When Xu Wanjing left the Prime Minister's residence, her mind was filled with Jin Yin's face, which was so beautiful it seemed unreal.
I never imagined that Jin Yin was a real man, and I never imagined that he was already eighty-three years old this year!
What kind of monster is this?
As Xu Wanjing sat in the carriage returning to the palace, she grew angrier the more she thought about it.
An old man can be more beautiful than her; God must be blind!
She couldn't help but ask her personal maid, Qiuju, "Do you think the old monster's face is real or not?"
Qiuju asked in surprise, "Didn't Madam just say that it was a rejuvenation technique used by Mr. Jin?"
She was standing outside the door and didn't hear much.
Xu Wanjing shook her head: "What kind of beauty-rejuvenating technique is this? It's all just an excuse."
"That old monster's face might belong to someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Qiuju felt a chill run down her spine.
"If I could learn his face-changing technique, wouldn't I become an unparalleled beauty?" Xu Wanjing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiuju couldn't help but swallow, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Xu Wanjing suddenly said, "Turn around and go back!"
She couldn't miss this golden opportunity.
Qiuju hurriedly told the coachman and guards to turn around and return to the Prime Minister's residence.
When Xu's mother saw her return, she asked in surprise, "As the Empress, how can you stay out all night?"
"Anyway, you've already come up with an excuse for me, so it's fine for me to stay one night!" She hurriedly looked towards the inner hall, but didn't see Jin Yin. "Where is he?"
Xu's mother said irritably, "What do you mean, 'that person'? That's your Uncle Jin..."
"Alright, once he does me a favor, I'll just bestow upon him the title of Duke."
"What do you want him to do for you?" Xu's mother suddenly became wary. "He went to great lengths to escape from the south and come to us for help. We must not let outsiders know about this."
Xu Wanjing immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, I don't care what you and Dad are going to do with him, I just want him to help me get a new face."
Xu's mother was taken aback: "What did you say?"
Xu Wanjing said irritably, "Mother, as the Empress, my face is far too ordinary... It's all your fault for looking like this, making me look like this too..."
Xu's mother was so angry she almost twisted her nose; was this a sign that she disliked her?
Xu Wanjing ignored her and looked around, asking, "Where is he?"
"Your Majesty the Empress!"
Jin Yin's voice suddenly came from behind.
As soon as Xu Wanjing turned around, she saw Jin Yin standing with Xu Wanhe.
It was clear that the two had just overheard her conversation with Xu's mother, and Xu Wanhe's expression was quite unpleasant.
Xu Wanjing ignored the Xu family and walked straight towards Jin Yin: "Uncle Jin, can you help me change my face?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanhe and his wife turned green with anger.
Jin Yin showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty's face is so noble and imposing. Wouldn't it be a waste to change it?"
"It's alright, I just need a pretty face!"
Xu Wanhe could no longer hold back: "Nonsense! Your face belongs to the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Xu's mother hurriedly said, "Empress, if you change your face, will the ministers and the people still recognize you?"
This child has become arrogant since entering the palace. What is he thinking about?
Xu Wanjing finally calmed down.
Yes, if she changed her face, who would still recognize her as the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
But with such a great opportunity right in front of us, are we just going to let it go to waste?
Xu Wanjing glanced at Jin Yin's beautiful face across from her again, her heart filled with jealousy.
Seeing her wavering expression, Jin Yin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. I actually have a way to achieve the best of both worlds."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanhe and his mother's expressions changed.
Jin Yin hurriedly said, "Prime Minister and Madam need not worry, my method will not affect Your Highness's status."
Xu Wanjing's face immediately fell: "Does this mean I have to keep wearing this ugly face?"
Xu's mother's face turned a deep shade of liver.
Jin Yin smiled and said, "Your Majesty need not worry. This humble subject can use a medicine on Your Majesty to gradually change your original appearance. It won't be too abrupt all at once, but you will become very beautiful after a few months."
Xu Wanhe and his mother looked at Jin Yin with livid faces and strong disapproval.
They secretly brought Jin Yin back to the mansion to discuss with Xu Wanjing the important matter of dealing with Xiao Shiyan and those disobedient ministers, but they never expected that their daughter would be so determined to change her original appearance!
Xu Wanhe didn't think much of it, but his mother was furious.
Is her daughter saying she's ugly?
But now she could not reprimand Xu Wanjing as she had in the past, after all, she was now the mother of the nation.
Xu Wanjing hurriedly pulled Jin Yin: "Uncle Jin, that kind of medicine..."
"What medicine? Could it be poisonous?" Xu's mother interrupted her, asking coldly.
Jin Yin immediately became serious: "Madam, rest assured, this medicine was created by my ancestor. My master and I have been using it for a long time. If it were poisonous, how could I have survived to this day?"
Xu Wanjing was overjoyed upon hearing this.
“However, this medicine needs a catalyst…” At this point, Jin Yin glanced at Xu Wanhe very subtly.
Xu Wanhe's expression immediately hardened.
He knew what the medicinal ingredient was.
The Paradise Altar has existed for over a century, and its deeds are already infamous.
However, the Xu family were not exactly virtuous people, and they didn't care about using human blood as a medicinal ingredient.
However, by this time, the Xu family had already rendered meritorious service in supporting the new emperor and had become a rising star in the new dynasty.
They are trying their best to clear their name, so how can they drag the Xu family into the dark again?
