Chapter 72: Face Painting, Stand-in
Su Yuheng arrived at Prince Li's Mansion under Linglong's protection.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Huo Xingzhi escorted the person to the front hall of Prince Li's mansion.
"Your Highness, is there something important?" Su Yuheng asked.
Huo Xingzhi curled his lips and said, "You and I are husband and wife now, and I can't let you stay in the Su family."
"Heng'er, from now on, Prince Li's Mansion is your home."
As Huo Xingzhi spoke, he hugged her waist and helped her sit on the chair.
After a while, a young man in white came into the front hall.
The young man held a folding fan in his hand, had a handsome face and a plum blossom on his forehead.
Her ink-like hair falls gently, and the corners of her lips seem to be smiling, making her look like a real demon.
"Who is this?" Su Yuheng asked.
Huo Xingzhi laughed and said, "Ghost Thousand Faces."
Ghost Thousand Faces?
Su Yuheng frowned, as if he had some impression of it.
Gui Qianmian walked up to Huo Xingzhi and Su Yuheng and bowed respectfully.
"I greet the prince and the princess."
Huo Xingzhi: "Please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess."
After Gui Qianmian stood up, he waved his folding fan and his eyes fell on Su Yuheng's face.
"Is this the face that the prince asked me to draw?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded.
Ghost Thousand Faces' eyes wandered over Su Yuheng's face, and he suddenly curled his lips into a smile: "This face may be a bit difficult and will take some time, but when it comes to serving His Majesty, a little time is nothing."
Su Yuheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Gui Qianmian staring at him.
Ghost Thousand Face's greatest skill was disguising himself and teaching others how to imitate. Could it be that Huo Xingzhi had let Ghost Thousand Face come before him...
"Your Highness, do you want Ghost Thousand Face to disguise me?"
"No." Huo Xingzhi said.
"It's to disguise Linglong. From now on, you can come to my Prince Li's Mansion at night, and Linglong will take your place at the Su Mansion. This way you will have more freedom."
"After all, you and I are married now, and you can't let me stay alone in an empty house."
Huo Xingzhi's words made Gui Qianmian cough twice.
Su Yuheng's face suddenly turned red, and he reached out and pinched Huo Xingzhi.
Huo Xingzhi whispered, "From now on, you will be the Fourth Miss of the Su family during the day, and the Princess of Li at night."
Su Yuheng was amused by Huo Xingzhi's words, but she knew Huo Xingzhi's strength.
Who doesn’t Huo Xingzhi have among his disciples?
"Then Heng'er will listen to the prince."
In the wing room.
Gui Qianmian took the paintbrush, looked at Su Yuheng's face, and carefully painted on Linglong's face.
About an hour later, a face similar to Su Yuheng appeared in front of everyone.
Gui Qianmian sighed and said, "The princess's facial features are extremely difficult to draw. Drawing them like this is already my ultimate limit."
Su Yuheng looked at Linglong.
Although Linglong disguised herself to look like her, she didn't look exactly like her, only about 70% similar.
So I can only replace her night.
During the day, she still had to go back to the Su family.
"What do you think, Heng'er?" Huo Xingzhi asked.
Su Yuheng raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Yes, they do look alike, but if you look closely, they don't. Sister Linglong is very skilled and perceptive, so she won't let Su Yanqiu notice."
"What's more, Su Yanqiu is no longer allowed to enter Fangfei Garden. Let Sister Linglong take his place just to avoid the Su family's suspicion."
Linglong bowed and said, "I will definitely complete this task for the prince and princess."
Huo Xingzhi glanced at her and said calmly, "You've always been smart. You must be able to adapt to any situation. Don't let Su Yanqiu find out."
"Also, contact the eldest son of the Su family privately and tell him that his leg can be cured."
"If you have the chance, you can explore the Su Family Ancestral Hall again."
Linglong clasped her fists and said, "I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by the prince and princess."
"Get up."
After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking coldly, Linglong got up from the ground.
Su Yuheng walked over and said, "Sister Linglong, I'll take you to fix your hair."
"Thank you, Princess."
Su Yuheng took Linglong to the guest room, changed her clothes, and changed her makeup and hairstyle.
After everything was done, she wrote a letter and handed it to Linglong.
"This is for Bailu and Baizhi. The two maids should cooperate with you."
Linglong sent a letter to his subordinates and whispered, "I understand."
After Linglong left, Su Yuheng always felt empty in his heart.
I guess he wants two maids.
Linglong only takes her place at the Su's house at night, and she has to go back during the day.
As she was thinking, Huo Xingzhi pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing the girl sitting in front of the window in a daze, Huo Xingzhi slowly walked over and held her in his arms.
"What are you thinking about, Heng'er?"
Su Yuheng came back to his senses and looked at Huo Xingzhi who had come in. "Your Highness just said that Su Mingzhe's leg can be cured? Is that true?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded. "Su Mingzhe followed me in his early years, made many military achievements, and won many battles. But within a year of returning to the Su family, his legs became crippled and he could only sit in a wheelchair."
Su Yuheng frowned, she had also doubted this matter.
She remembered when she first met Su Mingzhe. She was only fourteen years old at that time. Su Mingzhe had just returned from the battlefield, full of vigor and energy. When he saw her, he would gently call her "Sister Heng'er".
But later, his health deteriorated.
She often wanted to visit Su Mingzhe, but was stopped by Liu, who said that Su Mingzhe was a sickly person and would pass his illness on to her.
"Your Highness, that elder brother's leg can really be cured. If not, I will write a letter and ask someone to come."
Huo Xingzhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Write a letter?"
"Dr. Feng Wu, maybe he can cure my brother's leg."
Huo Xingzhi said: "It is said that the miraculous doctor Feng Wu travels all over the world. Do you know where he is?"
Su Yuheng curled his lips: "Of course I know."
"Leave this matter to me."
Huo Xingzhi: "Okay, I'll listen to Heng'er."
The night was quiet, and the moonlight shone through the window, shining on the two people in front of the window.
Huo Xingzhi picked him up and placed him on the bed.
In the dimly lit and half-dark room, the entangled shadows of the two people fell slowly on the wall.
Suddenly, a man's hoarse voice came from the side room, "Heng'er, let's have a child."
"no."
"Why not?" Huo Xingzhi was a little anxious.
Su Yuheng curled his lips and said, "Now is not the time."
…
The next day, at dawn, Su Yuheng returned to the Su family.
Today is also the birthday of the retired emperor, and several unmarried women from the Su family were invited to attend the banquet at the palace.
Liu Jinshu sat in front of the bronze brocade, looked at herself in the mirror, and began to put on makeup as Su Yuheng taught her yesterday.
After a while, Tianshuang came in from outside and handed a letter to her.
"Miss, there's a girl at the side door who asked me to give you this letter."
Liu Jinshu took the letter, glanced at Tianshuang, and said, "You go out first."
Tianshuang nodded: "Yes, Miss."
Only after Tianshuang left the room did Liu Jinshu open the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, Liu Jinshu raised his lips in a strange arc, and then said meaningfully: "It would be perfect to let that little bitch who occupied my identity marry into Prince Ming's mansion."
"I heard that Prince Ming is old and ugly, and he will definitely satisfy her."
