Li Changyu washed his hands in the dish. After wiping them with a handkerchief, he glanced at her seemingly casually, his eyes cold. "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't naively think you can change the course of events with your own will." "You think you're very clever, but in reality, nothing in this world can escape the eyes of an emperor."
It turned out that he had been summoned by his father, the king, early that morning.
Upon entering the main hall, I saw a cold and desolate interior.
The imposing figure leaned casually against the throne.
Prince Rui knelt.
When he arrived, she wept bitterly and begged him.
My second brother must prove my innocence.
Nothing happened between me and that palace maid last night...
Li Changyu's long, slanted eyebrows twitched slightly.
He then realized it was an informant from Prince Rui's residence who had told his father, the Emperor, in great detail what had happened the previous night.
Therefore, he obeyed his father's orders.
Using the pretext of catching an assassin.
The real purpose was to verify whether she was still a virgin.
Before leaving,
He glanced at Mi Shan's face, which was strikingly different from her skin tone.
He coldly tossed out a sentence.
"Bring a basin of water and wash her face."
Mi Shan was taken aback.
I'm still savoring the first two sentences he said.
He lifted his robe, gave the two old women a cold, warning look, and stepped over the threshold.
The two old women were so frightened that they shivered.
Regarding anything that happens in this room,
They dared not utter a single word!
She didn't think too much about it, only that the assassin hadn't been caught, and the Crown Prince had just taken a fancy to teasing her.
Little did he know that women like Mi Shan, who were opportunistic and driven by greed, never caught his eye.
Mi Shan didn't know why he insisted on going against her.
Even before leaving, she had to have her makeup removed, ruining everything she had meticulously planned.
but--
No matter what you do, you can't escape the emperor's eyes...
These words were like a heavy boulder pressing down on Mi Shan's heart.
Her will to survive was crushed, and she almost lost all hope.
Really?
Is she destined to become a sacrifice to be buried alive in this second life?
Once your fate is switched by your elder sister, is there no possibility of starting over?
No, Mi Shan doesn't believe it!
Fate is always in your own hands.
Perhaps this time, the emperor won't die at all!
-
Outside the door.
Li Changyu walked forward coldly, no longer glancing at the crowd kneeling outside, and left indifferently.
But then he saw a young woman walking towards him.
She was Feng Qianzhong, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. She blocked his way with an overly familiar air.
"Your Highness, I am your humble servant. Do you remember me? We met at the celebration banquet on the sixth day of last month."
"What's up?"
A chill ran across Li Changyu's cold face as he interrupted her, his attitude keeping her at arm's length.
Feng Qianzhong's face flushed slightly: "No, I just wanted to ask, has the Crown Prince captured the assassin?"
"..."
Li Changyu abruptly withdrew his cold gaze and walked past her, leaving behind a gust of cold wind.
On the contrary, it was his personal bodyguard Zhao Si who...
Recognizing that Feng Qianzhong was the general's daughter, he gave her face and offered an explanation:
"It's all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."
Since even the Crown Prince isn't pursuing the matter, it should be considered closed.
Feng Qianzhong smiled, concealing his embarrassment.
Nodding, she gazed reluctantly at the departing, aloof figure.
-
inside the house.
When Mi Shan looked up, there was a basin of water and a soap pod for washing her face in front of her.
"His Highness the Crown Prince instructed me to watch you wash your face. Please, young lady!"
"Hmph, even makeup can't save her, do you think removing her makeup will bring a miracle?"
"No need to think about it, she must be ugly and unattractive!"
Granny Ping sneered from the side, her eyes full of schadenfreude.
She never imagined that someone would deliberately make her look ugly.
It was only known that a concubine's daughter of such low status as Mi Shan...
They were too busy doing everything they could to please the emperor and increase their chances of being chosen.
If you're wearing makeup, it's definitely to cover up your flaws.
Unexpectedly, the moment Mi Shan finished washing her face and raised her head...
The two old women were dumbfounded, their eyes wide with astonishment, almost popping out of their sockets!
"How...how is this possible!"
The woman before me is simply a rare beauty!
She simply removed all the excess makeup, and it was as if she had become a completely different person.
Although her facial features and contours have remained largely unchanged, her skin has become as tender as a freshly peeled egg, making one want to pinch it.
A pair of clear, beautiful eyes, as clear as the autumn moon reflected in a mirror-like lake.
Her red lips were vibrant and luscious.
"There hasn't been such a beautiful woman in the palace for many years, except for that one."
"But that one is no longer here."
Granny Ping gripped Granny Zhong's hand tightly, her body going limp to the ground in fear.
Mi Shan didn't say much, but before leaving,
He leaned against the door frame with one hand, turned his head, and gave them a cold glance.
This grudge!
She wrote it down!
The moment I stepped outside, a blinding glare filled my pupils.
Mi Shan raised her hand to cover her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed.
The young women sat in twos and threes, discussing what had just happened.
Everyone's saying she's offended the Crown Prince and is definitely doomed.
Seeing her come out,
Disappointment was evident in the eyes of many.
Only the young palace maid looked at her with joy, her eyes glistening with tears, and couldn't help but want to step forward.
As if remembering his own identity, he stopped in his tracks.
Mi Shan put her hand down.
Immediately, a gasp of amazement filled the air!
"Who...who is she?"
"Is this still Mi Shan? She seems to have been reborn!"
"It's Mi Shan. She hasn't even changed her clothes. But how come she's become so beautiful!"
Mi Shan walked down calmly.
Her clear skin was without any unnecessary embellishment or makeup.
The daughters of officials stared at her intently, their eyes filled with a mixture of inferiority and envy.
Feng Qianzhong, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, who was always chatting and laughing with others,
Hearing the sudden silence around him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look.
Then, his body stiffened.
The smile on his face slowly froze.
He paused for a moment,
Feng Qianzhong smiled politely and strode straight toward her.
"Miss Mi, are you? You must be frightened."
"I spoke with the Crown Prince just now and learned that you have been wronged."
