Chapter 39 Xiao Zirui's hair stood on end
Yun Qingqing looked seriously at the person who was giving off cold air, and said in a gentle and persuasive way:
"Your Majesty, we were just a deal from the beginning. A marriage without a foundation of love will not be happy."
"You are so young and handsome, and you are also the God of War of Liang State. You are the hero in the eyes of many noble ladies. When your leg is healed, you can just wave your hand and find any woman you want. Don't you agree?"
Xiao Changheng looked at her quietly for a while.
Just when she thought he was going to remain silent until the end of time, the man spoke in a calm voice:
"Just because of this?"
Yun Qingqing spread her hands without commenting.
Xiao Changheng closed his eyes, and the coldness around him dissipated a little.
"Okay, as long as you don't regret it."
"How could that be! It's a pleasure to work with someone as straightforward as the prince. Have a good rest, I'm leaving first!"
Regret is impossible~, she just wants to quickly recover her cultivation and cut off the cause and effect, marriage and other things are just clouds.
Yun Qingqing resolved a worry and left with satisfaction.
Xiao Changheng looked at the heartless back of the little girl, his dark eyes blinking with turbulent undercurrents.
…
While everything was calm at the Prince Regent's Palace, the scene at the Prince's Palace, where he was getting married on the same day, was quite different.
The day before yesterday, after Xiao Zirui returned to the palace, he went straight to Yun Bailian's courtyard. After all, she was Tianfeng and the principal wife, and he had to coax her well.
"Brother Crown Prince, you're back!" Yun Bailian came up to him shyly. "Bai Lian will help Brother Crown Prince go to bed."
Xiao Zirui felt that this sweet voice made his bones soften, and he couldn't wait to go forward and hold the beauty in his arms.
However, as soon as he approached Yun Bailian, his expression suddenly changed and he stopped where he was.
"You...what's wrong with your face?"
Yun Bailian's heart tightened, she covered her face in shame and ran to look at the makeup mirror, saying delicately:
"Is it because your makeup is smudged? Prince, don't look at me yet. I'll be right there... ah!"
She saw herself in the mirror and suddenly screamed.
"My face...how did it become like this!?"
I saw that pustules had appeared on her face at some point, they were red and swollen and kept popping up!
Yun Bailian was anxious and scared, and rushed towards Xiao Zirui screaming:
"How could this happen? Prince, please save me! I don't want to be disfigured!"
"You, don't come over here!" Xiao Zirui stepped back hastily, "We don't know if your rash is contagious. I'll find a doctor to examine you right away! You should have a good rest tonight. I'll come to see you another day!"
As he said this, he fled amid Yun Bailian's fear and crying.
When he thought of the face he had just seen, he felt nauseous. Xiao Zirui hurriedly sent someone to call a doctor and ran to Su Yurou's yard.
However, as soon as I opened the door, a teapot flew towards me, along with Su Yurou's crying and scolding:
"It's obviously me who should be the Crown Princess! If it weren't for that little bitch Yun Bailian, how could I, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, end up spending my wedding night alone? Sooner or later, I will make her die a miserable death!"
Xiao Zirui dodged with a start, but the teapot hit the door and splashed water all over him. He looked at Su Yurou's ferocious face in astonishment.
Is this still the gentle and considerate Rouer?
Su Yurou had heard that he had gone to the queen's courtyard, but she didn't expect him to come over. She was stunned when she saw him appear.
"Prince brother..."
She froze for a moment, then immediately put away her anger and wiped her tears pitifully.
Xiao Zirui rubbed his brows and walked over with annoyance:
"Rou'er, I have already said that I have to marry Yun Bailian because she is helpful to my cause. Otherwise, what can I use to fight against the Regent?"
Su Yurou wiped her tears and said sadly:
"If it were just that, it would be fine, but today the dowry that the prince prepared for me was overturned, and many boxes were empty. Rou'er is so embarrassed!"
"If you can't bear to part with the money, just say so. Why are you humiliating Rou'er like this?"
Xiao Zirui had never expected such a thing to happen. He originally wanted to fool around with the matter of the empty box, and then give the two concubines some sweet treats when he returned home, but he didn't expect that it would be exposed in the street!
He coughed awkwardly a few times and tried to make amends:
"What? There is such a thing! Someone must have tampered with the transportation of the boxes! Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Su Yurou continued to whine:
"Then the prince must find out the whereabouts of the dowry and have them return it without missing a cent!"
"Of course." Xiao Zirui was in a dilemma and could only nod perfunctorily.
Su Yurou finally burst into laughter, wiped away her tears and threw herself into Xiao Zirui's arms, looking up and showing a sweet smile:
"Rou'er knows that the prince is the one who is sincere to her."
When she raised her head, she thought she looked so pitiful with tears in her eyes, but she didn't know that she was wearing a different kind of heavy makeup today than usual, and her face had already become a clown from all the crying and making a fuss just now.
This smile was even more like a ghost, which frightened Xiao Zirui.
"Brother Crown Prince, it's getting late. Rou'er will help you get to bed."
Su Yu is gentle and kind.
Xiao Zirui's hair stood on end.
Especially when he saw this face, he was reminded of the scene when he saw Yun Bailian just now, and he immediately felt nauseous and lost all interest.
He pushed Su Yurou away and stammered as he stepped back:
"Well, well, I just came to see Rou'er first, but after all, we just got married today and left the principal wife alone. If it gets out, it will be criticized. I can't let Rou'er be criticized. You should take a rest first. I will come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Su Yurou stared at him blankly as he left without hesitation, and started smashing things again in anger.
As for Yun Bailian, Xiao Zirui did not appear again.
She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, shocked, frightened and sad. The doctor finally arrived, but could not find the cause.
In the end, I just said that she might have been bitten by a poisonous insect, and that the herpes was caused by the excessive fire in her heart. I prescribed some medicine to clear the fire and detoxify and then left.
Yun Bailian was anxious and angry, and suddenly remembered what Yun Qingqing said at the wedding.
——Since the Face-Eating Powder doesn’t work on me, guess who it will backfire on?
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed "Ah".
"No! No! I don't want to be disfigured!!!"
"Yun Qingqing, you bitch, how dare you to plot against me! You and I cannot coexist—"
…
…
The prince did not sleep well that night. The ghostly faces of his two concubines and the stunningly beautiful face of Yun Qingqing at the wedding kept appearing in his mind.
She became even more beautiful than before.
If he had known that she could recover her appearance, he should not have ignored her...
But it doesn't matter. Now that I have Tian Feng's help, once I kill the regent and take the throne, Yun Qingqing will be in my pocket sooner or later. Why should I be afraid that she will run away?
Early the next morning, the prince went out with dark circles under his eyes.
Wuan General’s Mansion and parade ground.
Chang Zongyan looked at the uninvited guest and unexpectedly bowed his hands in a common greeting:
"I wonder what brings you here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
