The woman thought carefully and said, "No. I eat and live with my parents. If there is a problem, why am I the only one who was poisoned?"
"This is strange. Think about it carefully. If we can't find the source of the toxin, there's nothing I can do," said the doctor.
"I, I..." The woman thought carefully and finally realized, "There is something that only I have."
"What is it?"
"Gu's Whitening Cream."
"Bring that whitening cream here for me to see."
"Okay." The woman put on the veil and turned away.
Half an hour later, the doctor sighed heavily and said, "Girl, there is nothing wrong with this cream."
"How is that possible?"
The woman came out of the drugstore in a lost mood.
The next day, another woman came to the doctor's house. The doctor was again shocked when he saw her symptoms. This woman's symptoms were identical to the previous one: her face and neck were covered in red bumps, a truly terrifying sight.
After the woman thought about it carefully, she also said it was a face cream, but the face cream had been tested and was not poisonous.
The source of the toxin now remains an unsolved mystery.
From that day on, doctors in all major pharmacies began receiving similar patients, all with the same symptoms. Slowly, rumors began to spread throughout the city, raising concerns about whether the illness was a contagious disease.
Gradually, more and more people began to develop this symptom, even the ladies in the palace and the daughters of noble families began to show this phenomenon one after another. This phenomenon spread among women like an infectious disease.
All the women in Chang'an City were in panic, fearing that they had contracted the disease.
Soon someone pointed out that these women had all used facial creams produced by Gu's Trading Company. When this news came out, all the women who were affected thought about it and realized that they had indeed used Gu's facial creams.
The news spread faster and faster, and the emperor had ordered the fourth prince to work with the Dali Temple to investigate the matter.
The rouge and powder shop of Gu's company was sealed off by government officials.
This move confirmed the rumors from outside, and for a while, Gu's Trading Company became a target of public condemnation.
Chuxiu Palace
Concubine Xiao swept all the cream off the dressing table and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician."
"Mother, don't worry, you're fine now." The senior palace maid Yu'er comforted her.
"If something happens, it will be too late. I don't want to end up like Concubine Zhao."
"This damn Gu family, if there really is something wrong with their face cream, I will never let them off." Concubine Xiao said gritting her teeth.
The empresses of the various palaces and the daughters of noble families did not dare to use the facial creams or rouge produced by Gu’s Company if they had them.
Prime Minister's Mansion
"Miss, do you think Gu's rouge and facial cream are really poisonous?" The head maid looked at the rouge and facial cream in front of her. They were bought a few days ago and the young lady had not had time to use them yet.
"Who knows. Let's put these creams here for now. It's not too late to use them after the truth is revealed." The prime minister's daughter is about the same age as Gu Pianran.
In this Chang'an City, she had been overshadowed by the most beautiful woman, causing everyone to ignore her existence. After Bei Yutang finally left, Gu Pianran came.
She didn't like Bei Yutang before, but her status, background, beauty and talent convinced her. But apart from being good at business, what else did Gu Pianran have to be better than her?
