Chapter 318 She Holds a Vengence

"Well, it's done. Just apply the medicine every day and keep it away from sunlight. You'll see the effect after half a month. With the dragon scale grass, it should be fine after some care." Tian Nanxing smiled, a rare achievement.

"Thank you, Godly doctor." Hearing this, Lu Qiongying felt relieved and began to look forward to the moment when she would look in the mirror in half a month.

Shen Liuzheng put on her the veil that she had prepared in advance.

In order to block out the sunlight, the veil is made of thick black gauze, so that no light can penetrate.

Lu Qiongying obeyed and returned to her own palace to recuperate.

When Helian Ji learned about this, he hurried into the palace to see her with gifts the next day.

"This is our Dongluo Ganoderma Gel. Your skin will become smooth and fair after applying it. In short, it will be of great benefit to your recovery."

He handed the things over somewhat awkwardly.

"No need, you already gave me dragon scale grass last time." Lu Qiongying shook her head and refused.

They also had this kind of restorative ointment in the Great Summer Palace.

"They are different. Dragon scale grass is an apology, and this is..." Helian Ji was a little stuck for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He heard from his father about Lu Qiongying's facial treatment and felt both worried and impressed.

It is amazing that a girl could endure the excruciating pain of having her flesh cut.

He felt inferior to me.

"What is it?" Lu Qiongying asked in confusion.

"It's a little token of my appreciation for you." He spoke awkwardly.

"After all, you are really amazing. You endured the pain."

"That's nothing. It was even more painful when I had smallpox. But I survived it just the same." Lu Qiongying smiled indifferently, her tone full of pride.

Before Helian Ji could praise her, Lu Qionghua hurried over.

"What are you doing here? Shouxi Palace doesn't welcome you." She looked at Helian Ji with a stern face.

Helian Ji was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Is it not okay for me to bring a gift?"

"Don't bother, Prince. There's no need for gifts. Mingyue, send him away." Lu Qionghua snorted and asked the palace maid to send the man away.

"Don't you say you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you? Why did you chase me away?" Helian Ji was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

But Lu Qionghua pretended not to hear and turned his head away, leaving him with the back of his head.

"Fifth Princess, please say something!" Helian Ji looked at Lu Qionghua anxiously.

He came to see her specially, she wouldn't be so cruel.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiongying followed suit and turned around with her back to him.

Lu Qiongying was still wearing a veil, and Helian Ji couldn't even see the back of her head.

"As a real man, there is no reason to take back what you have given away. I've given you the things, use them if you like." Helian Ji snorted and left angrily.

After he left, Lu Qiongying lifted her veil and looked at her sister. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Qionghua, father and mother have always praised you for being well-educated, gentle and elegant. Why were you so fierce to Helian Ji today? It's not like you at all." Lu Qiongying looked at his sister in confusion.

"Who asked him to say you were ugly back then?" Lu Qionghua snorted.

She holds a grudge.

Qiongying was born and grew up with her.

Only she can bully.

"Hehe, Qionghua, you are so nice to me." Lu Qiongying took her sister's arm and smiled foolishly.

"Then let me be your sister and I will take care of you!" Lu Qionghua looked at her with blinking eyes.

"No! I came out first, and I am the older sister." When it comes to her identity as an older sister, Lu Qiong refused to give in.

"But I'm smarter than you, and I can still take care of you! Mother told you to learn from me when you don't know what to do." Lu Qionghua muttered in retort.

"No, no, absolutely not."

The palace maids felt helpless as they watched the two sisters quarreling over their identities as elder sister.

Over the years, the two princesses have been competing to be the "older sister" since they were three years old, and the situation has not changed to this day.

After being sent out of the palace, Helian Ji returned to the palace in a depressed mood.

He wanted to ask his mother if he was so unlikable.

It's been so long since the incident happened, why do the Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess still dislike him so much?

He has obviously apologized.

"Mother, I feel sad." He walked into the yard dejectedly.

His mother Dongfang Yueran was looking for her things everywhere. When she heard what he said, she casually said, "What's wrong?"

Without waiting for his answer, Dongfang Yueran looked at the maid Ah Man.

"Hey, why is my Ganoderma Lucidum gone? Ah Man, did you take it somewhere else?"

She looked around, very confused.

The Ganoderma Lucidum Gel on her dressing table was all used up, and she was thinking of opening a new one, but she didn't expect that the remaining five bottles of her treasured collection were all gone.

Ah Man shook his head, very anxiously: "No, the things have always been placed here."

When Helian Ji heard this, he froze instantly.

Oh no, before entering the palace today, he secretly took away my mother's Zizhi Gel.

He thought that since it was still on his mother's dressing table, she would definitely not notice it.

Just wait until next month to make up for it.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that my mother's was used up and now she wanted to use the unopened ones.

Helian Ji suddenly felt guilty and turned around to leave.

Dongfang Yueran knew her little son very well. When she saw his look, she immediately narrowed her eyes and gave the maid a look.

Ah Man understood and immediately grabbed Helian Ji by the collar and pulled him in front of the princess.

"Tell me, what bad thing have you done again?" Dongfang Yueran looked at his younger son with a headache.

"No, I didn't do anything." Helian Ji shook his head quickly.

"You said before that you felt uncomfortable. Tell mother how you felt." Dongfang Yueran pulled him to sit next to her.

Helian Ji no longer remembered whether he felt uncomfortable or not. He just wanted to run away.

If my mother found out that he had given all her Ganoderma Lucidum away, she would definitely beat him.

"I don't feel bad anymore. I'm going to study now. I can't delay my studies." Helian Ji stood up and wanted to leave, but his mother pulled him back to sit.

"If you don't tell me, I'll let your aunt deal with you." Dongfang Yueran became more and more certain that there was something wrong with his son's behavior, and immediately brought up the eldest princess Helian Sarai, whom he feared the most.

"I said, isn't that enough?" Helian Ji immediately gave in.

If my mother acts coquettishly and admits her fault, maybe she can avoid being beaten.

If my aunt comes, she will really beat me.

"I took your Ganoderma Lucidum Gel." He lowered his head, rubbed his fingers, and answered carefully.

"What are you doing with that thing? You're not a daughter." Dongfang Yueran looked at her son in surprise.

Since when did my son start to love beauty?

"I gave it away." Helian Ji answered hesitantly.

"Sending the girl?" Dongfang Yueran guessed it immediately when she saw his expression.

"Yeah." Helian Ji nodded.

Thinking of his entry into the palace today, Dongfang Yueran suddenly understood.

"Send the fifth princess?"

"Yeah." Helian Ji nodded again.

"Do you feel bad because they confiscated it?" Dongfang Yueran guessed the truth at once.

"How did you know?" Helian Ji looked up at his mother in surprise.
