Ni Yueshan turned around and looked at Jing Yuchen, his eyes flickering, "Don't you think I'm a monster?"
Jing Yuchen frowned slightly. "Why is he a monster? How can a person who relies on pills to prolong his life become a monster?"
Ni Yueshan was stunned. She thought he knew she came from another world.
Seeing that Ni Yueshan seemed to be in a bad mood, Jing Yuchen's expression became more serious: "Are you hiding a secret from me?"
Ni Yueshan sat down on the bed and nodded.
Jing Yuchen saw that Ni Yueshan didn't want to talk, so he didn't force her and changed the subject: "Go to sleep."
Ni Yueshan climbed onto the bed obediently and slept inside. Jing Yuchen followed and lay down on his side. Ni Yueshan looked at him and asked with a smile: "Why don't you ask in depth for your curiosity?"
Ni Yueshan pointed her finger at the tip of his nose, with a dark light in her eyes, as if she was deliberately trying to get him to ask more questions.
Jing Yuchen chuckled softly: "If you are willing to talk, I am naturally willing to listen. Go ahead and talk, I am listening."
Ni Yueshan pretended to be arrogant and said, "I am not the real Ni Yueshan!"
Ni Yueshan deliberately spoke in a light-hearted manner, hoping that Jing Yuchen would be scared when he heard it.
"Then who are you?" Although Jing Yuchen was surprised, he remained calm.
Ni Yueshan chuckled softly: "I...will scare you to death if I tell you!"
Jing Yuchen saw that Ni Yueshan was going to keep it a secret again, so he pulled the quilt over Ni Yueshan's head, covering both of them in the quilt, and bit her cheek hard.
"Then tell me now, or I'll really treat you like a monster!"
Ni Yueshan's voice begging for mercy came from inside the quilt, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Ni Yueshan begged for mercy repeatedly, and Jing Yuchen slowly loosened his grip on her wrist. Ni Yueshan sighed and said, "I was originally a different person, but when I woke up, I became Ni Yueshan, the daughter of the Prime Minister!"
This answer really surprised Jing Yuchen. Jing Yuchen lifted the quilt and looked straight at Ni Yueshan. He looked Ni Yueshan up and down, not missing any pores.
"So, you also inherited that birthmark. You really are good at choosing people. You chose an ugly woman over anyone else. Her ugliness is so unique that it attracted my attention?"
Ni Yueshan glared at Jing Yuchen fiercely: "Why don't your words sound like anything nice? And you even said I'm ugly?"
"To be honest, it's a bit ugly, but this ugliness... is barely acceptable..."
"You actually think I'm ugly!" Ni Yueshan repeated the same sentence, obviously caring a lot.
Jing Yuchen felt that Ni Yueshan was about to get angry, so he quickly huddled in the quilt and started scratching Ni Yueshan's armpits.
Ni Yueshan's muffled laughter could be heard from under the quilt, and it could be heard clearly from a distance.
After the morning court session on the second day, Jing Yuchen went to ask for an audience with the queen.
The queen lazily held her forehead with her hand, with a smoky incense burner at her side, emitting bursts of burning incense. The hall was very quiet. The pearl necklace was opened and Jing Yuchen was brought in.
"Your son greets your mother!"
The Queen glanced lazily at Jing Yuchen and said, "I heard that you will be assigned to build a canal?"
"yes!"
"Work hard, and if you achieve great success, the position of Crown Prince will be yours again!"
Jing Yuchen frowned tightly. As expected, in the eyes of the Queen, there was only the position of Crown Prince...
"Mother, I would like to ask you for the miraculous medicine to heal my scars!"
The queen was originally very lazy, but these words made her a little more energetic: "Why, do you still need that ointment for those wounds on your body?"
"yes!"
Jing Yuchen answered politely, originally thinking that the Queen would easily give her the ointment, but she actually snorted: "I think you must have asked for it on behalf of someone else. And as for the ointment, I only had one bottle at the time. If you want it now, you have to ask your father for it."
Jing Yuchen lowered his gaze, then said, "Then I should withdraw."
"Wait." The Queen called out to Jing Yuchen, "Yueshan hasn't been injured recently. Who are you praying for?"
Jing Yuchen's expression was slightly displeased: "A friend."
The queen chuckled softly: "This friend is probably a woman who loves beauty."
Jing Yuchen didn't say anything else, his expression was very serious. The Queen could not fail to see the impatience hidden in his eyes. Finally, he waved his hand: "Okay, you can go!"
"I'll take my leave!"
After Jing Yuchen left, the Queen sighed, "I'm afraid that woman said something to Yuchen that caused a rift between us, mother and son!"
"Queen, are you worrying too much? Prince Chen has a cold personality, so he doesn't talk much, but he's not estranged from you."
"Hmph, if it weren't for Ni Yueshan, how could he have lost his position as Crown Prince? If that bastard's mother was still alive, I'm afraid my position as Queen would have been lost to someone else!"
The queen was so angry that she knocked the incense burner on the table to the ground, scaring Nanny Bai and everyone else so much that they quickly knelt down.
"Queen, calm down!"

After Jing Yuchen left Kunning Palace, he had no choice but to go and meet the emperor.
The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen approaching, his eyes darkening: "What's the matter?"
"Father, I would like to ask for your tribute of rare medicine."
The emperor sat on a high throne and looked down at him: "Your mother gave you a bottle before, it was for Ni Yueshan. Now, who is it for?"
Jing Yuchen frowned. Now a bottle of ointment is so unpleasant?
"Father, that ointment is only for women to maintain their beauty. It's useless even if you want it."
