Chapter 433: Skin Painting

Mu Qianqian's face turned gray because of the loss of blood color. Blood flowed from her mouth through her nose to her cheeks and behind her ears.

The skin at the junction of the dark hairline and the snow-white skin slowly wrinkled, and then because the face of a dead person began to swell, the skin began to crack, and finally fell off because it could not bear it anymore.

"Ah! Is that the legendary skin painting technique?"

"Oh my God! It's actually the skin painting technique? Doesn't that mean peeling the skin off a living person? Too cruel."

"I know. That was the rumor in the palace before, about the palace maid Mu Qianqian who stole the favor of the Queen Mother of Heaven."

"This is unbelievable. She actually painted a face that looks so much like the Queen Mother of Heaven, just to get the emperor's favor?"

Zhu Qianyi was on the sedan chair. Seeing the emperor frowning as he looked at Mu Qianqian's body, he immediately stepped forward, took out a plain handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the blood off her face.

The woman's real face was also somewhat similar to Jiang Xinyue's, but only by two or three points, and it was not to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

Someone painted a skin on her and asked her to pretend to be Jiang Xinyue, trying her best to get the emperor's favor and alienate the relationship between the emperor and Jiang Xinyue.

What a big chess game!

If the emperor hadn't found her to be Jiang Xinyue's substitute by accident, no one would have discovered that her face was fake.

No wonder Yue'er said that Mu Qianqian's face looked very strange, as if her eyes were separated from her face. It turned out that this face was not her own.

Jiang's House——

"What are you talking about? Sister Yue...The Queen Mother was assassinated?"

Ruan stood in the lobby. She had just sent her husband away and was about to go to Sheng'an Temple with Aunt Lin to pray for the safety of the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess. As a result, she was stopped by the servants before she left.

Her body fell back suddenly, and everything in front of her was dark.

"Mother!"

"Madam!"

Jiang Xinyan and Lin cried out in surprise and hurried to support her. In just a moment, Ruan's eyes regained their brightness.

She gasped heavily, leaning on her little daughter's shoulder with weak legs, looking at the servant and said, "You...what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly, can you...say it again?"

"Madam..."

The servant had a tearful face: "Today the Emperor took the Queen Mother of Heaven and court officials to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum to pay homage to the ancestors of the Emperor and the late Emperor. I don't know why, the Queen Mother of Heaven was not on the entourage list, but the Emperor deliberately added her in. Just now...just now on Tiansheng Street, the Queen Mother of Heaven was assassinated, there was so much blood...When I passed by, I heard the assassin shouting that the Demon Queen was dead, and I...ran back quickly."

If the Queen Mother of Heaven was killed by an assassin, the Jiang family would be doomed, and as time went on, the Emperor would forget about the Jiang family.

Without the emperor's protection, the Jiang family's rise will be much slower, and it will not be enough to support the Sixth Prince's position as the crown prince.

"No, no..."

Ruan was obviously about to faint. Jiang Xinyan shook her head desperately, with tears in her eyes: "The emperor loves my sister so much, he will definitely protect my sister. How could my sister be assassinated? You must have heard it wrong."

Aunt Lin also opened her mouth and said tremblingly: "Yes! That's the emperor. Who can the emperor not protect?"

The servant slapped his thigh: "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. I can't be wrong, madam...ah!"

"Bang!"

The servant was kicked hard on the buttocks. He shouted and fell to the ground with his face on the ground.

Turning around, there was a young man with a figure as slender as a bamboo. His eyebrows were as delicate as a painting, and his facial features were deep and rich. His eyes were wide open and full of anger: "You dog slave, what are you talking about here? You scared my mother and sister."

"Ze'er..."

Ruan seemed to have found her backbone. She rushed towards her son and asked with great courage: "You said you were going to watch the ancestor worship team today. Where is your sister? Do you know if your sister is safe? Is she... is she still alive?"

It doesn't matter if she is injured, as long as she is alive, as long as she is alive, it's okay.

"What are you talking about, mother? My sister is in the palace for confinement after childbirth, and she is not among the entourage!"

My sister is the Queen of Heaven. The harem is her territory. What can happen to her in her territory?

Of course she is safe.

"Ah?"

The servant thought that his young master wanted to comfort the lady and the girl, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue speaking.

Ruan glanced at him and slapped Jiang Junze on the arm again: "Tell me the truth, what happened to Sister Yue? Was she seriously injured? Tell me the truth, don't lie to me."

"Ouch!"

Jiang Junze touched his hurt hand: "Mother, this dog servant misheard and didn't watch the whole show. It wasn't my sister who died, but my sister's substitute. The emperor had already arranged it. My sister is fine."

"Really?"

"Really, I swear I didn't lie to you."

Ruan burst into tears, but it was not the kind of sad cry, but the joy of surviving a disaster: "It's good that you're okay... It's good that you're okay. I was scared to death, really scared to death."

Jiang Xinyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

People can lie with their mouths, but not with their eyes. If my sister is really in trouble, Ze'er's eyes will definitely turn red.

The disabled servant was kicked twice by Jiang Junze and ran out in shame.

He wanted to get first-hand information and make a contribution, so he ran very fast, but he didn't expect to make a mistake.

Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum -

"Hahahaha..."

A group of dirty children surrounded a cleanly dressed, serious-looking child. They circled around him, pointing at him and making faces: "Come and see, everyone, come and see! The wild child without a father and a mother is out again."

"Hahahaha... Why does he look so strange? Let's make him normal."

Stones and mud hit a three-year-old child one after another, and his clean clothes were covered with mud within a moment.

The little boy was so hit that he cried loudly. Someone threw a large piece of pebbles down and hit him directly on the forehead, causing blood to flow profusely in an instant.

"Oops, we're in trouble. That ugly woman will come to trouble us again later. Run!"

"You stinky brats are bullying our Sheng again, get out of here!"

A woman with an ugly scar on her face rushed out and grabbed the bad kids like a mad woman.

"Ahhh... the mad woman is crazy, the mad woman is crazy, run! Hahahaha..."

"Lululu... the wild kids have no parents, we are not afraid of you, a mad woman, bullying you Lululu..."

Fenyun was so tired that she was panting, but the kids scattered like loaches.

The wound on the head of the fifth prince was still bleeding, so she could only be furious and hold the fifth prince back to treat the wound.
