Previously, he had resigned himself to his fate in despair, but now that he heard that Xiao Jin could restore his face to its original state, how could Xiao Fengming not be tempted?
"Xiao Jin, you treat me, I'm not afraid of pain."
No matter how painful the pain in this world is, can it be more painful than the harm that those two scoundrels caused her?
"Royal sister, what exactly happened?"
With the matter of treating his face resolved, Xiao Yanchu asked the question he most wanted to ask.
As Xiao Fengming recalled his past, a surge of anger welled up in his eyes, and he slowly recounted everything he had experienced.
She was in danger at the temple and was rescued by Song Zijie.
Grateful for Song Zijie's selfless rescue, Xiao Fengming took him back to the princess's residence to recuperate. Gradually, they developed feelings for each other, and Song Zijie naturally became the princess's husband.
On their wedding night, Xiao Fengming sat in the bridal chamber, looking forward to the start of their happy life. Unexpectedly, after Song Zijie and she drank the nuptial wine, Xiao Fengming lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she was in a dark room at the bottom of a dry well, her hands and feet tied to the bed. Then Song Zijie appeared with a woman.
Just as Xiao Fengming was still in shock, the woman walked up to him with a dagger in her hand, "Xiao Fengming, from now on I am the Great Chu Princess!"
After saying this, the woman ignored Xiao Fengming's cries of pain and brutally peeled off her face.
Song Zijie watched all of this with a cold eye.
Song Zijie!
Xiao Yanchu wished he could tear him to pieces right now. He suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth, "Does Your Majesty know who that woman is?"
Xiao Fengming shook his head. "I have never seen this woman before."
"Royal sister, rest and recover. I will definitely avenge you!" Xiao Yanchu got up and was about to rush out.
He now desperately wants to catch Song Zijie and that fake princess and tear them to pieces.
"Wait!" Su Ruojin called out to Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu stopped and looked at Su Ruojin with red eyes, "A-Jin, do you want to come with me?"
Su Ruojin shook her head, "I won't go, and neither can Your Highness."
Why?
This time, not only Xiao Yanchu, but also Xiao Fengming found it strange.
Now that there is both witness testimony and physical evidence, Song Zijie and that woman deserve to die a hundred times over. Why is Su Ruojin stopping them?
The moment Xiao Fengming told Su Ruojin that her face had been peeled off, she finally realized that something had been off about her previous consultation with the princess, but she had never been able to figure it out.
Face!
The eldest princess's face!
To be precise, the princess's expression appeared somewhat stiff compared to that of ordinary people.
“My master once told me that there is a kind of disguise technique in the world that involves peeling off someone else’s face and sticking it on one’s own. In order for the face to blend seamlessly with one’s own face so that no one can tell the difference, one must take a pill called the Skin-Melting Pill. But this Skin-Melting Pill has a little-known side effect: once taken, both men and women will be infertile for life.”
This is why the "eldest princess" was unable to conceive.
She kept seeking medical help, presumably unaware of the side effects of the skin-melting pill.
This is why there was an evil aura in the "Princess's" body. Because Rongfu Dan itself is not a poison, the evil aura it creates in the body can easily be misdiagnosed as internal heat or liver fire deficiency, making it impossible to diagnose the real cause of the illness.
The imperial physicians, knowing the princess's past, diagnosed her with internal heat but didn't think much of it, assuming it was only temporary.
Moreover, there are very few doctors in the world who know about the existence of the Skin Melting Pill. If her master hadn't told her about some secret medicines found only in ancient books since she was a child, Su Ruojin would not have known about the existence of the Skin Melting Pill.
This face-changing method is different from ordinary disguise techniques. It uses a human face, and with the added effect of the skin-melting pill, Su Ruojin didn't realize that the "Princess" had disguised herself when she met her. She thought that the "Princess" disliked her, so it was normal for her expression to be a little stiff.
I never expected it was for this reason.
Xiao Yanchu was still puzzled. Even so, the other party had still harmed his elder sister, so why didn't Ajin let him arrest them?
But Su Ruojin's next words completely extinguished Xiao Yanchu's desire to win over Song Zijie.
