"The Queen is well."
Tao Yao brought Lu Chen here to pay her respects to the Queen. It had been three days since she took the peach blossom pick, and Lu Wange's hypocritical skin had completely receded, leaving only the truest self.
"How polite the saint is."
The queen smiled and nodded. She was in a good mood these days, so her face was particularly rosy.
These days, His Majesty is focused on dealing with political affairs, or discussing some important matters with the Saint. It seems that he has not been to Lu Wange's place for a long time.
Since the saint appeared, His Majesty seems to have slowly returned to his wise and mighty appearance, so she is really grateful to this saint.
"Isn't the Queen curious about what's going on with Concubine Rong? Concubine Rong is ill and has to stay home these days. Isn't the Empress curious about what happened here?"
Tao Yao raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face.
Lu Chen followed her expressionlessly. Everything was none of his business. That woman was so cruel to him and she really needed to feel punished, even if it was his biological mother.
"Oh?" The queen was a little confused, "What does the saint mean by this? What will happen to Concubine Rong?"
When Tao Yao said this, the queen also felt that something was wrong. In the past, Concubine Rong was as high-profile as she wanted to be. Why is she hiding in her palace now and not coming out?
They all said they were sick, but they didn't explain clearly what the disease was. It wasn't like they weren't sick in the past, but they didn't stop coming to say hello. What on earth is Concubine Rong doing?
"The Queen is curious, why don't we go and see for ourselves?"
Tao Yao smiled and said that she just wanted everyone to know that Lu Wange's most real appearance, that beautiful skin was ultimately an illusion, and people had to return to their own appearance.
What's more, the wealth and wealth I have enjoyed for so many years are worth it, and everything is coming to an end.
"That's fine," the queen nodded. "Since Concubine Rong said she is sick, I will go and see for myself what the illness is. She is not so sick that she has not come out to see people for so long, right?"
In fact, even if Tao Yao didn't come forward, the queen would have already felt strange and planned to go over and have a look to see what Concubine Rong was up to.
Since Lu Wange regained his original appearance, he hid in his palace all day long, not daring to go out to see anyone. He told others that he was sick and did not even go to say hello.
Even Yuexiang, who wears close-fitting clothes, can't figure out what's going on. When she delivers food, she can only send it outside. The empress hides in the house alone, doesn't speak and doesn't come out. She just takes the food when she's not around. Take it in.
She was really puzzled as to what had happened.
This time when I was wandering outside the door, I noticed that the Queen and the Saint were coming, and I quickly knelt down to say hello.
"Greetings to the queen, and greetings to the saint."
Yuexiang's whole body was trembling a little. It was obvious why the queen brought the saint woman here. This probably had something to do with their queen.
But if asked, how would she answer? Even she herself didn’t know what was wrong with the empress.
"What's wrong with Concubine Rong? As a personal attendant, don't you know?"
The queen glanced at Yuexiang, then looked at the tightly closed door, her expression a little solemn.
She didn't come here intentionally to be sarcastic, but as the queen, she had the responsibility to come and see what happened to the concubine.
Concubine Rong's behavior is really abnormal, she must come and check it out.
Taoyao looked around. It seemed that without such a beautiful body, Lu Wange really didn't dare to come out to meet people. Didn't he even know his true face?
Lu Chen didn't speak, just followed Tao Yao quietly. He was mentally prepared and waiting for today.
"Replying to the Queen, I really don't know what happened to the Queen. Ever since I met the Saint that day, I have been confused and often said nonsense.
I don't know what's going on these days. I lock myself in the house alone and don't allow anyone to go in. Even the meals are delivered to the door. The slave really doesn't know what's going on. "
Yuexiang could only answer truthfully. She really didn't know what happened. She only knew that since the empress saw the saint that day, her whole body seemed like something had happened, and she said something that was incomprehensible. if.
"Are you saying that Concubine Rong became like this after meeting the Saint?"
The queen looked back at Taoyao, it seemed that this matter was not that simple.
"yes!"
Yuexiang nodded, she also felt that something serious must have happened, and she could only let the Queen come and make the decision.
"Come here, open the door. I want to see what's going on inside this room!"
The queen took a few steps back and asked the palace attendants around her to push the door open with all their strength. Today she wanted to find out what secrets this Concubine Rong had.
The door was pushed open in a matter of seconds. As soon as the door was opened, there was an unpleasant smell, like excessive incense.
The queen and others immediately covered their mouths and noses and walked inside step by step.
I only saw someone sitting in front of the dressing table, but the mirror seemed to be broken. Looking at the back, it was indeed Lu Wange.
"What's going on, Concubine Rong? Do you still need me to come to see you in person?"
The queen stared at the back carefully, and then looked around. There was indeed a lot of excessive incense in the room, but she didn't know that all the bronze mirrors were broken.
Looking at the broken bronze mirror on the ground, Tao Yao smiled. It seemed that this reaction was really big. If she couldn't accept her true appearance, was she going to throw all the mirrors away?
Lu Chen stared at the fragments of the bronze mirror on the ground for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Did the Queen come here specifically to ridicule me?"
Maybe it was because she hadn't spoken for a few days that Lu Wange's voice became very hoarse, or maybe she had resigned herself to her fate and stopped pretending to have a nice voice. It was useless anyway.
"What happened to you?"
The queen frowned. According to the rules, she was already standing here. Concubine Rong should kneel down to say hello. Why was she still sitting there with her back facing them?
The queen gave the palace attendant next to her a look, and the palace attendant immediately stepped forward and took Lu Wange's hand, wanting to move her whole body.
The moment Lu Wange turned around, everyone except Taoyao and Lu Chen were shocked, including the queen.
Who is this woman in front of me?
Is it Concubine Rong? impossible!
"who are you?"
The queen stretched out her hand and pointed at Lu Wange tremblingly. Who is the haggard-looking woman in front of her? Is she still the flowery Concubine Rong?
Strange, really strange.
Is it because this face has become so ugly that Concubine Rong hides and doesn't come out to see people?
But how could a face look like this for no reason? Or maybe which face is Concubine Rong’s real face?
Lu Chen only stared at Lu Wange's face for a moment, and then quickly looked away.
Everything in the past is still vivid in his mind. When he was a child, he suffered so many grievances and sufferings as if it was yesterday. If his sister had not appeared in his life, would this suffering have an end?
The woman in front of him gave him life, but she pushed him into hell with her own hands, so it was even.
He won't blame her, nor will he help her, that's all.
"Queen, I have told you before that there are things in the harem that are different from ordinary people, and this is it."
Taoyao stretched out her hand, holding a stick carved with a peach blossom.
"This is called a peach blossom lottery. A woman who owns this thing will become extremely beautiful and can be loved by men. Isn't it precisely because of this that Concubine Rong has been favored for many years? Now I will take this thing back, What she looks like right now is what she really looks like!”
Tao Yao reached out and squeezed hard, and the peach blossom pick in her hand immediately turned into powder.
"don't want!"
The moment Lu Wange saw Tao Hua Qian, her eyes lit up. This was her thing, and she said why she couldn't find it. But the next second, the peach blossom sign was crushed into powder by Tao Yao, and she screamed in despair.
"Why do you want to take away my things? Why do you want to take away everything from me? I have no grudge against you. What do I owe you?"
Sooner or later she was yelling like crazy, covering her face tightly, but the next second she realized it was useless and started laughing like crazy.
She crawled over and pulled Taoyao's skirt and beat her legs hard. What kind of hatred did she have with this saint Zhou? She wanted to take revenge on herself like this!
"It is true that I have no enmity against you, but you know who has enmity against you. What's more, I didn't hurt you, I just took something that didn't belong to you. You can't accept your own As it is, no matter how beautiful that skin is, it is not yours after all!"
Tao Yao pulled off the hem of her skirt, knelt down to look at Lu Wange, and spoke quietly.
In fact, Lu Wange's original appearance was not ugly, but as a comparison with such a beautiful skin, the current face was indeed a bit bland.
Lu Wange's eyes immediately became extremely evasive. Yes, there was indeed no enmity between her and this saint, but what about the person next to her?
Lu Chen acted as if he hadn't seen all this, and just stood quietly on the side. He just wanted to help Lu Wange when he was tugging on Taoyao's skirt, but he stopped in the end.
He knew that his sister was trying to avenge him, so he just stood by and waited for her to handle everything. Everything he had belonged to her.
"As expected! I knew you must have used some kind of charm to seduce His Majesty. Fortunately, the saint is here. Now that your true face has been exposed, what else can you say?"
The queen came back from the shock just now. She looked at Lu Wange's face carefully. In fact, this face was not ugly, but it was just ordinary in the harem.
It turns out that this is what the saint said. It turns out that the saint had known something was wrong with Concubine Rong for a long time. If he had known at that time, he would have agreed to the saint earlier and let the saint take off Concubine Rong's foxy skills earlier.
Now that so many people have clearly seen it, she will go and report it to His Majesty in person later, so that His Majesty can see what the woman she has loved for so many years is like!
"So what if it's my charm skills, but I have been favored by His Majesty for so many years, and you can only watch from the sidelines. Now you have long since aged and faded. Even without me, you still have other things. beauty!
Lu Wange pointed at the queen and laughed sarcastically. She was already like this anyway, and she should have broken the pot a long time ago.
Does the Queen think she has the right to ridicule her at this moment? It is simply a joke. After all, she once had such a beautiful body and has been favored by His Majesty for so many years. What does the Queen have?
It's just old age and beauty, and it's just that His Majesty doesn't like it. How ridiculous!
