The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

While waiting for Qinghe to come back, Qingyin took the opportunity to exchange a beauty pill and a fitness pill from the system and took them.

As soon as the magic medicine was taken, the weak feeling of this body was much better.

At least I no longer feel dizzy when I move.

But... thinking of the current situation of his original body, Qingyin frowned slightly, feeling that he might still need to use this illness to achieve a goal.

After thinking about it, Qingyin simply exchanged another critical illness pill from the system. The effect of this pill is that it will appear to be critically ill, but in fact there is no physical harm.

The effect of the medicine was so great that once Qingyin took it, the color on her thin face, which had just gained some redness from the activity, faded again. Her pale face with the only bit of red on her lips made her look even more fragile.

Qingyin picked up the dressing mirror on the table and looked at her original appearance.

This body originally had a gorgeous appearance, but perhaps it was the effect of the critical illness pill, the skin color became even whiter, like a snowflake slowly melting above and below the snow, fragile and gorgeous, giving people an inexplicable feeling of distress.

Qingyin looked at the mirror, raised her eyebrows and acted arrogant.

The beauty in the mirror also responded in the same way.

His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were sarcastic, and the fragility on his face was much less.

Qingyin nodded with satisfaction and put down the mirror in her hand.

And familiar footsteps were heard outside the house.

"Miss, the medicine is ready." Qinghe walked in holding a bowl of freshly cooked medicine.

"Miss, would you like me to feed you?"

Facing the loyal maid who was looking at him attentively at the bowl of black and bitter-looking Chinese medicine with a spoon in her hand.

Qingyin still rejected her kindness.

She was fed such bitter medicine spoonful by spoonful, she was afraid that she would get bitter numbness.

Compared to chronic torture, Qingyin still feels that short-term pain is more suitable for him.

Taking the bowl of medicine, Qingyin drank it all in one gulp.

After taking the medicine, Qingyin also had time to start caring about her daughter.

"Where is Nian Nian?"

"The young lady finally felt relieved when she saw that the young lady was awake. She has fallen asleep. I didn't want to disturb the young lady, so I carried her back to her room. Do you want to see her?"

"Forget it. She's been scared these past few days. Let her have a good rest. I'm sick now. Don't let her come, lest she get sick."

After saying that, Qingyin's throat felt itchy and she suddenly started coughing violently.

Qinghe was so scared that she immediately supported the young lady and gently patted her back to help her calm down.

Qingyin coughed violently for a few short times and finally stopped, but his pale face had an abnormal red color.

"Miss, I'll go call the palace doctor..." Qinghe said in a crying voice.

Qingyin shook her head. "No, I just need to rest for a while. Go get me a glass of water."

Qingyin lowered her head, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Don't tell Nian Nian about what happened today. As for... your husband, you can tell him."

Qinghe's eyes turned red. The young lady was in this state because of Lord Liu, but she was still thinking about him.

Qinghe felt sorry for the young lady and was a little unwilling to accept it, so she didn't want to go find Liu Zhi.

In the end, she was moved by the fatigue and expectation in Qingyin's eyes, and she left quickly.

Finally, he found an opportunity to send Qinghe away, and Qingyin, who was left with space, was finally ready to implement his plan.

She closed her eyes and lay down on the bed.

The woman on the bed was panting, her face pale, with only an abnormal blush on both sides of her cheeks. Big drops of sweat rolled down her thin face, fragile and beautiful.

—

The East Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qinghe strode towards the master's yard.

She looked at the guard who was standing in front of the door and refused to give way, his face full of anger.

"My wife is sick and wants to see the master. Why won't you let me in?"

"If you delay the treatment of Madam's illness, do you know the consequences?"

The two tall guards standing at the door looked at each other, and a similar and understanding disdain flashed in their eyes.

This person is the personal maid of their master's wife.

But everyone in this mansion knows that the mistress is not favored by the master, and this is not the first time she has used illness as an excuse to deceive the master!

Because Qingyin's fall into the water in the mansion involved Su Fangying, Liu Zhi deliberately sealed the mouths of those who were present that day, so no one knew that the mistress of the mansion fell into the water and became seriously ill.

The leading dark-faced guard shook his head firmly at Qing He. "The master is discussing important matters with a distinguished guest. No one can enter without his permission. Miss Qing He, please go back for now. It would be more appropriate for the Madam to ask the palace doctor to come and see her!"

The disdain in the guard's eyes stung Qing He's eyes, "You are just a servant, and you dare to look down on the lady!"

"I didn't do that. Miss Qinghe, you can't slander me." The guard restrained the expression on his face, but still didn't say anything to let Qinghe go.

Qing He became even angrier. Looking at the guards who were staring at her, she wished she could beat them all to death.

But what is more important at the moment is the lady. Thinking of the expectation in the lady's eyes, Qinghe tried to calm down and observe the distance to the door and the place where the two people were guarding. If she hurried, she should be able to run over from the side.

However, first we have to make these two guards let down their guard and stop staring at her.

Qing He pretended to be disappointed and turned around and walked back. The guards finally felt relieved when they saw her turn around and walk away. They also felt even more disdainful of the lady in their hearts.

Just then... Qinghe rushed over.

—

In the east courtyard.

Liu Zhi and the man sitting opposite him were playing a game of chess.

"Why haven't I heard about any trouble caused by your troublesome wife recently?"

The man gently put down a chess piece and smiled.

Hearing this, Liu Zhi frowned.

"If the Third Prince has nothing to say, I can also send His Highness back."

"Tsk, I'm such a talkative person, and I've offended Minister Liu again. I deserve a slap on the face."

The man pretended to hit his mouth a few times, covering it with his sleeve, and then put it down.

Liu Zhi didn't find the man's actions strange at all.

The third prince Gu Yichen really laughed this time. He met Minister Liu after Liu Zhi passed the imperial examination and began to make a name for himself in the officialdom.

Meeting each other late doesn’t mean that the relationship between the two is bad.

On the contrary, Gu Yichen felt that he had met Liu Zhi too late.

Liu Zhi's thoughts, interests, and hobbies as an official are roughly the same as his, and he even has an inexplicable liking for his appearance.

After thinking about it, Gu Yichen placed another chess piece and looked at Liu Zhi opposite him.

Liu Zhi has a gentle appearance, not the kind that would appear aggressive, but rather an extremely delicate and handsome appearance.

Compared to his face that appears fierce, tough and murderous, Liu Zhi looks much gentler and more approachable.

But those who know his personality well know that although he appears gentle on the surface, he is actually much more unapproachable than his aloof appearance.

This person is hot on the outside but cold on the inside.

Compared to him, the other young general is...

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. Your Majesty has been troubled for a long time recently because of the Nan'an incident. Don't you have any ideas?"

Gu Yichen asked casually.

Liu Zhi's eyebrows remained unchanged. "The Nan'an incident is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone in the court knows about it. It's not my turn as a small official to intervene."

The key point is that the benefits of this matter do not affect the benefits Liu Zhi gained from offending those officials, so he is not going to intervene.

Gu Yichen nodded. "It's right for you not to take action now. I heard that this matter is quite complicated. If you get involved, you'll easily get yourself into trouble..."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the house.

Gu Yichen suddenly stopped talking.

He looked up at Liu Zhi, a smile on his face, "It seems you still need to take good care of this courtyard?"

Liu Zhi frowned, a hint of annoyance between his brows.

The two walked out of the house.

Liu Zhi looked at Qing He, who was pressed to the ground by several guards and was kneeling tightly, still struggling stubbornly and shouting for him.

"master!"

"master!"

"Master... Madam"

Gu Yichen followed behind Liu Zhi, listening to the maid's chatter, and guessed that this was a maid serving under Liu Zhi's arrogant and domineering wife.

He laughed softly and said, "This maid is really amazing. She even let him in with so many guards."

Liu Zhi frowned, "She was just trying to figure out that the guards wouldn't dare to take her life, so she came in with her mediocre skills."

Gu Yichen neither agreed nor denied Liu Zhi's words.

He smiled, indicating that he wanted to watch the show.

Hearing the master's voice, Qing He suddenly regained her strength. She quickly raised her head towards the voice and saw Liu Zhi. Her eyes lit up:

"Master, the lady is very ill and wants to see you!"

"If she's sick, she can just go to the court doctor. Why would she ask me, who can't treat her, to do it?"

Liu Zhi said coldly, his eyes piercingly cold.

Qinghe's face turned pale.

"But Madam is clearly..."

"It's obviously her own fault."

"If you trespass into the East Courtyard again, you will have to leave the house on your own. The Prime Minister's Mansion cannot keep a maid like you." Liu Zhi interrupted her, too lazy to talk to this bold maid anymore.

This time Qinghe was so scared that her body started shaking.

She was not worried about being punished, she was worried about the young lady. The servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion looked down on the young lady. If the young lady in the mansion lost a loyal maid like her, she would be bullied to death.

After thinking about it, she was thrown out by the guard in a daze.

After they left, Gu Yichen patted Liu Zhi's shoulder, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Didn't you say your wife was sick? Or even gave birth to a daughter for you? How could you be so heartless and not even go to see her?"

It would have been fine if Gu Yichen hadn't said anything, but as soon as he spoke he mentioned his daughter who was born after being drugged. Liu Zhi, who had just recalled the day when Qingyin fell to the ground in a daze but was still looking at him, was touched and suddenly felt cold.

"unnecessary."

Gu Yichen raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Zhi.

It seems that Liu Zhi and his wife really have a cold relationship.

Gu Yichen didn't take this woman, Song Qingqing, to heart for the time being, but Liu Zhi's extreme indifference towards her left a faint mark in his heart.

Qinghe, who was driven out, hurried back to Qingyin's yard.

The moment she saw Qingyin lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she thought that the young lady was sleeping peacefully.

But the next second when she reached out and touched the young lady's forehead, her face changed drastically.

"So hot!"

"Miss, miss!"

"Come to the palace doctor quickly! Something's happened to the lady!"
