On the road to Qianzhou, Jindou sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside. He saw Wei Qing riding on a tall horse in front, followed by two servants brought by Song Yujiao.

I never thought that my second brother would personally send me to Qianzhou. Jindou muttered to himself and lowered the curtain.

"Yujiao, do you know that I was almost killed by my second brother yesterday?" Jindou said to Song Yujiao with lingering fear.

"Really?" Song Yujiao was shocked.

"Of course it's true. You don't know, my second brother doesn't like serving tea and water at all. If I hadn't begged him yesterday, he would have killed me with a sword." Jindou patted his chest, still feeling scared when he thought about it.

"Indeed, if serving tea and water works, it would be impossible for Lord Wei not to get married at such an age," Song Yujiao nodded.

In front of the Qianzhou prefect's residence, Lord Song and his wife had already received the news and were standing in front of the residence waiting. When they saw Wei Qing and his party coming from afar, Lord Song and his wife hurried to greet them.

"Lord Wei, I am deeply honored to bother you again." Lord Song bowed deeply to Wei Qing.

"Sir Song, there is no need to be so polite. I would like to congratulate you on the upcoming birth of a son," Wei Qing said, also bowing his hands.

"No, no, Master Wei, I really have to thank you very much. If you hadn't brought Master Jindou here, I don't know what would happen to this mansion now."

Having said this, Lord Song bowed again and continued, "Lord Wei, our government has prepared some light wine. Please go in and rest for a while before returning to the capital."

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Song. I have something else to do and cannot stay for long."

As he spoke, Wei Qing turned his head to look at Jindou, who was happily chatting with Madam Song, and said to Lord Song, "Lord Song, I will hand the Jindou over to you. Please ensure its safety."

"Don't worry, Lord Wei. Master Jindou is a great benefactor to my family. I will never let him get into any trouble," said Lord Song.

"Okay," Wei Qing nodded, and continued, "When your wife is well, you must send me a message. I will come to pick her up in person."

Thinking of Jin Dou and Song Yujiao's plan to venture into the martial arts world together, Wei Qing added two more words: "Also, you must not let anyone else send her back to the capital. You must wait until I come to pick her up in person."

"Yes, yes, I will do as you say," Lord Song nodded repeatedly.

After instructing Lord Song, Wei Qing turned around and called out, "Golden Beans."

"Hey, second brother," Jindou, who was chatting happily with Madam Song, hurried over when she heard Wei Qing calling her.

"Jindou" Wei Qing looked at Jindou, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, and gently reminded him: "Be sure to pay attention to safety here, and don't go out without permission."

At this point, Wei Qing's expression suddenly became stern: "Also, you are not allowed to do any stupid things while wandering around the world!"

"Don't worry, second brother. I will stay here honestly and not go anywhere," Jindou quickly assured.

Wei Qing nodded, said goodbye to Lord Song and his wife without saying anything more, mounted his horse, and headed for the capital.

In the imperial palace, in Princess Fengyang's Changle Palace, Princess Fengyang had been sitting in front of her dressing table for half a day, looking at her face in the mirror. Princess Fengyang was extremely anxious.

Half a month has passed, and my face hasn't improved at all. What's more, it looks even worse than before. In the mirror, my face is covered with dense red rashes, which looks extremely scary and ugly.

"Qingyan, have you confirmed that this medicine is real?" asked Princess Fengyang.

"Princess, when I went to get the medicine, I asked carefully and they said that it was according to the prescription you gave me," Qingyan answered carefully.

Could it be that... there is something wrong with my prescription, or... I remembered one of the medicines incorrectly? Princess Fengyang couldn't help but feel nervous when she thought of this.

Princess Fengyang heard this prescription from her mother.

My mother said at the time that after drinking this prescription, rashes would appear on the face, but they would gradually subside after a few days, and the face would return to its original appearance after a month.

I heard that many girls from different families would use this prescription in order to avoid participating in the palace selection.

At that time, after hearing what her mother said, Princess Fengyang took the prescription to heart.

When the date of the marriage was approaching and Princess Fengyang had not thought of any other solution, she thought of this prescription and asked someone to secretly leave the palace to buy it.

Could it be that I remembered the name of the medicine wrong, or was it that my mother had already said it wrong when she told me? If that was the case, my face...

Princess Fengyang didn't dare to think any further. She turned to Qingyan and said, "Go tell the guards at the door that I'm not feeling well and ask them to call the imperial physician."

"Yes," Qingyan agreed and walked out.

It will recover, it will definitely recover. There are just some rashes on my face. I will ask the imperial doctors to prescribe some medicine. I should be fine soon, Princess Fengyang comforted herself in her heart.

After a while, the green smoke that had retreated came back again.

"Princess, the guards at the door said that the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave during the confinement period, and they dare not call the imperial physician," Qingyan replied in a low voice.

"If you say that again, tell him that I'm dying. I don't believe it and my father won't care about my life or death," Princess Fengyang said angrily.

"Princess," Qingyan advised cautiously, "If we alarm the Emperor now, I'm afraid it will only make him even more angry. Your confinement will be over in a few days. It wouldn't be too late to summon the imperial physician then."

"No, I can't wait any longer. If my face can't recover, I'll be finished!" Princess Fengyang looked at her face in the mirror and felt a chill rising from her body.

If her face could not be restored, not only would that man not marry her, even if she married into the Zhaoyuan Marquis's Mansion, she would probably be despised.

No, I can't ruin my face. I am one of the most beautiful women in Daqing Kingdom, not the ugly one in the mirror!

Thinking of this, Princess Fengyang called Qingyan over and whispered, "Go get some silver and secretly give it to the captain of the guards. Tell him to report to the emperor that I'm seriously ill and can't delay any longer."

After hearing what Princess Fengyang said, Qingyan felt helpless but had to obey. She bowed and replied, "Yes," then took a few steps back, turned around and walked out.

Princess Fengyang was waiting here expectantly, but unexpectedly, Qingyan soon returned and walked in: "Princess, I did as you asked, but the captain of the guards refused to accept the money. He said that if he accepted the money, he would be in danger of his life."

"What a bunch of bastards who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak." After hearing Qingyan's words, Princess Fengyang angrily waved her hand and swept all the things on the dressing box to the ground.
