The two princesses fell into the water at the same time, which caused a sensation in the Peony Garden. Many noble ladies came today. Everyone gathered by the lake and witnessed Cui Hao carrying the disheveled Zhao Baozhu ashore.

Everyone screamed, "It's Princess Rongchang! She's in Mr. Cui's arms!"

"Her clothes are not on properly, her skin is exposed!"

"Oh my, now Princess Rongchang has no choice but to marry Mr. Cui. What about Princess Shanzhen? Hasn't she always admired Mr. Cui?"

"Isn't this like two princesses fighting for Cui Hao? He's so lucky!"

Everyone was watching the show and gossiping at the same time. Royal gossip was the most interesting, and everyone from the entire Peony Garden gathered here.

Zhao Baozhu drank a lot of water but was still unconscious. Cui Hao held her tightly and would not let go no matter who held her. He said, "Let them see. The more people who see, the better. Anyway, he must marry a princess home."

Cui Hao's legs were in terrible pain. He looked down and saw that his right ankle was covered in blood. Perhaps it was cut by the rocks at the bottom of the lake. He carried Zhao Baozhu to the wing room of the Peony Garden with great difficulty and asked a doctor to see them both.

There was a doctor at the Peony Garden. He came and pressed on Zhao Baozhu's stomach. She vomited a few mouthfuls of water, coughed twice, and woke up.

As soon as she woke up, Zhao Baozhu felt a burning pain on her face. When she touched it, it was covered in blood. Zhao Baozhu screamed, "My face! What happened to my face?"

Zhao Baozhu's face was rubbed several times by Zhao Yuanqing with stones at the bottom of the lake, leaving many damages. When she was in the lake, the blood was washed away by the water and could not be seen. Now that she was on the shore, a lot of blood beads came out with a little force.

When Cui Hao saw her face, he was also shocked. It was covered in blood. Princess Rongchang might have been disfigured.

He shouted, "Doctor, please treat Princess Rongchang immediately!"

The doctor examined Zhao Baozhu and found more than ten small cuts on her face, some of which were covered with mud and sand. It was speculated that she was injured by stones in the lake.

The more Zhao Baozhu listened, the angrier she became. She yelled, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and cure me! If you can't cure me, I'll kill you!"

The doctor was angry and afraid, but in order to save his own life, he had to let the female doctor clean the mud and sand off Zhao Baozhu's face. Zhao Baozhu screamed in pain and kicked the female doctor to the ground, "It hurts so much! Are you trying to kill me?"

The doctor was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I dare not, Princess, spare my life!"

"You piece of crap! Stop touching my face! Give me the mirror!"

The maid handed the mercury mirror to Zhao Baozhu. This mercury mirror was an imported product from the sea and was very expensive. It was specially obtained for her by Concubine Hui. The mirror could reflect people very clearly.

Zhao Baozhu's face was reflected in the mirror. Her hair was messy and stained with some water plants. Her face was pale and a little swollen, but that was not the main issue. The most important thing was that there were more than ten small wounds on her face, all of which were bleeding. It looked horrible.

Zhao Baozhu's heart suddenly sank, and her body swayed. It was over, it was over. Her face was ruined, her life was over, how could she still be a princess, how could she find a good husband!

In this era, women's survival chips are different from men's. Women rely on their family background and beauty. Even if she is a princess, her appearance cannot be too ugly, let alone disfigured. How can she get married?

Zhao Baozhu burst into tears, "My face! What should I do with my face?"

The tears fell on the wound, stinging her and making it hurt even more. Zhao Baozhu wanted to cry but didn't dare to, and her face was distorted.

Cui Hao stood aside, looking at Zhao Baozhu's face, feeling annoyed. Was he going to marry a disfigured princess? That would be too embarrassing. He wouldn't even be able to take her out.

In a flash, Cui Hao thought again that it would be better if the princess had her face disfigured. That way, no one would want her and she would have to marry him. Once she got married, she would be at their mercy. No matter her property or future, she would have to offer them to please him. As for women, wouldn't it be enough to take in a few more beautiful concubines?

Thinking of this, Cui Hao said in a gentle voice, "Princess, don't be afraid. We will return to the palace now and let the imperial physicians treat you. They are highly skilled and will definitely be able to heal your face."

His soft voice and gentle expression greatly soothed Zhao Baozhu's heart. Zhao Baozhu knew that it was Cui Hao who saved her just now. In broad daylight, the two of them hugged each other. It seemed that she had to marry Cui Hao.

Several thoughts flashed through Zhao Baozhu's mind. Although the Cui family was not rich, the Qinghe Cui family had always been noble, and Cui Haoren was handsome. Marrying such a man would not be a disgrace to her. As for wealth and glory, with her help after marriage, the Cui family would surely prosper.

A blush rose on Zhao Baozhu's face. She lowered her head and said shyly, "I'll listen to Mr. Cui."

A hint of smug smile flashed across Cui Hao's face, and he snorted in his heart. The so-called princesses were just like this. Before him was Princess Shanzhen Zhao Yuanqing, and after him was Princess Rongchang Zhao Baozhu. They usually looked unattainable, but they would come to him just by beckoning.

Cui Hao was disdainful in his heart, but his face was full of warmth. He held Zhao Baozhu's arm and said, "I will accompany the princess back to the palace."

"it is good."

When the two of them left the wing, they saw a crowd of people gathered in another area. Cui Hao asked, "What happened?"

"Mr. Cui, it's Princess Shanzhen. She's been rescued!"

When Cui Hao heard the name, his back and ankles ached terribly. He asked, "How is Princess Shanzhen?"

"He was soaked to the skin, unconscious, and had been carried into the house!"

Cui Hao nodded. Zhao Yuanqing was no longer useful to him, so he didn't need to worry about him anymore. His life or death had nothing to do with him anymore.

Zhao Baozhu hated Zhao Yuanqing so much. If she had fallen down obediently when she pulled Zhao Yuanqing, she wouldn't have been dragged into the water with her, and her face wouldn't have been damaged! Zhao Yuanqing was so cruel, and she even kicked her! God bless her, just let her die!

Zhao Baozhu wanted to go over and take a look, but Cui Hao persuaded her, "Princess, your face is more important. Let's go back to the palace for treatment first."

Cui Hao was extremely gentle, and Zhao Baozhu calmed down. "Okay."

The two of them sat in the carriage and returned to the palace together.

When Concubine Hui heard this, she immediately threw everything on the table and said, "Baozhu is so stupid! What kind of people are serving her? How could they let the princess suffer such a misfortune?"

Her personal palace maid said, "Your Majesty, ask later. The princess's face is the most important thing."

"Go and call all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to me!"

"Yes!"

All the imperial physicians on duty in the palace were called to Huifei's Yihua Palace to give Zhao Baozhu and Cui Hao thorough treatment.

"Doctor Zhou, how does Princess Rongchang look?"

"Your Majesty, the wound on the princess's face is not serious. As long as you take medicine in time, it will gradually heal. Remember to keep it away from water, don't wear makeup, and don't eat spicy or cold food."

"Will it leave scars?"

"Wait until the wound heals, then apply Danshen sheep fat ointment, and it may gradually disappear."

Concubine Hui was anxious. Face was too important for a woman. "Doctor Zhou, can it be restored to its original state?"

Doctor Zhou frowned in embarrassment. Who would dare to say such a thing? "We can only try to eliminate it. I cannot guarantee a complete recovery."

Concubine Hui wanted to get angry, but Doctor Zhou was the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, so she didn't dare to offend him. She could only suppress her anger and say, "Thank you, Doctor Zhou."

Doctor Zhou examined Cui Hao again, "Mr. Cui, the tendon in your right ankle is severely injured. If you don't get proper treatment, you'll have trouble walking."

Cui Hao was shocked. He thought it was just a simple cut, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. No wonder his foot hurt so much. "Please ask Doctor Zhou to save me."

"I'll do my best."

Doctor Zhou applied medicine to Cui Hao, wrapped him in a layer of fine cloth, and told him to take good care of his injuries and not to walk around, otherwise he would have problems walking in the future.

Concubine Hui watched from the side, her eyes twinkling as she said, "When you follow up with Mr. Cui, please ask Imperial Physician Zhou to come as well."

Doctor Zhou nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be polite. Young Master Cui will come back for a follow-up visit later, and I will go and see him."

Cui Hao was ecstatic. The treatment he received was indeed different after he got the princess. Princess Rongchang's reputation was affected, so she had no choice but to marry him. Concubine Hui loved her daughter and must treat him well. Hahahaha, he finally received this huge wealth.

He was young and couldn't hide his emotions. His eyes and eyebrows were full of pride. Concubine Hui looked at him and snorted in her heart.

After the treatment, Cui Hao was sent back home, and Concubine Hui decided to have a good talk with Zhao Baozhu.
