Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 572

Could someone be trying to harm her?

Jiang Yunwan began to suspect everything: whether the lion cat's paws had been poisoned, whether the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital was faulty, and whether the palace servants in Changchun Palace, especially the maids who served her personally, had tampered with her while treating her wounds...

But this search is just too difficult. The lion cat has already been caught and killed, and its body has long been thrown out of the palace. Now, there's simply no idea where to find it.

As for the Imperial Hospital and Changchun Palace, they could investigate, but only discreetly, not openly. This was because Jiang Yunwan dared not let outsiders know she was injured, especially not Huo Tingsheng.

Her face was a terrible sight; the wounds were so bad that just looking at them made it impossible to eat.

Huo Tingsheng had just regained some of his affection for her because she had regained her youthful beauty. She absolutely could not let him see her like this, or she would be finished!

Two days ago, when Huo Tingsheng came to Changchun Palace, she claimed to be sick and said she was afraid of catching the virus, so she stayed inside and dared not see Huo Tingsheng.

Jiang Yunwan now finds everyone suspicious. She's replaced her maids under various pretexts and dares not use the medicines from the Imperial Hospital anymore. She even eats her meals with trepidation, wondering if someone has tampered with them, causing her wounds to worsen...

In short, people are seeing ghosts everywhere and are filled with anxiety.

Furthermore, she watched helplessly as the ulcers on her face worsened day by day, eventually turning into a bloody, mangled pit. Her once most prized beauty had become such a disgusting and terrifying sight.

The dual torment of physical and psychological suffering caused her increasing pain and breakdown. She could not eat, could not sleep, and tossed and turned all night, unable to even cry.

In just over ten days, she lost a lot of weight and a lot of gray hair appeared.

The Fourth Prince already knew about Jiang Yunwan's facial injury and was extremely anxious. He couldn't care less about his rivalry with the Third Prince and focused all his efforts on helping Jiang Yunwan.

Since the Imperial Medical Academy dared not use the medicines, the Fourth Prince secretly found a renowned doctor from outside the palace and brought him into the palace to treat Jiang Yunwan.

I've tried many medications, both oral and topical, but nothing has worked.

Jiang Yunwan's face was so badly injured that the bone was visible, and she was unrecognizable. You could smell the stench of decay from a great distance.

He was on the verge of madness and despair, and tried to commit suicide several times, but was stopped each time.

The Fourth Prince was also in a state of great distress. Jiang Yunwan's condition was not a good thing. She was currently using illness as an excuse to stay at home, but as the Empress, she couldn't remain unseen indefinitely.

The Fourth Prince racked his brains for a solution and finally remembered Huo Jinghuai. It was Huo Jinghuai who had given him the prescription for the Peach and Plum Blossom Dew, and he had scoured the entire Naihe Mountain, so he might have other miraculous medicines in his possession.

The Fourth Prince went to the Seventh Prince's residence to find "Huo Jinghuai" and explained Jiang Yunwan's situation to him.

"...Seventh Brother, do you have any ideas?"

The fourth prince is now desperate and has no time to keep it a secret.

Huo Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have any suitable medicine here, but I do have an emergency method. When I went south on an inspection tour before, I met a master of disguise in the martial arts world. I can ask her to make a mask for my mother. She can wear it when she needs to see people, which can at least cover her wounds. However, this is only a temporary solution and does not cure the root cause.”

At this point, the Fourth Prince didn't care about merely treating the symptoms and not the root cause; as long as there was a solution, that was fine.

"Alright! Since Mother cannot leave the palace, then I'll trouble you to invite that master of disguise to come. I'll bring her into the palace to see Mother. The reward is negotiable!"
