Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 478: Restored Beauty! Declaration of War!
Lingjiang Imperial Mansion, rear garden.
This mansion is newly built, the air still carries a slight scent of new materials, and various flowers and saplings are planted in the garden. With June’s blossoms, the fragrance is thick, nearly overwhelming this rear garden.
A bright figure slowly walks from one side, a long skirt trailing behind her. The scorching sun makes the skirt appear like gauze, blurring this colorful garden.
The woman wears a silver mask covering half her face. Her gaze is cold, aimlessly scanning everything here.
"My lady, this mansion was supposed to be built years ago, but since you requested to go to Jiangling, it went unused. Now that you’re back, it’s unexpectedly completed, showing that the Emperor still has thoughts of you."
The speaker is the personal official, Nanny Lin, beside the Princess Consort, who has been with her for thirty years with deep affection.
She sincerely hopes to see her lady live a good life.
And a good life means being mother of all under heaven!
Years ago, she nearly reached this goal, but that Queen Qiao’s ruthless methods disfigured her...
My lady, proud and lofty, didn’t want her beloved man to see her hideous appearance, so she left the Capital City in despair.
But before leaving, she clung to the last shred of hope, telling him the truth, longing for the real culprit to be punished!
However, that emperor upon high let her down. In deep dismay, since then, she never spoke of the matters in the Capital City.
Unexpectedly, after twenty-five years, she has returned once more!
Moreover, it was by the decree of the Emperor himself.
Like waking from a dream!
"Consort Li... this title is no longer fitting for me!"
She slowly lifted her head, her cold gaze piercing through the thick sea of flowers toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.
With her current ghostly appearance, even with her return, it is of no use. That Emperor will meet her again? No, not even once.
Still disheartened.
Yet, there is always a moment of hopeful spark.
Son, Jun Lian!
For him, she can do anything!
Even if it means returning to this place that caused her heartache, sorrow, hatred, and despair!
"My lady, a eunuch has come from outside."
At this moment, a person in black swiftly entered, kneeling on one knee, reporting.
"Speak!"
Nanny Lin spoke, as my lady seldom spoke, prompting her to speak on her behalf.
The person in black said, "It is the Chief Eunuch by the Emperor’s side, Chen Du Zhi. It seems he has come to deliver a decree, but he didn’t come directly. He asked whether you want to receive the decree?"
The Emperor actually wants to consult her opinion?
This is truly an honor. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Consort Li said indifferently, "Since it’s Chen Du Zhi, let him come in! It has been a long time since I last saw him."
Consort Li slowly turned and went to the front courtyard.
She met Chen Zhong in the courtyard before the main hall, Chen Zhong’s face full of smiles, appearing kind and amiable.
"Where is the decree?"
Nanny Lin scrutinized Chen Zhong, not seeing any decrees on him?
Chen Zhong chuckled, "Lady, His Majesty remembers your hardships outside over the years and your capable raising of the prince. He specifically found a prescription for you, sought out a divine medicine to restore you to perfection!"
"I, your humble concubine, thank His Majesty for his graciousness!"
"Lady Li Fei, this was specifically developed by Mr. Duanmu at His Majesty’s request. Do not let His Majesty’s kind intentions be in vain!"
"Good, thank you Eunuch Chen. Someone, escort Eunuch Chen."
"Lady, such courtesy! Perhaps soon, we can meet again in the palace!"
A very significant signal, expressing goodwill.
Nanny Lin personally escorted Chen Zhong out, returning with tears streaming down her face, "Lady, you’ve... finally waited for this day!"
She sobbed, soon lost to tears, directly kneeling.
Consort Li was numb, not knowing how to respond.
Qi Yun personally sought medicine to restore her appearance, why does this seem so fantastical?
Will he really be so kind?
No, no, there must be a plot.
She grabbed the medicine packet Chen Zhong left on the table, wanting to throw it away, but in the end, she let go, a stream of tears rolling down.
This man, whom she has loved for decades, you finally choose to believe me, ah, sobbing... haha...
In the following period, Consort Li did not leave her room, staying wrapped up within.
The ointment specially made by Duanmu Nan was truly effective. Just the first day of applying it, she could feel the burning pain on her face diminishing.
This medicine is different, completely unlike the ointment used before.
If once she didn’t know Duanmu Nan’s medical prowess, why could he not heal her face, now she knows.
With the "Curse of the emperor on the altar," this old case revealed, she received information here. In this way, many strange matters can be resolved.
It turns out it wasn’t impossible to heal, merely that others didn’t want to heal you.
Consort Li was truly moved, knowing that this box of medicine was hard to come by, unclear what conditions the Emperor had bargained for? Her heart stirred, tears began sliding down.
"Lady, be careful not to dirty the ointment, this thing is very precious!"
Nanny Lin genuinely was happy for her, seeing tears gathering at her eyes, quickly reminding her.
Consort Li gently nodded, looking at herself in the copper mirror, with bandages covering her face, yet she seemed to see through them, seeing her absolutely beautiful visage.
"Mother Consort, a lot of things have been sent from Father Emperor’s side, do you want to take a look?"
Outside came Qi Junlian’s slightly hoarse voice, Consort Li quickly stood up, smiling, "Things from His Majesty? Good, good, I’ll go see."
Qi Junlian watched his revitalized mother’s step, involuntarily smiling softly.
It turns out, the shifting of love and hate can be so swift!
Duanmu Nan’s ointment was indeed effective, Consort Li followed the instructions for use, half a month later removing the bandages on her face.
Seeing herself in the mirror, she nearly couldn’t believe it.
This... is this truly her?
Not only has her appearance been restored exactly to how it was, but even more fair and supple, even surpassing that of a youthful maiden!
Now, she truly deserves the title "Consort Li"!
"Congratulations, my lady, felicitations, congratulations on restoring your youthful appearance, radiant and dazzling, competing with the bright moon!"
Nanny Lin bowed, joyful in expression.
This phrase "competing with the bright moon" originates from Long Yue.
Long Yue reportedly used this phrase to mock Yu Pin previously, to shame her, now, Nanny Lin deliberately uses it to challenge the harem’s chief!
That vicious woman securely sitting as Empress back then caused harm through undermining tactics, now, they will reclaim everything lost step by step!
"Competing with the bright moon? Lady Jiao truly deserves her name, this saying, is very apt!"
