Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 766 - 633: The Time to Reclaim the Body Has Come
The Empress subconsciously grabbed with her hand.
In the sleeping chamber, the gentle Merfolk Pearl emitted a glow, and the Empress saw on her fair palm a clump of black hair, her hair.
The Empress’s heart panicked, and she quickly reached to her head again, finding the situation even more dire.
Her originally glossy black hair now felt like dry grass; just a touch, and a large amount kept falling off, making her hair thinner and thinner, which caused the Empress to become increasingly terrified.
The Empress had always cherished her appearance, especially her long hair.
For she knew deeply that when she was intimate with others, her long hair could make her skin appear even more white and flawless.
But now, her hair...
The Empress was petrified, almost rolling off the Dragon Couch, and rushed to the mirror.
In the mirror, the woman’s hair was almost all gone, her eyebrows and eyelashes gone without a trace.
Looking at the bald head, resembling an egg, and her prominent features in the mirror, the Empress screamed, her hands striking the mirror frantically.
The mirror shattered, and the beautiful hands of the Empress were bloodied by the shards.
"What happened, Your Majesty?"
Hearing the noise inside the sleeping chamber, the female officials rushed in.
Upon seeing the Empress’ appearance, several female officials screamed.
What they saw...
The Empress, bald, without eyebrows or eyelashes, her hands covered in blood, followed by a series of screams.
Several female officials felt a severe pain in their eyes simultaneously, their eyes gouged out, and blood-drenched eyeballs rolled onto the floor.
"Go, immediately fetch Chen Hongru." The Empress collapsed on the floor, covering her face, and began to sob.
However, what annoyed the Empress was that Chen Hongru was not in Dan Palace, but instead, his close maid, Xiao Qiang, came.
It turned out, for the upcoming World’s First Refining competition, Chen Hongru had gone out to search for materials, preparing to make Dan Palace shine in the final competition, and was not in the palace at this moment.
Ye Lingyue saw the Empress lying on the couch, although hiding her bald head with a quilt, her brow was devoid of even a single hair, which made Ye Lingyue feel very pleased.
The sabotage she planted in the Beauty Pill had finally taken effect.
"Your Majesty, this servant’s medical skills are humble, and I cannot diagnose the illness, please punish me," Ye Lingyue looked terrified.
The Empress, turned into this sight, even the Imperial Physician dared not be called.
Her primary suspicion was the Beauty Pill refined by Chen Hongru, yet when the Court Alchemist examined it, the ingredients of the Elixir Pills seemed to have no issues.
Hearing that Ye Lingyue had no solution, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
She would be getting married to Feng Lan in a few days, and now having turned into this, how could she face Feng Lan.
"However, this servant has a method that might be able to help Your Majesty." Hearing Ye Lingyue say this, a hint of hope appeared in the previously despairing eyes of the Empress.
More than an hour later, the Empress’ head sported a vividly lifelike wig.
The wig was made using the hair of several long-haired palace maids.
Making the wig for the Empress, however, was a Dan Palace maid named Xiao Wei.
She is Maid Xiao Qiang’s close sister. Xiao Wei, as Xiao Qiang said, is not only good at making wigs, but also proficient in crafting various exquisite makeup looks.
With the wig on and her eyebrows and eyes meticulously delineated, Empress Qing Shuang finally regained her beauty.
The Empress sighed in relief. She looked just like her old self.
"Do you go by Xiao Wei? You have quite the skilled hands, far surpassing those female officials of mine. It’s a pity that your talents are confined to the Dan Palace. Stay in the palace for the next few days. On the day of my grand wedding, you will help me with my makeup. Once Chen Hongru returns, I shall request him to make you one of my palace maids."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. But this method is only temporary. Once Master Hong Ru returns and determines the cause of Your Majesty’s ailment, I’m sure Your Majesty’s hair will grow back," Die Mei, residing in "Xiao Wei," sweet-talked the Empress in assurance.
Ye Lingyue, however, sneered.
The Empress’ hair would never grow back in this lifetime.
The potency in the Empress’ Beauty Pills had been increased three to four times by her. The excessive effectiveness of the Beauty Pills would only backfire, eventually draining the Empress’ beauty and accelerating her aging process—something neither the Imperial Physicians nor Alchemists could discover.
Chen Hongru would naturally uncover the truth if he inspected those Elixir Pills. However, those tampered Beauty Pills had already been secretly swapped by her.
The Empress still sat in front of the mirror, caressing her hair and face.
Ye Lingyue and Die Mei then exited.
"Master, everything has been done as you instructed. I applied some scale powder of the Dead Butterfly on the Empress’ hair. During this period, she’ll occasionally see various illusions. By the day of the grand wedding, she might be on the verge of collapse," Die Mei smirked.
She had heard about this Empress from Ye Lingyue.
Contemplating the fate that awaited her on her grand wedding day, Die Mei couldn’t help but weep a tear for her.
Die Mei finally understood why the old saying goes, "Better offend a villain than a woman."
"Master, let me handle the matters in the Imperial Palace. Today is already the sixth day. Considering the time, the Protective Golden Light on Xue Pianran has weakened considerably. Now is the best opportunity for you to reclaim your body. Be wary of Elder Ying. Although she doesn’t know your soul is still around, she will surely tighten the security around Xue Pianran these days," Die Mei said, most concerned about Ye Lingyue’s physical body.
Ye Lingyue nodded. After leaving the Imperial Palace, she went to seek the Earth Venerate.
Since the wedding news of Empress Qing Shuang and Feng Lan was made public, Earth Venerate’s calmness seemed a bit extreme.
She appeared normal, seemingly indifferent to Feng Lan’s impending marriage.
"Earth Venerate, don’t you care at all about Prince Feng’s wedding?"
"Feng Lan has his own temper. If he doesn’t wish to marry, no one can force him. If he decides to marry, what can stopping him accomplish? As of now, I am no different from a stranger to Feng Lan," Earth Venerate maintained her icy demeanor.
Although Qing Feng had died many years ago, it was still possible that some old acquaintances from Beiqing might recognize her.
Thus, these days, Earth Venerate always went out wearing a bamboo hat, concealing her beautiful facade.
Ye Lingyue felt helpless. She knew well that Feng Lan’s forgetfulness about Qing Feng was a thorn in Qing Feng’s heart.
For them to reconcile, it was essential to first restore Feng Lan’s memory, but curing Feng Lan’s memory loss wasn’t going to be quick.
"Don’t worry about me. Considering the days, it’s time for you to take back your body. I’ll find a way to distract Elder Ying," Earth Venerate forced a smile and went with Ye Lingyue to the Dan Palace.
In the room, on the Dragon Couch, "Ye Lingyue" still lay there.
The Protective Golden Light on "Ye Lingyue"’s body had weakened considerably compared to the previous days.
Elder Ying anxiously waited by the side.
