The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Yun Jin scoffed, "Coward."

She took out a sleeping pill, first knocked her unconscious, then took out a small medicine bottle, poured out a pill, pried open Ya Min's mouth and fed it to her.

This was specially prepared for Ya Min; it was a slow-acting poison that could kill her without her even realizing it.

I didn't want it to be a fight to the death, but since you're trying to kill me, if I keep tolerating it, I'll be wasting my amazing medical and poison skills.

She then wrapped Yamin in a blanket and threw her into the space.

Then she went to Xiao Ya's and Gao Shan's rooms separately, and did the same thing, pretending to be a ghost to seduce the two of them until they fainted, but she didn't give them the pill.

If three people exhibit the same symptoms, it's highly suspicious.

Next, Yun Jin evaded the guards from the previous night and arrived at the manor's garden. She took the three people out of the space and threw them into the garden.

Although the flowers are all bare in winter, the snow-covered landscape has a unique charm.

She was quite kind; she even left each of them a blanket. Her goal wasn't to freeze them to death; it wouldn't be good for them to die like that.

Then Yun Jin quietly left Ya Min's hot spring resort and headed towards the city.

In the garden, Xiao Ya was the first to wake up. She was the last of the three to faint from fright. Yun Jin hadn't used any sleeping pills on her, so she woke up the earliest. She was awakened by the cold.

She opened her eyes groggily and found herself outdoors, but she didn't know where she was.

The surroundings were pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

She was terrified and sat bolt upright. She remembered sleeping soundly when the White Impermanence suddenly appeared before her, saying he would take her away, and then she remembered nothing more. She tentatively called out, "Is anyone there?"

No one answered her.

She mustered her courage and shouted loudly, "Help! Help!"

The sound echoed in the empty garden, but no one responded.

Terrified, she burst into tears and scrambled forward, groping her way. Suddenly, her fingers touched something soft and squishy, ​​like a person.

Not knowing whether it was alive or dead, she screamed in terror, "Ah!!"

She jerked her hand back and scrambled backward, only to find herself touching a soft body behind her. Terrified, she screamed, her scream piercing the night: "Ah! Ah! Help!"

The guards were finally alerted and ran over with torches, their light illuminating the garden.

Xiao Ya knelt to the side, trembling all over, pointing at the person on the ground, unable to speak.

"It's the princess! It's Miss Gao!"

The guards exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to check their breaths. "They're still breathing, they're still alive!" The torchlight flickered in the night, illuminating Ya Min and Gao Shan's bloodless faces.

The guards hurriedly woke Ya Min and Gao Shan up, pinching their philtrum and pouring hot water into their mouths. It took them quite a while to slowly regain consciousness.

Yamin opened her eyes and saw herself lying in the snow, her lips frozen purple, her whole body shivering like a leaf.

She remembered the White Impermanence standing by her bedside before she lost consciousness, saying he would take her away; she remembered the cold, slippery silk ribbon wrapped around her neck. She immediately screamed, "I won't go! I didn't hurt anyone!"

"Princess, are you alright?" the guard asked cautiously.

Yamin just shook her head frantically, muttering repeatedly, "Ghost...there's a ghost..."

Xiao Ya and Gao Shan were also quite frightened. The three of them wrapped themselves in blankets and were helped back into the room. The three of them dared not separate, so the guards had to call their respective maids to help them wash up and get dressed.

The three of them stayed inside for a long time, still trembling all over. Ya Min didn't want to stay there for another second.

The three packed their things overnight and returned to the city.

After a freezing and frightening night, all three of them fell ill upon returning to the city.

Yamin developed a high fever and became delirious, repeatedly shouting "There's a ghost!" and "Don't catch me!"

The eldest princess summoned the imperial physician, who said that Ya Min had caught a cold and been frightened, and prescribed a calming medicine. However, Ya Min did not get better after taking the medicine. She had a fever for three or four days, and she lost a lot of weight. Her eyes became deeply sunken, and her complexion was sallow. She did not get better.

Xiao Ya and Gao Shan were in no better shape; both were bedridden and unable to get out of bed.

When the elders in the family pressed them to tell what had happened, all three of them said they had seen the White Impermanence, but the family members thought they were having a nightmare.

Despite her daughter's disheveled state, the princess still ordered the news to be kept under wraps, claiming that the White Impermanence was seeking revenge. Who would believe such a statement?

Meanwhile, Yun Jin had already taken advantage of the night to ride her horse into the city, to the First Prince's residence, and quietly sneaked into the courtyard where Consort Zheng lived.

Consort Zheng was sleeping soundly, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Yun Jin took out a small paper packet from her sleeve, opened it, and inside was her specially made medicinal powder. She gently blew on Consort Zheng's face, and the powder sprinkled on her face, instantly disappearing without a trace.

Consort Zheng scratched her face in her sleep, turned over, and fell back into a deep sleep.

Yun Jin put away the paper package, turned around, and disappeared into the night.

The next morning.

The eldest prince woke up from his sleep and habitually turned to look at the person beside him. He then exclaimed in surprise, "Who's there?"

Then he kicked Consort Zheng to the ground.

Consort Zheng fell to the ground, feigning annoyance, "Your Highness, it's me! What's wrong?"

The eldest prince opened his mouth, pointed at her face, and said in a trembling voice, "You...your face..."

Consort Zheng was startled and subconsciously reached out to touch it. Her fingers touched her cheek and found it bumpy and itchy. She scrambled to her feet, rushed to the dressing table, and picked up the bronze mirror to take a look.

The person in the mirror had a face covered in red rashes and looked extremely ugly; she couldn't even recognize herself.

She screamed, and the bronze mirror shattered on the ground with a crash. She covered her face, trembling all over: "My face! What happened to my face?!"

Hearing the commotion, the maid outside hurriedly pushed open the door and came in. When she saw Consort Zheng's appearance, she screamed in fright.

"What are you yelling about!" Consort Zheng shouted sternly. "Go and fetch the imperial physician! Go now!"

The maidservant scrambled out of the room.

The eldest prince had recovered from his initial shock, put on his clothes, got out of bed, frowned at Consort Zheng, and looked at her with a hint of disdain.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and said softly, "Perhaps I ate something bad and developed a rash. Let the imperial physician take a look and prescribe some medicine, and I'll be fine. I'm going to court now."

After saying that, he put on his coat, turned around, and walked out.

Consort Zheng, oblivious to his change in demeanor, continued to weep, covering her face: "Your Highness, if my face is ruined, I will not live..."

The eldest prince offered a few more words of comfort, then excused himself to attend court and hurriedly left.

Once outside the courtyard gate, he let out a long breath; it was terrifying.

Even the most beautiful woman loses her beauty when her face is covered in red rashes.

The imperial physician arrived quickly, took her pulse, and said it was probably an allergic reaction to something she ate. He carefully questioned the servants around Consort Zheng, who said it was something she usually ate.

The imperial physician didn't know the specific cause either, so he could only prescribe medicine to clear heat and detoxify, instructing Consort Zheng to take it internally and apply it externally, saying he would observe the effects first.

Consort Zheng looked in the mirror at her disfigured face, gritting her teeth in hatred. She swept all the rouge and powder from the table to the floor, and said through gritted teeth:

"It can't be an allergy, someone must be trying to sabotage me! Get me checked!"
