039: turned into an old woman

Nan Li's eyes lit up, "That's just right. Your Majesty, you'd better take it back quickly and give it to the woman you like."

How can she occupy a magpie's nest?

Ye Siheng didn't reach out to take it, so Nan Li stuffed the red gold token into his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving."

Qingfeng was so angry that he wanted to stop Nan Li from leaving, but was stopped by Yesi Heng.

He lowered his eyes, which became darker and darker.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"She doesn't have this intention. I have misunderstood. Let's go back home." Ye Siheng's voice returned to calmness.

Qingfeng gritted his teeth and could only obey his orders.

——

Cold palace.

Li has been detained here for two days.

Even on a hot summer day, it is difficult to resist the coldness here.

The meals sent by the palace servants were no longer delicacies, but cold rice scraps, which Li could not swallow at all.

The night is calm.

The door creaked.

Li, who was weak, raised his head, saw the figure in the backlight, and squinted his eyes, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... you finally came to see me..."

She quickly stood up and straightened her appearance.

She knew that the emperor would not ignore her.

The man entered the room and sneered: "The ministers came to see you at the court meeting, and even the emperor scolded you. The emperor is so worried, why did he come to see you?"

It's a woman.

Ms. Li was stunned. There was not even a candlelight in the room. She relied on the voice to figure out who was coming after a while.

She rushed over, "It's you! It's you who hurt me!"

The woman pushed her away. Mrs. Li had been hungry for several days and fell down as soon as she pushed her.

"My concubine, I just gave you a scroll of ancient books. You want to refine and use this beauty elixir yourself. What does it have to do with me." The woman sneered coldly, "No, you are no longer a high-ranking concubine. You

He has been demoted to a commoner."

Ms. Li gasped lowly and stared at the woman hatefully: "You instigated me. Otherwise, how could I...how could I have done such a thing."

"No one is forcing you to do this. It's you who want to keep your appearance and your glory." The woman snorted coldly, "I'm here today just to prevent you from having the chance to sue me."

Li was horrified, "You dare to kill me? The emperor loves me so much, he will never let you go!"

"Love you? Are you afraid you don't know what you have become now?" The woman shouted, and two palace maids pushed the door open and entered.

One person holds a candle and the other person holds a bronze mirror.

They walked straight to Mr. Li and asked Mr. Li to take a good look at her current appearance.

Li loves looking in the mirror most, because she looks ageless and like a girl.

But who is the person in the mirror now?

Her face is covered with wrinkles and her hair is half white, making her look like an old woman.

"Ah -" Mrs. Li pushed away the bronze mirror and covered her face, "My face...how could my face be like this? Come on, I want to take elixirs, I want to take elixirs!"

The woman smiled and said: "Ms. Li, you have been taking the Beauty Pill for many years. Once you stop taking it, it will only accelerate your aging. Even the gods will not be able to save you. Take a good look, this is your original appearance."

"No! This palace doesn't look like this!" Mrs. Li shouted, almost crazy, shouting with teeth and claws, and then started to giggle again, asking the palace maid to dress her up quickly. The emperor was coming, so she had to dress up quickly.

Pick up.

The woman stared at her for a long time and said, "I'm so frightened that I'm so ugly."

The palace maid asked: "Is that killing or..."

"Let her live like this." The woman said, then turned and left.

Li's giggles kept ringing behind her.

——

The news that Mrs. Li had become old, ugly, and even crazy spread throughout the palace the next day.

As soon as Xie Beihan came out of the palace, he went to the Anyang Marquis Mansion without stopping to tell the story.

"Sixth sister, Mrs. Li has only been in the cold palace for two or three days, and her appearance has changed so much. That Zhuyan Pill is really evil."

"That's right, the Beauty Pill is made by extracting human blood energy. Once the medicine is discontinued, it will accelerate aging tenfold." Nan Li said, "You will become older and uglier than before."

Xie Beihan sighed for a while.

Although the Qingguo Duke's mansion was raided, the happy events of the Chu family and the Xiao family still had to be held.

The whole house was filled with joy and red.

Chu Shuo loves to hold happy events the most, because in this way, he and Aunt Qian have an excuse to give everyone something and make a new set of clothes.

Naturally, Nanli also has it, and there are more than one set.

Chu Shuo sent it to Nan Li and wanted her to try it out and modify it if it didn't fit.

Seeing Xie Beihan let Yuerongge come closer again, he rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you here again? I don't know, I thought this is your home and you are Ali's biological brother."

Xie Beihan chuckled and said: "We are so good that two people can wear the same pair of pants. Why do you still care about this? Why don't you let someone make me a new set of clothes?"

"Your Zhenbei Hou Mansion has a lot of money, and you still want to extort my money. There's no way." Chu Shuo said angrily.

Even though she said this, the embroiderer still brought a new set of robes and asked Xie Beihan to try them on.

Xie Beihan's clothes are all made in Aunt Qian's shop, so the sizes are naturally available.

Nan Li also tried on clothes, but her waist needed to be changed.

When she saw the two of them coming together, they kept chatting and making a lot of noise, so she took the newly refined elixir and went to the second room.

Since the last time Nan Li rescued Chu Nanying, Chu Hanming's attitude towards her has changed greatly. When he saw her, he smiled and said: "Li'er is here, Ying'er was just thinking about you."

Although the Qi-nourishing pills Chu Nanying had taken earlier hurt her body, Nan Li came here for several days to give her special acupuncture, coupled with walking and dietary therapy, Chu Nanying's health improved greatly, and some blood could be seen on her face.

Already.

"Second uncle." Nan Li nodded, and then entered Chu Nanying's boudoir.

Chu Nanying now dresses neatly every day so that she can go out for a walk. When she saw her cousin coming, she beamed: "Sixth sister, you are here!"

"Well, I'm here to give you the elixir." Nan Li sat down and still wanted to give Chu Nanying a safe pulse.

Seeing that her cousin didn't have any unusual behavior and only told her to take her medicine on time, Chu Nanying rolled her big eyes and said, "When eldest brother gets married, can I go out and watch the excitement?"

Chu Hanming refused without thinking: "No, there were too many people at that time."

Chu Nanying lowered her eyes, feeling very disappointed.

"Seventh sister's health has improved a lot, and it will be good for her condition to join in the fun," Nan Li said.

It would be surprising if his condition would improve after being cooped up in a four-dimensional world all day long.

Chu Hanming then thought about it and said, "I'm afraid the maid won't be too diligent. Li'er, you have to help take care of her when the time comes."

He has to help his eldest brother socialize, and he can't keep his eyes on his daughter.

Nan Li thought that she didn't know anyone in Beijing and was very free, so she nodded and agreed.
