Novel Full Chapter 192
Emperor Lin was in a good mood. He spent lunch with her and enjoyed many things. After the meal, the Consort Mei suggested, “Your Majesty, the weather is really good today. Would you like this Consort to accompany Your Majesty to enjoy the view of the flowers?”
And how could Emperor Lin be unwilling to do so? He immediately pulled the soft and supple hand of his beloved consort and guided her out.
The weather was indeed very good today as the sky was a shade of azure and remained cloudless. Unblocked by any form of obstacles, the sunlight that shone down rested on their skins, forming some sort of warm and fuzzy feeling upon contact.
The two of them admired the flowers and laughed as they strolled. Consort Mei had also played with some butterflies. With her enchanting figure and her beautiful laughter, Emperor Lin had completely forgotten her stretched feet incident.
After playing around for a bit, the Emperor Lin realised: Hey, why are there so many red bumps on my beloved Consort’s fair face?
At first, he thought that he was seeing things, but when Consort Mei stopped after she finished playing with the butterflies, he approached her to have a closer look. Upon sight, his pupils dilated in surprise.
The fair and tender face of Consort Mei that he had seen this morning was suddenly covered with dense red bumps. There were deep, shallow, large and small bumps all over; anyone with Trypophobia would all run away. With just a glance, Emperor Lin already felt nauseous.
This was even more unbearable than her initial foot odor!
Consort Mei looked at the expression of Emperor Lin and felt slightly hurt in her heart. However, she didn’t know what had happened. So, she hesitated to ask, “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
Until Xixiang, who was next to her, shouted out in panic, “Consort! Your face!”
Consort Mei froze for a moment before she felt her fingers tremble as she touched her face. She didn’t feel any pain at all, but she could feel the dense lumps on her face. Out of fear, she screamed and almost fainted on the spot.
Emperor Lin immediately ordered the palace servants to take her back to the Yinshuang Palace and summoned an Imperial doctor for her. However, he hurried back to the Yangxin Palace, not even wanting another glance of the face that would make him dream of nightmares.
The Imperial doctor quickly went to the Yinshuang Palace. After the consultation, the doctor asked about her recent food consumption and external uses. After Consort Mei came back and took a look in the mirror, her whole body collapsed and she couldn’t stop crying. It was then Xixiang suddenly remembered something and led the Imperial doctor to see that large, white flower.
The Imperial doctor didn’t recognize the flower, so he took a section and put it in his medicine box, saying that he would go back to study it. This symptom was unheard of before, so the Imperial doctor could only temporarily prescribe some medicine for Consort Mei before he retreated.
For the next two days, Consort Mei was bedridden. She took the medicine and applied some cream, but the red bumps on her face did not disappear at all.
The doctors of the Imperial Hospital collectively studied the large white flower, but they did not find any famous incidents leading to it. All they could do was conclude that the flower is poisonous.
After reporting it to Emperor Lin, he was stunned and asked inconceivably, “Is she crazy? Why would she ever use an unknown substance to smear over her face with it?”
Imperial doctor, “…”
When Consort Mei learned that the flower was actually poisonous, she collapsed again. Secrets could not be kept in the Palace, so the news of Consort Mei’s disfigured face due to the poisonous flower spreaded quickly. After hearing this, everyone had similar responses like the Emperor Lin. Was she crazy?!
