Chapter 871: Chapter 869: Face Swap
“Mu Yan, apologize to your imperial grandmother at once!”
Qin Ge walked up to his side and gave him a hard pat.
Qin Muyan flipped his robe and knelt down, yet remained completely silent, as if engaging in a silent protest.
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and no longer paid any attention to Qin Muyan.
Qin Ge shook his head discreetly at Qin Muyan and followed the Empress Dowager away.
When Mu Fei left, he gave Qin Muyan’s retreating figure a mischievous curl of his lips.
After regaining consciousness, Shen Yu sent for him.
Once Mu Fei arrived in Shen Yu’s chamber, she immediately asked, eager and impatient, “Well? Has Su Yingxue been captured?”
She was too agitated, aggravating the wound on her back, and the entire person let out a scream of pain, “Ah! It hurts so much!”
Mu Fei shook his fan and laughed coldly, “If you hadn’t fallen so convincingly, how would the Empress Dowager believe that Su Yingxue harmed you, and why would she capture her?”
Shen Yu was in so much pain that she felt as if her bones were falling apart, almost convinced that she was truly about to die, that she would not make it.
She clenched her teeth in anger, “Did the Empress Dowager capture her or not? When will she execute her?”
She had almost lost her life framing Su Yingxue; if Su Yingxue didn’t die, wouldn’t her fall have been in vain?
Mu Fei told her in a leisurely manner, “Su Yingxue has been captured, but it was Qin Muyan who took her. Right now, he has placed Su Yingxue in the imperial prison but has assigned his trusted aides to guard her. No one can touch Su Yingxue; hence, there’s still much for you to do.”
Shen Yu gnashed her teeth in irritation, “Why! Why does my cousin favor Su Yingxue so much! What does Su Yingxue have that earns his favoritism!”
Qin Muyan wouldn’t even spare her an extra glance, even though she and Su Yingxue looked identical, both born with equal beauty!
Why does Su Yingxue have what she doesn’t?
“Because your face still needs to change.”
Mu Fei used the edge of his fan to lift Shen Yu’s face. Indeed, this face bore some resemblance to Su Yingxue’s, and it could be considered somewhat attractive. Compared to Qin Zheng, however, it was far inferior.
The blood ties between Su Yingxue and Qin Zheng were almost unquestionable; that face was the best proof.
Shen Yu frowned in confusion, “My face still needs to change? Can faces be changed at will?”
Even Shen Yu had never heard of such a thing in the Great Wei Imperial Palace.
“Naturally, it can be changed, but it is somewhat painful.”
Mu Fei’s mouth quirked up at the corner in a sinister smile as an ominous air spread across his entire face.
He dismissed all the attendants from Funing Palace, performing the facial transformation alone for Shen Yu. Throughout the process, Shen Yu was in so much pain that she dared not even cry out loud.
Because Mu Fei reminded her that if she attracted attention and was discovered, she would be walking a path to her own death.
Now that she and Mu Fei were in the same boat, she had no choice but to follow his lead.
However, she attributed all the excruciating pain she was enduring to Su Yingxue’s account!
It was all her fault!
Why did she have to appear in the Great Wei? Why did she have to compete with her for the identity of the princess in the Great Wei Dynasty?
Had she not appeared, how could she possibly suffer like this?
It was all Su Yingxue who caused her harm!
Shen Yu bore the agony of flesh and bone being torn apart, biting down hard on her teeth, “Su Yingxue, I will make sure you never recover!”
She must die!
Two hours later, Mu Fei washed his hands in a copper basin; it was already the fourteenth or fifteenth basin of bloodied water. After cleaning his hands, he told Shen Yu, “No one must see your face for the next three days. Wait for me to remove the stitches, and by then, you will have a face identical to that of Eldest Princess Qin Zheng.”
