Chapter 468: The No.5 Scholar's Wife
The next day, a maid in pink came in with water, and another maid in purple had just lifted the bed curtain to call An Ning'er to get up.
Suddenly, the maid in purple screamed, which scared the maid in pink as well. She hurried over to see what was going on.
The scream woke An Ning'er up, and she looked at her maid with great displeasure.
As a result, the maid in pink who had just arrived screamed in fright when she saw An Ning'er's face.
"Miss, your face..." the maid in pink spoke tremblingly.
When An Ning'er heard what the maid said, she felt something was wrong and subconsciously touched her face. Not only did she feel a sticky touch, but she also felt a tingling pain.
She immediately yelled, "Give me a mirror."
The maid gave her a mirror. She took it and saw that her face was red, yellow and white.
Those blood marks were clearly caused by her scratching herself. There were traces inside her fingernails, and the white and yellow ones were clearly pus.
Meng Zhengtang went to court early in the morning and didn't notice her face at all.
This is also the only thing that An Ning'er feels comforted by.
He hurriedly called the court physician, and the doctor was also shocked when he saw An Ning'er's face.
But he looked at it for a long time but couldn't find the cause of the disease.
However, he still prescribed some anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory medicine.
An Ning'er values her face the most and would not allow any scars to appear, so she repeatedly asks the court doctor to make sure the disease is cured.
She applied a layer of medicine on her face and did not dare to let Meng Zhengtang see her current appearance, so she asked the maid to tell Meng Zhengtang that she had caught a cold and it was not appropriate for them to live in the same room.
Meng Zhengtang was naturally very worried, and found it a little strange when he saw An Ning'er with a cloth covering her face.
However, he still expressed some concern and pretended to be considerate before leaving.
An Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief and just wanted her face to get better soon.
Fu Qi didn't want An Ning'er to come and jump around in front of him, so he had to find something for her to do.
She cared about Meng Zhengtang and naturally hoped that Meng Zhengtang only had her in his heart, so she could never let Meng Zhengtang see her current appearance.
However, only Fu Qi can cure her face. After all, it was the medicine she prepared. It depends on when An Ning'er will come to her for help.
The story "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" that Fu Qi had taught to the storyteller had already spread to the capital.
Fu Qi had already changed the plot before, and it was a metaphor for Meng Zhengtang.
As long as you know a little about Meng Zhengtang, you will find that this seems to be a deliberate allusion to the top scholar.
Some people who are not on good terms with the prime minister have already begun investigating Meng Zhengtang's background.
For this kind of thing, Fu Qi would naturally choose to send the message out. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Now the news that the new top scholar abandoned his wife and married another woman spread.
An Ning'er had been hiding in her room and had no idea what was going on outside, and the maid was afraid that she would get angry so she didn't dare tell her about the rumors.
So An Ning'er didn't tell anyone that Doctor He was Meng Zhengtang's wife, but it turned out to be a coincidence.
Meng Zhengtang didn't expect that his affairs would be known to others, but he couldn't admit it.
He had already sent someone back to divorce his wife, and he needed to do things perfectly so as not to be criticized.
Thinking about being scolded by my father-in-law today, I felt angry.
I don’t know where He Yue and the others went. They actually harmed him like this. They are indeed not presentable enough.
He cannot lose everything he has now, and anyone who stands in his way must die.
Fu Qi has been introduced by the Third Prince and is about to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
