Long Xinghe's face was covered in deep, extensive scars.
Feng Wuya did not want to touch them, not out of disgust, but for fear of hurting her.
Thus, as he wiped her face, he was exceedingly careful.
However, having never served anyone before, even though he tried his best to avoid the scars, he still brushed against some of them.
Inadvertently, he seemed to notice the edge of a scar was raised.
It looked… as if it could be peeled off?
He turned to look at Chu Qianli, his heart filled with shock. "A'li, why are these scars…"
"The scars on her face are caused by toxin accumulation. I gave her medicine earlier, and the toxins in her body should be almost cleared."
"As for the toxins on her face, the method of expulsion is to force all the toxins to the scars. Finally, the scars will fall off, and her original appearance will be restored."
"So, you mean, her scars are about to fall off now?"
Feng Wuya was somewhat excited, excited for her.
While a face wouldn't make a huge difference to him, if her face healed, Long Xinghe's mood would surely improve.
Thinking of her being happy inexplicably made him happy too.
"Look at you now, you still say you have no feelings for her."
Chu Qianli shrugged and smiled. "Wipe away her scars carefully. It's about time."
Feng Wuya said nothing, his mood was excellent, so even being teased by Chu Qianli didn't bother him.
He continued, carefully wiping away Long Xinghe's scars.
Her face gradually regained its original complexion.
In truth, she wasn't exceptionally beautiful, especially with Chu Qianli's radiance preceding her. Any girl would pale in comparison.
But Long Xinghe's charm wasn't in her looks.
This woman was truly special…
Chu Qianli left the room, giving them space.
As she walked out of the room, her mood was still somewhat complex.
Wuya had finally found a girl he liked, much like one's own child finally growing up.
Finally, she felt at ease.
As soon as she returned to her chambers, Fu Ning immediately followed. "Miss, Shi Yi is here."
"Let him in to speak."
…When Gan Shi Yi entered, his expression was rather grave.
"News has arrived from Long Teng Kingdom."
He looked at Chu Qianli, seemingly hesitant.
Chu Qianli said lightly, "If you're afraid to even speak the news, what use are you?"
"Boss…" Shi Yi sighed deeply. "This news… is a devastating disaster for you."
"Rest assured, as long as I am alive, I cannot be utterly destroyed."
Chu Qianli's heart suddenly sank.
As an intelligence operative, Shi Yi would never use exaggerated words.
She knew something extremely bad must have happened.
Something that was shocking and difficult to accept.
What she feared most was that someone close to her… had met with misfortune.
She clenched her palm secretly. "Speak quickly."
Fu Ning, standing by, was also anxious. "Shi Yi, what exactly happened in Long Teng Kingdom? Hurry up and tell us!"
His expression was so solemn, it must be something major.
To withhold such information was highly unprofessional and made people incredibly anxious.
"Did Zi Yue get into trouble?" Fu Ning worried even more.
"How could Long Ziyue possibly be in trouble? She's doing very well right now!"
Unexpectedly, when Zi Yue was mentioned, Shi Yi’s face was filled with resentment.
They were two people who had never met, yet now, Shi Yi looked at Long Ziyue as if she were an enemy!
Shi Yi took a deep breath before looking at Chu Qianli. "Boss, Wei Xian has colluded with various ministers to support Long Ziyue's ascension to the throne. Now, Long Ziyue has become Her Majesty the Empress of Long Teng, while you… have become a fugitive criminal of Long Teng."
