When the queen saw the palace maid, she stepped back, exclaimed, and angrily said: "How dare you, I want you to take off a veil, what are you yelling about?"
"Queen, please forgive me, this servant did this unintentionally. It's really... too... too terrible." The palace maid named Meijing knelt on the ground with a plop, her face pale and her body trembling.
At this time, everyone's eyes were cast on the right side of Mu Tianxue's face, and several screams suddenly sounded in the hall.
The empresses from all the palaces all widened their beautiful eyes and looked at Mu Tianxue's right face in horror.
For a time, all the empresses in the palace patted their chests to soothe their frightened hearts.
Although the Queen Mother and the Empress did not scream in shock, they could not help but widen their eyes. They took a breath of air and were speechless for a long time.
I saw that Mu Tianxue's face was divided into two halves, one half was pale and bloodless, and the other half was blood red without any white. There were a few black centipede-like birthmarks on the blood-red area near the corner of the eye, spreading from the corner of the eye.
onto the cheek.
The centipedes in the corner of her eyes seemed to be alive, crawling in the corner of her right eye, twisting hundreds of thin legs. That half of the face was no longer ugly to describe, but made people frightened and frightened after looking at it.
I couldn't imagine that half of the face would be that of a woman.
Mu Tianxue looked at the Queen Mother and the Empress, and thought to herself: "As expected, they are both the heads of the harem. Although they were frightened, they did not lose the dignity and manners that the Queen Mother and Empress should have. Unlike the empresses in the palace, who were all attracted by her face.
, so shocked that all his blood disappeared, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
Of course, there was one person among them. After just a moment's surprise, he realized that Mu Tianxue had done anything. That person was none other than Mu Tianxue's aunt, "Concubine Xian."
"Tianxue, why does your face look like this? You can't be sick! I remember that there weren't those centipede-shaped things on your birthmark originally. Could it be that they grew out overnight?
?" Concubine Xian looked worried and said with a concerned tone.
On the surface, she looked worried, but in her heart, she was secretly proud and sneered: "Ugly girl, you bumped into this by yourself, don't blame me. It's a capital crime to deceive the Queen Mother and the Empress. Look at what you did today.
The Lord will open the palace while he is still alive."
It turned out that the crime of framing Mu Tianxue and his servant... was not established, which made her feel panicked and uncomfortable. She was thinking about how to get rid of Mu Tianxue.
Unexpectedly, Mu Tianxue would bump into him by herself, so she would not let such a good opportunity pass away like that. A few simple words could make the Queen Mother and the Empress doubt the birthmark.
Concubine Xian's words really had a big effect. The Queen Mother, the Empress, and the ladies of the palace all looked suspicious, and everyone could understand the meaning of Concubine Xian's words.
"Hui Concubine Xian said, when the common girl saw her appearance today, she was so frightened that she couldn't believe it. Her face was not so scary yesterday.
Unexpectedly, such a terrible thing was born in this night. Therefore, the common daughter was afraid of shocking the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the ladies of the palace, so she boldly concealed this ugly and terrifying face, and invited the Queen Mother
Please forgive me, the Queen."
Mu Tianxue said seriously, her eyes full of sincerity, as if she was saying that what she said was indeed true and not a single word was false.
The Queen Mother had a gloomy face, narrowed her eyes, pointed at Mu Tianxue angrily, and said angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to deceive others, and several centipedes can grow on your face overnight. You are the Ai family
Are you easy to fool?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. No matter how courageous the daughter is, she would not dare to deceive the Queen Mother. Everything she said is true. If the Queen Mother thinks that the daughter is lying, she can order someone to verify it herself."
Mu Tianxue said in a calm tone. There was no trace of fear or panic on her face. She had expected that Concubine Xian would expose her in public, so she added the most important thing when making the paint to make the paint on her face appear.
It cannot be wiped off or washed off within three days.
"Come here, bring a basin of water and verify that this thing that grew overnight is really strange and weird."
The Queen said with a cold face that she did not believe that several centipede-shaped birthmarks could grow on a person's face overnight. The chance was extremely slim.
After hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Xian actually had a look of pride in her eyes. With the help of the Queen's hand, except for Mu Tianxue, she was happy to watch and reap the benefits.
After Eunuch Lu agreed, he brought a basin of cold water to Mu Tianxue. Without waiting for Eunuch Lu to press her into the water, she buried her face in the cold water. In the golden autumn season, the water was also cold, which made her unable to help herself.
shuddered.
In order to make everyone believe it was true, she immersed her face in the water for five minutes before getting out of the water. Then she wiped the right face with a handkerchief vigorously. After wiping for about two or three minutes, she handed the handkerchief to Eunuch Lu.
, Eunuch Lu took the veil and presented it to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
When the Queen Mother and the Empress saw that there was no trace of paint or ink on the veil, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes. If the paint and ink were painted on their faces, they would have already melted when exposed to water.
But the twisted and ferocious centipede on Mu Tianxue's face was intact. Even the white silk handkerchief was pure and stain-free, and it didn't even have the color of rouge or gouache.
"Come here, please invite Dr. Zhang." Although the Queen Mother was puzzled, she didn't believe that the thing grew overnight. She would never believe such a weird thing without the confirmation of the Dr. Zhang.
After a while, Dr. Zhang hurried over with Eunuch Lu. After Eunuch Lu announced the news loudly, Dr. Zhang entered the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, and said respectfully: "I will see the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the empresses of each palace."
The Queen Mother said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, come and see if the black centipede on her face grew out of her flesh. Can such a thing grow overnight?"
"Yes." Doctor Zhang stood up and walked to Mu Tianxue, carefully looking at the centipede birthmark on Mu Tianxue's face.
After observing for a while, he said doubtfully: "Girl, when did the red birthmark on your face appear?"
"I heard from my mother that this birthmark appeared overnight just two days after I was born. At that time, I invited many doctors, and they all said that it grows from the flesh and cannot be removed. As I grow older, this birthmark becomes more and more obvious.
Bigger and bigger, until now."
Mu Tianxue pretended to look disappointed and said slowly.
Doctor Zhang nodded, with a trace of sympathy on his face. He was so young, but he had such an ugly face, "Then when and how did your centipede-shaped birthmark appear? Before it appeared, did you
What are the symptoms?”
