Both of them were extremely anxious. Yesterday, Li Yuyue came home with a displeased expression, and no matter how they tried to persuade her, it had no effect.
Li Chengqian had also developed a strong resentment towards Emperor Bei Chen. Although Li Yuyue was indeed unreasonable in yesterday's matter, he hadn't directly confronted Prince Bei Chen. He could only wait for an opportunity to give him a good kick.
But early this morning, Li Yuyue suddenly screamed. Could something else have happened?
Last night, Li Yuyue felt a slight itchiness on her face while sleeping. After scratching it a few times, she didn't think much of it.
However, when she woke up today and was getting ready to dress up, she suddenly discovered that her face was covered in freckles.
The freckles densely covered both sides of her nose, turning her once outstanding appearance into an ugly mess.
She immediately went to wash her face, but no matter how she cleansed it, the freckles remained stubbornly on her face, impossible to dissipate.
"How could this happen!" Li Yuyue touched her face in panic, tears welling up in her eyes. "How did my face change like this overnight?"
Li Chengqian and Zhao Wenqiang entered the room and were greeted with a scene of chaos. The maidservants stood aside, afraid to speak.
"Yue'er, what happened to you?" Zhao Wenqiang spoke up.
She knew her daughter's temperament very well. Li Yuyue never liked to be at a disadvantage. But there should be no one who could have angered Li Yuyue like this so early in the morning.
"Mother!"
Li Yuyue turned her tearful gaze towards Zhao Wenqiang.
Seeing Li Yuyue's distressed appearance, Zhao Wenqiang's heart ached. But upon closer inspection, she suddenly noticed the change on Li Yuyue's face and couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
"Yue'er, what happened to your face?"
Li Yuyue shook her head sorrowfully. "I don't know. When I woke up today, I already looked like this. What should I do?"
Recalling what Baili Hongzhuang had said yesterday, that anything was possible as long as one wasn't married yet, Li Yuyue couldn't help but wonder. Now that she looked like this, would the Crown Prince still be willing to marry her?
Li Chengqian's expression also changed. His daughter was about to become the Empress, but if she looked like this, how could she face others in the future?
"Quickly find a physician!" Li Chengqian waved his hand, instructing the servants to search for a doctor outside the mansion.
Li Chengqian and Zhao Wenqiang carefully examined the freckles on Li Yuyue's face. The dense coverage was nauseating to look at, completely different from her usual beautiful appearance.
"How could a perfectly fine face suddenly change like this?"
Zhao Wenqiang's face was tense. The wedding day with the Crown Prince was not far away.
Once this news got out, their Prime Minister's residence would become a laughingstock.
After various attempts, Zhao Wenqiang and Li Yuyue confirmed that the freckles were indeed on Li Yuyue's face and couldn't be removed.
After a while, Li Chengqian said in a solemn tone, "From yesterday until today, who have you encountered?"
Li Yuyue sobbed and replied, "No one, besides the conflict with Baili Hongzhuang, there was no one else."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression couldn't help but change. "Could this be related to Baili Hongzhuang?"
It was well known that Baili Yuyan's disfigurement had never been explained, but it was common knowledge that she had a deep grudge against Baili Hongzhuang.
