Li Yuyue was calm and peaceful until her conflict with Baili Hongzhuang yesterday resulted in her current appearance. It seemed too coincidental.
Li Yuyue's mind couldn't think straight at the moment, and she just wanted to find a reason to blame everything on Baili Hongzhuang.
"Yes, it must be Baili Hongzhuang!" Li Yuyue nodded repeatedly. "Father, you must seek justice for me!"
"Don't worry, if this is truly the doing of Baili Hongzhuang, I will make her pay!" Li Chengqian's face turned gloomy.
Who did Baili Hongzhuang think she was, daring to touch his daughter? She must be tired of living!
Soon, a physician arrived and examined Li Yuyue's face but shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I can't find the cause of Miss Li's sudden appearance of freckles. This situation is unheard of."
"Is there no solution?" Zhao Wenqiang asked unwillingly.
If Li Yuyue's face remained like this, how could she face others in the future?
"In my opinion, only Miss Baili from the Divine Physician's Pavilion might have a way to help. Other physicians may have a very slim chance of curing it," the physician suggested.
The expressions of Li Chengqian and Zhao Wenqiang turned unpleasant. They now suspected that Baili Hongzhuang was behind this.
If they sought Baili Hongzhuang's help, wouldn't they become a laughingstock in her eyes?
After the physician left, Li Chengqian brought in several other physicians, but their conclusions were no different from the first one. It seemed that no one besides Baili Hongzhuang could cure Li Yuyue.
"Master, in my opinion, we should seek Baili Hongzhuang's help first. As long as you step in, I believe Baili Hongzhuang will give us face," Zhao Wenqiang suggested, contemplating the idea.
Li Yuyue immediately opposed, "Seek help from that woman? Why should we?"
She still wanted to regain her dignity from Baili Hongzhuang. If they sought her help now, she might never regain her dignity.
Frowning, Zhao Wenqiang's voice carried a hint of reprimand. "Yue'er, your priority now is not to argue with Baili Hongzhuang. Think about it, once you become the Crown Princess, won't you have plenty of opportunities to deal with Baili Hongzhuang?"
Li Chengqian nodded slightly. "Your mother is right; that's how we'll handle this."
Seeing Li Chengqian and Zhao Wenqiang's determined attitude, Li Yuyue reluctantly agreed. After all, saving her face was the most important thing.
However, when Li Chengqian sent someone to the Divine Physician's Pavilion to ask for Baili Hongzhuang's help, they received the news that the Pavilion had temporarily ceased treatment. The reason given was that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince had gone on a mountain trip.
They then sent someone to the Crown Prince's residence for inquiries but were told that they didn't know when the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would return.
This news left Li Chengqian's family in a dilemma. Just when they needed Baili Hongzhuang the most, she had disappeared. They seemed to have no options left.
Meanwhile, Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Bei Chen were enjoying their time outside the imperial city.
Heimu drove the carriage, while Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Bei Chen sat inside, admiring the scenery on both sides of the street.
"Now that we're out of the imperial city, you don't need to continue pretending," Baili Hongzhuang said slowly.
It was uncomfortable for a normal person to pretend to be disabled all day.
Emperor Bei Chen smiled faintly. "If we encounter other people in the mountains, our identities will be exposed."
If they were going to pretend, they couldn't afford to leave any traces. Otherwise, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
