Chapter 111 Skin Texture Improvement
The divine healer was a special person to his master, but he dared not say just how special she was.
As Murong Xun was leaving, he paused briefly beside Xue Ruanruan, giving her a meaningful look with his dark, deep eyes that seemed to see through everything.
As Murong Xun turned to leave, he paused slightly. As he passed Xue Ruanruan, his dark, deep eyes, seemingly capable of seeing through everything, narrowed slightly, then he gazed intently at her. That single glance contained endless meaning and indescribable emotion. In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and the entire world shrunk to the two of them gazing at each other.
Murong Xun's eyes held an unfathomable light, a hint of regret mixed with a subtle concern. His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the barriers of time and space, striking deep into Xue Ruanruan's heart. She could even feel the powerful and mysterious force in his eyes trying to probe her deepest thoughts.
However, Xue Ruanruan was not intimidated by Murong Xun's gaze. She straightened her back and met his eyes without flinching. At that moment, she displayed her strength and courage, proving to Murong Xun that she was not one to easily show weakness. Although she felt a little flustered inside, she remained calm and composed.
Murong Xun's lips curled slightly, seemingly surprised by Xue Ruanruan's reaction. He then withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, leaving behind a tall and imposing figure receding into the distance. As he left, the surrounding atmosphere gradually returned to calm, but Xue Ruanruan knew that that fleeting moment of eye contact would be forever etched in her memory.
Without saying a word, he strode away, his brocade robe swaying in the wind, brushing against her face, as if she didn't notice.
Xue Ruanruan was startled; he realized that she had used him to bully others with her power.
Xue Ruanruan's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly turned pale. Had what she had just done been discovered? She couldn't help but wonder to herself. She secretly glanced into the other person's eyes and found that he was staring intently at her, as if he could see right through her.
She began to feel a sense of panic and unease. She had thought she had done everything perfectly, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. She realized that she might have underestimated the other person's intelligence and insight; perhaps he had already seen through her intentions.
At this moment, Xue Ruanruan's heart pounded faster and faster. She didn't know how to face this situation. What would happen next if the other party really discovered her actions? She began to regret why she had taken such a risky move, and now she was in such an awkward predicament.
However, despite her inner fear and anxiety, Xue Ruanruan tried her best to remain calm. She took a deep breath, attempting to calm herself and consider how to deal with the situation. After all, running away wouldn't solve the problem; she needed to bravely face reality.
However, since he didn't expose it in public and even cooperated with me to put pressure on the Left Prime Minister, does that mean he agreed to my actions?
Xue Ruanruan was in a state of turmoil and had no mind to think about anything else. Only after the Left Prime Minister and the other students' parents had all left did she apologize to the headmaster and the teachers.
Upon seeing this, the Left Chancellor couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. He frowned slightly, and his tone became stern: "What? Hand over the portrait at once!"
The youngest daughter hesitated for a moment, then slowly handed the portrait to the Left Prime Minister. The Left Prime Minister took the portrait and examined it carefully. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an ordinary painting. However, when he saw the figure in the painting clearly, his expression suddenly became serious.
The person in the painting was none other than the current emperor! The Left Prime Minister was secretly astonished; he couldn't understand why his youngest daughter would possess a portrait of the emperor. He looked at his daughter again, only to see her eyes flickering, as if she were deliberately avoiding his gaze. This unusual behavior made the Left Prime Minister increasingly suspicious.
The Left Prime Minister stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He never imagined that his youngest daughter was holding a self-portrait of the Regent. The Regent in the painting was so lifelike, it seemed he might step out of the painting at any moment. A sense of foreboding welled up in the Left Prime Minister's heart. He knew all too well the Regent's power and methods; if his youngest daughter had any connection with the Regent, it could bring utter destruction to the entire family. He resolved to find out the reason behind this and not allow his family to be plunged into danger.
The Left Prime Minister took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. He decided to have a serious talk with his daughter to understand her true thoughts.
“Father, I know I was wrong,” Miss Zuo said, kneeling on the ground with her head bowed.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" the Left Chancellor asked sternly.
“My daughter shouldn’t like the Regent,” Miss Zuo replied softly.
"Since you know this, why are you still so stubbornly clinging to your delusions?" The Left Prime Minister's tone was tinged with disappointment.
Miss Zuo raised her head, her eyes shining with determination. "Father, my feelings for the Regent are not just a passing impulse, but genuine. I believe that the Regent feels the same way."
The Left Prime Minister looked at his daughter, feeling helpless. He knew that once his daughter made up her mind about something, it was difficult to change it. Perhaps he should try a different approach to this problem...
Several complex expressions flashed across the Prime Minister's face, sometimes ashen, sometimes deathly pale. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. This was his daughter, whom he had always cherished and raised with utmost care! Yet now he witnessed this scene—she had actually developed feelings for her longtime nemesis, even to the point of secretly falling in love with him! And whether that man reciprocated her feelings was still unknown… Thinking of this, the Prime Minister couldn't help but feel an indescribable surge of anger and disappointment.
The Left Prime Minister's face turned pale and then red. This was the daughter he had raised with such care and affection that she had secretly fallen for his mortal enemy. Whether the man reciprocated her feelings was another matter entirely.
Wang Jingjing had never expected her father to be so angry. Her once rosy face instantly turned ashen, devoid of any color. At that moment, her heart was filled with fear and unease, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She stared wide-eyed at her father, seemingly trying to find some comfort or explanation in his eyes, but his stern gaze only made her more afraid.
She was well aware that the Regent's relationship with her father had never been harmonious. However, despite this, her feelings for the Regent grew ever stronger.
She couldn't explain why she liked him so much, but the feeling was like an invisible force that deeply attracted her. Whenever she saw the Regent's handsome face, upright figure, and resolute eyes, an indescribable impulse and longing would surge within her.
Perhaps it was the unique charisma emanating from the Regent that captivated her; or perhaps it was the wisdom and decisiveness he displayed in handling state affairs that inspired her admiration. In any case, she simply couldn't resist the growing affection in her heart.
Although there were some obstacles and difficulties between them, she firmly believed that love could overcome everything. She was willing to make efforts to resolve the conflict between her father and the regent, hoping to create a harmonious and happy situation.
So she often found opportunities to slip away and secretly follow the Regent. One day, as usual, she followed him, but saw him enter a clinic. Curious, she approached and heard the Regent's voice from inside: "Doctor, is there any hope for my illness?" The doctor shook his head: "Your Highness, your illness has penetrated to the bone marrow; I fear it is difficult to cure." She was shocked; it turned out the Regent was ill.
She decided to go in and see if she could help. She entered the clinic, and the regent's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw her. She stepped forward and said to the regent, "I know some medicine; perhaps I can help you." The regent looked at her and nodded.
"What are you holding in your hand? Let me see." The Left Prime Minister saw that his youngest daughter was holding a portrait. He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but her evasive eyes caught his attention. His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. His voice involuntarily turned cold.
The youngest daughter seemed frightened by the Left Prime Minister's tone; she trembled, and the portrait almost fell to the ground.
The Left Prime Minister frowned and snatched the portrait. When he saw the person in the painting, his face instantly turned grim.
"Is this the Regent?" His voice was filled with suppressed anger.
The youngest daughter lowered her head, not daring to look the Prime Minister in the eye, and simply nodded slightly.
