Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 174 - Her Hunches Are Always Accurate

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Her Hunches Are Always Accurate Chapter 174 -174 Her Hunches Are Always Accurate “Madam Chen’s skin is a bit lax, and her vital energy and blood are deficient,” she might consider taking some medicine to replenish her energy and blood. As for the loose skin, it can only be addressed through exercise. Miss Chen’s complexion is rosy, only marred by a few minor spots, which do not affect her overall appearance,”

Murong Jiu observed Madam Chen and her daughter, making her comments.

This Miss Chen was none other than Chen Zhaorong, who had humiliated Wang Baozhu with silver and had been present at Na Kesi Hall for the pre-court hearing that day.

Her disposition seemed quite agreeable, not as reserved as other young ladies of her class; she appeared much more sincere.

“But, Princess Consort, is there a way to remove the spots on my face? I always feel somewhat inferior, and I dare not stand too close to people when speaking, for fear of the spots being seen,”

Chen Zhaorong said with distress.

In Murong Jiu’s eyes, although the spots didn’t seem to matter much, Chen Zhaorong would look at herself in the mirror every day and feel inferior. Previously, Wang Baozhu had deliberately taunted her about her face covered with ‘sparrow spots’ and being shameless to show it in public, deepening her insecurity.

Murong Jiu chuckled softly, inviting her to come closer for a more careful examination, and inquired whether she had these spots since childhood or if they had developed later.

Hearing Chen Zhaorong’s responses, Murong Jiu had a clearer understanding.

“The spots can be lightened with medication, but it requires persistence. It will only be after about three months that you can see the results. Are you willing to wait that long?”

“Of course!!”

Chen Zhaorong was ecstatic. Her mother had even consulted the Imperial Physician before, and he had said there was nothing to be done. She had not expected that Princess Consort Ling would claim to be able to lighten the spots.

Even a slight lightening would make her happy!

As she gazed upon Princess Consort Ling, who was just a stone’s throw away, she could almost discern the minute features on her delicately fair face, with the sunlight filtering through the layers of leaves, casting an ethereal, almost surreal glow on her.

No wonder the rumors said that Prince was especially attentive to the Princess Consort. If she were a man and had married such a heavenly immortal, she certainly wouldn’t want to leave the house at all, happy to gaze upon her delight all day long!

Murong Jiu, with a smile, wrote down prescriptions for both Madam Chen and Chen Zhaorong at the desk, advising them on how to take the medications and for how long.

The other three ladies each had their issues as well.

Among them, Madam Liu had the most serious problem—she was excessively obese. She couldn’t even fit into regular chairs. Her smile, however, was hearty. Reportedly she hadn’t been overweight in her earlier years; it was only after giving birth to six children that she became this hefty and was now greatly troubled, fearing she would outgrow her clothes soon.

Over the years, her clothing had caused her much embarrassment. In an attempt to look slimmer, she had her embroideress make clothes that were just her size, which seemed fine during fittings, but would tear open whenever she made slightly larger movements while visiting, leading to ridicule by many.

After feeling her pulse, Murong Jiu asked, “Madam, have you recently been experiencing profuse sweating, waking up startled in the middle of the night, and sometimes having difficulty breathing?”

Madam Liu was surprised, “How did the Princess Consort know?”

“Madam really needs to lose weight, as it is now affecting your normal life. However, I see that it is more of virtual weight gain, accompanied by deficiencies in vital energy and blood and excessive dampness in the body. I will prescribe some medication to regulate your body first and then devise a diet plan for you. If Madam strictly follows my method, I can assure you a loss of twenty pounds within three months.”

Murong Jiu was actually being conservative with her statement. Madam Liu had a large base weight to work from, and the reason she hadn’t been able to lose weight before was due to her physical weakness, which made it hard to persist. By first regulating her body condition before losing weight, she could shed the excess fat.

She remembered from her previous life that Madam Liu, following her guidance, had lost around twenty pounds in two months. Although her subsequent weight loss slowed down, her health had improved significantly.

However, in her previous life, all the credit had gone to Murong Man. She had taken the pulse while concealing her face, acting as a medical woman at Murong Man’s side. Once she had written the prescriptions, Murong Man would copy them and claim them as her own methods. This made Murong Man highly sought after in the noble circles of the Capital City, helping the Second Prince win over people’s hearts.

This time around, Murong Man would no longer have such opportunities, nor would the Second Prince gain any advantage from them. These benefits would belong solely to her husband, Jun Yuyan.

Madam Chen, Madam Liu, and the others expressed their deepest thanks and left Prince Mansion filled with gratitude. They immediately sent their trusted servants to gather the prescribed medicines.

A few ladies had no issues, and Murong Jiu prescribed them formulas to replenish their Qi and blood.

For a woman, having good Qi and blood means having good health and skin, and thus a better overall condition.

Those with darker skin also received beauty and skincare prescriptions, some to be taken orally, some to apply pearl powder and such; these effects were not immediate.

Some of the ladies and madams who had sent their cards but were not admitted into Prince Ling’s Mansion felt disgruntled and scornful; they did not believe Murong Jiu truly had such skills and had sent their cards only to test the waters.

A few days later, the Emperor, keeping his promise, held a recognition banquet for Murong Jiu in the palace and announced before all the officials that Murong Jiu was indeed General Fu’s own flesh and blood.

The banquet was filled with congratulations.

Those ladies and madams went to see Madam Liu and Madam Chen to assess the situation; seeing that they appeared unchanged, they figured it wasn’t anything special, though they dared not show this on their faces.

The most dazzling woman in the Capital City now was undoubtedly Murong Jiu.

Everyone was only thinking of currying favor, with no one daring to offend her.

Didn’t you see the Fifth Princess stepping aside?

Today’s protagonist was only Murong Jiu; everyone else was merely a foil.

Many noble girls thought to themselves, how fortunate that Murong Jiu was already married; otherwise, she would be the rival in the hearts of countless women.

While others appeared swollen during pregnancy, Murong Jiu seemed to glow even more, her smile gaining an added charm.

Since the Tiger Talisman was handed over, General Fu’s sons had become even more popular with those prominent families inclined towards integrity, not fearing that the Fu Family would become too powerful and arouse suspicion, and thus willing to marry their daughters into it.

Murong Jiu saw that several well-known upright officials wanted to propose marriage for her brothers, who appeared to be quite overwhelmed by it.

“Imperial Sister-in-Law, it’s unbelievable that you and Fu Baozhu were switched at birth. I’ve heard that she is living miserably now, which is well-deserved.”

The Fifth Princess actually approached Murong Jiu to gossip about Wang Baozhu with her.

Her gaze often fell on Fu Heng, and it wasn’t hard for Murong Jiu to understand that the Fifth Princess still harbored aspirations to become her sister-in-law.

Unfortunately, not only would the Fu Family not welcome Princess Shang, but the Emperor definitely would not grant such a marriage, as it would add to Jun Yuyan’s power.

Now, who doesn’t know that the Fu Family father and son cherish Murong Jiu so much, visiting Prince Ling’s Mansion daily?

The Emperor certainly meant to balance the powers, and now Prince Ling’s reputation within the Capital City was high, while the Second Prince’s had declined due to the issue with Princess Consort Ling.

At this thought, Murong Jiu subtly glanced at the Second Prince.

Although the Second Prince’s face still wore the same gentle smile when speaking to others as always, Murong Jiu always felt a sinister gaze fixed upon her.

There might be a significant event occurring tonight.

Murong Jiu’s premonitions were usually very accurate.

Unease began to grow in her heart.
