Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"poison."

Lin Mo pulled up a chair and sat down, then started rambling on and on.

"Nine-Turn Intestinal-Severing Powder, a rare poison from the Western Regions."

"I didn't feel anything on the first day after eating it."

"The next day, my skin started to itch."

"On the third day, dark spots will appear on your face, densely packed and merging together."

Xia Qinghan stared wide-eyed at Lin Mo in horror.

"By the fourth day..."

Lin Mo stroked his chin, pausing deliberately.

"My hair would fall out in clumps. When I combed my hair in the morning, half of my scalp would be bald after just one stroke. The sight was...tsk tsk..."

"On the seventh day, the body begins to fester and ooze pus, emitting a foul stench. It will not completely turn into a pool of yellow fluid until the eighty-oneth day."

Xia Qinghan's face turned deathly pale instantly.

His whole body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Disfigurement! Hair loss! Festering pus!

For a princess who had always been very proud of herself, this was a thousand times more terrifying than being slowly sliced ​​to death!

"You...you devil!"

Xia Qinghan finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they streamed down her face.

"Kill me! Kill me now!"

She'd rather be hacked to death right now than become a bald, spotted ugly monster!

"Kill you?"

Lin Mo leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"You didn't ask me this last night on the dragon bed in the Phoenix Palace."

Xia Qinghan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

He froze on the spot.

Last night's decadent scenes instantly flooded my mind.

Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, she felt an urge to bite her tongue off and commit suicide on the spot, or to find a crack in the ground and never come out again.

Xia Ruoling, who was standing to the side, was also terrified.

The plum blossom cake in my hand fell to the ground with a thud.

She lunged forward and grabbed Lin Mo's leg.

"Your Majesty! Please spare Ninth Sister!"

"She's immature, she has a terrible temper, please don't kill her!"

"She was just talking nonsense! She doesn't hate you at all! Really!"

Xia Ruoling knelt on the ground, looked up, and her clear, innocent eyes were full of pleading.

Lin Mo looked down at the naive and sweet princess who was clinging to his leg.

"Oh? She doesn't hate me?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly and gently lifted Xia Ruoling's chin.

"And you, do you hate me?"

Xia Ruoling shook her head frantically, like a rattle-drum.

"I don't hate him! Ruoling doesn't hate His Majesty at all!"

"Your third brother died at my hands, and I also destroyed the Great Xia Dynasty. Don't you hate me?"

Xia Ruoling looked up and answered very seriously.

"Third Brother did bad things and deserves to die. The fall of Great Xia is the will of the people. Moreover..."

She paused, then added in a low voice.

"His Majesty is a good person."

Lin Mo laughed.

This girl is really interesting.

Why do you think I'm a good person?

He asked with great interest.

Xia Ruoling shook her head.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling."

"Although His Majesty looks fierce, he is not bad at all. Besides, His Majesty is so handsome, he can't be a bad person."

Is beauty everything?

This little girl's thought process is so unique it's astonishing.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you guys."

Lin Mo released Xia Ruoling's chin and stood up.

"What I just gave to your Ninth Sister wasn't some kind of Seven-Step Intestinal Severing Powder."

"It's a youth-preserving elixir."

Lin Mo patted the wrinkles on his sleeve.

"After taking it, it can not only remove impurities from the body, but also make the skin smooth and supple."

"Most importantly, it can keep people young forever, maintaining their current appearance until they die of old age."

The bedchamber was silent for three seconds.

Xia Ruoling blinked.

"Eternal youth?"

"impossible!"

Xia Qinghan gritted her teeth.

"Stop lying! You're just trying to torture me!"

Lin Mo rolled his eyes.

That stubborn person is truly unyielding; they won't budge even when led away, and will only back down when pushed.

Don't believe me?

Lin Mo raised his chin towards Xia Qinghan and said to Xia Ruoling.

Go and see her.

Xia Ruoling quickly got up from the ground and went to the bedside.

She stared intently at Xia Qinghan's face.

The more he looked, the wider his eyes widened.

"ah!"

Xia Ruoling covered her mouth and let out a gasp.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Qinghan was startled by her exclamation and quickly touched her face.

"Are you getting dark spots? Are you starting to lose hair?"

"No, no!"

Xia Ruoling jumped up and down twice in excitement.

"Ninth Sister! You've become even more beautiful!"

"What?"

"Seriously! Your skin has become so white and smooth! Just like a peeled egg!"

"And the fine line at the corner of your eye is gone! You're glowing!"

Xia Ruoling cupped her face in her hands, her eyes filled with envy.

Xia Qinghan was stunned.

She unconsciously touched her cheek.

The skin feels smooth and creamy to the touch, as delicate as a baby's skin.

Moreover, there was no burning sensation in my throat after taking the pill.

Instead, a warm current flowed through my body, and I felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout my limbs and bones.

Could it really be a miraculous medicine?

Xia Qinghan threw off the covers, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and ran barefoot to the dressing table in the corner of the bedroom.

She picked up a bronze mirror and stared intently at her reflection.

The woman in the mirror had exquisite features and skin as white as snow.

His face, which had looked somewhat haggard from days of fear and hunger strike, now radiated an astonishing vitality.

With rosy lips and white teeth, she radiated beauty.

Even her long, black hair became smoother and shinier, emitting a faint fragrance.

She really has become more beautiful.

And it's more beautiful than ever before!

"Never growing old...forever...so beautiful?"

Xia Qinghan muttered to herself.

Beauty is the ultimate weapon that every woman desires.

Not to mention eternal beauty!

At this moment, the Ninth Princess of Great Xia, who had just been crying and lamenting her tragic fate and wishing she could perish together with Lin Mo, was now...

Miraculously, I temporarily forgot my troubles.

They forgot the pain of national subjugation.

They had forgotten the humiliation they suffered at Fengyi Palace the previous night.

She had only one thought in her mind: I'm so beautiful! I'll always be this beautiful!

Xia Qinghan looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, and the corners of her mouth even turned up involuntarily.

Woman, your name is vanity.

Lin Mo stood aside, watching Xia Qinghan's intoxicated expression as she admired her own beauty, and secretly found it amusing.

What about a princess of a fallen kingdom, what about unwavering loyalty and chastity?

Compared to a youth-preserving pill, everything else is insignificant.

the other side.

Xia Ruoling looked at Xia Qinghan looking in the mirror, so envious that her mouth almost watered.

She wrung her handkerchief in her hands and paced back and forth.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage and cautiously walked up to Lin Mo.

"His Majesty……"

Xia Ruoling awkwardly bowed, trying to imitate court etiquette.

"You just said that this pill... do you still have any...?"
