The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 705: Flowers Would Look Good After Consuming it

These two had planted the peonies exceptionally well, so they had received many rewards from the various palaces.

However, when the Empress heard these words now, she was truly disgusted. When she thought of those peonies outside, her entire body felt uncomfortable.

There were actually human bones in there!

The Empress’s expression was extremely unsightly. “Take them out. Those who don’t report what they know will be beaten to death!”

She had always been lenient toward the palace servants, but who could tolerate this?

Not to mention the Empress, even Imperial Concubine Meng, who had been quiet by the side, was in a bad mood. After a while, she covered her mouth and was about to vomit. The Empress hurriedly ordered someone to bring a spittoon over.

Imperial Concubine Meng was an extremely amiable person. The few concubines in the palace were all carefully selected. The Emperor thought Imperial Concubine Meng was the most amiable person and did not fight over her. That was why he gave her such a high position to assist the Empress in managing the matters in the palace.

Imperial Concubine Meng did not have any other hobbies, but she liked flowers and plants.

At this time of year, the peonies were blooming beautifully. Naturally, she would look at them often.

It was inevitable that she would have to sniff at the tip of her nose. Every morning, the palace maids would go to the flowers to gather morning dew to brew tea. Even when she was bathing, she sometimes soaked the petals in the water…

Thinking of this, she really… could not withstand the disgusting feeling!

The two gardeners were dragged out, and Great Consort Mei’s body became weak.

Zhao Xuanjing glanced at her hair, which was too lustrous for her age. He walked up and gently pulled it…

It was a wig.

“Ah! Don’t touch my hair!” Great Consort Mei hurriedly covered her head.

He looked at her hair. Itwas a bit bald, and it looked very scary.

Before Imperial Concubine Meng finished vomiting, she raised her head and saw that Great Consort Mei’s hair was fake. She felt terrible.

The Empress looked at Imperial Concubine Meng with heartache. “You should go back to the palace and rest. This horrible thing…”

“Thank You, Your Highness, but… now… If I don’t get to the bottom of this, my imagination will run wild when I return. I will feel even worse… Ugh!” Imperial Concubine Meng’s face turned green.

The Empress thought about it and agreed.

Great Consort Mei did not expect herself to be in such a sorry state.

“If you want to keep your life, why don’t you tell me everything in detail? Where did you get this hair? Did you shave it off from a living person? Also, explain these things! Great Consort Mei, the Empress Dowager and I have treated you well. If you’re sick, why don’t you go to the imperial physician? Why do you have to use these things?!” The Empress did not even dare to look at the things on the ground.

Great Consort Mei removed her hands from her head and discovered that her hair had fallen out again.

She suddenly broke down and glared at the Empress. “What do you know?! The late emperor used to say that my hair was the most beautiful! Every time he had something troubling him, he would come to my palace. He would praise me for my talent, my clean appearance, and how comfortable I made him feel! But now I’ve become like this!

“I’m old, my skin is loose, and my eyes will lose their luster. I just got people to send things over to brighten up my face. What’s wrong with that?! It’s just bone powder. Flowers would look good after consuming it, so can I!

The Empress was a little confused.

Was this person the same as flowers?

“You’re old too. Look, just like the fallen leaves in autumn. With a slight touch of this face, it’s wrinkled beyond recognition…” Great Consort Mei was a little bewitched.

The Empress shook her head.

Who could remain young forever?

With her current state, it was impossible for her to get a clear answer. Thus, she called the granny who served her over.

There was no need to force her. The other party had confessed honestly.

About ten years ago, Great Consort Mei suddenly began to lose her hair. It was very severe, and she had asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine. However, she was old after all, so it was ineffective.
