THE USELESS MIRACLE DOCTOR CONSORT IS SPOILED ROTTEN BY THE PRINCE!

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1223: Zi Wei’s Face, Changed

In the residence that Yue Lian had bought, she paced nervously outside the door.

Seven days earlier, the cosmetic surgeon she had hired had arrived, agreeing to alter Zi Wei’s appearance. To prepare the surgical site, she first connected three rooms within the residence to set up the surgery room she would need.

She and Zi Wei had been inside for seven days, during which time, apart from delivering meals, she hadn’t seen Zi Wei at all and couldn’t help but worry.

The old steward watched her rush about anxiously and could only sigh in pity, “Miss, why do you torment yourself? If you were worried about your husband, why agree to this in the first place? Once his appearance is changed, will he still stay by your side?”

He would probably have flown to Su Yingxue’s side ages ago!

What could Yue Lian gain after so much painstaking effort and such a high cost?

“Enough, steward!” Yue Lian asserted her authority as the head of the household, “I don’t want to hear others question my decisions anymore; I’m clear about what I want to do.”

How could the old steward not see that she wasn’t really angry but just being stubborn?

The old steward truly pitied her.

Yue Lian stood outside the door until evening.

The setting sun cast a splendid glow, like a tapestry adorning the dusk.

Finally, the door opened, and a sprightly young woman bounced out to Yue Lian, beginning cheerfully, “All done, your husband’s inflammation has subsided; you can go see him now!”

She didn’t have long hair like Yue Lian, but a peculiar elfin look with short hair up to her ears and bangs in front.

Her attire was also different from that of ordinary women. She wore a self-tailored floral jacket, which exposed her fair and delicate arms and part of her thighs, and she wore a pair of leather boots, truly a unique sight.

When Yue Lian had first seen her, she thought she was incredibly strange, but now, she couldn’t care about that and bowed slightly, “Thank you, Doctor,” before rushing into the room to see Zi Wei.

Zi Wei had been lying in bed for three days, his face experiencing intense pain and wrapped in thick gauze; he didn’t even know what he had become.

It was only when Yue Lian’s anxious face appeared through the small gaps of his heavily wrapped eyes.

Yue Lian supported him, looking at his heavily wrapped face, and clutched his hand anxiously, “Hubby, how are you feeling? Does it hurt?”

Zi Wei responded indifferently, “Hmm.”

It hurt terribly.

He could feel the agonizing pain of the blade scraping his face; had it not been for his experiences in earlier years, he wouldn’t have endured it.

But now…

He was more keen to know if his face was still the same.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do it,” Liu Yi said brightly, hopping over to Zi Wei and reaching for his head.

Zi Wei almost drew his knife reflexively, scaring Liu Yi into stepping back, “Brother, calm down! This habit of yours won’t change even if your face does!”

As a professional assassin, his vigilance was too strong; he hardly trusted anyone.

This way, even if she changed his appearance to bring him back to his original master, his master would recognize him at a glance!

On hearing this, Zi Wei sheathed his knife and placed it back by his side.

Even though it felt very uncomfortable and his whole body was out of sync, he bore it to return to his master’s side.

Seeing him endure the discomfort, Yue Lian whispered to Liu Yi, “Doctor, don’t provoke him anymore, let him take it slow.”

As Liu Yi unwrapped the gauze, he couldn’t help but lament, “How can one love someone to such an extent?”

She had changed the faces of so many people, witnessed so many lovestruck fools in this ancient era, but this was the first time she had seen someone like Yue Lian, who gave everything for the man she loved without seeking anything in return.

And as far as she knew, Yue Lian had not received the slightest return from this man called Zi Wei.

Not a bit!

How tragic!

Liu Yi finished unwrapping the bandages from Zi Wei’s face, which now barely resembled its original form.

The most noticeable change was the purple traces at the corners of his eyes, left by the long-term accumulation of toxins, were gone.

His now thin and cold eyes looked more indifferent and mournful, making him even more intimidating and difficult to approach.

Yue Lian examined his face closely; it should have been unrecognizable, a face she didn’t know.

Yet, for some reason, she still recognized him immediately by looking at his facial contours.

It was as if he had changed a lot, yet it seemed… he hadn’t changed at all.

He was still her husband.

Zi Wei rarely looked in mirrors, but this time he stood in front of one and studied his new face for a long while.

Even when he touched his own face, it felt strange to him.

He turned and asked Yue Lian, “Do you still recognize me?”

Yue Lian instinctively nodded; of course, she recognized him!

But guessing what Zi Wei wanted to hear, she quickly shook her head, “I don’t recognize you anymore! If we were to pass each other on the street, I wouldn’t know you were my husband!”

“Really?” Zi Wei’s eyes dimmed slightly.

He didn’t know why, but he felt slightly uncomfortable when Yue Lian said that.

Perhaps it was because he had been called husband for so long, he was used to it.

But thinking about being able to return to his master’s side to protect her made his mood less heavy.

Yue Lian paid Liu Yi the consultation fee and even held a banquet as thanks. Liu Yi sat at the table, looking at the pile of silver with little interest, her eyes eagerly fixed on Yue Lian, “We had an agreement that once I finish the surgery, you would continue telling me, your love story, and your secret! That’s the ‘consultation fee’ I really want to collect.”

Liu Yi, who came from the modern era, was an outstanding cosmetic surgeon. A sudden opening of a time-space tunnel three years ago on a lab visit sucked her into this bizarre era, into the body of a lonely girl living in a desolate mountain wilderness.

As for her, she was quite flighty. Having earned enough through beauty treatments to live comfortably, she began to long for love.

But she knew well that love often ended in sadness.

Thus, she collected love stories instead of participating in them herself.

Everyone who came to her for facial treatments had to tell her a good story to satisfy her before she would personally perform the surgery.

When Yue Lian approached her, the story she told was so moving that it almost brought her to tears.

She had never seen a woman as foolishly devoted and pitiable as Yue Lian.

Yue Lian said that there was a secret between her and Zi Wei that no one else knew, which she would reveal to her once Zi Wei achieved his heart’s desire.

Now that she had changed her husband’s face, it was time for her to reveal the rest of the secrets.

Yue Lian glanced at Zi Wei, her expression a bit awkward, “Hubby, if you want to keep up with the empress’s schedule, you should rest early, or I fear you might get hurt in the tough battles coming up.”
