Chapter 604: The Mystery of Rouge

In fact, Concubine Yu's heart is also a little anxious, they have been planning for a long time for today's affairs, all the links have been considered, and even the emperor's mind has been thought about a few times.

She originally thought that this incident had happened, Feng Jitian was holding heavy troops at this time, and he was the person the emperor relied on the most now, so in this case, as soon as this incident happened, even if the emperor favored the shadow, he should give an explanation to the ministers in the court, so that Feng Jitian could fight with peace of mind.

But after the incident, the emperor did not show too clear intentions to punish Shuying and Luo Wangfu, but showed signs of defending them.

Seeing this in the eyes of Concubine Yu, she felt that something was really wrong.

Because Concubine Yu had always known that Jian Yu was not favored by the emperor, and the emperor had always wanted to get rid of Jian Yu, but now that the emperor didn't use such a good opportunity, she was really puzzled.

At this time, the only thing she can explain is that Shuying is very popular with the emperor, and it would be more appropriate for them to start from Concubine Xian this time, but Concubine Xian is a good person, and the people she brought to Luowang's Mansion yesterday are all her cronies, and there is no flaw in the middle, so they can only start from Shuying's body.

And these days, they have watched Shuying be the only favorite, and the relationship between Shuying and Lan Qingxuan is also very good, if this matter is used to pull Lan Qingxuan's body, it can also be pulled, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

Lan Qingxuan smiled faintly and said, "What I haven't done, I don't need to shirk it." ”

She slowly walked to the little palace maid's side and said, "You raise your head to look at me, and repeat Fang Cai's words again." ”

Her tone was very gentle, without any sharp air, but a huge pressure was released on her body, and the gentle words immediately turned into commanding words.

The little palace maid's body trembled slightly, and she glanced up at Lan Qingxuan.

Yesterday was far away, Lan Qingxuan didn't pay much attention to this little palace maid, and when she got closer at this time, this little palace maid actually looked very good, with curved eyebrows and big eyes, a snow-white complexion, and the pale red rouge on her face lined her whole person with fresh and bright.

When Lan Qingxuan saw the rouge on the little palace maid's face, her eyes immediately darkened, and the color of the rouge was exactly the same as the color of the box of rouge sent by Qu Wanxin today.

Her eyes immediately deepened, and she immediately understood the meaning of Qu Wanxin's rouge.

Her mind suddenly turned a thousand times, she was not at ease with Qu Wanxin, the situation at this time was extremely unfavorable for them, if there were other mysteries in the lunch rouge, then she was afraid that she would be calculated deeper.

But if Qu Wanxin's mind really changes, then this box of rouge will become the key to it.

She has always been a decisive person, but at this time there was hesitation in her heart.

She thought about Qu Wanxin's thoughts carefully, and then thought about Qu Wanxin's thoughts after getting the box of rouge, but it was still difficult to find a balance in between.

She bit her lip slightly, and there was a determination in her eyes.

She decided that no matter what Qu Wanxin was thinking this time, she would give it a try.

So she bent down slightly, stretched out her hand to hook the chin of the little palace maid and said: "What a handsome face, if you dress up well, I am afraid it will be a rare beauty, such a stunning beauty, I don't know what kind of thoughts she will have." ”

Her words were a little unclear to the ears of others.

Concubine Yu said loudly: "What is Princess Luo doing, intimidating witnesses?" ”

Concubine Xian, who had not spoken, sneered: "Intimidating witnesses? Concubine Yu's words are really funny, is there a threat to witnesses like Princess Luo? You have worked so hard to find witnesses, is it possible to let Princess Luo talk to her? ”

Concubine Yu's brows furrowed slightly, at this time, Lan Qingxuan's appearance was not domineering, the whole person was as gentle as the spring breeze in March, and there was no threatening words.

She said coldly: "Having said that, at this time, the matter has been settled, but Princess Luo is talking to witnesses like this, it is a little wrong after all. Your Majesty, please give an order! How can such a vicious woman be Princess Luo! How can you command the harem! ”

Concubine Xian sneered: "The emperor has his own decision on how to deal with this matter, is Concubine Yu forcing the emperor?" ”

Concubine Yu turned her head and glanced at Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian's face was cold, and her eyes were full of disdain.

Concubine Yu immediately fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has no intention of threatening you. ”

The emperor was also a little annoyed when he heard them arguing for so long at this time, and he said coldly: "What to do, I know what to do!" ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lan Qingxuan and said, "Princess Luo, what do you say about the identification of this little palace maid?" ”

"I was wronged." Lan Qingxuan said lightly: "Yesterday, I was talking with Concubine Li, but it was just talking, and there was not a word about the abolition of the queen at all. ”

When she said this, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the little palace maid and said, "So she was instructed by someone to deliberately frame me!" ”

She looked at the little palace maid and said, "Who are you?" At whose behest? ”

The little palace maid knew that she could only bite her previous words at this time, so she said loudly: "I was not instructed by anyone, but I felt cold after hearing the conversation between Niangniang and the princess yesterday, and today I heard about Niangniang's murder of the queen of the abolition, so I came out to testify!" ”

Lan Qingxuan looked at her and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

"It's true!" The little palace maid said horizontally: "Princess, you are pregnant and about to give birth, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your womb, if you do such a vicious thing, you are not afraid of retribution on your child!" ”

Lan Qingxuan's face immediately turned cold when she heard this: "You are such a delicate little girl, you have such vicious thoughts, it is really outrageous!" Hey, what is it? ”

With a finger of her hand, she took out a box of rouge from the cuff of the little palace maid.

When she was holding the box of rouge, she kept paying attention to the changes in the people around her, and only the eyes of the jade concubine blinked.

Her heart was immediately like a mirror, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Qu Wanxin didn't mean to harm her this time, but really helped them.

Shuying was closest to the little palace maid, she glanced at Lan Qingxuan after hearing Lan Qingxuan's words, and the two exchanged glances, and at that moment, both of them understood each other's thoughts.

She frowned when she saw the box of rouge and said, "This box of rouge is an offering from Suzhou, I don't have any, where did you get it?" ”

With this sentence, she put aside her relationship and directly pointed out that there was something wrong with the box of rouge.

Concubine Xian also recognized the box of rouge, and said lightly: "Suzhou rouge offerings, due to the extremely scarce raw materials, and the method of making it is extremely long, it will take three years to send a batch into the palace, before Concubine Li entered the palace, all the rouge in Suzhou in the palace is no longer in the library, and the emperor has rewarded it to all the concubines." ”

She said this, her eyes deepened and said: "Because it is precious, the Internal Affairs Office has a record when it is distributed, and the bottom of the rouge box is numbered, which concubine was given before, you can know it when you check it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lan Qingxuan immediately understood the meaning of the number under the rouge box, and she really didn't expect that the number had such a function.

She smiled lightly: "Such a precious rouge, I think it is a treasure among treasures, and it is absolutely impossible for a little palace maid like her to have it!" ”

The tone of the light Mo pointed to the key point of the matter, the situation that originally seemed extremely passive, was stirred up by such a box of rouge, and things changed dramatically.

"Where did this box of rouge come from?" The Emperor asked coldly.

The little palace maid's face was pale, she clearly remembered that she had put this box of rouge in her quilt after she had used it up this morning, how could she suddenly come here at this time, it was really too strange.

Shu Ying sneered: "I thought it was a little strange before, how could your complexion be so good recently, that face looks so outstanding, it turns out that it is because of this box of rouge." ”

She paused slightly at this point and said, "You betrayed your master for a box of rouge, and your eyelids are too shallow." ”

"This box of rouge is not mine!" The little palace maid said loudly.

Lan Qingxuan opened the box of rouge, contrasted the colors on her face, and smiled: "The colors are exactly the same." ”

The women of the harem have always been extremely concerned about their own dress, and because they have studied for a long time, they are all extremely sensitive to the quality and color of rouge gouache.

At a glance, everyone here could see that the rouge on the little palace maid's face was the same as the box of rouge found from her.

The little palace maid's complexion was suddenly extremely ugly, and even if she rubbed extremely high-grade rouge on her face, it was difficult to hide the paleness of her face.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu glanced at each other, Concubine Yu's lips bit slightly, and the complexions of the two of them changed slightly, but they had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they were naturally a little bit of a city government to sit firmly in the concubine's position, and they were still calm at this time.

Shuying stared at the little palace maid with wide eyes and said, "Say, where did this box of rouge come from?" ”

"It was picked up by a slave!" The little palace maid shuddered.

"Picked up?" Shuying smiled: "No matter which lady gets such a precious rouge, it will be kept as a treasure, and you actually say that you picked it up, which is a bit interesting." ”

The emperor said coldly: "Come on, call Huang Jing." ”

The eunuch beside him answered, and soon Huang Jing, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, invited him over.

Today's events shocked the former dynasty and the harem, and caused a great disturbance, Huang Jing had already heard about it, and the eunuch who went to invite him told him the reason why the emperor invited him over, and he also took the booklet when he came.

Huang Jing can be the head of the Internal Affairs Office, naturally he has some ability, he unfolded the booklet and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the rouge in Suzhou has been sent to all the masters last year. ”

After he finished speaking, he read the names of several concubines who could get the Suzhou rouge.

There are basically several concubines in it.
