104. Authenticity
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Wen in surprise: Is it really true?
Concubine Wen nodded sincerely: It is indeed genuine!
The Empress Dowager is still a little unbelievable, although this lotus beauty is a little impulsive, but she is not a brainless person, and she has no grievances with Xu Shu, how could she suddenly jump out and say that this scripture is fake? There must be evidence that the scriptures are fake, but now that the scriptures have been verified to be authentic, what is the lotus beauty doing this for?
Lian Meiren was stunned, how could this scripture be true? It's really been torn up by her, this must have been found by Xu Shu from somewhere!
Lian Meiren rushed to Concubine Wen's side, snatched the scripture book in her hand and rummaged through it, as if she wanted to find some evidence from it, but she tore the book in such a hurry that she couldn't remember what was written in it, and even forgot what it looked like.
"Lotus Beauty!"
The queen scolded, but Lian Meiren didn't hear it in a daze, and rushed to Xu Shu with the scripture book and asked, "This is obviously fake!" You know it! How can it be true? You say, did you collude with Concubine Wen to frame me? ”
Concubine Wen snorted at Lian Meiren, turned around, and didn't bother to look at her.
Xu Shu ignored the anger of the lotus beauty and said indifferently, "Why is the beauty so sure that this scripture is fake?" The courtiers have said that this is true, but it is really true, isn't it? ”
Xu Shu indifferently but with a hint of provocation completely crushed the last shred of reason of Lian Meiren, and shook the scriptures in her hand and said, "It's really been torn by me, how can it be true!" ”
Before the words came out, Lian Meiren was stunned first, how could she tell this matter? Although it can prove Xu Shu's deception, it also exposed his crime and tore up the book that the Empress Dowager has loved for a long time, does he still have a way to live?
Everyone was even more shocked, but they instantly understood why Lian Meiren could swear that the scriptures were true, it turned out that it was for this reason, and everyone here did not expect that it would be like this, but just now Concubine Wen said that the scriptures were true, what is going on?
Under the gaze of everyone, Concubine Wen took the sutra from the hand of the stunned lotus beauty, "The concubine does not understand Sanskrit, so I can't be sure whether this sutra is the "Myoho-renge-kyo" in the mouths of everyone, but this sutra has been written for at least ten years from the handwriting and ink marks, and it is difficult to forge the traces of this ink that gradually erodes the paper as the years go by!" Moreover, the paper used in this scripture is different from the paper of my Great Yin, and it is not a product of Middle-earth, and it is only the concubines who conclude that it is genuine! ”
The Empress Dowager has believed in Buddhism for a long time, and she also recognizes a few Sanskrit texts, and she did see the "Myoho-renge-kyo" written on the title page, so she did not doubt the authenticity of the sutra at first, and Concubine Wen is sure that this book is not a forgery, so this sutra is the real "Myoho-renge-kyo", but what happened to the one that the lotus beauty tore up?
The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Shu, "Lotus Beauty really tore up the Myoho-renge-kyo?" ”
Xu Shu nodded, then shook her head again, "Lotus Beauty did tear up a copy of the Myoho-renge-kyo, but it was not a genuine handwriting, but a manuscript transcribed by a courtier!" This scripture is a congratulatory gift from the master to the Empress Dowager, why are the courtiers embarrassed to come empty-handed? However, I didn't know what to give as a gift, and finally thought that your status was extremely noble, that you lacked nothing, and that sending some ordinary objects was not worthy of your identity, so I thought about it and copied the "Myoho-renge-kyo" by hand, with the sincerity of my cousin! ”
"You've got a heart!" The Empress Dowager praised with a smile.
Xu Shu smiled shyly and continued, "The courtiers entered the palace with two scriptures, and met the lotus beauty on the way, the lotus beauty pressed each other with her identity and coerced the courtiers, and the courtiers had to give in, but they did not want to desecrate the gift that the master gave to the queen mother, so they replaced it with the scriptures copied by the courtiers. ”
Only then did Lian Meiren understand that she had been teased by Xu Shu from the beginning, and she pounced on Xu Shu angrily, and was about to scuffle, the queen gave her a look, and the palace maid on the side set her up before Lian Meiren was hit by Xu Shu.
Lian Meiren still scolded unrelentingly, "Little slut, you are so scheming, who instructed you to frame me?" You don't have to die well! Brutes are not as good as ......"
Lian Meiren scolded too much, the aunt on the side looked at the queen's face, and gave her a hard slap in the face, the vulgar scolding stopped abruptly, Lian Meiren looked up in panic, and when she saw the concubine, she suddenly seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, "Concubine Shu saves the concubine, the concubine has been serving you wholeheartedly in the past few months, and she will ......"
It's just that how could the straw save her life, Lian Meiren's words were not finished, and Concubine Shu was already angry and slapped the case, "Shut up!" This palace remembered that you had lived in the side hall of Zhongcui Palace, and you were well-behaved and sensible, so you begged the emperor to give you a palace to live alone, but you did not hesitate to be blessed, restless and self-conscious, and even the things of the Empress Dowager dared to have crooked thoughts? Dare to frame the queen mother and Miss Xu Jiu! Such a disloyal and unrighteous person cannot be tolerated! ”
"Concubine Shu is right!" The Empress Dowager continued Concubine Shu's words and said, "Since this is the case, then press it down and give Bai Aya a piece!" ”
Lianmeiren's words came to an abrupt end, and the fear of death took over all her pores and cells, so that she had no ability to think about anything else, only suddenly felt that if she didn't stand up and testify that the scriptures were false, would there be no such ending.
"Today is a good day for the queen mother, and it is not appropriate to see blood!" The emperor smiled and stepped forward to intercede for his concubine.
The Empress Dowager glanced at the emperor with a cold face, with dissatisfaction and reproach in her eyes, but she did not let go, "So the mourning family gave her a piece of white silk, and she couldn't see blood!" ”
The emperor sighed helplessly, and could only watch as Lian Meiren was pulled down, and when she pressed down, Lian Meiren wanted to say something, but she was gagged.
The arrogant and favored Lotus Beauty is gone, and since then there is one less person in the harem who has blocked herself, but Lotus Beauty is the person of Concubine Shu, and the death of such an undignified death also makes Concubine Shu's face gloomy, the queen is in a good mood, and pushed Xu Shu and said, "It's also that you are stupid, but if you can speak well, where will she be so embarrassed!" ”
The emperor was a little cold when he saw the scene, afraid of spoiling the interest of the Empress Dowager, so he said, "Miss Xu Jiu has a sincere heart, and the queen mother knows that it is all the lotus beauty who has caused trouble, so that Miss Xu Jiu has been wronged!" ”
Xu Shu knelt down and said, "Although Lian Meiren framed the courtier, but there is a lot of disrespect for the queen and the master in her words, and now the truth is revealed, and the queen has returned her innocence and kept the master's name, this is the most important thing, and the courtier's little grievance is not worth mentioning!" ”
The Empress Dowager felt more and more that Xu Shu was generally knowledgeable, and personally gave her a table to show her favor.
