102. True or false
There are countless concubines in the harem, how could a little beautiful queen mother look at it in her eyes, just as she came to flatter the emperor in order to please the emperor, she didn't raise her eyelids and said, "Speak!" ”
Renmei looked up and pointed to the "Myoho-renge-kyo" that the Empress Dowager placed at her side like a treasure, "This sutra is fake!" ”
The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned, "Oh? After a sigh, after being surprised, she instantly returned to calm, compared to Lian Meiren, it was obvious that she trusted Xu Shu and the Miao Fan Master behind Xu Shu more.
Lian Meiren lowered her head and secretly glanced at Xu Shu, but Xu Shu was talking happily with the Wan family on the side, Lian Meiren gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine happened to meet Miss Xu Jiu on the way here, I heard that she was going to dedicate this scripture to you, the concubine was greedy for a while, so she borrowed it and took a look, and accidentally left a rouge mark on the scripture, but when Miss Xu Jiu offered the book, the concubine did not see any mark on the book!" ”
Anyway, the real work has been torn up by her, so Lian Meiren can lie unscrupulously, even if Xu Shu knows that she is lying, she doesn't dare to debunk it, once it is exposed, Xu Shu can't escape the punishment of bullying the king.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning when she heard what Lotus Beauty said, she didn't like Lotus Beauty's attitude, it was obviously something she offered to herself, but she wanted to take a strong look, she didn't know how to measure! But he also listened to the words of the lotus beauty, took the scriptures and looked at it, it was really clean, although the paper was slightly old, but there were no other marks, the queen mother's brows couldn't help frowning a little tighter, looked up at Xu Shu, and finally asked Xiaoluzi to invite Xu Shu over.
Xiao Luzi led Xu Shu to stand beside the lotus beauty, Xu Shu saluted and asked sideways, "Is it the lotus beauty?" ”
Lian Meiren smiled proudly, "Exactly! ”
Xu Shu also smiled, "What a coincidence, the courtiers just met you next to Qiudiyuan before, and I still remember the smell of incense powder on your body!" ”
It's Akigien again!
The Empress Dowager looked at the lotus beauty, and a wisp of panic flashed on the lotus beauty's face, and the empress dowager had a plan in her heart, but she was more concerned about the authenticity of the scriptures in her hand.
"Lotus Beauty said that the "Myoho-renge-kyo" you dedicated to the mourning family is fake, and the mourning family doesn't believe it, but the Lotus beauty doesn't give up, so the mourning family will ask you to confront her to prove your innocence!" The Empress Dowager said very lovingly.
Xu Shu opened her mouth in surprise, "How can it be fake?" After the master gave it to me, I have been taking it for a long time, and no one has seen it, until I entered the palace today, the lotus beauty has to see it, and the courtiers can't bear it, so I have to show it to the beauty! ”
Xu Shu's words confirmed Lian Meiren's lies, and Lian Meiren became more and more proud, knowing that Xu Shu didn't have the courage to expose her lies, "Master Miaofan is a master in the world, it is impossible to deceive the Empress Dowager with a forged scripture, it must be Miss Xu Jiu, you covet this scripture and want to take it for yourself, so you secretly swapped it with a fake!" ”
Xu Shu shook her head, "It's not like this, it's just borrowing a thousand and ten thousand guts from the courtiers, and the courtiers don't dare to have delusional thoughts about the things of the Empress Dowager, and the mothers will check clearly!" This book is really from the master to the courtiers! ”
Lian Meiren snorted, "According to what you say, this fake scripture was also given to you by your master?" ”
"Master, her old man is even more unlikely to deceive the Empress Dowager!" Xu Shu waved her hand again and again, "If the courtiers really have the heart to keep this rare book for themselves, they will replace it at home as soon as possible, so why bring it into the palace and do it again?" ”
Lian Meiren was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she quickly thought of a rebuttal, "Since you said that you don't show this scripture to anyone, but you only showed it to me, that is, after this fake scripture was discovered, someone can prove that you did bring the real one into the palace, but at the same time, you also brought the fake one in!" But you didn't think that the mark I left on the original work would become evidence of your deeds! ”
There is some truth in this statement, even the Queen Mother nodded almost invisibly, because the voice of the lotus beauty was too loud, the people around her, including the emperor and queen, couldn't help but quiet down and looked at the main seat, and the people who sat down a little farther down also quieted down and looked over, but for a moment, the lively atmosphere of the audience suddenly turned into whispers, all speculating about what happened above.
Xu Shu, who was accused by Lian Meiren, did not panic, but asked Lian Meiren rhetorically, "If it is true as the beauty said, I have brought both genuine and forged works, and I have dedicated the forged ones to the Empress Dowager, then the authentic works must still be on me, and I am willing to accept a body search to prove my innocence!" ”
Xu Shu said justifiably, without a weak heart, Lian Meiren glanced at Xu Shu's clothes, and did not find where to hide a scripture, she suddenly became a little anxious, and saw the queen in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that Xu Shu entered the palace with the queen, and said busily, "Since Miss Xu Jiu dares to ask for a body search, it means that the real scriptures are no longer on her, and even if you search them, you can't find them!" ”
"If that's the case, so what?" The Empress Dowager asked in a deep voice.
Lian Meiren had no choice but to pull the queen into the water, "Miss Xu Jiu entered the palace with the queen mother just now, maybe...... Maybe...... The real work has been given to the queen by Miss Xu Jiu! ”
"Nonsense!" The queen was furious and reprimanded sharply, but she stopped under the quiet and meaningful gaze of the queen mother.
With the support of the Empress Dowager, Lian Meiren is even more confident, "Miss Xu Jiu said that she got lost near Qiudiyuan, which is still far away from Kunning Palace, Queen Mother, you said that you were sick and left the table, how could you meet Miss Xu Jiu by chance?" ”
"Nonsense!" The queen sneered, also left her seat, and walked in front of the empress dowager, "What else does the palace want to ask you?" Lian Meiren, you live in the Ivy Pavilion next to the Zhongcui Palace, in the middle of this banquet parlor and Qiu Di Yuan, you want to come here, but you pass by Qiu Di Yuan, it can be said that it is the opposite of each other, this palace and ask you, how did you go to Qiu Di Yuan? ”
"Isn't it okay for a concubine to just walk around?" Lotus Beauty is strong and reasonable.
"Just take a walk?" The queen sneered, "I just walked casually and happened to walk to Qiu Diyuan, and I also met Miss Xu Jiu who was lost, and it was time to read the scriptures that Miss Xu Jiu wanted to enter the Empress Dowager, and then this book became fake, and this palace should suspect that you deceived Miss Xu Jiu into not being able to see and secretly dropped the bag!" ”
The queen's speculation is not unreasonable!
The Empress Dowager's suspicious gaze fell on Lian Meiren, and Lian Meiren hurriedly explained, "There are no concubines, no concubines!" ”
The queen chased after her and asked, "Since you don't have it, why don't you come with Miss Xu Jiu, who is also coming here?" Why did you leave her there and come alone? ”
