&nb Before the two Ronghua could achieve their goal, a plague broke out in the palace. Zidi was not infected, but Zhang Ronghua caught a cold and was almost mistaken for an epidemic. The days of those ten days were really thrilling, there were many people like Chu Huashang who were fishing in troubled waters, and Qi Chengyu even found that the cups served were used by the epidemic patients during the lunch of one day.
&nb The conspiracy of Empress Shangguan and Lin Yuan and others is certainly not something that people like them can know. However, when the epidemic passed and Empress Shangguan called for wind and rain again, she began to investigate the two of them thoroughly. On the night of March 20, the palace people around the queen broke into Huayang Palace and tied up the two Rong Hua and dragged them into Changxin Palace, threatening that the palace was searching for assassins, and some assassins identified and confessed to the two Rong Hua, so they would take them away for interrogation.
&nb At that time, Concubine Jing was seriously injured and did not take care of the council, and the emperor favored the queen, Shangguan Li actually tied up the two concubines and took them away openly, and no one dared to criticize him.
&nbFortunately, the queen didn't do anything with them. They were sent to the Criminal Justice Division to stay overnight, and the female official who was in charge of the punishment only slapped Zhang Ronghua a few times, and did not dare to move the punishment. However, the subordinates who served beside them were tortured by the queen and came out in a circle, and several palace maids who were close to them died in the Shen Penal Division.
&nb The two of them were finally released inexplicably, and Queen Shangguan gave a few boxes of silk to appease, and there was no further incident.
&nb, however, this experience made the two completely frightened. Because when the head of the Shen Criminal Division slapped Zhang Yihuan, he did not ask about the whereabouts of the assassin, but asked her: "What's the matter with the box of Jialan rouge that Zhaoyi gave to the queen!" β
&nb Zhang Yihuan didn't know it, but Qi Chengyu reacted in an instant - it was Lin Yuan who did something that shouldn't have been done with this box of rouge and offended the queen!
&nb Zhang Yihuan is a timid and cowardly woman, and she has already cried in front of Lin Yuan at this time. Lin Yuan looked at it for a long time, pointed at Qi Chengyu and said, "Drag Zhang Ronghua up." Crying and crying, the subordinates of Huayang Palace noticed it, and I thought I came to bully the two of you. β
&nb Zhang Yihuan was frightened by Lin Yuan early, and without waiting for her sisters to help, she got up and covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry anymore. Lin Yuan said to her coldly: "Zhang Ronghua, it's just a box of rouge, and the palace will give it to the queen." β
&nb said that his eyebrows were rolling, and he actually laughed out loud: "The Jialan produced in Siam, the smell and color are far better than those of the Xia Kingdom, you offer such a generous gift, the palace is very happy but does not dare to enjoy it alone, so naturally it is given to the queen again." Well, the queen seems to have known that this thing originally came from the two of you, and I think the queen will reward you greatly. β
&nb "Zhaoyi Niangniang! Qi Ronghua suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yuan's sleeve. If it weren't for Huayang Palace, she would have wanted to kneel down and kowtow at this time. Her fingers trembled, and she pleaded with pleading, "Mother...... Spare us. β
&nb Lin Yuan forcefully pulled his sleeve out of Qi's hand.
&nb When Qi Chengyu supported Zhang's favor, she didn't have any big ambitions, and now she has lost some weight compared to last year, but she still stands out among the concubines.
&nbHer fingers were a little thick, and it took Lin Yuan a long time to break them open.
&nb Qi Chengyu didn't dare to catch it again, and stood and begged. She knew how scary the Zhaoyi lady in front of her was, but with the movement of her fingers, she could make the two of them doomed.
&nb's words were all picked out by these two people, and Lin Yuan couldn't hide it anymore. She sighed softly, took out a small ivory white box carved with Jialan from her sleeve, and gently placed it in Qi Chengyu's hand: "Qi Ronghua, it's not that this palace wants to get along with you, it's just that you are too dishonest, and this palace has to ......."
&nb When she took the rouge to Chonghua Palace and wanted to force Shangguan Li to death, she didn't give away the whole box. She left half of the box with the original ivory box, waiting for it to be useful later.
&nb said with a light smile: "So now, are the two Ronghua willing to tell the truth?" Would you like to tell Hongu the origin of this box of rouge? β
&nb Lin Yuan's voice was light, but Zhang Ronghua was trembling.
&nb Qi Chengyu also shook his hands: "I don't dare to hide it from my mother, in fact...... In fact, we didn't know the beauty of this box of rouge, and the two of us got this box of rouge by accident. It is precisely because we want to find out the mystery in the rouge that we present the things to Zhaoyi Niangniang, and we want to use the power of Niangniang to verify. What Zhaoyi Niangniang wants to ask, we don't know ......"
&nb: "It seems that Qi Ronghua is still not honest enough. Lin Yuan turned around and brushed his sleeves: "That's it." The palace has already visited Concubine Jing, and the imperial doctor is busy in it at this time, so the palace will go to report to the emperor first. β
&nb Lin Yuan's visit to Concubine Jing is routine, as long as she comes to show up, she can be labeled as "in charge of the palace and caring for the concubine". There are still a lot of chores in the Invitation Moon Tower, and the show girls who were enthroned together with the Yundan princess are not very peaceful, and there are a lot of messy things waiting for her.
&nb The two Rong Hua in the Hehuan Hall were still standing tremblingly, seeing Lin Yuan gone, Qi Chengyu didn't know what to do for a while. She would never tell the secrets that could cause disaster unless she had to.
&nb However now......
&nb Hui Zhaoyi made a plan at the beginning! She's just going to force the two of them to tell the truth!
&nb gritted her teeth, she pulled Zhang Yihuan and chased him out. Lin Yuan's sedan chair was fast, and the two chased them to the vicinity of Lintoe Palace before catching up. Lin Yuan ignored them, and was busy looking through the roster of show girls in a hurry, and the two didn't dare to intervene, so they followed Lin Yuan's sedan chair.
&nb waited until they arrived at the Yuzhao Palace, and Lin Yuan invited them into the palace gate. Mingren didn't say dark words, she ordered Chu Xue to go out to guard the door, and asked Qi Chengyu as soon as she opened her mouth: "Let's talk about it first, where did the rouge come from." β
&nb Qi Chengyu dared to hesitate, and poured beans into the bamboo tube and said: "Jialan rouge is priceless, when Queen Shangguan has not returned to the palace at that time, only the queen mother, the queen, Concubine Jing, and Niangniang can use it in the palace." The box in our hands is exactly what Queen Xiao once used, Queen Xiao...... What she likes is Siam Jialan, which is more expensive than Xia Guojialan, and the emperor respects Empress Xiao and responds to such small things. β
&nb Lin Yuan's heart was relieved, and sure enough, it was Queen Xiao.
&nb"So how did you get the rouge?" She stared at Qi Chengyu.
&nb Qi Chengyu smiled wryly. She put the box that Lin Yuan stuffed into her hand on the bookcase, and then took out an identical box from her sleeve. She opened it, picked out a little bit of it with a silver hairpin, and even wiped it on the back of her hand, and said to Lin Yuan: "Actually, there are two boxes of rouge...... This box for Niangniang is a good one, and we dare not disadvantage Niangniang. But another box ......"
&nb She said, picked up the small golden hammer that smashed walnuts on Lin Yuan's case, and smashed it the box.
&nbThe precious ivory was torn apart, but Lin Yuan's eyes widened, looking at the strangeness in the box in disbelief.
&nbIt was a special box cover, with a thin layer inside itβa mezzanine.
&nb She looked at Qi Chengyu's hand again: "You...... Something is wrong with this thing, and you still dare to rub it on yourself? β
&nb: "This is what the concubines and the Zhang family are really afraid of. Qi Chengyu sighed long: "The box has a mezzanine, which is naturally weird." In order to find out what was wrong with the rouge in the box, we tried our best...... If we can't find out, we won't find a way out of it. In the end, I had no choice but to risk my life, even if I would be poisoned, it would be better than being killed. But...... It was because I didn't feel any discomfort after applying the rouge that we were even more desperate. β
&nb Lin Yuan looked at Qi Chengyu's hand again, as well as the silver hairpin in her hand - everything was normal. And the aroma of rouge is the same as the other box.
&nb Qi Chengyu continued: "Empress Xiao has been using this rouge for some years, and she used it when I entered the palace seven years ago. Later, the queen died in childbirth, and the relics in the Changxin Palace were taken away by the emperor, including eight boxes of Jialan rouge and a large number of rare treasures were buried in the emperor's mausoleum. Empress Xiao's funeral was solemn, and she was accompanied by more than 300 selected eunuchs and palace maids...... On the way to the funeral, dozens of mourners refused to die, causing trouble, and although they were quickly beheaded by the sergeants, in the chaos they crashed a cartload of valuable funeral goods into the moat, including eight boxes of rouge. β
&nb"Zhang Ronghua's father was a military general of the Beijing Terracotta Division, and he happened to take people to deal with those disobedient palace people at that time. Afterwards, Mr. Zhang picked up some burial goods under the river, and Mr. Zhang kept an eye on it, and did not report the things, but threw them all into the river, and told the emperor that all the things had been washed away by the water. β
&nb "Even though Lord Zhang intends to avoid the harem dispute, Concubine Jing still knows that Lord Zhang once salvaged the funeral goods, and she has her eyes on Zhang Yihuan......"
&nb When Lin Yuan heard this, she interrupted her and said, "Wait, do you mean Concubine Jing?" β
&nb Mentioning Concubine Jing, Zhang Ronghua on the side covered his face and squatted down, crying again. Qi Chengyu said: "Concubine Jing wants to get rid of Zhang Yihuan...... A few months after Empress Xiao's death, the sixth prince was poisoned. Concubine Jing grounded many concubines on the grounds of thoroughly investigating the matter, but only dragged Zhang Yihuan to the cold palace to be hanged! Concubine Jing was competing for the rear position at that time, and she didn't dare to be executed openly, so she wanted to hang Yihuan first and then say that she committed suicide in fear of sin. That time, I forced each other to die and forced Concubine Jing to let go of the Zhang family in the cold palace, otherwise the two concubines would 'commit suicide' together, and the emperor would also investigate thoroughly. β
&nb" Lord Zhang learned that Yi Huan was finally involved, and in desperation, he quietly found a credible person to check some of the funeral goods left in his hand, and found out that one of the two boxes of rouge had a mezzanine. The other box is in perfect condition. The box of malchievous rouge invited Lang Zhong to look at it again, but he couldn't see anything. Lord Zhang desperately sent two boxes of rouge into the palace to Zhang Yihuan, let us check...... So far, we can only fight with our lives, as long as we find out the strangeness in the rouge, we can turn against Concubine Jing. If we can't find out, with Concubine Jing's pomp, we all have to die. β
&nb "The concubine really has no choice, so she offended Zhaoyi Niangniang...... The interlayer in that box of rouge would not have been discovered if it had not been smashed with a hammer. And whether there is a mystery in the rouge, the concubine can't find out. The only thing that is certain is Concubine Jing. She was so desperate to want to die, and it was these two boxes of rouge that caused the trouble. β
&nb Lin Yuan listened to this long story. Zhang Yihuan cried so much that his sideburns were scattered, and Qi Chengyu's face was also pale.
