Zheng Qing died in Yunxiang Palace on a rainy night. When a palace maid went to clean and change her clothes, she saw that her empty eyes looked even more hideous.

Nangong Yihan ordered Zheng Qing's father to enter the palace to collect his daughter's body and go back for burial, even if they knew that their daughter had suffered inhuman treatment, they couldn't say anything, after all, it was Zheng Qing's fault first.

The women in the palace are like flowers, some are in bloom, and some are decaying. Of the original nine people, there are only eight left in just a few months, and the only one on the concubine throne is also crumbling.

After Concubine De was disfigured, she has been hiding in the palace and refusing to come out to see people, which really makes Chu Lixue feel a lot more relieved, as long as those women are honest and do their duty, she will not mind a few concubines with empty titles.

This day is Nangong Yihan's birthday, originally I didn't want to be extravagant, but the other three countries all sent people to send congratulatory gifts, if you don't put down the banquet, then Beichen will be laughed at, this time, the face project is also very important.

Just when Nangong Yihan found the envoys of various countries in the Chonghua Palace, Concubine De was wearing a light blue white gauze dress, and the peach silk thread embroidered a plum blossom in full bloom, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but also gave people a feeling of elegance and luxury.

With a milky white jade bracelet on his hand, a surprisingly long hair with purple and white ribbons curled out of a slightly complicated hairstyle, it really lived up to this beautiful and surprisingly strange hair, exuding a charming fragrance, and a jade hairpin made of jade was inserted in the hair bun, and it was ingenious to make the appearance of green bamboo with leaves, which really made people think that she brought a green bamboo on her head, and the thin and long bangs in front of her forehead were neat and rigorous.

A pair of carbon black willow eyebrows, but also set off the skin fair and delicate, charming and charming Danfeng eyes in the eye waves between the brilliance, the application of pink rouge to make the skin appear white and red, the lips are simply smeared with light red lip red, the whole face looks particularly beautiful, and the fairy like a man who is contaminated with a trace of dust suddenly lost his soul.

The sudden appearance of Concubine De amazed the audience, and even Chu Lixue was a little lost her soul when she saw such a Concubine De. Seeing this, the prince of Nanchu laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it is said how the queen of Beichen is captivating the country and the city, but according to this king, the queen is beautiful but lacks a little taste." And this lady is full of charm. ”

Hearing someone praise herself like this, Concubine De covered her lips and chuckled, she never thought that some people would say that she was more beautiful than the queen, but now when she heard such praise, she was even more forgetful.

"This prince is really joking, the beauty of the queen mother is unparalleled in the world, and now it is just because she is pregnant with the imperial heir, her body is a little bulkier than before, and after the prince is born, the queen mother is still the most beautiful beauty in Beichen." Concubine De smiled lightly.

Phew, what is the most beautiful beauty in Beichen, she Chu Lixue doesn't like these false names. But what made her very puzzled was that Concubine De's face had obviously been disfigured, so how could she change so much in such a short period of time without Hanjiang helping her?

Just thinking about it, Chu Lixue smelled a faint aroma, which was difficult to distinguish which one it was. Rean Xue and Wanyue seemed to sense that something was wrong, and immediately quickly sealed several acupoints on Nangong Yihan and Chu Lixue's bodies, and then took out a small medicine bottle from their sleeves, took out a lilac pearlescent pill inside, and fed it into the mouths of the two.

The pill melted in her mouth, and Chu Lixue quickly felt refreshed, but when she looked at Concubine De carefully, she found that the fat powder on her face was thickly smeared and was falling off the slag.

"Rean Xue, what happened to me just now?" Chu Lixue said softly.

"Niangniang, you have taken a drug, but fortunately, this drug is not profound, it is just a trick by Concubine De to confuse everyone." Remnant Xue said lightly.

What the? A trick to confuse the crowd? How could this Concubine De have such a means, besides, her beauty has long been lost, and now she just relies on fat powder to cover the scars on her face, but why did she look at Concubine De so dazzling just now?

"What kind of medicine can make people see a different Concubine De?"

"Niangniang, in fact, it's nothing, it's just that I used something similar to Wushisan, didn't Niangniang smell a faint fragrance just now? That's the material used in the drug, the fragrance is a psychedelic effect, even if the mother sees a toad, she will feel like she has seen a fairy. ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue was really taken aback, she really didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the world, but Concubine De had been hiding in her palace and refused to see anyone, how did she get such a thing.

Chu Lixue didn't care whether Concubine De's appearance was beautiful or ugly, what she cared about was how Concubine De crossed the palace and got such a drug into the palace.

"Wanyue, has Concubine De's family ever entered the palace recently?"

"Hui Niangniang, no, it's just that Concubine De recently chose a little palace maid from another palace to stay by her side to serve." Wanyue said lightly.

Chose a little palace maid to serve by his side? Concubine De is already serving Xiaoyu and Xiaotong close to her, and there are several other rough palace maids and mothers-in-law, why do you have to choose people from other palaces to serve by your side. Even her dignified mother of a country is only three people who serve her closely.

Suddenly, Chu Lixue thought of something, the injury on Concubine De's face was originally incurable, but the appearance of this little palace maid made Concubine De change. Then the origin of this little palace maid is open to discussion.

"Wanyue, do you know who that little palace maid is?"

"Niangniang, this little palace maid is a palace maid who has just entered the palace to serve, as for her origin, the slave maid has quietly sneaked into the Shanggong Bureau to check, but the address she filled in, the slave maid has checked, and it is already a pile of ruins."

Hearing this, Chu Lixue couldn't help but gasp, the palace maid's home was already a pile of ruins? This proves even more that the origin of this little palace maid is not so simple.

If it is a palace maid who really enters the palace to serve, the government will verify her identity, and then she will be assigned to work everywhere in the palace through the Shang Palace Bureau, and she has only been in the palace for a short time, and it is not easy to win the favor of Concubine De.

What's more, her appearance is also the time when Concubine De's appearance is miraculously restored. How did such a person sneak into the palace, what was the identity of the person she was impersonating, and what was the ultimate purpose of her entering the palace?

A series of questions made Chu Lixue feel that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, "Wanyue, keep an eye on that palace maid, don't stop her movements, and report me if she finds out." Chu Lixue said lightly.

At present, the enemy is clear and secret, and if you want to catch the other party's pigtails, you must let her relax her vigilance, otherwise scratching a small fish and shrimp will not give a better answer to this matter.

"Concubine De, this king toasts you with a cup, and I wish you eternal beauty." The prince of Nanchu smiled lightly. Immediately, he tilted his head and poured the wine into his stomach.

"Thank you, Prince Nanchu." Concubine De said with a smile.

"Concubine De, you have a drink with the prince of Nanchu, then I have to drink a cup in Dongyu, you can't favor one over the other."

"Of course, Prince Dongyu, this palace also toasts you. How about the peaceful coexistence of several of our countries? Concubine De smiled lightly.

Although the courtiers were very dissatisfied with Concubine De's behavior of drinking with the princes of other countries, it was indeed not an easy thing to have someone who could drink and laugh with them at the moment when the relationship between several countries was tense.

"Concubine De, before you return to your seat, you are the emperor's concubine, not a girl in the Qinglou, what kind of style is it to drink with a strange man like this." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Concubine De's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "Queen Mother, you misunderstood the concubine, the concubine is also for the diplomatic relations of several countries, the prince has already toasted the concubine, if the concubine ignores it, wouldn't it be very rude?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes of Southern Chu and Eastern Chongqing echoed each other, and this move really angered Chu Lixue. Even if Concubine De likes to be so sought after, she must have a degree, after all, her current identity is still the imperial concubine.

"Rean Xue, are these people confused? If the palace makes them sober up now, it will make Beichen a joke, and if they don't come to their senses, Concubine De's behavior will be even more undignified. ”

"Don't worry, such drugs are for a certain period of time, and drinking alcohol is the biggest taboo." Rean Xue said with a look of watching a good show.

"Drinking alcohol is the biggest taboo? What does that mean? Chu Lixue wondered.

"Niangniang, didn't you smell the fragrance?"

"yes, didn't you say that the fragrance is the medicine that works?"

"That's right, but the dead end of this medicine is wine, and the alcohol will reduce the effectiveness of the drug, and it will slowly be revealed."

Hearing this, Chu Lixue frowned slightly, this Concubine De, since she dares to use such a method, doesn't she know what the taboo of this method is? After a while, the effect of the drink will slowly fade from the drug, and her ugliness will be revealed in front of everyone. For the sake of Beichen's dignity, she would never let such a thing happen.

Thinking of this, Chu Lixue picked up the wine jug and said with a smile: "Concubine De, there is not much wine in your hand, this palace is pregnant, it is not suitable to drink, you have to entertain more distinguished guests for this palace." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

Hearing Chu Lixue say this to herself, Concubine De's face was filled with joy that she couldn't hide, and then she moved lightly and walked towards Chu Lixue's table.
