Half a quarter of an hour later.

All the concubines arrived at Ningci Palace, looked at each other, and were suddenly summoned, and no one knew what was happening.

The Queen Mother's expression is peaceful and charitable, and today she is also serious, and she explained the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

"No matter who it is, as long as it is found that the Buddha statue has been defiled by the mourning family, the mourning family will be severely punished!" The Queen Mother's voice revealed a sense of majesty.

Lan Ruoxuan stood quietly and listened, for some reason, she always felt that this thing was strange.

"Queen, I heard that you are in the palace, but you have been burning incense for many years?"

Kou Shu lowered her head, as if she hadn't noticed anything: "After returning to my mother, the Internal Affairs Office does send heavenly incense to Changle Palace every month. ”

The Queen Mother snorted and continued: "In this palace, is it only you in Changle Palace who is using this day incense?" ”

Kou Shu nodded: "Since the queen mother doesn't use it, that's it." ”

The Queen Mother's slender willow eyebrows were raised, and she suddenly shouted angrily: "Then you should explain to me why the stains on the Buddha statue are the smoke marks of heavenly incense?" ”

Feeling the anger of the Queen Mother, everyone in the room knelt down in unison. Only Kou Shu and Lan Ruoxuan were standing. Lan Ruoxuan received special care because of her miscarriage, but Kou Shu stood upright like this, as if she didn't feel the imposing anger of the superior at all.

"Queen Mother, let me ask, is the smoke mark on the Buddha statue really caused by the incense of heaven?" Kou Shu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was in great trouble.

Mama Meng on the side interjected in a timely manner: "Queen Mother, the reason why Tian Xiang Fu is named Tian Xiang Fu is because there is a taste of Tian Xiang Huo, which is a unique strange grass in the Western Regions, and there are two peculiarities about this grass, one is because it has a unique fragrance, and the other is because after this grass is burned, it presents a faint green-purple smoke, not ordinary black smoke. The smoke marks on the Buddha statue are not black, but blue and purple, which is the unique trace of this flavor of heavenly vanilla. ”

"I see. Hearing this, Kou Shu nodded thoughtfully, and smiled secretly in her heart, the person behind the scenes really tried his best to frame himself.

Seeing Kou Shu's unhurried appearance, the Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied: "Queen, you have listened and asked, now you should give an explanation to the mourning family, right?" The incense is from your palace on this day, and you can run to the Buddha statue with a good end, what's going on? ”

Kou Shu smiled faintly, there was no panic in her eyes, and she bent her knees slightly and said: "What the queen mother said is extremely true, but there is still something unknown about the son-in-law. ”

The Queen Mother's voice was even colder: "What's the matter?" ”

"The queen mother wants her sons to be responsible, because of two things, first, this Buddha statue has the smoke marks of heavenly incense, and second, in the entire palace, only the sons of the palace have heavenly incense." Kou Shu peeled off the cocoon, and her tone was very calm.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but nodded: "That's right." ”

"Now, firstly, Mama Meng has already made it very clear that the smoke marks on the Buddha statue are undoubtedly caused by the heavenly incense," Kou Shu slowly stretched out two fingers, "But second, there is heavenly incense in the Erchen Palace, but this is not the case." ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "What are you talking about, Queen, you admitted it yourself just now, and the heavenly incense is only available in your palace." ”

Kou Shu smiled and said, "Yes, but no." After that, he bent his knees slightly, and said: "The queen mother, the son will not sell the guanzi, but these words are said by the son, I am afraid it is still difficult to be convincing, it is better to bother the queen mother to invite the imperial doctor to come, and send someone to the palace of the son to get the smoked oil, the imperial doctor will test, and the truth will be revealed." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked people to do so.

Today, the Tai Hospital was on duty with Imperial Doctor Liu, and as soon as he heard the Queen Mother's call, he hurried to the medicine box with his hand. Seeing the warblers and swallows in this room, all kinds of fat powder fragrance came to the face, and there was a unique fragrance that stood out among the chickens, which was very extraordinary.

Seeing Imperial Physician Liu coming, Kou Shu stepped forward and pointed to the incense that had just been taken on the desk and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, please take a look at whether this incense is heavenly incense." ”

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liu bowed his head slightly and approached the incense. After carefully observing for a long time, he stretched out his hand and gently brushed the incense around, closed his eyes and sniffed carefully. After thinking for a while, there was an expression of extreme confusion on his face.

A smile flashed in Kou Shu's eyes.

"How? Doctor Liu, is this incense a heavenly incense? The Queen Mother's voice came slowly.

Imperial Physician Liu pondered for a moment again: "This incense is not exactly heavenly incense. ”

"Not exactly? What does that mean? The Queen Mother was a little puzzled.

Imperial Physician Liu stepped back slightly, and arched his hand and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, this incense is based on the heavenly incense, and the addition of Fusu, musk, ambergris, peony and other herbs are reconstituted, so Weichen said that this incense is not exactly heavenly incense." ”

A look of disappointment flashed on the face of Concubine Qiong, who was kneeling not far away.

Kou Shu smiled faintly and curtled her knees: "The queen mother is not used to this incense, and the sons also feel that the smell of incense is too strong, so they ordered someone to use this incense as the base tone early and add eighteen herbs to remake it." The incense sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be sent directly to the incense pavilion at the West Gate for processing and then sent to Changle Palace. As for the newly made ......"

The smile in Kou Shu's eyes deepened, and she gently raised a palace lamp, took a letter and lit it, and suddenly it lit up with black smoke: "This newly made incense has always burned black smoke, not the green smoke burned by heavenly incense." ”

The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and immediately reacted to the greasy situation, her eyes were round, and she shouted angrily: "Who is playing the mourning family, if it is found out by the mourning family, it will not be spared!" ”

"The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life!" With a pop, a palace maid behind him suddenly knelt down, "It was the slave maid who went to the Internal Affairs Office yesterday, and she accidentally got it on her body, and she got it when she wiped the Buddha statue in the morning." It was the fault of the slave and maid that he disturbed the Buddha. ”

This is full of loopholes, heavenly incense is an extremely valuable spice, how can an ordinary girl be contaminated at will, and besides, what Mama Meng said clearly is that the smoke marks are burning, not caused by contamination.

This girl is clearly pushed out to take the blame, but since someone has already come forward, it means that this person has been vigilant, if she chases and beats hard, I am afraid that I will not be able to find out anything for a while.

The Queen Mother was a little annoyed, she was so excited that she only found such a small role, and she couldn't help waving her hand: "Pull it down, cut it." The girl's expression tightened, and just as she wanted to kneel down to justify, a strip of cloth had been stuffed into her mouth, and she was put down on the left and right.
