Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dog Eats Dog
The Kunning Palace on the other side also got the news, Lin Minghua was not in a hurry, and carefully applied makeup to the bronze mirror.
"In order to protect himself, Lin Zhiyu sold such a big favor to this palace, which is quite interesting."
Putting down the makeup box, Lin Minghua looked at himself in the mirror and was very satisfied.
The person in the mirror, the tip of his nose is slightly red, and his autumn eyes are full of water, which is very moving.
"Mo Ju, help me mess up my hair a little."
Mo Ju stepped forward obediently and hooked out a few strands of hair, and the originally neat makeup gave birth to a bit of messy beauty for no reason.
"Niangniang, Father-in-law Zhang is here."
The palace maid came in to report.
"Ask him to come in."
Lin Minghua got up.
Father-in-law Zhang saluted Lin Minghua and said:
"I've seen the Queen Mother."
"Something happened in Weiyang Palace, the emperor felt that after all, she was the sister of the queen's mother, so he specially sent the old slave over to inform him and let the queen mother go over and have a look."
Lin Minghua nodded, indicating that he understood.
But she sneered in her heart, she really didn't guess wrong, Jiang Wanning really came for herself this time, but what she didn't expect was that she actually called the emperor first.
I really underestimated her.
"Emperor Lao is worried, and the palace has just gotten the news and is about to pass."
Lin Minghua said, and hurried out of Kunning Palace, looking anxious.
Not far away, Zhou Tingchen sat on the sedan chair and looked at her.
Lin Minghua accepted his look, smiled at him, and saluted him.
Zhou Tingchen personally came down and helped her into the sedan chair.
Father-in-law Zhang on the side sighed silently in his heart.
Prime Minister Lin Cheng is really blessed, the two daughters have a deep sisterhood, and they both married into the royal family. One is the queen, the other is the future princess of Jin, and the emperor is the plaice. In this Great Qin Country, who can compare? This is really envious of others.
Weiyang Palace.
Jiang Wanning was the first to arrive at Weiyang Palace, and her makeup was even more exquisite, and she even put on the colorful dark flower Yunjin Palace costume she had just made a few days ago.
Kitsune!
When Lin Minghua saw Jiang Wanning, he gritted his teeth in his heart, but he was still silent on the surface:
"Why is Concubine Ling here too?"
"Because of the rumors, this palace feels sorry for the big girl, and today I heard that the big girl is not feeling well, so I came to visit."
"Can you ask for a doctor?"
Zhou Tingchen saw the palace people coming in and out, his eyebrows were twisted, and his face was anxious.
"How do you take care of these subordinates? Go back to your respective housekeeper and grandmother to receive the punishment! ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Minghua secretly looked at Zhou Tingchen in surprise, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Why does the emperor care so much about Lin Zhiyu?
Zhou Tingchen seemed to notice that his attitude was a little ambiguous, and immediately accepted his look,
"Imperial Doctor Cheng, do you see anything?"
Imperial Physician Cheng happened to come out with the medicine box, bowed respectfully, and said:
"The big girl has a bad allergy to her face, so she thinks she used something that shouldn't be used."
"Oh? The things in the Weiyang Palace, except for the big girl herself, are the first in the palace, but the things that the big girl taboos are known to the Internal Affairs Office. ”
Jiang Wanning pretended to be surprised, glanced at Lin Minghua meaningfully, seemed to think of something, and whispered a little:
"Ah, could it be that someone is trying to harm the big girl?"
"Present all the things that the eldest girl uses every day, and let Imperial Doctor Cheng check them one by one."
Zhou Tingchen flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.
Qiaoxiu sorted out those bottles and cans early in the morning, and within a moment, she put everything in front of Imperial Doctor Cheng.
Among them, the copper-gilt plum blossom pattern incense box is very conspicuous.
Doctor Cheng opened them one by one, sniffed them carefully, and took the size of each soybean grain, and put them in the medicine bottles for inspection.
"Miss Qiaoxiu, where did this beauty cream come from?"
Imperial Physician Cheng asked, holding the incense box.
Without waiting for Qiaoxiu to answer, Jiang Wanning said sharply: "This is the queen's mother's reward, is it possible that you mean, is the queen's mother trying to harm the eldest girl?" ”
Imperial Physician Cheng seemed to be taken aback, and turned to kneel down to Zhou Tingchen, holding the incense box and said:
"This beauty cream has been added with a taste of rotten heart grass, and there is no big problem with short-term use, but if you use too much, it is enough to disfigure."
"The big girl's face is more sensitive to these irritating things, probably used together with other things, which catalyzes the symptoms so quickly."
Zhou Tingchen frowned, and looked at Lin Minghua with complicated eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
Lin Minghua listened to Jiang Wanning's words, as if he suddenly realized, "This beauty cream is not from the concubine, it was sent by Wei Shuyi a few days ago!" ”
"Wei Shuyi?"
Zhou Tingchen really has no impression of this person.
Father-in-law Zhang on the side stepped forward and reminded: "Wei Shuyi entered the palace with Xiuyuan Niangniang, and she has been favored a few times before. ”
As soon as he said this, Zhou Tingchen remembered.
It's just a little Qingzhou concubine, it's really bold!
"Call her!"
His voice was tinged with anger.
Lin Minghua seemed to think of something, and burst into tears again:
"The concubine didn't know what she had done wrong, which made Wei Shuyi so dissatisfied, it was precisely because she said that this beauty cream was rare that the concubine wanted to give it to her sister, although she was lucky enough to escape, but this heart was really uncomfortable!"
The beauty cried, and Lin Minghua was wrongly blamed just now, Zhou Tingchen was inevitably distressed, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted softly.
When Jiang Wanning saw such a scene, he was very unwilling, and he also carried a gun and a stick when he spoke:
"The material of this incense box is so valuable, how can Wei Shuyi have it? The queen mother is not looking for a substitute for the dead, right? ”
"How could Concubine Ling say that? What reason does this palace have to hurt his own sister? It's just that seeing that this incense box is beautiful, this is why people changed the beauty cream to a box. ”
Lin Minghua said it sincerely, and she deliberately messed up her hair before going out, which made everyone think that she forgot to tidy up her face because she was in a hurry.
On the other hand, Jiang Wanning looks like she is carefully dressed, her eyes are full of calculations, where is there a look of genuine concern for people?
Zhou Tingchen naturally thinks so.
He hates the intrigue of harem women the most, and he dares to calculate the people he cares about, does he really not want to live?
"Does the queen have the power of a prophet of the unknown?"
Zhou Tingchen grabbed Lin Minghua and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Wanning.
Jiang Wanning's eyes suddenly turned red.
scolded secretly in his heart: Lin Minghua, a foxy man, why can he let Zhou Tingchen come forward to defend her every time?
Since she was a child, her family has relied on her for everything, and after entering the palace, she has been favored for several months with her beauty, where has she been wronged like this?
It's all Lin Minghua, as soon as she entered the palace, she immediately took away Zhou Tingchen's favor for her, and she didn't stay in her bedroom for half a month.
"The concubine lost her words."
Jiang Wanning's expression visibly withered, and his hand unconsciously touched his cheek.
Is it really a decay and Aiways?
"I've seen the emperor and queen and Concubine Ling."
Wei Shuyi came in a hurry, but she still didn't forget the etiquette.
She is not beautiful, in Jiang Wanning's words, she has a small family spirit all over her body, so she is not very favored in the harem.
"Say, why do you want to add carrot grass to this beauty cream?"
Zhou Tingchen looked at Wei Shuyi, thinking of Lin Minghua's aggrieved appearance, he was also unrelenting, picked up the incense box and smashed it straight over.
Wei Shuyi didn't dare to hide, the corner of the incense box was sharp, and a wound was smashed on her forehead, and blood slowly flowed down her cheek.
Wei Shuyi immediately fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"The emperor spares his life, when the concubine made this beauty cream, because she was not very familiar with these herbs, she specially asked Concubine Ling, and she personally told the concubine that the rotten heart grass is just a scary name, but it is very good for the woman's skin, and the concubine made it for the queen."
As soon as Wei Shuyi's words came out, Lin Minghua was no longer flustered, and even a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
On the other hand, Jiang Wanning's heart was shocked, and he was covered in cold sweat.
