Chapter 39 The Big Picture
Seeing this, Chun Xing was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

The queen looked down at Chun Xing, and gently lifted Chun Xing's chin with a hand wearing a golden hollowed-out ruby ​​inlaid armor.

"No matter which one of you master and servant stole Tang's side concubine, I don't want people to spread the news that there is a concubine in the East Palace who is a thief. This is not good for the East Palace or the crown prince."

"As a court lady, you should put the overall situation first. Why don't you protect the lord and take care of everything by yourself? This palace will make Tang's side concubine feel wronged, and only punish you alone. I won't hold your master accountable. Let your master not be punished. You how about?"

After hearing this, the concubine Tang side refused in her heart.

She invited the queen to preside over the overall situation, but she didn't really let the queen put the overall situation first!
Although she always knew that the Empress was a person who cared about the overall situation, she thought that the aunt-nephew relationship between her and the Empress would definitely be more important than the overall situation.

But since the queen has said this, even if she is very unwilling in her heart, she can only express her position obediently.

"Empress Mother is the one who is considerate. The concubine is reckless in this matter, so I will obey the empress mother. As long as Chun Xing pleads guilty, the concubine will only pursue her."

"Did you hear what Concubine Tang said?" The queen let go of Chun Xing's chin, and sat down on the head, "Think carefully."

Chun Xing knelt on the ground, thinking about what the queen and Tang side concubine had said.

If as long as she pleaded guilty, the young master would be safe and sound, then she would definitely be willing!

So, Chun Xing held her lips, "Okay, I"

"Chun Xing, don't admit it." Jiang Shishi stopped Chun Xing.

If Chun Xing admits it, not only will she be punished, but she will also have a reputation as a thief in the future. How will she survive in the palace that values ​​fame?

"If you don't admit it, then drag it out and beat it until you plead guilty!" The queen ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, Chun Xing was detained by the palace maid and eunuch.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

At this moment, the sound of singing and reporting came from outside.

The next moment, the prince entered the hall, and the concubines saluted the prince.

Pei Xuanling didn't care about his concubines, but bowed to the queen who was at the top.

The queen walked up to the prince and helped him up with her own hands.

She is a stepmother and queen, and she should treat the prince with kindness and restraint.

After Pei Xuanling got up, he seemed to be chatting with the empress about family life, "I don't even know when the empress came to the East Palace."

"I just came here." The queen pulled the crown prince, and the two sat down on top. "Tang side concubine said that something happened in the East Palace. She and Ruan side concubine couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they wanted to ask me to come over and preside over the overall situation."

Immediately afterwards, she also told the prince about Tang's side concubine's loss of things.

At the end, she also said: "Although the things were found in the Shiyue Pavilion, I believe that Jiang Meiren did not do it. I only plan to torture her palace maid!"

"Since the box is different, it means there is something wrong." After hearing what the queen said, Pei Xuanling immediately noticed something was wrong, and sent someone to show him the box.

Soon, Xia Liu presented the powder box to the prince.

After Pei Xuanling took it, he opened the lid of the box with his slender fingertips, and saw some fine and shiny powder inside.

This reminded her of the makeup Jiang Meiren put on when she left the palace last time, it was so shiny.

Pei Xuanling closed the lid of the box and looked at Concubine Tang, "I ask you, when did your brother give you rouge and gouache?"

"He was given to my concubine by someone from the palace yesterday." Although the concubine Tang didn't know why the prince asked these questions, she still answered truthfully.

"Well, I'll tell you, I saw this powder box in Jiang Meiren's house a few days ago, and just the day before, when Jiang Meiren and Gu left the palace, they even smeared this bright powder on their faces. .”
