Chapter 32

Concubine Liu sat at the head with an ugly expression, and beside her was Concubine Rong who was indiscriminately happy and angry.

Concubine Liu was wearing bright palace attire, and she was more attentive than the last few times. She took a deep breath, "The queen mother will return to the palace soon, you must rush to find trouble at this juncture."

Concubine Rong yawned lazily, her expression was as cold as ice, "Check."

"Of course it needs to be investigated. Before the queen mother left the palace, she told you and me to take care of the harem well. How can you disappoint the queen mother?"

Curly Beauty heard the whole story, and at the moment she was frightened and wiped her face with a veil.

The white and tender face was rubbed red, "Which black-hearted bitch is so arrogant, openly tampering with the rouge and gouache on the offering, the two ladies must thoroughly investigate and give us sisters an explanation!"

"That's right, who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager loves color the most, if she returns to the palace and sees us all rotten, she will be furious!"

Chu Zhiyu hadn't expected that these concubines would be more nervous when they saw the Queen Mother than when they saw His Majesty the King of Qin.

Concubine Liu frowned when she saw the presumptuous appearance of the two beauties, Yunjuan and Yunshu.

"Go and call all the people from the Shang Palace Bureau, and bring the palace people and books who handled this batch of rouge."

Concubine Liu originally looked approachable, bright and generous, but now she acted in a serious manner so that people dared not interrupt.

Chu Zhiyu sat on one side and watched quietly, her face was pale and she looked panic-stricken.

Concubine Rong pinched the sachet on her waist, her gaze casually swept over Concubine Chu below.

He's a cunning one, let his maids reveal the matter, and involved many concubines, and asked those concubines who had no brains to rush forward, while he watched the fire from the other side.

"Reporting, ladies and gentlemen, the imperial physician has already experienced it. Only the rouge paste sent to Fuyu Palace is mixed with the juice of daffodils."

The rest of the concubines breathed a sigh of relief.

"what?"

Chu Zhiyu looked weakly and dependently at Concubine Liu and Concubine Rong above her, "You two elder sisters must decide for me."

Concubine Liu comforted her with a cup of hot tea, "Of course I have to give you an explanation."

With such a big battle, the people below were quickly brought over.

The female envoy who got involved in this matter knelt down with sweat on her forehead, "I would also like to ask you all to understand that this rouge is from the Jiangnan imperial merchants who entered the palace and unified Kaifeng. "

Concubine Liu nodded appreciatively, "Cuiying, you have always done things properly and carefully, that's good."

With Concubine Liu's words, the female envoy involved finally felt a little relieved, with a look of gratitude in her eyes.

"Come in."

Another six maids were escorted in, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the heavens can see that the servants have no intention of murdering your Majesty!"

The maid Cuiying pressed her lips, "Is it up to you to tell me when, where, and what you did!"

"The maidservant unsealed the box with her own hands, took out the rouge and registered it, and all the sisters were staring at her, so there was absolutely no chance of tampering with it."

"The servants sorted out the rouge paste and put them in the lacquer trays for the empresses of the palaces. I and the others can testify to each other."

"The servant is in charge of delivering rouge cream to Fuqu Palace..."

The last court lady watched the others testify against each other, and suddenly realized something, her lips trembled, and panicked, "But the slaves always walk along the palace road, and there are palace people passing by from time to time!"

"Then have you been exposed to the sun all the time? Have someone stared at you all the time?"

"This, this..." Naturally, it is impossible.

The rest of the court ladies looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding, "Since there are no witnesses all the time, it must be you who took the opportunity to tamper with Rouge!"

"No, no..."

The maid sat slumped on the ground, looking in disbelief at the sisters who seemed to be sending themselves to hell.

She cried and begged, but she couldn't say anything to defend herself, "Ma'am, please forgive me, it really wasn't done by the servant, it wasn't done by the servant, the servant was wronged..."

 Xiao Yu'er: I'm afraid - I pretend
