Chapter 29 Dog bites dog

Kunning Palace on the other side also got the news. Lin Minghua took his time and applied makeup carefully in front of the bronze mirror.

"In order to protect himself, Lin Zhiyu gave me such a big favor, which is quite sensible."

Putting down the makeup box, Lin Minghua looked at himself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.

The person in the mirror has a slightly red nose and a pair of autumn eyes full of water, which is very moving.

"Mo Ju, help me mess up my hair."

Mo Ju obeyed the order and stepped forward, pulling out a few strands of hair. The originally neat makeup became a bit messy for no reason.

"Mother, Eunuch Zhang is here."

The palace maid came in to announce.

"Invite him in."

Lin Minghua stood up.

Eunuch Zhang saluted Lin Minghua and said:
  "I've met the Queen."

"Something happened at Weiyang Palace. The emperor felt that she was the queen's sister after all, so he specially sent an old slave to inform him and ask the queen to come and take a look."

Lin Minghua nodded, indicating that he understood.

She sneered in her heart. She really guessed right. Jiang Wanning really came for her this time. But what she didn't expect was that she actually called the emperor over first.

I really underestimated her.

"Your Majesty is worried. I have just received the news and am about to go over."

Lin Minghua said and hurried out of Kunning Palace, looking anxious.

Not far away, Zhou Tingchen was sitting on a sedan chair, looking towards her.

Lin Minghua calmed down, smiled at him, and saluted him.

Zhou Tingchen came down personally, helped her get on the sedan chair and drove her out.

Eunuch Zhang on the side sighed silently in his heart.

Prime Minister Lin is so lucky. His two daughters have such a deep love for each other that they both married into the royal family. One is the queen, and the other is the future Princess Jin and the empress. I wonder who in this great Qin country can compare? This really makes others envious.

Weiyang Palace.

Jiang Wanning was the first to arrive at Weiyang Palace, and her makeup was even more exquisite. She even put on the colorful and dark floral Yunjin palace dress she had just made a few days ago.

Fox Meizi!
  When Lin Minghua saw Jiang Wanning, he gritted his teeth in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm:

"Why is Concubine Ling here too?"

"Because of the rumors, I feel sorry for the eldest lady. Today I heard that the eldest lady is not feeling well, so I came here to visit."

"Can the imperial doctor be invited?"

When Zhou Tingchen saw the palace people coming in and out, his eyebrows knitted together with an anxious look on his face.

"How do you take care of these servants? Go back to your respective stewards to receive their punishment!"

As soon as he said these words, Lin Minghua secretly looked at Zhou Tingchen in surprise, and couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.

Why does the emperor care so much about Lin Zhiyu?
  Zhou Tingchen seemed to realize that his attitude was a bit ambiguous, and immediately calmed down.
  "Mr. Cheng, do you see anything?"

Doctor Cheng happened to come out carrying the medicine box, bowed respectfully and said:
  "The eldest girl has severe allergies on her face. She probably used something that she shouldn't have used."

"Oh? The things in Weiyang Palace, except for those brought by the eldest girl herself, belong to the palace, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows all the things that the eldest lady is taboo about."

Jiang Wanning pretended to be surprised and gave Lin Minghua a meaningful look. She seemed to have thought of something and whispered:
  "Ah, is it possible that someone wants to harm the eldest girl?"

"Send all the things that the eldest lady uses every day and let Doctor Cheng check them one by one."

Zhou Tingchen flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.

Qiao Xiu had sorted out the bottles and jars early in the morning, and within a moment, she put them all in front of Doctor Cheng.

Among them, the gilt copper plum blossom pattern incense box is very conspicuous.

Imperial Physician Cheng opened them one by one, smelled them carefully, and then took pieces the size of soybeans and put them into the medicine bottles one by one for inspection.

"Miss Qiaoxiu, where does this beauty cream come from?"

Doctor Cheng asked, holding the incense box. Without waiting for Qiao Xiu's reply, Jiang Wanning said sharply: "This is a reward from the Queen. Do you mean that the Queen wants to harm the eldest girl?"

Doctor Cheng seemed to be startled, then he knelt down to Zhou Tingchen, held up the incense box and said:

"Someone has added some rotten grass into this beauty cream. There is no big problem if you use it for a short period of time, but if you use too much, it will be enough to disfigure your face."

"The older girl's face is more sensitive to these irritating things. She probably used them together with other things, which caused the symptoms so quickly."

Zhou Tingchen frowned and looked at Lin Minghua with complicated eyes.

"emperor!"

After hearing Jiang Wanning's words, Lin Minghua seemed to suddenly realize, "This beauty cream does not belong to my concubine, it was sent by Wei Shuyi a few days ago!"

"Wei Shuyi?"

Zhou Tingchen really had no impression of this person.

Eunuch Zhang on the side stepped forward and reminded: "Wei Shuyi entered the palace together with Empress Xiuyuan, and she has been favored several times before."

After saying this, Zhou Tingchen remembered.

She is just a concubine of a small Qingzhou magistrate, so audacious!

"Call her here!"

His voice was tinged with anger.

Lin Minghua seemed to have thought of something and shed tears again:
  "I don't know what I did wrong to make Wei Shuyi so dissatisfied. It was precisely because she said this beauty cream was rare that I thought of giving it to my sister. Although I was lucky enough to escape, I felt really uncomfortable! "

The beauty shed tears, and because he had just wrongly blamed Lin Minghua, Zhou Tingchen couldn't help but feel distressed. He gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and comforted her softly.

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Wanning was very unwilling and spoke with a gun and a stick:

"The material of this incense box is so valuable, how could Wei Shuyi have it? Is the Queen looking for a scapegoat?"

"How could Concubine Ling say that? What reason did I have to harm my own sister? I just saw the beauty of this incense box, so I asked someone to change the beauty cream to a different 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 appearance because of her anxiety.

On the other hand, Jiang Wanning looked well-groomed and had a calculated look in her eyes. How could she show genuine care for others?

Zhou Tingchen naturally felt the same way.

What he hates the most is the intrigue among the women in the harem, and how dare they plot against the people he cares about. Does he really not want to live anymore?

"Does the Queen have the ability to predict the future?"

Zhou Tingchen took Lin Minghua in his arms and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Wanning.

Jiang Wanning's eyes suddenly turned red.

She secretly cursed in her heart: Lin Minghua, a foxy girl, why can Zhou Tingchen come forward to defend her every time?

Growing up, her family always relied on her for everything, and after entering the palace, she was favored by her for several months because of her beauty. How could she have ever suffered such injustice?
  It was all Lin Minghua. As soon as she entered the palace, she immediately took away Zhou Tingchen's love for her. He didn't stay in her palace for half a month. After finally coming, she failed to live up to expectations and came to Kuishui, so Jiang Tong Miao made a mistake.

"I made a mistake."

Jiang Wanning's expression visibly weakened, and her hand unconsciously touched her cheek.

Is it really true that lust has faded and love has faded?
  "I have met the Emperor, Queen and Concubine Ling."

Wei Shuyi came in a hurry, but still did not forget the etiquette.

She is not very pretty. In Jiang Wanning's words, she has a petty air about her, so she is not very favored in the harem.

"Tell me, why do you add rotten grass to this beauty cream?"

Zhou Tingchen looked at Wei Shuyi, thinking of Lin Minghua's grievance, and showed no mercy. He picked up the incense box and smashed it.

Wei Shuyi did not dare to hide. The sharp edge of the incense box made a wound on her forehead, and blood slowly flowed down her cheek.

Wei Shuyi immediately fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me. When I made this beauty cream, because I was not familiar with these medicinal herbs, I specifically asked Concubine Ling. She personally told me that the name of the rotten grass is scary, and it is not good for women's skin. But it is very beneficial, so I made it and gave it to the Queen."

As soon as Wei Shuyi said these words, Lin Minghua no longer panicked, and there was even a glint of pride in his eyes.

On the other side, Jiang Wanning was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
