Concubine Mad Queen

"Reporting to the emperor, concubine and empress, the slave found out."

Just as the queen was questioning, the guards who searched Fanmei Palace also appeared again, holding something in their hands, Zhong Mei's complexion changed drastically, and the other concubines also stared closely.

However, the guards also presented two items, one of which was obviously rouge and gouache, a very small box, but when it was opened, it was as shiny as black ink. The queen directly handed it to Imperial Physician Huang and Imperial Physician Han, who studied it.

The other one is two ingots of gold and two gold hairpins, which are somewhat similar to Quan'er's style, but they are different. However, the one in Zhong Mei's hand contains the symbol of rank, while the one in Quan'er's is just ordinary. , the style is similar, but the comparison between the two can obviously be seen as high or low.But compared to the ordinary Miss Qianjin's jewelry, it's not bad, but it's also very strange.

Doctor Huang said: "Go back to the empress dowager empress, there are indeed some raw materials of Wushi powder in this rouge."

The queen's complexion changed drastically and she said to the guards: "You can search the inside and outside of Fanmei Palace."

"Go back to your mother, only the locked warehouse of Fanmei Palace has not been searched yet."

The queen caressed the pearl hairpin that was trembling due to anger, and said sternly: "Check, destroy the lock and search!"

Emperor Tianxuan has sat silently, without any expression on his face, but those who know him know that he is the most dangerous at this time, the other concubines dare not speak, watch their noses and noses, and dare not say.

And who knows what bell eyebrows are in that rouge, she didn't learn this, she paid a lot of money for this rouge, how could she know that it has become one of her incriminating evidence.

Now Zhong Mei is very flustered, always feeling that there is no hope in the future, she said anxiously: "Empress, concubine... I feel that this matter must have something to do with Princess Cang."

The queen squinted at her and let out an "oh".

Zhong Mei couldn't control the queen's intentions for this behavior, and said impatiently: "Before, Cang Wang's son was almost wronged because of Concubine Hong's miscarriage, but she didn't have any enmity with Concubine Hong, but resented Concubine Hong. I suspect that Concubine Tu was also involved, Concubine Tu was almost betrothed to King Cang before entering the palace, this has always been a thorn in Princess Cang's heart, she is taking revenge, and wants to kill concubine with two birds with one stone!"

As soon as Zhong Mei said those words, even Emperor Tianxuan opened his eyes abruptly.

Tu Eqiu has already entered the palace, and he didn't know much about the matter before, it was not very glorious after all, and after that, Tu Eqiu really entered the palace and drafted to become the woman of Emperor Tianxuan, those who don't know, hear this Wouldn't it be said that father and son are fighting for a daughter?

This is not a good thing for Emperor Tianxuan or Yun Cang, and it is too late to hide.

But Zhong Mei's words brought Tu Eqiu and Yun Cang Bingyan into the ditch.Not only has Tu Eqiu had a miscarriage now, but because of her affair with Yun Cang, Bingyan may have made her attack with jealousy. Emperor Tianxuan really doesn't have any hiccups for her?

What Zhong Mei said didn't have much credibility, and it wasn't very relevant. After all, Hong Meiyu had a miscarriage, but Zhong Mei was punished for this matter, so it had nothing to do with Tu Eqiu on the surface.

But people always think about some things that seem to be not, but the more they think about it, the more suspicious they become, and the more convinced they are. People in this palace tend to be suspicious, and they don't fully admit Zhong Mei's words, but they can't help but think in their hearts .

Zhong Mei continued her efforts: "Princess Cang used to borrow the palace as an excuse to find concubine in private, thinking that concubine would be thrown into the cold palace because of the previous incident. Concubine Cang deeply felt that concubine would be unwilling and resentful because of this. So I want my concubine to help her to do this. The concubine has already sternly refused at that time, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

Zhong Mei's tears fell "swish", she somewhat showed her true feelings, but she was not sad, but frightened.

Many people knew about Bingyan's entry into the palace before, but whoever he saw was on the bright side, and no one could see what was going on, but Zhong Mei bit back and pushed everything to Bingyan Yan's words directly disturbed the water again.

Zhong Mei has no other choice now, as long as she can protect herself first, and it is the time of the negotiation, and then ask Zhong Zhi to intercede, Zhong Mei's matter may be reduced to a minor one, otherwise she was put into limbo before, why would she It's released.Now that she has a scapegoat, her crimes are less, and she can even be a victim for a while. Before Hong Meiyu gave birth to Emperor Tianxuan, she was promoted to her position, so Zhong Mei thought, even if she didn't, she would be reborn because of regret and guilt. Doting on her is also a good thing.

The more he thought about it, the more Zhong Mei felt that things would be easy to handle, and the more he looked forward to it.

Zhong Mei sobbed softly: "Princess Cang is very skilled in medicine. How many people know about the five stone powder in these rouges? If it was her who did it, it would be unnoticed. Concubine Really wronged."

Zhong Mei was crying half lying on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking weak and helpless.

Tianxuanxiu squinted at Zhong Mei, his eyes flickering constantly, but his expression remained as calm as the wind.

The Empress looked at Zhong Mei's singing, reciting and beating in a somewhat vague way, and her acting was more vivid than that of an actor. She was thinking about how likely it was that Bingyan could be involved in this matter.

The Empress looked at Emperor Tianxuan hesitantly: "Your Majesty, look at this... do you want Princess Xuancang to come into the palace and ask?"

Emperor Tianxuan looked back at the Empress, but did not speak, but there was no expression in his eyes, and the Empress was not sure what Emperor Tianxuan meant, and looked forward to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was already holding the Buddhist beads The gloves were rolling slowly without knowing when, and the eyebrows and eyes were slightly lowered, as if they had already settled down, and what the queen wanted to say was immediately stuck.

Concubine Yun Gui had been watching quietly, looking at Zhong Mei's appearance, but now she sneered: "There are not many sisters in the palace who don't know about Concubine Cang's entry into the palace."

In terms of secret words, Bingyan never met behind anyone's back, and the private meeting was just the time when she met the queen before, even if she entered the palace, she never got along with Zhongmei in private, and she didn't enter Fanmei Palace, so what about Bingyan The one who stuffed things into Fanmei Palace.

The Queen scanned the evidence collected from Quan'er and Zhong Mei, and said in a deep voice: "Who controls the badges in Fanmei Palace? Is there a record, bring it to Ben Gong to see."

Generally, this kind of control is done by the eunuchs, and the distribution of items in the palace is controlled by one place.

Like Yun Cang and the ministers who go to court and enter the palace every day, they also need special waist cards, but some like Yun Cang can just brush their faces, and the guards don't do much management.And each palace in the palace will also give customized waist cards, because they will be locked regularly at night, so the palace people's waist cards are linked to each palace, the number of waist cards is limited, and each person has one.

After a while, the waist badge booklet was brought up, and the empress directly checked the waist badge records of Fanmei Palace. There are many people in this palace, and it is inevitable that the waist badge is lost or damaged. Naturally, it is impossible to give you a waist badge. No more, waist badges are distributed uniformly, if you don't have one, you can't get another one, and you won't be able to walk in the palace.If it is lost and cannot be found, it is natural to have to get another one, but the previous one will be credited as lost.

And in Fanmei Palace for so long, a total of three people have lost their badges. It just so happens that Quaner once lost one, and later ordered another one. At that time, Fanmei Palace was thrown into limbo because of Zhong Mei. At that time, the palace maid was assigned other tasks, so all the original waist cards had to be handed in. Quan'er's was taken back, but she had another one in her hand.

There will be records of Quan'er's lost waist card, and she lost her waist card, because she was afraid that there was something dirty in it, Fanmei Palace must know, even if it is such a trivial matter, Zhong Mei I don't care about it, but the maids or those in charge under her must also know about this, and they must report the loss and replace it with the person who lost the waist badge.Therefore, the people in Fanmei Palace should have confirmed that Quan'er was indeed lost, and helped her get it.

But isn't it self-defeating now, she is not a maid of Fanmei Palace, but now she is working in Xuan'e Palace, but she has this Fanmei Palace waist card.Quan'er is not a well-known figure in the palace, because there are too many palace people in the palace, no one has that kind of memory, all the palace people can remember.

Generally, the celebrities around the masters of the palaces are remembered. Quan'er is quite clever in Xuan'e Palace, but Tu Eqiu has no impression of her, and it's just that the grand maid must remember it for the convenience of management. In order to calculate Quan'er Who made a waist card on purpose?

What's more, how long has it been? With this waist card, Quan'er was able to enter and leave the Fanmei Palace in disguise. They are the only ones who know what happened.

"Empress, the slave has something to present." The guard who searched the Fanmei Palace came back at this time, knelt down and raised his hands, and said: "The slave looked carefully in the warehouse and found several pieces in the dark compartment of a box. Pack powder."

When the Queen heard this, she waved her hand directly to let Imperial Physician Huang and Imperial Physician Han look over. The two of them looked it up, and their expressions changed drastically.

Doctor Huang reported with a serious expression: "Go back to the emperor's concubine and empress, and I will check these things. There are things that have been prepared with five stones, and there are safflower and very well-preserved musk!"

The people in the hall were startled. They had checked the five stones, and it seemed nothing strange to find out, but there were safflower and musk. Didn’t they get in touch with Hong Meiyu who killed them back then? What else could Zhong Mei have? Said.

Zhong Mei's face was ashamed: "No, there is no concubine, concubine dare to swear to God, concubine did not do it, if you violate this vow and receive any cruel punishment, concubine is wronged!" Zhong Mei burst into tears, just now After being released from the cold palace, how did this happen to him?

And this ring of evidence was sent up, and the matter of Bingyan she said before was self-defeating.

How secretive is hidden in the dark compartment of the box in the warehouse, even the maids closest to Zhong Mei can't go in without incident, how can Bingyan hide things in there?

But at this moment, Emperor Tianxuan grabbed the teacup in his hand, and the fire-breathing anger made him grab it and throw it at Zhong Mei viciously!
