famous concubine

Chapter 68 Destruction (2)
Drink, wrap, baby!

Although neither the guards on duty that day nor the manager in charge of the Wanbao Tower directly proved that the blue and white porcelain was given to Dongfang Yu after Feng Yu secretly took it out of the palace.

But few people present did not make such associations.

A prince, or a hot prince, took great pains to steal a blue and white porcelain from the palace to please a woman, what does this mean?

All the ladies were filled with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Dongfangyu, and one of them almost secretly gritted his silver teeth.

"Aunt Liu!" All the ladies were falling into various associations, when they suddenly heard the empress order lightly: "You call all the ladies to the banquet hall first, the dinner party is about to begin."

The ladies left the imperial garden with both joy and regret. They stood here for two hours in vain without eating or drinking. Seeing that things were getting more and more intriguing, the queen suddenly remembered the Hundred Flowers Banquet again.

Helpless, they are queens, and if they are told to go east, they will definitely not dare to go west.

Dongfangyu was naturally left alone in Fengqi Palace, even if the bracelet in front of her could not be convicted because of her sophistry, but the matter of tribute, seeing that she could not get rid of it no matter what.

Naturally, she was not afraid of the queen, but there was some doubt in her heart. She absolutely did not believe that Feng Yu would steal the tribute to her, but all the conclusive evidence in front of her clearly couldn't be denied.

In this situation... how will she and Feng Yu break the ice and get out of the predicament?
The ladies were taken to the banquet, Dongfang Yu and other personnel related to the tribute were all escorted to Fengqi Palace.

As soon as she entered Fengqi Palace, the queen detained several people outside, and she herself ran to the bedroom to rest.

The queen took a nap for a while, and when she reappeared, her exhausted expression was gone, and her face was radiant again, maintaining a dignified and noble image.

Mother Zhu, as the witness of the report, was also taken to Fengqi Palace. When she saw the empress walking out gracefully and dignifiedly with phoenix eyes, she quickly gritted her teeth and said, "Empress empress, I want to recommend a witness to you. Do you need to invite him in?"

"Oh, what can he do?" The queen narrowed her phoenix eyes lightly, and looked at Zhu's tall and thin figure noncommittally.

Zhu's mother lowered her head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in charge of the Ming Dynasty. This servant thinks that Your Majesty needs to summon an experienced expert to verify whether this blue and white porcelain is genuine. Maybe the person recommended by this servant can help, because he has dozens of Years of experience running an antique store.”

The queen raised her eyebrows lightly, and the tearful mole under the corner of her eye immediately flashed a wicked light: "Oh, since that's the case, let him come in, let's meet."

After a while, the maid of honor led a middle-aged man of medium build in, and there was nothing outstanding about this man.

Dongfang Yu raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that although this man bowed his head and raised his brows, his eyes flickered, obviously he was not a kind person.

"The grass people have kowtowed to the empress empress for ten thousand years, and the empress will live for a thousand years."

The girl raised her eyebrows lazily, looking at the man kneeling on the knees and prostrating his head and shouting three thousand years old.There was a chill in my heart, Tsk, this guy is clearly a sycophant, some kind of expert in appraising antiques.

"Exemption." The queen's face was calm and dignified, and her eyes were calm and sharp, "I heard that you are an expert in authenticating antiques, so now you can appraise this blue and white porcelain. Is this blue and white porcelain a fake or a genuine one?"

"Yes, empress." Wannian stood up, bowed his head, raised his eyebrows and his eyes were shining, and walked to the blue and white porcelain that Zhu's mother brought into the palace to report the Oriental language.

He stood up very attentively.

Dongfang Yu smiled coldly and silently, it seemed that this guy was a bit of an expert, but he didn't know how to do it.

"Hey, this blue and white porcelain..." Wannian touched it professionally, then raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at the queen hesitantly.

The queen's voice was calm, but she did not lose her intimidating aura at all: "It's okay to speak up if you have something to say."

"Yes!" Wannian's expression was reserved and respectful, but his eyes kept flickering, "This blue and white porcelain is definitely genuine; Cao Min was surprised that Cao Min had seen this one more than two months ago. Blue and white porcelain."

The queen raised her phoenix eyes slightly, cast a half-smile on his face, "Oh?"

Wan Nian gritted his teeth, and said with a bold expression: "Ms. Hui, Cao Min is actually the second shopkeeper of Guxiangzhai."

Guxiangzhai?
Dongfang Yu frowned, and felt a slight chill in her heart. She has been the hands-off shopkeeper for several months, but she still hasn't forgotten that she is the owner of Guxiangzhai.

Madame is really capable, she was able to find out about Gu Xiangzhai.

The queen's goal is really that peacock?Cleaning her up just incidentally?
While thinking, Wannian said again: "Just a few months ago, the owner of Guxiangzhai changed hands and became a young master."

Speaking of this, Wannian's shining eyes suddenly showed a strange look, "At first, the grassroots didn't know his real identity, but one day about two months ago, that young master suddenly appeared in Guxiangzhai Discussing things secretly with the big shopkeeper, at that time, Cao Min happened to see this blue-and-white porcelain, and was excited for a while, so when they were not paying attention, they secretly watched this blue-and-white porcelain carefully..."

Wannian licked his shriveled lips, his eyes sparkled, and he said: "Later, Caomin overheard the big shopkeeper calling something Your Highness, and also heard that this blue and white porcelain was going to be given to an oriental girl... Secretly paying attention, Cao Min suddenly noticed something. Since changing the owner, the business of Guxiangzhai has not been much better than before, but the income has increased several times, but there is nothing wrong with it on the account. ..."

"Caomin felt that this was weird, and then quietly paid attention to the shopkeeper and the young master, and Caomin noticed a secret thing. The shopkeeper had a secret ledger in his hand, and the records in the ledger were rare in the market. Jewelry, one time Caomin got some secretly to check, and found that those jewels turned out to be from the palace; Caomin knew that stealing and selling items from the palace was a capital offense, and thinking about the family members, young and old, Caomin panicked Endlessly..."

Clear account?Dark account?Stealing and selling items in the palace?

It's impossible for Feng Yu to do such a stupid thing like digging a hole to bury himself?Didn't he say that he only needs to sell one painting every month, which is enough to exchange for a mountain of gold and silver?

The girl's mind was spinning, secretly thinking about the authenticity of the words of this man who claimed to be the second shopkeeper of Guxiangzhai.

"That's why you put your heart out and sued me here, wanting to protect yourself wisely?"

"Caomin knows that doing this...is not righteous, but for the sake of the family...Caomin implores the empress to spare Caomin's family."

"Forgive your family?" The queen smiled coldly, the cold light in the phoenix eyes stirred, and the tearful mole under the corner of the eye slightly lit up with a demonic light, "It depends on whether you have the determination to make amends."

"Determination?" Wannian was stunned, then he reached into his arms and took out a booklet, raised the booklet above his head with both hands, and said very respectfully: "Please check carefully, this booklet is the booklet that the grass people risked their lives to get out of." The hidden tent stolen from the treasurer's hand is the most important evidence, please have a look at the empress."
