Emperor Zhou was invited out, and a pair of tiger eyes swept over everyone. When his eyes fell on Chen Guiren and Lin Guiren, there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.
He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up. His eyes fell directly on Lin Qingge: "I don't have time to play with you. If it turns out that you were the one who did something, you won't be clear about the crime, right?"
The words were spoken to Lin Qingge, but they were aimed at Chu Nanfeng.
He took a step forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is irrefutable evidence that it was Zhuo Jing who did it. I am willing to accept any punishment."
Lin Qingge's fingers under her long sleeves shrank slightly, and her heartbeat in her chest skipped a beat.
Staring at his back, she deeply felt his protection for her, which was even more shocking than his appearance when she was about to be pushed out and beheaded.
She never felt that she needed to be protected. She could find a solution to anything, it was just a matter of time. Even if he didn't enter the palace, she still believed that she could get out of this complicated environment.
She doesn't need it, she doesn't even care.
But at this moment, she actually coveted the warmth he brought her when he stood in front of her.
Lin Qingge raised her head and looked at Emperor Zhou, whose face was already filled with anger even though he didn't show it clearly: "Your Majesty, if there is anything wrong with the beauty cream, you will know after a test. The envoy of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Doctor Yu, has an upright character. Let him test it, and it will definitely be correct." Can’t go wrong.”
Emperor Zhou waved his hand, and Han Yue immediately understood, entered the inner hall, and invited Yu Shouzheng, who was guarding the Queen Mother, out.
Yu Shouzheng never showed up, and he didn't know much about the outside world.
He didn't talk nonsense. He took the beauty cream and put it under his nose with his fingertips to smell it. After several times, he said in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the preparations of these four bottles of beauty cream are very different. The last bottle contains high-quality astragalus. , which has the effect of whitening and moisturizing the skin. As for the remaining three bottles, they contain herbs that are extremely harmful to the human body. They can cause ringworm or even ulcers on the face."
"What else do you have to say?" Emperor Zhou looked at Lin Qingge with fierce eyes.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Imperial Physician Yu a question. Except for the bottle of beauty cream that Eunuch Han just bought from Yixiaotang, can the contents in the other three bottles be the same?"
"Judging from the smell and color, they should be consistent." Yu Shouzheng replied.
"Then the effect after use should be the same, right? Why did Concubine An only get a rash, but the other two nobles' faces were ruined." Lin Qingge's voice was not loud, but it fell in Concubine An's ears like morning bells and evening drums.
Her hands suddenly grasped the hem of her skirt, and her breathing became faster.
Beauty cream is a good thing, Lin Qingge must get rid of it, and Concubine An is naturally reluctant to add medicine to the beauty cream she uses. Just now, Lin Qingge forced Caiyue to go back and get it. In fact, she was just tampering with the beauty cream, and she didn't want to be caught making mistakes.
But she has been in the harem for many years, so she is not easily scared: "Maybe this thing has different effects on different people. After all, not everyone will die if they get exposed to arsenic."
"What the empress said is that individual differences are huge. This alone cannot explain anything." Lin Qingge followed her words, "Yu Imperial Physician, did you ask for the imperial concubine's pulse just now?"
"It's me." Yu Shouzheng nodded.
"Then I dare to ask, according to my pulse, why is there such red ringworm on my face?"
"this……"
Doctor Yu was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Your Majesty's lungs are weak, and she is very susceptible to allergies when drinking white tea. Just after checking her pulse, she found that there is cold air in her body, so the rash on her face should not be caused by the beauty cream."
There are all smart people present, and they have all said it to this point. Is there anyone who still doesn’t know what’s going on?
It's hard to say whether there is any problem with the beauty cream. The situation in Changchun Palace must have been designed by Concubine An.
Lin Qingge saw Concubine An's rapid breathing causing the gauze in front of her to rise and fall slightly, and sneered in her heart: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen Mother also suffered from physical discomfort due to the beauty cream. Could you please take out the box of beauty cream and let Doctor Yu examine it? The ingredients in it.”
The Queen Mother was Emperor Zhou's biological mother, and Emperor Zhou valued filial piety very highly.
She didn't believe that Concubine An was so bold that she dared to use drastic measures against the Queen Mother.
This is the first step to prove whether there is anything wrong with the beauty cream she sent.
But before Emperor Zhou could speak, Yu Shouzheng spoke: "Your Majesty, I have already experienced the beauty cream used by the Queen Mother. It is no different from the one that Eunuch Han bought just now."
Lin Qingge: "..."
There is no doubt about Yu Shouzheng's uprightness. He can never be a chess piece planted by Concubine An just to kill herself at this moment.
Is it possible that the Queen Mother is the accident of accidents, with a sensitive constitution?
If this is really the case, God is really going to kill her today.
Not only would she be unable to leave the palace, but Chu Nanfeng would also be damaged here.
No, she didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world.
"Your Majesty, I would like to personally test the beauty cream."
Just as Lin Qingge opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Concubine An: "Your Majesty, before I heard that this woman was cunning and cunning, I didn't believe it, but today I completely believe it. I don't know what trick she used to throw dirty water on me. .Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, and you still want to make a fuss about the Queen Mother, you must not believe her."
Emperor Zhou was so smart that he could naturally see that Concubine An's problem was just Lin Qingge's, so he didn't need to care.
What's more, if he can attack Chu Nanfeng through Jin Tai's matter, it would be a dream for him.
The problem is that he is not sure what purpose Chu Nanfeng has in waking up at this juncture and entering the palace to protect his wedding wife.
After hesitation, an old but extremely majestic voice sounded: "Isn't it just to check a bottle of beauty cream? Give it to her."
As the voice sounded, a woman over sixty years old was helped out.
He has silver hair and a lot of wrinkles on his face, but his skin is still fair, except for a very obvious red rash on his cheek.
Emperor Zhou immediately stood up and stepped forward to help him, and the others also knelt down to pay tribute.
"Your Majesty, this harem hasn't been so lively for a long time. The Ai family feels it's time to take charge."
"That's what the Queen Mother said."
Emperor Zhou and the Empress Dowager performed a show of loving mother and filial piety, but Lin Qingge smelled the familiar fragrance of medicine in the air, as well as the coughing sound that was difficult to ignore.
He raised his eyelids slightly and looked over, and found Zhou Chenghan who was following the Empress Dowager. He knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager would appear and had something to do with him.
Before she had time to think about it, the Empress Dowager's voice sounded: "Girl, look at this beauty cream. The Ai family is old, and they want to take a look. Who is plotting this, and can it be plotted against the Ai family."
The kind voice was filled with a hint of coldness, penetrating every pore, but Lin Qingge ignored it and reached out to take the beauty cream handed over by the palace maid for inspection.
Just one glance made her feel cold. From the color to the smell, it was indeed the same as the beauty cream she made.
