Concubine An finally calmed down after seeing Lin Qingge's slightly stiff expression.
Ignoring the Queen Mother, she sat next to her and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the fact that everyone in the harem has ringworm must have something to do with her. I am afraid that the items in her beauty cream are of varying quality, and the effects will vary from person to person. "
The art of speaking has been mastered by her.
Not only did it put a bad hat on Lin Qingge's head, but it also completely denied the beauty cream, and even showed that the slight effect on her was a problem with Yixiaotang's formula.
Each stab was harder than the last, and Lin Qingge really had to die.
But how could Lin Qingge be so easily manipulated? She didn't believe that her past and present achievements, coupled with her careful research and development, would lead to such a problem.
She doesn't have a problem, it's other people who have problems.
"My Lady, why are you so anxious? Whether or not there is something wrong with this bottle of beauty cream cannot be determined by just looking at it. After all, there are many colorless and odorless things in the world, and many of them are poisonous. Perhaps, it is mixed with Miscellaneous."
"Perhaps?" Concubine An ignored the presence of Emperor Zhou and the Queen Mother and sneered, "The things came from Yixiaotang. As the owner of Yixiaotang, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Your Majesty, I am trying to prove my innocence. How can I be ridiculous? Your Majesty is pressing on me every step of the way. Is she afraid that I will prove that this matter really has nothing to do with me?"
Compared to Concubine An, who was emotionally unstable, Lin Qingge was extremely calm.
A pair of clear eyes are like mirror-like water, without any ripples, but with eager anticipation.
Concubine An wanted to escape, but her status could not be compromised by a little girl.
When she was about to rebuke, the Queen Mother spoke: "Let her go for a test, but there is no problem. Now it's just a few words. Why are you anxious? There is really a problem. How do you want to deal with her? No. Can?"
The tone was light and there was no blame, but Concubine An immediately stopped and lowered her head and said, "Please atone for your sins. It's my daughter-in-law who is arrogant."
"Young people should be a little arrogant. At your age, you are already over it." The Queen Mother said lightly and raised her chin to Lin Qingge, "Little girl, let's test it. But you have to remember, if you can't test it, problem, you won’t have a chance.”
"I understand."
Lin Qingge took a deep breath, pulled off the hairpin on her head, picked up a little beauty cream and put it to the tip of her nose. There was indeed no weird smell, and even the color of the cream had not changed.
There are many colorless and odorless things, but there are not many things that can have such an effect when mixed into a paste. Mixing various items together always produces unexpected effects.
Unless, it's something like that.
It's just that this thing itself is not very toxic and has little value. Few people understand it, right?
The key is that if the bet is wrong, she will lose more than just her head.
"What should I do?" Chu Nanfeng's voice was low, as if it was just a casual question. It had the same effect as 'I believe you' in her ears, and once again caused ripples in her heart.
Raising her head to meet his eyes, she suddenly remembered the sentence buried deep in her memory, "Although there is no hope of losing one's life, we may end up in the end of the world." Suddenly she couldn't help but smile, and all the burdens in her heart were let go.
"I need clean water with a little salt in it. Nothing else."
In the palace, the items required for verification cannot be obtained in person. Who knows how many tricks may be hidden inside?
Having watched the palace fighting drama, she spoke very seriously.
Zhou Chenghan said with a slight cough: "Since it is so important, it is better for Xiao Wang to prepare. I just don't know if the young lady is at ease."
Lin Qingge felt a flock of crows flying overhead. Why did she feel that since Chu Nanfeng took off his mask, the personalities of everyone around him had changed drastically.
Is it really appropriate for Zhou Chenghan to say this in front of the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhou?
But speaking of it, this huge Cining Palace was packed with people. It was impossible for Chu Nanfeng to really prepare. The only one he could trust was Zhou Chenghan.
"The King of Qin's words are serious, and I will naturally believe them."
Concubine An was worried that Lin Qingge would really detect something: "Chenghan, there are so many palace people here, why do you need the prince to do these things? Besides, you are not in good health, so you should rest."
Unfortunately, she hadn't arranged for Caiyue to go, so Zhou Chenghan motioned to the boy to hand over a water bag: "The imperial concubine is unaware of something. Ahem, Xiao Wang suffers from an old disease and cannot drink tea at will, so he has to carry some plain water with him."
As he spoke, he opened it and took a sip, then handed it to Lin Qingge: "Don't worry, young lady, Xiao Wang's body can only drink water."
Lin Qingge didn't bother to investigate whether he could only drink water, but his behavior proved that it was just water.
Lin Qingge took the teacup on the table, poured the water into the water bag, and sprinkled in the salt handed to her by the nun in the Queen Mother's Palace.
Soon, the white crystals dissipated and a glass of salt water appeared.
She used a hairpin to pick up a little bit of the beauty cream from the Queen Mother and Yixiaotang respectively, put it into the two tea lids, and then slowly poured the water in.
After a cup of tea, the water in the lid where the Queen Mother Beauty Balm was placed turned yellow to the naked eye, while the water in the other lid showed no change.
correct!
Lin Qingge breathed a sigh of relief: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please take a look. The Queen Mother's beauty cream was mixed with other things. This should be the reason for the rash on the Queen Mother's face. As for why the Queen Mother got this beauty cream, It is less toxic and difficult to detect, which is related to the identity of the Queen Mother."
"How do I know you didn't set it up on purpose?" Concubine An said.
"The imperial concubine was joking. I did give Mrs. Lin a hundred cans of beauty cream as a gift. But I didn't know she was going to give it away, let alone who she was going to give it to. How could I put different medicines in different beauty creams? Speaking of which, after all, Who knows better who uses each jar of beauty cream?”
Lin Qingge's words basically came close to saying Concubine An's name, and Emperor Zhou's face became extremely ugly.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case, I am not." Concubine An was a little flustered, but she glanced at Mrs. Lin and Lin Qiuyue standing in the corner and said immediately, "They have already divided each jar of beauty cream, I am not." I sent it as requested. I didn’t expect that something like this would happen. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Zhou spoke in a deep voice. He didn't know whether it was because he was thinking about the old relationship between the couple or because the family scandal should not be made public. He said coldly: "No matter who did it, you have an unshirkable responsibility. If you don't find out clearly, you can just do it casually." Mother, what do you want to do? From today on, you are banned from Changchun Palace and are not allowed to go out!"
Concubine An's eyes widened, and she almost burst into flames when she looked at Lin Qingge, but she somehow calmed down: "I don't know people well, and I would like to pray in front of the Buddha. It's just that Lin Qingge broke into the Star-Zhaing Tower without permission, so I can't Just wipe it out?"
