"Is this the medicine that can make women grow beards?"
Man Dong got back a package of mediocre medicinal powder from Dr. Jiang. It was a white powdery substance that smelled nothing.
Lu Qing took it and asked, "Did Doctor Jiang tell me how to use it?"
"Doctor Jiang said that this medicine will only take effect four to five days after taking it. The beard that grows out cannot be shaved cleanly, but it will lose its effect after seven days."
Lu Qing nodded with satisfaction: "The onset lasts for a long time, and it is basically impossible to find out who administered the drug."
Man Dong didn't think of a good way: "Then how do we use the medicinal powder on Concubine Ji?"
Lu Qing looked at Ji Qin, who smiled clearly: "The red color of Yihongyuan."
Danhong approached Lingyun and successfully went from Jinqiyuan to Yihongyuan as an errand on the grounds that she had helped Lanxin and was afraid of being discovered by Luqing.
It would be inappropriate to ask her to handle such a small matter.
After the discussion, Ji Qin went to find Dan Hong.
At the corner of the garden, Ji Qin handed the medicinal powder to Dan Hong: "Don't worry, it's not that the poison can't be found on you, and what you were asked to do wasn't something outrageous. Just find an opportunity to put it into Concubine Ji's tea. ”
Dan Hong didn't dare to disobey, she pinched the powder and nodded.
Ji Qin smiled softly and stuffed a purse filled with broken silver into Dan Hong: "Concubine, I want you to work hard as an errand in Yihongyuan, so I asked me to get you some money so that you can send it home to improve your family's life." Life."
Danhong no longer had any objections now, she responded: "The slaves will always be from Jinxiyuan. As long as the concubine has any use for the slaves, she can just speak."
Ji Qin smiled and waved: "I will tell the concubine, please go back quickly, don't be caught by others."
The next day, Lu Qing went to pay her respects. She saw with her own eyes that Dan Hong served Ji Mingzhu tea, and then nodded to herself calmly.
Lu Qing picked up the white porcelain cup and praised: "The tea here is delicious."
Ning Huayue raised her eyebrows proudly and told Ling Yun beside her: "Concubine Wei likes it. Remember to pack some for her later. I have no shortage of tea here."
Ji Mingzhu lazily opened the lid, smelled it and said, "It's just Jingting Green Snow, I still prefer to drink Lushan Yunwu."
She just couldn't listen to Ning Huayue showing off, so she insisted on interrupting.
Ning Huayue couldn't help but smile slowly and said, "I also have Lushan Yunwu here. Let's wrap some for Concubine Ji later."
Ji Mingzhu wanted to refuse, but Chen Qingzi pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Princess, please don't just care about Concubine Ji and Concubine Wei. We have so many sisters, why don't you even drink a bowl of water?"
Ning Huayue shook her head helplessly, with a virtuous and generous face: "I have it all, I have it all!"
Everyone took advantage and smiled and thanked each other. The atmosphere in Yihongyuan was better than ever.
But after only four days of this illusion, everything was restored to its original state.
Early in the morning, a sharp roar erupted from Taoshan Courtyard.
"ah--"
When Ji Mingzhu woke up, she felt something uncomfortable above her lips. When she touched it, she found it was rough and startled her.
She ran to the bronze mirror in a panic without even wearing embroidered shoes, and saw two black things on her lips.
——The curls and strokes are clearly the beard that grows on men.
Yizhen and Yiman panicked, opened the door and ran in. When they saw Ji Mingzhu's appearance, they were both stunned.
Ji Mingzhu yelled: "What are you looking at! Close the door!"
Yizhen found a razor blade and tried to shave Ji Mingzhu's beard cleanly, but the stubble was very stubborn and the green and black patch covered the top of his lips tightly, which was clearly visible at a glance.
Ji Mingzhu was about to collapse, she roared: "Go to the doctor!"
As a result, the government doctor came, and after looking around and asking questions, he was still confused. He could only confirm that Ji Mingzhu was not poisoned.
"Then what should I do! It doesn't matter if I don't die, right? A woman's face is so important. If it can't be cured, I might as well just let me die!"
Under tremendous pressure, the doctor guessed: "Did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
Yizhen and Yiman immediately listed and analyzed all the food Ji Mingzhu had eaten these days, but they still had no clue.
Suddenly, Ji Mingzhu caught a glimpse of the tea on the table. She covered her mouth and shouted, "Tea given by the princess!"
Yizhen found the tea leaves and gave them to the doctor for examination. The doctor twisted them in his hand and looked back and forth, shaking his head hesitantly.
But Ji Mingzhu was convinced that it was Ning Hua Yue Zuo's demon. She slapped the table and shouted: "Apart from Tao Shanyuan's stuff, I have only drank their Yihongyuan's tea. Who else could she be if she wasn't the princess?"
Yi Zhen and Yi Man couldn't hold back the crazy Ji Mingzhu. In an instant, Ji Mingzhu rushed out of Taoshan Court like an angry bull and rushed to Yihong Court to settle accounts with Ning Huayue.
"Master, please wait! Veil! Wear the veil! You will regret it if you don't wear it!" Yizhen waved the veil she finally found and sprinted with all her strength before catching up with Ji Mingzhu.
In Yihongyuan, the room was full of people who came to pay their respects. Everyone was lively and chatting together in twos and threes.
Before Ning Huayue came out, Lu Qing was pulled by Qu Donger to chat about the recent meal problems.
"In general, it's okay, but the dining room prepares those dishes every day. I can guess what I'm having for lunch and dinner today with my eyes closed. Although I can use money to change things, don't I have no money? …”
Qu Donger's troubles were so simple that Lu Qing couldn't help but pity her.
"If you don't mind, come to my place for lunch?"
If it were anyone else, Lu Qing would never take the initiative to invite her, because that would look like she was showing off the good living conditions in Jinjiyuan. People who are more sensitive may hate her for this and can't stand her anymore.
But Qu Dong'er obviously wouldn't mind these details. She opened her eyes and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "I don't mind, I don't mind. I wish you all. You are so kind-hearted and beautiful. If I were the prince, I would love you so much." you!"
Lu Qing: "..."
She really wanted to know who Qu Donger was and why he was so different?
While they were talking and laughing, a man suddenly rushed in.
Ji Mingzhu, wearing a veil, stood in the middle and shouted: "Princess! Please explain to me clearly! Why are you trying to harm me!"
Ning Huayue frowned and was helped out by Lingyun. Before she could sit down, she asked, "What have I done to you? Concubine Ji, do you know that making loud noises in Yihongyuan is..."
"You spiked my tea and tried to disfigure me!"
Ning Huayue's mood was completely ruined early in the morning, and she was also angry: "It's full of nonsense!"
There was a quarrel between the princess and the concubine, and no one dared to interrupt. Only Chen Qingzi had to mediate.
Ji Mingzhu said: "I drank the tea she gave me, and my appearance was ruined. Isn't it because the princess had bad intentions and instigated the maid to tamper with the tea?!"
Ning Huayue said: "I have no idea what you are talking about. I have divided the tea leaves with everyone. Why is it that everyone is fine and you are the only one in trouble? Is it because God doesn't like you, or you are trying to frame me by shouting "catching a thief" !”
Lu Qing took a sip of tea and watched the show with great interest.
Chen Qingzi, one of two adults, ordered people to go to Taoshan Hospital to understand the situation, and also invited the government doctor to interrogate, but still could not get a definite conclusion.
Ning Huayue and Ji Mingzhu looked at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
"Concubine Chen, Concubine Ji, you judge, but the government doctor can't provide any evidence. Concubine Ji is blaming me for this matter. Does it make sense?!" Ning Huayue took a few deep breaths and locked her eyes tightly on Chen Qingzi's face.
Chen Qingzi paused and didn't want to deal with their messy affairs anymore. She said calmly: "Concubine Ji is stubborn and I can't help it. Why don't you, Princess, discuss it with her? Don't hurt the feelings between the sisters."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing heard an extremely short and extremely restrained voice coming from beside him: "Ha——"
She turned her head and saw Qu Donger holding back his laughter until his face turned red.
