"Reporting to your majesty, the facial mask I made has only been used by the princess's palace and the emperor. If I want to give it to others, that day when I returned home late, I met a palace maid who was burning paper money privately in the palace. She was so angry at that time
She had acne and begged me to give it to her. Seeing how pitiful she was, I gave her a jar." Su Zhiyu said truthfully.
Emperor Wen frowned and said, "You said it was a palace maid, but this one?" A strange palace maid walked in outside the palace. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Su Zhiyu.
Su Zhiyu shook his head, "It's not her. That palace maid has an oval face and is pretty. She has a tear mole under her eyes."
As soon as Su Zhiyu said this, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
"That's Li Cairen. She's dead."
"The emperor summoned me here and asked these questions again, but the cause of Li Cairen's death is related to the facial mask I sent?" Su Zhiyu said calmly,
Emperor Wen actually didn't believe that she would harm such a talented person, so he said, "The imperial doctor found poison in the facial mask you gave her. It can cause facial ulceration and death from infection."
"Can I take a look at that mask?"
Emperor Wen ordered someone to fetch Li Cairen's leftover facial mask. The small jar was almost empty. Su Zhiyu dug out a small piece with his index finger and gently applied it on his skin. He suddenly felt a stinging sensation on his skin.
pain.
She frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the materials used in the facial mask I make are all natural. There are absolutely no such irritating ingredients. Your Majesty and the princess have both used them, and they have been very effective. Although I don't know what is adulterated here,
But this poison was definitely not administered by me."
"Empty words." Concubine Rong uttered four words softly.
"Your Majesty, can you allow me to ask the imperial physician a few questions?"
Emperor Wen indicated that she could do it. Su Zhiyu said to the imperial physician aside, "Excuse me, this imperial physician, how long will it take for the medicine in this mask to take effect? And what is the effect?"
"This medicine is very poisonous. You will feel it the first time you use it. If you use it a few more times, your skin will start to ulcerate." The imperial doctor continued with a serious face.
"How was Li Cairen's death?" Su Zhiyu continued to ask.
"It's very scary. His face is so rotten that his bones are almost exposed." When Su Zhiyu asked, Pei Donglang walked in from the outside. He bowed briefly and sat aside without saying a word. Everyone was paying attention to Su Zhiyu and did not pay attention to him.
.
Su Zhiyu turned around and said to Emperor Wen, "Your Majesty, since this medicine is so powerful, if ordinary people feel uncomfortable after using it a few times, they will naturally stop using it and even come to me for inquiries. But Li Cairen has never come to me.
And after his face was ulcerated, he continued to endure the pain of bone erosion. Doesn’t your Majesty think this is unusual?"
As soon as Su Zhiyu fell, the maid beside her suddenly burst into tears, "The young master said that this was her only chance to win His Majesty's favor. She thought that this medicine had such properties, so she had to use it despite the pain. But who would have thought of this?
It turns out that Mr. Su has ulterior motives!"
"Oh? You said Mr. Su has ulterior motives, what kind of ulterior motives do you have?" Concubine Ze asked.
"Master Su wants to kill people and silence him!!" the little palace maid said with tears streaming down her face and her body trembling. "When the young master died, he took the slave's hand and told the slave that she accidentally discovered Master Su's secret, so she wanted to kill her.
Silence!"
"If she really thinks I want to kill her and silence her, why should she use the things I gave her?" Su Zhiyu thought it was ridiculous. There must be no word logic in this palace maid's dictionary.
