"Rouge?" Yun Shang frowned, with some doubts in her heart, "If it was before the New Year's Eve palace banquet, when you had just been promoted to a talented person, was Mrs. Xian giving you rouge to celebrate your favor?"
Lin Youran shook her head, seemed to think about it, and then said: "It shouldn't be the case. When I was first named a talented person, Mrs. Xian also gave me something. I remember it was a piece of cloud brocade. Then
Rouge happened not long after I found out I was pregnant. I remember it somewhat clearly. Because of my pregnancy, I never used rouge. That day, Mrs. Xian was walking around the palace and suddenly mentioned that there was a shop outside the palace called Qianshui Yiren.
, the rouge inside has a delicate and elegant fragrance, it is really a rare and top-quality product, her mother bought a lot of it and sent it to the palace, so she gave me a box."
Lin Youran paused for a moment, then continued: "I know about Qianshui Yiren Pavilion. Xiang Guifei told me before that it was our shop, so I didn't have any doubts and accepted it. Later, I also looked for
Someone has looked at it and found that there is indeed nothing wrong with the rouge. It was indeed made by Qianshui Yirenge and had not been tampered with. However, Concubine Xiang specially warned me before that she was pregnant and should use the rouge with caution, so I
It was of no use. A few days later, Mrs. Xian asked me why I wasn't using it. I felt a little guilty about the fashion, so I used it occasionally."
Yun Shang frowned, "Where is Rouge?"
Lin Youran fell silent, "When I moved to Xiangzhu Palace before, all the old things were not moved here. They should be in the original palace, but I don't know if the palace people have discarded them. But it turns out that no one has lived in my palace. Princess
It's better to send someone to look for it and see if there is any problem. Now that I think about it, I always feel that Mrs. Xian probably suspected that I was pregnant at that time, and sending Rouge was also a test."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, but did not rule out the possibility. After pondering for a moment, she asked Lin Youran in detail where the rouge was, and asked the palace servants on the side to send a message to the secret guards lurking in the palace.
I checked in the palace before.
A palace servant opened the curtain from the outside and walked in. He said softly to Yun Shang: "Princess Rui, the palace servant next to the Queen just now contacted the hidden stake she installed in the Xiangzhu Palace. It seemed that some message was sent out.
."
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Our queen is not stupid. She would be happy to see us get rid of a concubine for her. I'm afraid she would have to send someone to do it.
My hands and feet are gone."
Yun Shang was worried that once he went out, it would be difficult to come back in, so he simply waited in the palace, waiting for the secret guard to investigate and come back to report.
"Princess, the Empress asked, what's wrong with Hui Zhaoyi? Does it need to be sent to the imperial doctor?" Another palace official opened the curtain and said softly.
Yun Shang thought for a while and then responded: "Go and report to Your Majesty and the Queen, saying that Hui Zhaoyi is fine and just has some chest tightness. I will give Hui Zhaoyi a look and I will go out soon."
The palace man responded and left.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she actually found the rouge box that Lin Youran mentioned in the previous hall. Yun Shang opened the rouge box, looked at it, and smelled it carefully. There was nothing unusual about the rouge.
However, this rouge has a light jasmine fragrance. The rouges in Qianshui Yiren Pavilion are all made entirely of flowers. This rouge should be made from jasmine. Jasmine has a light floral fragrance, but it is not good for pregnant women. If pregnant women apply it
Rouge made from jasmine can easily cause symptoms of headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips coldly and said with a smile: "It is very possible that the reason why you were so unhappy before was because of this rouge."
When Lin Youran heard this, he was stunned, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and after a while he said: "How could it be possible? This rouge is clearly..."
"Some things are harmless to ordinary people, but if pregnant women are infected, they may not be cured." Yun Shang said calmly, put the rouge into her sleeves, and smiled: "And this thing, even if it is used for questioning
Madam Xian, Madam Xian can easily get away with it, just saying that she didn’t know you were pregnant, and the rouge is indeed fine, so it will be difficult to pin the crime on her."
Lin Youran frowned, a little scared in her heart. She would never have thought that it was just an ordinary box of rouge, but it actually contained evil intentions.
Yun Shang stood up, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Xian can't run away today." After saying that, she walked to the door of the palace, lifted the bead curtain, and walked out.
"Is Hui Zhaoyi okay?" Xia Huanyu turned to look at Yun Shang and asked softly.
Yun Shang bowed quickly and replied, "Nothing's wrong, it's just that there is some ventilation in the palace, so I feel chest tightness."
Xia Huanyu nodded and turned his head. Yun Shang thought for a moment, quietly took out the rouge from his sleeve, and put it on the table next to her when neither Xia Huanyu nor the queen noticed.
Yun Shang saw Mrs. Xian's eyes falling on the rouge, she frowned slightly, and then looked away lightly.
After a while, the palace guards sent by Xia Huanyu also came back, "Your Majesty, my subordinates first went to the place where Craftsman Qian's family lived, and found that Craftsman Qian's family had disappeared. Later he went to the palace, and the steward said
That Mingcai’s mother has already taken leave of absence and gone back to her hometown.”
Xia Huanyu frowned, with a bit of anger in his eyes. Yun Shang was not surprised at all. He looked at Mrs. Xian indifferently and met her eyes. Mrs.
Yun Shang smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.
Yun Shang also laughed.
The guard paused for a moment, then continued: "However, I found this thing in the home of the craftsman named Qian. I saw that it looked like something from the palace, so I brought it back." After saying this, he took it from his sleeve.
He took something out, it was silver, but it seemed to have some white color in it.
It wasn't until Xia Huanyu picked up the object that Yun Shang saw what it was.
It's a pair of pearl earrings.
The simple style is just a silver chain with a pearl on it. The pearl is not big, but it has excellent gloss, and the two pearls are also very well-proportioned in size.
Seeing the pearl earring, Mrs.
Xia Huanyu held up the pearl earring and looked at it for a moment, then raised his eyes thoughtfully, landed on Mrs.
What did I give you?"
Mrs. Xian nodded but did not speak.
"I remember that you liked it very much. You always wore these earrings every time I came to your palace. But I didn't see you wearing them the first two times. I even asked you, what was your answer then?" Xia
Huanyu's voice was calm and calm, as if he was chatting about ordinary things.
Madam Xian opened her mouth, but didn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said: "It's gone. This pearl earring was lost years ago. I don't know if it was done by someone in the palace."
It's not clean, so it was stolen. I even ordered people to search for it in the palace, but they couldn't find it. Everyone knows that these pearl earrings are my favorite, and everyone in the palace knows..."
As Mrs. Xian spoke, tears rolled down from her eyes.
When Yun Shang looked at her, her expression didn't seem to be fake, and she understood in her heart that the pearl earrings were probably made by the queen. The family of the craftsman Qian had already quietly moved away, so why was there such a person who could afford to leave behind?
It doesn't make sense to think that the thing that killed Madam Xian is here.
"But why did this pearl earring appear in that craftsman's home? Can you tell me why your lost thing appeared in that craftsman's home?" Xia Huanyu's voice was still very calm.
Mrs. Xian laughed and said, "Why? I also want to know why. Your Majesty, do you think that if the craftsman was ordered by me, why would you keep this thing since the craftsman's whole family has moved away? This is not lifting stones.
Are you going to hit yourself in the foot?" As he said that, his eyes fell on Yun Shang.
Yun Shang smiled, stood up and said: "I would rather think that Mrs. Xian was framed for this matter. But regardless of who the framed person is, Mrs.
The murderer who intends to murder Hui Zhaoyi and the emperor's heir." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Mrs.
I know this pair of step-wags made by Qian Shui Yi Ren Pavilion. I have always used them in Qian Shui Yi Ren Pavilion and I like them very much. I even have this pair of steps."
Yun Shang glanced at Mrs. Xian, walked slowly to Mrs. Xian's side, and then said: "But there seems to be something wrong with Mrs. Xian's head shaking."
"Oh? What's wrong?" The queen's eyes were also attracted by the step, and she asked softly.
"As I said just now, I have a pair of hairpins in this step-waving house, but there are two hairpins in the step-waving one, and they are slightly curved. Before that, I specifically asked the people in the shop for advice, saying that this is the right way to do it.
Because the tassel pendant of Bu Yao is a bit heavy, if it is only one hairpin and the hairpin is not heavy enough, Bu Yao will be top-heavy and will tilt up. But Mrs. Xian’s Bu Yao, even though it has two hairpins, is still tilted up." Yun
Chang said, then smiled, and quickly took off the two steps from Mrs. Xian's head.
Mrs. Xian was suddenly startled, then stood up: "Is Princess Rui too presumptuous? Although this concubine is not high in rank, she can be a concubine in the harem. Princess Rui's behavior is really a bit too arrogant."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "If there is nothing in Madam Xian's two steps, I am willing to be punished." After saying that, she walked up to Xia Huanyu and gently weighed the weight of the two steps, "Today
When my wife arrived at the Xiangzhu Hall in the morning, Madam Xian only had one bubo on her head. However, when she came out again, she found that the bubo on Madam Xian's head had become two. And
These two steps are much lighter than the two of my wife's. Therefore, I boldly speculate that the hairpins of these two steps are probably hollowed out." (To be continued)
