There was a good show going on in Fengqi Palace. Yao Ying and Shan Ying were holding a confession letter written in blood, crying and complaining. They were so sincere and heartbroken, as if they had a deep relationship with Concubine Wang, which made Lady Wen Yu roll her eyes.
Bai Suyan silently summed it up for them in her heart: Lady Wen Yu suppressed and treated the lower ranked concubines harshly. She ordered the Jingshi Branch to remove their green head cards, and used musk instead of spices in their food to harm their womb to prevent them from having children.
"That day in the Youhuang Palace, I framed Wang Bin for poisoning the imperial concubine, and even bribed the imperial physician to give false testimony. I falsely accused the teacup of being poisoned. Empress Dowager, please uphold justice for this lowly concubine!"
After listening to the whole process, Empress Dowager Wang only nodded. A little palace maid came forward to take the confession letter, and then handed it to Liusu. Finally, Liusu presented it to Empress Dowager Wang. Empress Dowager Wang only glanced at it, and then looked at Lady Wen Yu, who didn't care at all, and asked, "What do you say about this?"
Lady Wen Yu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Mother, these little girls are young and inexperienced. You are a person who has gone through so many storms in the palace. According to the rules of the palace, the things used by people who died have to go with them. Even if they were closed for a period of time because of their deep love for each other, they have to be cleaned up when they are reopened.
What's more, with Yao Ying's status, how could she use such an ornament? If there is no one deliberately adding fuel to the fire … I think that as long as we thoroughly investigate the people in the palace who have the power to do this, the truth will be revealed. " As she said this, she looked at Bai Suyan, the meaning of which was unclear. Concubine Jing had always not been in charge of things, and now that she was pregnant, her energy was limited. She even stayed in her own Fallen Red Palace and didn't take a step out.
"Chenqie reconsiders," Bai Suyan stepped forward and cupped her hands, "Moreover, when Chenqie reviewed the case of Gu Jieyu's deafness a few days ago, I found that many suspicious points were all pointed to Lady Wen Yu, and there was an even older concubine who almost lost her life due to dystocia. Chenqie found a large amount of musk in the vanilla dew that she usually loved to use. Chenqie followed the clues and found a personal palace maid under Lady Wen Yu."
"Ha, Consort Yan is so thoughtful to be able to dig up such a distant matter," Lady Wen Yu played with the jade ring on her slender finger, "I don't know if the musk in your mouth was present before today or after today."
Bai Suyan wasn't in a hurry and smiled, "Niangniang, don't be in a hurry to refute. There is an even more interesting matter, please listen to me slowly. When I was comforting the madams who were seeking refuge, I inadvertently heard an old servant of the Wen Family talk about an old past. I heard that niangniang had a twin sister at home. She had a gentle temperament and was lovely. She was the fourth child at home. Coincidentally, I heard that niangniang was also the fourth child."
Lady Wen Yu's face was completely black, and there was a bit of anger in her voice, "If I was still as weak as I was at home, I would have been eaten a long time ago. Would I still be alive today?"
"Niangniang is right!" Bai Suyan suddenly interrupted her words, "Empress Dowager, originally it was as Wen Yu furen had said. Since the Cui Hong House had arranged for a new person to move in, naturally it would be ordered to clean up. This bottle of Fragrant Grass Dew should have been destroyed, but it was secretly kept by a greedy eunuch. Chenqie found it when she was checking. Unfortunately, at that time, the Zhao family was in rebellion and the palace was in a state of panic. Therefore, it was only found today.
I specially went through the old files of the Shang Bureau. The vanilla dew was obtained by the merchants of Sui City and overseas merchants occasionally. Seven years ago, the magistrate of Sui City offered ten bottles as a tribute. Because it was rare, only Great Elder Princess Hejing got one bottle, and the rest were rewarded according to the status of the people in the palace. At that time, Empress Dowager got three bottles herself, and she gave two to Princess Consort. Princess Consort has always treasured it.
At that time, Lady Wen Yu came to the mansion. Princess Consort pretended to be virtuous and gave half a bottle as a meeting gift, but in fact, the half bottle of vanilla dew was mixed with a lot of musk, which was enough to damage the skin texture and make people infertile for many years. Many years later, Princess Consort had a difficult birth because of this half bottle of vanilla dew, so the half bottle of vanilla dew was returned to Princess Consort. "
"What you said is true," Wen Yu furen turned around to look at her and said, "Ben gong can prove that the first half of your words are correct. Wang shi had indeed bestowed the fragrant dew mixed with musk to Ben gong. Ben gong had also used it as she wished for for a long time, to the point that Ben gong was unable to prolong His Majesty's heirs until today.
And I didn't know about the bottle of vanilla dew until I used it up. There was no exchange. Princess Consort's difficult birth was caused by her thinking too much during pregnancy. What does it have to do with me? What's more, although I don't like Princess Consort, there should be a bottom line no matter how bad a person is. She is pregnant and pitiful. I won't hurt a pregnant woman and damage my virtue.
By the way, Consort Yan, you still haven't answered me. How can you prove that the musk in the bottle was added before and not by you? Or maybe Princess Consort Yan added it herself and intended to harm people, but didn't give it away? "
Bai Suyan smiled faintly and said, "The best evidence is on you, niangniang."
Madam Wen Yu spread out her hands and said, "On my body? Bai Suyan, I'm standing here for you to search. What can you find? "
"Body fragrance. You don't have the scent of vanilla on you," Bai Suyan said, "You have to know that the true value of vanilla dew is that its fragrance can seep into a person's skin. If used for a long time, the fragrance can last for a long time as if it was natural. Princess Consort Wang's body is like this, so she rarely uses incense. It's just that most of the womenfolk in the palace use aromatherapy, so it is overlooked.
The scent of vanilla dew is unique, especially the vanilla, also known as lavender. It doesn't grow in Da Qing. Niangniang, you said that you used up half a bottle. The scent of lavender should have seeped into every inch of your skin, every strand of your hair, but you don't have it on you! "
Lady Wen Yu's expression didn't change. She even brushed her sleeves and said with a smile, "Ben gong doesn't like fragrances. The smell is too strong. Ben gong felt it was too pungent when rubbed on my body, so I didn't know when it disappeared. Maybe it was eaten by a little mouse?"
This time, Dan Ying became excited. She had originally been kneeling on the ground. At this time, she raised her head and said in a sharp voice, "The fragrant dew is mixed in the candles and naturally evaporates in the room. It isn't used for rubbing. It can be seen that the Wen Clan didn't use the fragrant dew and used it all to harm Princess Consort!
Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, even a person like this lowly concubine knows how to use this fragrant dew. How could Lady Wen Yu not know? Even if she doesn't know, how could the people by her side not know? "
Lady Wen Yu coldly swept a glance over her and said, "Ben gong doesn't know. The people by ben gong's side also didn't say. So what?"
