Chapter 87 The Incense Burner is Poisonous

Concubine Chen then looked at Xiangyun and said, "Since Qionghua said that you broke into the palace, you should explain it as well."

But there was unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Xiangyun panicked immediately, and quickly looked up at Shupin, then knelt down and kowtowed: "I am here on the orders of Madam Shupin to deliver spices to Madam Guifei."

"Put it away..." Qiong Hua couldn't help but say something obscene, but she held back. "You little girl, why are you talking nonsense? Just now you said you were someone close to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine found the spices from the Grand Princess and asked you to bring them back first."

Xiangyun got angry when she heard what Qionghua said: "You are talking nonsense. I have always said that I am delivering spices for Concubine Shu. You heard it wrong."

"You..." Qiong Hua pointed at Xiangyun, too angry to speak. How could there be such a shameless person?

"Since you said you were sending spices," Concubine Chen Guifei saw that the two were arguing. She knew that Xiangyun was a speculator. It would be bad for a simple person like Qionghua to argue with her. "Then where are the spices?"

Xiangyun hurriedly took out the incense burner that she had prepared in advance from behind her and handed it over.

Seeing that this matter finally involved herself, Shupin took the incense burner, held it in both hands and walked forward, saying with a faint smile: "This is the incense sent by my mother's family. The smell is very light, but it is very soothing, so I thought of sending it to the queen."

The Great Chu Emperor was unwilling to get involved with them, and his tone was somewhat hostile: "Since it is a gift for Concubine Chen, why did you choose to give it when she is not in the palace?"

"It is my fault that I have not thought it through," Shupin saw that the Emperor of Great Chu seemed unhappy, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "I thought that the noble concubine would like it, so I..."

No matter what the reason was for Shupin to take the initiative to show her goodwill, Concubine Chen was unwilling to get close to her, and immediately retorted: "Shupin must have remembered it wrongly. I have never liked fragrance. Thank you very much..."

Before she could finish, Qiong Hua rushed forward and stood in front of Concubine Chen Gui: "Your Majesty, be careful, the incense is poisonous."

Shupin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Yuxiu, her eyes full of surprise, but she quickly adjusted her mood: "I think this girl is wrong, this is a spice, not a poison."

However, the flirting between Shupin and the maid just now could not escape the eyes of Concubine Chen Guifei.

The Emperor of Great Chu was no fool and could see that this matter was quite strange.

Qiong Hua did not say anything, but took a step forward and snatched the spice from Shupin's hand, then walked a little further away, opened the spice box, put it under her nose and sniffed it, then picked up a branch from the ground, carefully picked up the spice, and sniffed it again.

Then he glanced sideways and walked towards Concubine Chen, but still put the spice box behind him and stayed away from Concubine Chen and the others.

"My lady, this spice is non-toxic."

After Qiong Hua said this, Shupin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was wondering, how could it be poisonous? This lady is worrying too much."

Just now, Shupin even doubted Yuxiu for a moment. After all, Yuxiu was sent from the palace, not a dowry from her family. Although she relies on her now, she does not trust her completely. It seems that after this incident, she should be more careful and not make any mistakes because of this girl.

But Qiong Hua's next words made Shupin's face turn pale instantly: "But this incense burner contains a deadly poison. If the majesty really lights this incense, I'm afraid you will die within two days."

After saying this, he handed the spice box to the Emperor of Great Chu.

Concubine Chen couldn't help but frown: Looking at the cautious look just now, it was obvious that she was afraid that the poison would hurt me, but now she is directly stuffing the poison in front of the emperor, this...

This behavior is very similar to that of her little daughter who can't even speak. She is very hypocritical, showing one face to her father and another face to her mother. Could she really be the sister Qionghua that Wanwan mentioned?

The Emperor of Great Chu had not been to Qingyun Palace for a long time. He did not expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived. He immediately snatched the incense burner from Qiong Hua's hand and threw it on Shupin's head.

The spice was originally red in color, and it instantly spread over Shupin's head, dyeing half of her face red, giving it a rather strange smell.

Moreover, the incense burner was quite heavy, and when it hit Shupin's head, blood immediately gushed out.

Concubine Chen Guifei didn't think she was a good person, and she didn't even look at Concubine Shu. She couldn't serve tea and water to people who were causing trouble for her!

But she also knew that she had to put on a good show in front of the Great Chu Emperor: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You should listen to Shupin's explanation."

However, there was a cold look in his eyes as he looked at Shupin.

Shupin was stunned by the Great Chu Emperor just now. After hearing what Concubine Chen said, she came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down and crawled forward: "Your Majesty, please understand, I really just sent some spices to Concubine Gui."

His eyes rolled around and his mind was in a turmoil.

When she heard what the female doctor said just now, she knew that she was caused by the maid beside her. Who is this Yuxiu?

Thinking about it carefully, ever since she came to serve him, she has been instigating him to deal with Concubine Chen. He was really blinded by jealousy and could not even see through a little girl.

But now is not the time to think about this matter, I should quickly get myself out of this situation.

Thinking of this, she turned around angrily and pointed at Xiangyun: "It must be her, it must be Xiangyun. I asked her to deliver the spices. She used to serve the noble lady. I think she hates the noble lady because of her own master, so..."

After saying this, she kowtowed heavily and said, "I am innocent. Your Majesty, please investigate."

When Xiangyun heard that Shupin had really pinned the blame on her, she also kowtowed and said, "Please, Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong."

Lu Xingwan, who was sleeping soundly nearby, was awakened by the noise of these people.

[Such a noise, stinky woman. 】

[How did Shupin survive in the harem for so many years? It seems that this matter depends on my mother's attitude. She is still begging my father.]

[But it is also true. Father is the eldest after all. Even mother has to listen to him.]

Da Chu hadn't heard Lu Xingwan's baby voice for a long time. When he saw her wake up, he asked Jinyu to hand her over to him. It seemed that his daughter had a lot of opinions about him.

Since she said so, I will do the opposite!

He immediately looked at Concubine Chen Gui and said, "Since this happened in your palace, you have the full authority to decide."

"......" Concubine Chen looked at the Great Chu Emperor speechlessly. She was unwilling to deal with this matter, so she immediately declined, "Let me ask first. If your Majesty is not busy, why don't we take a look together?"

So he ordered Jinxin and Jinyu to bring out two chairs.
