Chapter 158 Prohibited Fabrics

She has a good reputation and is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

However, Concubine Liang had met Pei Wu at a palace banquet two years ago. She was a rare beauty, but she was cold and looked displeased to everyone, as if they owed her money.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Concubine Liang had to admit that Jiang Xinyue's beauty was actually better than Pei Wu's.

Because her beauty was more lively, her charm was lovable, and she had all the looks that men liked.

Wouldn't such a woman be more lovable than a cold woman?

But, it's hard to say. What

if the emperor got tired of the coquettish and lovely women and wanted to find something exciting and challenging?

Concubine De looked at Jiang Xinyue's back: "Don't you understand?"

Concubine Liang frowned: "What do you mean by talking so much?" Concubine

De's eyes were shining. She looked at the direction where Jiang Xinyue left, as if she smelled a similar scent, and said excitedly: "She has declared war on us. Just wait! When she gives birth to this child, she will take action to deal with you."

"Me?"

Concubine Liang widened her eyes: "What...what did I do? Why is she dealing with me?"

She was not favored, and she was not the Empress. What good would it do for Concubine Zhen to deal with her?

De Fei's slightly sharp red phoenix eyes looked at her clearly, and said in a mocking tone: "When you slapped Jiang Chuan, the eunuch in her palace, you also put something else on his clothes, right? Then why do you think she is not hurt at all?"

Of course they found out.

Then did Jiang Xinyue know that someone wanted to harm her, wouldn't she go to check?

De Fei said such a secret that only she knew, and Liang Fei's eyes widened: "You mean..."

"Huh!"

De Fei chuckled: "I didn't say anything, you guessed it yourself."

So no matter what you do in the future, it has nothing to do with me.

Liang Fei bit her lip, her heart was in a mess.

De Fei did not insist that she accompany her to see the evergreens, and took the hand of her own maid and walked away.

When Jiang Xinyue returned to Hexi Palace, Jiang Chuan came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Dianyi came when you were not here just now. She said that the thing you asked her to check last night was a little strange." "

Why is it strange?"

Didn't you just ask her to check which palace the fabric of the clothes sewn on the witch dragon figurine came from?

Jiang Chuan replied, "Fang Dianyi said that someone seems to be investigating her recently, and it is not convenient for her to stay in Hexi Palace for a long time. She also asked you to be careful, because she was afraid that someone would find out that you and her had set up a trap to deceive Concubine Su."

Jiang Xinyue nodded, "I know. What else did she say? What's so strange about the fabric?"

Jiang Chuan recalled, "Fang Dianyi said that the two cloth people were wearing floating brocade. This floating brocade is... something from the Zhou Dynasty. We in Dayan have a clear ban on wearing clothes made of floating brocade, so there is no such fabric in the palace."

Even if there was, it would have been destroyed long ago.

Sixty years ago, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was unkind and licentious, and the people lived in misery.

Among the aristocratic families, Emperor Sheng Gaozu was born a military general. There were hundreds of uprisings among the people at that time. After suppressing countless rebellions, Emperor Sheng Gaozu rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty under the persuasion of his confidants.

The Zhou Dynasty emperor held Emperor Sheng Gaozu's wife and children in the capital and beheaded them on the battlefield.

It is said that the Zhou Dynasty emperor wore a dragon robe made of floating brocade at that time.

After Emperor Sheng Gaozu broke into the city, he killed Emperor Zhou, but he could not bring back his wife and children. In anger, he burned Emperor Zhou's body regardless of the opposition of his ministers, and searched out all the floating brocade in the palace and burned them.

After ascending the throne, he ordered that from then on, the Great Yan Dynasty would no longer be allowed to produce floating brocade, and if anyone kept it privately, he would be sentenced to death.

Fu Guangjin disappeared a long time ago.

As time passed, there were almost no palace maids who knew about Fu Guangjin.

If Fang Rumeng's family had not been in the cloth business a hundred years ago and she herself was very concerned about the family business and had seen the description of Fu Guangjin in the records of the Fang family, it is estimated that no one would have recognized her.

How could a forbidden cloth that was not in the palace appear in the palace?

It must have been brought in from outside the palace.

Who could bring forbidden things into the palace from outside the palace, and make them into a witch figurine and put them in Hexi Palace?

What right opportunity are they waiting for by keeping silent?

Jiang Xinyue felt that the road ahead was shrouded in thick fog, and she couldn't see clearly.

She nodded to show that she knew, and then asked again: "I asked if there was a way to remove the words on the cloth. Did she reply?"

"To answer your Majesty, Fang Dianyi said that Fu Guang Jin is a special material. No matter what stains fall on the cloth, as long as it is soaked in vinegar, salt and hot water, it will be removed completely, as if it is new. This is one of the reasons why Fu Guang Jin was used as a dragon robe."

After listening to Jiang Xinyue, a smile appeared on her lips: "Since we can't find the person who cursed the emperor and the queen, let the emperor find it."

What she doesn't know, the emperor always knows.

For example, who is most likely to hide Fu Guang Jin?

Shuangjiang is very good at needlework. She even went to the clothing room to learn from Fang Rumeng for a few days. She could tell at a glance that the stitches on the figurine were very rough, and it must have been made by someone who was not good at needlework.

There was no maid in the palace who was not good at needlework. There were always people vying to do the easy work of sewing and mending in the master's palace. Those who were

not good at this were not destined to serve others, but the masters in the palace.

A beautiful face popped up in Jiang Xinyue's mind almost instantly.

As for whether it was true or not, she just had to guide the emperor and let him verify it.

Late at night, while Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang were asleep, Shuangjiang and Xi Que acted separately.

One of them took out the small "sin" box, took out the little figurine representing the Empress, sewed up her clothes so that she looked like a concubine in the palace, and then took off the phoenix crown on the figurine's head and added two silk flowers to make it look much simpler.

Xi Que prepared salt and vinegar and mixed them into hot water. She took down the cloth strip with the Empress' birth date and soaked it in water. In less than half a cup of tea, the water in the basin turned black.

After changing to another basin of water and soaking it again, the white, glittering cloth strip became clean and there was no word on it.

Jiang Chuan did not eat or drink and imitated the words on the cloth strip for a day and a night. He was almost like it, and Jiang Xinyue thought it was good enough.

After the water on the cloth strip was dried, Jiang Chuan imitated the original handwriting and replaced the Empress' birth date with Jiang Xinyue's.

When the two little people with steel needles were put together again, they had completely changed.

The emperor's body was covered with many small embroidery needles, leaving no space at all. After seeing this, the emperor must have felt that the person who was a witch and a villain hated him.

The Empress Zhu, who originally wore a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, also became Jiang Xinyue.
