Being yelled at in front of so many people, Prince Chen's face was gloomy, he couldn't get down, so he could only continue to bite the bullet and ask, "What are you betting on?"
"Of course it's the fragrance on the handkerchief. If Xiao Jiu's words are wrong, I will bear all the consequences."
Chen Wang's eyelids twitched. At this moment, Zhao Zunming just pretended to dig a hole for him, waiting for him to jump in.
If you don't gamble, you just don't dare to gamble. It will only make outsiders think that King Chen is afraid of Zhao Zun or is showing a guilty conscience.
But if he gambled, and heard Zhao Zunhuo went out and made such a big bet, Prince Chen hesitated and couldn't make a decision for a while.
"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager Lian sternly reprimanded, "It's simply nonsense, what are you taking the palace for? Are there any rules!"
Zhao Zun raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Empress Dowager, neither did she give a reasonable explanation to convince the public, nor did she want to prove her innocence. It is really suspicious that Mrs. Xiao disappeared for no reason."
"It's a joke, the Ai family is sitting upright, how can I be afraid of you asking a question, if anyone comes to Yuxiu Palace to question, what face will the Ai family have?"
Even when the queen mother said nothing, Princess Chaoren immediately echoed, "What the queen mother said is very true, maybe the old lady went to other places to go shopping, Xiaojiu, you are too serious, you have offended the queen mother, the queen mother reads Xiao Xiao My family has served the imperial court for so many years, there is no credit but hard work, so I invited the Xiao family here, why do you have no idea what is good or bad?"
As soon as Princess Chaoren saw Zhao Zunqi, she didn't make a fuss, so she had to vent her anger on Concubine Xiao, "Just now I advised you to be cautious and calm, you child has been suspicious since childhood, and the second aunt knows that you don't have a mother in Xiao's house." Taking care of people, it is inevitable to be vigilant towards people, but it is also clear about the occasion, and it is impossible to lose a large living person."
On the surface, Princess Chaoren was trying to wash Xiao Concubine off, but in fact, she was helping Empress Dowager Lian deliberately discredit Xiao Concubine.
"So that's the case. Miss Xiao is too suspicious. The princess is right. Since Mrs. Xiao has entered the palace, can she still lose it? The most important thing right now is to find Mrs. Xiao, not in the palace. She is aggressive here, and I thought she was a filial girl just now, but she is deliberately trying to win our sympathy."
One of the ladies who had a good relationship with Princess Chaoren looked at Concubine Xiao with disdain.
If there is one person, the second will follow, most of them are official wives who depend on the queen mother for survival, and are trying their best to curry favor with the queen mother.
The Queen Mother Lian snorted, her face full of disgust, "No wonder she doesn't know the rules at all, she is a wild girl, she somehow lost her sense of propriety, and you messed up a good birthday party, it's really bad luck!"
"The empress dowager is bullying others with her power. She bullies others with her status if she has no reason to do so. The majestic empress dowager is nothing more than that. Who knows that the princess of Chaoren County has never told the truth. A few days ago, she was taken into prison by the Marquis. The pearls and hairpins on her body They were all taken away by refugees, Ben Hou kindly sent jailers to send them over, but the princess refused to admit it, and even brutally beat the jailer to death."
"Besides, as far as this Marquis knows, it's the first time for the princess to come to the capital. How can I talk about Xiaojiu's suspicion since she was a child? Even if the princess wants to make trouble, it doesn't have to be so obvious. Who doesn't know that Erfang has always wanted to get rid of it?" Da Fang wants to get rid of his status as a concubine."
Zhao Zun's words were very sharp, and he slapped Princess Chaoren in the face, exposing all of Princess Chaoren's backgrounds.
The eyes of all the ladies looking at Princess Chaoren have changed. In their view, this is not abiding by women's morals. Princess Chaoren has no shame at all. Instead, she swaggers into the palace for a banquet.
Princess Chaoren was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Zhao Zun to shift the focus of everyone to herself with a few words, and she was extremely annoyed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When will this princess kill the jailer? Don't you want to spit blood!"
Zhao Zunlan looked at Princess Chaoren again, and turned his head to look at Queen Mother Lian, "Queen Mother, this kind of person's words are not trustworthy at all. They just deliberately slandered Weichen's fiancée. Little Nine!"
Zhao Zun was forcing Empress Dowager Lian to nod. In everyone's eyes, Empress Dowager Lian had a guilty conscience. Everyone guessed that this matter must have something to do with Empress Dowager Lian!
"Empress Dowager, you must pay attention to evidence in everything. If someone beats the drum and complains, you should also be given a chance to appeal. If you handle the case arbitrarily, Dongming Kingdom will inevitably complain, and the people will not easily trust the royal family. Whether it is true or not, just try it." I know, and give the royal family a chance to clean up their innocence, don't let the courtiers feel cold."
Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth, and she almost said that even the Empress Dowager would kill the donkey with her evil intentions.
Everyone can understand the underlying meaning, but some people deliberately pretend to be confused. In the past, they could not sit still if they defended the right minister.
So almost half of the wives knelt on the ground and said in unison, "I beg the Queen Mother to find out the truth and give the Xiao family justice."
Even the Empress Dowager's face was ashen, "It's rebellion! You all have to rebel, okay, everyone is getting bolder, today Aijia will fulfill you, come here, drag them all out... …"
"Since the Empress Dowager emulates the empress dowager, she has no regard for the will of the people, and insists on wantonly destroying Dongming's century-old reputation. She is not worthy of Zhao's service at all, and this official is not appropriate!"
As he spoke, Zhao Zun stretched out his hand and untied the crown, "Even the Empress Dowager's dictatorship, Dongming Jiangshan has been stagnant for many years because of such a person. The late emperor really has a bright eye!"
These words immediately pierced the heart of Empress Dowager Lian, causing Empress Dowager Lian to collapse immediately, pointing at Zhao Zun with red eyes and trembling, "You..."
Zhao Zun smiled provocatively, "It's really a pity for the sages of today's majesty."
Even the Empress Dowager was so angry that she almost fainted, and everyone was so surprised that they couldn't stop talking from ear to ear. Marquis Zhao is insane. He dared to accuse the Empress Dowager like this. He was definitely the first person so far.
I'm afraid that Prime Minister Right is here, so he might not dare to say that, and everyone sweated for Zhao Zun.
"Come here, drag him out to Ai's family and cut him off!"
Even the empress dowager's brain throbbed with anger, and she wished to cut Zhao Zun into pieces to relieve her anger. She has lived to such an advanced age, and she has never been abused by someone pointing her nose like this, which is simply the greatest shame in life!
There was no trace of fear on Zhao Zun's face, he showed a gold medal from his sleeve without haste, and sternly said to the guards rushing forward, "Here is the gold medal for avoiding death, who dares to be presumptuous!"
Everyone looked at Zhao Zun in surprise, no wonder he was so calm, it turned out he had a gold medal in his hand.
The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do, even with a wink from the Queen Mother, the guards continued to move forward.
Zhao Zunze glanced at the Empress Dowager Lian, "This was created by the ancestors of Dongming. Those who hold the gold medal can be exempted from all capital punishments. You are only the Empress Dowager once, and you dare to despise the rules set by your ancestors?"
Even the queen mother is really going to be pissed off, what do you mean you are just a queen mother, you are so angry that you can't speak.
It never occurred to Zhao Zun that there was a gold medal for avoiding death in his hand. Even the queen mother had thought about countless situations, but she never thought that she would be forced to come down from the stage.
Even the Empress Dowager has lived for almost sixty years. She has fought all her life from being a show girl to being an empress, and she has never been so embarrassing as it is today.
Holding the gold medal, Zhao Zun confronted the Empress Dowager Lian, his aura was not inferior, and he said after a long time, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager is afraid of. Mrs. Xiao is an elderly person, why did she offend the Queen Mother? Old Mrs. Xiao even saved the Queen Mother before. Why should the Empress Dowager embarrass Mrs. Xiao?"
"The Ai family hasn't seen Mrs. Xiao so far, Lord Zhao, don't go too far!" The Empress Dowager Lian warned with a strong murderous intent towards Zhao Zun.
"Since I haven't seen it before, why wouldn't Prince Chen dare to go to the gambling appointment? Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao can still frame you!
Zhao Zun's words strongly stimulated Prince Chen, and Prince Chen also knew that if there was no explanation for this matter, he would definitely not let it go. It was Su'e who was too careless and left something behind.
"Why don't you dare, come on, please come and invite the perfumer and the imperial physician!"
Prince Chen was willing to go all out, and glanced at his confidant guard, who immediately nodded knowingly and left.
"Coincidentally, there is also a capable person and strange person beside Zhao today, who is very sensitive to fragrance, why don't we go together."
After Zhao Zun finished speaking, a man came over immediately. It was Ye Xiuzhi, the doctor who had been following Zhao Zun.
Ye Xiuzhi took two steps, and then said to a lady, "My lady is using jasmine flowers with camellia today. This jasmine flower is the best jade jasmine flower. I used 15 flowers in total. After three days in the sun, I mashed them into flowers." mud, and then mix it with camellia to cover up the strong fragrance of jasmine and make the fragrance last.”
The lady was taken aback when she heard the words, and nodded repeatedly, "What you said is very true, exactly."
"Madam, you can add less green tea powder, the fragrance will last longer and be pleasant."
As Ye Xiuzhi spoke, he took another step forward, glanced at Concubine Xiao, and immediately there was a pair of cold knife-like eyes staring at him from behind, which gave him a chill down his spine, and he immediately turned his head to look at another lady.
"The brocade handkerchief in Madam's hand should have been soaked with hundreds of petals for ten hours, no, there is still a lack of roses, which were picked off before the rain, so the fragrance on the brocade handkerchief is very fragrant, and the one I have now should have just been replaced It didn't take more than an hour, Madam should have drunk fruit wine just now, so there is still a faint aroma of wine on the brocade handkerchief."
The madam was shocked, but Ye Xiuzhi said exactly what she said, "Sir, you are right, I don't like roses, so roses are the only one missing among all the flowers. I did drink a few more glasses of fruit wine just now, and accidentally wet the brocade." Pa, it was just changed an hour ago, sir has a good sense of smell."
With one face twice, Ye Xiuzhi was right, and he was right, so everyone unconsciously gravitated to Zhao Zun's side.
Prince Chen snorted through his nostrils, expressing his disdain, "The Taoist priests are just playing tricks, and they dare to enter the palace to fool them."
Hearing this, Ye Xiuzhi approached Prince Chen and sniffed it vigorously, "The fragrance on the prince's body is a bit complicated, a thick scent of rouge, the scent of daisy flowers, it should have been dyed an hour and a half ago, so it hasn't dissipated yet .”
Mentioning the fragrance of daisies, Suzhen's eyelids twitched, and she took a step back unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiuzhi glanced at Suzhen, Suzhen's heart tightened unconsciously, and she swallowed nervously.
Ye Xiuzhi smiled, "The fragrance on the prince's body is very similar to the fragrance on this aunt's body. This aunt's body not only has the faint fragrance of the brocade handkerchief in Miss Xiao's hand, but must be from the owner of the brocade handkerchief, who has been separated for less than two hours. , the rest is Daisy Fragrance.”
After Ye Xiu's words fell, Suzhen's legs softened, and she hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, don't believe his nonsense, this servant just happened to send some daisy tea to the prince."
Everyone was stunned, and looked at Prince Chen with strange expressions. Anyone who was married knew what was going on, but even the court lady next to his mother made up his mind, which was annoying enough.
Prince Chen's expression changed immediately, and he glared at Ye Xiuzhi angrily, Ye Xiuzhi shrugged, and said innocently, "To tell you the truth, the grass people are very sensitive to fragrances since they were young, and they don't need to get close to know what fragrances are. Made a mistake once."
No matter others believe it or not, the two wives believed it just now, Ye Xiuzhi indeed has extraordinary abilities.
Zhao Zun bent down to help Concubine Xiao up, put her behind him, and glanced at Ye Xiuzhi, "Just now you said that Aunt Suzhen and the owner of this brocade handkerchief just separated?"
Ye Xiuzhi nodded, "Yes, the scent of the owner of this brocade handkerchief is much stronger than this, but others can't smell it, and it won't spread evenly like this."
Saying it like this is a slap in the face of the Empress Dowager Lian. After hearing what the Empress Dowager said just now, what else do you not understand
