The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

That night, Su Wanrong and her confidante, Nanny Li, began to conspire in the room.

"Mammy, I want to get rid of Su Qing. You go find some reliable people and spread some rumors about Su Qing. Say that there is something wrong with her facial mask and it will damage her appearance. Then find an inconspicuous concubine or a palace maid, destroy her face, and ask her to come out and testify." Su Wanrong said viciously.

"Your Majesty, is it okay to do this? Is it a bit risky? Once it is discovered..." Nanny Li was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? As long as you do it secretly, who can find out? Besides, how do you know that her stuff is fine? Can't you just ask someone to put something poisonous in Su Qing's facial mask? Besides, those concubines are jealous of Su Qing for being favored by the Queen Mother, so they will definitely believe it." Su Wanrong said confidently.

"Why would you take this risk, Madam? Everyone's skin is different, and some people might not be able to adapt to it. We don't need to..."

"If you are timid, what great things can you accomplish? If you don't take this opportunity to get rid of her, you will have to wait a long time~ If it weren't for her, why would I enter the palace as a concubine? When did you become so timid, Madam?"

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Nanny Li agreed reluctantly.

After Li Ma Ma received the order, she began to make arrangements. Soon, rumors about Su Qing's mask spread in the palace.

After hearing this, some concubines and palace maids became worried, and some even began to suspect that their appearance was damaged.

Su Qing was shocked when she learned about this. She knew it was Su Wanrong's conspiracy, but she couldn't find evidence to prove her innocence.

At this time, a young palace maid who had used Su Qing's facial mask actually developed facial ulcers. She cried and said it was because of using Su Qing's facial mask, and pointed at Su Qing in public.

Su Qing was speechless at this time. She wanted to see the palace maid's face and take some blood to the space for testing, but the palace maid said she would not let Su Qing touch it no matter what. Su Qing was in trouble for a while.

At this time, Su Wanrong was secretly proud of herself, thinking that her plan was about to succeed.

When the Queen Mother learned about this, she immediately summoned Su Qing.

"Su Qing, recently some people said that your facial mask is harmful and causes skin ulcers after application. Is this true?" the Queen Mother asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, please be advised. My facial masks are all made of natural materials and are absolutely harmless. Someone must have maliciously spread rumors to cause trouble." Su Qing knelt down and explained.

"Of course I believe you. However, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to clear your name," said the Queen Mother.

"Thank you for your trust, Queen Mother, but I have a way to prove that my mask is fine."

"tell me the story?"

"I want to take some blood from that palace maid. I have a way to test it, and then I can call the imperial physician to test whether the mask is poisonous. Your Majesty, you also used my mask. So many people have used it and they are fine. Why did only that little palace maid get into trouble? So please let me and the imperial physician test it together, and I will be cleared of all charges."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Come here, tell the concubines in the harem to come to Chang'an Palace and wait, and then call the imperial physician. Also order someone to keep an eye on the maid and don't let her commit suicide."

The servants followed the order and went to various palaces to deliver the message.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. I will not let you down."
