If a concubine in the harem has her face ruined, her favor in this life will be over!

Jiang Wanning is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. She grew up with everyone's love and care. She lives a better life than some unfavored princesses and has an extremely arrogant personality.

She entered the palace aiming for the position of the mother of the country. How could she accept such an outcome? She immediately turned Chuxiu Palace upside down!

With such a big thing happening, Queen Jiang naturally had to take care of it personally. She dragged her sick body and came over with the queen's ceremonial guard.

After all, she was unhappy. Wanting to punish Jiang Wanning was one thing, but she would never allow the future of the Zhenguo Mansion to be ruined!

Even the emperor was alarmed and went to Chuxiu Palace.

Jiang Wanning's eyes were filled with resentment, and she almost fainted from crying: "Eldest sister, Your Majesty, who wants to harm me?! You must help me! Wuuwuwu..."

Nangong Xuanyu didn't like her arrogant temper in the first place. At this moment, her face was covered with red rashes, and she looked even uglier when she cried. A hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.

However, now is not the time to move the Zhenguo Mansion. We have to do a good job on the surface. Nangong Xuanyu comforted him, "Don't worry, I will definitely do justice for you. Don't cry."

He didn't mind seeing a beautiful woman crying, but Jiang Wanning looked really ugly when she cried.

Jiang Wanning thought the emperor was concerned about her, and a little warmth rose in her heart. She sniffed and said, "Yes..."

As long as His Majesty doesn't despise her, she still has a future!

"Why did Snowgrass appear in Concubine Jiang's palace? Someone, investigate thoroughly!"

Queen Jiang drank some medicine before she went out and forced herself to stay awake. She looked pretty good at the moment.

After giving the order, she turned her head to look at the imperial physician: "I order you to heal Concubine Jiang's face no matter what method you use!"

There were no girls of the right age in the direct line of the Zhenguo Mansion who could be sent to the palace. Although there were suitable girls in the side branches, they were still a level apart. For the honor of the family, she had to keep Jiang Wanning no matter what!

Almost all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were called over and immediately responded respectfully, "Yes."

With the Emperor and Empress both here, the people below naturally worked hard and quickly took out all the suspicious items from the inner room. After the imperial doctors took turns to verify, they finally determined what the problem was.

"Your Majesty, Queen, we have discovered the ingredient of snowwort in this box of rouge!"

Jiang Wanning's expression suddenly darkened, and she kicked a palace maid kneeling beside her: "Bitch! You have always been in charge of my rouge, how come there was snowweed in it?! Tell me, did someone instruct you to murder me?!"

The maid's name was Tao'er. Her face was filled with fear. She kept kowtowing: "My lady, please understand! I don't have it! Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to murder you!"

Queen Jiang looked at Tao'er coldly and said, "Come here, drag her to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation!"

Tao Er panicked and kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please understand. I really didn't do that! I really don't know what's going on!"

"Oh, I remember now. The day before yesterday, I brought Yanzhi back and met Hong'er, the maid from Yilan Pavilion! Hong'er and I had done something together before, so I stopped and said a few words to her..."

Queen Jiang raised her hand lightly, and the eunuch who was dragging Tao'er stopped immediately.

Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Wan of Yilan Pavilion is the emperor's new favorite.

Queen Jiang looked at Nangong Xuanyu: "Your Majesty, look..."

Jiang Wanning's eyes were filled with hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you said that you would definitely make the decision for me! Wuwuwu..."

Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were dark, and no one could guess what he was thinking: "Bring Concubine Wan and Hong'er here."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Liu Ruyan, Shen Zhinian and their group arrived in a mighty procession.

Seeing that the emperor and the empress were here, Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat and she inexplicably had a bad premonition, but she still maintained calm.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Although he didn't know why Jiang Wanning's face became like this, it was obvious that this was directed at Liu Ruyan. Shen Zhinian stood quietly in the crowd and watched the show.

Jiang Wanning hated the murderer so much, especially when she saw Liu Ruyan's weak appearance, she was even more furious and rushed over: "You vicious woman, you even dared to harm me, you really don't know how to live or die, I will scratch your face!"

Of course, one cannot be presumptuous in front of the emperor. Before Jiang Wanning could get close to Liu Ruyan, she was stopped by the palace servants.

"Lady Jiang, the truth has not yet been determined. How can you be so arrogant?!"

Jiang Wanning was scolded by the emperor, and her heart was filled with grievances, but she did not dare to continue to act rashly. She could only say with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, only the maids of Yilan Pavilion have approached the box of rouge. If it was not the order of Concubine Wan, who else could it be?"

Nangong Xuanyu looked at Liu Ruyan and said, "Lady Wan, someone put snowweed in Lady Jiang's rouge, which caused a large rash on her face. Someone testified that on the day she brought back the rouge from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she met Hong'er from your palace. Do you have anything to explain?"

Liu Ruyan still had that weak demeanor, and her voice was gentle, which made me feel pity for her: "Your Majesty, we are sisters in the palace. Seeing Concubine Jiang's face become like this, I really feel sympathy, but this matter really has nothing to do with me."

At this time, Hong'er was also brought over. After kneeling on the ground and paying her respects, she hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, Queen, I only spoke a few words to Tao'er that day. I definitely did not poison Concubine Jiang's rouge. I hope Your Majesty and Queen will understand!"

Xuezhu was Jiang Wanning's most trusted confidant, and had just gone with her to Yilan Pavilion to pick someone up. She strode in from outside with a bag in her hand, and sneered after paying her respects.

"You are so bold, Hong'er. You still dare to quibble with the evidence! This bag of snowweed was found in your room. What else do you have to say?!"

Without the permission of His Majesty or the Empress, it is indeed not possible to search the residence of the imperial concubines at will, but Hong'er is just a maid. Anyway, she is a member of the Jiang family, and the Empress will protect her, so she killed first and reported later.

When they met Queen Jiang's eye contact, the imperial doctors immediately stepped forward to check.

"Your Majesty, Queen, this is indeed filled with snowweed, the same ingredient as the one in Concubine Jiang's rouge!"

Perhaps knowing that she could no longer hide it, Hong Er knelt in front of Liu Ruyan in panic, pulled her skirt and begged, "My lady, you said that although Concubine Jiang is not favored now, she is the Queen's biological sister and will rise again sooner or later. So we must take precautions and cut off her chance of winning favor now. I am always following your orders, you must save me!"
