The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

[The eldest princess has a somewhat sharp tongue but a soft heart.]

[The head ornaments were left behind by the late queen. Xie Qingzhi usually kept them in the storeroom and was reluctant to take them out, but now she is willing to give them to me. As for the rouge and powder, these two also had them carefully selected and developed them.]

Xie Qingzhi is usually arrogant and would never say anything caring, so Gu Jianchu is not surprised.

[Honey, you can't use rouge and powder.]

The system that had not appeared for a long time appeared again.

Gu Jianchu almost threw away the rouge and powder she had just received because of the system's words.

Although the dog system does not appear normally, it will definitely appear when she is in danger.

Gu Jianchu never doubted the dog system's warning to her, otherwise she would not have been able to escape the plots of so many women in the harem.

Why can't it be used?

This rouge is mixed with a lot of herbs that can cause skin ulcers. It will ulcerate after a few uses, and using it too much may cause other problems.

He actually used such a vicious scheme to deal with her.

[It couldn't possibly be the eldest princess who did it.]

Although Xie Qingzhi is not very smart sometimes, he should not do such a thing as poisoning with real name, not to mention doing it in front of so many people. This is not giving Xie Ci'an a handle.

Even if the eldest princess wanted to die, she could find a more comfortable way to die. There was no need to dance in front of the emperor.

Besides, she had never offended Xie Qingzhi.

[It wasn't made by the eldest princess, but by the little maid in her shop.]

[To harm me, or to harm Xie Qingzhi.]

She has offended a lot of people for the sake of eating melons. If she wants to use Xie Qingzhi to harm her, it is understandable.

[Of course, they wanted to use you to harm Xie Qingzhi. Before Xie Qingzhi and Li Shicheng divorced, a little girl in her yard secretly seduced Li Shicheng while Xie Qingzhi wasn't paying attention. Xie Qingzhi's personal maid saw them and told her about it. Xie Qingzhi was jealous to begin with, so after learning about this, she sent the little girl to the stables to feed horses.]

【Then what.】

She was just sent to the stable to feed horses, which was not enough to drive people crazy enough to murder her in revenge against Xie Qingzhi.

Of course it wasn't over yet. The stables were a place filled with mostly grown men. Not long after the girl went there, a man took notice and raped her while she wasn't paying attention. Unable to bear the humiliation, the girl banged her head against a wall and died. The man hadn't expected the girl to be so fiery-tempered. He'd just slept with her, yet she'd actually committed suicide.

The man was afraid that if he made a big fuss about this, he would get himself killed, so he buried the girl's body under the stable when no one was paying attention. No one has found it to this day.

The little girl had a younger sister who was seriously ill and needed medication. Actually, the little girl's intention to seduce Li Shicheng wasn't to become his concubine, but to use him to get money to buy medicine for her sister's illness. Unexpectedly, the seduction didn't work, and she was discovered by people around Xie Qingzhi.

The little girl's younger sister couldn't contact her older sister, so she thought something had happened to her and secretly fled to the capital. The little girl was quite clever, using a human trafficker to gain entry to the princess's residence. She searched the entire palace but couldn't find her older sister, who was nowhere to be found. She asked around but couldn't find her whereabouts. Finally, she got the news from a kind old maid: Xie Qingzhi had banished her older sister to the stables for seducing Li Shicheng.

The young girl secretly visited the stables several times at night, bribing a servant and learning that her sister had suddenly vanished after only a few days. They searched for her but couldn't find her. Since she was just an insignificant little girl who had seduced the prince consort, the princess naturally wouldn't ask about it and simply let it go.

The little girl was convinced that Xie Qingzhi had killed her sister, and that sending her sister to the stable was just a deception, a ploy to make her disappear without anyone noticing.

The little girl tried her best to show off in front of the princess, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on her.

[She relied on her outstanding abilities to become the eldest princess's second-class maid. After waiting for so long, she finally got the chance to celebrate your birthday.]

[She's been taking medicine all year round and is very familiar with those herbs. When the eldest princess decided to give you rouge and powder, she secretly sneaked into the eldest princess's room and put the herbs she had prepared in advance into your rouge and powder. She wanted to use you to take revenge on Xie Qingzhi, to let Xie Qingzhi also taste the feeling of being killed with a borrowed knife.]

This incident was more or less a misunderstanding. Xie Qingzhi was certainly at fault, but her sister was exiled to the stables just to keep Li Shicheng away. Unexpectedly, something like this would happen, and instead, the real murderer remains at large.

Gu Jianchu was not holding the rouge box firmly, and the whole box fell out of her hand and landed on the poison-testing chopsticks that Wan Ning County Lady had sent. "Look at my hands. I can't even hold something steady. It's really ridiculous."

Zhuxi immediately stepped forward to help pick up the rouge from the box. The moment she took the rouge box away, she saw the silver chopsticks lying in the brocade box slowly turning black. They remembered that County Lady Wan Ning had said that these chopsticks were not easy to find and could be used to test any poison.

Zhuxi pointed at the chopsticks, his face showing horror. He stammered for a long time without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jianchu asked immediately.

Zhuxi pointed at the chopsticks in the brocade box, swallowed, and stammered, "The chopsticks turned black when the queen tested the poison."

The other people gathered in the room came forward to take a look, and indeed they saw that the chopsticks in the brocade box had turned black.

The eldest princess had seen a lot of things, so she said calmly, "These chopsticks can test any poison. They shouldn't turn black for no reason."

"Aunt, you mean that the rouge I gave to the Queen is poisonous." Xie Qingzhi immediately retorted.

Xie Qingzhi was the most beloved daughter of the late queen and the late emperor. She had been spoiled since childhood and would never suffer any loss.

The eldest princess wasn't one to suffer a loss, and she immediately retorted, "Isn't it obvious enough? The rouge and powder you gave me fell on the chopsticks, and the chopsticks immediately turned black. Are chopsticks supposed to turn black themselves?"

"After all, these chopsticks were found somewhere else. They can't turn black by themselves." The eldest princess said with sarcasm.

"I personally selected this rouge and powder and gave it to the Queen. How could I have poisoned it? Even if I wanted to poison it, I couldn't use such a stupid method. I would have poisoned it with my real name. Maybe there's something wrong with the things my aunt sent." Xie Qingzhi swore solemnly with his arms folded across his chest.
