The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Xianfu Palace

The osmanthus tree in the courtyard is growing well. It was planted by the virtuous concubine when she entered the palace, symbolizing the arrival of a new noble. Now, the flowers have bloomed under the influence of the autumn wind, and the fragrance is everywhere in the courtyard.

At this moment, hysterical cries were heard from the virtuous concubine's bedroom: "Ah! Where is my hair? My hair!"

The virtuous concubine touched her bald head with one hand, at a loss as all her black hair fell out overnight.

Several personal palace maids stood outside the door with their hands hanging down, and then hurried into the inner room.

A tiger face suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was horrified and covered their slightly open mouths with one hand to stifle the surprised sound that had not yet been uttered, for fear that any sound would attract a beating.

Xianglian pushed the door open and walked in. She shuddered all over, as if a thunder had rolled over her head mercilessly, frightening her so much that her whole body trembled and her mind went blank.

The virtuous concubine's eyes were blazing with fire, and she roared like a mad lion, "Where is my hair? Who has the guts to cut it off?"

Xianglian and Hongye knelt down hurriedly. Xianglian stuttered a little, "Your Majesty, the palace gates were locked early last night, and no outsiders entered Xianfu Palace."

The virtuous concubine wanted to die, her face became ferocious: "Go and find out everything quickly. If I find out who it is, I will execute his entire family."

When Aunt Zhong came in, she exclaimed, "Madam, your hair? Your face?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xianglian and Hongye quickly fled.

They were the maids that came with Concubine Xian's dowry and knew what was going to happen next.

"My face? What happened to my face?"

The virtuous concubine's eyes were like a pair of black pebbles placed in deep, icy water. They looked clear and dark, but they contained a chill that could make one shiver to the bone.

Nanny Zhong was the virtuous concubine's mother's person. Since Nanny Li was poisoned to death, the virtuous concubine had no reliable person around her, so Nanny Zhong was sent to the palace.

At this time, Nanny Zhong didn't dare to say anything.

"Speak!" The virtuous concubine's eyes flashed with ferocity.

"The Queen's face has become like a tiger's!" Nanny Zhong said with a stiff face.

"Pa" Concubine Xian went up and slapped Nanny Zhong hard.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can I be a tiger face?"

Nanny Zhong stumbled and fell to the ground. Five finger marks appeared clearly on her weathered face, which became red and swollen.

The other side of the face that was not hit felt cold, like drops of water dripping from a melting icicle in early spring.

Nanny Zhong covered her face with one hand and knelt down, saying, "This old servant has spoken out of turn. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The virtuous concubine also felt uncomfortable on her face and came to the bronze mirror.

"what!"

At this moment, the bronze mirror was like a magic mirror. She touched her tense face with one hand and said, "How could this happen? Why did my face become like this?"

She started to cry loudly.

"Your Majesty, let's use water to see if we can wash it off." Nanny Zhong suggested.

The virtuous concubine believed it and began to wash her face over and over again, almost rubbing off a layer of skin, but the color of her face did not change at all.

Ye Qingyan used waterproof oil-based paints, which cannot be washed off easily.

"What should I do? How can I see the emperor and sleep with him?"

"Your Majesty, you cannot let others see your face. Now you can only pretend to be sick and tell others that you have caught a cold and am bedridden."

When Nanny Zhong turned around, she accidentally discovered the large golden characters on the wall. "Your Majesty, look, there are words on the wall!"

The virtuous concubine looked at the wall on one side and saw the words written on it: Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven.

Her body shook violently, and she immediately flew into a rage: "What do you mean by 'you're responsible for your own misfortunes'? I'm determined to live a wonderful life!"

The virtuous concubine fell into deep thought...

Xianglian and Hongye walked to a deserted corner, and Xianglian asked, "Sister Hongye, the queen's tiger face is obviously painted on, and the painting is very exquisite.

Hongye covered her mouth with her hand and scolded her, "You don't want to live anymore! Can you tell me about Tiger Face?

We must be extra careful when serving the Empress today, or we will suffer physical pain."

The two found Fu Heng, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and discovered that no outsiders had entered the palace.

…………

As the sun rose, the emperor opened his sleepy eyes. He sat up and touched his head as usual. Suddenly, he was startled, "My hair!"

He touched the top of his head again, and found it was bald.

He was completely bewildered, with alarm bells ringing in his heart, "Qin Wuyi, where is my hair?"

After Emperor Xuancheng finished shouting, he went to the mirror and looked at himself. He was immediately furious: "Qin Wuyi, what on earth is going on?"

Qin Wuyi had no choice but to tell the truth.

Emperor Xuancheng was puzzled:

"Who is so bold as to shave my hair in such a short time? How can I attend court in the morning?"

The emperor's anger did not diminish in the slightest: "Send someone to investigate. If they find out who did it, their entire family must be executed.

I have been emperor for more than 20 years, and this is the first time such a thing has happened.

I will be in the morning court later, and the ministers will definitely make fun of me. How can I bear it?"

Qin Wuyi's eyes turned, and he came up with a plan: "Your Majesty, a divine monk came to the palace last night and said that Dongqin would suffer a natural disaster that would not happen in a hundred years, and that you had a connection with Buddhism.

You need to be ordained to pray for the people of Dongqin in order to avert the natural disaster, so you let the divine monk ordain you."

The emperor finally accepted this proposal: "Qin Wuyi, you old fox, this is the only way."

After a while, the emperor appeared in the court wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown on his head.

Qin Wuyi said, "Yesterday, a divine monk entered the palace and observed the sky at night. He found that there would be a natural disaster in our Eastern Qin State.

Only by having the True Dragon Emperor shave his head and chant sutras a hundred times every day can natural disasters be averted.

The Emperor cared deeply about the people of the world, so he shaved his head and prayed for the people of the world."

All the civil and military officials kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty cares about the people of the world, and this is a blessing for the people."

Seeing the reactions of the officials, Emperor Xuancheng finally felt relieved.

…………

After breakfast, Concubine Xian did not put on makeup and sat on the bed with a tiger face.

She was still angry: "Hongye, go to the storehouse and get a hundred taels of silver, and go outside the palace to buy something to wash your face. Be sure to go to Baicaotang first, because the medicine there has different effects."

"Yes, I will go get the silver right away."

Concubine Xian gave the key to Hongye. When Hongye and Nanny Zhong opened the warehouse, they were stunned to see that it was empty.

Hongye felt a chill run down her back, her knees weakened with fear, and she collapsed to the ground. She cried, "Madame Zhong, what did you see?"

Nanny Zhong spoke haltingly: "Nothing is left, nothing is left."

"Mammy, what should we do? So many boxes and crates, all disappeared overnight. How are we going to explain this to the Empress?"

Nanny Zhong stood there blankly. "We can only speak the truth and cannot hide anything. This matter is of great importance. Neither you nor I can bear the consequences."

The two of them came before the virtuous concubine, and Nanny Zhong whispered, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The storehouse has been robbed, and all the items are missing."

This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Concubine Xian frowned and didn't believe it at all. She started to roar: "What nonsense are you talking about!

There are so many things in the warehouse, how could they just disappear out of thin air? Impossible!"
