Chapter 666: The Imperial Physician Examines the Scar Medicine
"You always say that the women in the harem are all sisters, so I believed you and thought you were really sincere to me."
"So I have been keeping the scar removal medicine you sent me carefully. Concubine Dun was injured a few days ago, so I am offering her this gift."
"I didn't expect...I didn't expect..."
At this point, Shen Zhinian shook her head at Concubine Liang, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes: "You actually wanted to harm me by poisoning the scar removal medicine!"
"I feel really, really sorry for causing Concubine Dun to protect me from disaster this time..."
Concubine Dun's heart suddenly sank!
She could never have imagined that the scar removal medicine she used last time was not developed by Tang Luochuan, but was given to Concubine Xian by Concubine Liang!
Concubine Dun quickly realized that she had fallen into Concubine Xian's trap!
It’s sad that even the Empress Dowager said that Concubine Xian is extremely difficult to deal with!
Concubine Dun couldn't help but feel a little fortunate now. Fortunately, she knew that Concubine Xian was not easy to bring down, so she didn't point the spearhead at Concubine Xian right away, otherwise it would have been a bad ending at this point.
She reacted very quickly. In order to get herself out of the way, she quickly united with Shen Zhinian and looked at Concubine Liang in astonishment: "My Lady Concubine Liang, how could it be you?!"
"The arm of the Concubine Xian was also injured. I thought the imperial physician wanted to harm her. But the box of scar-removing medicine actually came from you..."
Dunpin didn't finish the rest of the words, but everyone understood what she meant.
Concubine Liang was not injured and did not need to use scar removal medicine, so there was no one who wanted to harm her.
There was something wrong with the scar removal medicine she gave me. There was only one possibility, that was she had bad intentions!
At this moment, even the emperor looked at Concubine Liang with a hint of suspicion...
Perhaps even Nangong Xuanyu himself did not realize that, since when, his trust in the daughter of his childhood sweetheart and mentor had been gone...
Concubine Liang had a bad feeling in her heart just now, but she didn't expect things to turn out to be exactly as she thought.
At the beginning, she gave the box of scar-removing medicine to Concubine Xian only out of kindness, because she couldn't bear to see such a beauty as Concubine Xian have scars on her arms.
Unfortunately... the human heart is unpredictable. In the end, that box of scar removal medicine became a tool for Concubine Xian to frame her.
Even though all suspicion fell on her, Concubine Liang remained calm.
She sighed in her heart and said slowly, "After the Lantern Festival, I learned that Concubine Xian's arm was injured. I did combine the ancient recipes and developed a box of scar removal medicine for her."
Immediately, Concubine Liang stood up and walked to Concubine Dun's side. She picked up the scar removal medicine on the table, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it: "It is this box."
"But I have never added anything bad to it. I really don't know why the wound would gradually fester after Concubine Dun used it."
Seeing this scene, Shen Zhinian's eyes deepened.
A long time ago, Concubine Liang recruited Xunyou, a palace maid who knew a little about poisons, into her service.
At that time, Shen Zhinian always suspected that Concubine Liang wanted to use Xunyou to do something bad, and was therefore vigilant.
Now it seems... toxicology and pharmacology have something in common. Perhaps Concubine Liang understands it better, and Xunyou is just a trick she uses to deceive others?
Concubine Dun rolled her eyes and quickly analyzed the pros and cons in her mind.
She couldn't get rid of Tang Luochuan today, but if she could get Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang to fight each other, she would also be able to reap the benefits!
Thinking of this, Concubine Dun frowned, her face full of confusion: "This...scar removal medicine was sent by Concubine Xian, but it was developed by Concubine Liang."
"I am stupid and don't know what's going on..."
Concubine Hao has been feeling better recently, so she came along today.
Concubine Liang was so kind to her, she really couldn't bear to see Concubine Liang being wronged, so she immediately said: "The scar removal medicine was indeed developed by Concubine Liang, but it has been so long since she gave the ointment to Concubine Xian. If something goes wrong, how can it be proved that it is related to Concubine Liang?"
Concubine Liang was very popular in the harem. As soon as Concubine Hao finished speaking, many people stood up to speak for her: "Yes, so much time has passed, and no one knows how many people have used the scar removal medicine. Concubine Liang had good intentions, but she had to suffer such an unprovoked disaster..."
"The scar removal medicine has been in Zhongcui Palace for such a long time. Who knows if someone has tampered with it? Can this be attributed to Concubine Liang?"
"Her Majesty Liang Fei has always been kindhearted and cares deeply for the sisters in the harem. I am willing to guarantee with my life that Her Majesty Liang Fei has no intention of harming anyone!"
"I also believe in Concubine Liang!"
"..."
The scar removal medicine was made in Changchun Palace and Zhongcui Palace. If it wasn’t made by Concubine Liang, it could only have been made by Concubine Xian.
Lady Sun sat on a chair, listening to their words, rubbing her belly and saying, "What a joke!"
"The scar removal medicine was developed by Concubine Liang. No one knows the ingredients better than her. If something goes wrong, who else should we turn to if not Concubine Liang?"
Concubine Hao was anxious to defend Concubine Liang: "Concubine Sun, you can't say that."
"Everyone knows that it took more than a month from the time Concubine Liang gave the scar-removing medicine to Concubine Xian, and then Concubine Xian gave it to Concubine Dun. In such a long period of time, who can guarantee that no one else has touched the scar-removing medicine?"
"How can you be sure that this was done by Concubine Liang?"
Concubine Sun snorted coldly: "You believe in Concubine Liang, and I also believe in Concubine Xian."
"I live in the same palace with the Concubine Xian every day. Don't I know what kind of person she is? There is no way that the Concubine Xian would tamper with the scar removal medicine!"
Both of them were pregnant with the emperor's heir, and their bodies were precious. When they argued, other concubines of lower rank did not dare to interrupt.
The emperor naturally believed Shen Zhinian.
But he also wanted to know who was responsible for this.
Just when Nangong Xuanyu was about to pass on Su Quanye——
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Shen Zhinian gave Fuqiu a look.
She immediately stepped forward, knelt in the center of the hall, and said, "Your Majesty, the substance in the scar removal medicine was definitely not put there by our queen. And this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Liang..."
Hearing Fuqiu's words, everyone looked at her in surprise, with some confusion in their eyes.
The emperor also asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?"
Fuqiu then said, "That day, the queen ordered me to give this box of scar-removing medicine to Concubine Dun. On the way to Yikun Palace, I ran into Imperial Doctor Tang and Imperial Doctor Zhang."
"Because Imperial Doctor Tang has been treating the wound on the arm of the Empress, he has thought of many ways to remove scars. So when he learned that what I was holding was the scar removal medicine developed by Concubine Liang, Imperial Doctor Tang was very curious, so he took it and examined it with Imperial Doctor Zhang."
"The two imperial doctors did not find anything unusual, so I guess the scar removal medicine was fine then."
