There were countless concubines in the harem. How could a little beautiful Empress Dowager see it? She just thought she was here to flatter the emperor in order to please the emperor. She said without raising her eyelids, "Tell me!"

Beauty Lian raised her head and pointed to the Lotus Sutra that the Empress Dowager placed beside her like a treasure, "This sutra is fake!"

The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned, "Oh?" and after being surprised, she instantly returned to normal. Compared to Beauty Lian, she obviously trusted Xu Shu and Master Miaofan behind Xu Shu.

Beauty Lian lowered her head and looked at Xu Shu secretly. Xu Shu was having a good conversation with Wan on the side. Beauty Lian gritted her teeth and said, "I happened to meet Miss Xu Jiu on the way here. I heard that she was going to offer this scripture to you. I was jealous for a moment, so I took a look and accidentally left a rouge seal on the scripture. However, when Miss Xu Jiu presented the book, I did not see any marks on this book!"

Anyway, the original work has been torn apart by her, so Beauty Lian can lie unscrupulously. Even if Xu Shu knows that she is lying, she will not dare to expose it. Once it is exposed, Xu Shu can't escape the punishment of deceiving the king.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning after hearing what the beautiful woman Lian said. She didn't like the beautiful woman Lian's attitude. She obviously gave her something to her, but she insisted on taking a look, not knowing how to judge! But she also listened to the beautiful woman Lian's words. She took the scriptures and looked at her. It was indeed clean. Although the paper was a little old, there was no other mark. The Empress Dowager's brows frowned a little tighter. She looked up at Xu Shu, and finally asked Xiaoluzi to invite Xu Shu over.

The little path led Xu Shu to stand beside Beauty Lian. After Xu Shu saluted, she asked sideways, "Is it Beauty Lian?"

Beauty Lian smiled proudly, "That's it!"

Xu Shu also smiled, "What a coincidence. My daughter had just met you next to Qiudiyuan. She still remembers the smell of powder on you!"

It’s Qiudiyuan again!

The Empress Dowager looked at Mei Ren Lian, and a panic flashed on Mei Ren Lian’s face that she had no time to hide. The Empress Dowager had a scheming in her heart, but she was more concerned about the authenticity of the scriptures she had obtained.

"My beauty Lian said that the Lotus Sutra you presented to Ai's family is fake, and Ai's family does not believe it, but Madame Lian is unwilling to forgive her. Ai's family will ask you to confront her to prove your innocence!" The Empress Dowager said very lovingly.

Xu Shu opened her mouth in surprise, "How could it be fake? After my master gave it to me, I kept it forever. No one had ever seen it. Until today, when I entered the palace, Meiren Lian insisted on seeing it, but the daughter could not resist it, so she had to see it for the beauty!"

Xu Shu's words confirmed the lies of Meiren Lian. Meiren Lian became more and more proud, and knew that Xu Shu didn't have the courage to expose her lies. "Master Miaofan is a master of the world. It is impossible for him to deceive the Empress Dowager with a forged scripture. It must be Miss Xu Jiu, you are greedy for this scripture and want to take it for yourself, so you secretly exchange it with a fake one!"

Xu Shu shook her head, "It's not like this. Even if you borrow 1,000 to 10,000 courage from the ministers, you dare not have any false thoughts about the Empress Dowager's things. The Empress checks it out! This book is really what the Master gave to the ministers!"

Mei Lian snorted, "According to what you said, this fake scripture was also given to you by your master?"

"Master, she is even more unlikely to deceive the Empress Dowager!" Xu Shu waved her hands repeatedly, "If the minister and the young master really wanted to take this rare book for themselves, they would have replaced it at home. Why should they bring it into the palace and then do anything?"

Meiren Lian was stunned, her eyes turned around, and soon thought of rebuttal words, "Since you said that you would not show anyone this scripture, but you gave it to me alone. When you looked at the fake scripture that was discovered, someone could prove that you did bring the real to the palace, but at the same time you also brought the fake one in! But you didn't expect that the mark I didn't leave on the original works became evidence to expose your behavior!"

This statement was a bit reasonable. Even the Empress Dowager nodded almost invisibly. Because the debate between beauty Lian was too loud, the people around him, including the emperor and the queen, couldn't help but calm down and look at the main seat. The person who had been quiet and sat a little further also followed him and came to see him. But for a moment, the lively atmosphere in the audience suddenly turned into whispers, all of whom were speculating about what had happened above.

Xu Shu, who was accused by Beauty Lian, was not panicked, but instead asked Beauty Lian, "If it is true as the beauty said, I brought both the original works and the forged works, and presented the forged works to the Empress Dowager, the authentic works must still be on me. I am willing to undergo a body search to prove my innocence!"

Xu Shu said with confidence and no guilt. Meiren Lian glanced at Xu Shu's clothes and found nowhere to hide a scripture. She was a little anxious. She hurriedly saw the queen and suddenly remembered that Xu Shu had entered the palace with the queen. She hurriedly said, "Since Miss Xu Jiu dared to ask for a body search, it means that the scriptures are no longer on her, and even if they are searched, they can't be found!"

"Since this is the case, so what should we do?" the Empress Dowager asked in a deep voice.

Beauty Lian had to bite the bullet and pull the queen into the water. "Miss Xu Jiu entered the palace with the Queen just now. Maybe... maybe... the original work has been given to the Queen by Miss Xu Jiu!"

"Nonsense!" The queen was furious and scolded her loudly, but she stopped under the quiet and profound gaze of the Empress Dowager.

With the support of the Empress Dowager, Mei Lian is more confident. "Ms. Xu Jiu said that she got lost near Qiudiyuan, and it is far away from Kunning Palace. Queen, you said you left the seat by the time you left the table because you said you were sick, so how could you meet Miss Xu Jiu by chance?"

"All nonsense!" The queen sneered, left the seat, and walked to the Empress Dowager. "What do I want to ask you about this? Lian Meiren, you live in Changchun Pavilion next to Zhongcui Palace, between this banquet living room and Qiudiyuan. You are coming here, but you pass by Qiudiyuan. It is a completely different place. I will ask you, why did you go to Qiudiyuan?"

"I can't just walk around casually?" Mei Meiren Lian was distorted.

"Come on the go?" The queen sneered, "I just walked to Qiudiyuan and met Miss Xu Jiu who was lost. I should read the scriptures that Miss Xu Jiu wanted to present to the Empress Dowager. Then the book became fake. I would suspect that you were bullying Miss Xu Jiu and couldn't see her and secretly dropped her bag!"

The queen's speculation is not without reason!

The Empress Dowager's suspicious eyes fell on Mei Ren Lian, and Mei Ren hurriedly explained, "I don't have any, I don't have any!"
