The autumn fragrant brocade curtain was lifted by a plain hand, Xi Pei came in with a colorful glass cup and bowed slightly, and saw Bai Yi's right hand clenched into a fist and his head propped up on the red sandalwood table, her eyes were closed, and her brows were slightly furrowed, she knew that Bai Yi must be awake, so she walked over lightly, put the glass cup on the table quietly, and said softly: "Master, this is the grape just sent from the village, you can taste it."

Bai Yi's eyes didn't open, and he replied directly: "Let it go, you go down." ”

"Yes, sir." Xi Pei didn't dare to persuade again, so he bowed and retreated.

That day in the study, Bai Yi could feel that the atmosphere between him and Lin Bining had changed, he thought that Lin Bining should like him a little, and he planned to go to Lin Mansion the next day, but who knew that something happened in the palace in the middle of the night, and he couldn't find time to see Lin Bining until now.

That night, I don't know which daring thief stole something and actually stole it to the palace! It was the Ninghua Garden of Prince Zhong who stole it, not only that, but the guy also set fire to the small incense hall and stunned a maid. Fortunately, when the incense hall was burned, the fire was put out in time, and only half of the incense hall was burned, but the portrait of the princess in the incense hall was burned to ashes, and the princess almost fainted after hearing it.

In the eyes of the princess, letting you burn the entire Ninghua Garden and steal the entire palace will not make her so angry! Because Prince Zhong was not in the palace recently, he told Bai Yi to catch the thief.

Someone is wild in the palace, and without the princess's orders, Bai Yi will also investigate to the end. However, the guards searched all night and did not find any suspicious people, only found the gold and silver jewelry left by the wall of Ninghua Garden, no more, no less, the stolen ones.

Bai Yi was almost laughed at by this thief, and all the things he had stolen for a long time were actually left in the courtyard. Although the palace didn't lose much, it was so easy to be mixed in, and it really deserved to be rectified.

He strengthened the patrol in the palace, and interrogated everyone one by one, but there was no news of the thieves, not only did the errand man at night not find any suspicious person, but even the maid in Ninghua Garden did not hear any movement, which is really incomprehensible!

For a few days, there was no progress at all, Bai Yi couldn't help but feel a little irritable, closed his eyes for a long time, and decided to go to see the princess. After the self-portrait was burned, the princess often had nightmares at night, and only by using dream sleep incense could she sleep a little more peacefully.

When Bai Yi arrived, he ran into his sister-in-law Xue Yuling, who was not very good-looking, and politely greeted her, and when she entered the house, she found that the princess's face was not very good, so she asked, "Mother, who are you angry with?" Tell your son and he will help you out. ”

Prince Zhong took a sip of tea, glanced at Bai Yi, and said, "Don't tell me you didn't touch her just now." ”

Bai Yi smiled and asked, "I don't see my sister-in-law's face is good, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's not for the thief's sake, saying that you haven't caught anyone after checking for so long, whether it's because you're young and unreliable, it's better to let Bai Mian help you." Prince Zhong pinched her throat, her tone was yin and yang, and she snorted lightly, "I don't know how careful she is, seeing that you are now in charge of the palace, I want her man to get a piece of the pie, and I don't want to think about Bai Mian's ability to match you!" ”

Bai Yi shook his head funny, saying that the princess is not like a child like this, so Wen Yan persuaded: "Sister-in-law has always spoken like this, you don't know, why bother with her to be idle, don't be angry with yourself, it's not worth it." ”

"I'm not angry with her, although she doesn't like what she says, but there is something that reminds me." Prince Zhong sighed, "She said that this disaster may be due to the fact that I usually offer too many portraits. Three sticks of fragrance every day, perennial melons and fruits, that is, the offering of Guanyin is not as pious as me. After all, the benefactor is just a mortal, I'm afraid I can't stand this, and I can't say that this time is a warning from God. ”

Bai Yi didn't believe in Buddhism, so he didn't answer.

"So the portrait is burned, I plan to go to Bao'an Temple to light an everlasting lamp for the benefactor, and let the Buddha bless the benefactor for me. You can find a good day in the incense hall, and find a craftsman to change it into a Buddhist hall. ”

"Okay," Bai Yi nodded, "When will the concubine go to Bao'an Temple, I will ask the eldest sister to accompany you." ”

"When do you think you're going to get better? You look at the son of Min Guogong, who not only accompanied the Duchess to incense, but also accompanied Master Hongxian to lecture on Zen for three days. Prince Zhong glanced at him, "Last time your second sister said that Yan Zhen knew a doctor who could cure this problem, when did you invite someone to come over and take a look?" ”

Bai Yi smiled and didn't answer, but fortunately, at this time, the maid came in and said that the little maid who had been knocked out by the thief that day had woken up, and he was busy asking people to lead the way to see the maid.

The maid who was knocked unconscious was called Cuizhu and worked as an errand in the incense hall. I fainted on the day of the incident, and the doctor said that it was fine, but no one woke up until I finally woke up just now.

Bai Yi asked Cuizhu to tidy up and ask questions in the western room, seeing that her blue shadow was serious and her face was haggard, she had a trace of doubt in her heart, and asked quietly: "Cuizhu, tell me in detail about the situation on the day of the incident." ”

"Back to the world, that day the slave and maid heard a sound in the next room in the incense hall, and went out to see a dark shadow, and before the slave and maid could call someone, the man knocked the slave and maid unconscious." Cuizhu hung her head and replied resignedly.

"Have you ever seen the man's face?"

"No, the man was masked." Cuizhu shook her head.

"When was the incense hall set on fire?"

"When the slave fainted, the incense hall was fine, it should be the fire that was set on fire after the slave fainted." Cuizhu shrunk her neck.

Bai Yi was silent and didn't ask again, the room was as silent as death, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Cuizhu's forehead, her body trembled slightly, Bai Yi suddenly said in a deep voice: "You raise your head and look at me." ”

Cuizhu didn't want to look up but didn't dare not look up, looking at Bai Yi's eyes dodging, her lips trembling. A possibility crossed Bai Yi's mind, and in an instant, he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "You lie." ”

Cuizhu knelt on the ground with a "bang" when she heard the words, and was so frightened that she cried directly, and now she was completely crushed by the fear of days, kowtowing and pleading: "The son of the world spares his life, the slave didn't mean it!" The son of the world spares his life! ”

It turned out that there were no thieves at all that night, and it was Cuizhu who accidentally touched the candle flame while napping and burned the portrait. She knew that the princess was very precious about the painting, and she was afraid of being punished, so she stole a few things and threw them in the corner, pretending that someone had burglarized the house.

Originally, he had not been able to find any clues of the thief, and Bai Yi had already begun to suspect whether it was done by someone in the palace. Later, when I saw Cuizhu's frightened appearance, I had some doubts in my heart, but I didn't expect the truth to be deceived by such a deception.

Cuizhu was the maid of Ninghua Garden, and Bai Yi handed her over to Prince Zhong for disposal. After the princess heard the truth, she sighed, but she didn't expect that the restlessness of the mansion for days was caused by the portrait, and she believed that this was a warning from God, and she couldn't bear to increase her sinful karma in vain, so she just sent Cuizhu to Zhuangzi far away.
