Chapter 38: Stealing
Jun Mo regretted that he had just gathered the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall, but the news of the theft of the jade seal spread throughout the palace in an instant.
However, a few days later, the collapse of the imperial tomb has just subsided, but the theft of the national jade seal has once again set off a storm, and it was stolen in the palace of the king!
"The concubine has arrived~!"
There is no surprise, this incident alarmed the concubine Niangniang, who was still eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and Jun Mo regretted that he didn't even have time to interrogate the palace maid and eunuch, so he went out to welcome the concubine to the prince's palace.
"Concubine Niang Jin'an." Jun Moxi bowed slightly, and the concubine snorted with an unkind face and said: "This has not yet ascended the throne, and so many things have been made, it is really unstable in Hanyang." ”
Jun Mo Xi pursed her lips slightly and said nothing, the concubine sat on top of the head, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs who were trembling and kneeling on the ground below, narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "The Hanyang jade seal was stolen in the prince's palace, and all the palace maids and eunuchs on duty in the prince's palace will report your daily duties and rest one by one." ”
"If anyone in the know says about this thief, the mourner will be rewarded!" The concubine narrowed her eyes.
As the concubine's words fell, all the palace maids below whispered, and only the two palace maids were the most stable, that is, the Ganoderma lucidum and black medicine that were served by Jun Moxi's side.
After some interrogation, everyone was abiding by their positions, and there was nothing wrong with it, the concubine frowned a little irritably, glanced at the people below and said, "Does no one have anything to say?" ”
The kneeling people below were silent, Jun Mo Xi raised his eyes and stared at the cheeks one by one, except for seeing the look of doubt and fear, he didn't see any other expressions, could it be that this Hanyang jade seal was not stolen by the people in the palace, Jun Mo Xi thought that he suddenly shook his body, could it be the man with an iron mask?
Jun Moxi narrowed his eyes coldly, and suddenly thought of what she asked Ying Yi to investigate, when this iron-masked man first entered the palace, it was because he was found in Jun Qianyi's dragon bed, so he was seriously injured and ran to Jun Moxi's palace, as for why this man wanted to go to Jun Qianyi's bedroom, Jun Moxi didn't know.
In addition, he visited Jun Moxi's dormitory for a few days but didn't do anything, is it just to find out where Jun Moxi put this jade seal, no wonder Jun Moxi has always wondered why he visited the palace again, it turned out that it was the idea of the jade seal that was fought early, but I don't know whether this man is the emperor's uncle's person, or the people of the other six countries, Jun Moxi but I don't know.
Jun Mo Xi clenched his fists tightly after thinking about it, and the interrogation below reached an impasse, and at this moment, Jun Xinyu, who came with the concubine, said timidly: "Concubine, the retainer remembers that there seems to be a palace maid in His Royal Highness's palace who has been stealing before. ”
Jun Xinyu's voice was soft and tender, but the words spit out by that weak voice made Jun Moxi frown fiercely, and looked sideways at the black medicine that changed his face because of Jun Xinyu's words.
"Oh? How could there be such a person in the prince's palace? Who is it? The concubine grabbed the spearhead at this time, and broke off, and the majesty exuded from her whole body made all the palace maids and eunuchs lower their heads again, only Wuyao straightened her waist, straightened up and said, "It's a slave." ”
The stubborn eyes and body, if it were placed on weekdays, it would be able to make the master sigh, but now this is the moment when everyone is in danger, and making this gesture again has somewhat slapped the concubine's face, and that look really made the concubine's eyes look disgusted.
"This girl used to be an errand boy in the Erchen Palace, and later was sent to the punishment hall for stealing the hairpin of the Erchen, but ...... In the end, he was brought out by His Royal Highness and kept by his side as a maid...... "Speaking of the back, Jun Xinyu's voice became smaller and smaller, and he glanced at Jun Mo with some fear, and then quickly lowered his head.
"And such a thing?" The concubine frowned tightly, looked straight at the black medicine and shouted: "If you don't recruit it from the truth, where did you steal the jade seal!" ”
"Concubine Niangniang forgive her sins! The slave didn't steal the jade seal! Wu Yao bit his lower lip tightly and bowed down.
"Concubine Niangniang forgives her sins, it is impossible for Wuyao to steal the jade seal, she will not steal things." Lingzhi on the side was also frightened, and hurriedly defended the black medicine.
It's just that at such a time, it is better not to justify it, and the words of this Lingzhi made the suspicious look in the concubine's eyes even deeper.
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother shouted, looked at the black medicine tightly and said, "Isn't it the enemy's country's finesse?" Peeping at me Hanyang can't be done!? ”
"No wonder there are means to bewitch His Royal Highness and take her as a girl...... Jun Xinyu seemed to say very clearly, and suddenly the concubine decided that this black medicine was the one who stole the jade seal, Jun Mo didn't hesitate to stand aside without saying a word, Wu Yao's face turned pale and raised his head, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Turning his eyes to look at Jun Moxi, he didn't see the look in Jun Moxi's eyes, he only saw Jun Moxi's calm face as usual, Wuyao's eyes were full of tears, but he stubbornly didn't let the tears slide down.
"It's not like it's from the truth! By whom do you command? What is the purpose! Where is the jade seal now! After a series of interruptions, Wuyao trembled and prostrate on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "The slave didn't steal the jade seal!" ”
"Good! It's still a hard-mouthed one. The concubine glared at Wuyao fiercely, what she couldn't see the most was such a stubborn girl, and suddenly raised her hand and said, "Someone! Bring it into Dali Temple for careful interrogation! The mourners want to see if your mouth is hard or your bones are hard! ”
"The slave is wronged!" Wuyao's face was pale, who didn't know how terrible the torture in Dali Temple was, how could this little girl be sent to Dali Temple and come out.
"The concubine spare her life...... This ......" Lingzhi was also frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed to the concubine.
"Who dares to intercede! Take it all away! It's just that after the concubine's words fell, Lingzhi trembled and closed his mouth, and the maids and eunuchs below held their breath one by one and didn't dare to say a word again.
"A girl with the stain of theft dares to recruit into the palace, it seems that the queen's discipline is too little." The concubine stood up as she spoke, glanced at Jun Mo Xi coldly, and said, "If the Hanyang jade seal can't be found, the mourning family won't be able to sit for long as you are the prince!" ”
Jun Moxi's eyes were deep, and he watched the concubine throw off his sleeve robe and leave without saying a word.
Jun Mo Xi watched the concubine go away, the look in his eyes was unknown, he took a deep look at Lingzhi on the side, and returned to the room without saying a word, a group of maids and eunuchs still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, although the concubine had left in this hall, but this depressing breath did not dissipate.
"Let's all go down." Jun Moxi's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest ripple, Lingzhi's face was full of tears, he raised his eyes to look at Jun Moxi, and his trembling body bowed his head and said, "Please ask Your Highness to save the medicine." ”
