Chapter 43: Jade Seal
"Very well, there's something for you to do." Jun Mo Xi gently put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyes slightly to look at Qi An, and the deep look in his eyes saw Qi An's fierce shock.
"Your Highness, please command."
Between the harem paths of Hanyang, Lingzhi walked to the dining court as usual to pass the meal for the king, these days seem to have returned to the past, she is the only one to take care of His Royal Highness's food and clothing, Lingzhi happily hooked the corners of his mouth, and all the palace maids who passed by saw Lingzhi and bowed.
Because Lingzhi is the big maid around you, her identity is a little more noble than that of ordinary maids, and in this Hanyang Palace, the respect and humility are the most demanding, and the etiquette naturally cannot be left behind.
"I heard that the palace maid named Wuyao is going to be beheaded today." On the side of the corridor, Lingzhi was about to turn around, when suddenly this familiar name came to his ears, which suddenly made Lingzhi pause, quietly leaned towards the side of the pillar, and listened to the two second-class maids discussing together in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, I also heard it, I heard the big maid next to the Third Highness say that the palace maid was tortured all over the Dali Temple, and she couldn't bear it and confessed."
"No, I think it's scary to hear......"
"Your Highness, I don't know if someone has been sent to search and find the jade seal."
"I don't know, the people on His Highness's side are very strict, I asked a few people, and they refused to say, but looking at the happy looks, they should have found the jade seal."
"Speaking of which, this black medicine is also a character, it's a pity that he is going to be beheaded......"
The two palace maids said one by one, Lingzhi who was listening behind the pillar only felt a tremor in his chest, gasped violently, his face was full of surprise, and he didn't know how to walk to the dining court, the whole person was dizzy, if it wasn't for the people in the dining court who shouted the name of Lingzhi loudly, it is estimated that Lingzhi would still not be able to come back to his senses.
When Lingzhi returned to the prince's palace, the words of the two palace maids echoed in his ears, and he felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Ganoderma lucidum? Why are you so dead today? Jun Mo Xi frowned, looked at Lingzhi and asked with an absent-minded look.
"Your Highness forgives your sins, the slave and maid are just in a trance for a while." Lingzhi's face turned slightly pale, and he knelt down in a hurry, Jun Mo regretted looking at Lingzhi's face, paused slightly, and said: "That's it, Qi An is on leave today, so you will come to the inner room to serve the palace for review and review." ”
"The slave obeys."
After lunch, Jun Mo Xi sat on the side of the desk as usual and flipped through the sketches, sometimes frowning, sometimes pondering, as usual, this appearance fell in Lingzhi's eyes, and Lingzhi's heart that had been beating violently was slightly soothed.
It's just that when Jun Moxi took out the dragon head brocade box, Lingzhi's face suddenly turned pale, and he stared at Jun Moxi to open the brocade box slowly, and in the brocade box, a jade seal carved from white jade came into Lingzhi's eyes, which trembled in Lingzhi's hands and dripped.
Jun Mo Xi paused with the hand holding the jade seal, and looked at Lingzhi suspiciously, Lingzhi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Highness forgives the sin, the slave and maid didn't notice it for a while, so it defiled the case." ”
"Huh?" Jun Mo Xi closed the lid of the brocade box, looked at the Lingzhi who was kneeling on the ground with an uncertain expression, and said, "That's it, you go down, there is no need to serve around the palace." ”
Lingzhi retreated tremblingly, and only raised his head when he went outside, and his little face was already pale and bloodless.
Decree! It's actually a jade seal!
How could the jade seal be found?
This...... When was this? Why didn't she know at all?
At this time, Lingzhi was already full of confusion, and when he stayed in his house until the night, he finally couldn't sit still, hurriedly changed into a second-class maid's clothes, walked out of the secret door in the prince's palace, looked left and right, and made sure that no one was following before continuing to walk, and came to a dilapidated cold palace in the harem, and cautiously pushed the door in.
After a long detour, I came to the edge of a dry well, Lingzhi looked around vigilantly, and then put his hand into the dry well, it turned out that the edge of the dry well actually hid the end of a rope, Lingzhi carefully pulled the rope up slowly, and a black box appeared in front of Lingzhi.
Lingzhi carefully took out the box, looked around and opened the box, there was a jade seal stolen by Hanyang lying inside, Lingzhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, this jade seal is obviously here, and the jade seal that you don't regret is ......
"Lingzhi, you've disappointed this palace too much." In vain, the familiar and calm voice behind him came, Lingzhi's eyes widened in horror, Huo Ran turned around, torches lit up around the pitch black, Jun Moxi stood proudly behind Lingzhi in a dark purple robe, as if he had been standing there without moving, Qi An stood beside Jun Moxi.
And the guards behind Jun Moxi had already surrounded Lingzhi with a pale face, Lingzhi looked at Jun Moxi in disbelief, how could he never have imagined that Jun Moxi would appear here at this time, shouldn't it be in the prince's palace?
"Temple...... His Royal Highness ......" Lingzhi trembled his lips and looked at Jun Moxi, Jun Moxi's eyes were calm and slightly lowered his eyes and glanced at the wooden box in Lingzhi's hand that was opening widely, and the jade seal was lying in it so quietly, Lingzhi was shocked to realize the thing he was holding in his hand, and he was so frightened that his feet were soft and he fell to the ground.
"Why ......" Jun Moxi closed his eyes slightly, stared at Lingzhi tightly, and asked, "Why did you steal the jade seal?" ”
"Slave maid...... The slave maid ......" Lingzhi's lips trembled, and she was afraid in her heart, her little face had no trace of blood, why did things deviate from her expectations, why did it look like this.
"Tell me the truth." Jun Moxi's flat tone seemed to have some kind of strange magic, Lingzhi's eyes were full of tears and looked at Jun Moxi, and finally choked up and said: "The slave deserves death!" The slave did not intend to steal His Highness's jade seal...... It's just that...... Just ......"
"The slave is jealous that Wuyao can get the favor of His Highness! Obviously, the slave maid was the first to serve His Highness, why did the slave and maid become superfluous people! The slave is not reconciled! Lingzhi said, with a glint of jealousy in his eyes.
"So ......"
"So you stole the jade seal and gave it to Wuyao?" Jun Moxi's expression was flat, but his eyes were full of disappointment, Lingzhi was shocked, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Jun Moxi and said: "Your Highness, the slave doesn't want to take the jade seal for anything, as long as it ...... As long as Wuyao confesses...... Slaves and maids can ...... Serve by Your Highness's side forever! ”
"Slave maid...... The slave knew that Wuyao had confessed, so she wanted to take the jade seal back and send it to His Highness! His Royal Highness ......" Lingzhi looked at Jun Mo with surprise on his face, and handed the jade seal in his hand forward tremblingly.
