Chapter 46: The Trapping of Bailing
A treacherous look flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Bailing at this time, and he took over with an angry face: "Needless to say, my daughter also checked the morning light bead after entering the palace, so she stayed in the box well, how could she suddenly disappear."

It must have been stolen by someone with unclean hands and feet, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find out. ”
"Oh? Is the county lord sure that this morning light bead was stolen after entering the palace? ”
The Marquis of Xiling also turned his head to her: "Yes, Li'er, are you sure?" ”
The county lord of Bailing had a straight back: "Of course, my daughter was afraid that something would go wrong at that time, so before she sat down, she also brought Xing'er over to check, and Xing'er could testify." ”
At this time, a little maid with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing next to the Xiling Marquis sat down quickly and walked to the hall and knelt down: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it was like this at that time, the time was still early when the Hou Ye and the county lord arrived, so they handed over the gift to Fang Gonggong early, and then the young lady saw more and more people, and she was afraid that there would be a mistake in the gifts of many people, so she took the slave and the maid to the place where the gift was placed to confirm. ”
The county lord of Bailing nodded, and looked up at Lian Che: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the case, the theft of the orb is really not done by my father, it must be someone who can't see the rare things, so he stole the orb, please order His Royal Highness to find out the thief, dare to steal the treasure dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will not be able to atone for his sins in death." ”
The pot exploded among the ministers, "You said that this thief is really bold, and even dares to steal things from His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really fatal." ”
"Isn't it, it's really shameful to do such a thing in front of everyone." "I don't know who this person is, he dares to touch his head in front of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Lian Che thought for a moment and stood up, "Where is Grandpa Fang?" ”
A eunuch in his forties, who was about forty years old, pounced and knelt down in front of Lian Che: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave is here." ”
"What the county lord just said is true?"
"Back to Your Highness, the county lord did come to check on me halfway."
"Was the orb still in the box then?"
"This..."
He hesitated, the county lord's eyes stared at him and his scalp was numb, but after living in the palace for so many years, he also knew that some muddy waters could not flow, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense if he didn't figure out the situation. Lian Che raised his eyebrows: "What?" Is there anything you can't say? ”
Father-in-law Fang shuddered, and hurriedly explained, "When the county lord came, it happened that Lord Wang was also sending gifts, so the old slave didn't see if there were any orbs in the box. ”
The county lord of Bailing suddenly ran to him and glared at Gonggong Fang, secretly scolding him for not knowing what to do, while quickly changing his expression of righteous words: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the matter of the morning light bead in the box at that time was true, and Xing'er also saw it, everything I said is true, please ask the prince to understand." ”
Xing'er, who was kneeling next to her, hurriedly raised her head: "Back to Your Highness, everything the county lord said is true, and the treasure bead was indeed still in the box at that time." ”
Lian Che stood with his hands in his hands: "In this way, it was indeed lost after entering the palace, who is so bold that he dares to steal in the palace?" ”
"I think it must be the villain who has a bad mind and has never seen anything in the world, please Your Highness must find her out and punish her severely."
Lian Che ignored her words, raised his hand and signaled to the princes and princes around him to recruit the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace for interrogation one by one, the county lord of Bailing glanced at Shen Qing slantedly, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes, it was the appearance of this woman that Brother Mo did not recognize the marriage contract with her, she would never allow this woman to entangle Brother Mo anymore, today is just a small punishment, look at you when you are ruined, how can you still think about being a concubine for Brother Mo.
In the center of the main hall, the palace maids and eunuchs were divided into four columns and stood still, Lian Che left his seat and stood next to the steps, the prince stood in front of everyone, and was about to speak, when suddenly, the palace maid in emerald green clothes knelt down in front of Lian Che
"His Royal Highness the Prince, slave maid, slave maid has something to say."
"Bold, what's your name, but you took the jewel offered by Xiling? It's not too fast to be honest. ”
The prince's sharp voice sounded, and he looked at the kneeling woman in the palace with an angry face.
The woman was startled, she kowtowed nervously, "Back to Your Highness, the slave and maid are dyed, the jewel, the jewel is not taken by the slave and the maid, the slave, the slave knows who the thief is." ”
Everyone in the hall was shocked, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and wondered in their hearts, who had the courage to steal things in the main hall.
Shen Qing had a faint smile on his lips, and as expected, his hand crossed the heavy figures in the hall and pointed straight at her.
With the disbelief of everyone in the hall, the county lord of Bailing smiled weirdly.
Lian Che's eyes lit up, and he looked at the palace maid kneeling in the hall like electricity: "You can see clearly, give you another chance, don't talk nonsense." ”
Ling Lingshan had been sitting beside him without saying a word, and when he heard the words, he actually wanted to defend her, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily overflowed with a trace of bitterness.
Siran was frightened by his gaze, and somehow, she seemed to sense that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's tone seemed to contain a threat.
She secretly glanced in the direction of the Bailing County Lord, and after the other party gave her a reassuring look, she continued with a trembling swish: "The slave's name is Xi Ran, and she is the person next to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Princess Yueyao got up and nodded to Lian Che and said, "Second brother, this is indeed my girl." ”
I heard her say again: "The slave maid was ordered by Her Royal Highness the princess to pick a bouquet of flowers just now, and when she passed the pavilion, she saw Miss Shen alone in the pavilion, and the banquet was about to start, so the slave and maid went over to remind Miss Shen and asked her not to miss the time, Miss Shen asked the slave and maid to help her over, and the slave and maid did not dare to disobey, so she stepped forward to help her, but..."
She glanced at Shen Qing as if she was scared, with an open expression.
She closed her eyes and said: "However, when the slave was helping Miss Shen, she accidentally saw that Miss Shen's cuffs seemed to have a soft light overflowing, and when the slave and maid helped her, she accidentally touched a hard object. At that time, the slave maid felt strange, until she heard that the jewel that Marquis Xiling had dedicated to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stolen, and she suddenly realized that the jewel must be on Miss Shen. ”
Countless disdainful, shocked, worried, or gloating eyes hit Shen Qing, and she just sat quietly with a faint smile on her lips.
Ren Bailing tried her best to hide it, Shen Qing still saw a thick look of pride in her eyes, Shen Yushi frowned, her hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and she was about to open her mouth to defend Shen Qing, but she threw a reassuring look at him, only to see her brushing the azure pigment skirt on her body and standing up elegantly.
