Chapter 231: Exposed
Yuxi pretended to be a good person in front of Shen Ya. In fact, she should know in her heart that the person Cui Huo Gonggong is looking for is Shen Ya, but unfortunately she has no evidence and can't tell Cui Gonggong. Moreover, if she said it, it would arouse suspicion.
So even if she was unwilling, she could only watch Shen Ya pretend to be stupid in front of her, just as she pretended to be stupid in front of Shen Ya.
However, Yuxi was sure that there was something in Shen Ya's room that Grandpa Cui was looking for, and that thing was enough to make Shen Ya recover. So the unwillingness in her heart was quickly dissolved.
Although I don't know how Shen Ya escaped from Emperor Zhouzong, as long as there is that box of jewelry, Shen Ya can't escape. In this way, she can explain to her master.
The master was still smart and sent a box of jewelry to the woman. It was originally just an ordinary box of jewelry, but through her hands, all of it was replaced with the things used by the late concubine during her lifetime. Before, I just thought that I could add one more crime to the woman, and even more implement her charge of pretending to be the late concubine, but now despite this change, it is the box of things that has worked.
Yuxi, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the master is clever.
Shen Ya listened to Yuxi's explanation, and her face showed a sudden realization. Looking up at the menacing appearance of Father-in-law Cui and a group of little eunuchs, Shen Ya naturally would not resist, nodded obediently, and turned sideways to let people into the house. Shen Ya had already asked Harimu to help solve the clothes, and the jewelry was also taken away by Harim, so she didn't believe that these people could find anything from her room!
Grandpa Cui didn't expect Shen Ya to be so cooperative, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Thinking that she was Duanhou's very beloved daughter and the future concubine of His Royal Highness the Seventh, she didn't dare to slack off, and quickly explained: "Don't blame Miss Duan, the slave is also ordered by His Majesty, and if there is a place to offend, I hope that the girl Haihan." As he spoke, he bent down to make amends to her.
Shen Ya saw that Father-in-law Cui was so polite, and was a little flattered, so she quickly helped him and said: "Father-in-law, don't say that, you are on the orders of His Majesty, how can Ge Ya blame him, Father-in-law can just go into the house and search." Geya admits that she has not done anything against the palace rules, so she is naturally not afraid. ”
Seeing that Shen Ya was so sensible and very useful, Father-in-law Cui couldn't help but have a good impression of Shen Ya. "What the girl said is that the slave was offended." After speaking, he waved his hand and let a few little eunuchs enter the house to search, and warned: "You guys be careful not to mess up the place where the girl is located." ”
"Yes." Several eunuchs responded in unison, and then entered Shen Ya's room together.
Shen Ya and Grandpa Cui were waiting at the door. Yuxi looked at the side and looked proudly.
After about a quarter of an hour, several eunuchs came out.
"Father-in-law, there's nothing in the room."
After listening to the little eunuch's report, Gonggong Cui nodded as if it was expected: "Well, let's go, go and take a look elsewhere." After speaking, he was about to say goodbye to Shen Ya.
When Yuxi heard a few eunuchs report that they hadn't found anything, his face became extremely ugly, and he was stunned for a long time almost not believing what he heard, and only when Father-in-law Cui was about to leave, did he react, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, wait a minute." ”
Gonggong Cui had already left with a few eunuchs, but when he heard someone calling him behind him, he stopped his steps and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Seeing Yuxi hurriedly running over.
"What else is going on with you?" Grandpa Cui twisted his eyebrows and said.
"Father-in-law, Yuxi dares to ask Father-in-law, what is the search?" After speaking, he secretly withdrew the jade bracelet on his wrist and put it on Grandpa Cui's hand.
Gonggong Cui lowered his head and glanced at the color of the jade bracelet, glanced at Yuxi lightly, and said unhurriedly: "This matter is a matter of confidentiality, so I can't tell you."
Yuxi saw that he had lost a jade bracelet, but he couldn't pry open Grandpa Cui's mouth, and his face turned white with anger. It's a pity that she is a palace maid and can't have a dispute with the celebrities around the emperor, so she has to endure it.
"The slave maid went to the imperial dining room early in the morning, and I heard that she had lost something from the late concubine, could it be the late concubine's favorite jewelry?" Yuxi originally wanted to remind Grandpa Cui that he had forgotten to search the jewelry box in Shen Ya's room. In her opinion, it must be those eunuchs who were timid and didn't dare to touch it!
Seeing that Yuxi was still pestering, and wanted to find out the news from his mouth, Cui Gonggong was a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that this palace maid didn't know how to lift, if it weren't for the fact that she was in the queen mother's palace, he would have turned his face long ago. Gonggong Cui glanced at Yuxi coldly and said, "There are some things, I advise you to still don't know." After speaking, he pulled his sleeve from Yuxi's hand, glared at her, and left with a few eunuchs.
Yuxi watched Grandpa Cui leave, his face flushed with anger, and his chest rose and fell violently.
Shen Ya leaned against the door, gloating at Yuxi, feeling relieved.
Seeing Grandpa Cui going farther and farther, Yuxi gritted his teeth and decided to fight.
She quickly turned around and ran towards Shen Ya's house.
"Miss Duan, the slave maid will clean up the room for you, those eunuchs don't know how to do it, I'm afraid the house must be very messy." After speaking, without waiting for Shen Ya to agree, the person had already broken in.
Shen Ya looked coldly at Yuxi in her bedroom, as if she was tidying up, but she was actually looking for something.
She flipped through Shen Ya's dresser several times.
"Yuxi, what are you looking for?"
Just as Yuxi was busy flipping over Shen Ya's quilt and pillow, Shen Ya entered the house and asked faintly behind her.
When Yuxi heard the sound, his body stiffened suddenly. She turned her head and looked at Shen Ya who was standing behind her.
"Duan, what did Miss Duan say, why didn't Yuxi understand." As he spoke, he made Shen Ya's bed.
"Are you looking for this?" Shen Ya's hand, I don't know when, there was an extra box.
Seeing this, Yuxi's eyes lit up suddenly.
She almost wanted to rush out at a speed of 100 meters, and told Grandpa Cui that Shen Ya's room had the jewelry of the late concubine. However, when the box was opened and it was empty, Yuxi was completely desperate.
"Don't you think it's strange, why is it gone?" Shen Ya looked at Yuxi with a smile and said.
Yuxi's face was pale at the moment, but unfortunately she still refused to admit it: "Miss Duan, the slave doesn't understand what you're talking about." ”
"Hehe, don't you understand?" Shen Ya laughed twice, "It's you who replaced the things in the box with the jewelry of the late concubine!" You saw that after I opened the box and looked at something, I lost interest in the contents and would not open it again, so you changed it when you put the baggage for me on the day I came. ”
"The jewelry inside is all inlaid with gold and silver, gorgeous and extraordinarily jeweled jade." Shen Ya looked at Yuxi with a smile and continued to say leisurely: "But on the contrary, I have always liked simplicity and don't like luxury, so after one look, I won't take a second look." ”
