In the treasury, Tou Yue'e was leading the palace maids and eunuchs to count the things in the warehouse, and Concubine Jiang's voice was too far away and there was too much noise around, so she didn't hear it, but she naturally heard Lin Yuan's shouts who rushed to the door of the warehouse. However, her prejudice against Lin Yuan made her ignore it without thinking about it.

Doesn't this merchant's daughter know that any mistake in the gift of the emperor is a big sin for losing her head? Actually yelling for her to get out? Is she slow to count?

If it's too slow, don't wait if you don't want to wait, but you have to pretend to be well-behaved in front of your mother, but you can't wait for such a little time!

What a mess!

"Continue to count, not a single object can be missed, you must know that any random thing in this warehouse is worthy of your cheap life." Yue'e kept a straight face, and unreservedly sent her resentment against Lin Yuan on the palace maids and eunuchs.

The palace maids and eunuchs only responded, and they naturally did not dare to have any objections to Yue'e, the confidant beside Concubine Jiang.

When Lin Yuan rushed in, he was already sweating, there was no ventilation in this warehouse all year round, and there was a fire burning outside, and it was naturally stuffy and hot inside.

"Sister Yue'e go out quickly, you don't need to count, the emperor is here, just let someone clean up this quickly." Lin Yuan said to Yue'e very quickly. The eunuchs have already sung, and the emperor and queen will come over at any time, but Yue'e is still leading people to count things in the treasury, what if they are really found? That thing certainly won't be too secretive! The internal response of the palace maid eunuch or the arson who did not know about it might be presented in front of the emperor.

Yue'e looked at Lin Yuan who ran in and was slightly stunned. But then she had an idea in her heart, she thought that Lin Yuan had entered the treasury at this time, and then went out to invite credit in front of the emperor.

Do you want to take the credit for counting the warehouse? It's really shallow!

She replied lukewarmly, "Miss Lin, the treasury is heavy, it's better for you to go out first, besides, the emperor is here, and the slaves and maids also have to be counted." ”

"Get out!" Ji Zongyu, who was closely behind Lin Yuan, glared at Yue'e angrily and interrupted Yue'e's words sharply. That look and tone had no room for Yue'e to refute. He hadn't realized that Yue'e had such an attitude towards Lin Yuan before. But this was not the time to talk about this, and he realized that someone must have been tampered with in this storeroom.

At the same time, Qiao Yihuan also stepped forward without saying a word and grabbed Yue'e's arm, if Yue'e refused to go out. will be tough on the other party's intention to pull out.

Yue'e was stunned by the reprimand. was pulled by Qiao Yihuan again. Then he smiled reluctantly, "Yes, the slave will go out." ”

That being said. However, Yue'e still held a grudge against Lin Yuan, and she greeted the palace maid and eunuch without yin or yang, "You don't have to count, let's go out, remember to say that it was under the command of Miss Lin, and the inventory was completed." ”

At this time, Ji Zongya and the queen outside had already walked to Concubine Jiang's side.

"I heard that the concubine is on fire, what's the matter? But what was burned? Ji Zongya asked with a frown. This fire came inexplicably, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Concubine Jiang was a little afraid on her face, "Somehow it suddenly burned, but fortunately it didn't burn the warehouse." She stared at the door of the warehouse, Yu'er and Yuanyuan went in for a while, why haven't they come out yet?

Ji Zongya nodded and didn't speak again, but his feet didn't stop, and he walked towards the door of the warehouse, which was blackened all around, but it was lit alone.

Concubine Jiang's heart jumped, and she wanted to stop one or two as soon as she moved under her feet.

And the queen's eyebrows moved, and she actually blocked in front of Concubine Jiang, with hypocritical concern on her face, "Niangniang hurry up and sit down to rest, I'm afraid that such a big fire will scare you, right?" By the way, what about Yu'er and Miss Lin? ”

Concubine Jiang hated in her heart, but she could only deal with it, "Ah, the two of them, they were still here just now, and they don't know where they went." She certainly couldn't have said that the two of them had gone into the storeroom.

Ji Zongya didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two behind him, and walked straight towards the warehouse, his feet were not fast, and he paced slowly.

Bai Xian was holding a lantern on the side, "Your Majesty, be careful, if this fire is not extinguished, it will not hurt the dragon's body." ”

Inside, Lin Yuan was relieved to see that all the palace maids and eunuchs had been called back by Yue'e. No matter what is in this treasury, as long as it is not found when the emperor is there.

"Sister Yue, let's go out." Lin Yuan said with some prostration.

But Yue'e became more and more disgusted in her heart, she didn't care whether Lin Yuan was going out to invite credit in front of the emperor, she only knew that it was Concubine Jiang who asked her to count the treasury.

She has always been responsible, and this time is no exception, looking at this group of palace maids and eunuchs, she asked, "Nothing is missing, right?" ”

A palace maid held up a wooden box with anxiety, "There is nothing missing, but the slave maid found this box on the shelf over there, and the slave maid remembered that there was no such box in the storehouse." ”

The small wooden box, which was about the length and width of a palm, was jet-black and inconspicuous, and there was not even a trace of lines on it, but it was Lin Yuan and Ji Zongyu's hearts that had just relaxed.

Is this the thing? Is this the box that the arsonist put into the storeroom?

This box must not appear in front of the emperor!

Lin Yuan's heart was about to jump out of her throat, she stretched out her hand to grab the box, and since she found her, she hid it first.

But Ji Zongyu was faster than her, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the box in his hand.

Fortunately, the box was not large, and he hid the box in the placket very quickly, although it was obvious at a glance, it was also put away.

"Alright, let's get out." Ji Zongyu suppressed his dissatisfaction with Yue'e and said quickly, "Remember that there is nothing less in the warehouse, nothing more!" You know?! ”

The palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to be disobedient, and hurriedly responded one by one.

And Yue'e was full of doubts, she had already realized that something was unusual, obviously the reason why Lin Yuan and Ji Zongyu entered the warehouse was not what she thought, but this box.

But what is this box?

Yue'e just wanted to open her mouth to ask, but she heard Ji Zongya's voice like a bell asking.

"What's not too much or less? What are you two little ones doing in this storeroom? Don't come out yet. ”

In the end, the fires of this era are more frightening than modern times, because there are no modern fire extinguishing tools, Ji Zongya walked to the gate of the warehouse, or stopped.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Moreover, he is the Son of Heaven, and he values his life more than anything else. Although the fire is extinguished, if there is a little spark in any of the sparks, how can it be obtained?

Ji Zongyu and Lin Yuan were glad that the emperor didn't come in, but they immediately pinched their hearts, the emperor obviously heard Ji Zongyu's warning to the palace maids and eunuchs just now, so the unusually conspicuous protrusion in Ji Zongyu's arms, as soon as the emperor saw it, he would ask.

"Little prince, give it to the slave." Yue'e leaned into her ear.

According to normal times, Ji Zongyu would naturally hand over the box to Yue, but Yue'e's previous performance really made him feel uneasy, he thought about it, took out the box, and then handed it over to Qiao Yihuan.

"Mama, put it away." Ji Zongyu only explained, he didn't need to say much, I believe Qiao Yihuan would understand. (To be continued.) )
