Chapter 140: The Jade Pendant is Lost
The meaning of Chu Qingli's words, although he couldn't bear to be so harsh, but let Du Qinghe go over, I was afraid that he would have to stare at those subordinates to see if he really opened his mouth, Aunt Hua's hateful teeth itched, but she could only clench her fists, but on the surface, she couldn't tear her face with Chu Qingli.
"The concubine is also going to change her clothes, so she will retire first." Aunt Hua listened to the painful screams from the personal girl, and she couldn't listen to it anymore, so she found an excuse to leave the table.
"You also go to change your clothes first, and then come over to accompany the eldest prince later." An Pingbo said to his children, and the crowd dispersed.
But after Aunt Hua left the table, she passed by the side hall and saw the eldest prince's personal jade pendant on the table, and there was no one to guard it here, Aunt Hua rolled her eyes, and thought of a way in her heart, hoping to bring down Chu Qingli in one fell swoop to solve the big trouble in her heart.
"Up and down the Anping Bo Mansion, all come out." Yan Zichen's personal guards frowned, and roared angrily in Anpingbo's Mansion.
An Pingbo also came back from changing clothes, and for some reason, it was only a moment before the eldest prince lost his temper? An Pingbo naturally didn't dare to come forward to ask the eldest prince, so he could only sneak up to the eldest prince's personal guards, and he didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully behaved, "I don't know what happened in the lower official mansion that made the eldest prince unhappy?" ”
During the banquet, the eldest prince was still smiling, but now his face was full of annoyance, and he was holding his forehead, looking coldly at everything that happened in the courtyard.
Because something happened in An Pingbo's mansion, the personal guards of the eldest prince looked at An Pingbo and were slightly dissatisfied, although he answered, but his tone was very unpleasant, "The eldest prince's jade pendant has been lost and is being searched." ”
"Jade pendant?" An Pingbo was so surprised that he exclaimed, "How come? No one else came in or out of the house. An Pingbo also panicked, the dignified prince lost valuable things in his mansion, and he naturally couldn't escape the blame. An Pingbo originally thought that this was an excellent opportunity to stammer with the eldest prince, but he didn't expect that now Xiang Shang's head is gone.
When the personal guard heard An Pingbo's words, he said meaningfully: "No outsiders have come in, but there are a lot of hands in the house." ”
An Pingbo looked at the guard, surprised and angry, "What do you mean by this?" Are you saying that the people in my house stole the jade pendant of the eldest prince? ”
"Or else? Could it be that the eldest prince's jade pendant will still grow its feet and run away by itself? "The guards have directly convicted An Pingbo, even if he doesn't know about it, but after all, it happened in his mansion, and he has been accused of lax discipline.
"Are you all here?" The eldest prince looked at many people standing in the courtyard, and their faces had different expressions, some were frightened, some were puzzled, and some were calm.
When the personal guard heard the eldest prince's order, he threatened An Pingbo in a low voice, "The eldest prince's jade pendant had better be recovered, otherwise you will have the head of the entire An Pingbo Mansion." ”
An Pingbo was originally a timid person, and when the guard said this, he was naturally frightened and his eyes were empty. It took him a long time to react, looking at the people in the courtyard, his heart was full of anger, who was so desperate, he even dared to take the things of the eldest prince, and he also affected Anpingbo's mansion.
"Say, which of you took the jade pendant of the great prince? Say it! "An Pingbo now hopes that the jade pendant of the eldest prince can be found more than anyone else, the situation at home has just shown signs of improvement in the past two years, I thought it was bitter and sweet, but who would have thought that it would be happy and sad?
When Chu Qingli heard this, she knew what was happening, she turned her head and whispered to Chu Qinghan: "What kind of jade pendant, the eldest prince is so angry?" "If Chu Qingli hadn't listened to Xiao Pan and the second prince talk about what the eldest prince had done on weekdays, he would have really been deceived by his illusion. He was originally a person who was very good at disguise, trying his best not to offend people, and now he was angry in front of everyone, thinking that the jade pendant was very important to him.
Chu Qinghan nodded quietly on his face, "That jade pendant has followed the eldest prince for many years, and when the eldest prince was still in the womb, the emperor ordered someone to find the best jade and prepare it for the eldest prince, so this jade pendant is inseparable from the eldest prince." "Chu Qinghan is also on duty in the palace, so he has naturally heard of these things.
It's just that this is a long time ago, since the emperor married Concubine Shugui, the emperor has been very fond of her, and the prince born to Concubine Shu is even more fond of him, and he can't bring all the best things in the world to him. Therefore, after the crown prince was deposed, some people speculated that the emperor intended to be the son of the concubine, and it was really difficult to say whether the eldest prince could live in the East Palace.
Chu Qingli nodded to show that he understood, but he couldn't help complaining: "Since it is such an important thing, why didn't we take good care of it, but lost it, and let them all stand in the courtyard, in his eyes, we have all become thieves." ”
Although Chu Qinghan is usually smiling, he still knows how to be measured, he poked Chu Qingli with his arm, signaling her not to talk nonsense. Chu Qingli knew that there was no need to start a fire, so he didn't speak.
"Back to the eldest prince, they have searched their bodies, but they have not found the jade pendant." When the guard replied to the words of the eldest prince, his tone was also a little trembling, and after staying by the eldest prince's side for a long time, he naturally knew what kind of person he was.
Sure enough, when the eldest prince heard this, he glared at the guard fiercely, "Didn't find it?" If you don't find it, it's useless for you, why don't you hurry up and find it for me, do you want this palace to do it yourself? The eldest prince was furious, reached out and smashed the teacup on the table on the ground, and the good teacup shattered to the ground.
"Don't dare!" The guards were also startled, and quickly knelt down to admit their mistakes.
"Don't hurry up yet." Seeing that the guards were still dangling in front of him, the eldest prince was even more impatient, and his heart was like a burning fireball, and his chest was burning.
"Search! Every room was searched carefully for me, and I was not allowed to leave a single room untouched. The guards ordered, and a group of men and horses brought by the eldest prince immediately rushed into every room of Anpingbo's mansion, even the firewood room.
The people in the courtyard felt the anger of the eldest prince, and they didn't dare to come out, and they all lowered their heads and waited for the moment when the wind and waves were calm.
I don't know how long the time has passed, Chu Qingli is impatient, but An Pingbo is anxious in his heart, as if tens of thousands of years have passed.
"The Great Prince, I found it." There was finally a little joy in the guard's tone, if they couldn't find the jade pendant again, they were afraid that they would all have to get twenty boards.
The eldest prince was frowning, as if he was pretending to sleep, but when he heard the guard's reply, the eldest prince stood up from his chair and was impatient to see his jade pendant.
