Volume 1: The first time I walked into the Ning Xiao Gate, I met the crown prince Fu Yuying for the first time Chapter 42: Theft

"Yi Xuan's identity?" Fu Yuying pondered, "He used to run a medicine shop in Lingcheng, and after I got to know him, I also sent someone to secretly check his origins, but it took nearly half a year to check all the population of Ye Country, and I didn't find a single family member of Yi Xuan." ”

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, even Fu Yuying didn't know Yi Xuan's identity......

Fu Yuying frowned and looked at me and asked, "What are you asking for?" ”

It was only after hearing his question that I came back to my senses, and then replied casually, "It's just curious." After a pause, I asked him again, "Didn't you try to figure it out again?" ”

"There's no need for that." Fu Yuying said to me lightly, and after taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Although I don't know what his purpose was when he first approached me, but after knowing each other for so many years, he knows me well, and compared to others, it is easier for him to harm me, so since he doesn't have the intention of harming me, I don't need to dig deeper." ”

I was a little puzzled: "How dare you let him know so much about you without finding out where he came from?" It's not like you to trust someone so easily. ”

"You know me." Fu Yuying chuckled lightly and said: "Although he has occasionally worked against me over the years, he has also helped me with a lot of things, and I am also half a confidant, so there is nothing to prevent." ”

I nodded silently and said no more.

After Fu Yuying finished chatting with me, he stayed in Ningxiao, and early the next morning, he took me into the palace.

I came to Concubine Qing's palace, and after seeing Concubine Qing, I told her what Fu Yuying meant.

She didn't show any expression about this, as if it was expected, she played with the dice on the table as she did yesterday, and asked me unhurriedly: "Did Fu Yuying say how to deal with the queen?" ”

I shook my head and replied, "Your Highness said that all ideas are up to the mother, and if the mother needs His Highness to do something, I will inform Your Highness." ”

She glanced at me lightly, then put her gaze back on the dice, and said lightly: "Fu Yuying's plan is really good, if this is the first time the East Window incident happens, won't it all become the fault of the palace." ”

I was very dissatisfied with her words, not only did she ask Fu Yuying for help, but how could she let Fu Yuying make suggestions again, the funniest thing is that she had a gentle and gentle attitude yesterday, but today she has become like this.

I held back the displeasure in my heart and replied to her lightly: "Forgive the slave maid for speaking bluntly, Niangniang, if this matter can be done, the biggest beneficiary is you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just to avenge the murder of his mother back then, even so, then this matter should be decided by you at your sole discretion, if you are not happy, the slave maid thinks, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have to cooperate with you." ”

"No wonder Fu Yuying wants to keep you by your side, it's really a sharp mouth." She threw down the dice in her hand and turned to look at me, her expression was gentle, and her tone was much gentler: "This palace is just a joke, you and I still have to cooperate, if you hurt the harmony for this, it will not be good." ”

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, she was quite sensible.

With a slight neck, I replied to her in a flat tone: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

She waved her hand and said to me: "Okay, you go down first, Xing'er will take you to the residence, Rong Bengong thinks about the plan carefully, something will summon you." ”

"Yes." When I had finished speaking, I saluted her and left.

I just walked a few steps out of the main hall, suddenly someone came to my side, I took a closer look, she was the person who stopped me yesterday, looking at her dress, I think it should be the personal maid next to Concubine Qing.

She smiled at me and said, "Niangniang ordered me to take you to see the residence, so I asked my sister to come with me." ”

It seems that she is the apricot in Concubine Qing's mouth, I smiled back at her, and said slowly: "I'm tired of my aunt." ”

I followed her to the apartment, which had six very modest beds, and only three dressers and wardrobes.

I couldn't help but pout my lips secretly, although the furnishings here are quite good compared to where I lived in the Guogong Mansion, but compared to Ning Xiao, it is still a little worse, the most important thing is that I am used to living alone in Ning Xiao, and suddenly living with so many people, I am really a little unaccustomed to it.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still pretended to be good on the face.

I bowed my head and whispered, "Thank you aunt for leading the way." ”

"I don't have to thank you for this little thing." After she finished speaking, she paused and asked me again, "What should I call my sister?" ”

"Just call me the Lost Pearl."

She smiled lightly and nodded, and said to me: "Since you are dedicated to my mother, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I will try my best to arrange it for you." ”

I nodded and thanked her again.

"The courtyard outside has not been cleaned yet, if you don't have anything to ask about the residence, go out and clean the yard, I have to serve the mother."

I smiled and replied, "Auntie, let's go get busy." ”

When she left, I took off the fake smile on my face and sat down at the dresser, looking at myself in the mirror.

Although I don't know what Concubine Qing wants to do, I know very well in my heart that I must not let this matter have anything to do with Fu Yuying, so if this matter does not have to go through Fu Yuying's hands, I will try my best to solve it for him.

After all, Fu Yuying's true purpose of keeping me by his side has not yet been revealed, even if this matter is revealed and I suffered, he will definitely find a way to save me, but if he is also implicated, I am afraid that no one will be able to save me.

I let out a long sigh and got up to sprinkle.

At night, when I rested, my bed was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who looked very lovely, and I chatted with her before going to bed, and I liked her quite much.

She was going to keep vigil tonight, so after the lights went out in Concubine Qing's bedroom, she hurried over. The rest of the room went to bed early, so there was no one to talk to, so I had to rest early.

I slept lightly, so even if the girl came back lightly, it woke me up.

What puzzled me was that she didn't immediately undress and go to bed when she returned, but tossed around the house for a while before going to bed.

Unfortunately, it was so dark in the room that I couldn't tell what she was doing, except that she had stopped for a while in front of all the dressers and closets, probably rummaging through something.

Although I was puzzled, it was too late at this time, and it was not too late to check on something tomorrow morning.

I glanced faintly in the direction of the little girl's bed, and then fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn and everyone else was still asleep, I woke up at the usual hour in Ningxiao, I got up from my bed, cleaned up my bed, and began to dress and freshen up.

I sat down at the dresser, opened the jewelry box I brought with me yesterday, and considering my current status, I combed my hair and sideburns, and put on a very simple hairpin and velvet flowers.

Once I was dressed, I started checking my belongings to see if they were missing.

After some closer inspection, I realized that I was indeed missing a jade bracelet from my jewelry box. That bracelet was rewarded by the emperor, so the color is naturally impeccable.

I silently closed the jewelry box, sat down in front of the dresser and began to apply my makeup as if nothing had happened, while the others woke up one after another.

The little girl quickly finished making her bed, hurriedly dressed, and ran to the dresser.

She sat next to me, staring intently at my thrush, and chatted with me with a smile: "Sister, you woke up so early." ”

I smiled lightly: "Xu has just changed places, and I am a little uncomfortable. ”

She continued to smile and said, "When I first came to serve Niangniang, I couldn't get out of bed, and because of this, Aunt Xing'er scolded me several times. ”

I finished my eyebrows and turned my head to look at her, but she was still smiling innocently at me, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly for believing that she would do such a thing.

It's still uncertain whether she stole my bracelet for money or for some other purpose, so I can't go directly to Concubine Qing to deal with her for the time being, but I have to find an opportunity to interrogate her personally.

She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to talk to me about something, but was suddenly interrupted: "Don't talk, we have to use the dresser too, if you don't use it, you can get up." ”

She hurriedly shut her mouth, turned her head to apologize to the man, and then quietly went about dressing herself.

Despite this, the man still did not give up, and complained again: "It's not okay to do the right thing, you know nonsense all day long." ”

Although the little girl was a little dissatisfied on her face, she only lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip, not daring to refute a word.

Today happened to be me and her to clean up Concubine Qing's bedroom, and there was no one else in the house, so I no longer held back and asked her directly.

"What did you rummage through the house when you came back last night?"

She suddenly stopped her hand movements, looking a little surprised, I looked at her side face, and continued, "Where are my things?" ”

She glanced at me obliquely, saw me staring at her tightly, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze, her expression was very unnatural, she licked her lips, and said, "I... I don't know what my sister means..."

"Don't come with me for this useless set." I was a little impatient, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll take you to see Concubine Qing now, I guess that Niangniang is still in the middle palace at this time, I might as well let the queen Niangniang preside over justice." ”

As I spoke, I grabbed her hand and walked out, she panicked and hurriedly said, "I said I said ......."

I let go of her hand and watched her look terrified, quietly waiting for her explanation.

She didn't dare to look me in the eye, so she lowered her head and said tremblingly: "I grew up in a poor family, so... I was sold to the palace at the age of ten, and I... I also have an older brother at home... In order for him to be able to study in the academy, I had to... This is the only way to do ......"

"What did you steal?"

She pursed her lips and took out my bracelet from her cuff tremblingly, along with some other people's jewelry, which looked very valuable.
