Thinking of the short sword, Nie Linyu felt that it was okay not to tell his mother, at this time his father was not there, so he had to tell his brother, so he pulled his sleeve, "Brother, let's go to your room to talk." ”

Nie Chenlin has always spoiled this girl, nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

Their brother and sister have a good relationship, and Princess Nie is naturally only happy.

After entering Nie Chenlin's study and retreating from the subordinates, Nie Linyu said his suspicions, "Originally, I wondered why the thief just stole the short sword, but Xinrou told me that her family also had a short sword given by the emperor, which was stolen by the concubine of Prince Ying's prince when he escaped, I don't think it could be a coincidence, but I didn't tell Xinrou about this." ”

Nie Chenlin touched his chin and muttered: "It's been three or four days since this happened, and the guards of Prince Ying's Mansion haven't found anyone yet, not even a clue, obviously this group of people is not small, and the most important thing now is to find out what the identity of Prince Ying's concubine is." ”

Nie Linyu nodded, "I think so too, his concubine is not good, and it is estimated that he has been placed by his side a long time ago." ”

Nie Chenlin had a different opinion, "Prince Ying's prince did not hold an official position in the court, even if someone wants to beautify people, he may not be able to get his turn, this may be a coincidence, of course, it is not ruled out that this person was installed just to steal the short sword."

Nie Linyu felt regretful, "It's a pity that Xinrou hasn't seen her eldest brother's concubine, otherwise you can ask him." ”

Nie Chenlin smiled lightly, "Ask her what she did, I'll just ask Ah Yao directly." ”

Prince Ying's son is named Yuan Ziyao.

Nie Chenlin said that he would do it, and immediately gave Yuan Ziyao a post, Yuan Ziyao couldn't eat and sleep well these days, and sent countless people, but his own cheap concubine fell into the sea like a drop of water, and there was no news.

Without waiting for Nie Chenlin's words, he first came to a bamboo tube to pour beans, drank wine and scolded the concubine, "Since I ransomed that cheap thing, I have been raising it every day, and I have raised a white-eyed wolf, and I have to steal the gold, silver and jewelry, and even steal the sword given by the emperor, no."

Is sincerity disgraced me? ”

When Nie Chenlin heard the word redemption, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, that concubine's room came out of the Qinglou?" ”

Yuan Ziyao slapped his thigh, "Isn't it, if it weren't for the fact that she looks a little colored, Lao Tzu would want her?" Little slut, when Lao Tzu catches her, he has to make her look good. ”

However, with a stick of incense, he told the ins and outs of his concubine clearly, and finally said with a sad face: "I made people look for her everywhere, first, I couldn't swallow this breath, and second, I lost the things given by the emperor, and I always had to explain it in an excerpt, but how to tell the truth, and let outsiders know where to put this face?" ”

Nie Chenlin sighed with great sympathy, "But it's been three or four days since this matter, and I can't find it, instead of dragging it out to the end and letting the emperor hear about it from elsewhere, it's better to hurry up and make an excerpt, it's about the face of your Yuan clan's royal family, and the emperor will help you hide a thing or two." ”

Yuan Ziyao's eyes lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, Brother Nie, I won't tell you first, hurry up and go back and write an excerpt and submit it." ”

Nie Chenlin sent Yuan Ziyao away, so he sent someone to call Nie Linyu and said to her: "I have inquired about the origin of that woman, what kind of oiran is it, called Jiaorui." ”

"Grace?" Nie Linyu gasped, no wonder she was nowhere to be found, it turned out that she was ransomed by Prince Ying's son.

Nie Chenlin was stunned, "What, do you know her?" ”

Nie Linyu nodded, "She looks exactly like Concubine Zhao in the palace, and I was also bluffed when I first saw her." ”

Because of the mention of Jiaorui, I couldn't help but think of what happened in the group of flowers that day, as well as Fu Moyu's mysterious disappearance and mysterious appearance, but it was at the moment when Lin Jing'an was stoned to death in Yangzhong.

Nie Chenlin thought of something else, "Since she looks like Concubine Zhao, can no one in Prince Ying's mansion recognize her?" ”

"Prince Ying's mansion has big rules, how can you easily see the master as a concubine, it is estimated that Princess Ying will not meet her, even if the princess sees it, she may not dare to say it, after all, this matter can be big or small, and, according to Xinrou, the concubine has always lived in a simple and low-key manner, and the people in the house still think that she is inferior to her poor background, so she is ashamed to see people."

Nie Linyu said, his eyes flashed, "Now that I think about it, she must have colluded with someone inside and out, the so-called deep residence is not ashamed to see people, but she just doesn't want to make extraneous branches." ”

Nie Chenlin said in a deep voice: "Ah Yao won't enter the harem, naturally I don't know that my little concubine actually looks like the emperor's concubine, Prince Ying has never seen this little concubine, and the princess is afraid of causing trouble and doesn't dare to make a noise, so that Jiaorui stayed in Prince Ying's mansion for several months, until she got an opportunity to steal the sword." ”

The emperor's woman is not to be coveted, if the courtier's wife and concubine actually look like the palace concubine, this matter can indeed be big or small, if it was put in the past, it is just that, now the emperor is getting older, the more suspicious he is, if he knows, small things will become big things, especially Concubine Zhao is still such a source.

Nie Linyu was friendly with the county lord of Puyang, and he didn't want Prince Ying to be suspicious of the emperor because of this matter, so he hurriedly said to Nie Chenlin: "Brother, hurry up and remind the prince, that woman can't be left even if she finds it." ”

Nie Chenlin also thought of this layer and couldn't help but nodded.

Nie Linyu pondered for a long time, since Jiao Rui stole the sword, she must be the one who left the prince, will Concubine Zhao in the palace be the same, if so, what role did she play in this matter, and what secrets are there in the sword?

Knowing that Concubine Zhao might harbor evil intentions, Nie Linyu couldn't warn her, after all, everything was her guess, there was no evidence, and Concubine Zhao was still pregnant.

Outside, Nie Chenlin's personal attendant hurriedly came to report, "Lord Shizi, Prince Ying is here again." ”

Before the words fell, Yuan Ziyao had already strode in, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, and when he entered the door, he asked Nie Chenlin to step back, and then took out a package from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and it was two short swords, and said in a low voice: "Look, Chenlin, isn't this what we lost?" ”

After handing the short sword to Nie Chenlin, he saw Nie Linyu, "It turns out that Sister Yu is also there." ”

Nie Linyu hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen Prince Ying's son." ”

Yuan Ziyao waved his hand, "We are all our own people, don't be so angry, you still call me Brother Yao like when you were a child." ”
