Chapter 68: Theft
It's a pity that Jiang Wan didn't know that the sisters who were originally siblings had become demons who wanted her life at this time.
Jiang Wan was so angry that Lu Zhixing was angry enough because she invited Lu Zhixing in her own name, and Lu Zhixing made it even more difficult for her every day. Jiang Wan knew that Lu Zhixing was angry, so he didn't have any complaints.
"Xin Chang is here, you made a mistake this time."
"Boss, I just want to help Ju Chang, I think she is also very compatible with Your Majesty."
Jiang Wan sat in the corridor and chatted with the chief manager passing by. She didn't understand why Lu Zhixing had such an attitude towards Xia Yahan, she felt that Xia Yahan was really superior in all aspects among the women in the harem.
"If your Majesty likes it, the commoners can also be favored, and if you don't like it, even if you don't like it, it's hard to get into your eyes."
The chief steward's eyes narrowed, he looked at the birds flying in the sky, and sighed. He wanted to wake up Jiang Wan, but he couldn't say it clearly, he only hoped that Jiang Wan could understand the meaning of his words.
"I see, this time it's my lack of consideration."
Jiang Wan stood up and went back to the imperial study. She really didn't take into account Lu Zhixing's feelings, and she shouldn't have deceived Lu Zhixing. Jiang Wan thought that this time he not only offended Lu Zhixing, but also made Xia Yahan make a fool of himself, which really cost his wife and his soldiers.
"Your Majesty."
"Huh?"
Lu Zhixing looked up at her, and Jiang Wan bowed and apologized to Lu Zhixing.
"Your Majesty, this time it was the slave who did something wrong, you shouldn't be so clever, you shouldn't deceive Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty."
Lu Zhixing saw that Jiang Wan sincerely apologized to him, and he was a little surprised in his heart, Jiang Wan, who had been playing tricks on him, suddenly admitted his mistake.
"The crime of bullying the king is enough to punish the nine clans in a row, and you can make me spare you with a word?"
Jiang Wan sweated on her head, she didn't expect Lu Zhixing to punish herself, just when Jiang Wan was worried about what kind of punishment Lu Zhixing was, Lu Zhixing's words made her a little confused.
"I haven't eaten water chestnut cake for a long time, and what you have made is in line with my appetite, so I will forgive you this time."
"The slave obeys."
The conditions given by Lu Zhixing were too simple, and Jiang Wan didn't understand what Lu Zhixing thought. On the way to the imperial dining room, Jiang Wan was still thinking about the scene of that day.
She had rarely seen Lu Zhixing angry, he had always been calm and rational. I have the impression that he is angry because of her, he was angry when she disappeared before, and now she deceived him, and he was angry.
"What kind of person he is, I don't understand, what he does."
Jiang Wan didn't believe that Lu Zhixing would be tempted by her, but now she was also shaken.
Jiang Wan and Lu Zhixing were very close, and they were often summoned by Lu Zhixing, and the people in the palace began to preach that Jiang Wan was favored. also gradually overshadowed Xia Yahan's previous scandal of being rejected.
"Jiang Wan, I won't let you be complacent for too long."
Xia Yahan, who also heard the rumors, began to think about how to make Jiang Wan disappear from Lu Zhixing's face. Mo'er looked at her good sisters in the past, and now she is about to turn against her, and her heart is very sour and helpless.
"Xin is always here, I hope you can have your own natural appearance and resolve the damage that the master has done to you."
"Mo'er, you go and help me find a few people."
Xia Yahan seemed to think of something, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she threw the money bag on the table to Mo'er.
"Yes, master."
After a few days, the palace began to lose things frequently. Originally, I thought it was just a place where something was lost, but I didn't expect that when the palace people chatted, they found that it was stolen in many places.
"Master, although we don't have anything valuable, let's put them all in order."
Xian'er is a little worried, Luo Yunxuan has not been patronized by thieves yet, and may be stealing here soon.
"Hmm."
"Jiang Wan, I'm looking for you."
Xia Yahan walked in with Mo'er, Xia Yahan always came to Jiang Wan these days, saying that she was too boring in the other courtyard. Jiang Wan was also happy that Xia Yahan could come, thinking that Xia Yahan didn't mind what happened last time.
"Yahan, I heard that there have been frequent thefts in various palaces recently, and you haven't lost anything there, right?"
"I didn't lose anything there, but I heard that the concubine lost something valuable."
Jiang Wan was not interested in Lin Yao's affairs, "The objects of the noble concubine are naturally very expensive, and any one of them is quite valuable." ”
Xia Yahan pretended to be mysterious and said, "It seems that what was lost this time was given by His Majesty, and the concubine Niangniang was so nervous that she had already reported to Your Majesty." ”
Lin Yao is such a shrewd person, and he will even lose the things rewarded by Lu Zhixing, it seems that this thief's ability is not small. When did such a thief come out of the palace?
"Then Yahan, be careful, lock all the valuables in the cabinet."
"Hmm."
"Stay here, please drink tea."
Hire'er walked in with a tea tray and poured tea for Xia Yahan, Xia Yahan nodded but didn't drink it. After chatting for a while, Xia Yahan left with Mo'er.
Ping'er looked at the untouched tea cup on the table, and felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't say it, for fear of provoking Jiang Wan's unhappiness. Xia Yahan is Jiang Wan's sister, and she definitely won't have any disagreement with Jiang Wan, and she persuaded her to be too careful.
"Concubine Niangniang, let her steal the necklace like this?"
Yuan Zhu knew how precious Lin Yao's necklace was "stolen", and it was a royal gift, and it was inevitable that he would not be condemned if he lost it.
"If it weren't for the instructions of the palace, she would be a little palace maid who could take away the objects of the palace?"
"This chain will eventually return to the hands of this palace, and this palace also has the right to be a careful opportunity for someone, and there will be no loss to this palace if it succeeds or not."
Lin Yao was playing with a night pearl and a necklace in her hand, she wanted to see if Xia Yahan's innocent trick could bring the result she wanted.
"Your Majesty, you see that there are frequent thefts in this palace, thieves are rampant, and even the noble concubine Niangniang has come to you to cry, don't you order it?"
The chief manager was really annoyed, and as soon as the palaces lost something, they came to him to complain, thinking that Lu Zhixing would hurry up and solve the matter.
"Go and call Xin Changzai."
Lu Zhixing suddenly threw out a completely incompatible sentence, and the chief manager had no choice but to obey the order.
"Your Majesty wants to see me?"
"Xin Chang is going with our family, our family doesn't know what His Majesty means."
"Okay."
Jiang Wan went to the imperial study, and Lu Zhixing asked, "Have you lost anything?" ”
Jiang Wan heard Lu Zhixing suddenly ask, and didn't know what he meant, "The slave didn't lose anything. ”
"Well, go back and pay attention and put everything away."
"Then what else does Your Majesty command?"
"No, stand down."
"Yes."
Jiang Wan was a little inexplicable, Lu Zhixing called himself here because of this matter, this kind of thing is not enough to let people pass the word on her behalf, and she has to trouble her to run.
"Give the order to go down and search the palaces for the stolen goods and find the thieves."
After Jiang Wan left, Lu Zhixing ordered to deal with the theft of the palace. Chang Ge pursed his lips, if he wasn't worried about Jiang Wan, Lu Zhixing would definitely not take this matter to heart.
On the second day, some guards began to search the palaces, and Xia Yahan watched the guards walk out of his courtyard with an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Yao was also happy to see this search come to fruition, and she knew who the people who surfaced after this search would be. And this matter has nothing to do with her at all, she is just a small favor.
In fact, the necklace given by the emperor was taken by her to the palace maid, and if she took other things, she would have no reason to go to Lu Zhixing to complain.
With Lu Zhixing's personality, he will not care about such a trivial matter as the theft of the harem.
"Wait, when the tide goes out, which fish will run aground on the shore."
Lin Yao smiled proudly, no one could escape her layout.
The guards entered Jiang Wan's courtyard, and it was Chang Ge who took the lead.
"Xin Chang is here, I am offended by the orders of His Majesty to search the palaces."
"It's okay, you guys go in and search."
Jiang Wan didn't do anything wrong, wasn't afraid of the ghost knocking on the door, and generously let Changge walk in with someone. After rummaging through, Changge called Ping'er in.
"Miss Hire'er, can this cabinet be opened?"
"Yes."
Ping'er opened the cabinet, and the guard took out all the contents inside. A shiny thing fell out of the clothes. Chang Ge reached out to pick it up and found that it was the necklace that Lin Yao had lost earlier.
"What is this?"
"I don't know where it came from, I don't remember a necklace in the cupboard?"
Ping'er didn't recognize that it was Lin Yao's necklace, so she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Changge saw that Ping'er's reaction was not like lying, so he continued to ask the guards to search all corners.
Unexpectedly, a lot of things were found in the corner of Jiang Wan's room, and even there were jewels in the vase containing flowers.
"Xin Chang is here, I'm afraid you have to go with your subordinates."
Jiang Wan looked at the jewels that he had never seen before, frowned, pursed his lower lip and didn't speak for a long time.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Hearing that the stolen goods had been found, representatives from each palace went to claim the stolen jewels. Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan, he naturally didn't believe that Jiang Wan would be the culprit in the theft of the palace.
With such an obvious frame-up, Jiang Wan is naturally clear at a glance, she hasn't left Luoyunxuan much in the past few days, and there is only one person who can attack her.
"It can't be hers, how could she do it to me?"
Jiang Wan's heart resisted this fact, and such a sudden blow made her a little disheartened.
"Is there really no true affection in this palace?"
Lin Yao appeared in person to claim her necklace, but she couldn't get the answer she wanted.
"These things are all given by me to Xin Changzai, and as for the real stolen goods, I will give an answer to the palaces in a few days."
Lu Zhixing suddenly said this, blocking the steps of the representatives of the various palaces to come forward to claim it. No one knows if the jewelry was stolen or not.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Wan, who hung her head silently, heard Lu Zhixing's voice defending her, and raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion, sadness and gratitude.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's necklace must be recovered for the concubine."
Lin Yao watched Jiang Wan escape again, and wanted to tear her apart on the spot. She stepped forward and pretended to be pitiful and wanted Lu Zhixing's comfort, but Lu Zhixing retreated to Jiang Wan's side.
