Chapter 31: The Wicked Sue First
If you want to talk about the object of suspicion, the first person she thinks of is Lu Yuanbai, and there is no other reason, that is, he is not pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, the palace is his territory, and it is not impossible for him to reach wherever his hand goes, but she was too careless before.
Back at the palace, she went directly to Zhao Lique's courtyard and smashed the wooden box containing Yu Jue at her feet.
"Chu Yimiao, what are you doing, don't die?"
"You still have the face to ask me what to do, the jade jue you gave me before was fake, but the piece I lost was real, you bullied people......"
Zhao Lique's face turned blue, and his tone was embarrassed: "It's really unreasonable, if Yu Jue is fake, why didn't you recognize it at that time?"
"I just found someone to see it today, and the other party said it was fake, anyway, I will definitely ask for an answer, you better think about how to deal with this matter. ”
Chi Yingchu simply played a scoundrel with her, and Zhao Lique asked people to drive her away, but when the next person thought of Chunzhi's fate, no one dared to get close.
"I'll go to the prince now to see who is bullying people!" In desperation, Zhao Lique had no choice but to go to Lu Yuanbai for comment.
But she didn't want this to be what Chi Yingchu wanted, she waved her hand again and again: "Then you go quickly, I'm not afraid." ”
Zhao Lique cried and cried in front of Lu Yuanbai, it seemed that every time she passed, she looked like a pear blossom with rain.
Lu Yuanbai has always been very cold to her, and it was only because of the child's incident a few days ago that he owed her a little debt: "If it is really like what you said, I will not spare her!"
"The concubine doesn't dare to say half a lie, the prince wants to be the master of the concubine!" Zhao Lique was happy, and immediately burst into tears.
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wanted him to bring tears to her eyes: "Lord Wang......"
"Hmm. Lu Yuanbai didn't seem to see it, got up and left.
She hesitated for a while before she followed, as long as the prince could administer justice for himself and teach Chi Yingchu the lesson he deserved, it would be okay not to wipe away her tears.
Before he entered the house, the mournful cry came first, intermittently, like a trumpet, louder than the other, and each pause in the cry was for the next cry to be more powerful.
Chi Yingchu saw his figure and hurriedly ran over with her skirt: "Lord Wang, the fifth aunt and the wicked person sued first, and she took my jade jue off the ......"
"You!" Zhao Lique saw her acting, she was really better than herself, so much so that she forgot the words that were connected.
"If I want to change the bag, then why did I give it to you in the first place?"
"Didn't you count it in your own heart?" she gave Zhao Lique a smug look behind Lu Yuanbai's back, and then pretended to be aggrieved on her face.
Lu Yuanbai frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "Wait, when did you sell the things in this palace?"
"Not all, some of them were brought by the fifth aunt from the Zhao family," Chi Yingchu told him the origin of Yujue, "She deceived me first, and threatened to ask the prince to teach me a lesson." ”
"I have never suffered this kind of grievance since I was a child, what happened to the Zhao family, the protector of the country is the first emperor'......s own title, where am I worse than her?
A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Lique's eyes, and he didn't know her identity until today, he just thought she was an ordinary subordinate, but he didn't expect to have something to do with the protector.
Then if you notify the Protector Mansion, you should be able to send Chu Yimiao back, right?
"It's just a subordinate of the Protector's Mansion, who was begged to come by this king, and always thought that he was special, could it be that you have paranoia?" Lu Yuanbai glanced at her faintly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.
"......" delusional about you...... Forget it, scolding him won't help, if he was afraid of being scolded, he should have been drowned by the spitting stars of the people in Beijing.
Zhao Lique's eyes changed again, with a bit of contempt, and he said tentatively: "Is this really the case?"
"Is it necessary for this king to lie to you?"
Seeing Zhao Lique's appearance, he probably believed him again, Chi Yingchu wanted to speak, but Lu Yuanbai grabbed her wrist and gasped in pain.
She couldn't always lose to him like this, and she began to hold his hand back, and the two secretly competed, but the man was born with an advantage in strength, and she was still a pampered body.
"Hmph, I thought it was something unusual, what you lost was a fake, even if the ones I gave you are fakes, then you also earned!"
Zhao Lique left with a cold snort haughty, and only after she walked away did Lu Yuanbai let go of her hand, she slapped him with a slap, and he dodged it sideways.
"I just want to deduct some silver from her, does the prince even care about this?"
"The matter is in the king's mansion, and if it is spread out, it will be bad for the reputation of the king, so it is natural to take care of it. He turned his words and asked, "What do you want the money for?"
Chi Yingchu didn't answer him, turned his head angrily and left, thinking in his heart that Lu Yuanbai could get the news in time every time, and it should be for people to stare at her in secret.
In the depths of the night, she gently pushed the door open, poked her head out and saw that there was no one around, before tiptoeing to close the door and go out.
When the secret guard on the wall saw this scene, he immediately woke up and quietly followed with light skills.
I don't know if I'm lost, or what, Chi Yingchu kept circling around the rockery in the backyard, and the secret guard hid under the tree and stared, and when he saw her stop, he followed her without thinking about it.
He was slammed into his back, and the body of the secret guard was knocked to the rockery, Chi Yingchu pulled the rope that had been wrapped in advance, and shouted: "There are assassins!"
The lights were lit one after another in the courtyard, and the secret guard broke free a few times, and before Chi Yingchu had time to be complacent, he saw him cut the rope with a knife and left the palace again.
The back is as light as a swallow, and I want to work hard...... She was about to run, but was stopped by several guards who rushed in: "Where is the assassin?"
The guards saw the ropes behind her, and looked at her strangely, could she be trying to kill herself?
"Assassin he...... Ran. "If the guards had come earlier, that man might have been caught.
The man clearly had the opportunity to kill her, but he didn't do it, thinking that it was the person Lu Yuanbai used to spy on him.
Lu Yuanbai walked over with his clothes on, his face was tired, and he looked her up and down: "You let the assassin go?"
"Not me. She shook her head in denial.
"Then why is it that as soon as we came, the assassin was gone, and you were in league with him?"
"If he were my companion, I would have asked her to take me away. Chi Yingchu gritted her teeth and glared at him.
He coughed slightly, as if he was deliberately targeting her, "That is, you have a nightmare and need to see a doctor." ”
He didn't scold her twice, did he feel uncomfortable?
Zhao Lique no longer had doubts about Chi Yingchu's identity, on the contrary, the prince never gave up the investigation, but the news he got was half-truthful.
"The deadline given by my father is coming soon, if the palace can't be completed smoothly......" The prince paced back and forth in the study anxiously.
The subordinates guarding outside heard the movement and came in, and took the initiative to offer a plan: "Your Highness, it's better to sort out this news and hand it over to the emperor, as long as most of it doesn't go wrong, the rest should not be a problem." ”
The prince sighed and didn't speak, if it doesn't work out early tomorrow morning, then this method can only be used.
