"Jade pendant?"

Princess Yuyan was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, and smiled happily: "Are you talking about Uncle Jiu's jade pendant?" It's really funny, if something happened to you, you want to frame this princess for stealing your jade pendant, and you can get away with it? ”

She didn't want to talk to Xia Jinse just now, but now she laughed mockingly, as if she had finally waited for Xia Jinse and Lan Beichen to be unlucky.

"Although Princess Ben believes that Uncle Nine will not rebel, who knows if you have caused Uncle Nine to be involved? Uncle Nine gave you the jade pendant, but you didn't keep it well, and Uncle Nine went to prison, Xia Jinse, you are really a broom star! ”

Xia Jinse frowned, listening to Princess Yuyan's scolding and ridicule and didn't care, just staring at her expression.

"You really didn't take it?"

"Even if I take it, you are the one who wants to fix it, and I won't attack Uncle Nine! Xia Jinse, I don't know what you want to do, but I warn you, if something happens to your ninth uncle, I won't let you go. You'd better go to your father and confess by yourself, saying that you robbed the tax silver, and Uncle Nine doesn't know about it, don't hurt Uncle Nine! Princess Yuyan scolded loudly, staring at her with hatred on her face.

Xia Jinse didn't speak, obviously Princess Yuyan also knew about it, but she didn't bother to explain.

She just wanted to confirm whether the jade pendant was taken by the princess, looking at her like this, it didn't seem to have anything to do with her, didn't she lie?

"I won't harm Lan Beichen, but you can, if you take my jade pendant and give it to someone, the princess had better go to the emperor and admit it. Otherwise, it will affect Lan Beichen, but the consequence will affect the stability of the entire Daqing, and I hope that the princess will focus on the overall situation. Xia Jinse put down another fire, wanting to stir up again.

She didn't really believe in Princess Yuyan! The princess has deceived her many times and harmed her many times, if this time it was because of love and hatred that she desperately attacked Lan Beichen, this also makes sense.

Suddenly, Princess Yuyan's eyes widened, she looked angry, and screamed: "Xia Jinse, you are despicable and shameless!" Obviously, you accidentally lost the jade pendant, but you blamed the princess. Uncle Nine was imprisoned by you, and now you still want to frame this princess and come to ...... Get her out for me! ”

Uncontrollable and excited, Princess Yuyan scolded angrily while grabbing the things in front of her, and smashed at Xia Jinse without a head.

Xia Jinse dodged away, but she had been observing Princess Yuyan's expression and demeanor, her eyes did not dodge, there was only anger in Qingming, and it did not look like she was lying and concealing.

Chasing Yun blocked the things that Princess Yuyan smashed over, and protected Xia Jinse to retreat, and the two palace maids also hurriedly walked over and saluted Xia Jinse: "Ninth princess, I'm sorry, the princess lost her temper again, the ninth princess should go back first, so as not to accidentally ......"

Since it wasn't Princess Yuyan who did it, there was no need for Xia Jinse to stay here.

After leaving Ganquan Palace, she thought about whether to go to the Nanguo Mansion again immediately and test the county lord of Rongle. After all, except for Princess Yuyan, she is the most suspicious!

But when he went out of the palace gate, he saw that the people from the Nanguo Mansion also happened to enter the palace.

Xia Jinse didn't know this person, but she recognized the logo of the Nanguo Mansion, and the decorative pattern on the sleeve of this person happened to be the logo of the Nanguo Mansion, so she subconsciously glanced at this person.

The middle-aged man also saw Xia Jinse, and bowed slightly to her, but he didn't delay much, and went straight behind the eunuch who led the way into the palace. Xia Jinse looked at his back, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Chasing Yun said: "Princess, this is the prince of Nanguo, Nan Jingtian, who came to the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

So that's the case, no wonder Xia Jinse felt that he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it. Nan Jingtian has never dealt with her, but after all, he is the eldest son of Nanguo's princess, and he often goes to major venues for banquets, so it is normal to have a little impression of him.

What did he do in the palace?

Xia Jinse didn't care about it after thinking about it, got out of the palace gate and got into the carriage, and went straight to the Nanguo Mansion. She will not waste a penny of time, and she must confirm the suspicion of Nan Shuxuan, the lord of Rongle County, as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the Nanguo Mansion, Chaiyun stepped forward and hugged Xia Jinse's name, saying that he wanted to see the county lord of Rongle, although the person in charge was surprised that the ninth princess came to find his own county lord at this time, but he didn't dare to stop it, and immediately went in to report.

After a while, the steward came out and respectfully welcomed Xia Jinse in.

"In front is Yuhuaxuan, the ninth princess, please." Sent here, the steward left, changed Yuhuaxuan's girl to lead the way, and led Xia Jinse in.

This is Xia Jinse's first time coming to the Nanguo Mansion, and the layout is elegant and chic, which is comparable to the Xiaoyao Mansion. After entering Yuhuaxuan, Nan Shuxuan, the lord of Rongle County, sat on the couch, got up and said with a smile: "The Nine Princesses are here, it's not an honor, please take a seat." ”

In less than a month, she will become the second princess, and she will gradually gain more momentum, fading away the immature innocence of the girl. She was wearing a dress embroidered with white bauhinia flowers in pink gray and blue, and a gold-inlaid jade hibiscus hairpin, which looked noble and dignified, generous and pleasant.

was so polite, Xia Jinse naturally politely said: "I came to the county lord for something today, but fortunately, the county lord is at home." ”

After she sat down, the girl served tea and retreated, Nan Shuxuan's eyes blinked lightly, and she took the initiative to care: "I heard about the Nine Princes, and I regret it, but I believe that the Nine Princes are wronged, and there may be some misunderstanding." Just wait for the truth to be found out, and the Nine Princes will definitely be able to return their innocence. ”

Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to mention it, Xia Jinse smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, I didn't come to see the county lord last time I said goodbye to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and the county lord didn't have a big deal afterwards, right?" ”

As if she had forgotten the unhappiness at that time, Nan Shuxuan smiled faintly: "It's okay, the wind chilled a little after I came back, it's fine in two days, thank you princess for your concern." I just don't know, why did the princess come today? ”

Xia Jinse looked at Nan Shuxuan's smiling expression, without the slightest weakness, and said directly: "I want to ask the county lord, I don't know if the county lord remembers, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Princess Yuyan asked me to meet in the pavilion of the imperial garden, and the county lord was also there at that time?" ”

As if thinking about it, Nan Shuxuan said: "Yes, I naturally remember." ”

She lowered her tone a little and said, "How can this matter be forgotten? At that time, the princess and the princess disagreed, so they argued, and later the princess lost her temper and accidentally ...... the palace Uh, I'm a little worried, I didn't dare to enter the palace for a long time, and I didn't go to see the princess, I don't know what the princess is doing when she asks about this? ”

"That's right, when I entered the palace, I brought the jade pendant given to me by the Nine Princes, but after I left the palace, the jade pendant was gone. I didn't notice it for a while, and I didn't know it, but recently, because of this jade pendant, the case of the Nine Princes involved in taxes and silver. ”

Xia Jinse said while observing Nan Shuxuan's expression and said, "So I want to ask, did the county lord see my jade pendant in the pavilion that day, and where did it fall?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Nan Shuxuan's brows furrowed: "It turns out that the princess's jade pendant has fallen?" ”

She seemed to react, seeing that Xia Jinse's eyes had a touch of coldness, and said unhappily: "If I saw it, I would naturally return it to the princess at that time, why didn't I mention it for so long?" The princess asked, is it because she suspects that I have hidden the jade pendant privately, and even used it to frame the Nine Princes? ”

"Of course not, I'm just asking, after all, there were only princesses and county lords in the pavilion at that time......"

"And the palace maid!" Without waiting for Xia Jinse to finish speaking, Nan Shuxuan interjected coldly: "Maybe the palace maid picked it up, and she was greedy for a while!" Of course, it is more likely that the princess's jade pendant did not fall in the gazebo, but somewhere else. ”

The girl behind her whispered: "Maybe the jade pendant of the ninth princess didn't fall off at all......"

Chasing Yun stared at the girl and said softly: "Presumptuous, you mean the princess did it on purpose?" ”

The girl immediately panicked and said, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't mean that." ”

"The Ninth Princess doesn't have to scare my girl! I said I didn't see it, I didn't see it. ”

Nan Shuxuan stood up and said with a straight face: "I thought that the princess came to the Guogong Mansion today for something, but it turned out that she thought I had stolen the jade pendant and wanted me to admit it?" I'm sorry, I don't know. If the ninth prince did not rob the tax silver, the truth will naturally be revealed, if this matter is related to the princess, I advise the princess to go to the emperor to confess her guilt. ”

After speaking, she said coldly: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany the princess." Ruixiang, send the princess out. ”

"Wait, County Lord Rongle, you haven't ...... yet"

Chasing Yun was just about to stop Nan Shuxuan from leaving, but Xia Jinse stopped her, shook her head with a wink.

Nan Shuxuan's reaction was both reasonable and somewhat unexpected. She and Princess Yuyan reacted similarly, both of them denied it, but her reaction was not only angry, but also mixed with displeasure, rebuttal, and even Xia Jinse didn't even let Xia Jinse speak clearly.

During the whole process of speaking, she didn't look directly into Xia Jinse's eyes, as if she was dodging something, but only acted very angry and didn't care to explain.

Speaking of which, such a reaction is also reasonable, but in Xia Jinse's eyes, at least Nan Shuxuan's suspicion is heavier than that of Princess Yuyan!

Xia Jinse was led by the girl and left Yuhuaxuan, thinking that she would leave directly, and go back and ask Broken Star again, thinking of monitoring Nanguo Mansion, especially staring at Nan Shuxuan's actions, but she didn't expect her to see Nanjingtian again.

Nan Jingtian should have just returned home and was coming in through the gate, and he was accompanied by a imperial doctor, who was also known to Xia Jinse. Only then did she react, it turned out that Nan Jingtian had just entered the palace to ask for a doctor.

"Imperial Doctor Liu, please come here." The housekeeper beside Nan Jingtian said respectfully.

Seeing Xia Jinse appear in the Nanguo Mansion, Nan Jingtian couldn't just nod casually and pass, he stood still and saluted Xia Jinse with his fists, and said politely: "I didn't expect to see the Nine Princesses again, I entered the palace in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to greet the Nine Princesses, I was in a hurry to ask the imperial doctor for the little girl, but I didn't expect to meet the Nine Princesses when I returned to the house." ”

When Imperial Physician Liu saw that Xia Jinse was also there, he laughed: "Xiaguan has seen the Nine Princesses, it turns out that the Nine Princesses have also come to treat Rongping County, since this is the case, then there is no need for the old man to make another move, Shizi?" ”

The last thing he said was towards Nanjingtian, obviously Imperial Physician Liu had misunderstood Xia Jinse's purpose for coming to the Nanguo Mansion.

Nan Jingtian could only say: "Imperial Doctor Liu, we didn't ask the Ninth Princess to treat the little girl, so we still want to trouble you." ”

Xia Jin Seqi said: "It turns out that the county master of Rongping is sick? ”
