Chapter 399: Wishful Thinking Mistake
But women like to be praised, especially those who are more beautiful than themselves, and the princess was praised by Zhong Xiaoshu, as if she was stepping on colorful auspicious clouds under her feet, and the whole person took the flower lightly.
Zhong Xiaoshu took the opportunity to take out the hairpin, and then, pretending to go to enjoy the flowers, walked to Ning Shuyan's side, and put the hairpin in her pocket.
After a while, the emperor, Yin Zhige and King Qingchuan all returned.
Ning Shuyan found the right time and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Madam, where is your hairpin?" β
Zhong Xiaoshu sneered in his heart, pretending to subconsciously touch the top of his hair, but he didn't touch the hairpin, and his face turned white with fright: "Where did my hairpin go?" β
The emperor frowned when he heard this: "Send someone to find it, it should be on this way." β
As soon as the words were finished, the guards returned the same way to look for them.
Yin Zhige turned his head to look at Zhong Xiaoshu, who shook his head and drew three words on his palmβdon't worry.
He looked at Zhong Xiaoshu's sworn eyes, and he also understood, it seemed that all this was under her control.
The guards quickly returned, and told the emperor that they had not found anything.
Zhong Xiaoshu pretended to be frightened and knelt on the ground: "It's the concubine who deserves to die, and she actually lost the hairpin rewarded by the emperor." β
How could Ning Shuyan let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly said loudly: "The place where we come and go is so big, how can it be lost, depending on the concubine, maybe someone likes this hairpin and stole it." β
When she said this, the emperor's face also sank, because it was indeed justified.
There were many female dependents present, and it was indeed more normal for the hairpin to be taken away by someone with a heart than if the hairpin fell off by itself.
The princess's face changed on the spot, what did Ning Shuyan mean by this?
Isn't she the only one who obviously showed her liking at the scene?
Sure enough, a few eyes had already cast their eyes, and the princess said angrily on the spot: "Your Majesty, this matter is extraordinary, let's search your body!" β
Ning Shuyan almost didn't laugh, this princess is simply digging her own grave! If she hadn't dropped the hairpin earlier, I'm afraid the princess wouldn't be able to tell it today.
dared to steal things in front of the emperor, but the emperor was angry, and roared: "Here, check for me!" β
All the family members of the Qingchuan family stood aside, trembling with fright.
The princess felt weird, her original arrangement was to let her maid secretly take Zhong Xiaoshu's hairpin, and then blame Ning Shuyan, but where did the hairpin go now?
Someone can't really steal it, right?
The princess was suspicious here, but Ning Shuyan's side had long been uncontrollablely proud.
This matter has basically proceeded as she envisioned, and now the emperor is furious, and the person who searched her body has also stood in front of the princess.
Now I am just waiting to find the hairpin from the princess's pocket, and it will be useless for her to explain it at that time, and see if this woman will dare to stumble her in the future!
Ning Shuyan looked at it proudly, but to her surprise, the searcher didn't find anything from the princess's pocket!
What's going on?
She obviously watched Xiuxiang put the hairpin in with her own eyes!
How could it not be?
Ning Shuyan's eyes widened in shock, and the smugness on her face hadn't even had time to disappear, she and Xiuxiang glanced at each other with a ghostly expression.
Since the hairpin is not on the princess's body, where else can it be?
Ning Shuyan touched her pocket with a ghostly gesture.
Just when she touched this cold hairpin, her body seemed to fall into the ice cellar in an instant, and the blood all over her body was cold!
Why is the hairpin here with her?
Ning Shuyan was so shocked that she forgot that this was in front of everyone, so she took out the hairpin so stupidly.
"It's her! She is holding a hairpin! The maid who had just cried beside the princess saw what Ning Shuyan was holding in her hand at a glance.
With her voice, everyone's eyes were focused on Ning Shuyan's body.
And the hairpin that sparkles in the sun is also very eye-catching.
Ning Shuyan opened her mouth, looking at the emperor's angry expression and the shock in King Qingchuan's eyes, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "The concubine really doesn't know what's going on?" I didn't take it! It's really not me! Someone must be wronging me! β
"Then tell me who wronged you?" The princess never expected that it would be taken by this woman, but this must be a good thing for her!
"Just now we were there to enjoy the flowers, and you took the hairpin off your lady's head and put it on yourself. I'm afraid it was at that time that I was moved, right? Which of our Qingchuan royal family is not of noble birth. You're the only one in the market who would do this kind of indiscriminate thing! β
At this time, there was no longer anything to do with Zhong Xiaoshu, and she was also happy and relaxed, standing aside and watching this good show with Yin Zhige.
The most faceless person present was naturally King Qingchuan.
His person is openly stealing in front of the emperor, and this person is still his favorite concubine these days, how can a person who has lost face can describe his current anger!
The emperor was really furious: "King Qingchuan, I invited your family to come, but I didn't want you to bring anyone with any status. β
King Qingchuan was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this time the ministers have no way to discipline them!" β
Ning Shuyan still knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "It's really not me!" If it was me, how could I possibly find out about this in the first place? Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Think of it. Someone must have wronged me! β
"Needless to say? You must be a thief shouting to catch a thief! "The princess can't care about the face of the palace at this time, and she just wants to get rid of this demon as soon as possible!
King Qingchuan had a headache.
He was the only person present who knew Ning Shuyan's true identity, although it seemed that the other party was really a stupid person now, but the conditions put forward were so attractive.
He had to save Ning Shuyan.
"Your Majesty, this is the unfortunate fortune of the minister's family, and it is unfortunate to let such a person ruin this banquet, and destroy the mood of the emperor, Prince Yin and his wife, the minister deserves to die! I implore the emperor to let the ministers personally punish this dirty thing, and the province will dirty the emperor's eyes! β
As soon as the princess heard this, she knew what her prince was planning, and immediately became more and more angry.
He was about to speak, but he was glared at fiercely by the prince, and he could only swallow all his anger, but he was even more resentful of Ning Shuyan in his heart.
"This hairpin was given to Xiao Shu by me, but your people stole it, is there such a person as me in your eyes?" Obviously, the emperor does not intend to spare the thief.
When Ning Shuyan heard this, she was trembling with fright, and she was terrified to the extreme.
