Yin Palace.

Inside the Zhangtai Palace.

Recently, no matter the wind or rain, the cold and the harsh department, the king of Nan'an came to ask for peace every day, and his attitude was very respectful, but he did not say a word about returning to the fiefdom.

This made Emperor Yin very puzzling.

He was contemplating it, and felt a headache.

Things happened one after another, and they happened very strangely, so Xie Yingtian has been dismissed for several years, why was he suddenly burned down by a fire?

In Yin City, who still has the courage?

He rubbed his forehead, trying to sober himself up.

"Your Majesty, King Shao'an asks to see you."

Xiao Xiazi squatted on the bottom, probably because he saw that the master was not in a good mood, and he had not gotten up after beating Qian'er.

Emperor Yin glanced at it coldly, and then strode onto the dragon chair.

"Let him in!"

"Yes."

A man holding a sword went to the hall, his iron bones were gorgeous, his face was still cold and hard, but the forehead on his head changed from dark color to green jade, which set off people much softer.

"The minister has seen the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Third brother, please get up and sit down."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiazi moved another Taishi chair up.

"How's it going for you to check?"

"As the emperor expected, someone deliberately set the fire, and when the minister was investigating the scene, he found this ......"

As he spoke, he pulled out a small cloth bag from his bosom.

It was only half the size of a palm, and when I opened it with my fingers, it happened to be a broken ring-shaped jade pendant, and the surface was slightly blackened due to the burning of the fire.

The eyes of the superior were narrow.

He took it and carefully rubbed the pattern on his head.

"It's ...... Objects in the palace? ”

Yin Shu nodded.

"Looks like it."

"This kind of trick is a royal tribute, the people don't have it, even if the servants in the palace steal it and sell it, ordinary people will only be used as a treasure to offer it, how can it be brought to that kind of place?"

His face did not move, and he continued:

"Besides, Xie Yingtian's identity is the former head of the household."

"Even though he was dismissed, the emperor has never condemned him, so the protégé is still there, who has the courage to dare to destroy it overnight?"

Emperor Yin also took a deep breath.

Thinking of this person's intentions, he took the case! Negative cut his hands, constantly pacing back and forth.

"In your opinion, where is the thief?"

"I'm afraid...... It's all around us. ”

Hearing this, his eyelids jumped!

Yin Shu continued: "This kind of jade pendant, in the palace and the palace, is an ordinary object, and it is not very difficult to check......

"But it is impossible to get the stolen goods together, and it can only be secretly investigated, not alarmed."

"Hmm."

In the minds of those in power, a person comes to mind.

His voice was deep and hoarse.

"I remember that when the king of Nan'an left Beijing when he was young, a group of ministers jointly drove him away, and among the chief officials was Xie Yingtian, who had just returned to Yin recently, and this happened to him......"

Thinking of Yin Mo's courtesy, Emperor Yin always felt that he should respond.

"All these things are too coincidental!"

"The Emperor's ......"

Sensing the meaning of the superior, Yin Shu suddenly got up.

He walked to the center of the hall and arched his hand: "This matter is still inconclusive, the emperor must not speculate too much, he is tired and tired, and he is uneasy in the dragon's body." ”

Emperor Yin glanced down coldly and did not speak again.

He kept turning the jade wrench in his hand.

"Go down!"

"Since I don't want to speculate, let's find out well."

"Yes, the minister retired."

When he looked up again, it was empty.

Emperor Yin hesitated for a long time, the corners of his mouth pursed into a line, extremely cold and hard, with a trace of cruel suspicion.

"Natsuko-chan!"

When the people outside heard the command, they immediately hurried up to the temple: "The slave is here." ”

"Go, call Cao Aiqing into the palace and ask him to bring the key to the imperial tomb."

Xiao Xiazi's face turned pale, and he immediately lowered his head.

"Yes, the minion will go in person!"

Thinking of the day Concubine Jing's coffin left the palace, Emperor Yin's heart always felt doubtful.

"Humph......"

"Whether it's true or not, you can see it at a glance!"

Late at night, crape myrtle pavilion.

In front of the window lattice, Concubine Hui was drinking.

After three glasses of clear wine, she was full of melancholy, and the amount of wine was average, but at this time, she was a little intoxicated.

Finally dead......

"Hahaha! He's dead! ”

She was freed, and the pain that had tormented her all these years was finally freed! For myself, in this world, there are finally no more secrets......

“……”

After swallowing a sip of wine, I only felt that my throat and chest were aching hotly.

A pair of misty eyes, looking out of the window stupidly, among the crape myrtle trees, a gust of evening wind blew, and the petals fell to the ground.

Two lines of tears slipped down his eyes.

"But why, I'm so sad......"

"Why?!"

"Hahaha......"

“！”

"Master......"

Evening incense hurriedly lifted the bead curtain and came in, and as soon as she walked into the hall, she saw Concubine Hui on the side of the case, with a smell of wine, red cheeks, and crystal tears in her eyes.

"Get out!"

A wine glass slammed into her.

Wan Xiang held her head to dodge, pinched the envelope in her hand, and eagerly knelt to the side of the case, begging: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you cherish yourself, right...... It's Childe's letter. ”

As she spoke, she offered it with both hands.

Concubine Hui was shocked and immediately came back to her senses.

She saw it with both eyes, and suddenly grabbed the letter from the handmaiden's hand, and her eyes were clear, and in a moment, she became very sober.

"Go down, I'll call you again if I have something."

"Yes."

The temple was silent.

Incense curls in the furnace.

A pair of fingers hurriedly opened, the sound of rice paper, the pen and ink are very short, but only a few words.

But every time she read a word, her heart "chuckled", her expression was frightened, and her lips trembled.

"Late ...... Evening incense! ”

There was a loud roar from the hall!

When the people outside heard this, they hurriedly pushed open the door of the temple, trotted into the inner hall and said, "Niangniang, do you have orders?" ”

She forced her breath.

"Quick...... You check the palace and see if the jade pendant on the belt is still there?! ”

The people below didn't know why, so they agreed again and again.

"It's just...... It's just that there are a lot of jade pendants on the master's belt, I don't know which one the master is talking about? ”

"Emerald twigs!"

"Go and find it!"

"Yes...... It's ......"

After touching about half a cup of tea, Evening Fragrance came over in a panic.

"Hui Niangniang, the jade pendant you said, no...... Gone......"

"Smack!"

In a hurry, Concubine Hui jumped up violently and threw it down with a slap.

"Useless stuff! I always had that thing on my body, how could I be so careless? I didn't know if I lost it for so long! How did you do it? ”

"If it weren't for my brother's letter today, the palace would still be in the dark!"

Wanxiang covered her face and felt very aggrieved.

"Master, that jade pendant is very common, and it is not a rare object......

Concubine Hui raised her hand, and she hurriedly dodged.

But that slap finally didn't fall.

The person at the desk glared at her, his eyes horribly scarlet, and she looked around a few times to the left and right, muffling her voice very low.

"Dare to pout?!"

"King Shao'an was ordered to investigate Xie Mansion, and at the scene of the fire, this thing was found, fortunately, everyone in the palace has it, if it is something else, how can this palace still have a life?!"

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly turned.

"Yes, everyone in the palace has ......"

Thinking of this, she suddenly calmed down a lot, reached out and stroked her chest, and at the corner of her mouth, a wordless sneer appeared.

"What ...... panic about"

In fact, after entering the palace for so long, this is the first time that I am so flustered.
