One hundred and sixty-three opals caused trouble
Fortunately, none of us were discovered along the way, and the three of us were going back to the palace to discuss what we had encountered today. [Ran^Text^Library] []. []. [com]
Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the gate of Anle Palace, we saw that the gate of Anle Palace was wide open, and there was silence inside.
What's going on? I had a sense of foreboding in my heart and ran into the palace.
A few little maids were standing in the guest hall, bowing their heads to clean up the tables and chairs scattered in the guest hall. When I went out, the guest hall was still neat, why did it become like a battlefield in just a moment?
At a glance, I saw the pearl that had rolled down to the corner of the wall, the bright bead had been stained with dust, and had fallen to the table on the floor, where a delicate tube lay quietly, and there was a trail of water below. It was the tube that Ye Linghan gave me to carry glacier water, and the puddle of water that was splashed on the ground must have been glacier water.
Seeing the three of us coming in, the little maids ran over in unison, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
"Princess Qingyi...... This ......"
"Say!"
"This is the ...... that Chen Feigongzi knocked over"
"What about Chen Fei?"
"He was captured by Lord Xiao......"
"What?!" All three of us exclaimed at the same time.
"What the hell is going on? Why did Xiao Yu come here to arrest people?! I grabbed the little girl's arm and asked, because I was in a hurry, my tone was very bad, the little girl was frightened by my form, and she didn't dare to speak, and she was about to cry.
"Qingyi, don't get excited." Ye Linghan tugged at my arm and said to the little maid kneeling on the ground, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
"If Lord Hui Ye is going back, it was Lord Xiao who took Chen Feigongzi away......"
"I know this, why did you arrest him?"
Master Xiao said...... Chen Feizi stole ......"
"Stealing?" I asked rhetorically.
"Yes," the little maid looked at me, and continued to lower her head and said: "It's that opal, that's the saint's favorite plaything, it was stolen two days ago, and Lord Xiao has been looking for it for two days, I don't want Chen Feigongzi to take this opal today......"
What the hell is this? Planting?
I was angry, but I forced myself to calm down.
Suddenly, I thought about the origin of this opal. At the beginning, Persia did pay tribute to Chang'an two excellent opals, and one male stone remained in the palace, which was the beloved object of the saint. A female stone was given to the prime minister by the saints, and later it was given to me by the prime minister's unassuming son.
However, at this time, the opal in the palace was stolen, and the saint asked people to look for it everywhere, and they happened to bump into the female stone that Chen Fei was holding, so Xiao Yu arrested Chen Fei indiscriminately.
This must be a misunderstanding, and I want to go to the saint to make it clear.
"When did Xiao Yu come? How long has he taken Chen Fei away? ”
"It's been a while, I'm afraid I'm locked up in the dungeon now......"
What the?!
I've been to this dungeon, it's a place where people stay, there are all kinds of purgatory-like tortures, and you will definitely be tortured inhumanely! However, the theft of the object is not clear in the first place, and it is still a favorite object of the saint. Xiao Yu and I have always been at odds again, this time, if he catches Chen Fei, he will definitely make him tortured, oh my God, how can he bear it......
I pulled Ye Linghan and ran straight towards the dungeon, anxious along the way.
But when we got to the dungeon, the guards wouldn't let us in, and let me try my best to explain at the door of the dungeon that I had caught the wrong person, but the guards still wouldn't let me in.
The guard was embarrassed and said: "Princess Qingyi, don't embarrass the villain, this dungeon is not allowed to enter casually except for the prisoners." ”
"But he was wronged!" I shouted anxiously. After thinking about it, I suddenly thought that when I was outside the palace before, I usually wanted to go to the prison cell, and I had to do some official errands, but now in the palace, is there this rule?
I took off all the valuable things on my body and stuffed them into the guard's hands, "Please, do me a favor, I'm really here to save people!" ”
But I didn't expect that in front of Ye Linghan, how dare he take this money, and I became anxious again.
Ye Linghan asked, "Let me ask you, is Xiao Yu in there?" ”
The guard trembled, muttered for a long time, and said softly, "Lord Xiao didn't let me say it...... Now the thief is being tried inside, and Lord Xiao has gone to the Holy Lord to restore his life......"
Xiao Yu is not there? I understood too well what this trial was, and I once again stuffed all the valuable things into the guard's hands, "I won't go in now, I'll just ask you for one thing, please don't torture him, and wait for the holy will to make a decision, okay?" He's really not a thief! ”
The guards clenched their hands tightly and didn't take my things, and Ye Linghan said in a low voice: "Tell the people inside that you are not allowed to beat the suspect!" ”
"Yes!" The guard immediately fell to his knees, and a pawn next to him ran into the dungeon.
"Let's go, let's go and explain it to the Holy One!"
I pulled Ye Linghan and ran towards the Taiji Palace, and when we entered, Xiao Yu happened to be in the hall to report this matter to the Shengshang, and the opal was being held by the Shengshang to play with it.
"Qingyi greets the saint."
"Ye Linghan greets the saint."
The saint glanced at the two of us, handed the opal to the father-in-law next to him, and said, "Qingyi, I heard that this stolen thing was found in your palace?" ”
"Holy Lord, this is not your opal!"
"What do you mean?" The saint looked at me blankly, with a solemn expression. He beckoned, and his father-in-law immediately held the bead.
"Holy Lord, take a closer look, is there a slight difference between this opal and yours?"
The saint picked up the stone and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, "I can't see it......"
"Princess Qingyi, it's a little wrong for you to do this, this opal was found in your palace, and you said that this is not the holy one, this reason is not convincing enough...... Xiao Yu said with a cold face.
"This really isn't the holy one!" I argued, "Holy Lord, there were two male and female in this opal back then, but is it a fact? ”
"Yes, another one has been given to the Prime Minister's family."
Fortunately, the Holy One still remembered this incident, and I saw a faint hope, and immediately said, "This is the female stone!" It was given to me by the prime minister's son back then, not the holy one! It just so happened that the opal on the saint was missing, and Chen Fei was going to use this opal to grind into powder for me to treat my injuries, so he was misunderstood......"
"Hmph," a sneer pulled out at the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth, "Princess Qingyi's reason is really getting more and more far-fetched, why did the prime minister send you something?" ”
"I was the Chang'an Oiran back then, and this was his reward for me."
As soon as these words came out, I felt the eyes full of surprise, although everyone already knew my life experience and past, but they never openly mentioned that period of time in the Qinglou.
The most nervous person among them was the prime minister, who was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his wide sleeves.
"Hmph, an Oiran can also receive this kind of gift, comparable to the saint?"
As soon as Xiao Yu said this, the prime minister's legs trembled even more!
"Unexpectedly, the prime minister's son, and this habit......" Shengshang said coldly. The prime minister immediately knelt on the ground and said back: "Holy Mingjian! Dogs have always been clean, how could they go to a place like Qinglou? And also gave such a valuable gift to a Qinglou woman? This is obviously something that is not the case! Don't be wrong, the dogs......"
How can the prime minister be like this? In order to protect his son, he even denied it!
"Prime Minister, now is not the time for you to fight for face, this matter involves a person's life, please answer carefully!"
"Holy one, the dog is really wronged...... Prime Minister buckled his head heavily on the ground, and the saint's face became a little gloomy.
A wave of anger rushed up again, and I gritted my teeth in hatred.
"Saint, Lord Ye can also testify about this matter, it was he who accompanied me to Yuchun Tower to get this opal!"
"Yes!" Ye Linghan clenched his fists, "This stone was indeed taken out in the Yuchun Building by Princess Xia and Princess Qingyi, and Princess Qingyi does have one." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the reflection of the saint, I think that with Ye Linghan testifying, the saint will believe it somewhat.
"Ye Linghan, your actions are becoming more and more disappointing now." Xiao Yu turned his face sideways, squinted at Ye Linghan and said.
"Don't think that Princess Qingyi's assassination of the fourth prince, you can hide it from the world, you are a brocade-clothed guard, but you are shielding an assassin, and now, in front of the saint, you are still doing everything possible to defend and perjury for her, your words make people more and more distrustful......"
"You're spewing blood!" I'm in a hurry.
I know that Xiao Yu will definitely squeeze out Ye Linghan because of me, and the saint may also suspect Ye Linghan because of this, but he is really not wrong at all, he is really loyal to Chang'an! I don't want Xiao Yu to slander him like this!
Xiao Yu was not angry at all, and asked calmly: "Then Princess Qingyi said that there were originally only two stones, one in the prime minister's house, and the other in the Holy Palace, where did Princess Qingyi put it in the Yuchun Building?" ”
"I said it was given to me by the prime minister's son!"
Prime Minister: "You're talking nonsense! ”
Xiao Yu: "Joke ......"
Ye Linghan: "This opal is really Qingyi!" ”
I was about to reason again, but the Holy One gave us an angry shout and interrupted our quarrel.
"Qingyi, you want an opal to treat the wound on your face, you can tell me, but you use this method, it's really a little disgraceful......"
"Holy One, I ......"
It seems that I am already at a loss for words.
"Stealing holy relics is never a small crime, and I won't pursue you, but Chen Fei ......"
