37. The Son is not in trouble
It happened that Liu Congguang was out of the palace, and Zifei had nothing to do, so he asked Shang Gong for leave and joined hands with Mo Lan to greet Zhang Cairen. When he arrived at the Agarwood Palace, he knew that Zhang Cairen went to Cining Hall with Concubine Feng Xian to greet the Queen Mother. The two of them threw themselves into the air, and it was not easy to wait for a long time, so they turned back to their lodgings. Zifei was bored, and still went back to the Tongjian Hall to read, leaving Moran alone in his residence listening to the sound of rain to make a thin quilt towel for summer.
Just as he was about to put down his needle and thread, he went out of the door and was about to fetch water and wash his hands, but he saw a group of people rushing to the gate of the courtyard and going to Zifei's room. I don't know where they got the key, so they opened the door and tossed it inside. Moran didn't know what was happening, and he didn't have time to hold up his umbrella, so he ran over in the rain.
There was a little eunuch named Wu Si in the crowd, Mo Lan had dealt with him on weekdays, so he grabbed him and asked, "Little Si'er, what's wrong?" Xiao Si'er seemed to have received some important assignment, and said triumphantly: "Lord Liu lost a jade jade Guanyin statue pendant this morning, which was given to adults by the Queen Mother!" The lady was in a hurry, thinking that it must be someone from the Tongjian Hall who took it, so she ordered someone to come and search the house. ”
As he was talking, someone shouted, "Found it!" ”
Seeing a group of people running away with the pendant in their hands, Moran was in a hurry, took the oil-paper umbrella in Zifei's house, and hurriedly followed.
The pantry of the Tongjian Pavilion was crowded with palace people, all of whom were palace people on duty in the Tongjian Pavilion. Everyone was chattering, and only Zifei, Qi'er, and Jinrou stood in the room and confronted each other.
On weekdays, the palace people who specialize in Liu Congguang's ornaments, pen and ink, rewards and other valuable items mourned: "The pendant is given by the Queen Mother, and Lord Liu cherishes it very much on weekdays, and always wears it wherever he goes." Last night, when the adults were bathing, they casually put the pendant on the desk, and I was about to clean it up, but it happened that the chief eunuch of the Cining Hall sent a snack. When I came back to look at it, it was gone. I thought it was someone joking with me, and I never thought that someone was really stealing things in the palace during the day. I asked many people, and they all said that they didn't see it, and then they understood the lady who entered the Rou. ”
Her eyes were full of tears, and her legs trembled with fear.
With a soft face, he said quietly: "Now that the truth is revealed, the things have been found, there are ghosts in the family, and it is impossible to prevent it, and I can't blame you completely." Lu Zifei, what else do you have to say? ”
Zifei sneered, "This clearly wants to frame me, I can't look down on such an idea, how can I steal it?" Of course, whatever I say you can say is a quibble, but if I didn't steal, I didn't steal. I'm a female official of Zhengbapin, you are an out-of-palace woman, how can you get me? It's useless to talk more, let's wait for Liu Congguang to come back. ”
Speaking of Liu Congguang, Jin Rou smiled slightly, "I want to see how I can't help you!" Xiao Si'er, tie her up and send her to Shanggong Niangniang. Xiao Si'er didn't dare to move, Zifei was very popular on weekdays, and Liu Congguang was happy, he didn't dare to fall into the well at this time. He can't afford to blame when he can save it.
He said with a flattering smile: "The lady is angry, it's better to wait for Lord Liu to come back and make a decision......"
Mo Lan heard a rough idea, of course she didn't believe that Zifei would steal things, but now that the situation is forced and Liu Congguang is not there, she can't think of a good idea.
Irirou was angry, "The guy who has no roots, he really can't rely on weak legs." ”
Xiao Si'er blushed suddenly.
Qi'er didn't speak all the time, she categorically couldn't let Jin Rou steal the limelight from herself, and waited until this moment to stand up and say slowly to everyone: "As the classic palace maid of the Tongjian Pavilion, it is better for me to take her to see Shanggong Niangniang." Since he is a person outside the palace, he is naturally not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the palace. ”
The implication is that he actually skimmed the soft cleanly.
