Catching up with Huanchun's surprised gaze, Shen Changge spoke slowly: "If it wasn't for you, this palace wouldn't have wronged you." But if you let this palace know that it has something to do with you, this palace will never spare it. ”

Although her voice was very calm, there was an irresistible majesty and fierceness in her words, which really scared Huan Chun a lot.

"Your Highness knows that the slave maid has not done anything to be sorry for His Highness. Although the slave was born humblely, she also knew that she could not be ungrateful. Huan Chun said urgently, "Your Highness, you have a great kindness to the slave maid, how can the slave betray Your Highness?" ”

Shen Changge didn't speak, he looked at her sharply, as if he could see through her, and didn't let go of any expression on her face.

Under her gaze, although Huanchun was a little anxious, he didn't see the slightest weakness in his heart, but was more like he was afraid that she would misunderstand.

"You really didn't do it?" Shen Changge asked in a deep voice.

Huan Chun hurriedly shook his head: "Your Highness, the slave maid has never done such a thing. On that day, the slave maid was indeed curious and asked Mo Chu what he was taking, but after that, the slave and maid were never curious again, let alone take the painting. ”

Shen Changge pursed his ruddy lips and said, "Get up." ”

Huanchun was still very nervous, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you believe in slaves?" ”

Shen Changge glanced at her and said, "Before the real murderer is found, you are still suspicious, not only you, but everyone in the East Palace is suspicious." ”

"The slave and maid understand." Huanchun didn't dare to say more, for fear that she would say too much wrong, but it would make Her Highness doubt her.

"Get up." Shen Changge said, turned his head and instructed Xiao Shunzi, "Go and gather everyone, this palace wants to ask." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Xiao Shunzi left, Shen Changge let out a long sigh, his straight back relaxed, and he leaned back on the back of the chair a little tiredly.

When she thought that there was a traitor in her palace, she was indescribably angry in her heart.

Since she crossed over, she thinks that she is good to the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and she has never treated them harshly.

The only requirement for them is to be faithful to her, nothing more.

Unexpectedly, such a thing still happened.

"Don't think too much about it." Shen Yiqing saw that her face was ugly, and comforted her, "Maybe it wasn't the people from the East Palace who did it, it was someone else who sneaked in and took away Master Yixin's painting." ”

"Uncle Huang, you don't have to comfort me." Shen Changge turned his head to look at him and pulled up a bitter smile, "Except for the people from the East Palace, who would know that I handed over the birthday gift I prepared for my father to Mo Chu for safekeeping?" ”

Her words made Shen Yiqing speechless, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

But fortunately, Shen Changge did not continue to be depressed.

I saw her take a deep breath and speak firmly: "I must find out who took the painting and why?" ”

"If you need the king's help, the prince can speak."

Shaking his head slightly, Shen Changge smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Huang for your kindness, but this matter is a matter of my East Palace, and I want to deal with it personally." ”

When Shen Yiqing heard this, he didn't say anything more.

After a while, Xiao Shunzi walked in and said, "Your Highness, the servants have gathered everyone outside and are waiting for His Highness's orders." ”

Shen Changge bowed his head, got up and walked outside the hall.

Seeing this, Shen Yiqing, Mo Chu and the others followed one after another.

When Shen Changge and Shen Yiqing walked out of the main hall, the palace maids and eunuchs outside the hall bowed one after another.

Shen Changge didn't let them get up, he stood on the steps outside the hall with his hands behind his back, and looked down at the people in the courtyard below the steps.

"This palace summoned you here for one thing." Her voice was very loud, with a bit of irresistible majesty, "This palace has lost a very important thing, and I came to you to find this thing." ”

The people below were puzzled, but they didn't dare to speak, and they all bowed their heads in a proper manner.

It's just that everyone's heart is secretly guessing, Your Highness, what is this missing?

Shen Changge secretly observed everyone's reactions and continued: "This thing was not lost in the dormitory of the main palace, but was lost in Mo Chu's room. Three days ago, the palace handed over a painting to Mo Chu for safekeeping, and in the past three days, have any of you ever entered Mo Chu's room, or have any of you seen someone enter Mo Chu's room? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Shen Changge's voice was a little colder: "Although this palace is very tolerant of you on weekdays, it doesn't mean that this palace is really easy to talk to." It doesn't matter if no one admits it, then the palace will ask one by one, if no one admits it in the end, or no one provides clues, then, you will be collectively punished! ”

As soon as her words fell, the timid palace maids couldn't help but shudder, and quietly looked at the others.

But after a while, no one admitted it, and no one reported it.

"Nobody speaks, does he?" Shen Changge raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly, "Mo Chu, you go and ask one by one." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Chu answered, walked down the steps, and came to the palace maid on the far right of the first row.

He had a cold aura around him, and as soon as he came to the palace maid, he scared the palace maid to tremble.

"The slave doesn't know anything." Before Mo Chu could ask, the palace maid spoke first, "The slave has never been to your room, and I haven't seen anyone else go. ”

Mo Chu didn't speak, and continued to walk in front of the second person.

But the second person also replied that he didn't know.

And so on and so on, until the last man replied, "I don't know."

At this moment, Shen Changge was furious.

"I don't know, do you? It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. With a condensed face, Shen Changge said solemnly, "Mo Chu, Xue Yan, you two will make them the top twenty boards!" ”

Mo Chu and Xue Yan, who was standing in the courtyard and did not speak, bowed their hands together.

Soon, the two of them each brought a bench and a stick in their hands.

Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they have the domineering spirit of martial artists, and both of them have cold expressions at this time, which really frightened everyone present.

Before the two of them could make a move, a palace maid sobbed quietly.

Even the palace maid couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness spare your life!" Slaves...... The slave really doesn't know anything. ”

Shen Changge glanced at the palace maid and raised his voice: "This palace doesn't want to beat you, but this person who stole the painting doesn't admit it, and no one provides clues, so this palace has no choice but to adopt such a method." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Mo Chu and Xue Yan.

The two of them understood, and immediately walked towards the two palace maids on the left and right sides of the first row.

The two palace maids were so frightened that they suddenly sat down on the ground, their faces pale and their lips completely colorless.

Seeing that Mo Chu and Xue Yan were about to drag the two palace maids to the cane execution, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Your Highness, minions...... Slaves have clues. ”

Hearing the voice, Shen Changge immediately looked at the little eunuch.
