Chapter 226: Rattle
These words made others listen to them, and they really felt a little tasteful.
Gao Qixuan's eyes also changed slightly, these days, she did not refuse all the objects he sent over, although she didn't say anything, but she also accepted them together.
"Aren't you eating because of Concubine Hui?" He said bluntly.
The sarcasm on Hua Qingrao's face deepened, "You really need to take a good look at your self-inflicted amorous problem." ”
Gao Qixuan narrowed his eyes and continued to sit and eat without caring about eating, "Then what are you here for?" ”
Hua Qingrao stared at his movements for a long time before asking, "Where did the dowry I did back then?" ”
Gao Qixuan heard her direct question, put down his chopsticks, his deep eyes roamed over his body, and instead of answering, he asked, "What are you asking for?" ”
Hua Qingrao snorted coldly, slapped the table with both hands angrily, and approached in vain. "Gao Qixuan! I searched the entire Internal Affairs Office and couldn't find it, did you give them all to your concubines! ”
A pretty face of Hibiscus who deceived the frost and snow was so dangerously close to Gao Qixuan's face, which made his heart stagnate.
Just now, Concubine Hui really said that the queen was stirring up trouble because of a hairpin he sent, and he smiled dumbly: "You also said that you didn't eat it." ”
"Taste?!" Hua Qingrao glared at him, "My father and mother gave me a dowry, and these women are not worthy of touching!" ”
Gao Qixuan looked at her as if the anger on her face was real, and the doubts in his heart slowly faded, "Your dowry has always been placed in Weiyang Palace, didn't your maid tell you?" ”
Hua Qingrao glanced at Jinlan behind her, and Jinlan and the others hurriedly knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the slaves and maids really don't know, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me." ”
Hua Qingrao retracted her gaze, stared at Gao Qixuan, and sneered: "I'll go back and check one by one, if there is anything missing, you have to think of a good wording!" ”
With that, she turned and walked away.
Gao Qixuan looked at her back that disappeared from sight, the smile disappeared instantly, and her deep eyes were bright and dark. He turned his head sideways and instructed the chamberlain: "Inform the palace people of Weiyang Palace that the queen must always report to me no matter what she takes out of the dowry." ”
"Yes." Although the chamberlain didn't understand the meaning of doing this, he still responded honestly.
Gao Qixuan's eyes returned to their former coldness, although he had already checked this batch of dowries back then, but he couldn't help but be precautionary. In the end, whether Jing Yao knew about the existence of this token, he had to be on guard at all times.
Hua Qingrao took a breath of relief from Zichen Palace, looking at Gao Qixuan's expression and not doubting it, but he was uncertain and thoughtful, so she still had to be careful in everything.
She led people back to Weiyang Palace, and took people to check all the dowries with great fanfare.
There were a lot of dowries that her father prepared for her back then, but after rummaging through them, she didn't find any trace of the token. According to the booklet, there is not a single item missing.
Hua Qingrao pondered for a while, and when she looked up, she saw a waiter looking straight at her. The moment his eyes met, he panicked away, glanced around, turned around and hurried away.
Hua Qingrao chuckled in her heart, and sure enough, Gao Qixuan was still suspicious of her. She deliberately said in a loud voice: "None of the objects is bad, take out all the hairpins and cloths that can be used daily, and put the rest alive." ”
The chamberlain raised his ears and tried to hear all the words clearly. He saw that no one noticed his behavior, so he ran towards Zichen Hall with confidence.
Hua Qingrao looked at his departing back, and her eyes sank a little.
"! Look at this rattle, how much fun it is! Jinlan was shaking a rattle in her hand, making a crisp sound.
Hua Qingrao looked at the rattle in her hand fixedly, this was made for her by her third brother when she was a child, although this third brother looked at him and did not do his job, but this hand was very skillful. She has always loved it and can't wait to hold it every day.
She took the rattle and stroked the drum with her fingers, causing a little lovesickness. If everything could be repeated, would things change?
The palace people were busy moving things to the main hall, Jinlan glanced at Hua Qingrao's expression, and said with a smile: "The slave also liked the rattle when she was a child, and the family was poor, and she was reluctant to eat something delicious, so she hid them in the rattle." ”
She covered her mouth and shook her head with a smile, "But the slave doesn't know that this drum will ring again if it is cut." Along with the delicious food that was hidden, all the cats took it all! ”
Hui Ping and Jin Ping were amused and giggled when they heard what she said.
"But my aunt has been so stupid at times!" Jinping sighed with a smile.
Hua Qingrao looked at Jinlan's appearance of falling into memory, her pupils moved slightly, and she grabbed the rattle and walked towards the hall. "Let's go back."
Hui Ping and Jin Ping were all taken aback by her sudden move, glanced at each other, and whispered to Jinlan: "What's wrong with Niangniang?" But angry? ”
"I'm afraid I'll remember the past." Jinlan shook her head with a smile, "Hurry up and clean up these!" ”
"Yes." Hui Ping and Jin Ping responded.
Hua Qingrao couldn't hide her throbbing heart, her fingers holding the rattle were trembling, and she walked back to her dormitory almost as quickly as she ran.
Before entering the temple, he pretended to be calm and ordered: "I am tired, rest first, and no one shall disturb me." ”
The palace people also knew that their mother had been going through the internal affairs office all morning, and had checked the dowry for a while, so naturally they were not surprised by her words.
Hua Qingrao closed the door of the palace, scurrying like a headless fly. Suddenly picked up a pair of scissors from the table and cut the drum surface of the rattle without half a moment's hesitation.
Nothing fell out of the rattle, but after the drum surface was completely cut, a raised object was wrapped in cloth on the other side.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid. The rattle doesn't look out of the ordinary on the surface, and you can't feel anything to the touch.
She used her scissors to cut the other side open, removing the object that had been tightly wrapped in a cloth that had been glued to it.
The side of the object is very flat, which fits the drum surface very well, and you don't feel anything unusual when you touch the drum surface.
The cloth wrapped the object very tightly, and Hua Qingrao almost wasted all her strength to disassemble it. My whole hands were covered with sweat, and I couldn't even hold the scissors steadily.
The strips of cloth fell layer by layer, revealing the appearance of the object inside, which was a golden brand. The two sides of the brand are engraved with a hovering dragon pattern, and there is a vigorous and powerful order in the middle.
Although Hua Qingrao had never seen the 500,000 tokens, she was very sure that the brand in front of her was the token, and that Gao Qixuan was hard to find day and night, slaughtering her full of tokens.
I am afraid that my father had foreseen a long time ago that this token would be murderous, so he let the third brother hide in this rattle and marry with her.
As long as this token does not appear, at least the entire Beiyan is still safe.
Hua Qingrao held this token tightly in her palm, and she finally had the ability to compare with Gao Qixuan. But not now, no matter how anxious she is, she is just an unarmed woman.
Once any link goes wrong, not only her, but also the 500,000 forbidden soldiers will be buried with her.
Hua Qingrao searched for a long time before she found a relatively safe place to place this token. For her now, this token is not a tool for revenge, but a talisman.
Once Gao Qixuan found out, she would die without a place to be buried.
