Chapter 19: Framing
The next morning, Hanxin served Dongfang Sheng for breakfast. Dongfang Sheng still looked indifferent, quietly eating the bird's nest soup in the bowl, taking one bite at a time, as if tasting it.
As soon as he finished eating, Xue Wu hurriedly walked in and said, "Son, the comprador from the palace has returned, but because he brought too many things, most of which he had never seen in the Central Plains, he was detained at the gate of the city, saying that he was not allowed to pass without any warrant. Now everything is detained in the mansion of Lord Ge, the governor of Yinchuan. ”
When Dongfang Sheng heard this, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "It's okay, I'll repair a book, and you send it to Lord Ge's mansion, and he will pass by himself." ”
As soon as the words fell, he got up and walked to the study, and a voice came: "Chill, grind the ink." ”
In the study, the cold heart waits for Dongfang Sheng to write, and the autumn snow stands outside the door, ready to be sent at any time. I saw that Dongfang Sheng was extremely fast, his pen was vigorous, and he wrote a letter and put down the brush in his hand. said: "Qiuxue, go and get the seal of this son." Qiu Xue stood outside the door, heard Dongfang Sheng's words, instantly overjoyed, hurriedly walked into the study, and took out the seal from the bottom drawer of the cabinet on one side.
Qiu Xue has been by Dongfang Sheng's side for a while, but at that time, Chun Tao was too imposing, and Qiu Xue was pressed everywhere, so Qiu Xue could only be a general cleaning maid in Bixiao Pavilion, and Chun Tao would do everything that contacted Dongfang Sheng. Cleaning every day, the placement of things has always been meticulous, and the time to enter the listening courtyard is shorter, and I am not very familiar with the location of these things.
After Dongfang Sheng stamped the seal, Qiu Xue hurriedly took over and put the seal back in its place. Dongfang Sheng handed the letter in his hand to Xue Wu and said, "Directly send the letter to Master Ge." ”
"Yes."
Xue Wu was just about to go out, but he heard Qiu Xue exclaim, and said in horror: "Childe, the blood jade unicorn pendant is gone." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Wu looked at Dongfang Sheng in surprise. Dongfang Sheng's handsome face turned black in an instant, and there seemed to be thousands of waves rolling in his sharp black eyes, and the anger in his body erupted out. Han Xin stood aside, wondering what the hell was the Blood Jade Qilin Pei?
Dongfang Sheng hurriedly walked to the side of the cabinet and checked in the drawer many times, but still did not see the shadow of the jade pendant.
Xue Wu saw the appearance of the prince and said in a deep voice: "Childe, this unicorn pendant has been in the study for many years, and there has never been such a thing?" Who will do it? ”
Qiu Xue, who was frightened on the side, continued: "Yes, few people come to Childe's study, how can the Qilin Pei be lost?" ”
These words seemed to imply something, and he glanced at Qiu Xue coldly, only to see Qiu Xue's anxious face, as if he was very worried.
Dongfang Sheng glanced in the direction of the bookcase again, and ordered towards Xue Wu: "Search the rooms of all the subordinates in the mansion for me." ”
"Yes." Xue Wu was ordered to do it.
When I heard the news, everyone was in danger, and I don't know who was going to get bad luck. Steward Fu led a large number of guards in the mansion to rummage through the Tingyu Courtyard, but still did not find the whereabouts of Qilin Pei.
In the Bixiao Pavilion, Dongfang Sheng sat on the upper seat, listening to the report of the Fu steward, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, thinking about something, no one could see through it.
Suddenly, Dongfang Sheng spoke: "Qiu Xue, yesterday, I was not in the mansion, did anyone come to Tingfeng Courtyard?" ”
Qiu Xue frowned, as if she had thought about it seriously, and said, "Hui Gongzi, no." Usually it's me and Hanxin who clean Childe's house, and it's hard for others to enter at will. ”
Hearing Qiu Xue's words, Han Xin finally understood, it turned out that he was coming for himself in such a big circle! Looking at Qiu Xue's eyes, killing intent suddenly rose, thinking that she could restrain herself when she saw Chun Tao's death, it seemed that she was wrong.
The Fu housekeeper on the side heard Qiu Xue's words and said: "Childe, all the people's houses have been searched, and only Hanxin is left, because Hanxin lives in Tingfeng Courtyard, so it is inconvenient for the old slave to bring the guards in." ”
Dongfang Sheng's evil eyes looked at Han Xin, unknown emotions flashed in his eyes, and said, "Take someone to search." ”
Listening to Dongfang Sheng's words, Han Xin lowered his head slightly, and when he looked from a distance, he could only see the lowered eyelids, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
Qiu Xue swept the cold heart with the corner of her eyes, saw the cold heart slightly lowered her head, thought that the cold heart was sad for Dongfang Sheng's attitude, and suddenly felt extremely happy, thinking about it, this cold heart has only been in the mansion for a long time, how can the prince be interested in her?
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Fu entered the cold room with a large number of guards, and turned the sky around, and unexpectedly turned out the unicorn pendant from a locked box next to the bed.
The vermilion exquisite wooden box was presented in front of Dongfang Sheng's eyes, and the smile in Qiu Xue's heart was infinitely magnified. looked at the cold heart and said, "In front of everyone's eyes, turn out this unicorn pendant from your room, see how you deny it?" ”
When Qiuxue was in the house for a long time, he knew that this blood jade unicorn pendant was not worth anything, but this was Dongfang Sheng's father and mother's love token, when Dongfang Sheng's father and mother died on the battlefield, the body was covered in injuries when it was transported back, and it was miserable, but this unicorn jade was held in his hand by his mother, intact, and was later buried by Dongfang Sheng, as a thought, which shows the importance of this blood jade to him.
Seeing the unicorn pendant that was presented, Han Xin hurriedly knelt down and said to Dongfang Sheng: "Childe, I have never stolen the unicorn pendant, someone must have framed me." The voice was loud, calm, and affirmative, which once made everyone believe it.
The people next to him knew that Hanxin was a celebrity around Dongfang Sheng recently, and they didn't dare to speak out, for fear of angering the one above.
Dongfang Sheng's handsome face was slightly indifferent, and he said to Hanxin: "Hanxin stole the master's jade pendant, and now he has all the stolen goods, and he will be immediately put into the slave house and strictly supervised, and no one will be allowed to visit without my order." ”
As soon as the words fell, several guards stepped forward and escorted Han Xin out. Hanxin didn't make any excuses, he glanced at Dongfang Sheng who was sitting above, he didn't know what emotions were rising in his complicated eyes, and a little loss appeared in his heart, so he was so shocked that he quickly turned around and let the guards escort him out.
