This voice shouted, and everyone was shocked to draw their attention.

Zhao Chuyao looked at the palace maid standing in front of him in astonishment, to be precise, he was looking at the big black pearl in the palace maid's hand.

She shook her hand in a panic, was startled, and immediately reacted instinctively, "No, it's not me, when was this thing in my purse?" ”

Zhao Chuyao explained in every possible way, but when everyone looked at her, they still questioned a lot and trusted little.

"What's going on? The pearl is on Miss Zhao's body! ”

"Miss Zhao stole the pearls?" Someone started talking.

Zhao Chuyao shook his head in defense, "No! The pearl is not on me, I was wronged, I did not steal the pearl! ”

She was stunned and stupid. She didn't know why the pearl had suddenly appeared in her purse.

She pulled Prime Minister Zhao beside her, "Daddy, my daughter doesn't." ”

Prime Minister Zhao is naturally convinced of his daughter's character and character. But at the moment, the palace maid said that she had found a pearl necklace from her, which was really surprising.

He patted Zhao Chuyao's hand to calm her down.

Facing everyone's questioning eyes and mocking discussions, Zhao Chuyao cried aggrievedly.

Murong Key and Murong Ye sat at the table next to Zhao Chuyao, and when they saw the beauty crying, they all stood up in distress.

Murong Key was one step ahead and stood beside Zhao Chuyao first.

He shouted loudly to the palace maid: "It must be you, the maid, who stole the pearl and framed Miss Zhao!" ”

The palace maid raised her head in disbelief and hurriedly defended, "No! Fourth Prince, this pearl was found by the slave maid from Miss Zhao's purse......"

"Nonsense! Miss Zhao was born in a famous family, and she is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao and the future crown princess. What does she want and can't get it, will she be rare with such a pearl, and she will not hesitate to risk stealing it? Murong Jian rebuked angrily.

Leyang, who was sitting at the table next to the pearl, saw his beloved defending other women like this, and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable.

Murong Ye also stepped forward at this time, and he stood sideways beside the palace maid.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was talking about Zhao Chuyao, he threatened the palace maid in a low voice: "Do you want to die alone, or like that maid just now, you will be connected by the nine clans?" ”

The palace maid's eyes widened, and before she could speak, she heard Murong Ye continue to add in a low voice: "If you should do this, this king and the four princes will ensure that your whole family will have no worries for the rest of your life." If you don't, the king will leave you with no bones left, and your whole family will suffer! ”

Most of the palace maids in Qianmu Kingdom are daughters born to poor families. Because there are many children in the family, they can't afford to raise them, so they are sent to the palace as a maid, hoping to earn more money to support the family!

Such a girl's life is like a mustard. When he was sent to the palace, he was ready to die at any time due to the master's bad spirit. Since childhood, they have been educated to sacrifice themselves to save their families, and they are not afraid of their own death, but they are afraid of dying with their families.

I have to say that Murong Ye accurately grasped the weakness of the palace maids at this point!

The palace maid looked up at Murong Jian and Murong Ye, these two people, one is the fourth prince and the other is the fifth prince, any one of them can destroy her whole family whether they become the prince or not!

Today, she should be dead, and she should not be dead. It's just that the value of death is different.

Gritting her teeth, the palace maid finally made a choice in a very short time.

She nodded at Murong Ye, and in the next moment, the other party reached out violently and clasped her neck.

"You, you can't tell a lie!" Murong Ye scolded angrily.

He analyzed rationally: "As the Fourth Emperor Brother said, Miss Zhao has no worries about food and clothing, why should she steal pearls that are useless to her? You say, "Is it that you son of a woman is greedy and steals pearls?" Seeing the incident in the east window, he was worried about getting burned, so he slandered Miss Zhao? ”

Under the instruction of Murong Ye's eyes, the palace maid naturally couldn't admit her 'crime' immediately.

Her voice trembled, and she obviously 'lacked confidence' to justify, "No! Slaves don't! ”

Murong Ye snorted coldly: "Hard mouth! If you don't give you some color, you won't tell the truth. ”

When the words fell, he grabbed the palace maid's wrist with one hand and pulled it fiercely.

"Ahh A terrible wail rang out.

It turned out that it was Murong Ye who broke the palace maid's arm in front of everyone!

"To tell the truth?" Murong Ye asked as he reached out and grabbed the palace maid's other hand.

Cold sweat broke out on the palace maid's aching forehead, and she begged for mercy loudly: "The fifth prince spares his life!" The slave and the maid are recruited, and the slave and the maid are recruited for everything! ”

Murong Ye snatched the black pearl, pushed the palace maid to the ground, and reprimanded angrily: "Don't tell the truth yet!" ”

The palace maid fell to the ground, a handful of snot and tears, weaving the following lie-

"The pearl was picked up by the slave maid on the grass in the imperial garden, and for a while she didn't recognize it as the black pearl of the South China Sea of the virtuous concubine, she only regarded it as an ordinary pearl worn by a lady, and took it for herself. Just now, Concubine Xian said that her pearl necklace was missing, and the slave knew that she had caused a big disaster and was greedy for things that should not be greedy. I want to take it out, but I'm afraid of being asked. In desperation, he hid and didn't dare to take it out. Hearing that there was going to be a body search, the slave was worried that after the search was completed, it would be the turn of our palace maid. In desperation, the slave had no choice but to make this decision and present the pearl during the body search, pretending that it was stolen by Miss Zhao! ”

"Humph! It's really a wolf's ambition, and the sin is unforgivable! Come on, drag this girl out and cut it down! On the high seat, Queen Yu shouted angrily.

She also didn't believe that Zhao Chuyao ruined herself because of a pearl, so she naturally believed the palace maid's words at this time. Seeing that his son was still drinking leisurely in the face of Zhao Chuyao in such a dangerous situation. was courteous by Murong Key and Murong Ye.

An incident of stealing the pearls of the concubines, at the cost of the death of two palace maids, has drawn a symbol of success!

The festive day of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet was bloody, and finally ended hastily early.

All the courtiers retired one after another, and marched to the gate of the palace, each of them got into his own carriage and went home.

The bead thought that it was in the Yanfu Palace, this Miss Zhao was already frightened, and she probably didn't plan to stay. She came to the palace gate to see her off, "Miss Zhao." ”

Zhao Chuyao heard someone call him, and when he turned around, he saw that the missing pearl came in a gorgeous palace uniform, and his gestures were full of charm, so that people couldn't take their eyes off it. In contrast, she was just in the temple and she was so slandered. His face was pale, but he looked a little overshadowed.

Even though she has always been knowledgeable and courteous, after all, it is the first time she has participated in this banquet in the palace, and she has become the target of public criticism among many people. It really made her palpitate. In addition, this matter is not solved at all, because of the help of the fourth prince and the fifth prince, the turmoil has been calmed down. If someone in the know, they still suspect that she is the one who stole the pearl.

Concubine Xian found the pearl, the baby was lost and recovered, and two palace maids lost their lives because of this incident. Naturally, her mood was calmed down, and she no longer cared. It's good that the baby has been found.

But even then, Zhao Chuyao was still unhappy, because she felt that she had not cleared her suspicions.

"Princess Lost Pearl." Zhao Chuyao saluted her with a pale face.

"I wonder if Miss Zhao is still going to my dormitory for a small gathering?" As she said before, although there was an accident halfway, she still had to politely ask about people's wishes.

"......" Zhao Chuyao was about to speak, when Prime Minister Zhao Cheng behind her stepped forward to reply for her.

"The old minister has seen the princess." His voice was low, and although he saluted her, he did not mean the slightest respect.

It is not surprising that the pearl is not used to seeing it, this Prime Minister Zhao is the third generation of heroes of Qianmuguo. To put it a little more vulgarly, when he was still discussing state affairs with her imperial grandfather, she probably didn't know that she was a lonely ghost on Huangquan Road. So with such an attitude, she naturally won't care.

"Prime Minister Zhao is polite." The Lost Jewel nodded at him in general.

"The old minister thanked the princess for her kind invitation to the little girl, but the little girl was framed in the palace today, and her mood has not calmed down at this time, and she can't continue to stay in the palace, so the old minister wants to take her back to the house as soon as possible to rest."

Hearing this, Yizhu nodded in understanding, "In this way, I don't force Miss Zhao." ”

Zhao Chuyao glanced at his father, then looked at the missing pearl, and did not speak. Her father had made a choice for her, and she couldn't contradict her father's words.

"The old minister retired." Prime Minister Zhao arched his hands and led Zhao Chuyao into the carriage.

The relics watched the carriage of the Zhao Mansion leave the palace gate, turned around and took Jinxia and Su Chun back to the dormitory.

……

In the carriage, although Zhao Chuyao's face was pale, he didn't even have the courage to stay in the palace all night, "Daddy, why don't you let your daughter stay in the palace." ”

Prime Minister Zhao Cheng said with a heavy face: "When you entered the hall, who was the last person you came into contact with?" ”

Zhao Chuyao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Daddy, do you think that Princess Zhuzhu framed her daughter?" ”

"Daddy doesn't dare to say certainly, but it has nothing to do with Princess Lost Pearl." Without evidence, Prime Minister Zhao naturally didn't dare to speculate, but this was too obvious. Nineteen is inseparable from the princess of the pearl.

Zhao Chuyao shook her head uncontrollably, "No, Daddy, Princess Yizhu didn't have physical contact with her daughter at that time, so her daughter believes that this matter is not about Princess Yizhu." ”

When Prime Minister Zhao heard this, he shook his head, "Yao'er, you just trust others too much and are too kind, so you can be easily hurt." ”

"Daddy, my daughter believes in Princess Lost Pearl, and she has no motive to do that at all." Let's talk about motives in all things.

"Since you have your thoughts, it's useless for Daddy to say more, in short, you can be careful with the princess of the pearl." Prime Minister Zhao Cheng clicked here, and looked out of the carriage.

When Zhao Chuyao heard this, she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, she naturally didn't believe that Princess Zhuzhu would frame herself, obviously she was also the one who was framed before. She just felt that the matter of this black pearl didn't seem to be so simple.

******************************************************************************

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is not only lively during the day, but also at night.

Pei Yi didn't know whether he was really drunk or fakely drunk, so he couldn't say that he was too strong to drink, so he rested in the Yuening Hall where Chang Ning lived before in the palace.

Murong Xi saw that Pei Yi stayed in the palace, so he also stayed in the Mingyue Palace.

Yongping was already accustomed to life outside the palace, and left the palace after the banquet, Leyang was not satisfied with Murong Key's attitude towards Zhao Chuyao today, so he also stayed in the palace angrily, and she wanted Murong Key to explain to herself.

……

At that time, after experiencing the loss of the baby necklace today, Concubine Xian's mood gradually calmed down, and she began to praise her son's performance today, "Ye'er, you took the initiative to help Miss Zhao today, which gave Miss Zhao a lot of favor." ”

Murong Ye, who was in the inner hall, saw that the concubine said this, took a sip of tea, and said coldly, "What's the use of this, this Zhao Chuyao just likes Lao Qi, all day long, her eyes are eager to stick to Lao Qi." ”

In this regard, Murong Ye was very dissatisfied, he really shouldn't have let Lao Qi take the lead and return to the capital first, if he came back to the capital first, maybe Zhao Chuyao would be the one who looked at him.

After all, he didn't think he had lost to Lao Qi anywhere.

When Concubine Xian heard this, she was not worried at all, and carefully wiped her black pearl with a brocade handkerchief, "What's the use of liking that seventh child, he is now a prince, and the crown prince is destined to have nothing to do with him, what you have to watch out for is the fourth." When the emperor heard that he had returned, his eyes lit up. ”

Murong Ye was attentive, he knew that because of Concubine Duan's arson in the palace back then, his father obviously hated the fourth child for a while, but suddenly news came out that the incident back then was not done by Concubine Duan at all. But Concubine Duan had already hanged herself, and her father must have felt that he didn't trust Concubine Duan enough to force Concubine Duan to death. So I felt guilty about the fourth child, and so far, I have always taken care of the fourth child.

However, the fourth child actually married the princess on the other side of the border, which made him a little surprised.

Murong Ye's mind swept over Zhao Chuyao's quiet and beautiful face, and his hands clenched a little.

Zhao Chuyao......

Sooner or later, she will definitely become his woman......

It doesn't matter who she has in her heart!

……

After the events in the Yanfu Palace, the missing pearl was suddenly very curious about what happened in the palace in the past, so he took Jinxia to the library regardless of how late it was.

There were no guards guarding the library at this time, but there was only a small minion in charge of the lamp guarding the door, and he was about to close the door, when the jewel stopped him and asked him for the key.

Replaced by other masters, this slave would definitely not dare to hand over the key easily, but this princess has always been deeply loved by the emperor, and the palace maids and servants in the palace like her very much, so they are naturally willing to give the key with both hands. The pearl confessed that he would ask Jinxia to return the key to him early tomorrow morning, and the little father-in-law heard the words and left with confidence.

"Princess, why is it so late that the princess still has to come to the library? What books can't you read tomorrow? Jin Xia was a little curious.
