Chapter 15: The Jade Pillow
"Su Jiu, this king wants you to say something accurate today, do you like Wu Yao?"
Su Jiu suddenly looked at the stage, his face was completely stunned like a child who had been discovered a secret, Su Jiu blinked frantically, trying to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
Looking at Su Jiu's appearance, Nalan Ci also knew that he guessed correctly, Nalan Ci had already seen through the thing of love, how about liking women? What about liking men? If the two like each other, then they can ignore these worldly lights, and that is the real love between the two.
Gu Jinzhi bites this matter, he always wants to find out and give an explanation to this king, but also to himself, he is not a person with an unsmart mind, and he will definitely find out Wu Qian when the time comes. If this matter comes to the king, the king has no way not to punish Wu Yao, there are rules in the palace, if this matter is found out, Wu Yao framed the master first, and deceived the king later, I am afraid that this matter will not be done, and the palace will not be able to stay. ”
"Lord Wang, my subordinates really don't believe that Wu Yao is such a person, besides, the one who lives in Jinlan Pavilion is not the son of a real master, why do you treat him too, Lord Wang?"
"Su Jiu, there are things that should be said and things that should not be said, even if you want to intercede for Wu Yao, you shouldn't say these words for the idle people to hear."
"The subordinates are guilty, but the prince, you should give your subordinates a chance to let them investigate this matter, if it is really his doing, his subordinates, his subordinates will have nothing to say."
Su Jiu's firm expression made Nalan Ci unable to refuse, this matter has already become like this, let Gu Jinzhi find out or let Su Jiu find out, it will be a result, Nalan Ci nodded, waved his hand and let Su Jiu out.
The first thing Su Jiu did after leaving was to find Wu Yao, and at this time, Wu Yao was like a nobody, took the futon in Nalan Ci's bedroom, and was about to go out to dry. Su Jiu inquired about Wu Yao's whereabouts, and Su Jiu, who came to Nalan Ci's bedroom, pushed the door in, and saw Wu Yao with a smile on his face at first sight after entering.
Su Jiu's sudden appearance startled Wu Yao, and when he saw the person clearly, Wu Yao retracted the smile on his face:
"It's you, this is the prince's bedroom, how can you enter casually?"
"You can enter, I'm the prince's personal guard, why can't I enter?"
"Then you can do it yourself, I will dry the bedding for the prince." After speaking, Wu Yao picked up the rolled futon and was about to leave.
At the moment when Wu Yao passed by Su Jiu's side, Su Jiu stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Yao's wrist, because of the excessive strength, Wu Yao let go of his hand in pain, and the futon in his hand fell to the ground.
"What do you do, it hurts." Wu Yao looked at Su Jiu with an unhappy expression, and when he heard Wu Yao say that it hurt, Su Jiu subconsciously let go of him.
"Wu Yao, what about the mutton fat white jade pillow I gave you? You bring it, I'll see it. Wu Yao was stunned suddenly, opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
"You say, did you take out that jade pillow and sell it?" Su Jiu kept an eye on it, and did not directly say that Nalan Ci suspected that Wu Yao had taken out the jade pillow and hit the jewelry.
Wu Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, only to see him look at Su Jiu arrogantly:
"Su Jiu, I respect you as the prince's confidant, but don't forget, your life was saved by me from the pile of dead. The jade pillow you gave me is my thing, even if I take it and sell it, what's the matter, do you still want to go back? Besides, it is something that the prince gave you, even if I have the heart to take it out and sell it, someone in this capital must dare to accept it, and someone must be able to accept it. ”
"What about the jade pillow? I want to see. ”
"In my room, but I don't want to show you."
Su Jiu frowned, he remembered that Wu Qian was not such an unforgiving person before, but now how could he become like this. Su Jiu sighed a little, and sure enough, what Nalan said still had some basis, maybe Wu Qian really didn't save him at that time.
"Wu Yao, because you saved my life, I feel that I have always owed you, when you were going to enter the palace to find a job, I also gave up my face to ask the prince. You are not willing to be a lowly subordinate, and I have helped you a lot in secret, until you sit firmly in charge of the prince's courtyard. Although you are diligent and restrained, you must forget that these are not obtained by your ability, if one day I will not protect you, in this palace, do you still have a foothold? ”
"Don't threaten me with this matter, if only you have spoken, without my efforts, I would have died under the stick of no one in this palace where the law of the jungle eats the strong."
"Wu Yao, do you know what you're talking about? This is Prince Rong's mansion, not a slave market, everything here must be done according to the rules, and what you speak must be evidence-based. You tell me the truth, did the jade pillow make you move? ”
"You don't have the right to know, get out of the way." Wu Yao arrogantly pushed Su Jiu away and strode out of the bedroom.
Su Jiu stood in place, looking at the futon that fell on the ground, he sighed and picked it up and threw it back on the bed. Wu Yao didn't want to mention the jade pillow so much, I'm afraid that what Nalan Ci said was true, Wu Yao was also stupid, the capital is so big, there are only a few shops that can accept or transform high-quality jade materials, and you can know it by checking it yourself.
Su Jiu originally wanted Wu Yao to say it himself, so that he could think of a way for him, but Cheng thought that Wu Yao was so hard-hearted that he refused to say it even if he was dead or alive.
There is no other way, Su Jiu has also given the opportunity that should be given, thinking of this, Su Jiu strode out of the house and ran straight out of the palace.
When Gu Jinzhi returned to Jinlan Pavilion, he took the good jade hairpin and the broken one for comparison, although the two seemed to be very similar, but they couldn't stand a closer look, Zijia looked at it from the side and also saw the clues.
"Childe, as you said, although these are all high-grade mutton fat white jade, they are still very different."
"Yes, the prince said, this jade hairpin is red when it is hot, where can this broken jade hairpin be compared. However, Gu Taishi really feels sorry for his son, and he can't ask for such a good thing even if it is ten thousand dollars, so this gift is a pair. ”
"These slaves and maids can see it, and the prince must also see it, but everything has to be evidenced, son, if you don't have evidence, you can't punish Wu Yao, and you can't give an account to the prince and himself."
"Auntie, I just can't figure it out now, the prince has originally given the hairpin to Wu Yao, how dare Wu Yao dare to steal the beam and change the pillar, and where did he get the best jade hairpin? My aunt has been in the house for many years, but do you still remember, when did there be such a good jade material in the house? ”
Zijia settled down and thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, remembering that Nalan Ci had taken back the mutton fat white jade pillow in the mansion that year, and said something to Gu Jinzhi, Gu Jinzhi immediately asked Zijia to look for Su Jiu, but Zijia ran away, because Su Jiu had already left the house and was now missing.
Zijia informed Gu Jinzhi of Su Jiu's absence in the mansion, Gu Jinzhi was a little embarrassed, since Su Jiu was not there, he couldn't wait, Xu was also because he had nothing to do, so he thought about going out of the house to find a jade shop. When Zijia heard that Gu Jinzhi was going to leave the house, she immediately stopped her.
"Childe, you should know your identity, you can't leave the house. Even if the slave and maid let it, the prince will not. ”
"This ......" Gu Jinzhi was reminded by Zi Jiayi, and then he thought of it, only to see him lower his eyes for a long time before raising his head.
"I can't leave the house, Aunt Zijia, can you?"
"It's all up to Childe's orders."
Gu Jinzhi commanded in Zijia's ear for a long time, the more Zijia listened, the more pleasant she became, when Gu Jinzhi finished speaking, Zijia immediately nodded, and did not dare to delay and immediately left the house, but when Zijia ran to the second jade store, she happened to meet Su Jiu, who was not in the house.
Su Jiuwan didn't expect to meet Zijia here, but seeing Zijia appear, Su Jiu also knew the purpose of her coming here.
But Zijia saw Su Jiu here, and it was a complete surprise:
"Yo, Su Jiu, why are you here, don't you have to follow the prince to do things, I heard that the prince has recently returned to the court, presumably the prince is quite helpless."
"Ah, Aunt Zijia, the prince doesn't need me for the time being, and besides, in the prince's mansion, what can the prince be helpless to become, but there are too many government affairs, and he is a little busy, but it's my aunt, I remember the people in the house, it seems that they can't go out of the house at will, right?"
Zijia was not annoyed when she heard Su Jiu's words, but took out a token from her waist and shook it in front of Su Jiu casually, Su Jiu was inevitably shocked when she saw it, Zi Jia was holding Nalan Ci's gold medal in her hand, and the huge palace didn't even have a princess, Su Jiu had been by Nalan Ci's side, and there was basically nothing he didn't know, and it wasn't when Nalan Ci actually gave this gold medal to Zijia.
"The prince was afraid that the prince would have something urgent in the mansion, so he gave me the gold medal that could enter and leave the palace at will.
"Aunt Zijia, we are all the prince's henchmen, why do I look at you recently, it seems that I am more partial to that son, you know that he is just a substitute."
"I don't care if I don't replace him, on the day the prince entered the palace, the prince personally ordered me to take care of him, I don't care if he is a commoner or a prince, as long as it is the prince's order, let me take care of whoever I want to serve faithfully. But there is one sentence you can say wrong, I have only one master in this life, if you weigh the pros and cons, I should be the main prince, okay, don't talk to you here, I have to finish the work earlier, and go back to the house before dark, otherwise the son's dinner, I am afraid that the people will be negligent. ”
After that, Zijia no longer said anything else to Su Jiu, but directly called the shopkeeper over and asked about the mutton fat white jade, but he thought that the shopkeeper turned out to be a lot of people, and when he heard Zijia come to ask about the mutton fat white jade, he immediately smiled:
"Alas, the girl sees that you and this son are acquaintances, and it is a coincidence that this question is also a coincidence, this son just inquired about the white jade of the sheep's finger, do you also want to ask about a white jade pillow?"
