One hundred and sixty-six substitutions
The hole on the auspicious suit is very neat, and it can be seen that it should have been cut with a sharp blade.? ? Bayi?? Chinese?? Net?? .? 8. 1 z There is a tight silk embroidery pattern in the place where the group flower is embroidered, which is tight and heavy, but it is not easy to cut, so there are many broken silk threads at the break, and the wisps are dragged where.
Xie Ning lowered his head and looked carefully, and it could be seen that the strip was cut from the upper right corner of the piece of flower to the bottom left, and this piece of flower was under the placket, and the size was about six or seven inches. The entire Luanniao Autumn Moon Flower is almost completely cut off, and there is no way to make up for it.
"When did this appear? When was the last time you checked it? ”
Qinghe and Fang Shanggong's faces were pale, and now apart from the two of them, only Xia Yue, who went to get the auspicious clothes with Qinghe, knew about it, and she still kept it a secret from the outside world.
"I shook off the cover and took a look at it when I was cleaning it yesterday, and it was fine at the time."
The cleaning was done early yesterday morning, how many hours have it been until now? Two whole days and one night, who knows when it was cut?
But one thing is clear. It is difficult for someone to sneak into the side hall at night, the palace people and eunuchs live in the row room at the back of Yong'an Palace, and the next door and the heavy palace door are locked, guarded, it is impossible to sing in the play at night, as written in the book, just slip out of one to burn a paper and meet an old man to cut a skirt or something. And the number of people who can enter the side hall during the day is also limited.
If it was done by an assassin who cut out the impossible cornices, then the scope of the attacker was actually very small. Of course it is impossible for an assassin, if you have the ability to visit the Forbidden Palace at night, why should you be bored and cut a skirt? If you want to cut it, then wouldn't it be more interesting to cut a head or something?
Xie Ning was silent for a while, and did not speak immediately, Fang Shanggong and Qinghe stood aside, their faces very ugly. The destruction of Jifu is not a trivial matter, and the canonization ceremony will definitely be affected, needless to say, if you think about it deeply, wouldn't this make Xie Ning, the noble concubine, lose face, and even the newly canonized honor was cast a shadow of ominous?
"Can the skirt be mended?"
Fang Shanggong shook her head, she was born in the Needlework Bureau, and she was most familiar with this, what kind of damage could be repaired and what could not be repaired.
"I'm afraid it's too late to redo it, right?"
Fang Shanggong nodded again, but she also said another thing: "It's definitely too late to redo exactly the same as this one, but according to the slave's previous experience, the Needlework Bureau will not only do one, they always have to prevent the master from being dissatisfied with the first one presented, eighty percent will have a spare one, and the material may be similar to this one, but the embroidery pattern must be different." The master is now the most noble concubine in the harem, and they are afraid that they will not serve them well, so they must have a spare one in their hands. ”
Xie Ning nodded: "Then go and ask, if there is one that can be replaced, it is the best." If not, think of a way to deal with the canonization of the day after tomorrow. This thing...... Don't make a noise yet, whoever is the one who started it will be handed over to the two of you to investigate. Hu Rong can also inform him there, and others don't need to. ”
Fang Shanggong and Qinghe were a little surprised by their master's calmness, except for the shock at the beginning and the silence later, Xie Ning didn't complain angrily, nor did he immediately look for this bold thief.
That's right, it's a thief.
Fang Shanggong and Qinghe both knew that this matter must have been done by internal thieves. In addition to the concubine, there are three little masters in Yong'an Palace, and the palace gate is by no means ordinarily strict, not only the main gate, but also the side door and the corner gate are guarded day and night, and it is difficult for outsiders to take a step. The main hall, the apse and the small study are not allowed to enter even the ordinary palace maids and eunuchs of Yong'an Palace, and the people who can enter can only be counted on ten fingers.
Among these people, except for Xia Yue and Xia Hong, almost all of them are old people who were called by the master when he was in the Xiangxiang Pavilion, and he used to think that these people were reliable, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, Qinghe's face as the palace maid in charge was naturally gloomy, this was her dereliction of duty. And Fang Shang Palace is the same.
If you can cut your clothes today, who knows if you will be poisoned tomorrow?
Qinghe gritted his teeth, and wanted to find out this person without delay, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully this night. Even if the master doesn't deal with her for her dereliction of duty, Qinghe himself feels that he has no face to occupy the position of the palace maid in charge.
Who did it? Judging from the time, many people have been in and out of the side hall in two days and one night, and almost all of them are suspected of being unable to get out. Here Qinghe can first exclude himself and Fang Shanggong, and then Qinghe's stupid girl. Although Xia Yue and Xia Hong are newcomers, they usually act without leakage, and in some places Qinghe has to be ashamed of themselves. She also knows that half of what can do this big palace maid battle is ability, and half is qualification. After all, she was the person who served her soon after her master entered the palace, and she couldn't get past her later. These two people were sent by Bai Hongqi, and maybe the emperor's intention behind this is still the emperor's intention, of course, it can be regarded as reliable.
As for the others, Tao Feng and Yin Zhuer are the apprentices of Qinghe and Qingmei, of course, now their names have also been changed, Tao Feng changed his name to Qingyan, Yin Zhuer's name has not changed, and he is directly called Qingzhu. After the names of the two people were changed, the whole person's spirit was different, and the energy of the eager performance made Qinghe feel helpless sometimes.
To say that the two of them may be the ones who cut the auspicious clothes, Qinghe really can't believe it. Qinghe thinks that he still knows how to look at people, the original Tao Feng, the current Qingyan, the strength of the master is simply to the point of foolishness, when he wipes the mirror and wipes the head of the bed for the master, he is serious and wants to grind the paint down a layer.
To say that the two of them would do such a thing, Qinghe also felt that it was impossible. The rest are a few palace maids who clean up and run errands and pass on messages, and Qingyan and they are also the same people, all of whom were picked out by Zhou Yuchen and sent to Yingxiang Pavilion at that time, and the time they spent together was not short, so it could not be said that they were unfeeling.
It was precisely because of his affection that after this kind of thing happened, Qinghe felt extremely angry, as if he had been stabbed in the back. If an outsider in Yong'an Palace made a hostile and hurtful act, she would only be angry, not sad, because she was originally the opposite, so what was there to be sad about? But these people are people in the Yong'an Palace.
Uncomfortable and uncomfortable, Xie Qinghe definitely has no intention of being soft and foolish. First, it's not something to fool around. Even if the master is not publicized, the emperor will definitely know about this matter in the end. Xia Yue came out of Bai Hongqi**, and if she knew about it, she might not be able to hide it from Bai Hongqi. Bai Hongqi wants to know, can he not report to the emperor? Again, this kind of house thief with an outside heart is too dangerous, and it can be said that it can be regarded as an evil among all kinds of opponents. There is a way to prevent thieves day and night, who knows what else this person will do? Until now, Qinghe still has a doubt, since this person can sneak into the side hall and cut the auspicious clothes, why don't he simply do something more serious and powerful? If you don't say anything else, if you use your hands and feet on the second prince, half of the sky in Yong'an Palace will collapse. Although it is also a disgusting thing to cut through the auspicious clothes, after all, it is just a disgusting person, but it exposes the existence of this thief who doesn't know who came in, which can be said to be a bit more than worth the loss.
Fang Shanggong personally went to the Needlework Bureau, and when he came back, he followed a few people from the Needlework Bureau and brought a few boxes of clothes, saying that he was cutting two more cloaks for the three little masters. This is why Yong'an Palace has such a tone and confidence, even if there are no three little masters, what does the concubine want more than the rules, is it not a matter of course?
The men brought the clothes and took the reward, and there was indeed some fabric in the open boxes, but one of the boxes contained a crimson auspicious robe.
Fang Shanggong is old and refined, and what he said is indeed right, the Needlework Bureau has really prepared two auspicious clothes, and the material is exactly the same as the previous frost red satin, which is simply cut out of the same cloth. This one is not only not inferior to the previous one, but even looks a little more luxurious. The embroidered Luan Bird's eyes are decorated with golden amber stones, it seems that the plan of the Needlework Bureau is that if the concubine Niangniang is not satisfied with the first piece, then take out this second piece, because of this, this one is more beautiful, in Xie Ning's eyes, it is a bit too flamboyant, in fact, the first piece is gorgeous enough in her opinion.
"Then this one." In short, the canonization ceremony can be dealt with, and there is no need to worry about the details. Xie Ning asked again: "The people from the Needle Work Bureau don't know, right?" ”
"Only Fu Shanggong probably guessed a little, but she is very knowledgeable and will never talk nonsense."
Shainin nodded, can it be less troublesome or less troublesome.
"These clothes need to be taken care of."
Qinghe looked ashamed: "Master, don't worry, the slave and maid have to keep an eye on it at night, and they must not go wrong again." It's just to find the person who started it, and there are no eyebrows yet. ”
Because the master couldn't say anything, and at such a critical time before the canonization, Qinghe couldn't use the means to do it.
"Let's talk about it after the canonization."
Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded.
It is...... She also felt a little strange.
The master has a good temper, but this time he is inevitably too easy to speak. Qinghe thought about it, if he encountered this kind of thing, he would definitely have to strictly investigate and lock it as soon as possible, and he would never leave such a person to serve by his side again.
Xie Ning said to Fang Shanggong: "Fang Shanggong is also more concerned about this matter, Qinghe is still young after all, and he is not as thoughtful as you." ”
Fang Shanggong also hurriedly responded.
Qinghe also made a suggestion, originally there was no shortage of manpower in Yong'an Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were rarely left alone, and some errands that needed to go out to run errands were even more in pairs, to prevent this kind of misdeeds of colluding with outsiders, in the future, we should look more closely at this, and before finding out the inner ghost, we must not make a little mistake, and we can't afford to make a mistake.
