The Imperial City in the dark is always prone to some secret transactions. For example, to convey information and so on.

No, Gonggong Xu will be waiting for the deal he wants right away.

Gonggong Xu looked left and right, cautiously stepped into the harem, bypassed the three or five Praetorian Guards who had just patrolled the garden, and waited for the arrival of the trader with him next to the rockery in the garden. He hid his body, after all, the palace is still divided into levels and levels. Just as the harem is not allowed to enter the main hall without an order, and these inferior subordinates are not allowed to enter the harem without orders. If it is discovered, it will be almost crippled, or it will be a dead cane.

He rubbed his hands back and forth, and only after half a day, Wang Jue sent Yuchun to deliver the message, Yuchun looked flustered, and before leaving, he accidentally bumped into it. It can be seen that she is willing to spend a lot of money to buy back this pearl.

Gonggong Xu couldn't help but take out this pearl, the pearl was crystal clear throughout, and it emitted a faint light in the moonlight. He sighed quietly: "This pearl is worth a lot of money." Alas, if it weren't for a secret on your body, otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. After saying that, he carefully wiped the pearl and carefully withdrew it into the bag. I continued to look left and right.

Somewhere in the harem in the distance, there were a few points of light that attracted attention.

Gonggong Xu soon found out, he raised his head, thinking about whether the arrival of the concubine Niangniang, but such a big candle flame is not easy to attract the attention of others?

Father-in-law Xu waited for a while, the bright light was indeed coming towards the designated place, and the closer he got to Father-in-law Xu, the more he felt that something was wrong.

This light seems to be a little too bright, and the battle is more like a lot of people holding candles, or patrolling guards. But didn't you just patrol just now?

Even if he felt that something was wrong, Gonggong Xu was willing to take the risk of waiting a little longer, and his body shrank towards the rockery, thinking, as long as he was not discovered. After all, the price of Jue Concubine is a price that makes Xu Gonggong's heart move.

Sure enough, as Xu Gonggong expected, the bright light was indeed the internal ban soldiers, and more than a dozen people walked into the garden in a mighty way, but what Xu Gonggong didn't expect was that those internal ban soldiers were not here to patrol, but to arrest people!

"Look around, and some people say that they see a thief here, and they must not let him escape. The loud voice of the leader of the Praetorian Guards came into the ears of Gonggong Xu.

The "old man" in this palace, Father-in-law Xu, naturally knew that he had been tricked. What can I do, I can only sneak away, in the past, he was the queen's accompanying eunuch, and it was not a strange thing to appear in the garden. If it were now, just entering the range of the harem would be enough to convict.

But how did this Gonggong Xu be the opponent of the Praetorian Guard, he was caught in a while. No matter how much they cry and shout that they are wronged, no one will pay attention.

Instead, he was escorted by soldiers and walked towards Mingfang Palace.

Seeing Mingfang Palace, Gonggong Xu was still a little excited, and felt that he could let Concubine Jue explain the misunderstanding, but it was also a lot quieter.

Entering the Mingfang Palace, the captain of the forbidden squad said to Yuchun at the door: "Please inform Niangniang that the thief who stole Niangniang's silk handkerchief has been caught in the garden." “

Yuchun glanced at Gonggong Xu and said, "Niangniang has already rested, it's good if this thief is caught." “

Gonggong Xu shouted: "Miss Yuchun, it's an old slave, tell the captain of the guard, the old slave is not a thief, and I haven't seen any silk handkerchief." “

The leader of the guards looked at the two people suspiciously, and Na Yuchun seemed to be confident, and said unhurriedly: "Bold thief, what kind of quibble, you inferior slave, you should not appear in the harem." “

"Miss Yuchun, it's not you, say, it's Concubine Jue. Before Gonggong Xu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yuchun's movements.

I saw Yuchun stretch out his hand, pull out a silk handkerchief from Gonggong Xu's body, and reprimand loudly: "Look, the handkerchief is not on your body, you are still quibbling." “

Gonggong Xu was dumbfounded, and after a while, he remembered that in the afternoon, when Yuchun came, he accidentally bumped into Gonggong Xu, which must have been that time.

It was the pause that made Gonggong Xu lose the best opportunity.

Yuchun said: "Niangniang is thinking that when you are old, you will let people beat a thirty board to show punishment." “

"Yes. Pull it down. When the leader of the guards heard this, he ordered people to drag it down, but no matter how much Gonggong Xu shouted, it was useless.

"Miss Yuchun, what else is missing?" the leader asked.

"Niangniang hasn't sorted it out yet, but today I suddenly remembered the silk handkerchief, and I happened to see a figure sneaking out, so I reported it. The silk handkerchief is also a thing that the mother carries with her, and the thief must have seen it unintentionally. After the inventory, if you find anything else missing, you will definitely tell General Tian about it. Yuchun said.

"Okay, the minister stepped back first. “

Yuchun walked into the palace, Jue Concubine Niangniang was wearing a translucent gauze dress, lying on her side on the bed, Yuchun said: "Niangniang, everything is taken care of, everything is going well." “

"Good. Jue Concubine looked unusually calm at the cries that came from time to time outside.

"Mother, but why did you do this? Yuchun asked suspiciously: "Niang Niang is not afraid of that Xu Gonggong, if she is afraid, she will recruit everything?"

"Recruited? Whatever he says, no one else will believe it. Hongu did this to let him know that he didn't think that if he had a little gadget in his hand, he could threaten Hongu. Wang Jue smiled and said, "Moreover, the palace still wants to keep him and deal with Wang Yu." “

"Then what if Father-in-law Xu doesn't agree?"

"No, the green clam pearl is still in his hand, and the green clam pearl in the main palace also happens to be missing. Wang Jue played with the green clam pearl that he had just torn off in his hand, and said with a smile. Stretching out his hand, he handed the headdress, the jewelry with the missing pearls to Yuchun, and said, "Keep my jewelry properly." “

"Yes, sis. Yuchun took the jewelry and nodded.

Now, Yuchun may understand Wang Jue's intentions today.

In the harem, Wang Xi had just walked towards Luanfeng Palace, but he saw such a scene, stopped Captain Tian, and said, "General Tian, it's so late, General Tian is still patrolling?"

General Tian smiled and said, "It turned out to be Wang Xi's father-in-law." It's not a patrol, it's the concubine who said that she lost something there and entered the thief, thinking that the concubine should not be lazy, so she came in person. “

"Lost something?" Wang Xi said, "Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's a small thing, the thief has already been caught, it's the inferior Gonggong Xu, who has been beaten for thirty boards and has been sent back. General Tian told the truth.

"So that's the case, that hard work General Tian. Wang Xi smiled and arched his hand.

"Where, where, Wang Xi's father-in-law is hard. “

"Haha, they are both emperors, and they all do their best. Wang Xi said: "Then don't disturb General Tian's rest, General Tian please." “

"Please. “

Wang Xi took three or four little eunuchs and continued to walk forward, but behind him, General Tian's voice came again: "Father-in-law Wang Xi, please stay." “

Wang Xi stopped, turned his head, and said, "General Tian still has something?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that there was something just now, I think, a little strange. But it's not a big deal, and I don't dare to tell the emperor in person. “

"Oh, General Tian, please speak. “

"That is, just now, Miss Yuchun, the conversation with Gonggong Xu seems a little strange. “

General Tian thought about it and decided to say it.
