"Mother, what are you talking nonsense?" Tao Tao behind Concubine Guo Xian opened her mouth to stop.

Concubine Guo Xian clapped her hands and smiled: "Look at Yang Siji's expression." ”

"Mother, you're too foolish." Tao Tao said helplessly.

Lan Yin finally knew that she had been tricked, and she was a little angry, did she come to the palace to play with Concubine Guo Xian?

Concubine Guo Xian probably knew that she was too much, so she took Lan Yin's hand and said: "It's boring in the palace for a long time, it's rare to have an interesting person like Yang Siji, it is inevitable that you can have fun for a while, Yang Siji Haihan." ”

Lan Yin is really angry with her, she just thinks about it this time, she wants to stay away from this Guo Xianfei, no, she wants to stay away from the entire Guo family.

"Niangniang, can you tell me how you found out that Meizhu disappeared?" Lan Yin didn't plan to go around in circles with her anymore, and went straight to the road.

"Momo, you can talk to her." Concubine Guo Xian was a little excited, touching her own Kodan, bored and authentic.

The maidservant named Tao Tao stepped forward and blessed Lan Yin, and said, "I found out that Mei Zhu was missing." ”

"Do you need to take it out often?"

"Concubine Xian Niangniang does not believe in the role of Mei Zhu, since the Empress Dowager gave Mei Zhu, Concubine Xian Niangniang has never touched it except for the first time after taking it out to play with it."

"When did the Empress Dowager give her the pearl?"

"It's been about half a year."

"Never taken it out again?"

"Never." Tao Tao affirmed.

This is strange, how could Wang Cairen suddenly learn about Meizhu half a year later, so that the saint came to please Meizhu?

"Who keeps Mei Zhu usually in custody?"

Tao Tao's eyes suddenly turned red, "Usually it is in Niangniang's private vault, there are two keys, I have one here, Niangniang has one, there must be two keys to open the box." ”

This means that the thief must steal two keys to get the pearl, which is difficult, but not impossible.

"Have you ever lost your key to your mother?" Lan Yin asked.

"Probably not. I carry the keys with me, and I never dare to leave them for a moment. The key next to Niangniang has been placed in her makeup, and the people who can move Niangniang's makeup are just a few of us palace maids. ”

Lan Yin glanced at Tao Tao, that is to say, Tao Tao could have gotten two keys.

"You don't have to doubt her!" Concubine Guo Xian smeared Kodan and suddenly said, "She is my confidant, and I completely believe in her." ”

Momo's eyes turned redder.

Lan Yin was noncommittal, it was not that there were no suspects in this case, but that there were too many suspects.

At least these big palace maids around Concubine Guo Xian are all suspicious, do you want to check them one by one?

"What excuse is it dragging now? When do you need to give Mei Zhu to the Holy One? Lan Yin wanted to know how much time she had left.

Tao Tao glanced at Concubine Guo Xian, and said softly: "Niang Niang said to the sage, Mei Zhu is the inner Dan of the thousand-year-old fox demon, and now Chang'an City is making trouble with the fox demon, if you rashly take out the Mei Zhu, it will attract the fox demon to snatch it, so you need to bathe and fast for fifteen days, and let Zhao Guizhen worship and purify the Mei Zhu, and then hand it over to the saint." ”

Lan Yin was in awe of Concubine Guo Xian at this moment, and sure enough, surviving in the palace was not possible without means. Having said that, one can delay time, and the other can blame others, and the space for maneuver is suddenly much larger.

"Mother's good strategy!" Lan Yin said with sincere admiration.

Concubine Guo Xian smiled: "This is not my idea, it is what my grandmother and the empress dowager meant." ”

Lan Yin had a "groan" in her heart, and sure enough, the eldest princess of Hanyang still had a back hand, and she didn't put all her hopes on her.

Even the people are now full of the emperor alchemy with the blood of the girl, it is conceivable that the court should be quite disapproving of the saint's taking the pill, if the eldest princess of Hanyang is operated properly, it is not impossible to overthrow that Zhao Guizhen.

From the moment Lan Yin decided to enter the palace, she had already foreseen the difficulty of this road, but it was only at this moment that she deeply realized how deep this abyss was.

"Yang Siji? Yang Siji? Seeing Lan Yin deep in thought, Tao Tao couldn't help but remind her.

"Well, I wonder if my aunt can bring me the box containing the pearls?" Lan Yin came back to her senses.

"Yes, knowing that Yang Siji is coming over, Niangniang has just ordered Fengxian to take the box."

Lan Yin remembered the box in Feng Xian's hand, which was boxy and inconspicuous.

Tao Tao took the box, and Lan Yin took it in his hand to check, it should be made of rosewood, and it was carved with intricate patterns.

Momo took two keys and opened the box.

"Hey, why is Meizhu still in there?" Lan Yin was surprised.

"This is an imitation of the mother put in." Momo said cautiously.

Lan Yin picked up the fake pearl and held it up in the sunlight to look at it carefully, the whole body was transparent, refracting colorful light.

The fake ones are so beautiful, what is the real thing?

"How? You can't tell it's fake, right? Concubine Guo Xian said arrogantly.

Lan Yin shook her head.

"This fake pearl is exactly the same as the real pearl we saw, but the real pearl may have an effect that we don't know about." Momo said worriedly.

Lan Yin also thinks the same, no matter how fake it is, it is also fake after all, and it is always too risky.

Lan Yin carefully took out the fake beads and carefully inspected the inside of the box, but it looked like it was just an ordinary box, and there was not even a compartment.

"I wonder if there is a possibility that there are two identical boxes, and the thief only needs to take the real box and leave the empty box, won't he take the pearl?" Lan Yin thought of another possibility.

"It can't be. Yang Siji also saw the size of this box, and it was impossible not to attract people's attention when he held it in his hand. Concubine Xian's private vault is guarded by a special person, and no one can take out such a valuable box without Niangniang's warrant. Tao Tao affirmed.

"Is it possible that someone went to steal it at night?"

"It shouldn't be feasible either. The guards of the private treasury live next to the private treasury, and there are also Jin Wuwei patrols in the palace at night, and the probability of taking out the box is not high. ”

What Tao Tao said also makes sense, then the only possibility is on the way to pick up the box.

"When we pick up valuables, we usually send two people to pick them up, and they can supervise each other." Tao Tao seemed to know what Lan Yin was thinking, and added.

Since the box can't be changed, it can only be someone who takes out the real Meizhu in the private vault and puts it on the body to take it away, as long as the speed is fast enough, the other person may not be able to find it.

In half a year, there will be no fewer people in and out of Concubine Xian's private vault, which is estimated to be quite laborious, and it may be necessary to start with who has access to the key.

The most suspicious thing is these big palace maids!
