There are a lot of flowers sent by the flower room this time, most of them are fragrant and elegant or can soothe and soothe the nerves, Xie Wan pruned the branches and leaves one by one and soaked them in water, and finally inserted them into different vases with a little matching, and then replaced them one by one.

After Xie Wan visited, he cleaned up the dead branches and fallen leaves in the courtyard, and then he was called to stop after putting the utensils.

"Wan Niang, come over and take the handle together, and carry this broken case to the court together."

Xie Wan's mind flew around and stepped forward to help, and the palace maid gave a grateful look, "Fortunately, you are willing to help, and I asked many people, and they all said that the work in their hands was not finished." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to move such a heavy case. ”

Xie Wan also smiled kindly, "It's all done together, and you don't have to take it to heart when you help each other." ”

Until the evening, there was a sudden commotion in the Shoukang Palace.

Zhuqing will count the upper and lower items every once in a while, in case there are slaves and maids with bad intentions who steal things out and resell them, and after today's inventory, they found that the queen mother's makeup box was missing something, so the people in the palace were concentrated in the courtyard.

Everyone stood in the courtyard with their heads bowed, and they had never had dinner after a tiring day. Zhu Qing stood on the top of the steps, holding a piece of bamboo in his hand, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and his voice was cold

"There is something missing in the Queen Mother's Palace, and some of you are the real murderer, if you know each other and hand it in now, even if you take the initiative to confess, if you wait for me to find out, it will be a crime. I know you haven't eaten yet, so if you want to blame that one of you for being dishonest. ”

Naturally, many people complained and complained, and naturally no one dared to say that Zhuqing, so they all said that his hands and feet were not clean.

Xie Wan stood at the back and looked at the back, but he didn't react, but he saw the Wutong in front of him take two steps forward, and Wutong's voice sounded clearly in the courtyard, "Back to Mama's words, the slave maid thinks that this person must have the opportunity to enter the inner hall, and there must be enough time, as for the others who can't enter the inner hall, it's better to let them go to eat first, so as not to have no one around the queen mother." ”

Zhu Qing glanced at Wutong and nodded, "That's right, those who have entered the inner hall today are left." ”

Those who were able to leave were naturally grateful to Wutong again, and Wutong looked back and saw that Xie Wan was still standing in place, with a little secret smile in his eyes. "The people present are all sisters, and they don't care if they have a wrong idea, so they confessed earlier. The searchers will be back in a little while, and there will be no chance then. ”

Wutong said, just a few people, you look at me, I look at you, or no one came out to recognize it.

At the time of the stalemate, the person sent by Zhu Qing to search came back with a wooden box, Zhu Qing opened it and nodded, and then looked at the few standing below, "The thing has been found, and finally ask again, if anyone recognizes it." ”

Zhu Qing's eyes swept over Wutong's face, but the court was silent, and no one recognized it. Zhu Qing nodded at the searcher, and the man saluted, "Returning to Mama's words, I found it in Xie Wan's baggage." ”

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Wan, Xie Wan raised his eyes slightly, "The slave doesn't." ”

There was everything in his ear, but Xie Wan just acted as if he hadn't heard it. Zhu Qing's brows frowned slightly, but it was Wutong who rushed to speak, "Bold, the human and material evidence is there, and you still don't kneel down and admit your mistakes." ”

Zhuqing coughed lightly, and Wutong also reacted and took two steps back, lowering his head.

Zhu Qing's face was cloudy, and he gently tapped the bamboo piece in his hand in the palm of his hand, and his voice was a little powerful, "If you don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid you're going to have to suffer a little." ”

The fierce color in Wutong's eyes could barely be concealed, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became higher and higher. Her eyes suddenly looked at Xie Wan, with some pleasure of revenge, "You dare to steal the queen mother's phoenix hairpin without permission, you must want to take it outside the palace to exchange for silver." I'm afraid that you just came, I didn't expect to meet my grandmother to count, and I persuaded you to hurry up and explain to the next family, which can be regarded as your substitution. ”

Xie Wan's lips showed a little smile, and he looked up at Wutong, "How do you know it's Feng Hai, Mama doesn't seem to have said what is missing, right?" ”

Wutong's face froze, and then returned to normal, "I also skimmed a little when Mama Fang looked at the box, it's all at this time, why do you still want to shirk responsibility." ”

Xie Wan glanced at Wutong and bowed down, "The slave and maid live up to the trust of Mama, the thief has already found out, it is Wutong." ”

Wutong's eyebrows furrowed, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart slowly rose, only to see Zhuqing open the box, and there was nothing inside.

Wutong shook his head, took two steps back in disbelief, and then looked at Xie Wan and shouted loudly, "Impossible, this can't be!" It's you, you must have framed me, slut! ”

Zhu Qing's brows furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, his own little eunuch stepped forward and pressed the sycamore that wanted to pounce on Xie Wan.

Xie Wan stood up, just like Wutong looked at her just now, looking at Wutong condescendingly, "You can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, haven't you even understood this sentence in the palace for many years?" ”

In the afternoon, Xie Wan was busy and finally caught the time to rest, taking advantage of no one to pay attention to Xie Wan slipped back to the ear room, searched carefully between his mattress, rummaged through a few more burdens, and finally found a little emerald phoenix-shaped cat's eye hairpin in an inconspicuous corner.

Such a form must be the object of the Queen Mother, and it just so happened that today Xie Wan had the opportunity to enter the inner hall for the first time.

The corners of Xie Wan's lips pulled out a slightly sarcastic arc, no wonder she thought of a way to support her, it turned out that her efforts were here.

Xie Wan carefully put away the hairpin, turned out of the ear room, and directly found Zhuqing and presented the phoenix hairpin, so he was led to the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Zhao sat on the small couch and played with the phoenix hairpin in her hand, lowered her eyes and looked at Xie Wan who was kneeling downward, not smiling but not annoyed, "Since you have found out that someone is trying to harm you, why don't you just put it in that person's baggage, or find a place to ignore this thing, and if you can't find anything left and right, it can be regarded as dead and dead." ”

Xie Wan's expression was calm, "Returning to the Queen Mother, this thing is not a slave's, so the slave and maid handed it over, if the slave and maid also stuff it into her baggage, what is the difference between the slave and the person who stuffed the thing into the slave's baggage." Although the slave and maid are lowly, they also know the truth that you should not do to others what you do not want to be done.

Second, money is something external to the body, and life does not bring it to death. The slave maid is in the inner palace, and she doesn't have to spend her own money to eat and eat, so what do you want so much silver for. And this is the object of the Queen Mother, the slave and maid dare not hide it privately, and they know that it is right to return the thing to the original owner. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled with a smile, she casually put Feng Hai on the table, and waved her hand to signal Xie Wan to stand up.

"And as far as you can see, who will this thief be?"

Empress Dowager Zhao and Zhu Qing were clear in their hearts, almost waiting for Xie Wan to announce Wutong's name. Xie Wan still hung his head, and there was no resentment in his eyes, "The slave doesn't know, but I have thought of a way to find out the real culprit." ”
