"It's an uncle, but it's a shame to steal food in the main hall."

Just as Jiang Ning was waiting quietly, a low voice suddenly came from next to him.

He looked sideways and saw that it was Xuan Yue quietly grimacing at him.

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and said unceremoniously:

"Ben will be just a mere mortal, so he naturally has to fill in the belly.

But it is not as good as a little real person, and he can cultivate in the valley. ”

As he spoke, he teased again: "It's just that I don't know why the little real person was eating just now, isn't it that he has cultivated the Tao and is greedy for appetite?" ”

Seeing Jiang Ning mocking herself, Xuan Yue was angry, and her little face flushed and she retorted:

"Hmph, then I'm at least eating openly.

As for you, hide in the corner and eat secretly, be careful of being known by others, damage your reputation, and refer to you in front of the emperor. ”

"Oh?"

Jiang Ning leaned over with interest and whispered, "Girl, why don't you try to complain to Your Majesty and see what he will do with me." ”

Xuan Yue was startled by his sudden approach, took a few steps back, and heard the name in his words, and exclaimed:

"You, how do you know I'm ......"

At this moment, she saw that Zhang Tianshi and Cheng Guogong were leaving, so she hurriedly stopped talking and was about to follow.

Jiang Ning tugged at her sleeve.

"What!"

"It's also fate for you and me to meet, I'll give you a gift, right?"

"What?"

Xuan Yue was stunned, her little nose wrinkled slightly, and she was indescribably cute.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, and quickly took out half a meatloaf from his arms and stuffed it into her hand.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Xuan Yue stood in place in a daze, and it took a long time to realize what it was, and immediately her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Ning angrily.

It's just that he was talking to the emperor at this time, but it was not good to come forward and make noise, so he had to leave with Zhang Tianshi.

Zhu Houzhao instructed Jiang Ning:

"Yunyang is messing around in the harem again, what is he talking about catching thieves, and it is related to Aunt Deqing, you go and see for me, what is going on.

It's best to tell her to stop, so as not to collide with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. ”

"Obey."

Jiang Ning took the order and left.

Ma Yongcheng, who was waiting for Zhu Houzhao on the side, saw this, rolled his eyes, and stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the old slave is in charge of the treasury of the inner court, if there is an eyeless palace maid who steals, the old slave will not be able to get out of it.

Why don't you go and see it with Wu Anbo. ”

Zhu Houzhao responded casually.

Ma Yongcheng showed a touch of joy and hurriedly chased Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning had just followed the palace maid into a palace gate, and saw the eldest princess of Yun'an standing in front of a rockery.

She also wore a big red skirt today, and her face was carefully dressed, which was three points more delicate than usual.

There were also two palace maids standing beside him.

With this scene, if it is painted, it must be a good picture of a lady.

Jiang Ning glanced at it a few more times, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The minister has seen His Royal Highness Yun'an. ”

At the same time, he began to speculate in his mind.

Yun An obviously waited for him here on purpose, and the matter was related to Yun Yang.

Didn't he say it to the two princesses last time, and he had already put it into action?

Thinking like this, Jiang Ning asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, but Princess Yunyang ...... she?"

Yun An nodded, waved away a few palace maids, and then said in a panic:

"Yunyang is in trouble this time.

Originally, after listening to the plan you said last time, Yunyang took the opportunity to enter his aunt's mansion in the past two days, took one of her golden jade steps from his father's imperial gift, exchanged it with a fake, and prepared to put it in the female official's room, so that he could have a reason to punish her.

I don't want this step shake to be a congratulatory gift from my aunt to Queen Xia.

Now that the fake is being pointed out in public in the palace, the Empress Dowager is furious.

My aunt was kowtowing and weeping, and asked the Queen Mother to send someone to search the mansion so that she could prove her innocence. ”

"Huh?"

Rao is Jiang Ning has seen strong winds and waves, and he can't help but open his mouth wide.

Don't be so coincidental.

If it is not handled well, then Princess Deqing is afraid that she will be severely punished.

Even in order to prove her innocence, it is not impossible for her to choose suicide.

A proper royal scandal!

Jiang Ning thought about it for a while, and then said: "It seems that the plan for today is to keep doing two things, and steal the female official and sit down."

Your Highness, where is that step now? But it's already in the lady's room? ”

Yun An said with embarrassment:

"Before we could do that, it happened.

That step is in my arms. ”

Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "I'll leave it to the minister." ”

Yun An replied shyly, turned his back, lifted his clothes with a red face, and took out Bu Shao.

And handed over together, there is also a close-fitting brocade that she used to wrap and shake.

Jiang Ning took it, only to feel that the veil was still warm, and there was a faint fragrance.

It's just that he didn't care about it, so he casually put it in his sleeve.

Princess Yun'an was consciously preparing to bring Jinpa back, but after seeing this scene, she stopped talking.

At this time, Ma Yongcheng suddenly trotted over and shouted, "Lord Jiang, wait for our family." Our family is ordered by His Majesty to go with you. ”

Yun An was taken aback, no longer entangled in Jinpa's matter, and said: "This Ma Gonggong has something to do with that female official, please be careful with Wu Anbo." ”

With that, she lifted her skirt and ran away.

Jiang Ning turned around thoughtfully, only to see Ma Yongcheng running over sweating profusely.

"Master Jiang, let's go with you."

"So much for the best.

My father-in-law is in charge of the inner government, and I think I am very handy with such things. ”

Ma Yongcheng squeezed out a smile and said:

Master Jiang laughed. There are some eyeless things in the palace that move their hands and feet, but if they are worthless things, most of the time they go with them.

They are all hard-working people, so why bother. ”

He paused, glanced at Jiang Ning's face, and said:

"We've probably heard about it.

Speaking of the female official in Princess Deqing's mansion, our family has a pretty good relationship with her, and we know that she is a person and works very hard.

I'm afraid that someone under her hands took something to take it, so she took the initiative to take it on her body. ”

Jiang Ning smiled: "I have seen her once before, and she is indeed a very prestigious steward, and the palace maids in the palace all admire her."

It would not be surprising if it was according to the words of my father-in-law, and it would have won the hearts of the people like this. ”

When Ma Yongcheng saw him say this, he just believed his own words, and his heart was overjoyed.

The two immediately rushed to Cining Palace.

I saw Princess Deqing kneeling in front of the Queen Mother, crying and begging for a thorough investigation of the mansion and her innocence.

The female officer also knelt to the side, trying to say that she did not know.

She has served the Empress Dowager for more than 20 years, and she has this confidence.

When the Empress Dowager saw Jiang Ning and the others, she immediately issued an edict asking them to go to Princess Deqing's Mansion to investigate thoroughly.

Jiang Ning and Ma Yongcheng got the will, and hurriedly rushed to the princess's mansion and began to search.

It's just the room of an ordinary palace maid, and there really isn't anything.

Soon, the two came to the women's house.

Jiang Ning only glanced at it, and found many valuable things.

And after rummaging for a while, the table was full of treasures.

The golden light is shining, so that it is not hot for human eyes.

Ma Yongcheng watched his movements, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Finally, Jiang Ning turned the room upside down, but there was no step shaking.

Ma Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that there is nothing, why don't we go somewhere else to take a look?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Jiang Ning shook his head:

"This female official is just a housekeeper, but she has so many treasures, I am afraid that there is something strange.

Or ask someone to come over and see if it's a thing in the house. ”

Ma Yongcheng was overjoyed, and immediately called the steward eunuch on the side to whisper a few words.

The steward and eunuch got the order and hurriedly withdrew from the house.

After a while, they came in and took a look at the palace maids, pretending to look at them one by one, and then said in unison:

"Your Excellency, these things on the table are not registered in the house."

"It's the best, I think it's all the female officer's personal belongings."

Jiang Ning nodded, as if he had made up his mind on the matter.

Ma Yongchengle blossomed and said, "Then Lord Jiang, let's go to another place to continue the search, and we must give Princess Deqing an explanation." ”

Jiang Ning didn't answer, but picked up a vase casually and sighed:

"Speaking of which, there have never been so many good things in the general's mansion, but today can be regarded as an eye-opener."

As he spoke, he pretended to slip his hand, and the vase accidentally shattered on the ground.

And between the fragments, a golden jewel step was revealed.

When he landed, the room was silent.
