Shu Blossoms

Chapter 366 A Curious Play That Moved Hands and Feet?
Mrs. Zhang looked up at the eldest princess in shock when she heard the words. She was always a smart person, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand out from the palace and win the job of serving the princess.

"Could it be that Dongzhu was lost? It's the princess princess."

Seeing the solemnity in the eyes of the eldest princess, Mrs. Zhang lost her strength and fell back to the ground, but she could no longer feel the pain.

Princess Zhaoyang is lost, and a marriage is imminent. If His Majesty is in a rage, the whole family's life will be lost, and it seems that her suspicion is even greater at this time.
"Now that you think about it, you already understand that you are not trying to harm you, but to save you! I heard that today you brought your son and daughter-in-law into the mansion to help, did you not leave tonight?" He got up and looked at her lightly.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly stood up and kowtowed to the eldest princess repeatedly, "Your maidservant made a mistake, my maidservant was deceived by lard, and did such a stupid thing! This servant will do it all!"

"My servant called my son and daughter-in-law in today to help out. I also wanted to steal some worthless dowry from the princess. This servant is guilty of death. Please spare my son and daughter-in-law. They didn't do anything."

"Your business will be interrogated tomorrow. I just want to ask you why you fainted in front of the warehouse door. Did you notice anything strange before you fainted?"

"I really don't know why I fainted." Mrs. Zhang frowned and thought, suddenly thought of something, looked up at the eldest princess, and said with a solemn expression: "I remembered, and I went back to the warehouse after everyone was resting. I stole two small beads from the box of treasures. They are really small beads, the kind used by princesses to reward people. After taking them, I felt a little dizzy, so I went out, and when I reached the door I don't know anything!"

"Where are the beads?"

The eldest princess glanced at the guard, who asked coldly.

Zhang Pozi quickly raised her hand to untie the bun, and took out two nail-sized pearls from it.

This bead is not considered big, but it is round and flawless. It is indeed not too precious in the dowry of Princess Zhaoyang. It is enough to reward the courtiers and family members. Mrs. Zhang took it and sold it enough for their family to eat for several years. .

The guard took it and handed it to Ah Qing, who held it to the Eldest Princess for a look, and looked at Mrs. Zhang with an unchanging expression.

Mrs. Zhang knew that she had reached the current situation, so she could only desperately beg for mercy, "Everything I said at this moment is true, there is absolutely no falsehood, eldest princess, please show mercy, please forgive me!"

The guard whispered: "Princess, what she said this time should be true, but there is nothing unusual about this bead."

Zheng Wei curiously took a bead from Ah Qing's hand, looked at it a few times, and suddenly sniffed it with the tip of her nose, "Ah Niang, there seems to be some strange smell on this bead."

But Ah Qing and the guards couldn't smell it, and the eldest princess tried it but couldn't smell it.

Zheng Wei felt strange, lowered her head and asked Mrs. Zhang, "Are you sure you took this bead from the box you brought back tonight?"

"Yes, yes, it's absolutely true. The princess left in a hurry and didn't have time to seal the box! The other servants dare not move!"

Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly.

She had an idea in her mind, and said to the guard: "Please send someone to bring over the two boxes of things we brought back tonight!"

The things Xia Houqing gave Zheng Wei were placed in the room next door, and she has been in A Niang's room since she came back, and she hasn't had time to look at them yet.After the guards brought it up, Zheng Wei opened the box, the oncoming gloom made her feel a little dizzy, but it passed quickly, as if she was just in a trance, she took out a piece of jade from the box, Putting it on the tip of my nose and smelling it, it seemed that I had inhaled some smell, and my head became even more dizzy.

Zheng Wei staggered, Ah Xin quickly supported her.At this time, the guards also brought Awan's box, and she opened that Awan's box again, and the faint smell was much weaker than hers, and she could barely smell it.

Zheng Wei was already sure in her heart that these things had been tampered with, but for some reason, apart from her, Eldest Princess, A Xin, A Zhi, they couldn't smell anything, it was really strange!
She thought for a while and took Yujue to Mrs. Zhang, and asked, "Do you have a strange smell?"

Mrs. Zhang sniffed and nodded, "Yes, the princess's box also has this smell, and it makes people feel uncomfortable to ask!"

It was Azhi who also interjected, "The princess also returned to the room after feeling dizzy after seeing these things!"

At this time, Zheng Wei was sure that Xia Houqing must have tampered with these things, and had stunned Awan, and then took him away.

And those people originally planned to stun her together, but they didn't expect that she hadn't opened the box all the time, so they narrowly escaped unharmed.

After trying to understand the reason of the matter, she also had a plan in mind, "Please send someone to send these two boxes of things to Xiulizhuang, so that Tong'er can see what's strange inside."

Then he raised his head and said, "Aniang, I have to go out, I'm afraid Xia Houqing has already rushed out of the city with Awan, and I must keep him before they leave the city!"

"Even if you bring all the guards in the mansion with you, it may not be effective. Jiankang City is so big, how do you know which way they go and which gate to leave the city?"

The eldest princess disagrees.

Zheng Wei pulled the eldest princess into the inner room, and showed her a token, although the eldest princess didn't recognize it, she knew the dragon pattern on it, this thing can only belong to Emperor Zhou!
The eldest princess was surprised: "What is this, why is it here?"

Zheng Wei whispered something in the eldest princess' ear, the eldest princess was startled and angry, and didn't know what to say for a while!
"Aniang, since Xia Houqing dared to do something, the people from their envoy must not be in the post house at this time. Someone in Qingwei has been watching Xia Houqing, maybe there is news about him! And at this time, only this token can make him The guards in the city obey orders! I can only handle this matter!"

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, she knew that this token could not be given to someone else, Zheng Wei had to do it herself.

But it's hard to get things done with just her and Qing Wei!
The Eldest Princess stood up abruptly, looked at Zheng Wei solemnly, and said: "Our mother and I will act separately, and promise that mother will take good care of myself and not get hurt again! My mother will not be able to bear it!"

"Daughter, remember!" Before Zheng Wei left, the Eldest Princess asked the guard to lead a group of people to protect Zheng Wei and leave, while she ordered Ah Qing to prepare a carriage and prepare to enter the palace.

As soon as they reached the door, the leader of the guard ran back to report, "This subordinate is incompetent. I searched all the places in the mansion, but no one was found, but my subordinate found signs of someone leaving at the corner gate in the backyard!"

The eldest princess turned her head and asked Zheng Wei, "What do you think?"

Zheng Wei thought for a while and said: "There are traitors in the Princess's Mansion!"

"Danyang Princess is right, the last general also thinks that the thief has a traitor in the mansion!"

The guard leader also followed suit.

"It seems that the palace of the princess is not clean! Qin Yuan, take your people to take good care of the people in this mansion, and interrogate them one by one. Even if the spy escapes, there will be clues left. The people in the mansion have to argue it out, and see where they come from!"

The eldest princess ordered coldly, Qin Yuan is the leader of the guards.

Qin Hao took the order to leave and sealed the princess mansion!

When Zheng Wei walked halfway with the people, Miao Er and Zhao Bei were rushing here, because the curfew was already in place, they were relatively hidden, if Zheng Wei didn't know them well, they wouldn't be able to see them for a while.

Zhao Bei and Miao Er were also very surprised to see her, and hurried over and said, "Something happened at the post house!"
