Chapter 1186 Unfortunately She Guessed It
Gu Zheng quietly tugged at the hem of Yue Lingzhi's clothes, Yue Lingzhi understood, stepped aside, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with that gift?"

Gu Zheng nodded: "One of the boxes containing silver ingots made a slight ticking sound."

Yue Lingzhi's face changed suddenly: "Could it be that there is really a time bomb?"

She was just guessing, but unfortunately she guessed it right!
Gu Zheng looked serious: "It's not sure yet, but there must be problems."

Yue Lingzhi decided decisively: "I have to check that wooden box quickly!"

There is already a 50.00% chance that there is a time bomb inside the box.

If it is really a time bomb, I don't know how much time is left.

The emperor deliberately ordered people to bring gifts when the banquet was about to start, and he also wanted all the gifts sent by his father-in-law to be arranged in the lobby.

In this way, it is not easy for them to remove the things for inspection immediately.

Dog Emperor!He must have used the bustling guests in the lobby to cover up the tiny ticking sound.

If it wasn't for Gu Zheng being different from ordinary people, he certainly wouldn't be able to hear the difference from so many noises.

However, what excuse would she use to get the wooden box containing the silver ingots to a place where no one was looking?

There is a way!

Yue Lingzhi happened to see a maid carrying tea to the lobby.

She approached the maid calmly, when the maid passed by the box containing the silver ingots, she bumped into Yue Lingzhi suddenly.

"what……"

Amidst the maid's exclamation, Yue Lingzhi took the opportunity to push the hot tea in the maid's hand into the wooden box containing the silver ingots.

With a bang, the porcelain teapot fell on top of the silver ingot, the teapot shattered, and the tea drenched the silver ingot in the box.

The maid was so scared that her face turned pale, she knelt down tremblingly and begged for mercy: "Princess, please spare me! Slave... Slave..."

Yue Lingzhi said kindly, "You can't blame it all, I am also responsible. Today is a happy day, so I don't need to pursue it."

The maid was grateful: "Thank you Princess Nanyue for your forgiveness..."

Yue Lingzhi waved his hand: "Get up and do something!"

Then Yue Lingzhi explained to her father-in-law: "It happened suddenly, please forgive me, my father-in-law, I will immediately ask the servants to wipe off the water stains on the silver ingot."

The object originally given by the emperor was splashed with tea, which is disrespectful to the emperor, and the perpetrator must be severely punished.

But Princess Nanyue admitted that she bumped into the maid, and she forgave the maid on the spot.

Although the leader's father-in-law's expression changed, it was not easy for him to attack Nanyue Wangfei on the spot.

The people in the Nanyue palace are the emperor's favour, so when it's their turn to make trouble?
Time was running out, Yue Lingzhi didn't have time to look at the faces of these father-in-laws, and ordered someone to carry the wooden box down.

Gu Zheng asked the housekeeper to reward these father-in-laws with silver taels.

After these father-in-laws went out, Gu Zheng hurried to the back hall.

Yue Lingzhi went to the back hall with the servants carrying the boxes, and personally took the handkerchief and wiped the silver ingots.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng hurried to help.

Soon, he found the problematic silver ingot at the bottom.

He gave the silver ingot to Yue Lingzhi.

Yue Lingzhi's hearing is not bad, even if she puts the silver ingot to her ear, she can hear something strange.

While the maid wiping the silver ingot was not paying attention, she put the problematic silver ingot into the space.

Then she explained to the steward, wiped the silver ingot clean, and carried it back to the lobby.

Then she hurried into the room, and Gu Zheng also followed.

Lingzhi said that the power of the time bomb is astonishing, a small one can blow up the entire palace, although it is placed in the space now, if the space is bombed...
