The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 53

This method really worked, but within three days, Hu Ling completely believed it. Jiang Youzhi was a naive, kind, and heartless little girl, and she treated her more and more sincerely.

Hu Ling and Lu Xuewen were actually good sisters who entered the palace together, and they were appreciated by the queen one after another.

But Lu Xuewen is smarter and has a sweet mouth, so he will please the queen, so he is naturally more favored. Although Hu Ling looks normal on the surface, she is actually very jealous of Lu Xuewen, and has always been very annoyed by Lu Xuewen's unforgiving mouth.

At noon, the Empress lost her temper a lot.

The reason is that today she was going to deliver lotus seed soup to the emperor, but before she left, she remembered that she had a pair of gold inlaid Nine Dragon Opera Pearl bracelets, and wanted to wear them, but she couldn't find them anywhere.

But this good-looking bracelet still disappeared, it must be some servant with dirty hands and feet to go away.

Then the queen became furious and threatened to catch that nasty thief!
At this moment, as soon as she stepped into the Songhe Courtyard, she felt that something was wrong. After careful inquiry, she found out what happened.

Hu Ling ran into her room in a hurry, took out a handkerchief from under the pillow, opened it, and a gold inlaid Nine Dragons Playing Pearl Bracelet appeared impressively, but there was only one.

It's too late to go back now, the other one has already been sold by her, so she just kept on doing nothing and hid the thing well.

At noon that day, Jiang Youzhi pretended to rest in the yard, but actually followed Hu Ling all the way.

Seeing behind the rockery, Hu Ling was about to hand over the things in her hand to a man who looked like a little eunuch, but the man waved his hand and said: "Hey, my good sister, the limelight has been going on these days, and the steward in the palace will check it out." Yan, I don’t dare to take anything out, one of the bracelets is left outside, who knows when we will be found? You’d better ask for luck.”

After finishing speaking, the little eunuch left. Seeing Hu Ling's face full of sorrow, he sighed a few times and left as well.

Jiang Youzhi, who was hiding behind, showed a smile at the corner of her mouth. A few days ago, Hu Ling cried to herself because Lu Xuewen was very favored in front of the queen and stole many jobs from her.

But her mother happened to be seriously ill, and just when she needed money, Jiang Youzhi introduced her to this little eunuch who smuggled things from the palace and resold them, and let the little eunuch encourage her to steal some valuables that the master would not find easily.

It's just that she didn't expect it to be revealed so quickly.

After Hu Ling returned to the room at night, she hid the bracelet, but the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, the paper couldn't wrap the fire, and this matter would be discovered sooner or later, so she had to make more plans.

"Sister Xuewen, you are back."

There were compliments from several people outside, and Hu Ling looked at everything outside the window coldly.

I saw that Lu Xuewen was proudly saying: "Today, the empress rewarded me with another pearl hairpin, and asked me to help the steward to find out who the thief who stole the bracelet is."

All the embroiderers around her were envious, and one of them said: "Look at what the queen empress means, if you entrust this job to your sister, then you have the intention to promote your sister."

Lu Xuewen was delighted to hear this, and was even more pleased. However, the pearl hairpin was indeed rewarded by the empress, but of course it was not her fault to investigate the thief, it was just Hu Zou Zou.

But the speaker didn't mean it, but it sounded like it meant it. After hearing these words, Hu Ling stared into Lu Xuewen's eyes even more fiercely.

After showing off to the crowd, Lu Xuewen was about to enter the room, but far away, he saw a person sitting on the stone steps crying.

After walking in, I realized that it was Hu Ling, so I asked in confusion, "Hu Ling, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Ling's face was full of tears, and her voice was sad: "Xuewen, my mother...she is seriously ill, I spent all my money, but it's still not enough, woo woo woo..."

Although Lu Xuewen is bitter and mean, he is still grateful to Hu Ling from the bottom of his heart, because she has received a lot of care from her since she was a child, and she has been moved with compassion.

When her mother was ill, Hu Ling did everything she could to help herself. Thinking of this, she took out a piece of silver from her purse and stuffed it to Hu Ling: "Take this silver, and treat it as my repayment of your kindness back then." , I don’t owe you anything from now on.”

Hearing this, Hu Ling just wanted to laugh. Back then, she was the one who was favored by the Empress Empress first. Seeing Lu Xuewen was pitiful, she introduced her to him. Who would have thought that since then, Lu Xuewen has completely taken over her. seat.

But she pretended to be flattered: "No, no, how can I take your money?"

Lu Xuewen knew that Hu Ling was an extremely honest person, so he lost all doubts and reached out to hold her hand: "You and I are sisters, so we should take care of each other. Take it quickly, it's important to treat the elderly."

Seeing this, Hu Ling burst into tears of gratitude: "Xuewen, thank you..."

Seeing that Lu Xuewen had completely let go of her defenses, she continued: "Xuewen, my mother is very ill and needs a lot of money. The empress also rewarded me with a lot of jewelry in the past, so I thought about selling those items for exchange." For some money, I have already found a good seller, and it was originally agreed that the delivery will be at [-]:[-] tomorrow, but Mammy ordered me to deliver the ready-made clothes, and as you know, Mammy is always strict, so how can I get away when the time comes.”

When Lu Xuewen heard this, he felt a little unwilling: "Why don't we change the agreed time?"

Tears welled up in Hu Ling's eyes: "No, it's hard to find a buyer. If I miss the appointment this time, they won't accept my things again next time. Xuewen, please help me and send them over tomorrow. ,May I?"

Lu Xuewen seemed a little embarrassed: "But..."

Hu Ling began to cry again: "My mother's illness really can't wait, woo woo woo..."

Seeing her sad look, Lu Xuewen couldn't bear it, and after struggling in his heart for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll help you."

At You o'clock on the second day, Lu Xuewen went to deliver jewelry to Hu Ling as usual.

When she arrived at the appointed place, she did see a eunuch waiting, so she handed him the package in her hand.

But suddenly, a large group of guards appeared around.

The eunuch in the head said sharply: "Whoever the miscellaneous family said was so bold and dared to steal the empress's things, it turned out to be you, a little bitch! Come here, take her down for me!"

A guard stepped forward and immediately controlled the two of them. Lu Xuewen said in a panic, "Elder-in-law, did you make a mistake? How could I steal the empress's stuff!"

The eunuch sneered, and said to the guard: "Bring the things in her hand!"

The guards immediately snatched the package from Lu Xuewen's hand, and after opening it, apart from some ordinary jewelry, a gold-encrusted Kowloon opera bead bracelet also appeared inside!
Seeing this, Lu Xuewen panicked, "It's not me! It's Hu Ling, these things belong to Hu Ling! She asked me to come!"

But the eunuch would not listen to his explanation, whoever found the bracelet naturally stole it.

Then he said sharply: "Tie up these two people, gag their mouths, and take them down!"
