The Almighty Princess: She makes waves in the capital with her metaphysics

Chapter 39 Search
Seeing that he was about to reach the bottom of the bed if he moved any further, Luo Jiuli couldn't move anymore. He held his neck and moved further away from him, allowing his body to be hugged. He felt the hot breath on his neck, and his heartbeat was beating like a rabbit. .

After a long time, she finally felt sleepy.

When her breathing gradually stabilized, the man who had already fallen asleep opened his eyes in the darkness, looked at her awkward sleeping posture, and smiled softly.

Then he gently pulled her head over and kissed her gently on the corner of her forehead.

The moon is hidden among the clouds, half in a dream.

I don't know when, a strong wind suddenly started, and a drizzle continued until dawn broke in the sky.

With a 'squeak', the door opened.

Zi Su hurriedly walked in from the door. She shook Luo Jiuli, who was still sleeping, "It's not good, it's not good, Master, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"

Luo Jiuli opened his eyes in confusion and shrank into bed, lazily saying, "What's the matter? It's so urgent."

"There are many imperial guards coming outside, saying they want to search the palace!" Zisu shook Luo Jiuli vigorously, "Master, get up quickly, what should we do!"

Luo Jiuli was shaken so dizzy that he put his hand on Zi Su's hand, "Stop shaking it, stop shaking it."

She sat up and stretched, "What's going on? Why did the Royal Forest Army come to the palace? Where is Jun Mohan?"

"The prince entered the palace early in the morning." Zi Su helped Luo Jiuli get dressed, "I heard that the envoy from southern Xinjiang lost some treasure. The residences of the relevant ministers have been searched, and now only our palace is left. ”

Luo Jiuli yawned, "What kind of treasure is worthy of such an effort?"

"I don't know, this slave." Zisu shook his head and quickly pulled Luo Jiuli's hair, "You will know when you go and take a look."

The sky was gloomy, drizzle was still falling, soaking the stone slabs, and the air was filled with soil carrying the fragrance of grass.

Zi Su held an umbrella for her as she passed through the corridors, her skirts slightly soaked by the rain.

In front of the palace gate, Wei Yan stood guard and said in a rough voice: "The prince has not returned to the palace today, so you can't even think about entering the palace!"

"I have received orders from His Majesty to search the residences of relevant officials. If Commander Wei repeatedly blocks his way, he will be suspected of obstructing official duties. I will kill him first and then report him!" Pei Huai'an is a tall man with a sword hilt in his hand, followed by dozens of menacing men. of the Imperial Guard.

Wei Yan didn't say anything, people were still blocking the door of the mansion.

The meaning is self-evident.

The imperial guards drew their swords collectively, waiting for Pei Huai'an's order.

The two sides were at each other's throats, and they were on the verge of breaking out.

"Since we have His Majesty's command, it is official business. Let them come in!"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind the door.

Wei Yan turned sideways and saw Luo Jiuli walking slowly with Zi Su's support.

He cupped his fists and bowed, "Princess."

"Yeah." Luo Jiuli nodded and entered under the eaves. Zisu followed beside him and put away his umbrella.

"Let them in!" Luo Jiuli stopped next to Wei Yan, "Other ministers' mansions have been searched. Naturally, we in Prince Yi's Mansion can't act alone, otherwise we will gain reputation in vain."

"Yes!" Wei Yan took two steps back to the side without saying a word.

Pei Huai'an ordered his men to put away their swords, clasped their fists and bowed to Luo Jiuli, "I thank you, Princess, for your consideration!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Pei." Luo Jiuli smiled gently and stood aside to let them in.

But when Pei Huai'an passed by, he called out to him, "Master Pei."

Pei Huai'an stopped, looked at Luo Jiuli, and bowed slightly, "What are your orders, Princess?"

Luo Jiuli smiled slightly and was about to say something, but she coughed violently. Zisu hurriedly patted her back before she finally calmed down.

"I am so weak that Master Pei is laughing at me." Luo Jiuli looked weak and said with a smile on his lips: "I just want Master Pei to tell his men to make less noise when they turn. There are many sisters in the backyard. Don't do it." It scared them."

After Luo Jiuli finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing twice, and he vividly acted out his usual sick persona.

Pei Huaian's expression remained unchanged, but he subconsciously moved a step back, further away from Luo Jiu. "The official has taken note of it. Princess, just rest assured."

After speaking, he strode away without waiting for Luo Jiuli's reply.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared from sight that Luo Jiuli glanced at Wei Yan and said, "Go back and talk."

Zisu supported Luo Jiuli and walked back slowly.

Wei Yan followed behind him.

After entering Xiuzhuyuan and no one else was around, Luo Jiuli let go of Zisu's hand and asked Wei Yan, "What's going on?"

"The red flame ice silkworm, the most precious treasure in southern Xinjiang, has been lost. As the main person in charge of receiving foreign envoys this time, the prince enters and exits the inn every day, so the suspicion is serious."

This was also the reason why he kept blocking the door and not letting anyone in.

Although they didn't steal, they were afraid of being framed by someone with intentions.

"If they are really prepared, you alone can't stop them." Luo Jiuli frowned, "Why did the prince enter the palace?"

Judging from the current trend, as soon as Jun Mohan left, people would come to search the house.

The situation is not right!

"His Majesty has spoken and entered the palace by decree." Wei Yan answered truthfully.

"Princess, the Royal Forest Army has arrived at Xiuzhuyuan." Xin Yi's voice sounded outside the door.

The ominous premonition in Luo Jiuli's heart became stronger and stronger. She paced back and forth, and finally stopped in front of Wei Yan, "Is it possible that someone sneaked into Xiuzhuyuan?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Wei Yan replied without hesitation, "The bamboo courtyard is bright and tight, and although there are only two Xuanjia soldiers guarding the door, it is only on the surface. In fact, there are many secret guards behind it. Twelve hours of taking turns watching.”

"The Bamboo Garden is as strong as an iron barrel!" Wei Yan concluded.

"This way, you guys, the rest of you, follow me."

The sound of the Royal Guards searching outside the door could be clearly heard.

"There is no time." Luo Jiuli sat back in his chair, "Act according to the situation. You can find a way to have someone secretly watch their every move while searching Xiuzhuyuan. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately!"

Jun Mohan was away, so she had to hold on no matter what, and she couldn't let this crime fall on him for no reason.

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

"Princess, we are ordered to search!" It was the voice of the Royal Forest Army.

"Come in." Luo Jiuli and Wei Yan looked at each other, and the latter bowed and stepped back, just passing by the imperial guards who came in.

The Royal Forest Army saluted Luo Jiuli and began to spread out to search.

In order to prevent the darkroom, in addition to rummaging through boxes and cabinets, they would also knock here and there.

There were so many people, but the search was completed in just one cup of tea.

"Not here."

"Neither here."

"No."

Seeing that they didn't find anything, Luo Jiuli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Pei Huai'an walked in from the door, followed by a guard.

The imperial guard held a small alchemy furnace in his hand. The lid was hollow, intertwined with silver wire, and inlaid with several rubies and sapphires. It was very delicate.

Pei Huaian stopped a few steps away from Luo Jiuli, "Princess, do you know whose courtyard Jinglan Courtyard belongs to?"
