Chapter 344: Nightmare Smoke
Huangfu Yuer obviously also noticed this phenomenon.

He immediately became angry and thought that Chun Xing was the one who stole the Bixia feather robe and the dagger.

Only if you receive favors from someone can you wear an expensive bracelet!

"Princess, Lord Governor, General Ye, please understand. I really didn't steal anything. This bracelet was also given to me by someone else. Chunyan can testify for me."

Chunyan and Chunxing are the best sisters.

But all the masters were angry, so she just nodded and didn't give any other explanation.

In fact, she knew very well that the bracelet was given to her by Chun Xing's lover, and she did not buy it herself after receiving bribes from the murderer.

On second thought, who is Chun Xing's lover?
It was indeed unknown whether the lover was the murderer, but he kowtowed immediately.

"Princess, please understand. We would never dare to do something like killing someone. Moreover, we have served you for so many years, from the palace to the Yuan Mansion. You know our character best. If our character was not good, we would not have come to serve you."

Huangfu Yuer didn't believe it at all, as if the murderer was already obvious.

It seemed that they were about to drag the man away and torture him.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty were strict. Even royal family members could not be tortured into confessing without any evidence.

Xiao Qi waved his hand and just stood there, and no one dared to come forward.

His sharp eyes swept across and stared at Chun Xing's wrist.

"I ask you a question. Where did this jade bracelet come from?"

Chun Xing, however, hesitated, as if she really had something to say.

This has to make people suspicious.

"If you are my lover, I can guarantee your innocence."

"Yes, Lord Governor. This was bought by my lover. I thought that I would find a husband of my dreams when I got older, so I was quite interested in this lover. But who would have thought that he would use this bracelet as a token of love and then disappear. I felt that I was fooled, but I dared not say anything for fear of being punished by the princess."

"When was it delivered? Recently?" Ye Xiaoer asked.

Logically speaking, the lover was suspicious. He deliberately approached the princess's personal maid, perhaps just for the feather robe and the dagger.

"He gave it to me a while ago, but he disappeared recently. I was so angry that I didn't treat it as a token of love and hide it carefully. I just put it on. I am happy for a while." Chun Xing told everything.

"Can you tell me in detail what happened when the clothes were lost?" Ye Xiao'er asked. "The princess brought a lot of things to the palace, and the Bixia Feathered Clothes was packed in an expensive box. We, the maids and the housekeeper, all knew about it. The box was locked, and there was a bunch of keys kept by the housekeeper. But we also have our own keys, and if the princess needs it urgently, we can just open the lock and take it."

"That day, the sky was very dark. The princess had a nightmare that the Bixia Feathered Robe had disappeared. So she woke up in the middle of the night and asked me to check. But sure enough, when I opened the box, the dress was indeed gone! I was horrified and started shouting. The maid on duty was as panicked as I was. We searched for it ourselves first. Unfortunately, such a big dress was not found. Later, the princess and the housekeeper came over. Even the princess joined us in the search for the dress, but we searched all the boxes and all the corners, as well as the princess' bedroom, but couldn't find it."

Ye Xiao'er understood. It seemed that the Bixia Feathered Robe was definitely taken away by someone close to the princess without anyone noticing.

"So you went in alone, and no one else, right?"

"Yes, when we get things for the princess, we always go alone, because there has never been any theft around the princess, and we are the elderly around the princess, so basically we don't need to be strictly guarded."

Xiao Qi asked again: "What clothes were you wearing at that time?"

Because when the Dongchang guards searched carefully, they found a black line in a very sensitive place. The line was of relatively thick material and black in color.

There shouldn't be such a thread in the palace, so it was determined that it was probably left by the murderer.

Chun Xing said truthfully: "Because it was very cold at night and it was already autumn, I put on a cloak. As for my shoes, I didn't put them on completely, I went there in slippers."

Later, the maids who were on night watch were brought in one after another.

They can all testify that Chun Xing discovered that her clothes were missing after she entered, and such a large piece of clothing certainly could not be hidden as easily as a hairpin.

They searched the warehouse inside and out, dug up every rat hole, and even searched everyone's body, but still couldn't find it.

"Why did the princess have that dream? Was it because someone had said before that the Bixia Feathered Robe would be lost?"

Ye Xiaoer knew that psychological suggestion was actually very scary.

A person's dream does not occur for no reason. It must be a kind of anxiety in the heart, which forms an impression in the mind over time.

For example, this person dreams that he is fighting with others.

This means that this person is actually under a lot of pressure in daily life and is venting it in his dreams.

For example, if this person dreams of many beautiful things, such as big rivers, some fish and birds, this means that he will face some new opportunities and challenges.

Regardless of whether these opportunities and challenges can succeed, his subconscious mind has already told himself that he will succeed, so he will do these wonderful things.

For example, if someone kept whispering in the princess's ear that her Bixia feathered robe would be stolen, then it would be very easy for the princess to have this kind of dream.

Huangfu Yuer finally began to think seriously.
