Marry a traitor

The few who entered the palace first made their selections, and everyone followed slowly.

The concubines are very harmonious, they don't fight or fight over each other, they don't get upset if the one they like is taken away, they still choose the remaining one.

It had not been so lively for a long time. The Queen took a sip of tea and admired the beauty in front of her.

"Queen, why do I feel something is wrong?"

Concubine Xian held the hairpin in her hand, looked left and right, then put it in her hand to weigh it!

She said something was wrong, and the queen looked over and asked in a quiet voice: "What's wrong?"

Concubine Xian is usually a woman who loves beauty, and there are many gold and silver hairpins in the palace, but today she felt something was strange.

It wasn't until she held two identical gold hairpins that she realized something was wrong.

"My dear, there's something wrong with this hairpin!"

The Queen's eyebrows stood up and she stood up.

"What's wrong?"

Concubine Xian put the two hairpins on the Queen's left and right hands and said, "Feel the Queen, are they different in weight?"

The Queen felt it carefully, her left hand was much lighter, and her right hand was heavier, obviously much lighter than the left hand.

"this………."

The queen did not believe in evil, so she took another pair of identical ones and slowly compared them.

No better than not knowing, one is scared.

There is something wrong with these hairpins!

"Come here, bring Wang Wan from Sizhen Bureau to this palace."

Wang Wan is responsible for this matter, and she cannot escape the blame if something goes wrong.

When the Queen's decree came, Shen Yu was about to release the dove. When he saw someone coming, he stroked the soft feathers of the white dove and drove the little thing away.

"The empress has a decree to announce Wang Sizhen's entry into the palace."

Shen Yu remembered that today was the day when Sizhen Bureau was doing hairpin work for the empress.

Could it be that the empress is very satisfied and wants to reward Wang Wan?

"what's up?"

Wang Wan didn't think it was a good thing. She had been restless for the past two days. The queen suddenly summoned her to the palace today. She didn't say anything, but her father-in-law's face looked very serious.

"Lord Si Zhen, please!"

"Eunuch Hai, why did the Queen summon the Prime Minister's wife?"

Now that Shen Yu had asked, Eunuch Hai shook his head and said, "The queen has sent word that there is something wrong with the hairpin. Our family doesn't know the details, so let's talk about it after entering the palace."

Wang Wan and Shen Yu looked at each other in shock, how could something happen to Chai Zi!

Even if he made a mistake, Shen Yu's carriage drove unhurriedly.

Outside the palace gate, Wang Wan followed Eunuch Hai to the Queen's Empress.

"Join the Queen!"

Wang Wan knelt down, and the empress lost her usual enthusiasm and immediately asked: "How did you arrange the craftsmen? Where did the extra money go?"

In the Queen's opinion, Wang Wan must have done anything that happened to Zhu Chai.

"Mother, please let me know what happened."

Wang Wan couldn't afford to suffer such a big crime as soon as she entered the palace.

"Come here, put the hairpin in Wang Sizhen's hand and let her weigh it in person."

A maid placed two hairpins on Wang Wan's hand.

The two hairpins looked exactly the same, but Wang Wan immediately felt the difference in weight between the two hands.

"How is this going!"

Wang Wan's mind went blank. How could Chai Zi be cut off?

"Who are you asking? This is a matter that you handle alone. Now if something happens, you dare to ask me."

The empress covered her chest. The cost of making these hairpins was millions. If something went wrong, the emperor would definitely be angry. After Wang Wan gave the drawings to Sizhen Bureau, she never asked about the matter again. Now that she suddenly said that Zhuchai had been transferred to someone else, she immediately thought of a person.

The second prince.

The suspicious things about the second prince a few days ago finally made some connections today.

But now that there is no evidence, if she rashly says it, the Queen will definitely be furious.

Just when Wang Wan was thinking about how to answer, Shen Yu and the emperor had already walked into the palace.

"Your Majesty, good luck."

The Queen and all the concubines knelt down, including Wang Wan.

"what happened?"

The empress stood up and spoke to the emperor, but the other concubines said nothing.

There were three big boxes on the ground filled with hairpins. When something went wrong, the concubines put the hairpins back and waited for the Queen to investigate.

Shen Yu walked over, picked up the two hairpins, and looked at them carefully. Sure enough, in addition to the difference in weight, the quality of the manufacturing was also different. The pure gold one was more refined and elegant, while the light hairpin looked rough, except for the similar appearance. Other than that, it looks cheap.

"Your Majesty, I have not touched these things. After the people from the Sizhen Bureau brought them in, they asked the sisters to choose. I am interrogating this matter."

Wang Wan knelt down. The emperor was condescending and showed rare majesty: "Wang Wan, what do you think?"

How can Wang Wan see? See with his eyes.

She didn't know who moved the hairpin, but she would definitely find out.

"Your Majesty, you should interrogate the people in Sizhen Bureau before making a decision."

"Come here, call all the people in charge of making hairpins from the Sizhen Bureau. I want to interrogate them personally."

The guards brought Si Zhenju and his party to the front of the palace and knelt before the emperor.

"Lao Li, look at the good things you have done!"

The emperor threw the two fake hairpins on the ground. The hairpins broke into several pieces and rolled in front of Master Li.

He is the master responsible for making bead hairpins and supervises the production of his apprentices.

But he didn't know anything about Zhuchai.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. The small ones are indeed made according to the standards and are not adulterated. The small ones have been made for decades. When has anything happened? Your Majesty, I am wronged."

"Your Majesty, please be aware that the younger one is Master Li's disciple. Master usually strictly requires us not to cut corners, but I really don't know this time. But..."

Master Li's apprentice discovered something strange today, and now he suddenly remembered it.

"But what?" Shen Yu asked.

"However, I discovered today that the group of people who delivered the pearl hairpin in the morning all disappeared and returned to Sizhen Bureau. I don't know why."

"You mean they've all disappeared?"

"Yes." The young apprentice nodded.

As soon as this person spoke, everyone in the room began to guess what was going on.

"Your Majesty, do you think someone has taken away the golden hairpin?" the queen asked.

"It was suddenly robbed. Why didn't you finish the robbery? Why did you use fake Yu to make up for it? What are you trying to do?"

The emperor was so angry that he really didn't know that that bastard was so poor that he dared to do such a thing in the palace.

Shen Yuke and Wang Wan looked at each other at this moment, and thought of someone at the same time.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that something is fishy at this time. If Wei Chen is willing to take charge of this matter, he will definitely be able to give the Emperor a satisfactory answer."

Shen Yu offered to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the emperor agreed.

"I shouldn't have let you do it, because Wang Wan is your relative and should be avoided, but I believe you are a selfless and loyal minister,"
