Silly concubine of the first daughter, the prince is hooked

"Who does it belong to?" The emperor asked quickly after hearing the report from below.

The eunuch Xiao Shunzi, who was in charge of checking the fingerprints, saw that the emperor was in a hurry to ask, so he said without any delay: "One of them is the fingerprint of Concubine Hui, the maid of honor in Liuhua Palace..."

"It turned out to be this lowly maid who stole my jade pendant, come here and bring Xiaohe up to me!" Concubine Hui yelled angrily when she heard about her maid in the palace, she slapped the armrest of the seat.

Then he asked Xiao Shunzi, "Didn't you say there were two fingerprints? Who is the other one?"

"Another...another..."

When Xiao Shunzi heard Concubine Hui's question, she paused for a moment, and looked at Concubine De hesitantly, as if she was a little apprehensive.

Concubine De saw this, Yuan Shan's eyebrows froze, and she shouted at Xiao Shunzi: "What are you doing looking at me? Whose other fingerprint is, answer quickly!"

Seeing Concubine De's anger, Xiao Shunzi fell to his knees with a "plop", sighing in his heart that he was unlucky, a dozen or so eunuchs checked the fingerprint, but he checked the fingerprint by himself and had to come out to report.

Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to look directly at Concubine De's sharp eyes, but hurriedly replied: "The other fingerprint is, yes, it belongs to Chang Chun, the personal maid of the Seventh Princess!"

"What?" Concubine De's complexion changed when she heard the words, she stood up abruptly, her beautiful eyes shot out sharp gazes, she stared at Xiao Shunzi below and asked, "Did you check clearly?"

Xiao Shunzi prostrated on the ground, and replied with a firm voice: "I don't dare to be sloppy. I checked with more than a dozen other people and confirmed that there is no difference before I dare to come forward to repay the emperor and the masters. As long as it is as good as the stars and the moon As the princess said, there is no one with the same fingerprint in the world, then Chang Chun's fingerprint is indeed correct!"

Hearing Xiao Shunzi's words, the emperor saw Concubine De's face was livid, her body trembling, her deep eyes flickered slightly, but no emotion could be seen on her face, she just said in a calm tone: "Li Dequan, take Changchun's palm print and jade pendant together. Bring it up for me to see."

Hearing this, Li Dequan hurriedly answered yes, and then used a tray to present Changchun, Yupei, and the clip used by Murong Yue, and held it in front of the emperor with both hands.

Seeing this, Murong Yue couldn't help giving Li Dequan a high look. To be able to become the chief eunuch next to the emperor is indeed not an ordinary person. With such carefulness, not everyone can do it.

Following Murong Yue's example, the emperor picked up the clip, gently picked up the jade pendant, compared the several fingerprints on it carefully, and confirmed that one of them was exactly the same as Chang Chun's, so he put down the jade pendant. Li Dequan held the tray Backing behind the emperor, his face was calm and unwavering, he didn't even glance at Concubine De from the corner of his eyes, as if he had no distractions.

"I've seen it, and it's undoubtedly Changchun's fingerprint. Concubine De, if no one else has the same fingerprint as what Yue girl said, then this matter is really related to Lan'er!" The emperor said There was also a little bit of embarrassment in the middle, I didn't expect that at the end of the investigation, I would actually find my favorite daughter.

It's just that the previous eunuch had already reported that there was no one with the same fingerprint in the palace, so even if he wanted to deal with it lightly, he couldn't do it lightly. If he really showed favoritism, I'm afraid Xing'er would be hard to explain.

"Your majesty, maybe there is this matter with Lan'er..." Concubine De wanted to say something weakly, but when she saw Murong Yue's pure eyes, she could no longer speak. After all, she is very aware of Bei Chenlan's hostility towards Murong Yue.

If it was really Bei Chenlan who instigated it this time, but alarmed the emperor and these concubines who had long wanted to find her fault, I'm afraid it won't be able to end up according to her wish!

Concubine Li saw Concubine De's embarrassment, she couldn't help smiling coquettishly, and said in a clear voice: "Sister De Concubine, what are you waiting for, since it is found out that it was the seventh princess' personal maid, then I will arrest her The question is, is it possible that my sister wants to be selfish? Hehe, it’s not impossible. Anyway, the seventh princess framed her, but my own cousin, as long as Princess Xingyue doesn’t pursue it, then this palace will treat it as if it didn’t happen. That's right!"

Speaking of this, Concubine Li suddenly woke up and exclaimed in shock: "Oh, I almost forgot that the Seventh Princess stole Concubine Hui's jade pendant, and used the name of Concubine Shu's palace. Forget it, I have to ask the two elder sisters if they agree! I wonder what Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu think?"

Concubine De frowned in anger at Concubine Li's deliberately contrived performance, but she really couldn't refute it. If the matter did not alarm the Emperor, then she could negotiate with Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu, as long as she paid a certain amount of money. It's okay to suppress this matter, but now not only has the emperor been alarmed, but also because of the collection of palm prints, everyone knows about it.

If she pleads for Lan'er again at this time, I'm afraid she will give up her excuses. Instead of solving the matter, she will wipe out all the prestige she has accumulated in the palace for more than ten years.

At that time, I am afraid that the power in charge of the harem will have to be handed over, not to mention, even the emperor will be disappointed in himself because of this!

Concubine Li's words appeared to be for her own sake, but in fact they were extremely vicious.

Concubine De took a deep look at Concubine Li. Could it be that she has really underestimated Concubine Li over the past few years? On the surface, Concubine Li is domineering, irritable and irritable. people.

Concubine Li looked at Concubine De, she just raised her nostrils arrogantly, that proud look, in Concubine De's eyes, she didn't get angry, instead she made a deeper inquiry.

"That's what my sister said, bring Changchun up and ask, since this matter is about Lan'er, let's bring Lan'er too! Now that the emperor is here, I will definitely give a few younger sisters a favor." Confess, how can this palace be selfish, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, Your Majesty, if this is really what Lan Er did, the concubine begs to be guilty of the same crime as Lan Er!" Concubine De said to the people below, then turned her head , Yingying knelt down towards the emperor and said sincerely.

"Concubine De will get up first and talk about it. The matter has not been found out yet, so why did she say that? If Lan'er did it, she is the only one who should be blamed, so why would I be angry at you? Faint person?" The emperor stretched out his hand to help Concubine De, and said in a gentle tone.

Gong Yi listened.He just likes Concubine De's generosity, fairness, and intelligence that ordinary people don't have, so he entrusts her with the power to control the harem.

Even if Lan'er did this, he couldn't offend Concubine De because of it. On the contrary, he was a little worried about Concubine Caili's aggressiveness, and Concubine De's tolerance and self-pleading made him look up at Concubine De .

"Haven't you heard what the emperor said? Hurry up and invite Seventh Princess and Chang Chun over!" Concubine Li felt even more unhappy when she saw the emperor's love for Concubine De, and shouted loudly at the eunuchs waiting below.

However, unlike Concubine De, what Concubine Li ordered at this moment was the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. She hadn't forgotten that when Concubine De's people went to look for the maid Xiao Min, they only heard the news of Xiao Min's death.

So it's better for the emperor's people to handle this matter, who knows if Concubine De will make any small moves because of her daughter.

In this palace, it couldn't be easier to kill a servant silently!

"Yes!" Seeing that Concubine Li was angry, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace hurriedly responded, and hurriedly retreated to look for the seventh princess.

Seeing this, Concubine De's eyes flashed with light, but she didn't say anything, she just sat beside the emperor with a sad face, extremely tender.

Xiao He has already been detained below, but just now Concubine De was talking to the emperor, and the people below did not dare to interrupt, seeing the emperor and others stopped talking, Li Dequan hurriedly lowered his head and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, Then Xiao He has already been taken outside, do you want to interrogate first?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, then said: "Bring her up first!"

"Yes!" Li Dequan took the order, hurriedly waved his hand, and someone brought Xiao He up.

"My servant, Xiaohe, sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live! Your empresses!" Xiao He is a handsome court lady. Judging by her appearance, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has a good voice. The words spoken are soft and soft, which is very comfortable to listen to.

And Concubine Hui left her in the palace to wait on her because of her good voice, but she didn't expect that such a delicate servant girl would become a betrayer!

"Xiao He, where are you at today's end?" Concubine Hui asked coldly. Around noon, she had played with this jade pendant before throwing it into a box for Nanny Zhou to collect. up.

And it was at Shen Shi that the jade pendant was found missing.

Calculated according to the time, if Xiao He wants to attack, he must do so in Weishi.Therefore, Concubine Hui asked directly.

Xiao He's body trembled slightly, and then she returned: "If you go back to your mother, the servant has been waiting in the palace since she was young, and has not gone to other places.".

Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes, and then said to Nanny Zhou: "Nurse Zhou, go and ask, after the end of time, has anyone seen Xiao He in the palace?"

Hearing what Concubine Hui said, Xiao He hurriedly lowered her head and said again: "Your Majesty, servant girl, servant girl felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach at that time, and she was always, always paying respects, so she didn't meet anyone else, so..."

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Hui has such a good temper. After hearing Xiao He's words, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then she said in a deep voice: "You really are a slave. It seems that you are seeing that this palace treats you gently. If you don’t show your eyes today, you will really be bullying me, Mother Zhou, drag this lowly maid down and beat her for [-] slaps before asking questions!”
