Chapter 61

After listening to Wang Gonggong's explanation, Xia Yue couldn't help but glanced at Huaizhu, and secretly scolded this girl for being too careless, to actually confess to the concubine like this, it really killed people!

The concubine heard what the prince said, and at this moment she took a light look at Huaizhu, which made Huaizhu feel very uneasy.

She knew that she couldn't bring the words out this time, and because she was timid, she must have caused a lot of trouble for the concubine, so she didn't dare to face the concubine's eyes at this time, so she could only He lowered his head and remained silent.

Concubine Toffee has always taken great care of these maids, and is a good master who is considerate to others. If Concubine Toffee really wants to push everything on herself this time, then she will push everything down!
At this time, Huaizhu had already made the decision to take the blame in her heart, but the concubine did not let her bear it alone, she just looked at her for a while and said with a little reproach: "You girl, I just let you do it. It's just a trivial matter, how can the prince be misunderstood?"

"If you do this often, how dare I tell you about things in the future?"

Hearing this, Huaizhu froze for a moment, raised her head and glanced at the concubine, seeing her calm expression, immediately understood what she meant, and hurriedly apologized: "I know I was wrong, please forgive the concubine." This time!"

A moment ago, the concubine said that she had already rested before, and now she admitted that Huai Zhu was indeed allowed to go to work. The sudden reversal of the situation made the prince unable to react in time.

"The concubine said so, did she really send Huaizhu to find the regent?"

"Yes!" The concubine admitted without hesitation, and then explained to him: "When Xia Yue was ordered by my palace to deliver something to the emperor, she happened to meet the regent who was helping the emperor with her homework."

"At that time, the regent seemed to have some urgent business to leave immediately. He left a personal item in a hurry, and it happened to be picked up by Xia Yue, who brought her to this palace."

While speaking, she gave a glance to Xia Yue who was beside her. Xia Yue turned around knowingly and walked back to the bedroom. The prince's eyes followed her for a while, and when she walked in, he took his eyes back.

Not long after, Xia Yue came out from behind, holding an extra jade pendant in her hand, the concubine took it over when she saw it, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is the jade pendant."

"When I saw this jade pendant, I thought about it, and I didn't know if it was an important thing, so I took the opportunity of the regent's banquet in the palace, and asked Huaizhu to say, if he still wants this jade pendant, Just find time to take it back, if you don’t want it, then I won’t keep it forever.”

At this moment, Eunuch Wang also took a look at the jade pendant, and saw that the word Xiao was engraved clearly on the front, which indeed belonged to the Prince Regent, but he didn't know why, he just felt that this matter was not that simple.

It seemed that he still didn't quite believe it. The concubine glanced at the jade pendant in her hand at this time, and said nonchalantly: "My lord, I have already explained the matter clearly, can you let it go?" Are you pregnant?"

Hearing this, Wang Gonggong hurriedly bowed his head and nodded in yes, then raised his hand to signal the two little eunuchs behind him to let go of Huaizhu.

After Huaizhu was liberated, she immediately returned to her master's side.

Turning her head to look at her, the concubine didn't say anything to her, but turned to look at the prince and the guards behind him.

Seeing that they didn't intend to leave, she was silent for a moment and then said: "Now the matter is clear, if the prince has nothing else to do, go back, I have to rest, by the way, this palace stays It's useless, since you're here, I'll leave it to you, and you'll hand it to the regent."

As she said that, she handed the jade pendant in her hand to the prince without any hesitation. In this way, it seemed that there was really no problem.

However, Wang Gonggong is not so easy to dismiss. Although he took the jade pendant, he did not intend to leave here with someone, but said with a flattering smile, "Since the concubine wants to rest, it is naturally inconvenient for the servant to disturb you here. only."

Speaking of the latter, he deliberately paused.

The concubine saw that he didn't seem to want to leave like this, the peaceful expression on her face restrained a little, and her tone sank a little and she asked, "Is there anything else you can do, Mr. Wang?"

As she spoke and looked at the people behind him, she said again: "Grandpa Wang, you brought so many people to my Lingxuan Palace. You have committed a big taboo, but I think you are kind enough to send Huaizhu back, so I don't care about you."

"But now that the person is back, you are still unwilling to leave. What does that mean? Do you think there is no one here in this palace, and you slaves can mess around?"

At the end, her tone became a bit more serious, with a bit of anger. When Wang Gonggong heard her words, his expression was suddenly startled, and then he immediately showed a look of panic.

"Calm down, the concubine, the slave has absolutely no intention of disrespect, it's just that the white wolf brought into the palace by the regent was lost, and the slave is under orders to look for it!"

As he said that, he took a peek at the face of the person in front of him, and seeing her expressionless, he continued: "For the safety of the masters, every corner of the palace must not be spared. Since this servant has come to the concubine Here, for the sake of your safety, Empress Dowager, naturally you can't just leave like this."

Wen Qian, who had been hiding in the bedroom at this time, saw that they had not come back for a long time after they went out. Although she heard faint voices from outside, she couldn't hear what they said clearly, and felt a little uneasy for a while.

The prince looked bitter and mean, and he knew at a glance that he was not someone easy to deal with. The concubine had been out for so long and hadn't sent them away. The prince must have become suspicious.

Thinking of this, Wen Qian felt that this place was not very safe anymore, and she could no longer stay here. After some careful consideration, she finally walked out from behind the screen.

After coming out, she thought that she couldn't go out through the main door, so she looked for another exit in the house, and finally saw an open window, and she ran out through that window.

At this time, Wang Gonggong was talking to the concubine outside, and he would never know that something had escaped from the bedroom, and other people's attention was also outside, so Wen Qian finally left Lingxuan Palace smoothly.

"So, you want people to search this palace?"

The concubine looked at the prince who seemed to be very respectful to her in front of her, and her tone of voice could not be heard, but the latter still lowered his head when he heard the words, and replied respectfully: "The servant is also thinking about your safety, the concubine. "

Seeing this, Xia Yue couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward boldly and said, "Grandpa Wang, the guards have come to search just now, and they didn't find any white wolves, so you don't need to search any more now, right? "

"Xia Yue, what are you talking about? Is it possible to guarantee that the white wolf will not sneak in again after searching? As the concubine's personal maid, how can you be so careless about the concubine's safety!"

As soon as Xia Yue finished speaking, Wang Gonggong immediately reprimanded her. Looking at his attitude, he knew that if he didn't search here today, he would never give up.

"The safety of the concubine is of course the most important thing for us servants, but we are afraid that some people will act recklessly here just because they want the master's safety!"

There was a stab in Xia Yue's words, as soon as Wang Gonggong heard that she was scolding him secretly, he couldn't bear the tone in his heart, so he raised his eyes to look at her, and when he was about to say something, the concubine spoke.

"Wang Gonggong!" She first called Wang Gonggong heavily, and then continued: "I know, Wang Gonggong, you are a popular person next to the empress dowager, so naturally you don't think of me as the empress dowager in your heart." .”

"The slave dare not."

The prince suddenly said something in fear, but before he finished speaking, he heard the person in front of him say again: "But I also want to remind you that I am still the imperial concubine, and she is your master on the surface. Sometimes, you don't have to go too far."

"The concubine's words are serious, and the servant is also kind-hearted for the concubine's good."

"Is it for the good of me? Besides, since you have to search here today, I won't stop you, but the ugly words come first. If you can't find a reason for it later, I won't let you go." you!"

As soon as the concubine said this, the prince who was still very firm suddenly hesitated.

"This"

Seeing that his expression became a little dignified, the concubine raised the corners of her mouth without showing any trace, and immediately signaled Xia Yue to get out of the way, and then said to him: "Eunuch Wang, don't you want to search? Search quickly!"

"You guys go in and search carefully, don't let go of every corner, absolutely don't give the white wolf a chance to hide!"

Although I was a little worried when I heard the concubine's words just now, I couldn't guarantee that it wasn't her scheme, so the prince finally ordered someone to search, thinking that if he really found something, the concubine would have nothing to do with him.

Seeing them running in to search one by one, Xia Yue was very worried. Others didn't know, but she knew very well that the white wolf was hiding behind the screen in the princess' bedroom!

If this was found out by them, wouldn't the concubine be caught?

A servant girl is still a servant girl after all, she is too timid to handle any big things, the concubine is different, even though she saw these people enter her bedroom to search, she still didn't change her expression.

Even if the white wolf is really hiding here with her, she can't show her position first at this time, because she knows that if she loses confidence and becomes more nervous, the prince will become more suspicious!
"Report to Eunuch, searched everywhere, but found nothing."

A quarter of an hour passed, and the guards searched the entire Lingxuan Palace inside and out, down to every corner, but they found nothing!

Hearing the reports of the guards coming out one after another, the prince's face suddenly darkened.

Could it be that he really thought wrong?
