Fortunate to know Qing peach noodles

Chapter 174 Identifying the Thief
The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, and he was not on the verge of getting angry, but the smile on his face had disappeared, and he asked in a majestic voice, "Lingshu, what do you mean?"

Kang Wang and Concubine Kang who are present here are already pale with fright.

What Kang Wangfu prepared was obviously an incomparably transparent night pearl, how could there be nothing!

"Ah? Uncle Emperor doesn't like it?" Princess Lingshu turned her head to look blankly, and when she saw the empty brocade box, she also looked turbulent and frightened, and exclaimed, "How could it be?! Lingshu Xian The birthday gift for the emperor's uncle is clearly contained here, how could it disappear!"

At this moment, everyone understood that something had happened.

Princess Lingshu immediately retracted her skirt and knelt down, and the palace servants also knelt tremblingly.

Before the emperor had a seizure, Princess Lingshu blamed himself and cried guiltily, and said, "What should I do, I lost the emperor's uncle's birthday gift...it's all my fault, the emperor should punish me, Lingshu There must be no complaints..."

What's the use of punishing her when things are gone.The most urgent task is to find out the whereabouts of the things and see who is behind them.

The emperor ordered people to drag down the palace servants who presented the birthday gifts for careful interrogation. The palace servants shouted that they were wronged. Since the brocade box was handed over to the palace servants, they had not touched it for a moment. There were other palace servants holding birthday gifts waiting to present can testify.

In this way, when the brocade box was handed over to the palace man, it was already empty.

Princess Lingshu cried very sadly, and recalled: "When my mother was with Concubine Hui, I wanted to present my birthday to the emperor's uncle in person, so I begged my mother to ask for this filial piety. I have always been cautious and dare not If there is even the slightest slack, if Uncle Huang doesn't believe it, Concubine Hui and my mother can testify."

Concubine Kang got up quickly, went to the front of the hall to explain what had happened, and Concubine Hui testified that when the things were handed over to Princess Lingshu, they were still in good condition.

The queen said: "Since it was intact when it was handed over to the princess, it means that something went wrong during the time between coming out of Concubine Hui's palace and entering the palace for the banquet. Princess Lingshu, please take this paragraph Let me tell you in detail what happened during the time."

Princess Lingshu choked with tears and recalled: "After coming out of Concubine Hui's palace, Princess Jingyi invited me to go, and I went to the princess's place, but I met a person on the way."

The queen asked in a serious voice, "Who did you meet?"

Everyone was waiting for Princess Lingshu's next words.

I don't know who has the courage to steal the birthday gift prepared by Kang Wang's mansion for the emperor.

It’s fine if the hands and feet of the people in the palace are not clean, but if the family members brought into the palace by these ministers commit crimes, not only will their lives be lost, but the whole family will also be harmed.

Princess Lingshu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then raised her hand and pointed to a place.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the direction pointed by Princess Lingshu.

Isn't that the banquet table where Wei Shangshu is, with Wei Qing and the old lady sitting behind him.

Wei Cishu immediately turned pale, and was about to stand up to clarify, Princess Lingshu said clearly: "The person Lingshu met on the road was Wei Qing, the second daughter of Wei Shang's calligrapher."

Previously, everyone just looked at Wei's dictionaries. Wei Qing was blocked by Wei's dictionaries for most of the scene, and few people paid attention.

But right now, as soon as Princess Lingshu's words came out, the eyes of those present were cast on Wei Qing, and even the Empress Dowager looked in this direction.

Wei Qing's clothes were really not conspicuous among the many ladies from the official family.

She sat in the seat, very quiet.

Only Ji Congxian at the next table could see clearly, she was a little unbelievable, she lowered her head slightly, under the calmness, the corners of her mouth hooked up vaguely.

The eyes from all directions were different, but most of them were full of contempt and watching the show, and they basically believed that she was the one who stole things.

Wei Shangshu and the old lady were so frightened that they dared not move, cold sweat kept coming out of their backs.

Su Yu glanced at Princess Lingshu, with a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes were as warm as the moonlight turning into frost on the steps, but seeing Wei Qing stand up unhurriedly, he was so calm and calm that he didn't feel flustered at all. countermeasures.

Only then did his fingers loosen the cup slightly.

Yin Jing, who was sitting opposite Su Yu, took a sip of tea leisurely, like a tea guest waiting for an excerpt, with a calm expression on his face.

If Wei Qing still can't handle this trick, then it's not Wei Qing.

Wei Qing came out from behind Wei Cishu, and everyone saw her face clearly.

Unexpectedly, the Wei family had such a handsome and beautiful daughter.Those who knew the situation of some daughters of the Wei family began to whisper.

This Wei Qing was originally Miao Lan's daughter, but after the Miao family was convicted, their glory has faded.Miao Lan died of illness, and Wei Cishu remarried. It is heard that she is no longer living the life of a concubine in Wei's house.

Wei Qing showed her face in front of people today. What everyone paid attention to was not that she was the daughter of Wei Cishu, but that she was the daughter of Miao Lan, who was once famous in the capital.

All Wei Qing's movements were slow and orderly. She walked into the hall, then pulled up her skirt and knelt down to the empress.Compared with Princess Lingshu's crying and crying, she is much quieter and calmer.

The queen asked: "Princess Lingshu said that I met you halfway, is it true?"

Wei Qing replied: "Going back to the emperor, empress, my daughter did meet Princess Lingshu on the way."

The queen asked: "The birthday gift from Prince Kang's mansion is missing, but you stole it?"

Wei Qing said: "Dare to ask the princess, how did the princess carry the birthday gift at that time?"

Princess Lingshu said: "It is naturally placed in a brocade box and carried by my maidservant."

Wei Qing smiled, looked sideways at the empty box in the palace man's hand, and said: "Such an eye-catching brocade box, the maidservant of the princess should also be holding it, so I can still steal the birthday gift in the brocade box, yes Isn't it a bit blatant?"

Lingshu County insisted and said: "At that time, I had a few conversations with you. You were curious about the contents of the brocade box and said you wanted to take a look. I couldn't resist your repeated pleas, so I opened it for you to take a look. How could it have been stolen by you!"

Before Wei Qing could speak, Princess Lingshu said to the empress again: "Uncle Emperor, Empress Empress, Lingshu's maidservant can testify!"

Then the two maidservants were summoned in again, and what they said was exactly the same as Princess Lingshu.

The queen looked at Wei Qing coldly and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Princess Jingyi, who was sitting on the side, put on airs and was about to speak, but Wei Qing snatched it away first, and said: "My daughter thinks that since it is a birthday gift presented to the emperor, she must be cautious and cautious. There is no friendship between the two, so I begged repeatedly to let the emperor see this birthday gift first, but the Princess actually agreed?"

Jing Yi looked at Wei Qing firmly, Wei Qing always had a force that made her feel stable and convinced.

Jing Yi secretly took a deep breath, and the jade fingers in her wide sleeves grabbed the corner of her sleeves, not moving rashly for now, and watching the follow-up.
