Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 129
The palace servants searched one by one, but found nothing. When they found Xia Zijin's side, she opened her arms openly and let the palace servants grope around her for a while.

"Back to Princess Mingzhu, the slaves have finished checking, please forgive me for offending you!" The palace servant stood up and bowed.

"It's okay."

The palace maid was about to return to her life, but Xia Ziqi stopped her with a cry.

"Didn't you see that Princess Mingzhu has a maid in the palace behind her? If you do things so carelessly, if you miss the real thief, then Seventh Sister will be wronged in vain."

Xia Ziqi looked flamboyant, her upturned eyes flicked and flicked over Xiaokui, as if she was looking at a thief.

How could Xiaokui's straight-forward temperament bear Xia Ziqi's pointing and doubting, angrily took a step forward, spread his hands and arms, raised his chin and said, "Just search!"

The palace man nodded at her embarrassingly, and reached out to grope Xiaokui's armpits. When he touched Xiaokui's waist, the palace man felt as if he had touched some lumpy thing, something she was about to touch. When I took it out, I saw it was a ball wrapped in purple silk handkerchief.

"What is this?" The palace man asked.

Xiaokui shook her head, also expressing her ignorance.

Xia Zijin's heart skipped a beat, and she yelled inwardly that she was not good, and was about to step forward to stop the palace servant from lifting the silk handkerchief.

But after all, a beat later, the palace maid picked up the silk handkerchief with her fingertips, revealing a small wooden box inside. Opening the box lid, a dazzling and bright light radiated from the inside. There are eight in total, and what is it if it is not a lost red obsidian.

"Haha, it really is you girl, what did this princess say, this person is evil, and I can't guard against it, I'm sorry that you disturbed our seventh sister's great wedding dress trial day, I really deserve it Doom!"

Xia Ziqi folded her arms and said, seeing Xia Ziyan's ugly face and Xia Zijin's downcast eyes made her feel very relieved.

"No...! Not me!"

Xiaokui waved her hands in a panic, knelt down with a plop and pulled Xia Zijin's clothes and shook her head desperately: "Princess, you trust this servant! This is not the kind of person!"

The others gathered around when they heard the commotion, looked at Xiao Kui who was kneeling on the ground shaking her head in denial, and the red obsidian that was found by the palace guards, and whispered to each other.

Xia Zijin frowned, a little annoyed at her carelessness, Xiaokui's character was naturally trustworthy, and the red obsidian on her body must have been framed by someone.As for the person who planted the blame, Xia Zijin knew without guessing that it was most likely the proud Xia Ziqi in front of him!
As early as Xia Ziqi proposed to search the people in the house, she should have realized... She was too careless.

"Princess... the servant didn't steal..." Seeing that Xia Zijin didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Kui thought that she also doubted herself, her nose was sore and she felt sad, her hands grabbed the corners of her clothes, and her eyes became moist.

"You get up first."

Xia Zijin sighed, helped Xiaokui up, and said in a steady voice: "You have been with this princess these days, no one can know your temperament better than this princess. able to do."

Xia Ziqi hid her handkerchief and smiled, raised her jaw and said, "Do you believe it? Why do you believe it? The red obsidian was found from her body. Can you deny the fact just because you believe it?"

"Or... it was Sister Zijin who stole the beads from Seventh Sister's wedding dress, but you ordered it?"

The more Xia Ziqi talked, the more complacent she became, and she raised an eyebrow at Xia Zijin, as if she was very interested in seeing how she defended herself.

Yue Jing'an and Xia Ziyan looked at this side, everyone had different guesses, Xia Zijin became indifferent after being forced by Xia Ziqi's sentence, she smiled and said: "Fourth sister, it's your fault, first of all, it's just Xiaokui now The things found on her body are not enough to convict her. She stood behind the princess from the beginning to the end. If she took a step closer to Seventh Sister's wedding dress, someone must have seen it? May I ask who saw Xiao Kui taking a step closer to the wedding dress? What about inside?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

"Secondly, there is no basis for empty words. The fourth sister poured dirty water on the younger sister with her mouth. What is An's intention? According to my younger sister, the fourth sister was still upset by the lotus pond a few days ago. Will you be kind enough to complain for Seventh Sister?"

The story of Xia Ziqi and Xia Ziyan's fight on the edge of the lotus pond has also spread throughout the harem. Everyone knows the relationship between the two, and they believe Xia Zijin's words to a certain extent.Xia Ziqi looked a little helpless, but she refused to admit defeat. She laughed, grabbed Xiaokui's arm and twisted it hard.

"Baby maid, you stole it! Your hands are not clean, and your mouth is not clean. What do you think you are, and you are worthy of being here?"

What Xia Ziqi said was obviously scolding Xiaokui, but secretly she was referring to Sang and Huai to humiliate Xia Zijin, which was very obvious to anyone.

Including the honor of just stepping one foot into the house.

"If you are sensible, admit it. Stealing is a serious crime. What's more, you have delayed the auspicious time for Seventh Sister to try on her wedding dress. This is extremely unlucky. Do you know that a lowly maid can afford it?"

Xia Ziqi was still pushing Xiaokui ferociously, and it was the same if she couldn't beat and scold Xia Zijin and used her personal maid to vent her anger.

Xia Ziyan raised his eyes and saw Rong Yu standing at the door of the house, so he couldn't help but yelled.

"My son... why are you here..."

She hasn't finished trying on the wedding dress yet, and she messed up like this again, should Rong Yu be a little disappointed in her?Thinking of Xia Ziyan like this, he felt a little sad, and he didn't dare to look into Rong Yu's eyes when he lowered his head.

Xia Ziqi was cursing happily, when suddenly Xia Ziyan called out to him, he froze his posture, and turned around slowly, only to see Rong Yu in brown clothes, looking at him with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"Why, what's going on here?" Rong Yu only looked at Xia Ziqi for a while and then looked away. When he entered the room, he ran into the woman scolding the palace servant with her teeth and claws. That ugly look really made him a little disgusted.

Yue Jing'an was the most senior and the highest among the crowd, so she was naturally in charge of the overall situation. She ordered someone to show Rong Yu a seat, and told the whole story of what happened just now.

Xia Zijin had already helped Xiaokui behind her to protect her, but when Xia Ziqi saw Rong Yu, she couldn't get angry anymore, she blinked and brushed her temples, and a shyness flashed in her eyes.

In fact, Rong Yu didn't care much about the old-fashioned saying that the auspicious time was destroyed, but Xia Zijin, who was protecting his personal maid with a displeased face, attracted his attention even more.

He rubbed his nose and said: "Since the thing was found from the maid, she should be able to pry off the girdle of the wedding dress so quickly, she should not use her hands, except for red obsidian. Did you find anything else on you?"

The court lady who searched Xiaokui just now shook her head, but Xiaokui couldn't wait to prove her innocence, so she took the initiative to ask the palace maid to search her again.

There were no other objects in the two body searches except red obsidian. Everyone thought about what Rongyu said just now, and they also had some doubts about the fact that Xiaokui was a thief. Indeed, if Xiaokui stole, the crime tool would always be too late to destroy That's right, there's nothing here. Could it be that the red obsidian sewn on the girdle with gold thread and wax can be torn off with bare hands?

Xia Zijin understood Rong Yu's meaning in an instant. When she looked at him, Rong Yu was also looking at her. Although she didn't have a good impression of this son before, it was rare that he didn't throw away the evidence as soon as others saw the evidence. Xia Zijin was a little grateful to him for everything that was determined to be Xiaokui's theft.

And Rong Yu's words inspired Xia Zijin even more. She rolled her eyes and smiled suddenly: "What the prince said is right. According to this princess, you have to use scissors to cut the golden thread no matter what. The stone can't explain anything, it is very likely that some crooked palace man stole the red obsidian and left to fear that something would happen to the east window, so he temporarily stuffed the thing on Xiaokui."

"Scissors……"

The palace man who searched scratched his head, then patted his head suddenly.

"Just now, there seems to be a pair of scissors on the fourth princess's personal maid."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Fei'er. She was timid and guilty, so she lowered her head and hid behind Xia Ziqi with dodgy eyes.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. Just now, the fourth sister kept saying that the princess' maid was stealing. Why is the fourth sister's maid carrying scissors with her?"

Xia Ziqi choked for a moment, facing everyone's questioning eyes, especially Rong Yu's questioning eyes, felt ashamed.

She glared at Xia Zijin and said, "So what if you have scissors? Could it be that the palace rules forbid maids from carrying scissors? Don't blame this princess."

Xia Ziyan was originally unhappy because of the delay in trying on the wedding dress, but now that the two of them were arguing in front of Rong Yu, she felt a sense of dullness in her heart.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to argue anymore, let's leave this matter to be resolved in private, and now it's half past the time to try on the wedding dress, I'm afraid I'll really offend the gods if I don't continue."

Yue Jingan sighed, shrewdness flashed in her eyes, if Xia Ziqi and Xia Zijin's quarrel continued like this, Xia Ziyan would be criticized by the world for getting married again.

Rong Yuzheng had this intention, he knew about it, and he didn't want to see Xia Zijin being humiliated by that shrew Xia Ziqi again, so he said: "Let some embroiderers who are excellent in embroidery work to inlay those red obsidian stones back. Well, this ancient ceremony of trying on the wedding dress is always done."

Everyone had no disagreement, and Xia Ziyan's whole heart was on Rong Yu, so naturally he would not refute.Xia Ziqi looked at Rong Yu without looking at himself, but instead paid more attention to Xia Zijin, holding his breath in his heart, very unhappy.

She looked at Rong Yu's figure seriously. He was extremely handsome and unparalleled in the world.She clenched her hands and swore in her heart that she would definitely get him.
