Chapter 540 Stealing, Gongyi is a thief!
It was almost noon, and in the largest banquet hall in the garden, beautiful girls in bright clothes were busy coming in and out, bringing plates of delicious food and bottles of fine wine in a steady stream.There are jars of ice cubes in the corner of the hall, which are steaming slightly.

The sun was rising in the sky, and the guests visiting the garden couldn't help the heat. When they came to the banquet hall in advance, they felt a burst of cool air as soon as they entered the door. comfortable.

Ice is scarce in summer. Although each family has its own ice cellar, there will be no shortage of ice, but it is not enough to empty out the ice cellar if it is as generous as the Yin family. .

After Emperor Hongguang entered the hall, they all praised the well-organized banquet of the Yin family, and said that this trip was worthwhile. Not only Prime Minister Yin was smiling, but Concubine Yin was also very happy.

After Emperor Hongguang moved the chopsticks first, everyone picked up the chopsticks and tasted the delicacies and wines in front of them. The sound of melodious music was slowly flowing in the hall.

Just when the atmosphere was lively, Caiyi walked in from outside with a face of panic, came behind Yin Qingyi, and said in a moderate voice: "Miss, it's not good! The things that the imperial concubine empress gave to the young lady are gone!"

Yin Qingyi's complexion changed, and he lost his voice: "What did you say?!"

"Miss, the imperial concubine's belongings have been stolen!" Caiyi looked like she was about to cry, "It's all the fault of the servant, the servant didn't take care of things, what should I do now!"

The people around heard the conversation between the master and the servant, and Baili Feifei said in amazement: "How could this happen? Caiyi, did you put things somewhere else and forget about it?"

"That's right," Tantai Yarong said with a frown, "It's not a trivial matter for the imperial concubine's things to be stolen, but don't make a mistake, it will be bad if it becomes a big problem."

All the guests who came today were distinguished guests, and the emperor was present, if there was any scandal of theft, not only would the host family's face be ugly, but the guests would also lose face.

"How important is the imperial concubine's stuff, how could this slave not remember where to put it," Caiyi said in a teary voice, "The slave has searched all over the place, but he couldn't find it. If it's something else, it's okay, it's the imperial concubine's item." I left it to the young lady for safekeeping, but now it was stolen, how should I explain it to the imperial concubine!"

Seeing Caiyi's insistence that the things were stolen, the others looked a little unhappy, saying that things were stolen, didn't they just suspect them, the guests!But since it belongs to Concubine Yin, it is really difficult to find it missing. It is a difficult problem whether to find it or not. For a while, everyone didn't know what to do.

Yin Qingyi struggled for a moment, and said: "Forget it, don't spread the word about it, I'll go to the imperial concubine to plead guilty, if the empress is punished, I will bear it all!"

For everyone, this is of course the best, but Yin Qingyi will be wronged.

Baili Feifei said: "Sister Qingyi, don't worry, let's look again, maybe you can find it."

Tantai Yarong thought for a while, and said: "I wonder what the imperial concubine asked Sister Qingyi to keep? If you really can't find it, can you send someone to buy a copy, and then give it to the empress, and the empress may not Blame it."

"I don't know what it is, I just know it's medicinal materials, and my mother asked me to hand it over to my grandfather for health care," Yin Qingyi said, "The box containing the medicinal materials is very special, and it can't be opened by ordinary methods, so the things inside must be very valuable! "

"Since the things are very valuable, Ms. Yin should tell the truth," said a lady, "That thief dared to steal from the Yin's house, it was really reckless, and if Ms. Yin calmed down, it would be too cheap for that little thief! Finding out that little thief, wouldn't everyone be suspicious, I don't want to be blamed for others!"

The others also thought about it, if they keep it secret, everyone will be more or less suspicious, which is not what they want.

A few of them gathered together and muttered, and all of them looked serious, which attracted the attention of others, especially Concubine Yin, who knew it well, but said strangely on her face: "Qingyi, what are you talking about?" What? Why are everyone's faces so ugly?"

The people in the hall immediately looked at them. Yingchu was not seated with them, and had already noticed the changes here. When Yin Qingyi glanced towards her in a casual manner, she immediately had a premonition , The secret path really came!

When Concubine Yin found out, they were all startled, and then all of them cast their eyes on Yin Qingyi.

Prime Minister Yin looked at the uneasy Yin Qingyi, frowned and asked, "Qingyi, what's going on?"

Yin Qingyi's expression became even more disturbed. She walked to the middle and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Your concubine, my daughter deserves to die for her crimes. I don't know who stole the medicinal materials entrusted to my daughter by the empress. My daughter is responsible for her entrustment." , please punish me!"

"Stole it?" Concubine Yin Gui was surprised, "I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"It's all my daughter's fault, the medicinal materials were really stolen!" Yin Qingyi said guiltily.

All the guests were in an uproar, and all the guests who came to the banquet were distinguished guests from extraordinary backgrounds. A thief appeared out of nowhere and stole Concubine Yin's belongings. This is too unbelievable!

Concubine Yin's face darkened, and she said: "Please explain carefully, what is going on! No one else knows what this palace gave you, so how could it be stolen by thieves?"

Yin Qingyi bit her lips and said, "After much deliberation, my daughter, there is only one possibility. My daughter saw that the box containing the medicinal materials was very special and she couldn't open it no matter what, so she told the maid beside her that the things inside must be very precious. Maybe it’s not worse than meat ganoderma. We were walking on the road at that time, and someone who passed by might have heard it and became suspicious. After the court lady took the box back to the room, she locked it in the cabinet. I don’t know when It was stolen!"

Caiyi, who was kneeling behind her, also said: "Imperial concubine, it must be as the young lady said! Those medicinal materials were given by the lady to the prime minister. Everyone knows that the imperial concubine gave the meat ganoderma to the prime minister. The thief said Maybe I just thought that these herbs are as precious as Ganoderma lucidum, so I became greedy!"

When Yingchu heard Yin Qingyi say things were stolen, and saw their master and servant keep mentioning the Ganoderma lucidum, Yingchu already understood Yin Qingyi's purpose.Her eyes were cold, and she couldn't figure out why Yin Qingyi invited her into the room on purpose, so she was waiting here!

A sneer flashed across Yin Guifei's eyes, and she said: "You girl, let me tell you what's good about you! How can you say something coveted casually? The box is only filled with ginseng and ganoderma. What's the matter?" If there is meat Ganoderma lucidum, I would have given it to Gongyi long ago!"

They sang together in such a tacit understanding, and with a few words, they pointed the finger at Yingchu. Whoever is not a human being present here immediately understood who they suspected.

Princess Rongtang immediately got excited, and said loudly: "Your Majesty knows that there is no meat ganoderma in it, but others don't. Yin Qingyi's unintentional words may be heard by someone who cares. The imperial concubine once said that the meat ganoderma was used up, but some I'm afraid that some people don't believe it at all, and are still making up their minds secretly, so this time they took the risk and stole the things!"

When Princess Rongtang spoke, she squinted at Yingchu, almost pointing at her nose and calling her a thief.

Yan Nuo's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "There are so many people attending the banquet today, and there are also maids and servants from various prefectures. There are too many people and hands. There are too many possibilities! How can you doubt it based on Miss Yin's words? Others stole because of the Ganoderma lucidum? This king wants the Ganoderma lucidum very much, so is this king a thief?!"

He deliberately brought things to himself, not wanting everyone's thinking to follow them.

Princess Rongtang choked for a moment, she forgot about it just now, "Of course His Royal Highness King Qin cannot be a thief, His Highness is not the only one who wants the meat Ganoderma lucidum, maybe that person just wants to get the meat Ganoderma to please His Highness !"

The Ninth Prince said: "There is a saying that the Princess Chang said is true. There is more than one person who wants the meat Ganoderma lucidum, and this prince also wants it very much. I believe no one doesn't want this kind of good thing. It can't be just because of this. Do you suspect that others are thieves?"

"That's right, this suspicion is very unreasonable," the third prince also said, "Based on this alone, there are too many suspects. Is it possible to torture everyone?"

The two princes spoke, and many people immediately agreed.

Princess Rongtang became anxious immediately, and said: "But there are no other clues now, only Gongyi is the most suspected suspect! Why don't you just check her, if it is not, I will apologize to her at worst, if it is really her , It also saves everyone from searching without a clue, and she moved the things away after a long delay, and she couldn't find it even if she tried to find it!"

"Just because of your one-sided suspicion, you want to investigate a Weng Lord?" Qin Wang sneered, "The Chang Princess is too light, so what if you apologize afterwards? It doesn't hurt you, but you want to Suffer this kind of insult! You can investigate if you want, I suspect that the thief is from your Qi Guan's family, first search all Qi Guan's family, if I can't find it, I will apologize to you, what does the princess think?"

"You!" Of course Princess Rong Tang didn't want to, "You are messing around!"

"It turns out that you also know that this request is nonsense," King Qin sarcastically said, "Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. Before speaking, Princess Chang, please think carefully before speaking!"

There were faint laughing sounds from all around, and Princess Rongtang's face was livid in anger.

Yin Qingyi's eyes flickered, and she winked at Caiyi, Caiyi understood, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is right, how could Weng Master Qianji be a thief, the Lord was chatting with Miss in the room not long ago , What you said is speculative, I will never steal the things in the lady's room, and put the lady in danger!"

King Qin's cold eyes shot at Caiyi immediately, and then stared at Yin Qingyi coldly. Yin Qingyi didn't dare to look at him, and reprimanded Caiyi: "You girl, who told you to say this! Shut up!"
