Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 329 Search Palace 1
"Missing? Please explain clearly what's going on." Chen Wenxin stood up abruptly. She didn't expect to get up too fast, her head was a little congested, her eyes darkened, and she sat down again.

Bai Lu hurried over to help Chen Wen feel better. Seeing that Chen Wen was feeling better, she continued, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. The thing is, when the servants went to deliver things to Xi'er in the morning, they found that Xi'er was not there. Wait a minute." I haven't seen Xi'er come back for a long time, and I asked many people, but they all said they didn't see it."

"What about the guards, have you asked?" Chen Wenxin frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually increased.

At such a time, how could Xi'er disappear suddenly? Could it be that someone discovered her and silenced her?
The more she thought about this question, the more uneasy Chen Wenxin felt. She quickly stood up and helped Bai Lu to go out. When she reached the corner gate where Xi'er lived, she saw that everyone in the palace was watching the corner gate.

Chen Wenxin went over to have a look, and saw that the inside had been rummaged in a mess. It seemed that he wanted to find something, but there was nothing in it, and it seemed that nothing had been taken away, even the half-basket under the bed. The silver charcoal is still fine.

"What's going on, we're still under confinement, there's a thief in our palace, Xi'er!" Chen Wenxin didn't forget that Xi'er was 'driven' out by him, this is not normal Leaving, if it is revealed that Xi'er is not hated by her at this time, it may be bad.

"Going back to my mother, Xi'er disappeared as soon as she got up in the morning. No one knows where this dead girl has gone. The guard said that she never let Miss Xi'er out." Bai Lu followed suit.

Yingge has been guarding Xi'er's room, and she also knows Chen Wenxin's plan, so she went over and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, this servant sees that Xi'er is not a good person in the first place, let's see if he will leave this time, maybe he will leave." It was because I was attacked by a thief here, so I was afraid and left my mother alone, and ran away by myself."

"Hmph, didn't she want to climb high branches, why not now!" Chen Wenxin sneered, she pretended to go in and look around, and then asked people to close the door, saying that she had to investigate carefully.

The ones outside were originally for watching the excitement, but now they can't see the excitement, and they have no interest.

Yingge watched at the door, while Chen Wenxin and Bai Lu walked around carefully inside.This is not a big room, except for a bed and a small table, there is nothing else, Xi'er's clothes are all in the cage, and they have been turned into a mess.

They searched around, but found nothing useful.

"Actually, I always feel that Xi'er was taken away by someone, just those few, but..." Bai Lu looked at the mess, she sighed helplessly, and sat down on the bed.

"Did anyone enter the house when we came? How could it be in such a mess? Could it be that some thief really came in?" Chen Wenxin shook her head as she spoke, even if the guards of Yikun Palace were not very good, but The guards in front of the emperor couldn't have missed some thief.

Looking at the littered things on the floor, she also felt irritated.

Just when she was about to go back and think of a solution, she suddenly rolled her eyes and saw a round fan on the ground, and said strangely: "Why is there a fan here, it's winter."

"Oh, this Xi'er told me that this is her mother's relic. It is usually placed under the pillow." Bai Lu glanced at the fan and picked it up. what.

She hurriedly asked Chen Wenxin to look over it, and saw that there was a shallow imprint on it, and the lower part had been covered by the imprint of the fan. It could only be seen that there were two horizontal lines on it, and it could be seen that someone wrote it on purpose. of.

"What is this, a word? Or some kind of mark? Could it be that Xi'er left behind urgently when she was taken away?" Bai Lu was a little surprised. She didn't know too many characters. After thinking for a long time, she said: " Is it a two?"

"Does Xi'er know how to read?" Chen Wenxin only heard that her family was not well off since she was a child, and she was not well received by her stepmother, so she probably never went to school.

Bai Lu thought for a while and said, "She never went to school, I only heard that when she was a child, a scholar relative came to her home and taught her a few words."

"Hold the words that must not be complicated... Forget it, let's go back first, this place is not easy to talk." Chen Wenxin said, turned and walked out, Bai Lu followed behind, after thinking about it, she still covered the fan with a layer of cloth , took it back.

Chen Wenxin really couldn't think of anything in the traditional Chinese characters that had to be written in two horizontal lines. Could it be that it was not finished, or that it was just scribbled, or... this is not a word, but has a deep meaning?

As soon as she went out, she lowered her head and thought, but she had no idea what was in front of her eyes, suddenly a black shadow blocked her eyes, she raised her head strangely, it turned out to be Xiao Xiazi.

"Why don't you go to work and come here to block the way?" Knowing that she might not belong to him, Chen Wenxin's attitude was not good.

Xiao Xiazi didn't care, saluted, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, my lady, isn't this slave who has something to tell her, that's why she's here waiting for her."

"What can you do? There are thieves in the palace, and you don't know how to keep watch at night." Chen Wenxin didn't like this person. When he was talking, his eyes were always in different places. Turning around, you can see that you are not a stable person.

Xiao Xiazi was used to being ordered around by others, but when he heard Chen Wenxin's words, he didn't feel anything, he just smiled silly: "Miss Qin, if there are thieves, the guards can only guard against them, and it's never their turn. Slave."

"You'd be lazy, tell me something."

"It's like this. I still know something about Sister Xi'er. In fact, when I got up at night yesterday, I saw Sister Xi'er standing at the corner of the wall, talking to someone." Xiao Xiazi huddled The neck said: "The servant is serious, that is a man!"

"Don't talk nonsense, there are no men in this palace except the guards, and the guards can't come in, at most they can only stand in the corridor." Chen Wenxin was very upset, this little Xia Zi actually provoked discord at this time.

It seems that her strategy is really right. This person is not a calm person at first glance. He is so eager to frame Xi'er. It is possible that Xi'er's disappearance has something to do with him.

Chen Wenxin thought silently, without showing it on his face, but looked at him with a distrustful expression.

Sure enough, when Xiao Xiazi saw Chen Wenxin's disbelief, he felt a little anxious, and showed some impatience on his face, but because Chen Wenxin looked at him, he didn't dare to show it too obviously.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. If you are in love with each other, you look at me and I look at you. The two of you will get together, and the emperor will no longer be there. Your Majesty, you are also asleep. Who cares?" Rules." Xiao Xiazi glanced at Xi'er's room with contempt on his face, and then said: "The servant is serious, look, this handkerchief was left by sister Xi'er inadvertently when she was wiping the man's sweat. .”

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiazi took out a handkerchief with five plum blossoms embroidered on it. Chen Wenxin knew that this handkerchief was Xi'er's handkerchief. Xi'er said that the first pattern she learned was plum blossoms, so every handkerchief There are five plum blossoms on it.

"You said it belonged to Xi'er, so that's it? And what do you want to say, if this person is private, then you have to wait for someone to find it." Chen Wenxin paused intentionally, pretending to believe but was afraid of losing face expression.

A smug smile immediately appeared on Xiao Xiazi's face, and he went further: "Mother, this is not the time to lose face, the servant can see it seriously, that is Miss Xi'er, and the troublesome one, who is patrolling the back door the high guard."

Chen Wenxin understood what this guy was trying to do, she sneered, stretched out her hand to snatch the handkerchief, and said: "Little Xiazi, no matter what you said is true or not, you are not allowed to say it anymore. Xi'er is just missing, and she is afraid that the thief will hurt her." , so she ran away!"

"Hey, yes. Madam, although you said you want to preserve the reputation of Sister Xi'er, you can't discriminate between right and wrong." Xiao Xiazi muttered and withdrew.

Although he tried his best to hide it, Chen Wenxin could still tell that his steps were brisk, and he didn't seem to be telling someone who failed.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking to him, this little Xia is so gossip all day long, he doesn't have a single word of truth in his mouth, and this is the same with the maidservants before, just being cheated by him like this, and it made your Majesty feel sad." Yingge came out and saw Chen Wenxin was talking to Xiao Xiazi.

She was going to come over, but Bai Lu stopped her.

That little Xiazi talked for a long time, and she knew that he was not telling the truth from the way she looked at him from afar.

Chen Wenxin sneered: "Although he didn't say a word of the truth, but this person standing here, that's the truth. You go tell the people below, and keep this little Xia Zi dead. If Xi'er disappears, you will definitely get rid of this guy." Nothing to do!"

"Yes, I know." Yingge nodded, and she spat in the direction Xiao Xiazi left.

Bai Lu rushed over and saw that she just shook her head: "That guy must have said something, if you want me to say, let's search his room now, we'll definitely find something."

"No, no matter how stupid that person is, he wouldn't hide him in his own room, and what name we used in the past, Sister Bailu, be careful to scare the snake away." Yingge shook her head while listening.

Chen Wenxin also nodded. Indeed, now that the enemy is in the dark, it is a good opportunity to spy.

And Xiao Xiazi clung to the guards outside for no reason, there must be some articles in it, I can't search it now, if I don't have a title, I can search the palace...

As Chen Wenxin lowered her head, she suddenly saw the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes lit up: "No, we have a name! Look, this is the name, and he sent it over personally!"

Chen Wenxin raised the handkerchief and waved it.

Both Bai Lu and Yingge were puzzled: "What kind of name is this?"

"Stupid, there are maids and guards in this palace who give and receive privately. Do you think this palace should be searched or not?"
