After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

Chapter 59: I am a thief and shouting to catch the thief

Li Xinru couldn't come today because she was lying at home due to the cold, but the birthday gift was delivered early in the morning. However, she is not the only unmarried and unengaged woman who has not arrived today, so not everyone will guess her.

But here, seeing that they didn't speak, Shi Yuelan simply walked forward and reached out to touch the box.

"Ouch!" Shi Yuelan shouted, and everyone heard the sound and ran away, only to see that the place where the thousand-year-old clam beads had been placed had now turned into a pile of white powder.

Shi Yuelan quickly explained, "I didn't use any force. I just touched it lightly. How could I have known that it would become like this?"

The emperor's expression suddenly changed. If he was deceived into using ordinary beads to pass off as thousand-year-old clam beads, he would have passed. But now, this bead is actually fake.

Mu Xinghe said slowly, "That's not the bead I gave you."

"Who gave it to you? Aunt Lin, did you get the wrong box?"

Nanny Lin shook her head and denied, "It's impossible. The box in Yongyi Hou's Mansion is different from other boxes, and each one is registered. This is definitely the box given to me by the Lord of Xinghe County."

"That's it!" Shi Yuelan looked at Mu Xinghe, unable to stop the malice in her eyes. She smiled happily, "Xinghe County Master, this box is yours. You said that the beads were not given by you. That's Were you dumped on the road?"

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately retorted, "Impossible. The birthday gift given to the eldest princess is not carefully checked. Even one second before sending it out, one has to check whether it was prepared by oneself. How could it be sent out before Have you been dumped before?"

"Then it's possible that it was given away without careful inspection. This can't be the case of Nanny Lin stealing the beads and replacing them."

"That's not right. The place where the gifts are placed is all open. No one has come near the box since it was placed there. How could it be changed afterward? There must have been a problem before it was sent."

The eldest princess looked at Mu Xinghe worriedly, "Xing'er, after you got this bead, did you check it carefully?"

If what Mu Xinghe gave was really a thousand-year-old clam bead, it would be a priceless treasure. As long as it was confirmed that it had been swapped, it would definitely be recovered.

Mu Xinghe nodded, "Of course I checked it carefully."

Neither the Queen Mother nor the eldest princess thought that Mu Xinghe was deliberately embarrassing her, so there must be some hidden secret, "How could that be?"

As for Nanny Lin exchanging this item, the box was placed there immediately after she received it, with someone taking care of it, and in public, so how could she possibly exchange it?

"Ah! Is this a picture of a flying peacock? This embroiderer can say it's a picture of a pheasant running around."

At this time, Shi Yuelan also opened the box containing the picture of the flying peacock and took out the embroidery inside. On it, he saw a lifelike pheasant lifting its legs, as if it was about to fly to the sycamore tree.

The embroidery work is very good, but the meaning is...hard to describe in one word!

The emperor is a dragon, the queen is a phoenix, and the peacock is the descendant of the phoenix. It is okay to give the princess a peacock. After all, except for the princess, no one else is allowed to use embroidery with peacocks.

But this pheasant...

Hearing this in the morning, even if a pheasant flies onto a branch, it cannot become a phoenix. Therefore, the meaning of "pheasant" in the Ming Dynasty is a low-level person, a prostitute who has children, or a shady outsider.

The eldest princess is the direct daughter of the late emperor and the empress dowager. She is the most noble woman besides the empress dowager, not even comparable to the empress. Such a person is compared to a pheasant? Isn't this an insult?

Lin Feishuang's face immediately turned pale, and her body swayed a little, "How could it be? I obviously embroidered a peacock? This is not my embroidery, not mine."

This embroidery was taken from Lin Feishang. This embroidery is no better than beads. If Mu Xinghe sends the wrong beads, at most he will lose his face and his reputation.

But sending the pheasant picture was an insult to the royal family, and the crime was extraordinary.

Everyone looked at Lin Feishang and shook their heads. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mu Xinghe and Lin Feishang were innocent, not to mention that they did not have any deep grudge against the eldest princess.

Even if they do, just like Menghua, they will only send things that others can't find fault with. How could this piece of embroidery that was so obviously insulting to the royal family be so stupid as to show it to the public?

However, this thing was taken over by Lin Feishang. If there is no evidence to prove it, then only Yongyi Houfu will bear the blame today.

Mu Xinghe patted his mother's hand and shook his head slightly, "Mom, don't worry."

"Is Yongyi Houfu going to heaven? He compared the Queen Mother's biological daughter to a pheasant, what kind of crime should he do!!" Menghua stood up and looked at Lin Feishang and Mu Xinghe with burning eyes, "Why don't you kneel down and plead guilty? !”

Mrs. Tang frowned slightly, "This has not yet been decided, how can we plead guilty? Besides, Shuangshuang is not that kind of person at all. This piece of embroidery must have been swapped."

Mrs. Tang's body collapsed because of Tang Hongyu's incident. If Lin Feishang hadn't sent the news and told her that Tang Hongyu was not in danger, she might not even be able to get out of bed now.

Besides, the eldest princess handed over the post early in the morning, so she had no choice but to come with her.

Shi Yuelan sneered and said: "Mu Xinghe said before that he had carefully inspected it, sent it to the princess's house, and then handed it over to Nanny Lin. How can we change it in this public? I think it's just you who are shouting to catch the thief. "

Mu Xinghe ignored it, but looked at the emperor calmly, "Your Majesty, this piece of embroidery was not embroidered by my mother, and that fake bead was not made by me."

Lin Feishang was held by Mu Xinghe and regained her backbone. Then she bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everyone's embroidery is different. This is not my embroidery. I sincerely ask your Majesty to give me justice." .”

The emperor glanced at Menghua, who had a proud smile on her lips. He knew very well who arranged today's drama, and he was happy to see it come to fruition. After all, he had doubted the loyalty of Yongyi Houfu during this period.

He nodded and said, "Check."

Then, Lin Feishang took out the square handkerchief she had embroidered, and then invited the embroiderer to compare it one by one with the pheasant embroidery pattern.

Mu Xinghe said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I want to check this box."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Go."

The Queen Mother knew very well that this matter must have been framed by Menghua. The fake beads ruined Mu Xinghe's reputation, and the pheasant embroidery picture could directly convict the Yongyi Hou Mansion.

As long as today's matter is settled, not only Mu Xinghe, but the entire Yongyi Marquis Mansion will become the laughing stock of the entire capital. No, at that time, it will no longer be the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.

Not only will their faces be tarnished, but the people they are friends with will also be implicated.

Therefore, except for Mrs. Tang, no one present helped to speak.
