A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!
Chapter 436 The Night Pearl is Stolen
After Xiao Kangzi went to other rooms to look for cloth, Yingcan was left alone here.
Yingcan stood there bored, waiting for the eunuch Xiaokangzi to come back. At this time, she heard Xiaokangzi calling her.
"Ms. Yingcan! Come in and take a look. Is there any fabric you like?"
After hearing this, Yingcan walked straight in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw colorful fabrics and various styles of silks and satins.
"Take a look, which ones do you like?" Xiao Kangzi asked with a smile.
Yingcan took a few pieces of cloth and stroked them gently in his hands, feeling the touch of each piece of cloth. It was smooth and delicate, and should be very suitable for making a patchwork quilt!
Finally, they decided, "Let's just use this type of fabric and find some more patterns."
Xiao Kangzi said, "Oh, okay!"
When Xiao Kangzi was packing cloth for Yingcan, he heard someone coming outside.
A maid outside said, "Why is there no one here? Where did everyone go? Do you still have the ice-making tools?"
Xiao Kangzi quickly responded, "Here it comes, here it comes, and there's more!"
After saying that, he was about to go out. He looked back and saw Yingcan was still there, so he said to Yingcan, "Miss Yingcan, please wait a moment. I'll get it for her and it will be ready soon. I'll come back and slowly cut and pack it for you."
Yingcan nodded, "Then you go first."
When Xiao Kangzi came back, he looked a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
"Miss Yingcan, please go sit over there. You need a lot of fabric, so I have to prepare it carefully for you." Xiao Kangzi said with his head down.
"It's okay, I'll just stand there for a while." Yingcan answered casually.
Xiao Kangzi said embarrassedly, "It's because you are standing here...you are blocking the light a little. I'm afraid it will be damaged again and affect the use of Jingyang Palace. That would be bad!"
Yingcan looked at his seat and laughed, "Hahaha, I'd better go sit aside for a while. When you're done cutting and packing, just let me know."
Xiao Kangzi said, "Hey."
Yingcan found a bench and sat aside, talking to Xiaokangzi intentionally or unintentionally.
"How long have you been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? You seem to be able to do everything. You can lift heavy objects and do delicate work like women do."
Xiao Kangzi said as he was cutting cloth, "I have been in the palace for several years. As slaves, we have to learn everything. We have to learn how to do everything, whether it is light work or heavy work."
Yingcan sighed and said, "Oh! That's true!"
Xiao Kangzi asked, "Miss Yingcan, why do I hear you sighing? Aren't you doing a good job in Jingyang Palace? Concubine Yu has just made contributions to the country and is favored by the emperor."
Yingcan pretended to be mysterious and said, "Only outsiders know the beauty, but only you understand the sadness~"
Xiao Kangzi didn't expect that Yingcan, a maidservant of the favorite concubine, would also have troubles. After she finished talking, she cut and packed the clothes for her.
"I've packed them all for you, just be careful with them!"
Yingcan nodded and took the things from Xiaokangzi.
As soon as she went out, Yingcan felt something was wrong. The atmosphere in the Imperial Household Department was particularly cold and deserted today. Xiaokangzi also became strange after he went out. What made Yingcan realize that something was wrong was that these days, she always felt that someone was following her!
Yingcan casually reached out his hand, wanting to see if there was anything inside, and sure enough, he touched something hard! This pile of cloth was full of hard objects, and the hard objects inside must be used to frame him.
But who exactly wants to harm me?
Yingcan had no choice but to return to the palace, intending to expose the person behind the scenes!
After returning to Jingyang Palace, Yingcan emptied the cloth inside to see what was inside. As a result, a bead rolled out...
Yingcan squatted on the ground, picked it up and held it in his hand.
"Could it be... this is the Night-Shining Pearl that you mentioned just now? That Xiao Kangzi stole the Night-Shining Pearl and stuffed it into the cloth I brought back. He must have wanted to accuse me of being a thief!"
This thing glows, so it definitely cannot be hidden. Yingcan found some straw paper and wrapped the night pearl up, but found that it was still somewhat translucent, so he found some cloth strips and wrapped it in several layers. Now it could no longer be seen at all.
But where to put this thing first?
Yingcan looked at her room. Someone wanted to frame her and would definitely search her room carefully, so Yingcan pushed open the door of Haitang's room holding the cloth.
The pot of gardenia on the table immediately attracted Yingcan's attention. After putting down the cloth, Yingcan dug up the soil, stuffed the night pearl into it, and then covered it with soil again.
After doing all this, Yingcan came out with the flower pot and placed it under the sun.
A palace maid passing by saw this and asked, "Sister Yingcan, what are you doing?"
Yingcan smiled and said, "I went to the Begonia room to deliver some fabric and saw this pot of flowers was wilting, so I took it out to get some sun!"
The maid nodded, "So that's how it is."
Before the two of them finished their conversation, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came to Jingyang Palace.
Xiao Zhongzi was the steward of Jingyang Palace, and he immediately went over to see what had happened.
"My Lords, what brings you to Jingyang Palace? My queen and the little prince and princess are all resting, so I'm afraid it would be inconvenient to disturb them."
The leading guard said, "We are also acting on orders. We received an order saying that the night-shining pearls that Xiliang Kingdom had just paid tribute to us are missing, and we are here to search for them."
Xiao Zhongzi asked in confusion, "Night Pearl? No one in our Jingyang Palace has ever seen it! Why would they come to our Jingyang Palace to look for it?"
The guard said, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean others haven't seen it. Today, a maid in your palace went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I want to ask her if she has seen it."
Xiao Zhongzi turned around and asked, "Who of you went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs today?"
The maids replied, "Sister Yingcan went to the Imperial Household Department and brought back some cloth."
After hearing this, the guard immediately said, "Send the one called Yingcan over."
When Xiao Zhongzi heard that it was about Yingcan, he couldn't help but sweat and asked someone to go find Yingcan.
When Yingcan came over, he said with an innocent look that he had never seen it before.
The guard with a cold face said, "You said you haven't seen it, but I don't know if you brought it back unintentionally."
Yingcan explained, "The only thing I brought back was cloth, which was used to make quilts for the little prince and princess. I didn't bring anything else with me."
The guard said, "We still have to check it before we can rest assured. Today, only a few of you will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those who have been to other palaces are also being searched as usual. Please cooperate. Sorry!"
Seeing that the guards were determined to check, Yingcan said, "Well, my room is over there, just follow me. The cloth I brought back is still in there."
After hearing this, the guards took a team of people and followed Yingcan to search her room.
When passing by the flower pots in the courtyard, one of the guards said, "Look, this gardenia is blooming beautifully!"
Yingcan was walking in front and when he heard the words coming from behind, his hands instantly broke out in sweat and his heart was in his throat!
