Thief, you are teasing me

While shaking his clothes, Chen Ye rummaged through what happened before.After he took the jade bead in the brothel, the man in black took himself to the dungeon. Could it be that the jade bead was dropped when he was bullied by the prisoner?

"What are you looking for, is it this?" Feng Shun picked up a dark green jade bead pendant while Chen Ye excitedly took it over, "That's it, why is it with you?"

"It fell from you when I picked you up in the prison, so I brought it here."

Seeing Feng Shun's calm face, Chen Ye couldn't help being a little disappointed and said, "Didn't you say that Hou Suizhu's heart is drop-shaped and as big as a pigeon's egg, isn't this one?"

Feng Shun shook his head with a smile and said: "This one looks very similar in appearance, even I almost thought it was. But the real heart of Suihou Bead has many hair-like cracks inside, put it in candlelight Next, it will also map out complex patterns."

"Is that so...then I have suffered in vain?" Chen Ye sat back on the bed in disappointment, Feng Shun put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Did you get this jade bead from Zhang Fang?"

Chen Ye shook his head, "Zhang Fang gave it to a woman from a brothel. I saw that it looked similar, so I took it."

"Then have you ever thought, since Zhang Fang already has a real bead, why there is such a similar fake bead, and then he gave this fake bead away?"

Chen Ye looked at Feng Shun puzzled, and only listened to his explanation: "If I like this jade bead very much, but there are people around me who are interested in it, and I am a prince respected by the world, if I don't give it to me, I will give it to you." It seems that I am very stingy. At this time, I will find a similar jade bead, and then pretend to be generous and give it away."

"You mean the real pearl is still in Zhang Fang's hand? But I searched around his residence, but I didn't find any similar jade beads, and he didn't bring it with him either."

"Don't worry, leave everything to me, and have a good rest tonight." Feng pinched the tip of Chen Ye's nose, and then pulled him into the bed, and the two embraced each other sweetly and fell asleep.

On the second day, Feng Shun got up before dawn, and after washing himself on tiptoe, he glued a mustache on himself.Before going out, he kissed Chen Ye on the cheek, "You don't need to worry about anything, just wait here obediently for me to come back."

Chen Ye was woken up by him but still pretended to be asleep, a small smile inadvertently opened the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "Then let's see who will steal the treasure first."

The sky was gloomy in the morning, but the Pinghou Mansion was full of festivities, with busy people inside and out.As soon as Feng Shun sneaked in, he was caught by the steward, who grabbed him and interrogated him, "Why weren't you in the ward round last night, where did you go?"

"Returning to the adults, the little one seems to have eaten something unclean. He had a stomachache last night and didn't return to his residence until midnight."

Feng Shun rolled his eyes slightly as he said, and took out the jade bead pendant and handed it to Guan Shi, "The villain picked this up in the garden the night before yesterday. It seems that Lord Hou dropped it. Please help me return it when you have time." Marquis."

Guan Shi looked at the pearl pendant suspiciously, then sent Feng Shun off to do some work, and walked towards Zhang Fang's bedroom by himself.

Red silk flutters in the hall, and red candles flicker all around.Zhang Fang was wearing a gold-threaded red dress, and was resting tiredly on the soft bed.Thinking of what happened yesterday, I still have lingering fears. Fortunately, that boy Chen Ye acted as a substitute for the dead, and then the steward brought people to arrive in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

At this time, the steward knocked on the door and came over, presented a jade bead pendant and said: "The night before yesterday, my subordinates picked this up in the garden, I wonder if it was lost by Lord Hou?"

Zhang Fang's eyes moved slightly, he took the bead pendant and looked it over carefully, it seemed to be the one he gave Liu Ru, but how could it fall in his garden?Right now Liu Ru should still be recuperating, it is impossible to bring the jade bead here, so where did this jade bead come from?

"The night before yesterday, could it be the emperor..." Zhang Fang seemed to remember something, and put the jade beads into his clothes.

At this moment, Feng Shun was pretending to pass by the door unintentionally. As he expected, the guard said that he picked up the things to claim credit, and Zhang Fang naturally would not doubt his own guard.

Feng Shun was thinking, since Zhang Fang likes Suihou Zhu so much, why didn't he carry it with him?So Feng Shun had a guess, that Zhang Fang gave away the real pearl, and the only one who could make Zhang Fang reluctantly part with it was Liu Ao who came the night before yesterday.

So this is a set, a set of using fake beads to draw real beads.

Soon after, there were a lot of guests at the gate of Pinghou Mansion, and the people were filled with joy.And Zhang Fang wore a red colored haircut on his chest, sat on a tall snow-white horse, and led a grand team out to greet his relatives.

At noon, the bride's sedan chair was taken to the Pinghou Mansion, and everyone gathered at the door to greet the blessings.At this time, the emperor was also present, and the rewards alone amounted to tens of millions of dollars, which was enough to bring ten boxes over, which made the guests envious.

"Thank you, the emperor, for the reward!" Zhang Fang stepped forward to hold Liu Ao's hand, and Liu Ao didn't shy away from it, pampering his cheek.The two just looked at each other affectionately in full view, and the crowd cast unexplained glances, but no one dared to discuss anything.

The next step is to worship and get married. Amidst the laughter and laughter of the people, Zhang Fang leads the bride's red head and walks to the gorgeous palace to worship the heaven and the earth.Then the bride was sent into the bridal chamber lively, while Zhang Fang stayed to entertain the distinguished guests at the table.

At this time, Feng Shun was helping to serve wine and run errands, watching Zhang Fang from time to time.

The sky was gloomy as if it was going to snow, but this did not affect the celebration of the wedding banquet in the slightest.The banquet lasted all afternoon, and after dark, people started various sideshows.

Only then did Zhang Fang have time to be alone with Liu Ao, and the two embraced quietly in the dimly lit garden.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to have a bridal chamber with another woman tonight, aren't you jealous at all?"

"Just treat her as if you married her and put it at home. It doesn't matter even if you are in name only, I will still love you the same."

Zhang Fang was waiting for Liu Ao's words, and he nestled in his lover's arms with satisfaction. At this moment, he seemed to think of something, "By the way, did the emperor lose the jade bead I gave to the emperor?"

"I haven't lost it. I've always treasured the things Aiqing gave me, and I'm taking them with me right now." Liu Ao said as he untied the jade bead pendant from his waist. Zhang Fang took it in surprise, but due to the dim light Unclear, the two had no choice but to walk towards the lit corridor.

At this moment, "There is an assassin!" suddenly came from not far away. The two of them turned pale with fright, and hurriedly called for escorts.The nearby guards hurried over upon hearing the sound, and escorted the two of them into a verandah.

It seemed that it was a false alarm, so the two of them took out the two jade beads, which were shining brightly in the firelight.After careful comparison, there seemed to be many cracks in one of them. Liu Ao couldn't help asking, "Why are there so many flaws in this one?"

"There are no flaws in it. I once asked a craftsman to identify it. They said that it was added through a special process, and the material of this jade bead is very precious. It seems to be a treasure left over from a long time ago."

"Oh?" Liu Ao took Zhuyu curiously, but suddenly all the lamps around were extinguished, and the whole space was suddenly dark, and the two hurriedly called for someone to light it up.

After a while, someone lit a lamp, and the hall gradually brightened.However, Liu Ao found that the jade bead pendant in his hand was missing. He searched around in astonishment, and then realized, "Hurry up! Catch the thief!"

The guards quickly formed a queue after hearing the order, and searched inside and outside the veranda separately.

At this moment, in the wedding room covered with red silk, the bride is sitting on the bed and waiting quietly, the red hijab covering her sight.Suddenly she heard someone pushing the door and came in, so she asked in a low voice, "Did your husband come in?"

After waiting for a while, the other party replied: "It's me, madam, sit down and wait for me obediently, I have something for you."

The bride then obediently sat still, and Chen Ye searched around the room. He didn't have time to search carefully last time, maybe the Suihou Pearl was hidden here.Anticipating that Zhang Fang would definitely not go to the bridal chamber honestly, he put on a red dress and disguised himself as Zhang Fang, and entered the wedding room logically.

Chen Ye carefully searched every corner, even knocked on the floor one by one, but found nothing.He muttered in his heart: "No, since Zhang Fang likes the Suihou pearl so much, why didn't he carry it with him and hide it in his residence? Could it be that he gave away that real pearl?"

"Have you found the thing yet?" The bride couldn't hold back her curiosity, trying to peek at Chen Ye through the gap in her hijab.

"Madam wait a little longer." Presumably Suihou Zhu was not here, so Chen Ye planned to turn out the window, after all he was disguised as the bridegroom officer, it would be strange to go out through the door at this time.

However, Chen Ye was surprised to find that the window couldn't be pushed open, as if it was blocked by something from the outside.So he changed another window, but it still wouldn't open.

"What's going on here?" Chen Ye had no choice but to walk towards the door, but a cold light flashed by his side, he couldn't dodge it in time, and a long and narrow cut was cut on his arm.

Seeing the bride standing in front of her, holding a cold dagger in her hand, Chen Ye was puzzled and asked, "You... Ma'am, what are you doing?"

"Who is your wife, I am the assassin who came to kill you!" The bride smiled coldly, and raised her dagger to attack again.

Chen Ye hurriedly dodged, but the little lady was not bad at it, she almost stabbed him several times.He casually picked up the chair to resist, but was kicked away by the opponent.Seeing that he overturned the table again, she turned around and dodged it, and rushed forward to throw him on the ground, and the dagger stabbed straight at his chest!

"Go to hell..." The bride's dagger stopped suddenly just as it touched Chen Ye's chest. She looked down in disbelief and saw a needle stabbing her abdomen.

Chen Ye took the opportunity to push the bride away and stood up, "How dare you pretend to be a bride!"

"Zhang Fang you, a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people...I want...to kill you!" The bride stood up unsteadily, holding a dagger and trying to continue the attack.

Chen Ye was too lazy to talk to her, and walked quickly towards the door, he didn't want to blame Zhang Fang again.However, at this moment, he suddenly smelled a burning smell, and looked back in surprise, only to see the lamp fell on the ground and the gauze curtain was burned.

"It's not good!" Chen Ye was trying to find something to put out the fire, but the bride rushed forward again.He knocked off the opponent's dagger, but she took the opportunity to hold his wound, and her nails suddenly dug into the flesh, causing him to gasp in pain.

Chen Ye really didn't expect that this little lady could be so fierce after being poisoned by a poisonous needle, and the two immediately wrestled into a ball.The fire spread rapidly, and the surrounding curtains were burned, and thick smoke was everywhere in an instant.

"Are you crazy?! Let me go, or we'll all die!" Chen Ye grabbed the bride's hair, while the bride pinched his neck, and the two grinned angrily.

"I won't let it go, it's my honor to kill a sinner like you!" The bride pinched Chen Ye and rolled her eyes, only to hear Chen Ye struggle and say: "I'm not Zhang Fang, you made a mistake!"

Light snow fell in the night sky, and the guests gathered together to sing, sing and dance, and were filled with the joy of the wedding.While the guards were searching for the thieves, someone suddenly noticed something strange, "There's a fire over there! Hurry up and put out the fire—"

After hearing the news, Zhang Fang and Liu Ao rushed over, only to see thick smoke billowing from the roof of the wedding room, and there was still a faint glow of fire.Zhang Fang couldn't help shivering, "It seems that someone wants to kill me again."

"Master Hou, you are here!" Guan Shi stepped forward and said with concern, "I saw you enter the bridal chamber before, and thought you..."

At this moment, Feng Shun was among the guards, and when he heard Guan Shi's words, he stopped in his tracks. If Zhang Fang didn't enter the bridal chamber, who would it be?

Zhang Fang looked at Guan Shi in surprise, "What did you say, I went into the bridal chamber?"

"Could it be..." Feng Shun looked at the glaring fire, his heart rose in his throat instantly.
