yellow door

Since Liu Sui'er asked Pengxue about the situation during the day, she naturally knew that Wen Mu's search for her was inseparable from the purple jade auspicious cloud pendant, but she searched for it all day today, and even the old storehouse in Zhaoyang Palace couldn't find it. I went to look it up, but I couldn't find the pendant.

It's fine if Chang Xiu remembers it wrong, but even though Wen Mu didn't like the pendant, it was indeed a documented imperial gift. Besides, she also remembered that not long ago, she had seen it That Peizi's.

Losing something that was granted by the emperor is a serious crime, so when Liu Sui'er saw Wen Mu, she just knelt down and apologized.

Wen Mu didn't care about these jade treasures at first, but this time the faint ridicule in the queen's words was dealt with by him, but he was still scolded by the emperor and the noble concubine. At that time, Concubine Xiao Gui taught him a few more words because of the emperor's words, and angrily scolded the servants in Zhaoyang Palace.

On the way back to the West Palace, the imperial concubine babbled a few more words, but the main point was that Wen Mu favored the servants in the palace too much, especially Chang Xiu.Wen Mu knew that since the last fight incident, Concubine Xiao Gui had always disliked Chang Xiu, and because of what he said at the time, she was not attractive for the time being, so this time he took the opportunity to warn him again.

Thinking of the imperial concubine's anger, thinking of Chang Xiu's words and smiles just now, and now seeing Liu Sui'er's appearance again, Wen Mu's anger that had gradually calmed down could not help but rise again.

"How do you work as an errand? You dare to lose the things that the emperor bestowed you. It seems that the palace is too used to you. You don't want to stay in the palace anymore, do you?" Wen Mu gradually closed his eyebrows. , with sharp gazes in his eyes, his words to Liu Sui'er were full of coldness.

Wen Mu has always seldom disciplined his servants, and even less so with girls. Seeing that Liu Sui'er was scolded until she shed tears, Chang Xiu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, calm down, Liu Sui'er has always been serious in doing things. It’s just that something went wrong this time, and I don’t think it was intentional.”

Liu Sui'er saw that Chang Xiu was helping her to speak, so she only sobbed and replied: "I will never lose the things that the emperor gave me, even when I placed the purple jade string that the emperor gave to His Highness last month, I still knew about it." I remember seeing that pendant placed together with several other pieces of jade, because His Highness never carried that pendant, and I didn’t pay attention to it afterwards. When I went to look for it this time, everything else was still there, but only the pendant was missing. , so I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's..."

Although Liu Sui'er didn't say anything further, everyone understood what she meant. It was still in the thing a month ago, but now it has disappeared. If it is true as she said, the thing is afraid He was taken away in private.

After hearing this, Wen Mu slammed the table, and said: "Could it be that there are thieves in the palace? Why didn't the thief take other things, but just took the pendant? The pendant is the only one in this palace that is valuable. Yet?"

Liu Sui'er hurriedly said: "Although the pendant is not the most valuable, it is His Highness who does not like to use it the most. If it is not because Huque Ling's clothes are broken this time, no one will think of it for many years to come. .Maybe that thief...people also know about this situation, and just picked up unremarkable things on purpose."

Liu Sui'er's words confirmed that there was an internal thief in Zhaoyang Palace, if not, her crime of negligent duty would have been even greater.

Chang Xiu also interceded on Liu Sui'er's behalf: "Your Highness, Elder Sister Liu has also been in the palace since she was a child, she knows the rules in the palace, and has never seen her make a big mistake in these years, I'm afraid this time it is indeed... ..."

Liu Sui'er saw that Mu still had a gloomy face and didn't make a sound, so she cried again: "Although I usually like to talk and laugh, my maidservant has always done my duty, I just hope His Highness can find out about this matter and return this maidservant's innocence! "

Wen Mu raised his eyebrows, looked first at Liu Sui'er, then at Chang Xiu who was kneeling there with her head bowed, and suddenly laughed lightly, saying: "Then why do you want me to give you your innocence?" ?”

Liu Sui'er looked up at Wen Mu, then thought for a while, and said: "This item has not been lost for a long time, and those who can get it must be someone who knows the inside story in the palace. The pendant is an imperial item. It's hard to get rid of it outside, and things are expensive, so if you think of a thief, don't worry about hiding them elsewhere, they must be kept close to you. Besides, during this month, the servants and servants are busy with Tiankuan Festival, His Royal Highness's birthday, and the Queen Mother's birthday, and no one is there. Registering to leave the palace, if someone really stole something, it must have not been released, it is only in the hands of that person."

Seeing that Mu was silent and silent, Liu Sui'er gritted her teeth again and said, "Now I just hope His Highness can search the rooms of the servants one by one. If nothing can be found by then, the servants will be fined and expelled." gone."

Liu Sui'er knew that looting the inner court was a big deal, but she had already committed the serious crime of losing the imperial treasures, if she couldn't find anything, she would just be punished one more time.But if something was found out, the responsibility on her body would be much less.In this way, she would rather take such a gamble.

After hearing Liu Sui'er's words, Wen Mu only slightly narrowed his eyes, and said: "Since you have said so, it would be unreasonable not to give you justice. If so, you will take care of this matter." Go ahead and talk to Li Da and Wu Shanggong. At that time, no matter what the result of the investigation is, you won't feel wronged."

Liu Sui'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, then hurriedly got up and went out to search for the purple jade auspicious cloud pendant.

After Liu Sui'er went down, Wen Mu only looked at Chang Xiu and said with a smile: "What are you still kneeling here for, are you going to kneel until they find Pei Zi?"

Hearing Wen Mu's words, Chang Xiu also stood up, lowered her head and said, "Your Highness's temper today would scare even Han Xiu, let alone Liu Sui'er, who belongs to a girl's family. Internal thief, Liu Sui'er is not entirely to blame for this matter, why does Your Highness need to scare her like this?"

Today's incident, Wen Mu felt a little unlucky at first, and everything was not going well, but when he returned to the palace, after this grumbling incident, he felt something was wrong, although he didn't know what went wrong, but this It didn't affect him to continue watching the play.It's just that I don't know who is on the stage in this play.

Thinking in this way, Wen Mu narrowed his eyes again, and only lowered his head to play with the piece of adornment worn by the empress.

"That girl Liu Sui'er is indeed a bit too reckless on weekdays. It's good to let her learn a little lesson. As for the temper you mentioned, I just watched today's play, but now it makes me feel interesting. Since then From morning to now, not a single thing has gone smoothly, tell me, maybe even I have been a character in this play a few times."

Chang Xiu raised her head abruptly, and only looked at Wen Mu with big bright eyes.

Seeing that Mu only lowered his head and fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand, after a long while, he said slowly: "At first I was so annoyed like that, but now I'm using it as a joke, plagiarizing such a big matter in the inner court, master You can also make jokes, Hanxiu is always unable to catch up with the master's thoughts, but the more she is talked about, the more confused she becomes."

Wen Mu smiled and rolled his eyes: "You are sometimes confused! You are the most foolish person in this temple. If you are confused, then I will not be the one who will be confused next? Where do you tell me to go?" Find someone as sweet and clever as you?"

Chang Xiu listened, and just lowered her hands without making a sound.

Wen Mu didn't look up, but suddenly asked again: "You said that if Liu Sui'er didn't find anything, then what should I do?"

Chang Xiu couldn't see the expression on Wen Mu's face clearly, she hesitated for a while, and then slowly replied: "According to the law, she should be sent away with a rod, but she is different from others, so I'm afraid she can't follow the general rules. Besides, it's still not clear what's going on..."

Because it was a search, it took a lot of time to make a lot of noise, and there were only a few people who had seen the pendant, so the search process slowed down even more.

Wen Mu was copying outside, and Wen Mu didn't sleep. After washing, he just took a book and leaned on the Arhat's bed to read. Seeing that it was late at night, Chang Xiu was afraid that Wen Mu would hurt his eyes by reading like this. It's not too late to see the result, but before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside the door.

Chang Xiu took a look at Wen Mu, saw that Wen Mu didn't look up at all, so she walked to the door and opened it to look out, but when she didn't want to, she ran into Ru Hai and Peng Xue who were about to come in with a plate, Chang Xiu let them go , only asked Ru Hai: "What's going on outside? It's so noisy!"

Ru Hai bowed his head and replied: "Miss Liu led people to search the houses, because they said it was the master's order, and everyone had nothing to say. Only went to Mr. An's place, but Mr. An refused to let them in, saying It's the girl who got the power and ignored her past affection, and only acted like a tramp. When the girl heard this, she got into a quarrel with Eunuch An anxiously."

Although Wen Mu didn't look outside the door, his ears were sharp. He also heard Ru Hai's words, so he casually said: "Ander and Liu Sui'er have always been on good terms, so it's no wonder that Liu Sui'er led the search of my room. He will not be convinced. But he doesn't know whether the two people have a stronger relationship in the past, or are more interested in catching thieves."

When Chang Xiu heard Mu's words, she seemed to be mocking, so she turned around and walked up to him, frowned, and said softly: "Both of them have their own reasons and difficulties, so why should your Highness laugh at them. If I were An De, I would definitely not want Liu Sui'er to randomly search the room. After all, the two are not only friends on weekdays, but An De also has the title of vice-principal on his head. .”

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Wen Mu's mouth, and said: "So I said that today's play is all interesting, even if I didn't find anything, this play is enough. I just don't know what the ending of this play will be like .”

Chang Xiu pursed her lips and was about to speak, when a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness, I found something!"

Chang Xiu turned her head to look, but it was Xing'er kneeling outside the door with a flushed face, the color on her face, she didn't know whether it was excitement or panting from running.
