After the words fell, everyone was silent, they didn't even dare to raise their heads, even the female officer Zhishan beside him didn't say anything, as if they didn't know anything.Li Sui looked at the people under Dudu's rank, but he thought it was a little funny, just now he was still aloof, but Ye Tingling was shaking badly, if it wasn't in front of her, he was afraid that he would be judged as a disgrace Sin, I'm afraid it has already fallen down.

Look at the cold and arrogant girl among the crowd, wearing an old jacket that has been washed and ruined, her hair is pulled up without any decorations, but even the appearance of the thorn hairpin sarong cannot conceal the girl's indomitable national beauty Face, kneeling between the heaven and the earth, like a pillar, with a straight back and upright, it seems that her mother Jiang is kneeling in front of her, but Li Sui faintly feels that Jiang Lihua is more like Jiang's last safe haven .

Li Sui couldn't bear to wait any longer, so he sat down comfortably and upright, looked at the fluttering heavy snow, then squinted at Ye Tingling and said, "Yeting Ling, what this palace lady just said is true?"

Hearing his own name, Wang Chong's body was already shaking, and he couldn't help pointing at the people behind him trembling harshly and said: "Slander, slander, that woman has always sharp teeth, obviously she stole something, If it is to be held on the old slave, the princess must not be deceived by it, as for what she said about the old slave persecuting her, it is even more nonsense!"

Hearing Wang Chong's voice, Li Sui frowned indifferently, and then said: "Why, before I started interrogating, Ye Ting Ling felt that I would be deceived by this woman. Could it be that I was young, or that I was not worthy?" bit?"

Hearing these words, Wang Chong felt as if his throat was choked. When she touched Li Sui's eyes with a smile that couldn't reach his eyes, he suddenly felt the pressure enveloping him like a dense dark cloud, making him "bang—" and knelt down again. .

Looking at the people under his feet, Li Sui finally understood.

Over the years, it seems that Concubine Shu and Elder Sister are generally kind and kind people, but Elder Sister’s kindness is distinguished from right and wrong, and she is loved by the six palaces; while Concubine Shu’s kindness is divided into high and low, benevolent with interests or transactions .

Because of this, when my elder sister passed away in the previous life, no one in the six palaces did not cry and sigh.Sister's fraternity was truly recorded in the annals of history by official historians, and it was when Yang Chongyuan was in power. When she was in power, she could still hear the story of Sister's virtuous queen being told by the humble maid in a remote palace.

And after the death of Concubine Shu, those who were favored by her all turned against each other and made trouble, wishing to step on two feet and put aside their relationship. towards the strange light.

When Concubine Shu got the position of Assistant Manager of the Sixth Palace, she must have been trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice. She was not like Elder Sister who had the position of the main palace and had the backing of the Yang family.The Shangguan family seems to be her reliance, but she is not the reliance of the Shangguan family.

So since she wanted to use this to gain a deeper grip in the harem, she had to win over enough hearts.And by taking advantage of the replacement of old and new personnel, putting some key but unobtrusive positions on your own people, or on people who were not qualified to sit in their positions before, will naturally win the gratitude of those people.

Presumably the Wang Chong in front of him is the latter type of person, if he hadn't worked through his qualifications and climbed up step by step, with his timid and fearful yet evil temperament, how could he be able to sit in the position of Ye Ting Ling.

Li Sui's eyes were cold, he looked at the person in front of him, and said intriguingly: "Okay, Ye Tingling knelt down again."

"Your Majesty, old slave, this old slave really dare not stand up and answer—"

Seeing this, Li Sui stopped talking, raised his eyes and looked at the crowd calmly and said, "Just now I mentioned that the beads on Yue Zhaoyi's clothes are lost, so bring me the clothes and the beads you found."

As soon as the voice fell, someone sent it to the bottom of the steps, and after Nian Nu took it up and handed it up, Li Suishi rubbed his eyes at the missing place on the clothes, and when he was about to take them back, he accidentally saw something strange at the back collar, his eyes widened. There was a slight movement in the middle, and in the next moment, a little finger-sized, crystal clear bead was twisted.

Li Sui groped lightly with his fingertips, passed it to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, then his expression eased, and he easily glanced at the people who were nervously staring at her and said, "This will be much easier."

Hearing this, everyone was startled, and couldn't help shouting in their hearts, could it be that in just a short moment, Princess Yongning already knew who the culprit was?
Seeing that some of the people looked at each other and whispered, and some lowered their heads in trepidation for fear of getting involved in this matter, Li Sui raised the beads and said solemnly to the Niannu beside him: "Look, this is not the Tibetan that An Nanguo paid tribute to in September. Xiangzhu, just that small box, His Majesty gave it to His Highness, and His Highness gave it to Yue Zhaoyi who made clothes—"

Yu Nu took a look at the pearl upon hearing the words, it was no different from ordinary pearls, but she didn't think of it, but Nian Nu took a closer look and said with a smile: "The princess has a good memory, I remember it after only seeing it once. Yes, at that time, this thing was sent by the servant girl, and Yue Zhaoyi happily gave it to the palace maid as a reward."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but understand that it was because of their shallow knowledge that they mistook pearls for fish eyes and thought they were ordinary pearls, precious but not rare.

"This Tibetan incense bead is only paid as tribute once every few years. It is not common in the palace. It seems to be the same as all the beads in the Central Plains. In fact, after long-term contact, it will be contaminated with the fragrance on it. The fragrance cannot be washed away. It will take three to five days. Disperse, listen to His Majesty's words, it has the effect of calming the mind, rejuvenating the face and fragrant skin, just look at it."

Seeing everyone's sudden realization, Nian Nu couldn't help taking out a sniff, and nodded.

Li Sui let go of his hand, and the beads fell into the small box with a sound, and then swept towards the crowd, but he knew that this sound must also fall into the hearts of those who cared.

"You also said that this thing was delivered in good condition. How long has it been since it was washed and found to be missing?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Zhishan hurriedly said: "Princess Hui, there are rules in Ye Ting, noble people's clothes must not be overstocked, they must be cleaned and returned within four days, and Yue Zhaoyi—"

Seeing Li Sui looking sideways, Zhishan replied cautiously: "Yue Zhaoyi has always been strict, and clothes are especially demanding. They need to be returned within three days, and today is the second day."

As for the rules of Yeting, Li Sui didn't know how to live in the harem for decades, but now hearing Yue Zhaoyi's domineering behavior, it gave her more time.

"Since this is the case, I will teach all the palace maids who wash the nobleman's clothes to stand up. If they are ordinary washers, dryers, incense holders, and folders, those who have never touched the bead on purpose will scratch the surface of the dress and touch it. On the contrary, it is the person who stole the beads, so he must wait a little longer, and the truth will be known after investigation."

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the sound, and they couldn't help showing a little nervousness on their faces, for fear that some other smell might be on their hands, which would confuse the truth.

Li Sui glanced at Nian Nu beside him and said, "You have come into contact with this thing and heard it just now, so you should check it out."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Nian Nu immediately walked down in response. Seeing those maids walking out tremblingly, with different expressions on their faces, Nian Nu said calmly, "Raise your hands."

After everyone raised their hands, Nian Nu took a sniff one by one, and the tense atmosphere lingered in the entire front porch like this, as if the air, ice and snow between heaven and earth were gradually stagnant, and only the "click" sound of the ice layer could be heard .

Gong'e, who had been investigated, was naturally relieved, and she looked a bit like a survivor of a catastrophe, but Gong'e, who was waiting for investigation, was as cautious as going to the execution ground.

Seeing Wang Chong and Zhishan looking nervously at Niannu, one trembling and the other pretending to be calm, Li Sui took the time to pick up the teacup and took a sip of it calmly.

Just when she raised her eyes and was about to put down the teacup, Nian Nu was already standing in front of the third-to-last Gong'e, but at that moment, that Gong'e was hesitant to stretch out her hand, the air suddenly became cold, and under everyone's gaze , that Gong'e seemed to be persecuted like a light on her back, trembling and hesitating whether to stretch out her hand, when she heard a cold voice saying: "Stretch out your hand."

Looking at Nian Nu, who was obviously shy and charming, she looked like a judge in hell at this moment, and the maid shrank back in fright, her body trembling, trying to hide behind her outstretched hands, as if being tied up by someone. It's stuck, and I can't lift it up.

Seeing this, Nian Nu still didn't understand why, her face turned cold immediately, and she raised her hand to pull, but that Gong'e still struggled with all her strength, and she was forced to pull it out after a long time of stalemate. Nian Nu immediately pushed her hand away, and scolded severely: "It's clear that even your sleeves are soaked in smell, how dare you argue!"

That Gong'e's face turned pale when she heard the words, she waved her hands in a daze and said, "No, it's not me, I clearly changed clothes today—"

Before she could finish her sentence, under the eyes of everyone who looked at her with contempt, amazement or accusation, the maid immediately fell to her knees and burst into tears.

"No wonder I saw her acting strangely today. She even changed her clothes, but said that the original clothes were wet. I'm afraid she was guilty of being a thief and worried about being caught by others, so she deliberately changed the clothes she used when she was stealing to confuse the public."

Hearing that the maids were gradually falling into trouble and uttering many suspicious points, the palace maid finally couldn't bear it under Li Sui's master and servant's cold eyes, collapsed, and then kowtowed continuously: "Princess, princess, slaves don't, slaves really don't -"

However, before that Gong'e could continue, Zhishan took the lead in angrily pointing out: "The black hearted thing dares to steal Zhaoyi's treasures and frame others, it deserves to die!"

Hearing Zhishan's words fell to the ground, Wang Chong seemed to have just reacted, pointed at Gong'e tremblingly and said: "No, that's right, come here, take it down quickly."

Li Sui looked on coldly at the two people who were forced to lose their rhythm by singing together.The jade slave behind him immediately understood, and he sounded alert: "In front of the princess, is it someone else's turn to talk?"

Knowing the good and hearing the words was also a little anxious, and even though he pretended to be calm, he still couldn't help but a trace of nervousness flashed across his face, but Wang Chong on the side didn't dare to speak. Huner.

Looking at Jiang Lihua standing there, looking sideways at the palace maid, a trace of astonishment flashed in Jiang Lihua's eyes, and then gradually turned into a touch of indifference.

Li Sui glanced at the Gong'e who was so frightened by Zhishan that she was paralyzed into mud and crying so hard that she couldn't help herself, then cast a teasing glance at the two people below the stairs and said, "Is the Yeting Palace's investigation so perfunctory now? It's settled in just a few words." Are the two guilty?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Li Sui's words, Na Zhishan glanced at the chaotic Ye Tingling, and quickly said with shame: "The princess is wise, it's the slaves who lost their sense in a moment of anxiety—"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Lihua behind him kindly and said: "I was deceived by others and punished the color screen by mistake."

"As for Cai Heping's Japanese nature, he has deceived us all. I am sorry to bother the princess tonight, but the slaves are really damned, but please rest assured, the princess, we will definitely punish him severely for this matter and will not tolerate it."

Seeing the person in front of him speaking obediently, he looked like Wang Chong's military advisor.

"Since I want to interrogate, I naturally have to ask the matter clearly, to investigate clearly—"

Noticing that Zhishan's face froze, Li Sui raised his jaw and said to Yu Nu: "You personally take this maid to check her body, where she lives, and see where there is another bead."
