Work overtime

Chapter 217 Unidentified Object

After Li Beichen entered the sedan chair, Jiang Jinxiu sat down obediently in his original position.

She wanted to express her love and gratitude to the emperor, but she was timid.

He promoted her status in public and maintained her self-esteem, just like a great hero.

Trembling, she gently raised her hand.

However, as the car body shook, it was put down gently.

She bit her lip and lowered her head. The education she received since she was a child told her that girls should not take the initiative, but should be reserved and abide by etiquette.

"Your Majesty, thank you." She hesitated for a long time before she said, and after she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her face getting hotter.

Although Li Beichen couldn't see Jiang Jinxiu's face clearly, he knew it must be very red and shy.

He likes to see Jiang Yuebai shy very much, and when he sees her shy but arrogant expression, his heart beats and he is very excited.

When facing Jiang Jinxiu, there was a moment of thumping, but there was no such burning feeling.

Li Beichen couldn't help taking out his flute, and played it in the dark.

He is as familiar with the flute as he is with his own body.Close your eyes, you can clearly know the position of each hole.

At this time, he was blowing the tune of a love song between men and women in the Book of Songs.

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. My fair lady, a gentleman is fond of it. There are various waterweeds, flowing left and right. My fair lady, I dream about it"

The tune is melodious and lingering, and the emotion is strong and straightforward.

Jiang Jinxiu curled up, hugged her legs, and lowered her head.

Her heart becomes very gentle and gentle with the music
The music along the way drifted far, far away.

Those who heard it, including Xu Fuhai, thought it was for Jiang Jinxiu, and only the person who was blowing it was deeply missing another person.

When getting out of the car, Li Beichen unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Jinxiu had fallen asleep like a baby again.

"Wake her up," Li Beichen got out of the car with the flute in his hand, and ordered Xu Fuhai.

From the emperor's tone, Eunuch Xu suddenly realized a little bit of His Majesty's heart. The person the emperor has been thinking about just now is Jiang Yuebai.

Li Beichen entered the hall, but saw a woman kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair being held down by two eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine is wronged! The concubine did not steal anything, did not steal anything!"

Li Beichen frowned immediately.

The eunuch immediately knelt down and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, this is the Murong family of Xi Ning Palace. Eunuch Xu ordered the younger one to search her bedroom. We found this unknown object."

Bring up Durex's box with both hands.

"Bring her in." Li Beichen took the box, squeezed it in his hand, and ordered, "When Jiang Changzai comes up, tell her to come in too."

"promise."

Li Beichen flipped through the box casually, opened it and saw that there were only five left, "What's inside?"

He remembered counting them when he unpacked them, ten in total.

"Chen Qie. Chen Qie opened five and threw them away." Murong Chang saw the box's legs go limp, his lips trembling, and he stammered.She dare not deny it.Because she knew that there were four more boxes in Jiang Yuebai's room.

Now that he has come here specifically, it means that the emperor knows that Jiang Yuebai has this weird thing.

"Where did you throw it?"

Murong Chang said stammeringly: "Buried, buried in the small garden next to our palace."

"Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't take that pill. The concubine was wronged. The concubine was really wronged."

"Where did you go wrong? Didn't you steal something from Taorui Palace?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Murong Changzai knelt on the ground, banging his head, "I took this thing from Zhaocai's bed that day. But I really didn't take the pill. Really not. The emperor's concubine was wronged."

The emperor took one out of the box and shook it in front of Murong Chang, "Since you used five, do you know what this is for? What did you use it for?"

"I don't know." Murong Changzai's legs were trembling, and he said tremblingly, "At first I blew it, but I found that it can be blown very loudly. I saw the words on it later, and the meaning of the words seems to be"

Murong Chang gritted his teeth and said, "It seems to prevent pregnancy."

Because the word contraception does not have traditional characters, it is easy to understand.

In fact, Li Beichen also saw these three words, but how to use them.He didn't understand.

The most important thing is that all the women in the harem are eager to go to bed and get pregnant soon, so my Yuebai actually wants to use contraception?
Do not understand.

Li Beichen then asked, "Have you figured out how to use contraception?"

Murong Chang nodded hesitantly.

Just then, Jiang Jinxiu walked in.

When Jiang Jinxiu saw the box in the emperor's hand, and Murong's kneeling on the ground, she immediately thought of what happened in the morning, and angrily cursed: "You actually stole my sister's things! I am so kind to lend you the clothes." Change! Hurry up and hand over the things!"

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Jinxiu. He was like a little sheep just now, but now he is like a hen protecting its cubs.

Looking at Jiang Jinxiu, he said in a gentle voice, "Sit on the side first, I have something to ask her."

Li Beichen handed the one in his hand to Murong Changzai, "Demonstrate it to me."

Murong Chang looked at Jiang Jinxiu who was sitting next to him in surprise, and after a moment of stunned, he tore open the package tremblingly, put the contents on his fingers, and unfolded them round and round.

As smart as Li Beichen, plus experienced, he looked down, turned his mind around, and immediately understood the mystery inside.

"Did you see that mahogany box on the dresser?"

"No," Murong Chang said with a guilty conscience.In fact, she opened it out of curiosity, but when she saw that it was empty, she closed it again and put it back.

Now it is suspected that she stole the pill inside, but she just opened that box.

As long as she admits to opening the box, everyone will assume that she must have stolen it.

At this time, Murong often thought of Ye Suhua's conviction that he had pushed Shixi into the water.

She saw with her own eyes that Shen Shixi fell down by herself.But no one was willing to speak for Ye Suhua, not even himself.Just let Ye Suhua be wronged.Because she was also jealous of Ye Suhua being made a nobleman when he came in, and she was very dissatisfied with Ye Suhua's superiority and domineering.

Now she deeply understands Ye Suhua's despair at that time.

Li Beichen has seen such scenes a lot since he was a child, when clumsy lies are exposed.

"You not only saw it, but also opened it." Li Beichen said coldly.

"There are no concubines." Murong Chang insisted.

As long as you insist on not admitting it, there is nothing you can do about it.Anyway, I was the only one in the house at the time, and no one saw it.

Li Beichen considered that Ningxia had just reported a sudden local rebellion, and Murong Changzai's eldest brother was also the main force of the Northwest Army, a fourth-rank general Xuanwu.The preparation is still based on small punishments and big commandments.

Then he shouted loudly: "I will give you another chance, have you taken that pill? If you take it, hand it over! This is the queen's life-saving medicine. If you take it out, I will forget the past. If you don't take it. "

"The concubine was wronged! The concubine was wronged! The concubine really didn't take it." Murong Chang was weeping bitterly, and couldn't help kneeling in front of the emperor, pulling the emperor's pants, and looking at the emperor pitifully.

The makeup on his face was all messed up, it was horrible.

Before, she laughed at Ye Suhua for not being able to argue for justice for herself, but now she can only say the sentence "The concubine is wronged", because she is not without reason and frank.

"Get up. Confine yourself for a month. You are not allowed to go out at any time, and no one is allowed to visit you. Wait."

Murong Chang was stunned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.Because it was only grounded, without any substantive punishment.

Eunuch Xu immediately reminded: "Hurry up and thank you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Murong Changzai hastily bowed down, with deep sympathy in his heart.

Before being taken away, Murong Chang still looked back at the emperor with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, this concubine really didn't take that elixir. Really didn't."

Li Beichen is concentrating on putting the sleeve back into the box.I was a little eager to try it out, to see if it was the kind of usage I guessed.

He even wants to question Jiang Yuebai right now, why he loves me so much, why doesn't he want to have a child for me!
I'm pissed!
