The daughter-in-law of the cold father and the hot concubine

Chapter 653 Surprisingly secretly having an affair with someone! (2)
Empress Dowager Hua took her personal maid to the kitchen, and when she heard that the meals had been stolen, she became angry on the spot.The maid next to her pointed to a group of people on the ground for her and sternly said, "How do you do things? Why are meals stolen?"

The leading chef kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Hua, and a big man with a big face and round waist cried bitterly in front of everyone, "The Empress Dowager, please spare my life... the Empress Dowager, please spare my life... I have made your favorite meal, and I have already prepared it. Well, I’m waiting for the meals to be delivered, but I don’t know what’s going on. Not long ago, all the prepared meals disappeared, and even the plates were missing... The Empress Dowager Mingjian, the little ones really prepared it carefully With meals..."

The palace maid said angrily, "You are talking nonsense, even if the thief is brave, you can just steal food, why did you steal the plates too? So many plates are missing, are you all blind? I see, it is clearly all of you today I was lazy and missed the time to prepare meals, so I made such an excuse to cover up the fact!"

Hearing this, more than a dozen palace officials knelt on the ground with pale faces and kowtowed their heads one after another. For a moment, crying, grievances, and begging for mercy intertwined, and the whole big kitchen was extremely lively.

"Enough!" For the quiet Empress Dowager Hua, the scene at this moment not only made her angry, but she was almost deaf from the noise, so she shouted.

On the ground, a group of people stopped the sound, each trembling and panicking.

Looking at the humble and helpless people on the ground, the Empress Dowager Hua showed no pity in her eyes. On the contrary, her old eyes were full of sternness, and all the anger in her body seemed to gather on her face, so angry that her dignified and decent makeup seemed to be falling off, "Sorrow Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, the Ai family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly! Now the Ai family is ordering you to go down and search, including your residence, to search everything, the Ai family will not believe it, and cannot find this daring thief!"

"Yes..." After hearing her order, everyone tremblingly responded, and quickly crawled out of the big kitchen.

Not only the staff working in the chef searched everywhere, but the guards, eunuchs, and maids of Shou'an Palace all joined the search.

The empress dowager's meal was stolen, which is no small matter.The people in the kitchen are all people who have worked in Shou'an Palace for many years, and they are also the people most trusted by the Empress Dowager, and they will definitely not lie.In other words, there was really a daring person in the Shouan Palace who stole the Empress Dowager's meals, and the other party not only stole, but also stole all the dishes.Is it plausible if it gets out?
Half an hour later, the inside and outside of Shou'an Palace were searched, not to mention not finding the thief, not even a single plate that was stolen.

In the end, it was the big maid who turned her head quickly, and hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager Hua, "The Empress Dowager, the people in Shouan Palace are all our own people. I think they will not do such a thing. I think this thief should be People from other palaces."

The Empress Dowager Hua was already very angry sitting on the phoenix couch. After hearing what the palace lady said, she immediately ordered, "Come here, report to the emperor, and let the emperor give an order. The Ai family will definitely find this daring thief!"

It's so exasperating!

She is the current empress dowager, and someone came to her to steal. The other party did not steal gold and silver, but stole her meals. This is obviously suspected of starving her to death. The other party is cursing her Eat free food, I want her to die as soon as possible!
If such a villain with ulterior motives is not pursued to the end, where will the dignity of her empress dowager be?

People in Shou'an Palace were in panic, but when the news reached Yan Zibin, Yan Zibin just sent a few guards to deal with the matter, and didn't care about the emperor's grandmother's anger at all.

In Yan Zibin's heart, there was always an indelible disgust and hatred for this imperial grandmother.If it wasn't for the sake of her currying favor with Yuwen Xianqing all these years, he would have already thought of a way to get rid of her.In addition, the Empress Dowager Hua has kept a low profile in recent years, so he kindly kept her in the harem.

It can be said that Yan Zibin didn't care about the affairs of Shou'an Palace at all. Looking at the guards he sent, the Empress Dowager Hua's face was so ugly that she even began to suspect that the person who came to Shou'an Palace to steal meals was sent by Yan Zibin. The purpose of coming here is to humiliate her, or even starve her to death.

After working all night, not to mention not catching the thief, he didn't even find a trace.As a last resort, the Empress Dowager Hua had no choice but to give up.

I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that from the next day, there would be problems with both breakfast and lunch.As in the previous evening, the meals prepared in the kitchen disappeared again, together with the plates.

At noon, the Empress Dowager Hua was completely angry, she even overturned the tables and chairs, and then led the people from Shou'an Palace to Yan Zibin's bedroom angrily.

Yan Zibin still saw her, but after listening to her complaint, he glanced coldly at the palace servants behind the Empress Dowager Hua, and said calmly, "Grandmother, is this a big deal or not? It’s not small, but it happened in Shou’an Palace several times, don’t you think it’s suspicious? If people from other palaces went to Shou’an Palace to steal, why would they choose to steal meals instead of other valuables? In my opinion, This is clearly someone guarding and stealing in Shou'an Palace, and then the thief shouted "Catch the thief."

Empress Dowager Hua was in a state of agitation and anger, she had to analyze where she could hear, "Your Majesty, the people in Shou'an Palace have served Ai's family for many years, they are all Ai's trustworthy, Ai's will not doubt them!"

Yan Zibin squinted his eyes, "The emperor's grandmother's intention... But it is believed that someone from another palace committed the crime?"

Empress Dowager Hua's face was ugly, and the creases on her old face were irritated a lot, but she couldn't say clearly that other palace people did this kind of thing. The current harem is all Yan Zibin's people. Dare to fight him.But if she doesn't pursue it, she won't be willing to die!

"Your Majesty, Aijia believes that the people in the palace are honest and responsible. Aijia just suspects that a thief has sneaked into the palace, so I want to ask the emperor to send someone to search the palace."

"Is there a thief sneaking into the palace?" Yan Zibin raised his cold thin lips, "Grandmother, you suspect that it is feasible for a foreign thief to sneak into the palace, but if there is a foreign thief sneaking into the palace, it is not justified. The rare treasures in the palace There are countless treasures, if there are thieves stealing in the palace, why haven't I heard the news of theft from other palaces?"

Empress Dowager Hua's face turned blue and white, her nails were dug into her palms, not to be outdone, "Perhaps the thief hasn't made a move yet."

Yan Zibin suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you done it yet? Didn't the thief steal food from your Shou'an Palace?"

Empress Dowager Hua was furious, "Food is the most important thing for the people, maybe the thief stole the food from Shouan Palace because of his hunger!"
