At the captain of the guards' order, the guards behind him filed in, ignoring Ji Lingxue and Mo Xiang who were standing at the door.
Mo Xiang said angrily: "Captain of the Guards, what do you mean? Who gave you the courage to search the princess's room?"
The captain of the guards curled his lips in disdain, saying that a former princess really thought she was an important figure. She might be divorced one day.
Of course, the captain of the guards just kept these words in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Princess. We are only following orders. Please bear with me." The captain of the guards' tone was not as good as Ji Yuqing's.
Mo Xiang looked at Ji Lingxue and then at the chief guard, feeling uneasy. Just now, a man's voice was heard from the princess' room. Could the prince know about it and send someone to catch the adulterer
The captain of the guards saw Mo Xiang's anxious expression. He looked Mo Xiang's figure up and down, but he couldn't equate her with that thief with ghostly movements.
Ji Lingxue blinked and turned to the guards who were rummaging around in the house and said, "Be careful, these things are gifts from the prince. If you damage them, you can't afford the compensation."
The guard who was holding a broken bowl and preparing to smash it withdrew his hand. The guard who was opening the cabinet to search could not help but slow down his movements.
The chief guard asked, "Aren't you curious about what we are looking for, Princess, or do you already know the answer?"
Ji Lingxue's reaction was completely different from Ji Yuqing's, which made him very curious about her thoughts.
Ji Lingxue turned around and looked at the head guard as if he was an idiot. "You didn't tell me what you were looking for, so how would I know? I'm not a worm in your stomach."
The captain of the guards looked embarrassed. Uh... he shouldn't have had any illusions about a fool.
At the same time, Xiao Yichen, who was sitting in the living room, got the letter he had searched out of Ji Yuqing's room. The crooked words on it looked like they were written by a child who had just learned to write.
"The prince's calligraphy is beautiful. I'll borrow it to appreciate for two days and return it today." Looking at the crooked words on the paper, Xiao Yichen's eyebrows twitched, feeling that his power as a prince was being mocked.
"Someone come!" A roar sounded in the living room. The air pressure in the palace suddenly dropped to freezing point, and even the passing mice quickened their pace.
The guard came to Xiao Yichen under great pressure and said, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Yichen asked: "Has that daring thief been found?" Such a long time has passed, how come there is still no news? It seems that the captain of the guards has been demoted and retrained.
Guard: "In reply to your Highness, we have searched most of the courtyards in the palace, including Concubine Qing's room. Now the only one left is the side courtyard where the principal concubine lives... The chief guard is still searching."
"Ji Lingxue..." Xiao Yichen frowned, turned around and walked out.
Ji Lingxue yawned, and the brows of the captain of the guards opposite him became more and more furrowed. They searched every corner of the palace, but in such a short time, the thief seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. How would he explain to the prince if he couldn't find him
"The prince is here!" The guard's voice came from behind.
Ji Lingxue looked up and saw Xiao Yichen coming towards her in the night with a murderous look on his face.
Mo Xiang had a look of panic on his face. He pulled Ji Lingxue's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Princess, is the prince here because of you..." Because you are having an affair
Seeing the uneasiness in Mo Xiang's eyes, Ji Lingxue gave her a reassuring smile.
Xiao Yichen walked up to the head guard and asked, "Did you find it?"
