This is not the first time Wei Yingluo has been stolen.
Just like the loss of peacock thread in the embroidery workshop last time, she suspected that there must be a conspiracy behind this incident.
This thought should not be told to everyone, they are already panicking enough, if they know that they have stepped into the trap, I am afraid that they will be even more scared and overwhelmed.
"Pearl, don't cry. Crying can't solve the problem." Wei Yingluo said calmly, "Now I'll ask you, the first question, who was the first to return to Dongcijian just now?"
"Yes, it's me." Pearl replied, for fear that she would doubt herself, and quickly defended, "I sneaked out to watch the fireworks, I was afraid that Sister Mingyu would find out and come back before the fireworks were finished."
Wei Yingluo nodded: "Was the relic still there at that time?"
Pearl shook his head, everyone was disappointed when they heard the words, and felt that the clue was about to end here.
Wei Yingluo thought about it for a while, and then changed the question: "Is it really only you, and no one else?"
Pearl racked her brains for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "No, there is another person, I vaguely saw a person leave from the door."
Mingyu was overjoyed: "So you saw the thief? What does he look like, is he a man or a woman, think about it!"
"Yes, yes..." Pearl bit her lip and said an unexpected name very carefully, "It's Shu Guiren."
It is also the original owner of the stupa relic, Nalan Chunxue.
"Okay, the thief shouted to catch the thief, but it was her!" Mingyu gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out.
"Do you think it's useful?" Wei Yingluo's voice sounded faintly behind her, "She was the one who sent the stupa relic to the palace, what reason does she have for stealing back when others are not prepared? More importantly, in order to set off fireworks At that time, the candles in the corridor were all extinguished, and who would believe it based on the testimony of a palace maid?"
"At that time, there was a big firework in the sky, and it was bright everywhere. I could see it clearly!" Pearl said quickly.
"I believe in you, but others may not believe you." Wei Yingluo reassured, then closed her eyes and pondered.
The time was so rushed, the thief had no time to transport the things out of the palace, and the stupa relic was extremely precious, so most of the things were hidden on the thief himself.
"Body search? It's impossible. What reason do you use to search the bodies of the masters?" Wei Yingluo pondered.
possible.
"I have a plan to find the culprit." Wei Yingluo opened her eyes and said to everyone around her, "But I need your help..."
The singing and dancing in the main hall is coming to an end. After all, Hongli is recovering from a serious illness. He is almost unable to endure it now. He yawns, leans in the chair, and asks lazily, "What other shows are there?"
The queen was about to answer when Mingyu suddenly walked up to her and bent over to whisper a few words to her. Hearing her words, a trace of doubt flashed on the queen's face, but she still smiled and said with a smile on her trust in Wei Yingluo: "Your Majesty, the last performance in previous years was all acrobatics, so this year we will change it up."
Hongli couldn't open his tired eyes, so he closed his eyes and said, "What tricks?"
"The maids in my palace will present you gifts." The Queen said, "Yingluo, you can come up."
Hongli suddenly opened his eyes.
Xu is to present a gift in front of the hall. She usually wears plain clothes, but tonight she rarely put on a red dress. The red is very bright. Ordinary people can't hold back such a bright color, but she can hold it back. Smile, with its piercing eyes.
"… The jade pot turned light, the fish and dragon danced all night, the moths and snow willows were golden, and the laughter was full of dark fragrance." I don't know why, this poem is like a quiet spring breeze, blowing into Hongli's heart, a pool of ripples Kai, "Suddenly looking back, that person is... in the dim light."
The light shone on Wei Yingluo, and also on the yellow silk that she was holding in her hands, Zhao Hongli smiled slightly, she suddenly threw the yellow silk on the ground, and the moment the yellow silk fluttered to the ground, it suddenly swelled up. , Wei Yingluo leaned over and lifted the yellow silk, revealing a delicate and small glazed pagoda.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Concubine Huigui's sneer was extremely abrupt, she stroked her tortoiseshell false nails and said, "It's not a rare thing, but it's just a blindfold. Beforehand, I hid the pagoda in her robes and took advantage of everyone's gaze. When I concentrated on the yellow carpet, I quietly moved out!"
Concubine Chun had sharp eyes and frowned: "No, what about the relics on the glazed pagoda?"
It was only then that everyone discovered that there was one thing missing from the Glazed Tile Pagoda, the most important thing.
This is something that the Queen Mother has been looking for for many years, and it is more valuable than everything present. How can you say that you will lose it if you lose it
"No need to worry, gentlemen." Wei Yingluo smiled calmly at everyone, "The servants were afraid of poor transportation, so they deliberately took down the relics on the glazed pagoda and transported them separately!"
Nalan Chunxue gave a faint smile, and then still put on a Duanxian look exactly like the queen, and asked, "Where is the relic now?"
Wei Yingluo looked at her: "Isn't it on you?"
Nalan Chunxue's face suddenly changed.
"Nonsense." She pinched herself quietly, calming herself down again, "How come the relic is on me?"
"What I use is not a blindfold method, but a method of taking things from the air, and the things are naturally on you." Wei Yingluo said as she approached her, "If you don't believe me, I will take out the relics now."
Nalan Chunxue was already a little flustered in her heart, but now that she saw her rushing towards him, she immediately panicked, and her right hand subconsciously clenched her left cuff.
Wei Yingluo has been observing her, how could she miss this small gesture, she immediately stretched out her hand and grabbed her sleeve, ignoring her struggle, and pulled out a small sachet.
"You are presumptuous!" Nalan Chunxue didn't know if it was because of anger, and her face turned pale.
Wei Yingluo untied the sachet and showed the Buddha's relic inside to everyone. She smiled and said, "Isn't it right here?"
Everyone thought it was wonderful, and they didn't hesitate to give their applause. Beside the Queen, Mingyu and Zhuzhu were all secretly relieved, especially Zhuzhu, who almost knelt on the ground when his legs softened. took her.
"It's hard to get through this time, don't make any mistakes." Mingyu whispered.
"Okay, okay." Pearl wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Wei Yingluo in the distance with some admiration, "This time, it's really thanks to Sister Yingluo..."
Mingyu looked at Wei Yingluo in the field with complicated eyes, and saw that she took off the gold scissors around her waist, cut the yellow silk with a click, and then waved her hand, and the broken satin flew into the sky like snow. Unbelievably arranged in four big characters - longevity without borders.
It was the most perfect ending for this feast.
Amidst the applause, Nalan Chunxue returned to Concubine Huigui in a sullen manner, just as she was about to explain something, Concubine Huigui said coldly: "This palace gives you a chance to do things for this palace, but you can't think of such a trivial matter. If you can't do it well, let's go!"
Nalan Chunxue bowed her head and stepped back, thinking in her heart, "I have offended the Empress, and now I have annoyed Concubine Hui, now there is only one chance... The Emperor likes the gift I gave, and let me sleep tonight, no matter what. take this opportunity!"
Thinking of this, her eager eyes were fixed on Hongli.
She never thought that when she looked at Hongli, a pair of eyes were also looking at her.
"Yingluo." Mingyu and Zhuzhu came up to meet them, Mingyu hesitated for a moment, and finally said awkwardly, "This time... Thank you."
"No need." Wei Yingluo looked back and smiled at the two of them, "Just right, I need your help with something..."
