"Even if this slave is ignorant and can be sent away, why should Concubine Li be angry about it? She will be so angry that the emperor will feel sorry for her!"

Concubine Shu walked in elegantly, being led by Grandma Sun. She glanced at the people present with her beautiful eyes. When she saw King Chen who was sitting next to Murong Yue, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled softly.

Said: "Xing'er is here too. I thought you had left the palace and returned home? But are you here because of Miss Murong's affairs?"

When King Chen saw Concubine Shu, he didn't get up. Instead, he sat lazily on the chair. His starry eyes were deep and his words were clear and authentic: "I have been waiting for Yue'er at the gate of the palace for a long time. I didn't see her coming, so I naturally found her."

, the person I brought into the palace must be brought back by me!"

"That's natural!" Concubine Shu nodded, with a gentle smile she glanced at Murong Yue, who was sitting beside King Chen without making a sound, and then sat down on the chair opposite King Chen.

"Since Sister Shu Fei is also here, let me sit with my sister for a while! My sister hasn't sat with her for a long time!" Li Fei turned her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking of. She smiled and said nothing.

He left in a hurry, but turned around and sat down next to Concubine Shu.

Concubine De glanced at Concubine Li coldly, guessing a little bit about her thoughts, but ignored her. Instead, with Huamei waiting on her, she sat next to Murong Yue, reached out and patted Murong Yue comfortingly.

Rou Yi looked at Murong Yue with an eyebrow, apologetic in her eyes, as if she was blaming herself for not protecting her well.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhou quickly served tea for several people without waiting for Concubine Hui to give her instructions again. Then she took several palace maids and stepped aside to wait patiently.

Murong Yue turned to face Concubine De's protective expression of concern, smiled brightly, and indicated that she was fine and there was no need to worry.

When King Chen saw Murong Yue's gorgeous smile, he raised his starry eyes slightly, glanced at the two people interacting, and then continued to narrow his eyes silently, coughing, as if he was extremely tired.

Murong Yue rolled her eyes helplessly in her heart, showing contempt and sympathy for this sinister fox who was always pretending to be herself outside.

I despise his superb acting skills and sympathize with him for having to wear a mask all the time, even his biological mother has to hide it.

Thinking of this, Murong Yue's beautiful eyes turned back to Concubine Shu, only to find that when Concubine Shu heard King Chen coughing, her expression was as indifferent as she was accustomed to.

Murong Yue felt a slight pain in her heart. As a mother, has she become numb to her son's frailty? Concubine Shu, to Bei Chenxing, is it because she has accepted the "reality" that he will not live to be twenty years old, or is it because

His temperament is indifferent.

In a daze, Murong Yue seemed to hear King Chen's sneer. When she looked back, she found that King Chen was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and there were just bursts of irregular coughing.

Maybe I have misunderstood! King Chen, how could you suddenly sneer?

Concubine Shu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Concubine Hui sent people to my palace in a hurry, saying that she wanted to find a maid who didn't exist in my palace at all.

But I was confused. I had nothing to do, so I came here to find out. I don’t know what Concubine Hui is doing?"

"Oh?" Concubine Hui heard what Concubine Shu said, her smile faded, and she raised her eyebrows and asked Aunt Liu beside her: "Aunt Liu, I clearly ordered you to go to Concubine Shu and ask for instructions.

Concubine Shu, why did you make Concubine Shu so angry?"

The tone of Empress Hui Fei was obviously gentle and indifferent, and although her expression was peaceful, the pressure of having held a high position for many years was invisible. After hearing this, Aunt Liu knelt down and said: "I will atone for my sins. I am not doing my job well."

, please punish me!"

Concubine Hui let Mother Liu kneel on the ground and ignored her. Instead, she turned to look at Concubine Shu and said with an apologetic expression: "Concubine Shu, don't be offended. It's all because of my sister's inability to discipline her that I let this slave take matters into her own hands.

If you annoy my sister, if she can't get angry anymore, my sister will hand this slave over to you and let you do whatever you want. Please don't let me go out with you!"

Concubine Shu gently waved her hand and said unnecessarily: "What are you talking about, sister? I came here today with no other intention. I just heard that my sister had lost the jade pendant given by the emperor. I was worried about my sister, so I came over to see if

There is someone who can help. This jade pendant is a small matter, but the emperor’s wishes cannot be compromised!”

As she spoke, Concubine Shu motioned to Aunt Sun behind her to help Aunt Liu up, and said comfortingly: "This Aunt Liu is an old man serving beside my sister. If she were punished, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the slaves?

How can I bear to do something that hurts our feelings! By the way! Have you found the jade pendant?"

Concubine Shu's tone was sincere, and her face was full of worry about Concubine Hui's jade pendant. Seeing this, Concubine Hui glanced at Murong Yue with her beautiful eyes, and then looked at King Chen who was sitting silently aside, thinking about it in her heart.

After a while, he had to tell the truth: "Originally, this matter was not a big deal. The jade pendant was also found. However, the strange thing is that the jade pendant was found in Princess Xingyue's food box.

, and this food box, according to Princess Xingyue, was given to the princess by a maid who claimed to be serving in her sister's palace. She made it with her own hands and asked the princess to bring it to Prince Chen. This matter concerns her sister.

Reputation, that’s why my sister asked Nanny Liu to go to my sister’s palace to inquire whether this was indeed the case!”

"Is there such a thing?" Concubine Shu glanced at Murong Yue in surprise when she heard this, with a trace of scrutiny in her eyes. Murong Yue allowed Concubine Shu's gaze to linger on his face, and his expression remained calm and composed, as if

Concubine Shu's sharp, razor-sharp eyes did not exist, but she calmly sipped the Yunwu tea in front of her. Although it was not as fragrant as Tianji tea, it was still considered the best tea.

Concubine Shu seemed not to have expected that Murong Yue could not change her expression under her pressure and scrutiny. A hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a bit of solemnity. After considering it for a moment, she looked at Concubine Hui.

, and then finally shook his head and said: "I did not send anyone to bring cakes to Xing'er. This palace maid is not from this palace."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu also said: "My Lady, it is indeed true. When the servants and Huamei arrived at the Yihe Palace of the Imperial Concubine Shu, they did not see the maid."

After hearing this, Concubine De turned to look at Huamei, who nodded and said, "My Lady, it is indeed true. I have never seen that palace maid before. That palace maid is very unfamiliar."

Concubine De nodded, frowned lightly, and said with a sad expression: "If someone really wants to frame Yue'er, naturally they won't arrange an old man who can be recognized by others, but I don't know who wants to frame Yue'er!"

Concubine Li snorted coldly when she heard this, and said with a mocking expression: "Concubine De is the person in charge of the harem, and she must be fair and notarized. How can you conclude that someone is framing your niece without any evidence?

maybe……"

Concubine Li wanted to say something more, but when she saw Queen Chen who was concentrating with her eyes closed, she didn't finish her words, but the meaning was self-evident.

After hearing this, Concubine De's expression became cold, and she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Concubine Li. When Concubine Li saw this, she turned her head proudly and did not look at her at all. As for Concubine De, as long as she did not fall into the hands of the other party, she would let the other party

Wherever your rights are exercised, there is no need to fear the other party at all.

And what Concubine Li was afraid of was just King Chen on the side. If not, she would have said more than just such a sentence!

When Concubine De saw that Concubine Li was no longer speaking, she withdrew her gaze and turned to tell Huamei: "Go and call the palace painter, draw the portrait of the palace maid, give it to the guard Zhang, and let the palace guards go and search.

.”

After speaking, Concubine De looked at Zhang Yunche again and asked: "Chief Guard Zhang, have you told the people at the palace gate to pay attention to people leaving the palace?"

Zhang Yunche respectfully returned: "After asking the Xingyue Princess about the jade pendant in the food box, my subordinates have already told the guards to guard the palace gate tightly. If a palace maid needs to leave the palace, she must have the warrant of each palace master and notify

You have to go through your subordinates. Now that no one has come to notify you, I think the palace maid must still be in the palace. As long as there is a portrait search, she will definitely be found."

Hearing this, Concubine De nodded approvingly, glanced at Zhang Yunche, and said, "You have done a good job. I will report it to the Emperor later and let the Emperor reward you."

The rewards in the harem are only some soft things of gold and silver, but only the emperor can achieve real promotion and promotion. Concubine De's words should be regarded as the biggest reward for Zhang Yunche.

When Zhang Yunche heard this, he just saluted and said: "These are my subordinates' responsibilities. I dare not ask for rewards."

Concubine De waved her hand and said, "I have a certain decision in mind."

Then he turned to look at Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui on the side, and asked: "Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui, do you have any opinions on the arrangements of this palace?" She glanced at her mother's hair.

Concubine Hui said with a smile: "My sister is satisfied if she can find the jade pendant. As for who took it from her, I don't have to find out who took it from her. It's up to Sister De Fei to decide everything!"

Concubine Shu also smiled and said without comment: "Concubine De will investigate this matter thoroughly. I believe that with Concubine De's ability, I will be able to clear my name!"

Seeing that the two parties involved had no objections, Concubine De waved her hand to Huamei behind her. Huamei nodded and quickly retreated.

Apart from Murong Yue, she was the only one who had seen the palace maid, so naturally she was the one who went to communicate with the painter to describe it!

The hall fell silent again, only the faint sounds of a few people drinking tea and the cough of King Chen could be heard. During this period, King Chen opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yunche who was holding the food box tightly, and then closed his eyes again.

Just when Grandma Liu was refilling everyone's tea for the third time, there was a sound of hurried running outside the door, and it was Huamei who came back. However, Huamei looked very bad about this.
