Chapter 31 Who is the thief?
Lan Yan twisted around in the quilt, but couldn't make any sound.
Chen Zhenzhu was in a panic. Lan Yan must have discovered that she and Lingze had secretly gone out. If Zhimei knew about this, she would look at them for a moment and then everything would be finished.
She was so nervous that she was covered in cold sweat, her hands were tightly clenched together, thinking that if the egret broke in, she would take it down together.
Seeing that no one was making a sound, Bai Er knocked on the door again, "Lan Yan, are you sleeping?"
Chen Zhenzhu took a deep breath and replied, "Who? He ran to smash the door when he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Lan Yan fell asleep. If she came in and called herself, she might as well leave quickly."
Since she was taught a lesson by Xia Qianhan last time, the palace maids in the yard have almost no courage to have a head-on conflict with her, although they hate her so much that they hate her to death.
When Bai Er heard Shen Zhenzhu's voice, he immediately said angrily, "I'm too lazy to go in."
After saying that, she heard the sound of her turning around and leaving.
It was not until he heard the sound of her closing the door that Chen Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Chen Zhenzhu didn't close her eyes all night, and she kept thinking about how to get out.
After dawn, Lan Yan will be on duty.
She can't kill Lan Yan.
However, if you don't kill her, you have to solve everything before she tells it.
Finally, she finally thought of a solution that was not a solution.
As soon as it was dawn, she got up and stuffed her purse secretly into the cabinet.
As soon as I finished all this, I heard Zhimi's voice coming from outside.
"Everyone comes out and come to the yard."
After she and Lingze finished packing up, they went out to the yard.
Lan Yan was taken care of by her last night and was still asleep.
All the palace maids gathered in the yard. Zhimei stood at the highest point and said, "Your Highness has an order. No one is allowed to go out today. He can wait until he comes to investigate in person. He asked the on-duty person to come back later to receive the investigation. You are all waiting in the yard."
Ling Ze's hand clenched Shen Zhenzhu's hand and trembled gently.
Chen Zhenzhu's heart also trembled, and it came so soon.
It seems that life and death are all about today.
Suddenly, she shook Lingze's hand away and whispered, "I have something to say."
Zhimei looked at her with anger, "What do you mean?"
"My gold was lost, I don't know who stole it. I'm going to investigate it myself."
Shen Zhenzhu said.
"Sister, are you losing your gold?"
Lingze said in a low voice.
Chen Zhenzhu ignored her and looked at Jimi with firm eyes.
Zhimei curled her lips, "Gold? Do you have gold?"
Chen Zhenzhu nodded, "The Sixth Prince said he couldn't embarrass him. He bought whatever he wanted, so he gave me gold."
Zhimei's face changed and she had not yet walked out of the slap of Xia Qianhan.
"Your Highness will arrive soon, and we will talk about it after the investigation."
Zhimei said with a pale face, her cheeks still had some bruises.
Chen Zhenzhu refused to accept it, "Everyone will disperse and will not be found. I want to check it now, or do you want me to ask the Sixth Palace to check it out in person?"
Zhimei's face changed drastically, "Are you threatening me?"
"Did I threaten you? After all, the gold belongs to the Sixth Prince. It's okay to ask him to come and investigate."
Chen Zhenzhu laughed secretly in her heart, but she didn't expect that Xia Liulang would feel good to use it like this.
"Sister, we didn't take her gold anyway, just check it out. Don't let the Sixth Palace come down."
Egret was really scared and said quietly.
Zhimei clenched her fists tightly, "Okay, go to the cabinet and take out everyone's baggage."
After a while, the yard was filled with baggage.
"Let's start with the bag, you can see it yourself." Zhimei said angrily.
Chen Zhenzhu nodded and then started searching very seriously.
I have seen almost all the burdens in each room, but there is no one at all.
"You've seen it, I don't know where you left it, or you're just dreaming of gold. Now you have nothing to say."
Zhimei snapped.
"I haven't seen the room yet?" Chen Zhenzhu said.
"Shen Zhenzhu, don't go too far." Zhimei said angrily.
Chen Zhenzhu shrugged, "How do I know if I have been hiding the silver under the bedding, in the flower pot or something after stealing it?"
Bai Er stepped forward and said, "Sister, have the baggage in her house not searched yet?"
Chen Zhenzhu immediately said with a dark face, "Lingze will never steal my things. Would I steal my own things by myself?"
Zhimei smiled coldly and said, "There is a saying that it is hard to guard against a thief. Ling Ze is closest to you, so of course the most suspicious thing is."
Lingze immediately became anxious, "I didn't steal anything."
"Do you steal or not? You can only know after searching." Zhimei said coldly.
Bai Er said from the side, "It has not happened that the thief shouted to catch the thief. Therefore, she cannot let go of her own burden."
Cardinal nodded, "Maybe, she was trying to frame us on purpose, and the gold was hidden by her?"
"Why didn't you see Sister Lan Yan?" I don't know who said.
Zhimei frowned and looked down, "Where is Lan Yan?" Her eyes fell on Shen Zhenzhu.
Chen Zhenzhu replied, "When I came out, she was still asleep."
"Go in and take out their bags and ask Lan Yan to get up. When is it still asleep?"
Zhimei ordered unhappyly.
Bai Er took the man into the house and took out the baggages of Chen Zhenzhu, Lingze and Lan Yan.
And said, "She seems to be sick and can't wake up no matter how she screams."
"I'm sick? Then find some medicine to feed her. No matter what, you have to get up, otherwise your Highness will come soon, what will happen?"
The egret agreed to go down.
The next moment, the Cardinal took the man to open the baggage of the three of them and searched.
Suddenly, the cardinal screamed in surprise, "Ah, here!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted, and the dragon saw a purse from a bag, and opened it to see the yellow gold.
"It must be made by Lan Yan." Chen Zhenzhu said.
Zhimei's eyes slashed, "Whose burden is it?"
"Let them recognize this by themselves." The cardinal picked up the bag and threw it in front of everyone.
Chen Zhenzhu and Lingze both took a breath of air. Lingze stared in surprise, "This... I didn't, this was not what I did."
He turned to Chen Zhenzhu, "Sister, believe me, I really didn't steal your gold, really."
Lingze almost cried.
Shen Zhenzhu looked at Cardinal, "Are you mistaken?"
The cardinal sneered, "I took out the bag in front of all of you and opened it. How could I get it wrong?"
"Sure enough, it's not a good thing to look for a turtle. One is not a good person, and one's hands and feet are not clean."
Zhimei smiled.
The cardinal took out a small purse from the bag of the pearl, and a small piece of green jade pendant was exposed inside.
Her eyes shined and said, "Oh, there is still a piece of jade here! It's the best emerald!"
Chen Zhenzhu snatched the things, put the jade into his purse, and put them in close proximity, "Have your mother taught you not to take other people's things?"
"What awesome thing? Didn't you just climb onto the bed of Your Highness Six?" The Cardinal said with a glance at her.
Chen Zhenzhu sneered, "If you have the ability, you can go and climb, but no one will stop you."
Cardinal's face turned red immediately and he was speechless for a moment.
