Chapter 178 The bracelet was missing and found again
Zhichun said nervously: "Master, it won't be lost, right? But I didn't see anything dropped just now. Did it fall somewhere?"
The bracelet was taken off by the Queen Mother from her hand during the election and was given to Lihua on the spot. It was very valuable.
If it is lost, it would be a serious crime of disrespect.
People who were watching the theater in the distance thought that there was no show left. They were a little disappointed and wanted to leave. When they heard the noise, they immediately stopped and listened.
Lihua recalled for a while, touched her wrist and said, "It shouldn't be possible. When I first left Zhuangning Palace, I was still wearing it, but why did it disappear after a short while?"
"Ah!" Zhichun suddenly thought of a possibility, looked not far away and exclaimed: "Isn't it stolen by someone? It's used to blackmail you..."
"Zhichun, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh..."
Not far away, Linglong sneered in her heart, could it be that Wu Meiren's maid wanted to rely on her to steal it?
Stealing is a serious crime in the palace, and stealing something given by the emperor is even more of a serious crime. How could she be so stupid as to steal in order to coerce people to go to Jinghong Palace!
And which eye saw her stealing? She didn’t touch Wu Meiren from the beginning to the end. Wu Meiren took the initiative to help her!
Linglong felt contempt in her heart and turned around to continue walking.
She folded her arms and wanted to rub the area where she had just been supported, which was still sore and numb.
However, his body suddenly stiffened, and where his right arm had been supported, he was wearing something hard.
She quickly touched it and saw that it was a bracelet!
How, how could it be possible, how could she get an extra bracelet out of thin air?
Linglong's pupils shrank, cold sweat instantly soaked her back, and from behind came Granny Li's doubts and Lihua's anxious voice:
"Wu Meiren, what's going on?"
"Mother Li is well. It's great to see you. My bracelet is missing. I was still wearing it just now. What should I do? It was a bracelet given to me by the Queen Mother."
"Wumei people, don't be impatient. Let's talk to the old slave."
Linglong's mind exploded. She could no longer hear what the two people behind her were saying, and she was thinking frantically about what was going on.
The front and back are connected together, Linglong already knows that she is Wu Meiren, she did it on purpose!
It’s just that she couldn’t figure out how someone could do it. Why did the bracelet end up in her hand even though she just helped her?
Could it be that they put it on when her arm was so painful that she couldn’t feel it?
Yes, yes, it was at that time that before Wu Meiren let her go, she even straightened her sleeves.
At that time, she thought that Wu Meiren was just putting on a show in front of others, but that was it!
Linglong figured it out, swallowed, tried her best to calm down, pretended not to know, and walked forward quickly.
Just after walking about ten steps, Aunt Li's voice came from behind: "Mids in front of you, come here."
At that moment, Linglong felt that her death was coming, and her mind went blank. Only one of the three souls left drove her to stop, turn around, and walk back. Every step was like slow motion.
Aunt Li is the head of the Punishment Department. She is in charge of punishments. She is a serious and upright person, so the palace people are naturally afraid of her.
Linglong is no exception. She understands that she was caught on the spot by Granny Li, and both the person and the stolen goods were taken away. Even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't clean it up, and no one could protect her!
Grandma Li saw Linglong walking back with her head lowered, walking very slowly, and something seemed wrong. She immediately became suspicious and winked at the palace attendant she was leading.
The person in charge of the palace was in charge of the punishment department. He was extremely experienced. He understood what was happening at a glance and quickly walked over to prevent people from escaping.
Linglong walked forward with heavy steps, getting closer and closer to Granny Li and Lihua.
She thought hard, would it be useful if she said that Wu Meiren framed her?
It’s useless...
Who would believe it?
She just failed to invite someone to Jinghong Hall, and she was so close to someone, so she had a very strong motive for committing the crime.
Moreover, whoever dares to use the precious bracelet given by the emperor to frame it in public and even throw it away himself will be the only one who is in trouble.
Linglong understood clearly that the short journey was as long as a sentence.
She could feel Grandma Li's sharp eyes on her.
Just when she was almost there, she thought she was really done playing.
Lihua said in surprise: "Here it is, not lost. Hey... just why is it stuck in the sleeve folds below?"
Today, Lihua is wearing a fairy skirt with wide sleeves. The cuffs are very large and she is cool to wear. When she is holding her posture, the folds under the sleeves can hold things.
Linglong's tense mind relaxed, and she felt as if she had died for the first time. Her whole body was weak, and she relied on strong support to keep herself from falling to the ground.
Not long after she relaxed, she heard Wu Meiren feel happy and puzzled at the same time: "I'm obviously wearing it in my hand, how come it fell down my sleeve? It's weird."
Linglong's heart tightened instantly. Wu Meiren wouldn't falsely accuse her of trying to steal the bracelet but accidentally dropped it, right?
But then, she felt relieved again, because Lihua said: "Maybe I accidentally dropped it myself, but luckily I found it. Thank you, Aunt Li, you are my lucky star, I found it as soon as I came here." p>
"If anything, it's Wu Meiren's own good fortune." Aunt Li glanced at Linglong, always feeling that this palace maid was weird, but now she found the bracelet.
So she told Lihua: "You must keep the bracelet carefully from now on. If it is left somewhere else and someone uses it to do something, it will not be that simple."
The pear blossoms are blessed: "Thank you very much, Aunt Li, for your concern. I will keep it well."
Aunt Li nodded and said goodbye. Before leaving, she looked at Linglong again before leading her away.
After several reversals, Linglong was hung up to death. Feeling the oppressive gaze of Aunt Li, she was hard-pressed to speak.
After Grandma Li left, Lihua walked up to Linglong, took her right hand, and greeted with a smile: "I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
Linglong subconsciously dodged, but failed to escape. She struggled hard but failed.
She raised her head and sneered softly: "Wu Mei is good at using tricks. I have no enmity with you. Why is this so?"
Lihua's smile widened: "No grievance or hatred? Think carefully about what your master wants to do. In other words, what do you want to do?"
Linglong's heart skipped a beat, she felt that such a martial beauty was very dangerous, and her eyes made her unable to hide.
She stopped talking and forced herself to calm down: "I don't know what Wu Meiren is talking about."
Lihua was convinced that Wu Fang'er had a big problem with her.
But Wu Fang'er is not a conspiracy material, so it can only be the palace maid's problem.
This is intriguing...
Lihua hid her thoughts, looked back at the palace maid in front of her, and comforted her in a low voice: "You are lucky this time, maybe it will be true next time." There was a hint of evil in her tone.
Linglong felt a chill in her heart, and a trace of fear crawled up her spine, but she soon felt relieved.
A beauty who is not favored and has no background, so I only dare to scare her like this.
Lihua saw that she hadn't learned her lesson yet, so she smiled and said no more.
If you dare to provoke her again, she will not show mercy next time.
Lihua let go of the person and took off the thing on the person's right arm. It was her thing and she had to take it back.
