In order to redeem the white jade bed, Wu Xue, under Lihua’s instructions, took the bundle and buried it under Linglong’s bed.
Unexpectedly, where Linglong lives, slaves who have gone off night duty will come back to sleep from time to time.
Linglong herself couldn't sleep well, and soon she turned over and made some noise.
But Wu Xue was so exhausted that she lay under the bed almost all night, slowly digging the soil with her paws.
As soon as there was any movement, I stopped. After a while, I felt that I was sleeping peacefully, and then I continued to dig the soil. It took almost a whole night to bury it.
I went back and lay down in Cangchen Hall in a state of embarrassment.
Wu Xue tilted her head and glanced at the baggage, and wanted to walk over. Then she felt the touch of Pear Blossom, and turned to look at Pear Blossom.
Seeing the opportunity, Lihua immediately scratched its chin, ignoring the penetrating gaze above, and her face was burning with heat.
Anyway, she didn’t do this. If she wants to be confessed, Wu Xue will be the first one to lead the culprit.
Wu Xue narrowed her eyes comfortably, no longer interested in the baggage.
Yuchi Gong looked at the man and the cat in a funny way. He couldn't tell that this baggage was the work of the little thief and Wu Xue.
Don’t forget that Wu Xue’s slovenly appearance while lying in Cangchen Hall earlier caught Yuchi Gong’s eyes.
The dirt on Wu Xue's paws and the possibility of seeing the thief that night are connected, and it is not difficult to guess.
Yuchi Gong thought to himself that the thief was still the same shrewd and cautious thief. He had been prepared for it long ago. Even without him, he would have been able to escape the crime.
He asked someone to open the bag and saw that it contained a unique pot and a medicine bag.
The medicine bag was taken for inspection, and the material and style of the pot were exactly the same as Wu Fang'er's poisonous wine pot.
Lihua glanced up with some uneasiness, and saw Yuchi Gong's joking look, and immediately knew that she had not hid anything from anyone.
Yuchi teased her respectfully: "Have you ever seen this pot, my beloved concubine?"
Lihua looked innocent and shook her head like a rattle: "I don't know, I'll see you later."
Yuchi Gong nodded: "If that's the case, someone will smash it!"
Lihua subconsciously wanted to stop it. There was another reason for this pot and it couldn't be smashed.
Then he suddenly realized that the evildoer smashed the pot not to feel happy, but to defeat him ten times with one force and smash it open to see what happened.
I just wanted to scare her on purpose and let her show her flaws, you damn monster!
Sure enough, after smashing it open, he had people search carefully and dig out the eggs inside and present them.
Yuchi Gong frowned: "This thing..."
At this moment, someone came in from the outside and replied: "Long live my lord, on the way to see Wu Meiren, Su Cairen caught the maid pretending to be a palace maid of Zhuang Ning. She is waiting outside at the moment."
Coincidentally, after Su Siru got Concubine Xie's permission to come out, she headed to Jinghong Hall with three minions.
On the way, she found a faint light of fire in a corner of the rockery. Su Siru was not afraid and immediately asked her to go check it out.
It turned out to be a palace maid who was burning something in a panic.
Without saying a word, Su Siru let the thieves tie the people up and the horses beat the thieves to put out the fire.
I found that what the palace maid burned was a set of clothing, half of which was burnt. After careful identification, it turned out to be the clothing of Zhuang Ning Palace.
The palace maid kept begging for mercy, saying that she had done nothing and it had nothing to do with her.
Su Siru realized something was wrong. She was worried about not having a legitimate reason to see Lihua.
So, regardless of whether it had anything to do with Wu Fang'er's death, he was taken directly to Jinghong Palace.
On the way, I met someone sent by the emperor to search for fake people from Zhuang Ning Palace.
Yuchi Gong and Lihua looked at each other and both had an idea. The palace maid appeared just after the portrait was painted. It was so smooth.
Yuchi said respectfully: "Bring the palace maid in, and as for Su Cairen, take her to the side and ask her clearly."
The person who came took the order and left.
Lihua's heart tightened, and she stood up and said, "Long live my lord, Su Cairen must have heard the news and was worried about me, so he came to see me..."
Yuchi smiled respectfully and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, just go to the side and ask her, and let her go back after asking her clearly."
Since ancient times, there have been many troubles in the harem. If he doesn't ask, he won't worry.
Lihua felt relieved, knowing that it was just a routine question, not like Zhou Yuzhen.
Soon the maid who burned the clothes of Zhuang Ning Palace was tied up tightly, gagged and escorted in.
Lihua walked over to identify her, and Yuchi Gong came to stand beside her.
When Lihua saw the palace maid's face clearly, she said she was not disappointed or expected, and turned to Yuchi Gong and shook her head.
The maid who invited her to Jinghong Hall had an ordinary face, was calm throughout the whole process, and answered questions fluently, with almost no flaws.
But the current palace maid, with frightened eyes, pale face, and slightly pretty appearance, is basically two people.
Yuchi Gong pursed his lips tightly and his face was stern, as if he had thought of something.
Lihua wanted to take out the ball of cloth stuffed in the palace maid's mouth and ask a few questions.
When Yuchi Gong saw this, he quickly grabbed her hand and uttered one word: "Dirty!"
Lihua: "..."
She secretly complained, well, the monster is still the same classy monster. What kind of care should be taken at this time? Even if he is dirty, he will not get dirty.
As soon as she finished complaining, Lihua saw a scene that made people stunned.
One moment, the evildoer thought it was dirty and refused to let her do it. The next moment, he condescended and personally pulled out the ball of cloth from the palace maid's mouth and threw it aside.
Lihua looked at him with her mouth open, making Yuchi Gong feel a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but pinch Lihua's chin with his other hand and turned her face away: "Okay, just ask whatever you want."
The hand holding the ball of cloth was clenched and held behind his back, as if there were ants crawling up and down, which made him very uncomfortable.
Lihua turned around and blinked. She actually felt that the monster was a little cute at the moment.
You obviously despise that cloth ball, but you can’t bear to do it yourself. Why?
Is it because of her?
After the palace maid was able to speak, she didn't even need to ask, and she just made a fool of herself.
She was ordered by Linglong to go to Tingliyuan this afternoon to invite Lihua in the name of Aunt Qin.
Unexpectedly, I was knocked unconscious halfway through. When I woke up, it was already dark, and I was still wearing the Zhuang Ning Palace costume.
She didn't know what had happened, so she hurriedly took off her clothes and hid them. She was about to go back to Jinghong Hall to find Linglong, when she heard the news that Wu Fang'er was dead, and that someone was searching for people pretending to be from Zhuang Ning Palace.
She didn't dare to go back, so she found a rockery to hide in. In a panic, she remembered Linglong's instructions, so she lit a fire and burned her clothes, thinking that no one would notice if the palaces had their keys.
But he was very unlucky. He was discovered by Su Siru who was passing by, and he was tied up without saying a word.
Hearing this, Yuchi respectfully asked the leader to take him down, and coldly snorted: "What a game within a game that kills three birds with one stone!"
If it were the palace maid just now, Lihua would never have walked out of Tingliyuan, and she could tell the flaw in just a few words.
Lihua is alert, and when Xiaochan comes to pester her, she will definitely drag Lu Jieyu next door, and there will be no confusion.
The words of this palace maid officially confirmed Lihua’s suspicion that someone has been hiding in the dark and controlling everything.
This person not only knows Wu Fanger and Lihua, but also knows Linglong and her master very well.
This person treats the three parties as chess pieces, picks them up at will, and follows the trend, killing three birds with one stone, to get rid of them all.
Xiao Junzi and the calm palace maid belong to this person.
