[019]Lost

Chu Yuan was shocked. Only she and Mother Lu had the key to the warehouse. Of course, she could trust it. Only she and Qingzhu took her key in this box. Who would unknowingly carry away the batch of jade?

Chu Yuan only felt that there was a blank in the mess. She didn't know where to start. Who made such a move for her at such a juncture, which made her almost unable to counter her.

She only felt a mess wrapped in her heart. No matter how she looked for it, she couldn't find the thread of the hemp rope. The more she struggled, the tighter she would be. She was so distressed, and the person who wanted her was probably looking at her in the dark. If she couldn't find the jade, it didn't matter. The important thing was that she had been with the empress dowager for so long. Everything that has been set up will be destroyed, and she only has three days left!

When Chu Yuan limped back to her yard, she was writing something in the room. When she heard the sound, she exclaimed!

"Girl!"

The pendant'er's face was extremely entangled. She hurriedly came over to change Qingzhu's hand and said thank you for helping her back to the room. Qingzhu understood the meaning of the pendant'er, and the corners of his mouth saluted and retreated.

"Girl, where did you get here? Why did you hurt your foot at night?"

Chu Yuan looked at her entangled little eyebrows and smiled, "Now it doesn't matter to me whether my foot is hurt or not. Someone wants to hurt me!"

When she just walked into the room, her eyes changed. She helped Chu Yuan sit down on the main seat. "What does the girl mean? Who is going to hurt you, and how to hurt you?"

Chu Yuan sighed, and as a result, she gently took a sip of the tea in her hand. She frowned deeply and thought about who she had offended in the palace. However, after thinking about it, there was only one person in her heart, that was Xiuhe!

But seeing Tian Xiuhe's performance, she did gloat more, and she didn't have a key, and there were not so many people who unconsciously sent her jade away!

Looking at Chu Yuan's thoughtless look, she was slightly distressed, "Girl, what's the matter?"

Chu Yuan looked at the pendant and said slowly, "A batch of jade needed for the empress dowager's birthday banquet suddenly disappeared. If this happened to the empress dowager and the emperor, it would naturally be big and small. Now Xiuhe found it first. She said that if I can't find that batch of jade within three days, I must let the emperor condemn me!"

The faller's face changed greatly, "It's the girl's fault!" After a slight pause, she said, "Looking at the girl, I'm afraid it's not easy to do."

Chu Yuan nodded, "Yes, only Mother Lu and I have the key to the warehouse. After thinking about it, I still have no clue."

The pendant frowned, "Did the girl go to the warehouse to see it?"

Chu Yuan shook her head and said, "It's been Qingzhu taking care of me these days. It was only when I came back with a broken foot that I learned about it."

When she heard the words, she immediately sneered, "I have long felt that Qingzhu is unreliable. In just a few days, I immediately caused you trouble. I don't know if she is guarding and stealing."

It's not that Chu Yuan didn't think about this, but after careful consideration, it was impossible. She stood up and said, "Let's go to the warehouse to have a look."

"But it's very late."

Chu Yuan sighed, "This is big and small. I don't want to give up all my previous achievements."

What can I do? The pendant sighed and immediately helped her out of the courtyard.

The warehouse was at the innermost end of the Yongshou Palace. The two went there together and walked to the door. The two little eunuchs who were dozed off and coughed gently. The two little eunuchs immediately woke up. As soon as they saw Chu Yuan coming, they immediately knelt to the ground. "Miss Chu is coming, the little ones will never dare anymore."

Chu Yuan didn't know their hard work. She just waved her hand and said, "Get up."

Seeing that the two people looked the same, Chu Yuan said, "You all know that there is nothing missing in this library. You'd better not say anything before I find out this matter, so as not to cause trouble for yourself."

The two eunuchs nodded repeatedly, "The little ones understand that Miss Qingzhu has also explained that this matter must not be spread indiscriminately."

Chu Yuan nodded, "You have been guarding this Kumen. Now there is something missing in it. You can't get rid of it. Think about it. Is there anything abnormal here recently? If there is, report it to me."

The two little eunuchs naturally understood the truth. They frowned and thought for a long time, but they still had no clue. They kept shaking their heads. "The little ones have been here all the time and never dare to walk away. During this period, they have not found anything abnormal. Please forgive me!"

Chu Yuan was even more suspicious in her heart, "This jade disappeared without a trace?!"

The pendant stood beside her and looked at the boundless man carefully a few times. "This lock and so on are all good. There are bodyguards patrolling back and forth around, which can't be forced."

Chu Yuan naturally saw these in her eyes. She nodded and took out the key to look at Kumen. "You guard it again. I'll go in and have a look."

After saying that, Chu Yuan entered the door with the pendant. The two little eunuchs looked at each other and looked a little guilty. It was just a moment, and then turned into a fearful look.

The two people who entered the treasury really looked at the place where the original tone was empty at this time. After thinking about it, they had to raise the topic just now, "Girl, Mother Lu is an old man in the palace. She is loyal to the empress dowager and good to you. Naturally, she will not return you, but this green bamboo, although you saved her earlier. She didn't follow you until after her, but I don't think she can be trusted. Why didn't you make a problem when you brought the key yourself now, but you had such a big problem as soon as she got it?

"What's more, the door locks and so on are excellent. The Qingzhu and the little eunuch who guard the door are also very close to each other. If several people work together, it's reasonable to guard and steal themselves. Girl, think about it."

Chu Yuan quietly inspected the warehouse for half a minute, and there was still not much clue in her mind. She thought about it and shook her head. "Qingzhu is indeed untrustworthy, but this batch of jade is not small. If there is no connection and no courage, I will not dare to hit his attention. You think that two eunuchs and a maid of honor are Can it be made?"

The corners of her mouth curled, but she didn't know how to refute it. She could only follow Chu Yuan to walk around the library.

"Girl, it's only three days. What if the empress dowager knows you three days later?"

Chu Yuan naturally thought of it, and her eyes were shining, "Why wait for three days? I will go back tomorrow morning to tell the Empress Dowager. It's my fault. If I let the Empress Dowager know in advance, it will make her feel that I trust her."

The pendant thought for a moment, "What's the most important thing is what about that batch of jade? If it is missing from the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, it will be more sinful than losing something!"

This is what Chu Yuan is most worried about now. Her eyebrows moved, "Why has the son of Nangong rarely come into the palace recently?"

Huan'er knew what she thought, "Does the girl mean to ask Nangong Shizi for help?"

Chu Yuan sighed deeply, "What else can I do but find him now?" The jade is all made by the Lan family, a century-old carved jade family in Daqin. The jade is even better Hetian jade. It only has three days. I don't know if he can do it.

When she heard the words, her eyes moved, and immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the son of the world is powerful, and he will definitely help you tide over this crisis."

Chu Yuan sighed. It was not that he didn't believe in Nangong Li. It was really not easy to find this jade, and it took more time to make. From Daqin to Dayan, it took at least more than half a month, and she only had three days!

She didn't sleep well all night. Early in the morning, Chu Yuan, accompanied by the falling son, limped to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, so that as soon as the Empress Dowager woke up and heard that she had been waiting outside for more than half an hour, she immediately fell in love, and immediately called someone to invite her in.

When Chu Yuan entered the door, the empress dowager was dressing up. When she stood up, she was seen by the empress dowager, "What's wrong with your foot--"

Chu Yuan shook her head, "The old empress dowager is upset. This foot was scratched in the warehouse earlier. It doesn't matter."

As soon as the voice fell, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and there was not much worry between her eyebrows. Chu Yuan saw that the dressing subordinate was about to give her hair. The corners of her mouth hooked, "If the Empress Dowager doesn't dislike it, why don't you let Chu Yuan turn her hair for the Empress Dowager?"

The Empress Dowager's eyebrows moved, and the corners of her mouth rose, "Okay, I haven't seen your craftsmanship yet."

The maid of honor immediately retreated to one side. Chu Yuan stepped forward and silently alienated the bun for the empress dowager. Although the empress dowager was more than 40 years old, her hair was very well maintained. A trace of hair was still black and shiny. Chu Yuan had received knowledge of hairstyles in her previous life. At this time, a little use could give the empress dowager a brand new one. Hair style.

"Empress Dowager, are you satisfied?"

The Empress Dowager looked at herself in the mirror and felt several years younger in an instant. Women are all beautiful, especially women in high positions like her.

"Woman, why do you think you know everything? It really opened the eyes of the family. You are so powerful that the family is reluctant to let you go."

Chu Yuan took a step back and knelt down. "The Empress Dowager praised it. In fact, Chu Yuan came today to plead guilty to the Empress Dowager."

When she saw Chu Yuan kneeling on the ground, the Empress Dowager's face changed. Hearing what she said, her eyes were even more shocked. She stretched out her hand to help Chu Yuan up, but Chu Yuan lowered her head. The Empress Dowager was stunned and thought that this matter must be a big deal!

" girl, don't be afraid, tell me what happened to you?"

Chu Yuan lay on the ground, and there was a slight trembling in her voice. "Empress Dowager, Chu Yuan has your trust. The day before yesterday, she sent a batch of jade from Daqin. It was originally stored in the warehouse, but now it is gone!"

The theft of the harem is a big deal, not to mention the jade used in this batch of empress dowager's birthday banquet!

The Empress Dowager immediately looked fierce, "What do you mean? Let's talk about it in detail."

Chu Yuan muttered slightly and told the empress dowager the story of the theft of jade in detail.

"Hey--"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager sighed, she still leaned over and helped Chu Yuan up, "Get up first."

Chu Yuan was full of shame on her face. She lowered her head and dared not look at the empress dowager's eyes. The empress dowager looked distressed. Even if she said, "Don't be afraid, don't worry. The mourning family is angry because such things actually appeared in the mourning palace. I know it's not your fault. Who would have thought that there were people who were unclean hands and feet in my Yongshou Palace!" "

Chu Yuan shook her head, "No, it's all Chu Yuan's careless."

This made the Empress Dowager laugh. She shook her head. "Woman, aren't you ready to stand at the door of the warehouse all the time? If a thief wants to steal something, he can't prevent it!"

When Chu Yuan saw that the Empress Dowager said so, her heart was slightly relieved. However, when the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, Xiuhe came.

Obviously, Xiuhe was very surprised to see Chu Yuan here. She looked at the expressions on the empress dowager and Chu Yuan and knew what had happened. After saluted, she said casually, "I heard that something happened in the palace, Chu Yuan, don't be sad. The empress dowager will definitely protect you. Even if the emperor wants to treat you, the empress dowager will not be allowed. . "

This seemed to be unintentional, but it really tightened the Empress Dowager's hand. Now he has a tense relationship with the emperor. If the emperor really wants to treat Chu Yuan, how can she help?

Chu Yuan looked at Xiu He's successful appearance and the relieved breath in her heart slowly floated up again, and it was very uncomfortable to block her heart.

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Please don't worry, Empress Dowager. Chu Yuan doesn't dare to embarrass you. Three days later, if Chu Yuan hasn't found out this matter, she will go to the emperor to plead guilty."

The Empress Dowager's eyes moved slightly when she heard it, and Chu Yuan just thought that no matter what, she should make a full gesture. Even if it was really punished, the Empress Dowager would definitely help her.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to see the Empress Dowager finally end in this way. The disappointment in Chu Yuan's heart could be imagined, and she was even more defensive to Xiu He.

Her heart was still in chaos when she came out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom. She didn't expect that something would go wrong, which really caught her off guard.

After falling behind her, she naturally knew her distress and immediately said, "Didn't the girl say that she wanted to see the son of Nangong? Why don't you go outside the emperor's Qiande Palace?"

This reminder was extremely inadvertent. Chu Yuan seemed to see the blue sky through the fog in her heart. At least she could ask Nangong Li for help!

In this way, Chu Yuan went straight to Qiande Palace with her pendant. This time was the time when all the officials went down. She was invisible behind a stone statue and watched the officials slowly walk out of the palace.

It seemed that she didn't see the shadow of Nangong Li. Just when Chu Yuan thought that Nangong Li had not come and was gradually disappointed, a blue robe came into her vision. Seeing that Nangong Li was empty around, she went up.

"Give a good night to the son."

Nangong hasn't seen her for so many days. At this time, he didn't feel much disappointment when he saw her. He just looked at her with a faint smile. That look was too existential. Chu Yuan raised her eyes. When she looked at each other, she only felt that Nangong Li had seen her clearly, including her purpose today, which was invisible in front of him!

"Get up, I've been gone for several days. Are you in trouble?" With a slight pause, her eyes fell on her feet extremely tangled. "The posture I just walked in is really ugly. Why did you get hurt?"

Chu Yuan shook her head reluctantly, "It's just a careless one. It doesn't matter. Let's talk about it in another place."

In a pavilion in the Royal Garden, Chu Yuan talked about what happened in detail. Nangong Li's face became darker and darker, and suddenly he turned his head to look at her, "Fortunately, the emperor called me to discuss the matter today, otherwise it depends on what you do. Have you met the emperor many times these days?"

Chu Yuan didn't know why he asked this, but he answered obediently, "It's not a lot, but when the Empress Dowager asked me to send some supplements."

Nangong Li nodded when he heard the words, and his eyes retreated imperceptiblely. He frowned and thought, "Anyway, I have to find a batch of jade for you to fill this vacancy."

Chu Yuan was overjoyed, "The texture and workmanship of the jade are extremely rare. Are you sure you can help me find it?"

Nangong Li shook his head, "Of course I'm not sure. You can wait for my news. If I haven't sent any news to the palace in two days, you can wait to be punished by the emperor."

The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth rose uncontrollably, and she felt that it was good to have a backstage feeling. Although Nangong Li said so, she knew that he would try his best to find those jade objects for her.

With this meeting, the tension in Chu Yuan's heart has been removed a lot. During this period, in addition to the jade, she had a lot of things to do about the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Just when she was in deep trouble, the emperor's edict came again.

Chu Yuan was puzzled that when Nangong Li asked her about the emperor before, she more or less concealed it, because how could Nangong Che, as the emperor, play chess with a maid of honor, and how could she take a maid to Fenghuang Yufei Tower, and she even sneaked over alone.

Chu Yuan thought that this is no longer ordinary.

At this time, Chu Yuan did not know that it was because of her concealment, which laid the groundwork for the suffering after Nangong Li.

Grandpa Fu looked at Chu Yuan's smile was still so strange. When he saw her feet, he was quite concerned and asked a lot of questions. Normally, this was another unusual place. However, at this time, Chu Yuan was physically and mentally exhausted, and she didn't have so much time to think about this!

In the Qiande Palace, Chu Yuan bent her knees and saluted. Nangong Che sat in a high position and said "get up" lightly, which was a reply.

As soon as Chu Yuan got up, Nan Gongli's eyes fell on her body with a strong sense of existence. Chu Yuan couldn't help lowering her head, but she could feel that Nangong Li's eyes fell on her feet with great interest. Although the wounds on her feet had been covered by layers of skirts, her walking posture was also very mandatory and normal. Come back, but Nangong Che seemed to have a perspective eye, and repeatedly polished her ankle with his own eyes.

I don't know if it's psychological or something, Chu Yuan only felt that her ankle was getting more and more painful, which made her unbearable. She tiptoed slightly and let her injured left foot rest.

"What, does it hurt?"

A word of no yin, no yang, no cold or hot came. Chu Yuan's heart tightened, and she looked up and looked into a pair of dark eyes.
