Chapter 32 The Night Pearl is Missing (Second Update)

Sure enough, after listening to Xie Zhiruo's words, the bodyguards stopped and looked at her in disbelief and asked, "I can't tell you this nonsense. How can you, a low-class maid of honor, see the strange thief Tang Si?"

"I, I just saw it. He, he is going to steal in Zhaoyang Palace tonight, so I must tell the prince about this situation."

"Head, how can people believe her words as a low-class maid of honor? It's true that we'd better kick her out quickly. Don't let her really disturb the prince's rest. We can't bear the sin.

"Yes, boss, let's go on patrol. The guard of Zhaoyang Palace is so strict. I don't believe that the strange thief Tang Si can fly."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Zhiruo really wanted to say that the strange thief Tang Si can really fly!

The bodyguard beside him was talking, but the bodyguard leader was silent, as if he wanted to measure something.

"Okay, I'll believe you once. If there is no such thing at all, you know the consequences!" The bodyguard leader looked at Xie Zhiruo and said in a low voice.

"You continue to patrol, and you take her to the study of His Royal Highness with me."

"Yes." Although I feel that my head is completely boring to do this, it is my boss after all, and I dare not say anything more.

"The study? Didn't she rest in the princess's room? After listening to the place said by the bodyguard, Xie Zhiruo muttered doubtfully.

"What, what are you doing there? Do you still want me to treat you?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

In Mu Yunting's study, Mu Yunting was sitting at the desk and seriously reviewing the medal.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. You'd better rest earlier." Xiao Huazi, the eunuch who was waiting beside him, saw Mu Yunting rubbing his temples slightly tiredly, and hurried forward to persuade him softly.

"There are still so many that I haven't finished reading. Let's watch it for a while." Mu Yunting shook his head and said that as early as half a year ago, the emperor had begun to let him start to help him read the medals. At the beginning, it was only a small number, but now most of the medals have come to Mu Yunting. In addition, there have been a series of things happening in China in recent days, which has made many people unable to live in peace, and there are more things waiting for him to deal with.

When Xiao Huazi heard the words, he knew that it was useless to persuade him again, so he stepped aside and said no more.

'I don't know if that bitch is dead.' Somehow, such a sentence suddenly flashed in Mu Yunting's mind.

"Your Highness, someone outside the courtyard is asking for a meeting."

"What kind of person came so late? There is really no rule! You can know what the charge is for disturbing His Royal Highness!" Xiao Huazi asked.

"Who is it?" Mu Yunting did not look up and asked without ups and downs.

"Your Highness wants to see you?" Xiao Huazi bowed forward and asked.

"That's all. Let people in." Mu Yunting also felt a little tired and said after closing the chapter in his hand.

"It's the slave who understands. Let that man in."

Soon after, Xie Zhiruo and the two bodyguards were taken into Mu Yunting's study.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince."

Mu Yunting raised his head. When he saw Xie Zhiruo, who was limping, he first wondered why she was in this place, and then he felt that this woman dared to disobey her orders and left the place where she was punished to kneel. At that moment, he felt very angry.

"Who gave you the right to leave the Star Pavilion? You are getting bolder and bolder!"

Xie Zhiruo was a little scared when she came in. She was very worried that Mu Yunting would be furious and make things difficult for her when she saw her. But at the thought of her purpose, she encouraged herself not to be so afraid.

"But did you two bring this bitch?" Originally, Mu Yunting had a frosty face, but now he looks even worse with such a big fire.

The two bodyguards were constantly trembling with fear, and they said intermittently, "Go back, it's your Highness the prince who brought her. She said that she saw the strange thief Tang Si tonight, and her subordinates were worried that what she said was true, so they took her to His Royal Highness and hoped that the Prince would verify the matter.

Hearing the bodyguard mention the strange thief Tang Simu Yunting's dark eyes flashed.

"If it's really Tang Si, the strange thief, you vigil guards didn't find it, but a maid with no power to bind a chicken found out. What's the purpose of raising you in this palace!"

Hearing Mu Yunting ask the bodyguard's leader, he was really regretful. If he hadn't thought that this might be an opportunity to make contributions, he would not have believed Xie Zhiruo's words with the mentality of trying. If Xie Zhiruo is just talking nonsense, then he can't wait to walk! If the strange thief Tang Si has really come, it is that they are incompetent and they don't even find anyone. He is really inconsiderate!

"I didn't, I didn't lie, I, I really met the strange thief Tang Si..." I didn't want to hurt two bodyguards because of myself. Xie Zhiruo summoned up her courage and said to Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting looked at Xie Zhiruo with cold eyes and asked in a low voice, "You said you really saw the strange thief Tang Si. Why do I believe you?"

"I, I..." Xie Zhiruo stared at Mu Yunting speechless for a moment, because there was really no evidence that she had seen Tang Si.

Seeing this, Mu Yunting sneered and said, "What? Can't say it? So what the hell are you doing here? Do you want me to see your disgusting appearance? Are you really not ashamed at all?"

Xie Zhiruo couldn't say a word when she was asked. She wanted to say no. She really met the strange thief Tang Si, but she felt that her throat seemed to be choked by something and couldn't say anything. She could only look at Mu Yunting so stupidly.

"Don't look at me with the kind of eyes that make me pity you, because it will make me feel very disgusting!"

"I really, really saw the strange thief Tang Si. I, I didn't lie..." The feeling of not being believed made her feel very wronged. Speaking of Xie Zhiruo's voice was a little choked.

"Well, this palace is not such a cold-blooded person. As long as you can show evidence that you have seen the strange thief Tang Si, or the evidence that the strange thief Tang Si has come to Zhaoyang Palace, this palace will no longer pursue your affairs today, how about it?"

Evidence... Xie Zhiruo frowned in distress. What evidence can she have? She has also taken the pill given to her by the strange thief Tang Si, and there is nothing on her body that can prove what she said.

"I, I have no evidence..."

"There is no evidence that you are lying. Tell me, how do you want me to punish you this time?" Mu Yunting's eyes were full of sarcasm and looked at Xie Zhiruo and said, as if he had expected that she would say so.

"He, he came to Zhaoyang Palace to steal things. If the treasure in Zhaoyang Palace is lost, does it mean that the thief Tang Si has come?" Xie Zhiruo said that her voice became a little weak, as if she wanted things in Zhaoyang Palace to be stolen.

"Good! I will let someone check it now. If no treasure is lost, what do you think I should do with you?

"If, if not, if not, I..."

"Well, I have my own way to torture you then!"

After saying that, Mu Yunting turned to the palace man beside him and ordered, "Do a good job of thoroughly investigate the treasures in Zhaoyang Palace. If there is any missing, come and report it as soon as possible!"

"Yes."

"Xiao Huazi, you immediately take someone to the crown princess to see if the night pearl paid tribute to the west is still there."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When everyone retreated, there were only Xie Zhiruo and Mu Yunting left in the room.

Although she is very afraid to see Mu Yunting's angry face and hates her eyes, she can't help looking at Mu Yunting, because only when she sees this face will she continue to cheer herself up and let herself not give up. Sooner or later she will be such an enviable happy little woman!

Mu Yunting glanced at Xie Zhiruo with disgust. If it weren't for waiting for the result, he would not be willing to stay in the same room with this woman.

"Close your eyes and don't let me see your disgusting face!"

"I..."

"This is my order! Otherwise, get out of here!"

"Yes..." Xie Zhiruo cherishes the time with Mu Yunting. Although she can't open her eyes to see the face she is longing for, she can feel that she is very close to him, which is much better than not seeing him at all.

Mu Yunting went back to the chair and picked up the chapter on the table and began to look at it. Although his eyes had been looking at the chapter, he didn't read a word. As long as the woman appeared, he would feel irritable and there was no way to calm down. This cognition made him feel very annoyed.

The two of them stayed quietly without saying a word. After a cup of tea, there were gradually messy footsteps outside the house.

"Your Highness, the night pearl paid tribute to the Western Kingdom is gone!" Outside the door was Xiao Huazi's shrill voice. When he spoke, he was still gasping for breath. It seemed that he ran back all the way.

In the room, Mu Yunting threw the medal in his hand on the table and frowned and stood up. What did you say? It's gone?" The surprise in the tone is greater than the anger. It is reasonable to know that Ye Mingzhu has been stolen. It should be more angry.

Xie Zhiruo, who closed her eyes at this time, also opened her eyes. Did her hunch really come true? Tang Si really came to steal that night pearl!

"Tang Si, the strange thief, left this in the room." With that, Xiao Huazi presented the leaf-shaped dart to Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting took the dart and looked at it and held it tightly in his hand. That man is really fast. It seems that he still underestimates him!
