Chapter 86 Preemption

Early the next morning, the old lady suddenly gathered the matan and maids in various courtyards. Since the old lady was not feeling well and has been resting, the royal palace has never had such a big battle.

Everyone arrived. Qin Yunuan quietly stood aside with Man'er and Ting Xue. The old lady leaned on a cushioned Zen chair on the steps and closed her eyes to refresh her mind.

The mandarin duck looked around the servants full of the yard and said with a fierce look, "Yesterday, an extremely precious incense wooden box suddenly disappeared. The maids and servants in Jiyuxuan have checked it, but still haven't been found. This thing is extremely valuable. If any of you have seen it, it is very So, which hands and feet are not clean? For a moment, she became greedy and handed it over honestly. The old lady can not blame the past. If not, then don't blame the old lady for not remembering everyone's old feelings of doing their best for the royal palace.

Most of the people below are submissive, but only a few old ladies who have worked in the royal palace for 40 years speak confidently: "Old lady, you are so unfair. If the third young lady loses something, she will suspect all of us. If it is really treated equally, why not pull the people in the side concubine's yard? What about questioning?"

Immediately, someone echoed and shouted, "Yes, I don't see the people in Sun's courtyard. Look, our palace has never lost such a valuable thing before Sun's wife married. Who knows if the maid in the yard is dishonest."

"Shut up." The old lady suddenly shouted coldly and opened her eyes. Her eyes, which had experienced countless vicissitudes and ups and downs, flashed with wisdom and coldness. The mandarin ducks have been searched for me.

"I don't accept it." The first noisy mother shouted, "Although the third young lady is both Princess Ping and a member of the Shangguan family, you can't bully people like this. If you want to search, you have to search from the yard of Sun's concubine. We are all old people in the Ning Palace, and only the details of the yard are unknown."

Suddenly, the call to check the people around Sun Baozhen first sounded. Qin Yunuan looked at the old lady silently. This was the purpose of her and the old lady. Qin Yunuan showed a light smile on the corners of her mouth. Judging from what happened before, the Sun family's methods were everywhere. This time, she did not take the first and would be attacked sooner or later. Clamping

Sun Baozhen's winter spring courtyard was quiet at this time. Sun Baozhen got up early, and the maid Xiuru was combing her hair with broken temples. Sun Baozhen picked up a ruby pomegranate flower hairpin in the makeup box, which was her favorite one. The gemstone was shiny and round, and the pomegranate shape was gorgeous and lovely.

"The side concubine," Xiuru whispered, "the side concubine is now a married woman, and she can no longer wear such gorgeous jewelry."

Sun Baozhen was slightly angry, speechless, and listened to Xiuru's submissiveness: "Madam added a box of jade jewelry to the dowry, saying that it was left for the concubine to wear when she served tea to the old lady."

As Xiuru said, she opened a small box tremblingly and handed it to Sun Baozhen. Sun Baozhen only glanced at it and saw that it was dignified and generous, but the old dark green emerald hairpins and jade bracelets. She replied lightly, "I'm still so young that I'm going to wear such an old-fashioned thing."

"The side concubine."

Sun Baozhen shook her head and sighed. She knew her situation: "Ok, dress up for me and wear this hairpin." Sun Baozhen took out a hairpin from inside without looking at it. For her, there is no difference in this box of jewelry.

At this time, the maid serving outside suddenly ran in breathlessly and gambled: "The side concubine, it's not good. The mother beside the old lady brought a lot of people and said that she wanted to search the side concubine's yard."

Sun Baozhen stared and suddenly shook off Xiu Ru's hand combing her hair. The exquisite jade hairpin was broken into three sections.

"What does Ge Yunying mean by giving me such a horse on the second day of marriage?"

Hearing this, Xiuru quickly covered Sun Baozhen's mouth and said, "Side concubine, you can't call the old lady's name like this."

Sun Baozhen's temper is irritable, but because she is the best in the Sun family, she has always been the key target of Mrs. Sun's training, and Xiuru is a maid carefully selected by Mrs. Sun for Sun Baozhen. Xiuru is careful and has martial arts skills, and will be Sun Baozhen's most effective helper in the royal palace.

Outside, it was already lively. The powerful Mother beside the old lady was arguing with the maid beside Sun Baozhen.

"Since you have entered our Ning Palace, you have to follow the rules of the Ning Palace. Now that the whole Royal Palace is investigating, how can Sun's courtyard be an exception?"

"What on earth has been dropped? If we find it, we can just send it to the third young lady."

"It's the heirloom of the old lady to the third young grandmother, priceless." M Mother's attitude is very resolute.

"Since the whole house is searching, our yard can't be special." I don't know when Sun Baozhen came out of the room. She was dressed in a plain blue golden dress, and her belt was tightly tied, outlining the girl's figure. Although the clothes were gorgeous, they were less lively and looked a little dull.

"The side concubine." When the maids outside saw Sun Baozhen coming out, they naturally bowed their knees.

Sun Baozhen glanced at the old man and said, "M Mother, please."

Naturally, the old lady would not be polite and went into the inner courtyard with the maid. As soon as Sun Baozhen's eyes signaled, Xiu Ru immediately followed. Sun Baozhen entered the house. Although she did not have time to do anything in the house to trace the whereabouts of the fourth map, she could never be labeled by others because of this search.

The winter spring courtyard is not too big, but this M Mother still searched inside and outside for a long time and searched very carefully. She still didn't find anything. Even Sun Baozhen's house was carefully checked.

"This Mama can also go back to the old lady." Sun Baozhen smiled at the corners of her mouth.

"Wait," the old lady suddenly said, "there is still a place that hasn't been searched," she glanced at Xiuru beside her and said, "That's Miss Xiuru's own house."

Sun Baozhen snorted coldly and expected that there would be nothing in Xiuru's room. She knew well that Xiuru's character and the people in her yard were one in a hundred.

Mama immediately took people into Xiuru's room, and the bedding cabinet was not allowed. Before long, a little maid pointed to an upside-down copper basin and said, "There is a wooden box here."

Sun Baozhen's eyebrows tightened, but she had seen the little maid come out with a palm-sized incense wooden box. The little maid looked boldly at Sun Baozhen, and Sun Baozhen immediately woke up. She remembered that the maid was the inconspicuous little man who had been following Qin Yunuan, who seemed to be called Xi'er.

The leading M Mother took a look: "Yes, it's this wooden box."

Sun Baozhen's anger has ignited, but she still tries to keep calm: "Mary, what does this mean?"

The leading mother said respectfully, "Please also ask the side concubine and this maidservant to go."

Xiuru's face had long been pale. She never thought of why an inexplicable wooden box appeared in her room. She looked so tightly that these searchers had no chance to do anything.

"Side concubine, Xiuru is innocent. You want to save Xiuru."

Sun Baozhen didn't look at Xiuru, but looked at Xi'er, who looked indifferent and slightly happy: "Don't worry, if someone deliberately harms you, I won't spare her."

In the Hexiang courtyard, the cold frost returned the latest news. In the small pavilion, Qin Yunuan and the old lady sat in front of the chessboard. There was an endgame on the chessboard. Few people could solve it. The old lady loved playing chess and solved countless disks, but this one has never been unsolved.

"Sun's concubine has come this way."

The old lady nodded, and her attention was still on the chessboard. Qin Yunuan could not play chess, but this time the old lady was interested and asked her to learn while watching.

"Do you know that my sister once said that I am bold, so I am not suitable for playing chess." The old lady held Baizi in her hand and wavered, "But I think you are bolder."

"Preemptive," Qin Yunuan followed the old lady to slowly interpret the endgame. "Yu Nuan doesn't feel that she is taking risks."

The old lady didn't look up: "Come and see this mess. If it's you, how can you break it?"

Qin Yunuan only knows some of the rules of Go. She only knows that in this endgame, in fact, Heizi has forced Baizi into a desperate situation. No matter what step Baizi takes, Heizi has a way to force Baizi to die again. This is why there are only two people in the world who can solve this mess.

"Well, you don't know chess either." The old lady looked at Qin Yunuan for a long time without saying anything, and shook her head.

"Yu Nuan knew," Qin Yu Nuan suddenly smiled and suddenly swept down the black and white pieces on the chessboard to the ground with her hand. The sound of the crackling chess pieces falling was very harsh. "Old lady, this is Yu Nuan's cracking method."

The old lady was a little stunned, but she heard Qin Yunuan say word by word, "Since you are in a desperate situation, you don't have to abide by the rules and fight to the death to survive."

The old lady's eyes looking at Qin Yunuan became deeper and deeper, and at this time, the mandarin duck had whispered: "Old lady, the third young lady, the side concubine is coming."

Qin Yunuan smiled and looked back to see that Sun Baozhen had appeared dignifiedly on the small steps of the pavilion. The shallow smile was quite like a mother-in-law.

"My daughter-in-law has met the old lady." Sun Baozhen slowly saluted, and suddenly said harshly to Xiuru behind him, "Bitch, why don't you kneel down quickly?"

Facing Sun Baozhen's sudden change of face, Xiuru seemed a little panicked: "Husband...Madam."

"Kneel down!" Sun Baozhen's tone was extremely serious.
