I have to say that fools are not common in the palace. Only a little maid next to the tenth prince is so scheming.
By saying this, she left the matter of the tenth prince's disappearance to Concubine Shu.
If anything happens to the tenth prince, even if he is not found in Qingyan Palace, Concubine Shu will be responsible.
If another person took advantage of her, it would be said that Concubine Shu was pregnant with Long Zi and wanted to win favor, so she killed the tenth prince. Then it would be impossible to explain clearly.
Si Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu didn't have much idea, she just ordered people to go to the yard to find someone.
When things got so bad, Si Ning couldn't leave and stayed to talk to Concubine Shu.
The palace maid Hong'er who was waiting in front of the Tenth Prince was also in the room, looking out from time to time.
After a cup of tea, grandma walked in.
"Reporting to the Queen, there is no sign of the tenth prince."
Not surprising!
The tenth prince came to Qingyan Palace with her own eyes, so how could he find anyone in Qingyan Palace?
But I still have to say what I need to say, "You've found everything, are you sure you haven't seen the tenth prince?"
Grandma nodded and replied affirmatively.
"I've searched inside and outside, and I really haven't seen the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince is always happy, so he must have gone elsewhere to play..."
"impossible!"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Hong'er. Hong'er's face was so anxious that she looked at Concubine Shu in a panic and said.
"My dear Concubine Shu, the slaves and maids saw with their own eyes that the Tenth Prince entered Qingyan Palace, and they never left again after that."
Concubine Shu lost her patience and slapped the table next to her hard.
"Nonsense, do you mean that our Qingyan Palace hid the tenth prince secretly? It is true that the tenth prince did come to Qingyan Palace and later left. This was seen by everyone in the palace. At that time Didn't you see it?"
Concubine Shu has always had a bad temper, which is no longer a secret in the palace, and the servants are all afraid of her.
But Hong'er had no intention of giving in at all, her face didn't even change, and she said with determination.
"It's true that the tenth prince went out, and then jumped in from behind. This is what the slaves saw. Concubine Shu, the tenth prince is the emperor's most beloved prince. If there is really something wrong with him, let alone the slaves, it is Shu. The concubine will also be implicated..."
These words were clearly threatening, and even Si Ning, an outsider, felt uncomfortable hearing them, let alone Concubine Shu herself.
But Concubine Shu changed her previous temper and looked at the palace maid with a sneer.
"Okay, then let's search carefully. Why don't we ask you people from Chaoxing Palace to come to my Qingyan Palace to search too?"
The palace maid pretended to be frightened, but her tone did not reveal any panic at all, and she half-bent her body to reply to Concubine Shu's words.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, is trying to destroy the slaves. Without an imperial edict, the slaves would not dare to do anything wrong. However, please ask everyone in the Imperial Palace to go find someone. The matter is very important, and I am sure that I will not do it at this time." Just worry about this little thing."
It’s clear that I won’t give up until I find the tenth prince!
Concubine Shu nodded, "Okay, very good. Let's take her to search Qingyan Palace again. Don't leave even a stone behind. If we can't find anyone, I'll go to the emperor to ask if it's something." Anyone can bully me to the point of Qingyan Palace!"
"Concubine Shu, don't worry. If the tenth prince is not in your palace, I will apologize to the emperor."
A palace maid dared to argue with Concubine Shu like this. Si Ning felt that either the tenth prince was so favored that he took advantage of others, or that Concubine Shu's favor was fake, otherwise the slaves would not dare to act so strangely.
Si Ning felt that the latter was more likely, but these were not things she should consider.
She just wanted to stay away from the palace, and it was best not to come in for the rest of her life.
"I don't know who this is..."
But some things were destined not to go as she wished. When her thoughts were drifting away, Hong'er hit her.
Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, as if she was protecting Si Ning.
"What does this have to do with you? Do everyone in this palace have to report to you?"
The palace goddess shook her head emotionlessly, "Concubine Shu, I have misunderstood. If it is convenient for this lady, I might as well help find someone. If one more person contributes, there will be more hope, right?"
It was because I was looking for someone!
"This is my guest..."
"I wonder if this madam can help find the tenth prince. Since you are a distinguished guest of Concubine Shu, you must be willing to do this for Concubine Shu, right?"
Concubine Shu was not given a chance to refuse, and she directly complained to Si Ning.
When the other party spoke, Si Ning could not refuse, so he could only nod.
"Mrs. Lu..."
Concubine Shu stopped her, and Si Ning winked at her, telling her not to worry.
Concubine Shu nodded secretly and said in a calm voice.
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's getting dark soon. General Lu should be anxious at home."
"Yes, concubine."
After Si Ning followed Hong'er and left, all the color on Concubine Shu's face faded.
The fingers on the chair turned white, and my heart was uneasy.
When Si Ning and Hong'er came out, they saw palace maids and servants in every corner of the courtyard.
Hong'er looked sideways at Si Ning and said in a calm tone.
"Since we are already looking for him in the yard, why don't you, Madam, follow me to the back to take a look. The Tenth Prince may be naughty and hiding in a certain room."
Si Ning did not refuse and followed Hong'er around the front yard and towards the row of wing rooms at the back.
The two of them started looking for it from the easternmost wing, and didn't stop until they reached the westernmost wing. "This is the last room. The Tenth Prince shouldn't be in this room. Why don't we go to the front and take a look?"
There was only one last room left, but he didn't go in to take a look. He looked completely different from the one who was just looking for someone in a hurry.
At this moment, Si Ning's mind became clear.
She had already guessed that this game was not only for Concubine Shu, but also for her part!
The palace maid made such a long circle just to lead her to this room.
She guessed that the tenth prince must be in this room, but what method would they use to get her in?
As expected, there are many talented people in this palace, and none of their plans are as easy to guess as Li Xutang and others.
Si Ning wanted to leave, but when she left, Concubine Shu was left to face everything alone.
The drama has already begun. If a few people are not brought in, how can the people behind it just let it go?
She has no sense of justice and is not a good person, but she doesn't want to hurt others because of herself.
Although today's game seems to be aimed at Concubine Shu, if you don't do it early, you won't do it later. You have to wait until she enters the palace to do something like this...
If he said it wasn't specially arranged for her, she wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.
Since it was aimed at her, if she didn't fall into the trap, how would she know how to break it?
So she said to the palace maid, "Since there is the last room left, why not go in and have a look too, it won't waste much time!"
