Chronicle of Emperor Jing

Chapter 172 Mysterious theft

"Chen..." Wei Yan didn't know how to answer the emperor's question.

If he said yes, he was fooling the emperor. If he said no, he was obviously fooling the emperor by saying that just now.

The words he said were actually clichés with no real content, such as pretending to be elegant. He had experienced it long ago in order to help Qi Yuanheng and Miss Hongyu get rid of her citizenship, so he naturally knew what to do.

However, he never had this string in his bones. Once he started to do things, he had to forget this point. On that day in Yuncheng, in order to protect the safety of the emperor, the emperor's residence, the famous garden in the south - Wu Garden, Under his signal, he was shoveled into flat ground by Yao Zhifu, which is the proof.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to say anything, I know." Seeing Wei Yan's expression, Jing Li knew that he was thinking too much.

Expecting Wei Yan to understand such things as elegance and taste is almost as difficult as expecting a stone to bloom. He really shouldn't have such expectations.

He didn't ask Wei Yan for his opinion anymore. If he liked it, he would ask someone to put it in a box and take it to the Xishan Palace tomorrow. He guessed that what Wei Yan liked, he would ask someone to put it in another box for later. Send someone to Weiyan Mansion.

"Don't follow me, you won't be able to help you, and you're making trouble, go and sit over there." Jing Li saw Wei Yan smirking and following him step by step, gave him a disgusted look, and pushed him aside to sit go.

Wei Yan had no choice but to sit beside him for a while. He drank a few sips of tea and suddenly thought of something. He stood up and walked to the window and opened it.

In the past few days, the weather has cleared up, and the two little snowmen sitting side by side on the windowsill have almost melted.

Wei Yan's eyes fell on the concentric knot on Can Xue, he stretched out his hand, picked up the concentric knot, looked at it for a while, and laughed silently.

His Majesty the Emperor, sometimes he becomes so hateful that people really don't want to talk to him anymore, but the Emperor often makes him feel soft in his heart when it comes to some inexplicable things.

Wei Yan touched his body for a while, but couldn't find anything suitable. Finally, he untied the sachet on his waist, poured out the spices inside, and then undid the concentric knot and put it into the sachet.After packing it, he hesitated for a moment, then picked up the few black beans and put them in the sachet.

"Master Hou, come here and use something." Gao Yong led a few servants in and walked in, saw Marquis Yongning standing by the window, and beckoned him over.

"Okay, I'll come right now." Wei Yan tied the sachet to his waist again, closed the window, and walked over.

"It's almost time to eat, I used too much snacks, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat lunch, so the old slave asked someone to prepare some dried fruit." Gao Yong watched the waiter put small plates on the table, and said to Wei Yan explained.

"There is Mr. Lao Gao."

"As long as Master Hou likes it, the pine nuts and torreya nuts presented as tribute this year are all good. Master Hou can try them."

"it is good."

Wei Yan sat down, took a few pine nuts from a small plate, and ate them slowly, while his eyes were fixed on the emperor's movements.

The emperor is looking at the picture scroll.The servants unfolded the scrolls one by one in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at several of them in a row and assigned them one by one before the work was completed.

"Your Majesty, this old slave will wait for you to wash your hands." Gao Yong settled Wei Yan, then turned to serve the emperor again.

He is the confidant of the emperor's confidant. The so-called serving means that the emperor stretched out his hand, and he helped the emperor roll up his sleeves. At this time, his own little servant came forward with a basin in his hands.

Jing Li reached in, washed his hands, took a silk scarf and dried them before walking towards Wei Yan.

Gao Yong followed him, putting down his sleeves all the way, and then walked behind him.

"What are you eating?" Jing Li sat next to Wei Yan and looked at the dishes on the coffee table.

"It's pine nuts, do you want to taste it, Your Majesty?" Wei Yan opened his palms to show the emperor.

Jing Li took one from his palm and threw it into his mouth.

"It's okay." He tasted the taste before saying.

"Your Majesty, this old slave will help you peel the shell." It is unrealistic to expect Marquis Yongning to do this kind of thing. He doesn't have this string in his mind. He thinks that he should serve the emperor like this. , Gao Yong could only volunteer.

"I'll do it myself." Jing Li waved his hand, signaling him not to be fussy, reached out and grabbed a handful of pine nuts from the small plate, and started nibbling slowly.

"Your Majesty, I'll help you peel it off." Hearing Manager Gao's words, Wei Yan finally came to his senses.

"No, there are some things, if others help, it will be less fun." Jing Li shook his head and rejected his kindness.

"Oh." Since the emperor didn't want it, Wei Yan didn't insist on it.

"Do you want to bring something there? Think about it now and let them tidy it up for you." Jing Li asked him again.

"Probably not." Wei Yan sounded a little hesitant, but he was actually quite sure in his heart.

His clothes and all kinds of personal items are taken care of by himself, so he doesn't have to worry about it. For other things, the emperor will help him worry about them. He just needs to bring himself there.

"Think about it carefully, if the things don't work, you won't be happy, and I won't be able to conjure things for you all at once." Seeing that he didn't care, Jing Li reminded him again.

"No." This time, Wei Yan's tone became affirmative.

He is no longer a pampered dandy, he can use whatever is there, how can he be unhappy because it doesn't fit?

The emperor's worries were clearly unfounded.

Jing Li, who was "worried about the sky", obviously hadn't finished worrying, and asked again: "Minwen, do you want to take it there?"

With Jing Li's heart, he definitely didn't want Wei Minwen to go with him, but in front of Wei Yan, he had to pretend that he was very generous, and he didn't mind Wei Minwen's attitude at all, so he took the initiative to bring up this matter. matter, and then waited for Wei Yan to refuse.

To his displeasure, Wei Yan groaned when he heard this. It was obvious that Wei Yan wanted to take Wei Minwen along with him.

The pine nuts in Jingli's mouth suddenly became tasteless, he endured and endured, and said: "If you want to take it with you, let someone go to the mansion to inform him in the afternoon, so as not to be in a hurry tomorrow, it's too late Prepare."

"No." Wei Yan pondered and pondered, and finally refused.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Jing Li felt relieved when he heard it, but he pretended to be.

"It's really unnecessary." Wei Yan refused again.

Hey, Wei Yan finally has the knowledge and interest. Knowing that he took Wei Yan to the Xishan Palace, he just wanted the two of them to stay for a while, and he didn't want others to disturb him?

"If you have nothing to do, let's go together. Minwen hasn't been to the Xishan Palace yet, right?" Since Jingli already knew these words, they were all gossip that could not have bad consequences, so he was more than happy to talk about it, to show his strength Tolerant and magnanimous.

"Minwen is busy these days. I'm afraid I don't have time to go to the Xishan Palace." Wei Yan often accompanied the emperor in the palace. Minwen took care of the affairs of the Marquis of Yongning. During the Chinese New Year, it was his eldest brother. Wei Ze took Min Wen to socialize with relatives and friends from all walks of life.

Wei Yan felt a little guilty when he thought of the thick stack of lists that Minwen showed him when he went back occasionally.

If he talked about this with Minwen, Minwen would never go with him. Instead, he would talk about him, and then let him stay aside in disdain. That attitude must be the same as the emperor's dislike of him just now. almost.

"It's really unnecessary. Minwen is very busy these days, so I won't make trouble for him." Wei Yan explained again.

When Jing Li heard this, all the happiness just now turned into unhappiness.The co-author was because Wei Minwen had something to do, so Wei Yan didn't take him there. If there was nothing to do, wouldn't he take him with him?

But a moment ago, he only pretended to be magnanimous, and now he cares about these things in a small way, which will inevitably make Wei Yan feel that he is stingy.

"That's really a pity." He said with a false smile, "Next time you have a chance, take him with you."

Hmph, he knows, next time, he will keep Wei Minwen busy, there will never be such a chance, Jing Li secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Okay." Wei Yan didn't know that he had so many thoughts in his heart, and thought he was telling the truth, so he nodded.

They chatted some gossips, and after lunch, Jing Li went to visit the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion, and bid farewell by the way, Wei Yan had a shift in the afternoon, so he went to sit at the guard's office.

When Jing Li came back from the Queen Mother, Wei Yan hadn't come back yet.

He dealt with several urgent matters, and after finishing his work, he went to sit in the living room for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and walked to the window.

He opened the window, looked at the window sill, and suddenly turned pale with shock.

At this time, there was nothing on the window sill, neither he and Wei Yandui's two little snowmen, nor the concentric knot he had tied with red silk thread that night.

"Come on!" He raised his voice and shouted.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Gao Yong asked anxiously when he saw that he was fine just now, but suddenly his face changed.

"Check carefully, who has been here in the past few days, a thief has come out of my palace." Jing Li looked at the window sill and said bitterly.

"Your Majesty, what is missing?" Gao Yong was also anxious.

There was a thief in the emperor's bedroom, and he, the head of the Qianqing Palace, was the first to be involved.

"My little snowman was stolen."

"Little snowman?" Gao Yong was stunned for a moment, he walked behind the emperor, looked at the window sill, and realized what the emperor was talking about, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, the weather has cleared these few days, and the little snowman may melt away." gone."

"Even if it melts away, what about the red silk thread that I tied for them that night?" Jing Li didn't believe his words at all, even if the snowman melted, the red silk thread wouldn't melt, how could it all disappear?

Gao Yong was immediately stopped by his question.

"Your Majesty, will the red thread be blown somewhere by the wind?" He searched for a while, but couldn't find it, so he could only remind the emperor in a low voice.

"Go, let someone find it."

When the emperor issued an order, the maids in the Qianqing Palace immediately turned their backs to find the two red silk threads. Even though they searched the entire bedroom inside and outside, the two red silk threads were still missing.

At first Gao Yong thought that there should be no thieves, but at this point, his heart is also beating drums.

He summoned all the serving maids in Qianqing Palace and began to speak.

"Who put away the red silk thread? Hurry up and hand it over. Now there is still room for change. If I find out, don't blame me for being ungrateful." He has served the emperor for many years and has been in charge of the Qing Palace for many years. Sheng.

If someone has ghosts in his heart, he can't escape his eyes, but he looked around, and these little bastards didn't even have a guilty conscience.

Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with them?

When he was having a headache about this, he suddenly heard someone from behind ask him:

"Director Gao, what happened?"
