Chapter 377 The Dragon Robe is Here

Xie Qing looked at the Fourth Prince with a half-smile and said, "It seems that Fourth Brother is so sure that I have hidden the so-called dragon robe. Now that I say I haven't hidden it, you won't believe it."

"You can search inside, but how about searching my Eastern Palace first, and then your Fourth Prince's Mansion?"

The Fourth Prince frowned and asked, "What is there to search in my Prince's Mansion?"

Xie Qing's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he asked with a smile: "Then what are you afraid of? Or do you really have something shameful over there? My Eastern Palace is appreciated by my father. Whether it can be used or not, my father will always give me some. Some things that violate the rules are not a problem. As for your Fourth Prince's Mansion..."

There is nothing against the rules in the Fourth Prince's mansion, but there are deadly things.

Before the Fourth Prince could say anything, Lord Wu came out to help him out. "Your Highness, the eunuch has been seen by all the civil and military officials in the court carrying the dragon robe into the East Palace. A search will only clear your name. Your Highness, for your own good, please allow us to take a quick look. We are not searching the palace, but merely taking a quick look."

Lord Wu repeatedly emphasized that he was just taking a look, not searching the palace, in order to lower Xie Qing's vigilance.

Xie Qing ignored Lord Wu and just looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "I only have one condition. If you agree, I'll let you go in and search. If you don't agree, I'll see who dares to go in today!"

The Fourth Prince naturally refused to allow him to search his house, and simply said, "Master Wu is right. We are just going in to take a look. Since everything here, Second Brother, is a gift from our father, there must be records of it. Second Brother, you don't have to be afraid. So why not let us take a look?"

Xie Qing refused to budge: "So, you agree?"

The Fourth Prince looked at the half-open door of the main hall. The lights were bright in the corridor, but there were only a few candles burning inside the hall, making it quite dim.

A breeze blew past, as if blowing into the hall, and the lights swayed, as if tempting people to go in and explore.

The Fourth Prince's heart was tickled by the candlelight. In his Fourth Prince's Mansion, only people were not allowed to see anyone. On the other hand, Xie Qing repeatedly stopped him and was sure that he would not let him search his mansion, so he made a bet.

The prince is feeling guilty!

The Fourth Prince was delighted and gave Master Wu a look, signaling him to find someone to take care of it. He then said, "Okay, I promise you."

As the words came out of his mouth, the Fourth Prince looked at Xie Qing's changed expression and immediately felt a little complacent. "Just wait, when the dragon robe is found, your expression will probably be even more exciting!"

Xie Qing looked at the court officials, the newly graduated scholars, and the students, and said with a smile, "Everyone can feast their eyes today and watch a good show."

Xie Qing said as he took a step forward to push open the door, but someone suddenly appeared from the side and pushed the door open. "Leave it to me."

Lu Linglong was afraid of falling behind, so she pushed the door open like a cannonball, rushed into the inner room and started searching inside.

The light in the room was dim, but it didn't affect her vision. The dressing table was clean and tidy, without a single piece of jewelry. However, there were several makeup boxes placed next to it, some with mother-of-pearl, some with lacquerware, and some with carved gold...

Lu Linglong opened her makeup box and saw a round mutton-fat jade bracelet inside. She took it out and put it on her hand, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm. Zigui glared at her, carefully took the bracelet from her hand and put it back in the box, then stood in front of the dressing table and asked, "Lu Cainu, what are you doing?"

Lu Linglong said confidently: "Of course we have to search to see if there are any prohibited items in the East Palace!"

Zigui sneered and asked, "Prohibited items? I didn't know when mutton-fat jade bracelets became prohibited items."

"You went straight to the dressing table as soon as you entered the room. I'm afraid you weren't searching for anything, but wanted to steal something. Or do you think there's room in this dressing table?"

"Even if you search the trunk, you won't find the dressing table. What do you think could be inside this place?" Zigui glanced at the Fourth Prince and asked with a smile, "Could it be that the imperial seal is inside this dressing table?"

Lu Linglong was so offended that she curled her lips and muttered, "You're so stingy."

Then she turned around and searched somewhere else. Since Zigui said she could search the suitcase, she went to look for it there!

Li Zhaoyi and others followed him in and saw the slightly messy bed at a glance.

She quickly stepped forward, grabbed the quilt, and said, "Princess, your bed is so messy, how did the servants do it?"

As she spoke, she grabbed the quilt and shook it hard, and a bundle fell out.

The things inside were scattered all over the floor in an instant. The dim candlelight flickered slightly, and a golden light shimmered in an instant, dazzling everyone's eyes.

The fourth prince shouted, "Second brother, you really have hidden the dragon robe!"

After shouting, he found a group of people looking at him with strange expressions.

Qin Wan stepped forward to pick up the fallen clothes, holding them in her arms carefully to brush off the loose dust. She said, "Fourth brother, you are so convinced that the Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion that you've changed your name from a while ago. Now, you've even convicted him without even seeing the item clearly."

Li Zhaoyi pulled the Fourth Prince. She could see clearly that what fell out of the bundle was not a dragon robe, but a ginger-colored casual uniform embroidered with a golden dragon.

The emperor has a five-clawed golden dragon, the prince has a four-clawed one, and the gold thread is exclusively for the royal family. Both the emperor and the prince can use it, and it is not even against the rules!

Qin Wan showed everyone the clothes in her hand: "This is the daily clothes I ordered people to make for the prince. What's wrong with it?"

The golden thread sparkled in the light, and the four-clawed golden dragon seemed to be laughing at their recklessness.

The Fourth Prince couldn't believe it. He pushed Li Zhaoyi away and went forward to search, but there was nothing. He pulled down everything on the bed and shook it again and again, but there was no trace of the dragon robe.

He shook his head in disbelief and murmured, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Xie Qing walked up to him, leaned over to look at him and asked, "What did you say, Fourth Brother? How is that possible? Are you disappointed that the dragon robe you mentioned wasn't found in my palace? Are you hoping for me to rebel? Do you have a problem with our father? Or do you have a problem with me?"

The Fourth Prince firmly believed that his arrangements would not go wrong, and must not go wrong!

He stared at Xie Qing and shouted angrily, "You must have hidden the dragon robe somewhere else! Let's search together! We will definitely find it! Your evil ambitions will not escape my eyes! Today, I will discipline you, this unfilial son, on behalf of my father!"

Xie Qing sleeved his hands and lazily watched him go crazy: "You said that we saw that eunuch coming to the East Palace, so we followed him. It was less than a cup of tea before we followed him. When we entered the East Palace, he was just coming out of the main hall."

Xie Qing leaned slightly to the side, glanced at the palace door, and said, "He didn't even have time to close the palace door before he was caught by Lu Cainu. So, where else could the dragon robe you mentioned be placed besides the main hall? Or, fourth brother, do you know better than me where that imaginary dragon robe is?"
