The emperor took his people to the storehouse to choose jewelry. Nanny Chang followed him, still as gentle and kind as before.

An Jiu felt that although this woman was a little older, she still had her charm. But why was she posing in front of the emperor?

It was very uncomfortable to watch, and An Jiu rolled his eyes several times when he saw Aunt Qu.

"Your Majesty, what would you like to choose today?" Nanny Chang asked softly, stroking her hair.

"I remember that my mother had a peach blossom hairpin. Why is it gone?" the emperor asked casually.

After hearing this, Nanny Chang didn't do anything, but An Jiu was already stunned.

She remembered that the peach blossom hairpin was given to her by the emperor, right?

She tried hard to recall it over and over again, and finally confirmed that it was definitely a gift from the emperor.

But, since the emperor sent it, why did he mention it here?

What does he mean? Want to go back?

Or is it that he is so busy that he forgets?

An Jiu stared at the emperor's round head in confusion.

Nanny Chang quickly found the hairpin.

The emperor pinched it and looked at it, and suddenly his face changed.

"Mammy, this hairpin seems to be wrong." The emperor pretended to say, "I remember there was a small hole here, and I accidentally knocked it. Why is it gone now?"

Nanny Chang was stunned and hurried over to take a look.

The hairpin was as smooth as new, with indeed no dents, but it didn't feel right.

Of course, the things that the late emperor gave to Concubine Chun were all good things.

But this hairpin is not.

It's... fake! ! !

Nanny Chang was frightened by her own thoughts. She looked up at the emperor, and in just a second her eyes were blurred with tears: "I don't know what's going on?"

She paused and said, "Maybe it was really the former Aunt Liu who changed."

Before the emperor could speak, Aunt Qu stepped forward and said, "No, we checked everything after Nanny Liu was taken away. There can't be any fakes."

Aunt Qu called out to someone, “Check everything in the warehouse.”

The emperor has a lot of good things.

Some were his own, some were left by the previous emperor, and some were presented from various places.

After a while, Aunt Qu and the others found some people who looked strange.

An Jiu had seen some of them before, in the box that the emperor asked her to choose that day.

An Jiu seemed to understand something.

These things were all replaced by the emperor.

She remembered that Aunt Qu's apprentice Xiaoyun was in the storeroom, but now she was nowhere to be seen.

But are they going through so much trouble just to put the blame on Nanny Chang?

This is ridiculous. The emperor said before that if he wanted to punish Nanny Chang, he didn't even need evidence. Why would he set up such a big trap?

Then it would be a natural thing to deal with Nanny Chang.

But where did the real things go?

[Go find it. The real thing has already been taken to Plum Blossom Villa to sell.] 】

【Hahaha. 】

An Jiu: "..."

I understand.

If it weren't for Nanny Chang's problem, those fake things would have remained there.

But why did the emperor sell those treasures?

An Jiu remembered how stingy he was before.

As the ruler of a country, he obviously has everything he wants, so why does he care so much about the money in his pocket?

Could it be that...

Where else does he make money?

So, he was forced to sell off his ancestral property?

What is the money place?

He is not interested in women...

Nanny Chang's face became paler and paler as Aunt Qu continued to bring in fake goods.

"How can this be possible? Your Majesty, these things were really not exchanged by me, please understand." Nanny Chang cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her. If the eldest prince saw this, he would definitely be soft-hearted, but the emperor was not the eldest prince, he only felt disgusted.

"The warehouse is managed by Mammy. If it's not you, who else could it be?"

Nanny Chang shook her head: "Someone must have framed me."

"Framed?" The emperor pondered the words.

[늀It was me who framed you. Didn't expect that? 】

【Hahaha. 】

The emperor said to Aunt Qu with a cold face: "Since Nanny Chang said that someone framed her, I have to investigate. After all, Nanny Chang is also an old woman who followed my mother, and I will not wrongly accuse her."

Before Nanny Chang could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the emperor say, "To prove Nanny Chang's innocence, go to her room and check."

"Your Majesty..." Nanny Chang just opened her mouth to stop him, but Aunt Qu brought people to her room and quickly found a lot of precious jewelry inside, as well as the butterfly hairpin that belonged to Concubine Chun that the tyrant saw at the beginning.

Nanny Chang was like a chicken with its neck pinched, unable to utter a single word.

Aunt Qu held the butterfly hairpin and said, "Your Majesty, this hairpin, I remember it belonged to Concubine Chun." She flipped through the book and found a record of it.

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Nanny Chang cried, "Your Majesty, I missed Concubine Chun so much that I took her hairpin because I thought of returning it after a few days. I only took this hairpin, and I really didn't exchange the others."

Her ass is really not clean.

An Jiu glanced at the emperor. No wonder he was so calm and composed when he talked to him about the hairpin last time. It turned out that he had already thought of a solution.

Killing two birds with one stone, not only can Chang Ma Ma be sentenced legitimately, but also Chang Ma Ma can be made the scapegoat to make up for the loss of these good things in the warehouse.

Even if those things are discovered to be from the palace, they can openly say that someone from the palace stole them and sold them...

Anyway, it has nothing to do with the emperor. He was also deceived and cheated by others.

The emperor listened to Nanny Chang's explanation and sneered, "The evidence is irrefutable. Come, lock up Nanny Chang and interrogate her strictly."

Nanny Chang was taken away.

The emperor looked at the butterfly hairpin.

This hairpin is pretty, but its quality is very ordinary. I don’t understand why Madam Chang wants to keep it.

As for Nanny Chang’s other jewelry.

Aunt Qu looked at the things in the box and said, "Your Majesty, these things are also very valuable. Madam Chang cannot have them."

"Is it from my mother?"

Aunt Qu shook her head. There weren't many pieces of Concubine Chun's jewelry left. Aunt Qu remembered most of them, and none of these styles were there.

The emperor sneered: "That was given to her by someone else."

An Jiu thought of the white-faced man she saw in Nanny Chang's yard not long ago.

That person obviously had an unspeakable relationship with Nanny Chang. In that case, perhaps he was the one who gave it to her.

She thought again of the suspect Jiang Sheng mentioned today.

They were originally the chief stewards of the concubines, so it was not surprising that they received some rewards. They just needed to find out who these jewels belonged to and find someone to do it.

The emperor thought so too. He asked someone to investigate while he himself was waiting for Nanny Chang's confession.

"I didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn. She said nothing but held on to her aunt's hand and took the butterfly hairpin. She also said that the late emperor was going to give it to her, but it was taken away by my aunt." Jiang Sheng smiled and licked his lips: "What kind of toad's words is this? Is she worthy of comparing with my aunt?"

Jiang Sheng had awarded her more than a dozen lashes at the time, but he didn't say anything about it because Xiao Jiu was still around, lest people think he was too tasteless to hit a woman.

The emperor asked: "Who gave her those jewels?"

Jiang Sheng: "She didn't say, but I'll find out soon."

He paused and said, "I suspect that she was a ghost back then. She sent the people from Jinxiu Palace away, so the murderer had the opportunity to go in and kill people."

This is very possible.

Although Concubine Chun fell out of favor and Jinxiu Palace was sealed, it would not be that there would be no one left every day.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems.

An Jiu listened to their conversation, but was thinking about one thing, why did Concubine Chun fall out of favor back then?

The Jiang family also had problems later, and Jiang Sheng was the only one left after the death...
