Chapter 275: Suspects
What are your plans for the future?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yuan Siyin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yu Shiyan nodded calmly, his lips parting to utter a single word: "Wait."
"How long?"
"Wait until they slip up on their own."
Yuan Siyin: "..."
Good grief, you're standing right here, in front of everyone.
So this is like the Calabash Brothers coming to rescue their grandfather, one after another they're being delivered.
"I wish I hadn't come along."
Yuan Siyin muttered to herself.
"But once you've come, you can't leave."
Yu Shiyan chuckled and pinched her cheek, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Yuan Siyin suddenly deflated, then put her hands on her hips fiercely and said, "Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and feed me, I'm hungry."
What would you like to eat?
"Anything is fine as long as it's not a green vegetable."
"good."
Yu Shiyan's eyes were full of tenderness, and he went along with whatever she said, occasionally taking a bite himself.
Anyway, Yuan Siyin didn't notice that the two of them had been using the same head of food until they finished eating.
...
"Bai Qiu, Bai Qiu!"
Hearing Chu Wan's unusual shouts, Bai Qiu knew that the pawn she had planted earlier had been brought to the forefront, and quickly went in to answer: "Does Your Highness want incense?"
"Why are two of my jewelry pieces missing?!"
Chu Wan opened the dressing drawer and rummaged through it several times, confirming that her two favorite small ornaments had disappeared. She immediately slammed her hand on the table in a rage.
"What jewelry? This servant has no idea."
Bai Qiu opened her mouth slightly, looking quite surprised: "It has always been Sister Xiaoya who serves Your Highness in dressing up. Otherwise, this servant will call everyone here and question them in detail for Your Highness?"
Chu Wan frowned, barely suppressing her anger, and nodded in agreement.
In a short while, all the staff in the Hehuan Palace, including the sweepers and cleaners, numbered about ten, and stood outside the palace without missing a single one.
"If Your Highness has lost something, and someone is indeed dishonest, it would be better to confess quickly. Perhaps Your Highness will consider our past relationship and let the matter drop."
Bai Qiu stood before the crowd, speaking softly and gently.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoya couldn't help but sneer at the palace servant beside her, "What are you pretending for? Isn't the most suspicious person right here?"
Bai Qiu looked at her and frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this, Sister Xiaoya?"
"What's the meaning?"
She clapped her hands mockingly, as if she had heard the funniest joke, "Oh dear, who doesn't know you're the Empress's personal maid? Now that something's gone, who else could it be but you?"
Chu Wan sat upright in the hall, hearing everything that was being said outside.
No one would admit it when I asked, so I'll have to hold my anger in until next year.
She was someone who couldn't tolerate anything being taken advantage of. Even if it was something insignificant, she would only give it away if she didn't want it anymore. But now, someone had the audacity to reach right under her nose.
Increasingly enraged, Chu Wan slammed her hand on the table and shouted sharply towards the outside of the hall, "Send people to search! Search each room one by one!"
To clear themselves of suspicion, Bai Qiu led everyone to her side room first.
Xiaoya knew this side room all too well. While everyone else was searching, she secretly walked to the bedside, squatted down, took out a kingfisher feather hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve, and threw it under the bed.
After doing all this, she smiled contemptuously, pointed under the bed, and without turning her head, shouted, "Here it is! I found it!"
There was no sound behind me, as if no one had heard me.
She had no choice but to repeat herself again: "Come and see, I have found the headdress that Your Majesty lost!"
