"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Su Mengyan gritted her teeth and saluted with Meng Lianlian.
"No need to be polite," Situ Yao waved his hand, letting Meng Lianlian leave. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Mengyan and said, "I don't even know when I did such a thing."
Su Mengyan knew that she had been heard clearly, so she made a quick decision and knelt down in front of Situ Yao to admit her fault, saying, "It was all my nonsense. I have slandered Your Highness's image. Please punish me, Your Highness."
The weather is nice today, and even the East Palace is not so gloomy anymore.
Su Mengyan was kneeling under a tree in the East Palace courtyard at this moment. When she felt the soft touch on her neck, she thought it was a leaf from the tree falling on her body.
It was not until Situ Yao rubbed her hard twice that she could not help but shrink her neck slightly.
He spoke softly.
"Get up."
Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up from the ground, and smiled at Situ Yao: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"At this moment, he is as obedient as a raccoon slave."
Seeing her like this, Situ Yao couldn't help but chuckle, and felt as if all the depression he had felt today had dissipated.
He stood under the tree, looking towards the palace gate, wondering what he was thinking.
Su Mengyan secretly moved her feet, but was caught by Situ Yao.
"Where's your hairpin?
When this question was asked, Su Mengyan was really panicked.
When Su Mengyan touched her head, she really found that her hairpin was missing. She had clearly worn it when she went out today, so how could it be missing?
Situ Yao was still in front of her, and even if Su Mengyan had the courage, she didn't dare to say directly that it was lost.
So, she took small steps back, and Su Mengyan gave Situ Yao an innocent smile, and said in a soft voice, "Of course, the things His Highness gave me must be kept well, so I put them away."
"oh."
Situ Yao looked at her with an amused expression, and after a long moment he said, "Please keep Concubine Su carefully. If she disappears, I will have to settle accounts with you."
Su Mengyan pursed her lips. Is it too late for her to regret now?
If I tell Situ Yao now that I lost it accidentally, can I still keep my body intact?
Situ Yao didn't give her a chance to regret and walked into the study. The door slammed shut in front of her, and she had to stop.
Su Mengyan had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she went straight into her room and began to frantically search for her hairpin. She clearly remembered that she had worn it when she went out today, and Meng Lianlian had specially praised it, saying it was good, and she even helped it up at that time.
I didn't hear any sound of anything falling all day today. Could it be that there is something wrong with her memory?
As soon as Meng Lianlian returned to her room, she saw that her room looked like it had been ransacked by bandits, and she screamed in surprise.
"Sorry, sorry!" Feeling guilty, Su Mengyan apologized immediately.
She clasped her hands together and said to Meng Lianlian, "I'll clean up in a while. The hairpin that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me is missing, and I'm looking for it. Lianlian, have you seen it?"
"The hairpin is missing?" Meng Lianlian's eyes widened in disbelief. She immediately stood up and said, "Let me help you find it! After all, two people looking is better than one. You're so careless. How could you even lose something given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Until the evening, Su Mengyan still hadn't found what she was looking for, and she lay on the bed in despair.
Meng Lianlian, who was standing next to her, comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe you put it somewhere and forgot about it. It might come out by itself tomorrow morning. It definitely won't be lost."
It was impossible to find it. Su Mengyan suddenly had an idea and sat up abruptly.
It wasn't just a simple thing she lost, but the plot caused her to lose the hairpin.
In the original novel, the gift that Situ Yao gave to Cui Mixue suddenly disappeared and could not be found in the East Palace. Then it suddenly appeared at a crime scene.
Because of this, Cui Mixue almost failed to clear herself of suspicion and stayed in prison for a while. When she came out, she was half dead.
It was precisely because of this that Situ Yao realized the necessity of his own strength and accelerated the progress of arrangements and plans.
How come it has fallen on my head now? I am really the number one tool man: Su. Tools. Cheap and easy to use. Meng Yan.
"no!"
Su Mengyan stood up suddenly, startling Meng Lianlian who was packing things nearby.
"What's wrong with you?" Meng Lianlian reached out and tugged at her, then spoke softly, "Even if it's really gone missing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't blame you. If you don't want to pack your things, just let me do it."
It sounds tender and sweet, and seems very considerate.
Su Mengyan looked at her suspiciously.
After quickly packing up everything in the house, he ran out of the room like a gust of wind, leaving only a sentence behind.
"I won't be back tonight, you don't have to wait for me!"
"Why!"
Meng Lianlian wanted to ask more questions, but she couldn't even grab the corner of Su Mengyan's clothes.
She stamped her feet twice in secret hatred, then took out a jade hairpin from her sleeve and sneered, "You brought this upon yourself, don't blame me."
Situ Yao's study was as quiet as usual. He was flipping through the book in his hand, as if the emperor's reprimand in the court today had no effect on him.
After a while, he suddenly said softly, "How?"
As Situ Yao finished speaking, a dark shadow descended and said in a deep voice, "When I left just now, I saw Su Xuan coming out of her room and hurried over here."
"He's quite a smart guy." Situ Yao chuckled, waved his hand, and asked people to leave.
