Chapter 329 Portrait
Wang Yongshou thought that there would be more friction, but he unexpectedly heard Xie Xuan let someone go.
When he saw the Qilin Army surrounding the outside, obeying orders without any hesitation, he also felt the princess's.
He wanted to see today what could make Xie Xuan compromise so quickly.
What kind of peerless beauty was this that made Xie Xuan and that person miss her for so long?
The moment he stepped into the door, he saw a delicate woman standing in the yard.
Her unassuming appearance is like a ray of warm sunshine in the cold wind.
The bright and clear eyes can touch people's hearts.
Under the pressure from Xie Xuan, Wang Yongshou only dared to take a quick look and then quickly looked away.
Although he was the head of all officials, he was only second to one person.
But you still have to bow when you meet the prince or princess.
Just as Wang Yongshou bowed, Su Shengsheng spoke up, "They say the Prime Minister is an honest official. Could it be that the rumors are wrong?"
The suggestive words made him pause.
"What kind of rare treasure is this that would warrant the Prime Minister mobilizing such a large force, even the Imperial Guards?"
The words were obviously blameless, but they were more annoying than the cold wind.
Wang Yongshou was choked by her sarcastic words, and his chest felt stuffy and painful.
What a great granddaughter of the imperial teacher! She can curse people without using any dirty words.
She openly and secretly called him a corrupt official, but he couldn't refute her...
Wang Yongshou's face was as dark as a scorched cloud. "Princess, please forgive me for laughing. This is just a gift from His Majesty. It is shameful for a thief to steal it."
But before he could continue, the young woman yawned and waved her hands, "Your Majesty is not a stingy person. If it's lost, you can reward it later. Why make such a fuss..."
Wang Yongshou was completely speechless.
This is obviously an insult and a way to make fun of him.
"The princess has wealth that has overthrown the country, so naturally she would look down upon other things, but this is an honor bestowed by His Majesty, and it cannot be lost."
Su Shengsheng stopped yawning and said, "There is no room for error, but I have already lost something..." Although she was just muttering, her voice was still loud.
Wang Yongshou looked sullen.
But Su Shengsheng wasn't finished yet. "Prime Minister, if you force your way in like this, what are you going to say if you don't find anything today?"
Barging in? Didn't she let him in?
When they entered the courtyard, the imperial guards who were conducting a sweeping search were all bewildered.
Wang Yongshou seemed to grit his teeth and said, "If I don't find it, I will naturally apologize to the princess."
Su Shengsheng seemed satisfied at this point. She held Xie Xuan's hand and moved back to the inner courtyard.
Those imperial guards were not fools. How could such a big thief escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion and sneak into the Prince's Palace?
This is clearly a conspiracy, using them as shields.
So at first they only dared to search the periphery, because the Prime Minister did not tell them what was lost.
This time, Su Shengsheng went to the inner courtyard to meet him. The prime minister followed with a dark face, and they followed closely behind.
The layout of this small courtyard is clear at a glance. There is no courtyard or pavilion, so it is easy to search.
There was no fish pond or place to hide.
The ground was solid and showed no signs of disturbance.
And they even checked the trees...
It’s obvious that we don’t plan to stay in this courtyard for long!
When Su Shengsheng returned to the house, Chu Zhao also sent a letter saying that Su's house had also been searched.
Ning Yu quickly made a bowl of milk skin and brought it to her hot.
Su Shengsheng sat down at the table and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, but she had no appetite.
She watched coldly as Wang Yongshou brought his men to search her house personally.
Xie Xuan protected her on the outside, afraid that someone would accidentally bump into her.
Just a fierce face, already very impatient.
They had just moved in and moved in a hurry, so many things were missing.
On the bookshelf were some of her newly purchased medical books, as well as a few volumes of general ledgers submitted by shopkeepers from various places.
Wang Yongshou just flipped through it roughly but did not open it.
He was knocking and banging as if looking for a mechanism.
Su Shengsheng also became a little impatient. She was really tired. If she continued looking like this, she would not be able to sleep.
"What did you lose, Prime Minister? You can't possibly go digging through my house looking for it, right? If that's your intention, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Wang Yongshou's somewhat plump cheeks twitched visibly. "Princess, you are joking. How dare this humble official?"
Su Shengsheng hummed lazily, but the weather in June changed suddenly.
"Be gentle with your hands and feet. If you bump into anything valuable, the Prime Minister won't compensate you."
He looks so arrogant and domineering, nothing like the kind and approachable person as rumored.
The imperial guards looked at each other, but moved more cautiously.
But in fact, they didn't even look for it.
Because they don’t even know what it is, okay?
But he didn't dare ask the prime minister who was sweating with anxiety, so he could only knock left and right in a pretentious manner.
In fact, the items in the room are clearly visible. There is no wardrobe, only hangers.
The crate was the first to be turned over.
But once you are in this boudoir, you have to be more cautious.
In the end, Xie Xuan signaled Qingran and Ningyu to come forward and show them the precious jewelry and some drawers one by one.
But when it came to some small clothes, disputes naturally arose.
Seeing that Su Shengsheng looked tired, Xie Xuan became worried. He stopped deliberately making things difficult for them and asked them to find a woman to search on their own.
The eunuch wanted to take action, but was glared back by Xie Xuan.
Zong Zheng Ruijin's lackey dared to touch his wife's clothes.
After searching for a while, Wang Yongshou began to have doubts in his heart.
As his eyes searched the entire room, they finally stopped on the scroll placed on the square table on the couch.
Seeing him going that way, Su Shengsheng gave Xie Xuan a look.
Although I don’t know whether Wang Yongshou can recognize Ji Yanli’s handwriting, it is better to be cautious just in case.
"This is a work we created for our own amusement, so the Prime Minister doesn't need to review it, right? Or is it some ancient calligraphy piece that the Prime Minister has lost?"
Hearing Xie Xuan say such suggestive words without blushing or beating his heart, Su Shengsheng glared at him angrily.
But because he was blocked by the fat Wang Yongshou, the ball was not sent out.
Instead, Wang Yongshou seemed to be shocked, and finally proposed a compromise, which was for him to touch the painting himself.
But it is only within the few ranges specified by Xie Xuan and will not cause any offense.
Xie Xuan hesitated for a moment, turned aside and looked at Su Shengsheng inquiringly.
This scroll painting is obviously more prominent in the room, and can be used to disguise the imperial edict.
Su Shengsheng was also afraid that this person would not give up until he achieved his goal, and it would be a waste of time to continue pestering him.
He nodded to Xie Xuan who asked him.
Xie Xuan ordered his men to blindfold Wang Yongshou, then he lifted his sleeves and let them fall on the crabapple flowers and several children.
But that somewhat unstable and trembling hand made Xie Xuan frown slightly.
Wang Yongshou quickly withdrew his hand and only took off the blindfold after Xie Xuan had tied up the scroll.
In fact, Su Shengsheng was also a little worried, but the portrait did not have the brushstrokes of an oil painting.
It's difficult to feel the brush strokes from the ink.
only……
After Wang Yongshou checked, he found some abnormal behavior of his body, which made her worried.
Could it be that there is something else she doesn't know?
At this time, a woman hurried over following the imperial guards.
Wang Yongshou frowned and stepped aside.
