Chapter 330: Yingluo Pendant
The passing woman who was hurriedly found naturally did not find the unusual things that Wang Yongshou mentioned in Su Shengsheng's underwear.
But Su Shengsheng clearly felt that Wang Yongshou's attention was obviously not here anymore.
His eyes searched her and Xie Xuan's faces, and after the woman had searched the couch in the room, he left abruptly.
Came with great fanfare, but left in such a sloppy manner...
After Wang Yongshou apologized solemnly and led his men to withdraw, Su Shengsheng looked at Xie Xuan in confusion.
"Leaving now?"
She had thought that since he had mobilized such a large force, he would at least turn the place upside down.
But it was clear that he had other ideas.
Xie Xuan was also very confused, and followed Su Shengsheng's gaze back to the scroll.
Su Shengsheng stroked the portrait, but didn't notice any undulating strokes, but rather...
When she withdrew her hand, it accidentally fell on the necklace on the scroll.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. "What is this?"
Su Shengsheng originally thought it was an ordinary necklace, just an embellishment on the scroll, used by the store for decoration.
But there are lines inside...
She stroked it carefully and suddenly had some guess.
"Could it be that Wang Yongshou has seen this necklace?"
Xie Xuan's expression changed slightly, but he immediately understood what she meant.
It was obviously impossible for Ji Yanli to take this scroll out for a stroll. The only possibility was that he had worn this necklace before and was spotted by Wang Yongshou.
"I'll go take a look, you can rest assured."
As Xie Xuan spoke, he took off Su Shengsheng's outer robe and quickly took off the imperial edict that was tied a little tightly.
You know what, after being disturbed by Wang Yongshou's abnormal reaction, she actually forgot that she had this thing tied around her belly.
Wang Yongshou left in a hurry without even thinking of searching her body.
Su Shengsheng didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
She looked at the slightly bright sky outside and sighed slightly. Xie Xuan glanced at her sideways for a few seconds, but one hand was still slowly kneading her stiff waist.
This thing is so special that the handle cannot be hidden.
She could only spread out the imperial edict, place it horizontally on her waist and abdomen, and then join the two scroll handles together behind her and cover it with her outer clothes.
She also kept pinching her waist, wishing to tell the world not to mess with her because she was pregnant and could not be reasoned with.
Whoever provokes him will be stuck.
Who could have imagined?
She proudly put her hands on her hips and stuck out her belly to cover the two shaft handles.
They just wanted to stay away from her, but they never expected that what they were looking for was on her waist.
The most conspicuous places are often the darkest under the light.
Xie Xuan massaged it for a while, then quickly put the distracted little man back on the couch.
"Don't overthink it. He's the third place in the imperial examination. Without solid evidence, Wang Yongshou wouldn't dare touch him."
Su Shengsheng half exhaled, "I wouldn't dare to do that openly."
Xie Xuan took off her shoes and put the quilt in the bed which had been warmed by the heater before he had to go and take a look.
"It's still early, you can rest assured, I will go and check it out myself."
After saying that, seeing Su Shengsheng nodded, he kissed the end of her hair lightly before leaving with a sigh.
Xie Xuan naturally wouldn't try to hide the truth.
If he showed up at Ji Yanli's house openly and protected him, everything he had just done would be in vain.
This time, Wang Yongshou went straight to Ji Yanli's residence, and it took him longer than it did to get to the Wang Mansion.
Xie Xuan waited until dawn and the emperor was about to dismiss the court before he entered Ji's mansion.
Unexpectedly, those old women were tortured.
Wang Yongshou returned in defeat and did not return to the palace. Xie Xuan then knew that Ji Yanli had not given them away.
Because Ning Jie was still in prison, Xie Xuan had not sent General Han over yet, so only Xiao Pan was in the mansion.
Fortunately, Wang Yongshou did not become further suspicious.
But I didn't give up my suspicion.
After learning about this, Ji Yanli took the initiative to say that the distinguished guests who came to the mansion were the two of them in order not to implicate those old women.
He also said that when they had a dispute over the portrait of Su Shengsheng he had painted, Xie Xuan really wanted to hit someone.
He knew that Ji Yanli was tortured because those old women were questioned and could not give a unified answer.
But I still can't understand why he values the lives of those women more than Su Shengsheng's reputation.
"I confessed to the Prime Minister that the prince came to me because he heard that I had a private portrait of the princess in my house. I also explained that I had made it in the past and had never thrown it away because I didn't want to lose respect."
But Xie Xuan's expression was still as cold as ice.
He was not afraid of Wang Yongshou torturing him, but he still had the kindness to save those gossipy old women.
Although this matter could be covered up temporarily, Wang Yongshou would not realize it after a thorough investigation.
Something happened to be lost in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then they took a box containing a scroll from Ji Yanli's house.
When Wang Yongshou came back and confirmed it with the emperor, even if it was not to prove that the scroll was the imperial edict, was it to slap them in the face?
"I know... the princess won't care about this..."
Perhaps because Xie Xuan's expression was too ugly, Ji Yanli explained in a low voice.
It was really because he was not cut out to be a spy, and the maids in his family were not well controlled.
Now that the matter has been settled, Xie Xuan has to continue even if he doesn't want to.
Xie Xuan really wanted to beat him up now.
But after Wang Yongshou left, he suffered new injuries and became troubled again.
Xie Xuan had no way of convincing such a bright and handsome man, so he could only leave in anger.
It took him an hour and a half to go back and forth.
Although Su Shengsheng was tired, she could never sleep well.
Just as I was waking up from sleep, I heard Xie Xuan coming back.
Seeing her dazed expression, Xie Xuan, fearing she might get angry, could only adjust his tone, "Wang Yongshou left after the search, but he clearly suspected Ji Yanli. The necklace pendant belonged to Ji Yanli."
After eating a bowl of milk skin, Su Shengsheng was no longer hungry, but her heart was burning.
Hearing Xie Xuan say this, he felt furious.
But it was not directed at Ji Yanli, but at Xie Xuan.
If he hadn't stolen other people's things, why would Wang Yongshou turn his attention to Ji Yanli?
She held her forehead and sighed, "There really is always a loophole!"
But you can't blame him... because it was Ji Yanli who hid it.
But what can I do now?
Su Shengsheng looked back at Xie Xuan, who looked uncertain, and asked, "Where is the imperial edict hidden?"
I was afraid that Wang Yongshou would get mad and launch a surprise attack.
Imperial decree, Su Shengsheng has already asked Xie Xuan to move.
After all, none of them had expected that Wang Yongshou could get Zong Zheng Ruijin to dispatch the chief steward of the inner chamber and the imperial guards based on suspicion alone.
In the end, it was their own carelessness.
Xie Xuan walked around the room twice, but seeing Su Shengsheng looking like she had a headache, he had to stop.
Only after the coldness in my body faded away did I dare to hug her.
"This matter can be used to take advantage of the favorable conditions..."
Borrow the east wind?
In Su Shengsheng's puzzled gaze, Xie Xuanfeng's eyes flashed a sharp light.
"The two of them are suspicious of each other, and they just take advantage of it. They are not afraid that Zong Zhengrui will not kill Wang Yongshou."
Su Shengsheng's eyes trembled slightly, "Aren't you afraid of making things worse?"
If he really kills someone, there will be no witnesses.
"There's no better way now, is there?"
