Chapter 131: Forced Palace Search
Wan'an and Wanquan thought to themselves that something was wrong, but they did not dare to stop them.
They could only watch Feng Yingying and a group of palace servants enter the Qionghua Palace.
At this time, in the side hall of the west palace, Wen Li'er had already burned all the paper money prepared by Nanny Qin.
But she continued to chatter with the simple tablet, completely unaware that the troublemaker was approaching.
Nanny Qin had very sharp ears. She had been standing quietly beside the altar.
As if she heard a faint sound of noisy footsteps, her face suddenly changed.
"Master, this is bad. It seems someone has arrived, and quite a few!"
Wen Li'er was confused. She finally got to be willful for once, and now someone came to arrest her?
She hurriedly extinguished the incense and candles, and hurriedly packed up the offerings with Nanny Qin.
Except for the simple tablet, all other offerings were wrapped in a piece of cloth.
Hiding in the cupboard?
It doesn't seem to work, it can be turned out by just flipping it.
The two men grabbed the package and walked around the side hall, but couldn't find a suitable hiding place.
It doesn’t seem realistic to take my things and hide somewhere else now.
Wen Li'er looked left and right, up and down.
Uh, up?
She looked up at the thick, long beams intertwined with each other, a glimmer in her eyes.
"Mammy, please help me bring a chair up." Wen Li'er patted the table.
Nanny Qin followed her gaze upwards, and her eyes lit up instantly.
but……
"Master? Are you sure you want to go up? It would be terrible if you fell down."
Wen Li'er didn't care whether she fell or not.
She moved an armchair from the wall and said in a low voice:
"Falling is a small matter, but being spanked fifty times is a big matter. I climbed trees when I was a kid, so this height is no problem."
Nanny Qin was also very anxious, and there seemed to be no better way now.
She heard the noisy noise outside getting closer, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped Wen Li'er fold the armchair on the table.
But at this height, I still can't reach the beam.
The two of them could only busily carry another large box over.
Boxes are stacked on tables, and chairs are stacked on boxes.
Now the height is pretty much the same.
Wen Li'er climbed onto the table with the help of Nanny Qin, and then continued to step up.
This high-risk action made Nanny Qin terrified.
Nanny Qin half-knelt beside the table, stretched out her arms, and tried to grab the corner of the armchair to prevent it from shaking.
She was already prepared. If her master fell, she would jump down and cushion him under the table.
Wen Li'er was quite agile and climbed onto the armchair in no time.
She reached out to Nanny Qin.
"Hand me the bundle and the tablet quickly."
Nanny Qin could only loosen the legs of the armchair and hurried down the table to get it.
Wen Li'er held the simple tablet in one hand and her bundle in the other, and stood up tremblingly.
Time was running out now, and she didn't care about being afraid.
After hiding the two things, she asked Nanny Qin to hold a candle and look at them from front to back and left to right.
After making sure she couldn't see, she climbed down from the table using her hands and knees.
After this back and forth, Wen Li'er was sweating all over.
Not daring to delay, she worked together with Nanny Qin to put the chairs and cabinets back in place.
Also open the north and south windows to dissipate the smell.
Wen Li'er and Nanny Qin straightened their hair and clothes before going out together.
The two of them didn't know that after they walked out of the side hall, a dark shadow flashed into the side hall like a ghost.
In an instant, he flew away again.
Wen Li'er took Nanny Qin and walked slowly towards the main hall. They saw a group of people who had just searched the main hall and the east hall striding towards them.
She looked at the person in the front, frowned, and asked, "Feng Fengyi, why are you not resting at this hour and bringing so many people to Qionghua Palace?"
Feng Yingying looked her up and down, then asked, "Dame Wen Liang, why are you here in the West Palace so late at night instead of resting?"
Wen Li'er touched her belly with a serious look.
"I ate a bit too much at dinner today, so I came out to digest it. But what does this have to do with Feng Fengyi?"
After Wen Li'er finished speaking, she glanced at the palace maid behind Feng Yingying, and her usually gentle and docile face suddenly became stern.
Feng Yingying is not afraid of her because she has a killer move in her hands.
Maybe I can bring Wen Lier down today and she will never be able to stand up again!
Thinking that she would soon be able to get rid of the vixen that was pestering the prince, Feng Yingying's breathing became heavier with excitement.
"Dear Lady Wen, a palace servant has reported that someone has privately set up an altar in Qionghua Palace. This act of disrespect towards the royal family is unforgivable. The Crown Princess has specially ordered me to investigate. I hope that Lady Wen will cooperate."
Wen Li'er's heart was pounding, but her face remained expressionless.
"Someone secretly set up an altar in Qionghua Palace? I'm unaware of this. Who did Feng Fengyi hear this from? What physical evidence do you have? Can you have them come and confront me?"
Feng Yingying sneered, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes: "Why do you have to pretend to be ignorant, Wen Liangdi? If there is no witness, how dare I come here rashly? As for the physical evidence, we will know after the palace servants search it out. Come on - search the West Palace carefully!"
The palace maids behind her responded in unison and started to search separately.
Wen Li'er's eyes darkened and she shouted, "Stop!"
The usually cheerful man suddenly looked gloomy and looked rather intimidating.
The palace maids stopped in their tracks and dared not move forward.
Feng Yingying frowned, her voice a little shrill: "What do you mean, Wen Liangdi? Are you feeling guilty?"
Wen Li'er looked into her eyes quietly.
"You're claiming without proof that someone has secretly set up an altar in my palace? Do you know what the crime of defaming my master is?"
Seeing how calm she was, Feng Yingying couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Could it be that all the things have been destroyed by Wen Lier?
