Chapter 139 If I can’t find it, I will punish you!
Early the next morning, the eunuch Xiao Menzi and the palace maid Chun'er beside Xu Miaoyin went to the Yunting and brought Nan Yan to Shou'an Palace.
When I walked into the main hall of Shou'an Palace, I found that all the concubines were there.
Xu Miaoyin sat right above her, and Concubine Kang and the others naturally sat on her left and right. Nan Yan carefully glanced at Concubine An out of the corner of her eye. Her expression was indifferent, as if what was happening here had nothing to do with her.
And Xia Yunting on the other side——
Her eyes were red, and she only glanced at herself before turning her head to the side.
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable, but she tried her best to calm herself down and walked forward to greet the ladies.
Xu Miaoyin simply raised her hand and said, "Sinanyan, do you know why I summoned everyone back to Shou'an Palace today?"
Nan Yan whispered, "It's about that theft case."
"Yes, you are self-aware."
Xu Miaoyin nodded, then said, "Then I want to ask you, I've locked you up for the past few days to let you reflect on your mistakes. Have you thought it through? Do you admit your guilt?"
Nan Yan shook her head without hesitation.
Xu Miaoyin didn't seem surprised, but Wu Wan, who was standing beside her, immediately shouted angrily, "What a stubborn girl! Do you think that if you keep refusing to admit it, the Queen won't punish you? We caught the perpetrator red-handed, and you still dare to deny it."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Xu Miaoyin and said, "Empress, in my opinion, please do not waste any more words with this slave girl. Just punish her."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin had a complicated smile on her face. She turned to look at Xiang Nanyan and said, "Sinanyan, did you hear that? Concubine Kang has already said that this matter was originally caught with evidence. Why don't you plead guilty?"
Nan Yan said calmly, "I still insist that the bracelet is not the one that was stolen from Concubine Xia, so it is not stolen goods."
Xia Yunting's eyes turned red, and Fu Lan, who was standing behind her, immediately said, "How dare you talk nonsense? If the bracelet on your desk isn't Zhaoyi's, then where did Zhaoyi's coral bead bracelet go?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't answer immediately, while Gao Yurong, who had been silent the entire time, said, "Empress, I understand. The court lady meant that she didn't steal anything. They simply lost the bracelet in Shou'an Palace themselves."
"What?"
Xia Yunting was also anxious this time and said quickly: "No."
Gao Yurong smiled faintly: "Whether it is true or not, we will know after searching."
Xu Miaoyin listened to their words, then turned to look at Si Nanyan and said, "Si Nanyan, do you think so too?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Xu Miaoyin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can have someone search Shou'an Palace once, but Si Nanyan, listen carefully. If we search again and still find nothing, I will punish you."
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Xu Miaoyin turned around and ordered, "Go search."
This time, Xu Miaoyin did not ask anyone else to come forward, but her own eunuchs and doormen, as well as the two palace maids Bihe and Chun'er, started searching in Shou'an Palace.
They searched every corner, even on the bed, under the pillows, and in the curtains.
Still nothing.
Nan Yan couldn't help but glance at Concubine An, Gao Yurong remained calm and composed.
