Chapter 384 A Bad Idea

After all, the pharmacy was guarded on all sides, and outsiders generally wouldn't go there. The patrolling guards didn't see anyone else there except Jiujiu.

So, now apart from Jiujiu who is the most suspicious, they can't think of anyone else suspicious.

Jiujiu's heart tightened, and she was a little speechless, "..."

It was all Du Huahua’s fault. When she heard footsteps approaching outside, she was ready to retreat quickly, but Du Huahua was greedy and refused to leave. By the time she caught Du Huahua and forced her into her sleeve and was ready to leave, it was too late.

She hid and tried to take precautions in every possible way, but she was still seen there.

Although I'm back now, I was caught up and questioned.

But she is not afraid of—

Jiujiu continued to stand there with a confused look on her face. Facing the accusations of the patrolling guards, she said nothing and waited for Dong Buhan to speak.

I believe Dong Buhan will find a good excuse for her.

As expected, Dong Buhan believed Jiujiu. He was speechless about what the patrol guard said. He clicked his tongue a few times and said angrily, "Miss Jiuer took my forbidden medicine and has no self-awareness at all. How could she steal the medicine hidden in the medicine compartment?"

"Where did she hide the drugs after she stole them?"

Dong Buhan looked at Jiujiu and said speechlessly: "She came back empty-handed. She came back empty-handed. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." The patrol guard nodded with cold sweat, "But Your Highness..."

"But what?" Dong Buhan was very impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Do you still want to frame Miss Jiu'er with false charges? If you are looking for a scapegoat, find one that is convincing, okay?"

Looking for Jiujiu?

It's totally sick!

Dong Buhan was speechless. He wished he could cut open the heads of these idiots in front of him and take a good look to see what was inside.

Is it stone or paste?

Only then can they have such outrageous train of thought.

Upon seeing this, the patrolling guards felt that there was something wrong with Jiujiu and did not dare to say anything more, for fear that if they continued, they would be killed by His Highness.

They knew better than anyone else who His Highness was, and they were all afraid and wary of him.

They all lowered their heads, waiting for Dong Buhan to speak.

"Go away, go and continue to investigate who it is." Dong Buhan said, "Investigate carefully, don't let outsiders know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

What Dong Buhan was most worried about was that this incident would make others think that some outsider had sneaked in, or that it was because of him that he sneaked in.

This kind of thing can't happen!

Otherwise, he would ask to be deposed.

He didn't want to be deposed.

He is the crown prince of Dongcang and the future emperor of Dongcang.

Jiujiu looked at Dong Buhan's extremely worried expression and suddenly had a bad idea.

She also understood that Dongcang Country was extremely hostile to outsiders. What would happen if she released the news that outsiders other than herself had entered at this time?

What kind of situation will we be in if winter is not cold?

After all, Dong Buhan brought her in as his future wife, so no one in Dongcang Kingdom objected.

As for the rest of the outsiders, they are neither the wife nor the husband of anyone, and once they enter, they will be regarded as enemies.

Especially this enemy, who was able to come in because of Dong Buhan’s negligence.

If we are exposed and it is not cold in winter, we will be in trouble.

hehe.

The next day, Jiujiu found an excuse to go out and play, and then avoided the people who followed her. She found a place where no one was around, pinched her throat, and said as if she was explaining to her subordinates: "You all remember, recently the medicine in His Royal Highness's palace was stolen, and the thief came from outside."

"It's terrible."

"You must be alert and patrol to see if there are any suspicious people."

"Also, all valuables in the palace must be carefully kept. Don't lose them again and make His Highness angry."

Jiujiu seemed to be talking to herself in a place where no one was around, but in fact, walls have ears. There was a long street on the other side of the wall. She had observed that many palace people passed by there every day.

Her words would definitely be heard by others, and then spread from one person to ten people, from ten to a hundred people, and then all of them would be spread out.

After all, Dong Buhan has always been watched by someone.

His enemies are afraid that they won't be able to find anything to hold against him.

Jiujiu's guess was correct. As soon as she said a few words, the people who heard it on the other side of the wall looked at each other and then went to report to their master.

They serve different masters, but their goal is the same to find something to hold against Dong Bulhan.

After that day, the court was in an uproar, with all kinds of attacks, both open and covert, directed at Dong Buhan.

"Your Highness, I heard that the medicinal herbs in your palace were lost, and it was stolen by an outsider."

"Is that so?"

Some court officials seemed to be concerned, but they were actually questioning whether the winter was cold.

Dong Buhan's face turned black. How did these people know?

He asked someone to investigate this matter carefully, and he was really careful. How could this happen?

Who exposed it?

Dong Buhan suspected everyone around him, but he didn't suspect Jiujiu.

He is extremely confident in his medicine.

Little do people know that being overconfident is actually arrogance.

"Your Highness, why don't you say anything?" The Prime Minister standing opposite Dong Buhan asked, "Is this true?"

The prime minister was not targeting Dong Buhan, and he had no deep hatred for Dong Buhan. However, he was loyal to Dong Cang, and if anyone dared to do something bad to Dong Cang, no matter who it was, he would not be polite.

It is for this reason that Emperor Wenping values ​​the prime minister very much.

At this moment, Emperor Wenping frowned, looked at Dong Buhan seriously, and said, "Prince, you answer."

Dong Buhan clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, but his face looked relaxed. "What is the Prime Minister talking about? How could such a thing happen?"

The Prime Minister said again: "Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, and we cannot just listen to one side of the story."

"In order to prove the innocence of His Royal Highness, and to verify whether there really is such an outsider, so as to prevent any trouble, I suggest that you check His Royal Highness's pharmacy and medicine refill book."

"If there is no shortage of medicine in His Royal Highness's pharmacy and there is no record of refills, then it proves that the rumors are just rumors and cannot be trusted."

"On the contrary, rumors are no longer just rumors."

“It’s somewhat believable.”

"The prince needs to be thoroughly investigated."

"Okay." Emperor Wenping did not dare to relax in the face of such a thing, so he agreed.

He personally led people to investigate the East Palace. After the investigation, he concluded that the medicine in the Dongbuhan Palace had indeed been stolen.

Dong Buhan has been busy investigating the thief recently and has no time to ask for additional information.

The investigation turned out to be caught red-handed.

"Prince, what do you think about this matter?" Emperor Wen Ping looked at Dong Buhan with disappointment.

Dong Buhan hung his head, his heart was in a mess. He still couldn't figure out how this could happen? Why did this happen?
