Chapter 116 Ordering his subordinates to arrest him?
Glazed Pavilion.
Tang Xiluo asked while searching with confusion.
"Xiao Li, where is my notebook?"
Xiaoli pinched her head and said, "Miss, didn't the prince ask you to bring the notebook last night? The notebook is not in the side room."
When I got here this morning, I was racking my brains to wake the young lady up, and I didn't even notice the notebook.
Tang Xiluo flipped through the pages: "Huh? I remember I brought it here and put it on the table last night?"
After putting it on the table, I went to sleep. Could it have been robbed?
Isn't this thief too unsophisticated? He didn't steal anything valuable, but just a storybook?
Xiao Mei blinked and said, "Princess, when I came in this morning, I saw the storybook on the table."
She had a good memory and remembered it after taking a glance. Moreover, she had read it with the princess last night with great interest. She also liked reading storybooks, so she naturally paid more attention to it.
Tang Xiluo's eyelids jumped. Could it be that the bastard had handed over her notebook? Or had he thrown it away?
"Forget it, it's just a storybook anyway, so just throw it away. But I haven't finished reading a little bit, so Xiaoli, go buy another one of the same kind."
She had read more than half of a story and was anxious because she hadn't finished reading the ending. After she lost the storybook, her curiosity increased tenfold!
Xiaomei and Xiaoli looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Miss, this is the last human-shemale love affair on the stall."
"Princess, in the past two years, the love story books of humans and demons have been very popular. You are lucky to be able to buy one."
Tang Xiluo was stunned: "No way? The storybook is so popular?"
Xiao Li nodded: "Young ladies from wealthy families all like to read it. They have both time and money, so..." They would all buy it and read it secretly.
Tang Xiluo sighed. She was unwilling to give up until she saw the ending. She was extremely curious.
"No problem. Go buy some other books in a few days."
"By the way, has the prince returned home?"
Xiaoli nodded: "The prince is in the study, Miss, please go and deliver some cakes."
Promote the relationship between husband and wife and consolidate the princess's position. In this way, no matter whether there are concubines or aunts in the backyard in the future, they will not pose a threat to the young lady.
Tang Xiluo nodded: "Okay."
She had a somewhat evasive and withdrawn attitude towards matters of the heart. After all, this was ancient times and it was different from what she knew. She was afraid that she would be assimilated, but also that she was too unconventional and would be considered a monster.
But the two little girls didn't know that they worried a lot about their own feelings.
Outside the study.
"My subordinates see you, Princess."
Tang Xiluo raised his hand: "Get up, can I go into the study? Go in and report."
Lei Er shook his head: "No need to inform, Princess, you can go in directly."
Zhan Jingchen had excellent hearing ability. When he heard Lei Er's words, his face darkened. When had he ever said this before? It was really too bold!
But he still hurriedly hid the notebook and randomly picked out the national laws and regulations from the bookshelf to read.
When Tang Xiluo walked in, he saw him reading a book seriously.
"See you, Your Majesty."
Zhan Jingchen nodded calmly: "Well, what are you doing here?"
Tang Xiluo snorted in his heart. Can't he come here if he has nothing to do? Does he think he is happy to come here?
"I am here to thank the prince. My elder sister has received the imperial edict this morning."
Zhan Jingchen nodded: "Yeah."
Tang Xiluo: “???” So he doesn’t have a mouth? Is he setting up a dumb character today?
She placed the pastries on the right hand side of the man's table.
"The upper room has prepared some cakes. Would Your Majesty like to try some?"
Zhan Jingchen then raised his eyes and glanced at her reluctantly: "What else do you want?" It was not like her character to stay and try to find topics to talk about, unless there was something else.
Tang Xiluo smiled brightly.
"Your Majesty, have you ever seen the notebook on the table in my room?"
The man paused, then said coldly: "I haven't seen it."
Tang Xiluo snorted in his heart. He saw his reaction just now. It would be strange if he hadn't seen it!
"Eh? That's strange. Could there be a thief in the palace? How did my notebook disappear? Your Majesty, you must send someone to catch the thief! Who knows what valuable treasures he might have stolen next time."
Zhan Jingchen: “…” He actually compared himself to a thief?
Before he could say anything more, he heard the little girl shouting on her own initiative.
"Thunder two, thunder three!"
The door of the study was pushed open, and the two subordinates half-knelt and clasped their fists: "What do you want, Princess?"
Zhan Jingchen: “?!!!” Two idiots, can they even tell who is their master? !
Tang Xiluo raised his lips in a foxy way and said seriously, "There's a thief in the palace. We must investigate this matter!"
Zhan Jingchen pursed his lips. Was she ordering her subordinates to arrest him?
Lei Er was stunned. The palace not only had many guards in public, but also many secret guards. It was impossible for a thief to break in.
Lei San also spoke subconsciously: "Princess, there is no way a thief can enter the palace. We will never let any thief in."
If there really was a thief in the palace, it would be because they did not guard it strictly enough. Both the guards in the open and the secret guards in the dark would be punished. Who would dare to be careless?
Tang Xiluo raised his eyebrows: "Really? Then why would I lose things?"
Lei Er was stunned. How could this be possible?! The prince had sent many secret guards to secretly protect the princess, especially the Glazed Pavilion. The Glazed Pavilion was now the safest place in the palace. How could a thief break in?
"Princess, may I ask what you lost?"
Is it possible that I misplaced it? Or maybe I accidentally lost it when I was out of town.
Lei San was honest and said directly, "Princess, where have you been these days? When did you lose the things? I will take people to look for them right away."
Zhan Jingchen listened to them talking one after another with an extremely ugly expression. His wife was really great. She actually dared to give orders to her own guards!
His guards were really good, who said they couldn't tell their masters apart! They even dared to make decisions on their own.
Tang Xiluo sighed, "It must have been lost today. I was reading the book last night and just realized it was missing. I didn't take the book out of the house."
Lei Er Lei San: "..."
The two men were silent, blinking and stealing glances at their master. After returning from court, the master went to the Glazed Pavilion first, and then came to the study with a book in his hand.
But they knew but dared not say it! What should they do? They couldn't afford to offend either the master or the princess.
Fortunately, Zhan Jingchen called them back.
"All of you step aside first and call the butler."
Lei San nodded quickly, then hurried out, but he didn't know why he had to call the butler over.
Lei Er's eyes twitched and he broke into a cold sweat for the butler. If nothing unexpected happened, the butler would be the one to take the blame.
