Chapter 426: Something Happened
He was not sure if what Wei Yuanwei said was true or not, but Wei Yuanwei's expression made him believe it.
"Prince, prince, Eunuch Li from the Queen's Palace is here, and he said he needs to find Miss Wei!" Xiao Yunzi's anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Zhong Lixian's thoughts were interrupted, Eunuch Li? What's the matter with Wei Yuanwei at this late hour?
Wei Yuanwei also opened her eyes at this time.
"Prince, this servant specially took Miss Wei to Wanhualou at the emperor's and queen's orders!" Eunuch Li opened the door and walked in.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Lixian sat on the bed and glanced at Wei Yuanwei beside him.
"Well, this old slave can't explain the matter clearly for a while, so I invite the prince and Miss Wei to go to the Wanhua Tower!" Eunuch Li said righteous words without any room for negotiation.
Zhong Lixian looked suspicious, thinking about what happened tonight really made him very puzzled.
In the Wanhua Building, the officials were still watching the dance on the stage in the outer room, exchanging greetings with each other.
But in the inner room, the prince and concubine all gathered.
When Zhong Lixian and Wei Yuanwei entered, they noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Father, mother, I don't know what's the matter with Miss Wei?" Zhong Lixian stood up from the wheelchair, saluted the emperor and the queen and asked.
The queen's gaze directly passed Zhong Lixian and fell on Wei Yuanwei.
"Just now, when the fourth concubine accompanied the fifth concubine to change clothes, I found that the picture of Dongpo that should have been placed on the axis was missing..." The queen spoke with a heavy tone, carrying a dignified appearance.
gone? It's just a fake. If it disappears, it disappears. What does it mean to call them back?
Zhong Lixian's long and narrow eyes looked at the queen with deep watery eyes. It seemed that the queen had fallen into the queen's trap since the beginning when the queen asked him to take Wei Yuanwei to the banquet.
"Miss Wei, do you think you took that picture of Dongpo?" The fourth concubine stood up and glanced up and down at Wei Yuanwei, her narrow eyes shot out from the bottom of her eyes, making people very uncomfortable .
"Fourth princess, Miss Wei left with me. When did you go into the inner hall to get the picture of Dongpo? Besides, the picture of Dongpo is just a fake. If Miss Wei likes it, I can ask someone to draw a picture of Dongpo. Hundreds!" Zhong Lixian's cold eyes raised to the side, and the cold air emanating from his body made the fourth princess speechless.
"Prince, we don't know whether the Dongpo map is a fake or not. The only one who knows is Miss Wei. If she deliberately misrepresents the deer as a horse and calls the real thing a fake, then she takes away the Dongpo map while no one is paying attention. What about it?" The fourth prince stood up in time and said.
"Without evidence, do you all want to pour dirty water on Miss Wei?" Zhong Lixian said angrily, "Maybe some dirty servant took it away!"
"I have already ordered people to thoroughly investigate all the servants present!" said the queen.
"Prince, it is really difficult for us not to doubt it. The first ones to leave the table were the Crown Prince and Miss Wei. Naturally, my younger brother would not doubt the Prince, but Miss Wei..." the Fourth Prince continued.
"Miss Wei has always been with Bengong, and has never left Bengong's sight!" Zhong Lixian responded coldly, with such a forceful aura that the Fourth Prince did not dare to say a word.
"Okay, originally the emperor and this palace didn't want to pursue this matter any further. After all, it is a fake, but what the fourth princess said is not unreasonable. We don't know whether the painting is real or not. They have been searched one by one and interrogated carefully. If it is not taken by the slave, then it is taken by the master. A painting cannot disappear for no reason. Only princes, concubines and concubines can enter this inner palace. Come on, then we will search on the master." After the queen finished speaking dignifiedly, she said to the emperor at the side: "Your majesty, although this matter is a little inappropriate, but this is the only way to find out the truth of the matter. If that If the secondary painting can be proved to be a fake, there is no need to go through so much trouble..."
The queen seems to be fair and considers everything for everyone, but Zhong Lixian knows that the queen is framing Wei Yuanwei.
Once searched, the painting is likely to be found from Wei Yuanwei.
The emperor nodded after hearing this, and then said to Wei Yuanwei who was still silent at the side: "Miss Wei, can you guarantee that the painting just now is a fake?"
Wei Yuanwei looked at Zhong Lixian, Zhong Lixian's expression was extremely affirmative.
"Yes, that painting is a fake!" Wei Yuanwei replied very firmly.
When the emperor heard these words, he felt a little troubled.
The fourth concubine said, "Miss Wei, you have already taken that painting away. Of course you said that the painting is a fake! Do you dare to have the emperor and the empress search? No... search the crown prince's womb?"
"Presumptuous, fourth princess, do you even want to search the uterus of this palace?" Zhong Lixian immediately scolded, with the veins on his forehead protruding: "This palace suspects that you are a thief calling for a thief. Frame it on Miss Wei!"
"Prince, the concubine and Miss Wei don't know each other, why do you want to frame her? Besides, the concubine has been in this palace all the time, and has never left this table at all. Everyone can see it!" When Zhong Lixian said this, he was in a hurry.
Zhong Lixian snorted coldly: "Maybe the painting is gone when you take it back, you let your maidservant put the painting in the inner hall at will, but who will see if your maidservant is real?" Did you put the painting on the table in the inner hall, or did you get it somewhere else secretly? If you want to search, you should search the palace first!"
"You..." The fourth concubine was completely speechless by Zhong Lixian.
"Enough, it will be the New Year in a few hours, it's just a painting, I will give the palace a new painting!" The emperor really didn't want to get entangled in this matter.
The first is to search the uterus, and then the palace is to be searched. Do you want to pass this year?
"Father, this picture of Dongpo is from the work of Master Jiang Liang. How many people want to get his painting. If this painting is true or false, then I will not hold on to it tightly. My son is afraid of that painting." The painting is real, but it was said to be fake by someone with a heart..." The fourth prince said earnestly, but he seemed very wronged.
"My lord and my concubine, since you couldn't trust the girl at the beginning, why did you need the girl to tell the truth? And why did you believe what the girl said? Why did you randomly place the painting on the table in the inner hall afterwards? What the prince said is also true. It's not unreasonable, who knows if the maid really put the paintings on the table in the inner hall when she received them?" Wei Yuanwei said to herself with a calm face and cold eyes.
