Chapter 1241: Theft from the Palace

According to Gu Chunzhu's report from the people in the palace, Xuanyuan Lie has been in and out of the emperor's bedroom every day in the past few days.

Gu Chunzhu guessed that the emperor was probably going to be in a bad way this time, and she had to plan for the worst, so she must immediately pass the news to Su Wangqin and Xiaocheng.

Soon Gu Chunzhu wrote a family letter with hidden information. She called Wang Kun and handed it over to him properly and asked, "Butler Wang, what happened to the thing I asked you to check for me?"

"Madam Hui, I've already checked out the details, and in a day or two, I'll be able to get a definite answer." Wang Kun said with a confident look, "I don't think it's inseparable, Madam, what do you think? Not at all right."

Hearing this, Gu Chunzhu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "You can't guess right, you must show evidence, this matter must be done well, and there must be no flaws."

Wang Kun took the order, and left with the family letter. Gu Chunzhu had no appetite, so he asked Liu's mother to take all the food.

She paced silently in the room by herself, frowning and thinking, according to the day, the youngest son of the new crown prince should have a big banquet to celebrate soon, and he will definitely come to invite her, no accident. This is a good opportunity, she must seize it.

Sure enough, a few days after Gu Chunzhu's letter was sent out, Xuanyuan Lie sent someone to the General's Mansion to deliver the invitation, set a date for the child's birthday and invited her to the Prince's Mansion as a guest.

Looking at the black writing on the red invitation, Gu Chunzhu let out a cold chuckle.

"Madam, are you really going?" Liu's mother was worried that it would not be safe for Gu Chunzhu to go to the general's mansion alone, but Wang Kun came in in a hurry at this moment, not only that, but her arms were bulging, as if Like carrying something.

Gu Chunzhu saw his eyes light up, and immediately asked Liu's mother to close the door.

Mother Liu didn't know why she was so happy all of a sudden, so she had to close the door, and when she looked back, she saw Wang Kun took out the things in her arms and put them on the table.

"Butler Wang, what are these?" Mother Liu asked in confusion as she walked back.

Wang Kun made a silent motion towards her, and winked at Gu Chunzhu's direction.

I saw that she opened it for a long time, checked it carefully, and finally took out an embroidered purse to look inside and out.

"Tomorrow, you will find an excuse. When the banquet starts, you must block him and Mrs. Zhiyuan in her room." Gu Chunzhu picked up a jade pendant beside him and glanced at it, a deep calculation flashed in his eyes, "These things you Put it away, I will show Xuanyuanlie a good show tomorrow!"

"It's Madam, I've already made arrangements." Wang Kun stepped forward to put the things away and put them back into his arms. Then he hurriedly went out again, leaving the confused mother Liu to look at Gu in confusion. Chunzhu, look at Wang Kun who has left.

"Ma'am, this purse and that jade pendant belong to women, aren't they? Why are they in a man's belongings?" Mama Liu looked puzzled.

Hearing this, Gu Chunzhu nodded calmly, as if he was relieved, "It's a woman's thing, and it's not clean when it's in the hands of a man, so there are articles to do."

"Mother Liu will prepare the clothes for tomorrow's banquet for me. I am attending as the general's wife, but I must have the most basic decency and aura." Gu Chunzhu raised his eyebrows and couldn't wait for tomorrow's big show.

Since the emperor fell ill on the bed, Xuanyuan Lie became more arrogant with each passing day, so it was only Mrs. Zhiyuan who gave birth to a son, so he had to organize a feast of extravagance and waste, and the palace was preparing for it. .

Gu Chunzhu walked across the covered bridge in the back garden of the palace, and glanced at the maids who were going in and out. The maids were busy with this, and he was full of disdain.

By the time Gu Chunzhu arrived, many important officials of the court had already taken their seats. She knew that many of the people here were from Xuanyuan Lie, so she didn't say any more greetings, so she sat quietly on her seat.

When he raised his head, Gu Chunzhu saw Xuanyuan Lie's appearance like the emperor, appeared surrounded by everyone, glanced at himself triumphantly, and sat on the throne with no one else.

Xuanyuan Lie first showed off his son to the crowd, and then when the eunuch said that the banquet could be opened, he happily prepared to greet everyone, but suddenly found that Mrs. Zhiyuan hadn't come yet.

He frowned and waved at the maid who was holding the child, "Where has Mrs. Zhiyuan gone, why hasn't she come yet?"

He was dark-faced when suddenly he heard the sound of a group of guards in front of the imperial guard running by in unison not far away. He frowned and scolded, "What's going on."

Before Xuanyuan Lie could finish his words, he heard a guard reporting that someone in the palace had stolen and that the stolen goods had been searched, but the guard who stole had disappeared out of thin air.

"His Royal Highness, Yichen sees this guard as a potential threat. In order to prevent him from jumping off the wall and hurting you, please go in and rest for a while, and report to me when the thief is taken down by the minister."

Xuanyuan Lie saw that the guard was plausible and even took out all the stolen goods. Although he didn't look carefully, he still agreed with him with a big wave of his hand.

"It's really a disappointment." Xuanyuan Lie got up, and after he entered the hall, the eunuch asked everyone sitting outside to follow him.

After Gu Chunzhu waited for everyone to sit down, he asked with a slight smile, "Prince, why hasn't Mrs. Zhiyuan come yet? The banquet is about to start, so what if this important person hasn't come yet?"

Saying that, she slowly got up and walked to the nurse.

, looked at the child who was still in the swaddle and smiled gently, "Prince, this child is really cute."

As Gu Chunzhu said that, she raised her hand slightly and touched it. No one noticed that she had put a little chili water on her fingertips. Sure enough, after a while, the child began to cry.

"His Royal Highness, why does this child cry so hard, do you miss Mrs. Zhiyuan?"

Xuanyuan Lie was originally upset because of the thief in the palace, and now seeing Mrs. Zhiyuan lately coming, he suddenly became agitated, gave Gu Chunzhu a stern look, and stood up abruptly to find Mrs. Zhiyuan.

As soon as Xuanyuan Lie left, Gu Chunzhu asked the nanny to hug him and follow him.

When he arrived at Mrs. Zhiyuan's place, Xuanyuan Lie saw that the door was closed, and became even more impatient. He pushed open the door suddenly, only to see a figure flashing past. Mrs. Zhiyuan saw her face was very ugly, and she was even a little panicked.

Xuanyuan Lie wanted to reprimand her, but suddenly remembered the words of the guard, and immediately pulled her to his side and asked, "Is someone here? Is it an assassin? Or a thief?"

"No, no one is here!" Madam Zhiyuan felt that her heart was about to stop for a beat, and she didn't have time to think about it, but she denied it first.
