Until noon, Yang Shu could not find out the reason.
Cheng Zheng stayed in the Ministry of Punishment and had lunch with Yang Shu.
During this period, an officer from the Ministry of Punishment came to report that someone was coming to Duanhou Mansion.
When Cheng Zheng saw that Jin Feng was coming, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and stood up, "What's the matter?"
Jinfeng replied, "Young madam asked her subordinates to come and ask the young master if he would go back to his house for lunch at noon."
Cheng Zheng approached Jin Feng and said, "I'm not going back.
Tell Yishan you don't have to wait for me."
Then Cheng Zheng took advantage of Yang Shu's inattention and handed Jin Feng a note.
Jin Feng nodded knowingly, "I'm resigning."
In the afternoon, Cheng Zheng and Yang Shu went to the Palace of Ninghe together.
No matter how much Jiaorong was not favored by the emperor, at least she was still a princess and there was no reason to be summoned to the Ministry of Punishment.
The two of them first went to the Imperial Study Room to meet the emperor and reported the progress of the case.
The emperor ordered someone to invite Jiao Rong.
Jiao Rong came, and after all the parties had met with him, there was no need for any extraneous rhetoric.
The emperor said to Yang Shu and Cheng Zheng, "You can ask, and I will listen."
"Yes," Yang Shu replied to the emperor first and asked Jiao Rong, "I dare to ask the third princess, one month ago, on the day when the emperor held a banquet for the emperor's eldest grandson, did the princess go to the imperial garden and meet anyone?"
Cheng Zheng had already asked Jinfeng to come and explain, and Jiaorong was well prepared and confident, "At dusk that day, I went from Ninghe Hall to Qingxi Hall and met Yonghou Cheng Yuanxin in the Imperial Garden."
"What did you say?"
"This," Jiaorong hesitated to speak and looked at the emperor.
The emperor said sternly, "Just tell the truth about what you did."
"Yes," Jiao Rong responded, "I have been friends with Yuan Xin since childhood, so I asked him to make a Phoenix Containing Nine Beads."
The emperor asked, "Do you know what Fenghan Jiuzhu is?
You are neither your direct descendant nor your elder brother.
What do you want with it?"
"Father, forgive me."
If it were normal times, Jiaorong would have knelt down and begged for mercy when the emperor criticized him because of his cowardly character.
But today, Jiaorong seems to be a different person, with twelve points more courage, "My child made Fenghan The Nine Pearls are not for my own use, but for Sister Huang."
"Really?"
The emperor was doubtful.
"Exactly, the child knows that he is humble, and even if he has the courage, he would not dare to wear the phoenix with nine beads.
The child just wants to give it to the eldest sister.
The first day of June is the day to sacrifice to heaven, and the daughter wants to see the eldest sister wearing the phoenix.
Containing nine beads, I pray for God's blessings, good weather, prosperity, and prosperity."
The emperor seemed to be feeling emotional, "Since the queen passed away, I haven't seen Feng Han Jiu Zhu for more than ten years."
Jiaorong thought that the emperor's intention was just right, and said happily, "My child, let someone go to Ninghe Hall to get it."
The emperor said disgustedly, "Leave it to the Internal Affairs Bureau.
You will be the one to forge the Phoenix Nine Pearls when needed."
Jiao Rong regained her previous weakness and timidly replied, "Yes, then I will hand it over to the eldest sister of the emperor from the Lao Nei Bureau."
The emperor said angrily, "When did I say that I would use the pearl hairpin you made to Ming'an and inform the Internal Affairs Bureau to dissolve it and make another one?"
The one who had the biggest reaction at the moment was not Jiao Rong, but Cheng Zheng, "Your Majesty, please think twice.
This is the third princess's wish anyway.
Besides, it takes a long time to create the Phoenix Nine Pearls.
There are only five or six days before the first day of June."
Given the time, the Internal Affairs Bureau may not be able to do it.”
The emperor showed no mercy, "Then we will work hard day and night."

After saying this, the emperor seemed to suddenly feel his heart tightening, and looked at Cheng Zheng coldly, "You are quite concerned about Jiaorong's matter, and you have spoken out to plead for her."
Cheng Zheng hurriedly knelt down, "I was just thinking about not delaying my sacrifice to heaven.
I went overboard.
Your Majesty, I will forgive you."
The emperor did not speak.
Everyone in the palace lowered their heads and held their breath.
There was a dead silence.
The emperor's eyes rolled a few times suspiciously, and Fang Heyan said cheerfully, "It doesn't matter, I have never treated you as an outsider, so it's not an overstep.
You get up."
Cheng Zheng did not dare to relax, "The emperor expresses his love, and I am frightened.
I must be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, showing a loving look on his face, "I have watched you grow up, and I have always been optimistic about you."
Cheng Zheng was not flattered, but was wary.
He secretly broke into a cold sweat and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor said to Jiao Rong, "You made the Phoenix Nine Pearls privately this time.
I believe that you are not greedy and I will not punish you.
You can go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors.
Don't do any more transgressions."
"Yes, thank you very much, father.
I will take my leave."
The bright face is still like a humble and insignificant grain of sand, unable to enter the eyes of the emperor.
Why on earth is it because my biological mother was born as a palace maid?
A lowly person will never be taken seriously even if she gives birth to an heir?
The eldest sister was given a title when she was born.
I am already thirteen years old, and no one regards me as the rightful owner.
I try to please, be cautious, and flatter everywhere, but I am always looked down upon and humiliated.
I am your daughter too.
I also have royal blood flowing in my body.
Why do I always deserve to be abandoned?
Why don’t you take a second look at me no matter what I do?
Is the status of a biological mother really that important?
Is the distinction between legitimate and concubine really true?
Do you have to be so obvious?
What do I need to do to be valued by you, to be cared for and cared for by you like a sister, and to laugh and talk freely with you like a family?
I am willing to do anything.
I really am willing to do anything.
Please tell me what I should do. how to do The changes in Jiao Rong before and after were all seen by Cheng Zheng.
She was strong and decisive when testifying for Yuan Xin, but timid when talking about herself.
How much strength and support Yuan Xin gave her, and how important it was in her heart.
Even a weak woman could be so strong.
Cheng Zheng sighed in his heart that the palace, which was envied by the world, could never give people happiness.
After Jiao Rong went out, it became clear that Yuan Xin was not involved in the theft.
Cheng Zheng did not ask the emperor to release Yuan Xin.
First, he secretly made royal artifacts and broke into the palace.
It was certain that he could not escape.

Furthermore, the case had not yet been concluded and he had to be sentenced first.
Yuanxin is inevitably defective.
At least he has nothing to do with the theft, so he shouldn't be tried again.
One day earlier and one day later doesn't make much difference.
Cheng Zheng asked the emperor, "Now Yuan Xin's charge of theft has been cleared, but the clues have been cut off.
According to the inquiry from the imperial guards who participated in the arrest that night, the man in black came out of the Xichen Palace and went to the Liyue Hall. , and then accidentally arrested Yuan Xin, so I asked for instructions to check in the backyard of the Riyue Hall, maybe there will be any clues left. " Yang Shu also agreed, otherwise there would be no way to investigate.
The emperor was apprehensive, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't the director of the Ritual Music Hall report back that everything in the backyard is the same?"
Yang Shu cupped his hands and answered, "Back to the Emperor, after all, the Master in charge only takes care of things in the Ritual and Music Hall and has no experience in handling cases.
It is inevitable that there will be omissions.
The focus of the investigation is not the same as what I asked.
Everything the Master said is irrelevant.
No, maybe it’s just that nothing is missing in the museum, so I asked to go check it out in person.”
The emperor nodded.
This was the only way at the moment.
It was already the second day.
If there was no way to start, it would inevitably cause loss of face in front of the people of the North.
"Okay, go check it out, but no one is allowed in except the two of you.
Also, don't go near the houses in the courtyard."
"I accept the decree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor sighed softly, "Ming'an, take them there."
Cheng Zheng and Yang Shu entered the backyard.
Two days had passed.
What else could they find?
Moreover, Jinfeng had been here last night and found nothing.
The obvious traces were probably destroyed by the servants who cleaned the yard.
The courtyard was very quiet and there was no one around.
Cheng Zheng and Yang Shu split up and looked around carefully.
This pile of grass lay irregularly on the ground, as if it had been pressed down by something.
Cheng Zheng peeled away the grass here, revealing the covered soil.
Several vague footprints could be seen.
Could it be that the thieves were hiding that night?
If it were so bright here He would be discovered later, so how did he escape?
Yao Luo said that he had always sent people to guard the surroundings, and strictly checked people entering and leaving.
Could it be someone in the museum did it?
Cheng Zheng called Yang Shu over, and the two After some discussion, they continued to investigate.
Cheng Zheng followed the road to the end without finding anything.
He stood there and looked around, focusing on a tile in the corner of the wall.
The bright yellow glazed tile had a copper coin-sized gap in the corner of the wall.
Such a small gap was inconspicuous.
Most people would not notice the corner of the wall.
Cheng Zheng walked closer and looked at the gap.
It was as white as new and must have been broken in recent days.
Cheng Zheng knelt down and pulled away the grass and a few fallen leaves.
He saw this piece of broken tile that was as big as a thumbnail.

He picked it up and looked up at the gap.
It matched.
But what does this mean?
How hard can the tiles crack like this?
Cheng Zheng tried to imagine the scene at that time.
When he stood up, he found a piece of dead ants in the corner.
In the center of the ants was a black pill the size of a millet grain. , Cheng Zheng quickly picked up a leaf, wrapped the pill, stuffed it into his waist, and used two more leaves to cover the group of ants.
Cheng Zheng stood up and walked towards Yang Shu and asked him if he had found anything.
Yang Shu said there was nothing unusual.
Cheng Zheng nodded, and the two of them continued to explore the backyard until dusk.
Nothing new was discovered except a patch of pressed grass and vague footprints.
Yang Shu said, "The thieves are hiding here, so it can be seen that it was done by outsiders.
We can only ask Yao Luo about the details of the entrance and exit of the Ritual Music Hall that morning."
Cheng Zheng asked, "How can we see it?"
Yang Shu's sophisticated analysis said, "If he is from the museum, he will definitely sneak back into his room when he comes back.
Why squat in the grass."
Cheng Zheng nodded, "What Mr.
Cha said makes sense."
Yang Shu took on a fierce stance, "So the thief will definitely find a way to get out before he is discovered.
Let's ask Yao Luo tomorrow who was in and out that early morning and whether he has the exact identity card."
"Just what you said."
Although Cheng Zheng already had the answer in his mind, he also wanted to know who the person squatting in the grass was and how he escaped.
