The rips on the Jifu were neat and it could be seen that they had been cut with a sharp blade.
There is a tight silk embroidery pattern where the tulle flowers are embroidered.
It is dense and thick and cannot be cut easily, so there are many broken stubbles of silk threads at the break, and strands are trailing there.
Xie Ning lowered his head and took a closer look.
He could see that the slit was cut from the upper right corner of the flower to the lower left.
The flower was located at the bottom of the front and was about six or seven inches in size.
The entire piece of Luanniao Qiuyue Tuanhua was almost completely cut off, and there was no way to patch it up.
“When was this discovered and when was it checked last time?”
Qing He and Fang Shanggong's faces were ashen.
Apart from them, only Xia Yue, who went to pick up the auspicious clothes with Qing He, knew about this news.
They were still keeping it a secret from the outside world.
"Yesterday when I was cleaning, I took off the cover and took a look.
It was fine at the time."
The cleaning happened early yesterday morning, and it has been two whole days and one night till now.
Who knows when this was cut?
But one thing is clear.
It is very difficult for someone to sneak into the side hall at night.
The residences of the palace servants and eunuchs are in the row of rooms at the back of Yong'an Palace, and the partition doors and all the palace doors are locked and guarded.
It is impossible to be like in the opera at night.
Yes, as it is written in the storybook, just slip out and burn a piece of paper, meet an old friend and cut a piece of skirt or something like that.
And the number of people who can enter the side hall during the day is also limited.
If we exclude the impossibility of assassins who can climb walls, then the scope of the attackers is actually very small.
Of course it's impossible for an assassin to be an assassin.
If someone has the ability to visit the Forbidden Palace at night, why bother to cut off a skirt out of boredom?
If you want to do it, wouldn't it be more interesting to cut off a head or something?
Xie Ning was silent for a while and did not speak immediately.
Fang Shanggong and Qing He stood aside with ugly expressions on their faces.
The destruction of the auspicious clothes is not a trivial matter.
Needless to say, the canonization ceremony will be affected.
Thinking more deeply, wouldn't this disgrace Xie Ning, the noble concubine, and even the newly canonized title?
Was it cast an ominous shadow?
“Can the skirt be mended?”
Fang Shanggong shook his head.
She was from the needlework bureau and was most familiar with this.
She knew what kind of damage could be repaired and what kind of damage could not be repaired.
"Then I'm afraid it's too late to do it again."
Fang Shanggong nodded again, but she also said another thing: "It is definitely too late to redo something exactly like this one, but according to the slave's past experience, the Needlework Bureau will not just do one thing, they will Always be on guard against the mistress being disobedient to the first thing presented to you.
Satisfied, there is probably a spare one, and the material may be similar to this one, but the embroidery pattern will definitely be different.
The master is now the most noble concubine in the harem, and they are afraid of not being considerate, so they must have a spare one. of."
Xie Ning nodded: "Then go and ask.
If there is one that can be used as a substitute, that would be the best.
If not, think of ways to deal with the canonization in the future.
Don't make any announcement about this matter.
I’ll leave it to you two to find out who did it.
Hu Rong can also inform him, but no one else needs to.”

Fang Shanggong and Qing He were both a little surprised by their master's calmness.
When something like this happened, Xie Ning, apart from being shocked at first and silent afterwards, did not complain angrily, nor did he immediately search for this audacious man with great fanfare.
Insider.
That's right, it's a traitor.
Both Fang Shanggong and Qing He knew that this matter must be the work of an insider.
In addition to the imperial concubine, there are three young masters in Yong'an Palace.
The palace gates are extremely tightly guarded.
Not only the main gate, but also the side gates and corner gates are guarded day and night, making it difficult for outsiders to step past them.
Even the ordinary maids and eunuchs of Yong'an Palace are not allowed to enter the main hall, back hall and small study.
The number of people who can enter can only be counted on ten fingers.
Among these people, except for Xia Yue and Xia Hong, almost all of them are old people who were used by the master when he was in Yingxiang Pavilion.
In the past, I thought these people were reliable, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen.
As Qing He, The face of the eldest palace maid in charge is naturally dull, which is her dereliction of duty.
The same goes for Fang Shang Palace.
I can cut my clothes today, but who knows if they will be poisoned tomorrow?
Qing He gritted his teeth and wanted to find this person out without delay, otherwise he would not be able to sleep peacefully at night.
Even if the master doesn't punish her for her dereliction of duty, Qinghe herself will feel ashamed to stay in the position of a maid in charge.
Who did it?
Judging from the time, many people came in and out of the side hall in two days and one night, and almost everyone was suspected of being involved.
Here Qinghe can exclude himself and Fang Shanggong first, and then follow that silly girl Qinghe.
Although Xia Yue and Xia Hong are new here, they usually behave in a flawless manner, which puts Qing He to shame in some places.
She also knows that being able to be a great palace maid is half a matter of ability and half a matter of qualifications.
After all, she was the one who had been by the master's side since soon after he entered the palace, and nothing could get past her later.
These two people were sent by Bai Hongqi, and the emperor might have the intention behind this, so of course they can be considered reliable.
As for the others, Tao Feng and Yin Zhuer were apprentices of Qinghe and Qingmei.
Of course, their names have also been changed now.
Tao Feng changed his name to Qingyan, while Yin Zhuer's name did not change and was just called Qingzhu.
After the master changed the names of the two of them, their whole spirits were completely different.
Their eagerness to express themselves made Qing He feel helpless sometimes.
Qing He found it hard to believe that the two of them might have been the ones who cut Jifu.
Qing He thought that he was still good at reading people.
The old Tao Feng and the current Qing Yan were so passionate about their master that they were so loyal that when they cleaned the mirror and bedside for their master, they really wanted to paint the mirror.
All ground down.
Qing He also thought it was impossible for the two of them to do such a thing.
The only ones left were a few palace maids who were cleaning, running errands and delivering messages.
Qingyan and the others were also from the same group.
They were all picked out by Zhou Xunchen and sent to Yingxiang Pavilion at that time.
The time they spent together was not short.
It cannot be said that they were not there.
Affectionate.
Because of his affection, Qing He felt extremely angry after something like this happened, as if someone had stabbed him in the back.
If someone outside Yong'an Palace does something hostile and harmful, she will only be angry, not sad, because she is the enemy in the first place.
There is nothing to be sad about, but these people are people in Yong'an Palace.
Unfortunate as it was, Xie Qinghe had absolutely no intention of being soft and fooling around.
First of all, this is not something that can be fooled.

Even if the master doesn't make it public, the emperor will definitely know about it in the end.
Xia Yue came from Bai Hongqi.
If she knew about this, she might not be able to hide it from Bai Hongqi.
If Bai Hongqi knows this, can he not report it to the emperor?
One more thing, this kind of family thief with extraneous intentions is too dangerous.
It can be said that he is the first to be punished among all kinds of enemies.
It is said that it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves day and night.
Who knows what else this person will do.
Now Qinghe is still confused.
Since this person can sneak into the side hall and cut Jifu, why not just do something?
If there is something more serious and serious, if you use your hands and feet on the second prince, half of the sky in Yong'an Palace will collapse.
Although scratching Jifu is a disgusting thing, it is just disgusting after all.
Instead, it exposed the existence of this thief who didn't know who came in.
It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.
Fang Shanggong personally went to the Needlework Bureau, and when he came back he was followed by several people from the Needlework Bureau, carrying several boxes of clothing materials, saying that they were going to make two more cloaks for the three young masters.
This is why Yong'an Palace has such a tone and confidence.
Even if there are no three young masters, it is not a matter of course that the imperial concubine wants to ask for something more than the rules.
These people brought the clothing materials and took the rewards back.
There was indeed some fabric in the few boxes they opened, but one of the boxes contained a crimson Jifu.
Fang Shanggong is an experienced man, and what he said is indeed true.
The needlework bureau has indeed prepared two Jifu.
The material is exactly the same as the previous one of frosty crimson satin.
They are basically cut from the same cloth.
Not only is this one not inferior to the previous one, it even looks more luxurious.
The embroidered Luan bird's eyes are decorated with golden amber stones.
It seems that the needlework bureau's plan is that if the imperial concubine is not satisfied with the first piece, then take out the second piece.
Because of this, this one is more made.
Beautiful, a bit too showy in Xie Ning's eyes, but actually the first one was gorgeous enough in her opinion.
"Then let's do this."
In short, the canonization ceremony can be handled, and there is no need to worry about the details.
Xie Ning asked again: "Don't the people in the needlework bureau know?"
"Only Fu Shanggong probably guessed a little bit, but she is very sensible and will never talk nonsense."
Xie Ning nodded, it would be better to have less trouble.
"You have to take care of these clothes."
Qing He looked ashamed: "Master, don't worry.
I will keep a close eye on you all night long, and we must not let anything go wrong again.
We are just looking for the person who did it, but we have no clues yet."
Because the master could not speak openly, and at such a critical time before the canonization, Qing He could not use his methods even if he had the means.
"Let's wait until after the canonization."
Qing He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded.
Even she found it a bit strange.
The master has a good temper, but this time he is too talkative.
Qing He thought about it, if this happened to him, he would definitely check the lock immediately and never leave such a person around again.
Xie Ning said to Fang Shanggong: "Fang Shanggong is also more concerned about this matter.
After all, Qinghe is still young and can't handle things as thoughtfully as you."

Fang Shanggong also responded quickly.
Qing He also made some suggestions.
Originally, there was no shortage of manpower in Yong'an Palace.
The maids and eunuchs rarely went alone.
Some errands that required running errands were done in pairs.
This was to prevent such unscrupulous behavior of colluding with outsiders.
We need to be more careful here in the future.
Before we find out the traitor, we must not make any more mistakes, and we cannot afford to make any more mistakes
