C337 Piracy treasure

"Look at what Grandma Mu has said. This King is only joking with you. Let's go back to the palace and talk about whatever it is that you have to say. Otherwise, I will be making a fool of myself here." Helian Meng smiled sinisterly as he shot a glance at the eunuch. His gaze was firmly fixed on the cloth bundle in his hands.

The eunuch lowered his head, his expression somewhat unsightly. He respectfully offered it up with both hands. "Eighth Prince, Senior Servant Liu seems to have left something behind. I'll hand it over to you as well."

Helian Meng took it and opened it to take a look. Inside were all small pieces of jewelry and precious items. Under the light of a dozen or so bright lanterns, it was dazzling and radiant.

He picked up a jade hairpin, which was lustrous and smooth. There were a few pigeon blood rubies inlaid with silk twining, forming a plum flower. The flawless and rare workmanship of the jade ware itself made it easy to tell that it was worth a lot.

"It seems like mufei hasn't been looking for this for a long time?" Could it be that Nanny Liu found it and wants to return it to her? " Helian Meng smiled sinisterly as he thanked the eunuch and led the way. Behind him, more than ten palace maids and eunuchs carried lanterns as they followed, escorting Senior Servant Liu within.

The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was actually drenched in sweat from the cold spring air.

This eunuch was not an ordinary person, he was the young overseer of the palace. Although he was just a eunuch, he was also a character that many powerful officials of the imperial court wanted to curry favor with, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

As a result, Helian Meng only looked deeply at him and did not seek his guilt.

However, everyone in the palace knew Helian Meng's temperament. He was the complete opposite of the crown prince Helian Yu. He had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was extremely friendly with others. Helian Yu seemed cold and ruthless, but in reality, he never cared about trifling matters, nor did he casually punish these palace people.

The next day, the news spread out through the palace that the eighth prince had spent the entire night crying and begging for help, but no one knew which palace maid he was torturing.

On the surface, Helian Meng was gentle, gentle, refined, and courteous. He had a gentle, humble attitude within the imperial court.

He didn't like women, but he loved to torture the young and beautiful maids of the palace. He summoned them to the palace and lynched them in secret, making them look unharmed, but unable to endure the torture.

No one knew for what reason this perverted hobby of his was born, but in the end, some pretty and pretty young palace maids trembled when they saw him and took a detour.

When Helian Yu heard this, he calmly knocked on the table and asked, "What did the Young Prefecture Overseer say?"

The spy in front of him recounted what had happened last night, saying, "Young Master Yu is extremely apprehensive, afraid that he will be provoked this time and end badly."

"Tell him that I will ensure his safety." Then he sneered coldly, "Now is a good time. Let's have him deliver a message to Senior Servant Liu and have her seek out Imperial Concubine Zuo for a favor. Remember to leak this news and let royal father know first. "

"Yes."

Helian Yu leisurely took out his soul orb, looked at the sunlight for a while, and muttered, "Rest assured, no matter what, I will find the sacrificial victim and let you revive. If nothing unexpected happens, you should... "Soon."

When Senior Servant Liu went to the Li Jing Palace to complain, Helian Hua was there as well. She listened impatiently, and felt that this woman deserved it. Because she was Helian Meng's wet nurse, she had smuggled the rewards out of the palace many times.

Zuo Lian's brow furrowed as he finished listening, and he had Senior Servant Liu roll up her sleeves and pants. There were no injuries on her well-maintained skin, but it was unknown what sort of method she used to do it, but once she touched it, she shrieked miserably.

"This is …" by pinching? "

Senior Servant Liu was crying as she replied, she wanted someone to cover her with a thick piece of paper and beat her until she broke all of it. This method of beating someone didn't leave any traces of the caning, but it left them with bruises and bruises, making it impossible to even touch them.

"Servant …" Even if he had committed a crime, he would have been punished, and everything would have been handed over … "May the eighth prince spare your servant's life, esteemed imperial concubine …"

Zuo Lian was also quite angry, but in the end, Liu mama was someone she had picked from her family. Not only had she been served since childhood, but she had also served Helian Meng for eighteen years after entering the palace.

Zuo Lian thought that with the punishment coming to this point, it was more or less enough. It was enough for her to give him some color. He then humphed and said: "Next time, I'll tell you to do this kind of thing again!"

"I don't dare to …" "This servant doesn't dare to do anything else. The eighth prince insisted that this servant stole the jade hairpin, but it was obviously bestowed by the esteemed wangfei …" According to the rules of the palace, the concubines were not allowed to take things that they bestowed upon their servants out of the palace to sell, so they were only allowed to look at them and only allowed to bring them out when they left the palace.

"Alright, alright, I will tell Meng'er."

Zuo Lian sent her off in annoyance, and in the blink of an eye, word had spread that Helian Yuan Chen had arrived.

Helian Peng's face was full of nervousness. He tightly gripped Zuo Lian's buckwheat sleeves and whispered, "Mufei, don't forget what I said."

"Got it." Zuo Lian's eyes were filled with helplessness and affection for his daughter.

This daughter of his was bewitched by something. She came back from Dongyuan and wanted to marry that War God, Xiao Yixiu. She even said that he had just lost his wife and that it was a good time for him to propose a marriage.

Opening the beaded curtain, Helian Yuan Chen strode in with a look of displeasure on his face.

Actually, the Northern Chu Emperor was already over a hundred years old. However, she still looked as spirited as ever. Her aura was magnificent, and her facial features were deep and handsome. She looked very much like him.

Zuo Lian welcomed her with a smile. Before she could even mention the matter of Helian Xianzi, Helian Yuan Chen had already started asking about the treasures of Senior Servant Liu's palace, and had secretly sent people out to sell them.

Zuo Lian did not expect that this matter would have already reached the emperor's ears. He was shocked and confused, and explained a few more words, but then he heard him sneer: "What a bold slave, and you even protected her! "After being Meng'er's wet nurse for a few days, she became so arrogant that she didn't even know the weather. Meng'er deserved it even if she was beaten to death!"

Zuo Lian didn't know why he was so angry over such a small matter. Was something bothering him in the court causing him to be angry?

After hearing him berate a few more times, she understood that the Young Manor Overseer Yu Cheng Fu had made a complaint before he went to the Imperial Palace, saying that the wet nurse, Mrs Liu, had used her beauty to lure people, hoping to steal and sell the palace property. Moreover, there was even a priceless jade hairpin among them, whose origins were unknown.

Zuo Lian heard from Senior Servant Liu about the jade hairpin and hurriedly said, "That was something concubine used to wear. I gave it to her. She's guilty of sneaking out of the palace, but it really wasn't theft …"

Helian Yuan Chen's face darkened. He pulled out a jade hairpin from his sleeve and asked, "Are you sure you gave this to her?"
