Your Majesty, the Empress is resigning

Chapter 287 Who Throws The Pot To Her?

In order not to be forced into another marriage by the two old mothers, Nangong Moyan ate his lunch without drinking any tea, and left directly because he was busy with state affairs.

In the afternoon, there were indeed state affairs to be dealt with, and it was necessary to meet the envoys of other countries. Nangong Moyan asked Xiao Yuanbao to wait for him to change clothes.

Xiao Fangzi took out the dragon robe from the cabinet and handed it to Xiao Yuanbao. Xiao Yuanbao helped Nangong Moyan put on the dragon robe. cracks.

If you look carefully, it's not that the middle seam is not sewn well, but that the satin has a hole in the warp and weft.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that wearing a torn dragon robe is very unlucky, Nangong Moyan frowned displeased, and asked, "What's going on?"

Luo Qiqi was standing behind him, she hadn't seen the crack in the front hem, she turned to look at the emperor's question, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Is this the new dragon robe?"

"That's right! The slave took it back in person in the morning!"

Nangong Moyan looked down at his hem, "But, why is there such a big hole here? You let me wear a torn dragon robe, how can I go to see foreign envoys?"

"What's the matter? Here...why is it broken here?" Luo Qiqi squatted down and saw a hole in the chopsticks, and was stunned. How could a new dragon robe be torn like this?
"I want to ask you! Are you being naughty again?"

It is a capital offense to damage the dragon robe, but if Xiao Yuanbao broke it, he doesn't have to hold her accountable.

But if someone else broke it on purpose, then he won't be so easy to talk about!
"It's not me! It can't be me! I took it back and handed it directly to Xiao Fangzi! This slave doesn't even know that the dragon robe is rotten!"

Luo Qiqi also knew that she might make a mistake again, but who threw the blame on her?She doesn't want to carry it!

"Forget it, I'll wear the original one again."

Nangong Moyan took off the broken dragon robe and put on the original old dragon robe.

Before going out, he found Eunuch Xuan and told him, "Eunuch Xuan, you must investigate the damage to the dragon robe. I will see the result when I come back!"

"Here!"

Eunuch Xuan took the order.

After sending the emperor away, Eunuch Xuan came over to take a look at the big tear on the dragon robe, and angrily hit the little Yuanbao on the head with Buddha dust, "You little Yuanbao, our family asked you to pick up the clothes, why don't you know how to check it? But knowing that the Emperor wears a torn dragon robe, it is very unlucky, and destroying the dragon robe privately is also a capital crime of disrespect, and you still haven't confessed honestly, what's going on?"

Luo Qiqi clutched her aching head, with an aggrieved expression on her face, "Eunuch Xuan, I didn't damage the dragon robe, really, I took it back and handed it over to Xiao Fangzi, how did I know that the dragon robe was torn!"

Eunuch Xuan turned to Xiao Fangzi again, and asked, "Little Fangzi! But you did it?"

Xiao Fangzi knelt down with a "plop", "Eunuch Xuan! You are not a slave! Give me 1 guts, and I will not dare to do such a thing! Xiao Yuanbao gave the clothes to the slave, and the slave just shrank in the cabinet It was kept in the store, and when the emperor wanted to wear it, the slaves took it out."

"It's not you, and it's not you. Could it be a problem with the department? Go! Go ask our family."

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Eunuch Xuan took Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Fangzi to the chief's office together.

A group of people came to the Sizhifang, and Xuangong found the chief manager of the Sizhifang, Guo Sizhi, and explained their intentions, "Guo Sizhi, this little ingot came to you to take the emperor's dragon robe, but the dragon robe is broken. Yes, how do you explain it, you Sifangfang?"

"The dragon robe is broken?"

Guo Sizhi's head "boomed" and he almost fainted. The emperor's dragon robe was torn, and now the chief manager came to the door. If he couldn't explain clearly, the entire Sizhi room might be implicated.

After seeing the dragon robe, Guo Sizhi found that the dragon robe was not a workmanship error, it looked like man-made damage, "Xuan Gonggong, after this dragon robe is sewn, I have seen it with my own eyes, and there is no problem. How can it be damaged now?" this circumstance occurs?"

Eunuch Xuan shook a handful of Buddha dust, and said coldly, "Then I have to ask the person in charge of the house. If you don't give an explanation, the emperor will blame you, and this old slave can't afford it!"

"Mr. Xuan, please be safe and don't be impatient. I will call the person in charge of the office to ask."

Guo Sizhi gathered all the people in the department's room in the courtyard. The director and the embroiderers didn't know what happened, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Guo Sizhi lifted up the torn dragon robe for everyone to see clearly, and asked on the spot, "The little father-in-law Yuanbao came to pick up the dragon robe, who did he ask for it?"

"It's a servant girl!" Embroidered girl Xiaotan stood up, knowing that the dragon robe was damaged, she was terrified.

"Do you know that the emperor's dragon robe has been damaged? Tell me! Did you do it?"

When Xiao Tan heard this, he knelt down in fright and called out his innocence, "Sizhi, I have been wronged, how dare I damage the dragon robe? Please listen to my explanation, it was my servant who received Xiao Yuanbao, but my servant let Xiao Rong go The dragon robe I brought."

"Xiao Rong!"

Guo Sizhi stared at Xiao Rong again with sharp eyes.

Xiao Rong's face was already pale with fright. After hearing the roll call, she hurried out of the queue, knelt beside Xiao Tan, and explained anxiously, "The secretary is not the work of the servant. The servant just went to the display room and brought out the tray. , The servant girl just lifted the cover cloth on it and took a look, and after confirming that it was a dragon robe, she took it out, but she didn't know about the damage of the dragon robe, so I would like to ask Si Zhi to enlighten me."

Both Xiao Tan and Xiao Rong said it wasn't them, and Guo Sizhi asked again, "Then who folded the dragon robe last night?"

"It's the servant girl!" Xiaocui knelt down, but denied it, "But when the servant girl took the dragon robe off the hanger, she checked it and found that the dragon robe was intact, there can't be such a big crack that the servant girl couldn't see."

Guo Sizhi asked all the embroiderers again, "Now I'm asking you, and you have to answer truthfully. Are you negligent during the sewing process?"

"No... not..."

All the embroidered girls shook their heads and said in a hurry.

There was no result after a round of inquiries, and Guo Sizhi also had a headache, so he asked Xuan Gonggong, "Xuan Gonggong, our company has always been cautious in building houses, and this kind of mistake will never happen, but now the dragon robe is indeed damaged, and I can't find a clue. , what should I do?"

"Our family has nothing to do, but the emperor said that he will see the result after meeting the envoys."

It was the first time that Eunuch Xuan encountered such a thing, and he lost his mind for a while.

Luo Qiqi had been thinking about which link had the problem. Thinking about what everyone said carefully, it seemed that they were not guilty, but it seemed that they all had inescapable responsibilities.

If she got the dragon robe at that time, shook it out and found the crack in time, then the problem must be in the department.

But she took it back and locked it for a few more hours, and even handled Xiaofangzi, so it would be troublesome to check it now.

Ancient times were not as advanced as modern technology, and there was no monitoring, so the situation has become complicated now.

Even if fingerprints can be collected, it is unrealistic. After all, many embroidered women rushed to make this dragon robe day and night.

Mr. Xuan said that waiting was not an option, he said, "Guo Sizhi, why don't we take people back first, and then you check carefully, be sure to be careful, this is not a trivial matter, the emperor blames it, and your entire Sizhi room can't bear it." Everyone will be punished!"

"I know Mr. Xuan, and I hope Mr. Xuan will give me some kind words in front of the emperor."

After everyone had left, Luo Qiqi voluntarily stayed to assist in the investigation, thinking of a certain possibility, she asked, "Do you know, apart from me coming to the office to pick up the dragon robe, is there any other outsider here? "
