Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

 Fortunately, the emperor has his own judgment.

He folded his hands and frowned: "I remember that the imperial army enshrined the glazed Buddha on a slightly higher shrine and bathed it in incense."

“Miss Qi’s height does not seem to knock down the glass Buddha, unless she stands on tiptoes and deliberately throws the glass Buddha to the ground, but she has no reason to do so.”

Concubine Qi looked at Qi Xiuwei with dark eyes: "Weier, you really didn't break the glass Buddha, did you?"

 Not waiting for Qi Xiuwei to nod.

Everyone only listened to Concubine Qi saying to the emperor: "It seems that there is really a naughty eagle. What Wei'er said should be true. It was the eagle that flew into the Zhaori Tower and accidentally broke the Glazed Buddha into pieces. Later, they heard that Only when someone came in did he fly away again."

 The emperor pondered: "If you say so, it is possible."

Concubine Qi glanced at Qi Xiuwei calmly.

“Your Majesty only needs to find out who keeps the eagles in the palace, investigate and hold them accountable, and then he can give an explanation to the people.”

 Qi Xiuwei's face turned pale.

Pei Yin!

If she did not plead guilty, Pei Yin would become the culprit.

 The emperor has already asked the people around him: "Do you know where eagles are kept in the palace?"

Shen Ningning was about to help explain, but unexpectedly, Qi Xiuwei suddenly knelt down.

"Your Majesty," she said, her face pale, her lips bloodless, and her eyes dark and gloomy: "I lied, I'm sorry."

Everyone was surprised, even the emperor turned around in surprise and looked at her again.

“You lied? Could it be that you really broke it?”

Qi Xiuwei's eyes were already red: "Yes... because I have always been curious about the appearance of the Glazed Buddha, so I wanted to go in and take a closer look when there was no one around."

“Unexpectedly, when I took it down, I accidentally broke it into pieces. When the emperor questioned me, I denied it because I was afraid of being punished.”

Shen Ningning knew at a glance that she was protecting Pei Yin.

So she anxiously said: "Xiaowei! You have seen the Glazed Buddha, don't you want..."

Before she could finish her words, Qi Xiuwei lowered her head even lower and interrupted: "This matter is the responsibility of my daughter alone. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

 Qi Xiuwei kowtowed deeply.

 Shen Ningning was stunned on the spot.

 She did this to take the blame for Pei Yin.

 But is it worth it? Does she know that Pei has been corresponding with some girl for a long time in private?

　　Maybe the two of them have developed feelings for each other.

Mo Lingwei saw Shen Ningning's expression and knew that this matter was not that simple.

He took the initiative to advise the emperor: "Father, I think this matter is doubtful, so why not send all the girls home first, and then investigate and interrogate if you are free tomorrow."

“The most urgent thing is that the common people will enter the palace immediately, and the Glazed Buddha has been destroyed, so my father needs to bring something else as compensation.”

The emperor frowned and felt deeply: "What you said is correct, but it has been announced to the outside world that it is Liuli Buddha. Now, will it be difficult to accept the temporary change?"

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips with a faint smile.

“I want the Glazed Buddha because people in the world long to be blessed by the Blessed Girl. When we have dinner later in the evening, we can keep that person down and have dinner with us.”

“My father found a precious treasure and gave it to me, and I confessed the truth. The broken glass Buddha was unlucky, so I gave him another reward.”

Shen Ningning nodded: "Brother, this is a great idea."

 They both agreed, and the emperor had no objection.

So he waved his hand and said, "Here, take Miss Qi back home."

 Qi Xiuwei was taken away crying.

 Looking at her weak figure, walking farther and farther in the moonlight.

Shen Ningning couldn't help but feel worried. How would a mean person like Mrs. Qi punish her after knowing that she might have made a mistake?

 The moment the little girl looked away, she saw a sneer flashing in the eyes of Concubine Qi behind the emperor.

 Shen Ningning was suddenly frightened.

 What did Concubine Qi do? Didn't Qi Xiuwei say that she had forgiven the Qi family?

 The little girl gritted her teeth secretly.

She knew that with Concubine Qi's vengeful character, it would be impossible for her to let off those who had sinned against her so easily.

 After a while, the guards led the lantern winner into the palace.

When everyone saw each other, they couldn't help but be startled.

"Auntie Princess!" Shen Ningning reacted first, with a joyful smile on her fair face: "It was you who put up the lanterns?"

The princess has a gentle smile. The two maids behind her are holding lotus moon lanterns in their hands. They are very cleverly made.

There is a layer of dim yellow cage cloth on the inside, painted with blooming lotus flowers, and a movable log frame on the outside, coated with a layer of silver powder.

If you reach out and flick it gently, you can see the lotus blooming.

  Simply top quality.

 No wonder it was voted number one by the government.

 And this competition is extremely fair. Before everyone wins the prize, no one knows that this is the work of Princess Shu.

Princess Shu smiled warmly at Shen Ningning: "It's mine."

Mo Lingwei laughed: "I remembered that my aunt's lantern-tying skills have always been skillful. It was at a lantern festival that she met my uncle."

The emperor laughed loudly: "I also remember that time my eldest brother almost got into a fight over your lamp king, Mrs. Wang."

　　When mentioning that year, Princess Shu's eyes sparkled with tenderness and her cheeks turned pink.

Shen Ningning noticed, however, that Concubine Qi's complexion became even worse. Her hands under her sleeves were clenched tightly to restrain her emotions.

It seems that the King of Shu already knew Concubine Qi before he met Princess Shu?

Since he was one of his own, the emperor told Princess Shu why the glass Buddha was broken.

Princess Shu heard this and said very kindly: "If the eagle destroyed it, then Miss Qi is not to blame. My participation in the competition this time is just for fun. The emperor must not blame her."

 After saying that, Princess Shu held Shen Ningning in her arms lovingly.

“As long as you have a few meals with us Ning Ning, this reward will be enough.”

 Everyone laughed and went to the dining hall.

Concubine Qi handed over her hand and said, "I have just drank wine, and I am already too drunk. Your Majesty, please allow me to go back and rest."

The emperor didn't think much about it. There were many people accompanying him tonight, so it didn't matter whether Concubine Qi was there or not.

He waved his hand: "Go back and rest."

Concubine Qi thanked her, then turned to Pingting and left.

Looking at her back, Shen Ningning calmly looked back.

Her smile was cute, and Li Guo asked Princess Shu briefly.

“Princess and aunt, why didn’t you see the prince and uncle enter the palace with you?”

Princess Shu raised her head and glanced at Mo Lingwei beside her.

She whispered to Shen Ningning: "He went to see a famous doctor in the world. I heard that he had a secret recipe for wooing a child, but the man had a weird temper and had a hard time waiting for him to march to the capital, so the prince hurriedly went to visit , so I can’t come.”

 Speaking of this, there was inevitably a hint of shyness on her face.

"The prince is considerate to me. He knows that I have always wanted to have a child of my own. No matter what others say, he has always indulged me. Ning Ning, you are really a lucky little guy. If I hug you more, maybe To have a child as cute as you."

 Shen Ningning sighed in her heart when she heard this, but she had no choice but to do anything.

She quietly called Mo Lingwei, spoke to Princess Shu, and the two of them walked in the opposite direction.

Mo Lingwei asked: "Are you going to check for traces in the sun tower now?"

"Concubine Qi suddenly left. I suspect that she might want to deal with the aftermath. I'm afraid that we will conduct a thorough investigation tomorrow after we have finished eating. The clues left by the bad guy will be gone." After Shen Ningning said that, she and Mo Lingwei quickened their pace. , rushed back to Zhaori Tower. (End of chapter)
