Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 426

He was not sure if what Wei Yuanwei said was true or false, but Wei Yuanwei's expression did not leave him no choice but to believe it.

"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, Eunuch Li from the Queen's Palace has come. They said that they have something to discuss with Miss Wei!" Little Yun Zi's anxious voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Zhong Lixian's thoughts were interrupted, Eunuch Li? What did she need to do so late to find Wei Yuanwei?

Wei Yuanwei also opened her eyes at this moment.

"Crown Prince, this humble servant has specially ordered the Emperor to bring Miss Wei to the Ten Thousand Flowers House!" Opening the door, Eunuch Li walked in.

"What is it?" Zhong Lixian sat on the bed and looked at Wei Yuanwei beside him.

"About that, this matter this old servant cannot explain in a while, I hope that Crown Prince and Miss Wei can make a trip to the Ten Thousand Flowers House!" The Eunuch Li spoke with justice, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Zhong Lixian's face looked suspicious, thinking back carefully about what happened tonight, he was really confused.

In the Ten Thousand Flowers House, the officials were still watching the dance on stage from their rooms, exchanging greetings with each other.

Inside the room, the prince and the imperial concubine were gathered together.

When Zhong Lixian and Wei Yuanwei entered, they had already sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

"Father, mother, why have you come to the Miss Wei?" Zhong Lixian stood up from the wheelchair, and after bowing slightly to the emperor and empress, she asked.

The empress's gaze directly swept past Zhong Lixian and landed on Wei Yuanwei's body.

"When the Fourth Princess was accompanying the Fifth Princess to change clothes, she noticed that the map of the east slope that should have been on the axis has disappeared …" The empress's voice was solemn and dignified.

Gone? It's just a fake, that's all. If it's gone, then it's gone. What does it mean to recall them?

Zhong Lixian looked at the empress with his long and narrow eyes that were as dark as water. It seemed that the moment the empress had him attend the banquet, he had already fallen into her trap.

"Miss Wei, you're the one who took the map of the east slope, right?" The Fourth Princess glanced over Wei Yuanwei from head to toe, and her mischievous gaze shot out from the bottom of her eyes, causing people to feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Fourth Princess, Miss Wei left with me. When did you enter the inner hall to get the map of the east slope? Moreover, that map of the East Slope is just a fake. If the Miss Wei likes it, I can get people to draw a hundred pictures! " Zhong Lixian raised her cold gaze, and the cold aura that she was giving off made the Fourth Princess unable to speak any further.

"Crown Prince, we do not know whether the map of the East Slope is a fake, only the Miss Wei knows about it. If she purposefully called the deer a horse and turned the real thing into a fake, and took away the map of the East Slope without anyone noticing, what then?" The Fourth Marquis promptly stood up and said.

"Without any proof, you want to throw dirt on Miss Wei?" Zhong Lixian said furiously: "Maybe some servant with dirty hands and feet took it away!"

"I have already ordered someone to thoroughly investigate all the servants here!" the queen said.

"Crown Prince, it would be too hard for us to not be suspicious. The first ones to leave are the crown prince and Miss Wei. Chendi naturally wouldn't suspect the crown prince, but Miss Wei is …" The Fourth Prince continued.

"Miss Wei has always been with me and has never left my sight!" Zhong Lixian responded coldly. His unyielding att.i.tude made the Fourth Marquis not dare to say another word.

"Alright, at first, the emperor and I didn't want to pursue this matter any further, after all, it was a fake, but the Fourth Princess's words were reasonable, and we weren't too clear on whether or not the painting was real or fake." Well, at first, the emperor and I weren't going to pursue this matter any further, after all, it was a fake, but the Fourth Princess wasn't completely wrong, so we weren't too clear on whether or not the painting was real or fake. The empress spoke solemnly to the emperor next to her, "Your majesty, although this matter is a little inappropriate, this is the only way to thoroughly investigate it. If the painting could prove to be a fake, then there would be no need to go through so much trouble …"

The empress seems to be fair, everything is for everyone's sake,

But Zhong Lixian knew that the Empress was framing Wei Yuanwei.

Once it was searched, it was very likely that the painting would be found on Wei Yuanwei's body.

Hearing that, the Emperor nodded, then turned to Wei Yuanwei and spoke: "Miss Wei, can you guarantee that the painting just now was fake?"

Wei Yuanwei looked at Zhong Lixian with complete affirmation.

"Yes, that painting is a fake!" Wei Yuanwei replied with absolute confidence.

When the emperor heard these words, he felt a bit troubled.

However, the Fourth Princess said, "Miss Wei, you already took away that painting. Of course you said that painting was a fake! Do you dare let the emperor and empress search your body? No …. Do you want to search the crown prince's palace? "

"Impudent! Fourth Princess, you want to search even the crown prince's palace?" Zhong Lixian immediately berated, the veins on her forehead bulged. "I actually suspect that you were the one who shouted 'catch the thief', took the painting away, and instead framed this matter on Miss Wei!"

"Crown Prince, this concubine and Miss Wei aren't acquainted with each other, why would I frame her? Furthermore, chenqie has always been in this hall and has never left this table. The fourth princess became anxious when she heard Zhong Lixian's words.

Zhong Lixian coldly snorted, "Who knows, maybe the painting will be gone when you take it back. You had your servant girl casually place the painting inside the hall, but who knows if your servant girl really placed the girl's painting on top of the table in the hall, or secretly took it elsewhere? If you want to search, you should search the Duke Palaces first! "

"You …" The Fourth Princess was rendered speechless by Zhong Lixian.

"Enough, in a few hours, it will be the new year. It's just a painting. I will just have to bestow another painting to the prince's residence!" The Emperor really did not want to continue to be conflicted over this matter.

First, he had to search the crown prince's palace, and then, he had to search the manor.

"Father, this painting of the East Slope was created by Grandmaster Jiang Liang. Many people want his painting. If the painting is real or fake, this subject will not hold onto it tightly. This subject is afraid that the painting is real, but someone said that it is fake …" The Fourth Prince said with all his heart and with all his heart, he looked very wronged.

"Esteemed w.a.n.gfei, since you couldn't trust this commoner, why should this commoner distinguish truth from falsehood?" And why do I believe the story of the common woman? Then why did he place the painting on the table in the inner hall? The crown prince's words are not unreasonable. Who knows, when the servant girl accepted the painting, did she really place it on the table in the inner hall? " Wei Yuanwei's face was calm as he said these words, his eyes cold.
