Chapter 77: Asking for a Bedtime
Emperor Lin has already stood up and walked out.
Liu Dexia stretched out his hand towards the low table on the Arhat bed, wanting to take the corner of the spirit sign.
Zhou Chang was quick this time and grabbed the oracle in his hand, saying with a smile: "Oh, Your Majesty, this thing..."
Emperor Lin turned around.
"This thing should be completely turned into smoke so that it can reach the ears of God. Why don't I burn it?" Zhou Chang had never laughed so hard before.
The Emperor did not comment.
Zhou Chang used the candle on the low table and burned it all in front of Emperor Lin.
Of course, forged evidence cannot be kept.
A wisp of gray smoke dissipated in the air, and Zhou Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be better to say that it was telling bedtime stories rather than serving the emperor in bed.
Even though Zhou Chang's throat was burning, he had to keep telling the emperor interesting stories.
By the time I was done editing, even my brain was going on strike.
Finally, I saw the old man Lin Di close his eyes and his breathing gradually became even.
Zhou Chang also fell headfirst on the pillow and took a few breaths.
Speaking for a few hours in front of the emperor is more tiring than running a marathon.
Before she knew it, she opened her eyes again and was awakened by a sore throat.
Zhou Chang quietly got up from the dragon bed and poured himself a glass of water first.
After drinking a glass of warm water, my mind became a little clearer.
Apart from the Emperor's snoring, there was no sound of anyone moving around in the three rooms of the palace.
There was only a dim lantern outside, emitting a dim light.
She must have been too tired and fell asleep just now, and she didn't know what time it was when she woke up.
It was still pitch black outside the window, probably still late at night.
Zhou Chang turned around, put on his shoes, and quietly walked out on the soft carpet.
By the outer door, two eunuchs on night guard were sitting on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, taking a nap.
Zhou Chang tiptoed around and walked towards a compartment on the left.
When she came into the Qianming Palace at night, she always kept an eye on where Liu Dexia took the red jade gold crown. After that, the emperor changed out of his daytime clothes and was sent to the compartment next door by the eunuchs.
The compartment is where the emperor's clothes, shoes and hats are placed on a daily basis.
There was no light in the room. Zhou Chang felt his way along the wall to the window and gently pushed open a window.
The moonlight shone in, and when I looked down, I saw the ruby and gold crown placed on the hat rack on the table under the window.
Zhou Chang’s eyes, hands and heart are attentive, and he succeeds in “selling goods” in one second.
"Ding, congratulations, the transaction was successful, and I received a commission of one million taels."
The viewpoint system displays information simultaneously.
【Level: Middle 93】
【Commission: Two】
【Order: 144】
There were so many digits. Zhou Chang had never been so wealthy in his two lifetimes and he couldn’t even count them.
My heart was pounding in my chest with excitement.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew in from the window, and my body instinctively shuddered due to the cold.
Zhou Chang raised his hand to close the window, but his heart froze.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but the emperor's golden crown was lost on the night when Concubine Rui was serving him in the imperial court. Although there is no evidence, what will happen to her?
Thinking of this, Zhou Chang pushed open the window instead, and then quickly returned to the inner hall quietly.
He lay back down beside Emperor Lin, who was snoring non-stop, still sleeping soundly with his face up. But Zhou Chang changed his mind.
Originally, according to her plan, as long as she succeeded tonight, she would immediately switch to Prince Yi, but now she was worried about Shen Rui.
The two times the emperor's crown disappeared out of thin air were both related to Concubine Rui. Although no evidence will be found, there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will not take advantage of the situation.
She has made use of this identity a lot, so we can't let anything happen to her. We have to make sure that this matter does not implicate her.
Zhou Chang lay there with his eyes closed until he felt that it was already dawn outside, and then he felt a little sleepy again.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, I felt Lin Di in the bed beside me open his eyes and slowly sit up.
Zhou Chang opened his eyes with a start, and sat up as well, smiling awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I was sleeping soundly."
"It's okay. You young people always sleep soundly. I am old and I don't sleep much." The Emperor Lin was usually quite tolerant. "What time is it now?"
The latter sentence is asked outwardly.
The eunuch who was dozing outside heard the sound, got up from the ground, and hurriedly confirmed the time and reported: "Your Majesty, it is three quarters past three in the morning."
"Get up." The Emperor thought for a moment and was about to get out of bed. He said to Zhou Chang, "You don't have to get up and serve me. I have to go to court. You can sleep a little longer and then go back to Bailing Pavilion by yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Chang thanked him, but did not dare to be negligent and stood up.
The eunuchs from the outer room came in to serve, and soon another eunuch from outside the hall brought in hot water for washing, ginseng soup, tea, etc.
Zhou Chang put on his coat himself, and then helped to wash and groom Emperor Lin.
"A-choo." Suddenly a gust of wind blew in and Emperor Lin sneezed.
"Where did the wind come from?" Zhou Chang asked, wondering when someone would notice that the emperor's crown was missing.
The eunuchs searched everywhere, and from a distance they heard one of them say, "Why is the window open?"
Then there was no more news.
After a while, Emperor Lin finished washing up.
Breakfast was delivered, but it was Liu Dexia who came in personally.
Zhou Chang accompanied Emperor Lin out of the inner room and had breakfast in the main hall outside.
Zhou Chang had no appetite, so he ate two bites and felt that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.
Liu Dexia was originally serving beside Emperor Lin, but in the blink of an eye, no one knew where he was.
After Emperor Lin finished his breakfast, he prepared to change into his dragon robe and go to court.
Liu Dexia finally came out of the compartment in a panic, knelt on the ground and reported loudly: "It's bad, Your Majesty, the imperial cloakroom must have been robbed last night, and your West Sea Ruby Gold Crown is missing."
"What?" Emperor Lin stood up suddenly.
Liu Dexia seemed confused, but he had obviously investigated the scene. "Your Majesty, I just received a report that someone had inexplicably opened the window of the imperial cloakroom, and then found that the golden crown that was originally placed under the window was missing. I was worried that they had misjudged it, so I came in to check it out myself. What was missing was the golden crown inlaid with the West Sea ruby that Your Majesty wore yesterday."
"Are you saying that the palace was robbed?" Emperor Lin was a little unbelievable.
Liu Dexia had obviously made his own judgment: "The window of the imperial cloakroom is open, and there is no one walking around in the palace except these people. So it can only be that we have been attacked by outsiders, Your Majesty."
"Someone come here," the Emperor Lin shouted, "Who was the imperial guard on duty last night? Tell me quickly."
"Your Majesty, if there was a robbery, how come the imperial guards didn't notice it all night?" Zhou Chang said as he stood beside the emperor. "Shouldn't we confirm what was lost before making a conclusion?"
"Hmm?" Emperor Lin responded and asked, "Is this the only crown that was lost? Are there any others?"
Liu Dexia thought for a while before answering carefully: "From what I saw just now, only this one item is missing. The other things are still intact."
Emperor Lin said nothing, but his face was filled with gloom. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly he shouted again: "Come here, quickly, quickly go find Fang She, and ask him to go to the treasure pavilion and take inventory to see if there is anything missing."
"Uh..." Zhou Chang didn't expect the miser's imagination to be like this. She originally wanted to guide things in another direction. "Love can arrive later, but takeout can't.
Marriage can never happen.
