Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Last night, Zhou Chang could have "brought" a few more pieces of goods in the imperial clothing room. Maybe even without a few pieces, he could have paid off the loan for the viewpoint system directly.

But if you think about it carefully, if this is the case, the blame must be put on the thief who does not exist at all.

Then, in order to complete their tasks, it is impossible for the subordinates to fail to catch the "non-existent thief", and wouldn't that cause innocent people to be wrongly accused?

But this morning, things have evolved to this point.

Not long after, the imperial guards arrived and Zhou Chang hid in the inner room again.

Emperor Lin ordered a massive search of the palace. On the one hand, it was to catch thieves, both internal and external, and on the other hand, it was to search and loot. Anyone found to have anything that shouldn't be kept in their hands at this time might be implicated.

After all the trouble, it was already the beginning of the morning hour and it was already too late to attend the morning court.

Emperor Lin went back into the inner room to change into his dragon robes. When he saw Zhou Chang, he said, "Why are you still here? Go back to Bailing Pavilion."

Zhou Chang frowned, looking worried: "Your Majesty, I can't just leave like this. Since you are searching the palace, I was here last night and was closest to the golden crown. You should search me first."

The Emperor never doubted it: "You have been with me all night, and you are so frail, where can you hide after stealing the golden crown?"

Zhou Chang did not want to hear words of comfort from the Emperor Lin, and her brows were still furrowed: "Even so, I can't just go back like this. I'd better wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated. The news must have spread throughout the palace by now. If I go back like this, there will definitely be people gossiping."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Emperor Lin asked casually.

Zhou Chang said quickly, "Last time, when the Nine-Tassel Crown incident happened, because I happened to be present, someone said behind my back that the Nine-Tassel Crown could not be found because I was sick and unlucky, so I couldn't get it out."

"What's going on?" Emperor Lin was a little impatient, and was more worried about the treasure pavilion.

Fang She has not been found yet, but the imperial guards reported back insisting that there was no sign of outsiders entering the palace.

Zhou Chang had just thought of an excuse: "Yes, my illness has been cured. Even if it hadn't been cured, it wouldn't have been so severe that it could affect the supreme nine-tassel crown. But after what happened just now, I did think of one thing."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Lin had already changed into his dragon robe for court and was ready to leave.

Zhou Chang went up and personally held up a purple gold crown with both hands to put on the emperor: "It was previously rumored that the Buddha of Dafu Temple appeared and took away many golden statues worshipped by believers overnight. The wishes made by the people whose golden statues were taken away were all fulfilled. So, did your Majesty make any wishes to the heavens on the day of the Qing Festival?"

"What you mean is..." Emperor Lin suddenly widened his eyes.

Zhou Chang put on the crown, took the golden hairpin from the eunuch, and inserted it into the emperor's hair to fix it: "What I mean is that your majesty's crown is so noble, it is much more valuable than the golden statue offered by the people. If your majesty has made a wish, and the heaven has agreed and accepted your majesty's crown as a sign, then your majesty's wish will definitely come true."

"Are you so sure? What evidence do you have?" Emperor Lin really made a wish. Over the past two years, what he has been most concerned about is the war between Dalin and the Mirage Kingdom.

"I don't have any evidence. I just thought of it. If Your Majesty can't find the golden crown anywhere in the palace, then it must be my guess." Zhou Chang looked superstitious.

The Emperor Lin also couldn't help but get excited: "If that's the case, it makes sense. It seems that only my crown has been lost so far, which is really strange."

"That's right," Zhou Chang quickly reeled in the fish, hooked. "Let's not talk about the golden crown last night. So many people were watching the Nine-Tassel Crown that day, how could it disappear right before our eyes? The wind was strong at the time, but the beads on the Nine-Tassel Crown are all precious and very heavy, how could it be blown away by the wind? Even if it fell into the pond, the water should not be able to carry it away. We have been fishing for several days and still can't find anything."

The more Emperor Lin thought about it, the more he believed that this was the case.

Zhou Chang fixed the hair of the Emperor Lin and smiled with satisfaction at the Emperor Lin in the bronze mirror: "Your Majesty, you must search the whole palace carefully. If you find nothing in the end, then I will congratulate your Majesty. Your Majesty's wish will be fulfilled soon."

The gloomy face of the Emperor Lin suddenly relaxed. He stood up, turned around, put his hands on Zhou Chang's shoulders, and said seriously: "My beloved concubine, you have a heart as sharp as seven holes, and your mouth is full of witty words. I would like to borrow your words to express my good wishes. If this is true, it will be a blessing for my country and the people."

"Your Majesty." Zhou Chang's eyes showed surprise, and Shen Rui's consciousness also became excited. This was the first time that Emperor Lin called her "Beloved Concubine."

Emperor Lin tightened his grip on Zhou Chang's shoulder and said, "I will send someone to escort you back to the palace first, and we will know the result later."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I bid you farewell." Zhou Changfu bowed.

Afterwards, the emperor went to court and Zhou Chang returned to Bailing Pavilion.

The harem was in turmoil the entire day, and until sunset, naturally nothing was found.

Zhou Chang's remarks also spread with the palace search. The imperial guards were even more reluctant to admit that there were traces of foreign invaders, as that would mean they had failed in their duty.

The palace was searched thoroughly, and many things that shouldn't be there were indeed found, but there was no trace of the nine-feathered crown or the red emerald gold crown.

These people tended to link the disappearance of the two crowns with the disappearance of the golden statue in Dafu Temple. Some of Shen Rui's good friends came to Bailing Pavilion to inquire about it.

At night, Emperor Lin came to Bailing Pavilion in person.

Zhou Chang stepped back, letting Shen Rui regain consciousness and then entertained him warmly.

Emperor Lin was in a much more relaxed mood because he had not lost any other valuables except the two crowns. After hearing Zhou Chang's words, he hoped that it was a good omen, so he drank a few more glasses of wine and stayed overnight in Bailing Pavilion.

"My beloved, during the ceremony, I prayed to the heavens, hoping that God would bless us so that we could win a great victory in the war between Dalin and Ni Kingdom and recover the three states of Yuebei that we had lost for a long time." Emperor Lin was helped to the bed by Zhou Chang.

"It will definitely happen." Zhou Chang remained conscious, allowing Shen Rui's consciousness to control his body, and helped Emperor Lin change his clothes, take off his shoes, and lie down on the bed.

Emperor Lin's eyes were full of hope, and he made a promise to Shen Rui: "After the morning court today, your father Shen Fang and Liu Mu from the Tianjian Division came to discuss, and they also said that it is indeed possible. There are similar records in ancient books. Your father and you are both my lucky stars. If this wish is fulfilled, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

What else could the emperor reward him?

Zhou Chang smiled.

Shen Rui is a noble now. Although he is still young, it is unrealistic to expect an old man who is almost seventy years old to be able to give birth to a child. So the only way is to be promoted two levels while the emperor is still alive. If he can get the position of a concubine, he can be placed in a similar place even after the emperor passes away.

After some arrangements, Zhou Chang also lay down beside the emperor, made a wish, and fell into a deep sleep. "Morning: typing! Noon: typing! Evening: typing!"
