Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 8 Embroidery Workshop Incident

"Sister, Yingluo is here!" From a distance, Yingluo saw her sister tending flowers and grass near the bedroom.

"Don't run so fast, be careful not to sprain your ankle." Wei Yingning took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Yingluo's forehead.

"Sister, Yingluo hasn't seen you for a few days. Today, Aunt Zhang gave me the task of embroidering the phoenix robe for the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival."

Yingluo asked tentatively, hoping that perhaps her sister would share her difficulties with her.

Wei Yingning was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

He sighed and said, "Yingluo, although this job looks glamorous, you still have to be careful. You are a person who takes revenge when you have a grudge, and you take grudges when you have a grudge. It's easy to offend people without knowing it."

"Don't worry, sister. Yingluo will be careful. I have grown up and can protect myself and you!" Wei Yingluo said with a confident smile.

"You, it's good to be confident, but you have to act cautiously. I chose to enter the palace because I was worried. We no longer have sisters, and you must enter the palace, but you are so impatient. Who would have thought that you would insist on entering the palace? I am really worried about you." Wei Yingning still looked worried.

"Sister, don't worry, Yingluo has really grown up. Just wait and see how I'll be rewarded for the embroidered phoenix robe this time!" Wei Yingluo said coquettishly.

"Of course I believe in your embroidery skills. Although you are young, I can see that your embroidery is outstanding. Just be careful not to be framed. I will also pay more attention to it for you." Wei Yingning couldn't help but smile and patted her sister's head with a hint of comfort.

"Yingluo knows that sister is the best, but sister, you are Yingluo's support, and likewise, Yingluo will be your support. Sister, you should trust me more. When encountering problems, we sisters can discuss them together. Don't hide everything from me."

"Okay, Yingluo, you've grown up. I'll definitely look for you if I have something to ask you in the future. It's getting late, so go back."

Wei Yingning realized that Yingluo might have heard about the time she embroidered the phoenix robe. It seemed that her sister had really grown up.

"Sister, Yingluo will go back first. Don't forget to discuss it together." Wei Yingluo did not forget to repeat it again.

"Okay, okay, don't worry." Wei Yingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could only push Yingluo and told her to go quickly so as not to miss the time.

-----------------------------

"Yingluo, you're finally back! I've been staring at you for so long, my eyes are sore."

Qingyun saw Yingluo from afar and couldn't wait to run out of the embroidery workshop and go forward to greet Wei Yingluo, wanting to take credit and get praise immediately.

"Well, I'm back. Is the peacock feather thread okay?" Wei Yingluo was very curious and wanted to see how this matter would be different.

"Of course! It's right there. If you don't believe me, come and see." Qingyun said confidently.

Qingyun took Wei Yingluo into the bedroom, but found that there was no trace of peacock feather thread on the bed.

Qingyun opened his mouth in disbelief and rubbed his eyes hard, only to find that the blur was not there and it was indeed gone.

"How is this possible!!! Impossible, the peacock feather thread was clearly still here before I ran out just now, how could this happen!" Qingyun began to get anxious and felt very regretful.

Wei Yingluo found that the situation this time was similar to the previous one, and she felt relieved. However, in order to lower the vigilance of the person who framed her, she had to pretend to be panicked.

"Qingyun, didn't I tell you to take good care of the peacock feather thread? How could this happen?" Wei Yingluo pretended to blame.

"No, I was watching it for just a short while. How could it disappear? I saw it just before I left the house." Qingyun also felt very strange. "Could it be that someone can take things from a distance?"

Wei Yingluo knocked on Qingyun's head. "This is impossible. Don't even think about it. I saw you coming over just now, and I seemed to see a dark shadow flash by out of the corner of my eye. Who else hasn't returned to the dormitory at this time?"

"Hmm...it seemed to be Xueliu, because Nanny Zhang looked for her just now. She seemed to say that she was absent-minded today and there was a problem with the embroidery work she was responsible for." Qingyun tried hard to recall.

"Is that so? Then I think I know what's going on. Qingyun, you should go back and have a rest first."

"Yingluo, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect there was someone else in the embroidery workshop. I rushed over when I heard your voice. I should have held the peacock feather thread." Qingyun said guiltily.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, there's nothing we can do. Let's try to find the thief as soon as possible," Wei Yingluo said comfortingly.

"Then I'll go ask Xueliu now! Get the peacock feather thread back." Qingyun said angrily.

"Don't alert the enemy for now. If it's really her, she won't tell you even if you ask her. Why don't we do this..." Wei Yingluo quietly told Qingyun her plan.

"Yingluo! You are smart. I will go now and I will take care of this matter." Qingyun walked towards the dormitory confidently.

Wei Yingluo packed up the phoenix robe and silk threads, and went to the small storeroom of the embroidery workshop to look for the deer tail wool thread. After a while, thinking that it was almost time, she returned to the bedroom.

On the other side, Qingyun was trying hard to make up for his mistakes.

"Molan, it was you who did it! Don't try to quibble. I just saw you taking away the peacock feather thread." Qingyun said loudly.

"It's not me, I didn't go to the embroidery workshop at all!" Molan immediately denied it, but the strange thing was that she looked a little guilty.

The embroiderers who were watching muttered, "We certainly didn't see Molan in the room just now."

Qingyun looked at the guilty Molan and became more and more angry. "Then you said it wasn't you, is there anyone who can prove your innocence?"

But Molan hesitated and couldn't speak.

"I can prove that when Nanny Zhang came to see me just now, it was Molan who accompanied me." Xueliu also walked into the bedroom. She didn't look guilty at all, as if the matter had nothing to do with her at all.

Wei Yingluo looked at the group of people coldly. She already knew who stole the peacock feather thread, but she had no evidence and was not sure where they hid the peacock feather thread. If it was destroyed, it would be a bad ending.

"Okay, stop arguing. No matter who it is, the phoenix robe is a gift from us embroiderers for the Qianqiu Festival. If anything goes wrong, no one can escape." Wei Yingluo said firmly.

As soon as Yingluo finished speaking, it was clear that Molan was very flustered.

At this time, Xueliu held Molan's hand comfortingly and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, she has no evidence." Molan was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Yingluo saw all their little actions and had already thought of a solution.

After all, if it’s one person who commits the crime, it would be difficult to catch them if they refuse to admit it and hide the items. But if it’s two people, there’s a possibility that they will shirk responsibility with each other.

As long as one person can't stand the pressure and admits it, then both of them will be unable to escape.
