the others did not speak.

although shi xi was a princess consort, her sudden appearance as a princess consort was too sudden. not many people in the palace truly respected her.

now that they had heard about the theft of the necklace, the way they looked at shi xi was even more strange.

for a moment, the study was silent as everyone looked at shi xi.

“if i remember correctly,” hua ruoling forced, “princess consort, you came from a poor background. 1 don’t think you’ve ever seen such a luxurious palace, right?”

“perhaps she had just become a phoenix, so when she saw the precious jewelry, she had crooked thoughts.”

shi xi chuckled. “are you trying to search me by force?”

“if you didn’t steal it, wouldn’t it be better for you to let us search openly?” hua ruoling stood up straight and met shi xi’s gaze.

shi xi turned to look at bonita, who was crying silently. “miss kasse, do you also agree with hua ruoling’s suggestion?”

bonita bit her lip, tears falling down her cheeks. she avoided shi xi’s gaze and could not say a word.

“what is the identity of the princess consort? can you search it?” sena scolded coldly.

“or should we go to the queen and let her judge?” hua ruoling was the one who was least afraid of blowing things up, and also the one who wanted to blow things up the most.

“we should report this matter to the queen,” the butler said calmly.

it was already beyond their ability.

shi xi leaned lazily against the back of the chair. “the queen is busy every day. there’s no need to trouble her over such a small matter.”

hua ruoling’s eyes flashed with joy. “you’ve agreed to the search?”

“i didn’t steal anything. naturally, i’m open and aboveboard.” shi xi looked at hua ruoling’s smile and her eyes were filled with ridicule. “however, with your status, it’s still not enough to search me.”

everyone looked at shi xi.

“let the first prince search,” shi xi said.

hua ruoling was stunned for a moment. “the first prince is your fiance, he…” “are you saying that the prince will protect me?” shi xi looked at hua ruoling with a faint smile.

hua ruoling’s heart sank. “1-1 didn’t.”

this was the palace.

the butler quickly found ryan and told him about what had happened here. ryan heard the whole story, and there was a faint anger between his brows. when they arrived at the study, ryan’s expression had already returned to normal. he was even in the mood to tease shi xi. “princess consort, why are you pulling a long face? who made you unhappy?”

“it’s just a small matter.” shi xi smiled lightly. “it’s good that you’re here. quickly search me and see if the necklace is on me.”

hua ruoling did not have the chance to go to her room, so the thing could only be on her.

it was probably somewhere in the wheelchair.

ryan smiled, and his eyes turned cold. “who said that they wanted to search your body?”

shi xi looked at hua ruoling.

hua ruoling avoided ryan’s gaze and lowered her head, not daring to be arrogant.

bonita stood up and protected her friend. “that was a gift i received when i was eighteen. it was my most precious necklace! first prince, princess consort, please understand.”

ryan stared at bonita and said indifferently, “if it’s precious and you can’t bear to donate it, you should take good care of it.”

bonita bit her lower lip tightly and looked at ryan with a sad gaze. “i, i know.” ryan looked at hua ruoling.

“stop searching! i don’t want it anymore. i don’t want that necklace anymore.” “don’t, that necklace has already been donated. it doesn’t belong to you, but to the palace.” shi xi called out to her with a faint smile. “the first prince is here. of course, i have to prove my innocence first.”

as she spoke, shi xi stretched out her hands and said to ryan,” go ahead, my fiance..”
