Chapter 978: The King Wants Him to Steal, He Has to Steal
"Xiaotang, this is...?"
When Queen Ning heard that Lin Yutang could give it a try, she felt like she had found her backbone.
But when she saw what Lin Yutang took out of the bag, she was stunned again.
It was a roughly semicircular object the size of a palm, and it was hard to tell what it was used for.
"This is what I brought here to play games with you. It's called a Lie Detector.
The principle is that when we put our hands on this machine and answer the truth or lies again, the inner fluctuations, that is, the heartbeat frequency, will be captured, and then the machine will give corresponding punishment.
Of course, the punishment won’t be too harsh. Milder ones might be lighting up a light or electrifying.
Lin Yutang explained in detail how to use the lie detector.
Hearing this, Queen Ning and the others nodded, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Lin Yutang with admiration.
This really is Fairy Xiaotang coming to give you another magical weapon!
Queen Ning, in particular, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the lie detector could detect changes in heartbeat and that the electric current released would not be too large.
"That's good, that's good. I was a little worried that I might have electrocuted him and wouldn't be able to find out who was behind it."
The gloom on Empress Ning's face had disappeared, and she even began to fantasize that after she solved this matter, she would use this lie detector to test Emperor Huaiwen to see if he had secretly hidden any snacks!
"Ah, ah, ah!"
In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Emperor Huaiwen sneezed twice, which made Empress Dowager Rong feel extremely disgusted.
"Oh, did you catch a cold?
Do you know that you need to wear a mask in your situation?"
Empress Dowager Rong didn't want to be infected. Every time she caught a cold, she couldn't taste the food or smell the fragrance. This was cruel enough. Her throat would also hurt as if she had swallowed a razor blade, and her nose would be sealed with cement, which would make her feel like she was suffocating at any moment!
"No, no, I guess someone is talking about me!
Mother, you must give me more than the Queen! You must not be partial to one and treat the other poorly!
Look, is there a piece of jelly missing from my side?"
Emperor Huaiwen took advantage of Empress Dowager Rong's inattention and secretly took a piece of jelly from the pile of snacks on the table, and handed it to the eunuch next to him.
Eunuch Wang felt that the jelly in his sleeve was really hot. What could he do?
If you tell him to steal, he has to steal!
"Hey? Why do I remember taking five jellies from each of your two piles?
That's weird, did I count wrong?
It shouldn’t be like this…
You didn’t take it?”
At the end of her speech, Empress Dowager Rong looked tentatively at Emperor Huaiwen.
"Mother, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Emperor Huaiwen looked aggrieved, as if saying, "If you doubt me again, I will cry and whimper in front of you."
"Okay, okay, if you didn't take it, then you didn't take it!
I just asked casually, so I'll make it up to you."
Empress Dowager Rong took out another jelly from the suitcase and put one on top of Emperor Huaiwen's snack.
Emperor Huaiwen was very happy. He was also very smart. He didn't dare to "steal" every kind of snack. He would only take the snacks that were bought in bulk if they were large quantities. He wouldn't dare to take the ones that were in bags.
He also took the one from Queen Ning once, and then raised his hand and reported righteously:
"Mother! There's a chicken paw missing from her pile!"
This fair and just look made Empress Dowager Rong feel at ease. As expected, she felt relieved to hand over the country to him!
The eunuch Wang behind him said: His Majesty is indeed His Majesty, he never blushes when telling lies!
With such decent behavior, who could believe he was lying?
