Besides, what did the consorts have against the empress dowager? Just because they couldn’t be the empress Dowager? This reason was a little ridiculous.
“Then who else?” Ning Yue asked again.
Jiang Ying shook his head. He was also very vexed and really had no idea.
“Jiang Ying, were there any clues about the jade pendant that Imperial Grandmother brought over that day?” Ning Yue suddenly asked.
She had almost forgotten about the two jade pendants. The empress dowager seemed to be doing a repetitive job. She suddenly gave them pendants again, although she gave larger ones than the previous time. It looked like it was for adults.
At the time, she had only thought it was strange, but she had not thought about it carefully. Now that so much had happened, she could see the clues in retrospect.
…..
“Are the jade pendants still there?” Jiang Ying asked.
“Yes. I’ll get them now.” Ning Yue went to her room to search for a while and found the jade pendants in the bedside table.
She quickly brought the jade pendants to Jiang Ying. “Take a look.”
Jiang Ying opened the box and examined the jade pendants. After a while, he combined the two jade pendants.
“The imperial family’s jade pendants are all like this. If the children are twins, they will be given to two children respectively. If there’s only one child, they’ll be given together,” Jiang Ying said.
“This looks like Imperial Grandmother’s own jade pendant. It’s not like what Imperial Grandmother said at all,” Jiang Ying said.
As Ning Yue looked at the jade pendants, she asked, “Is there anything strange about it?”
“Yes. Look, although the jade pendants are combined, the connectors don’t match very well.” Jiang Ying pointed at the uneven spots on the jade pendant.
“You should have seen my jade pendant before. When combined, it’s like a whole jade pendant. It’s impossible to tell that it’s two jades, but look at this,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue took a look and realized the problem. She had seen Jiang Ying’s jade pendant before.
“It’s indeed different,” Ning Yue said.
“Are we going to look for the jade pendant?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying nodded. “We have to find out what happened to Imperial Grandmother.”
However, almost everything in the Empress Dowager’s bedroom had been taken to her grave. She wouldn’t keep the two jade pendants, right?
Ning Yue told Jiang Ying her thoughts, but he said, “Some funerary items are often used. For example, jade pendants are specially used for funerary purposes. This pendant is worn by the royal family. They usually won’t be buried.”
“Usually?” Ning Yue was puzzled. “Then there’s something unusual.”
“In the history of the Great Yun Nation, only one empress could obtain such a jade pendant to accompany her after she passed away. Legend has it that that empress died to save the emperor at that time, so she obtained the jade pendant to be buried with her,” Jiang Ying said.
“In other words, only those who have made great contributions will be buried with the jade pendant. Therefore, Imperial Grandmother’s jade pendant should still be in her bedroom.”
Jiang Ying nodded. “1’11 find an opportunity to enter the palace to take a look.”
“Jiang Ying, how many people know about Imperial Grandmother?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and said, “At the moment, it should be Grandpa, my brother, you and me.”
Ning Yue frowned deeply. She knew Old Master Ning would not tell anyone about this.
In order to protect her, Jiang Ying would definitely not tell anyone about this.
Therefore, only the emperor was left.
Actually, Ning Yue was very worried that the emperor would tell others about this. She was not questioning the emperor’s character, but she was worried that the Emperor would tell the empress dowager or empress about this, causing the news to leak.
In this way, many people would know that the Empress Dowager might have been murdered.
Thinking of that scene, Ning Yue felt her scalp tingle.
No matter what, the matter of the Empress Dowager should not be spread.
“Yueyue, don’t worry. This matter will end here. It won’t spread in the future. Brother also knows the importance of this matter. He’ll keep it a secret..”
