Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios“Alright, don’t worry. The two children will definitely be fine with me,” Aunt said to Ning Yue with a smile.
After settling the two children down, Ning Yue went to the palace.
At this moment, Jiang Ying was in the emperor’s imperial study. When the two of them knew that Ning Yue had arrived, they immediately asked the eunuch to invite her over.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Ning Yue bowed to the emperor.
The emperor nodded and said, “Jiang Ying said that you were coming over. We waited for you here.”
This made Ning Yue a little embarrassed. Her grandfather had told her that Jiang Ying had told her to come to the palace late, so she was late.
“I’m really sorry. I was busy with the two children at home and only came out after I was done,” Ning Yue explained.
…..
“It’s fine. It’s good that you’re here. We were just talking about something. Tell us your opinion,” the emperor said with a smile.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Jiang Ying told him what the two of them had just said.
There was nothing special about it. They were just talking about the cause of the Empress Dowager’s death and mentioning the jade pendant.
Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying with a complicated expression. Last night, she had just told Jiang Ying to not say so much. In the end, she had mentioned the jade pendant to the emperor when she came here today. What could she say?
“Brother agreed to let me go to Imperial Grandmother’s bedroom to look for the jade pendant. I found it. It’s here, but I didn’t find anything strange.” With that, Jiang Ying took out the jade pendant.
Ning Yue hurriedly took out the jade pendant from her purse and handed it to Jiang Ying.
After dismantling all the jade pendants, it was equivalent to having four. Jiang Ying observed them for a while and put them together.
Soon, the jade pendant was connected tightly. It was completely different from the jade pendant that the two of them had combined yesterday.
Jiang Ying placed the jade pendant in front of the emperor. The emperor’s expression suddenly turned ugly.
“Do you remember this jade pendant?” the emperor asked.
Originally, Jiang Ying did not have any impression of it. He just felt that it looked familiar. When he heard the emperor’s question, he reacted and tried his best to recall where he had seen this jade pendant before.
“This is Uncle Chu’s jade pendant!” Jiang Ying said.
The emperor nodded. This was a jade pendant obtained by the princes of the Retired Emperor’s generation.
Upon closer inspection, there was the word Chu on the jade pendant, so it belonged to King Chu.
It was the one and only thing in the world that could completely represent King Chu’s identity.
In other words, was the Empress Dowager killed by King Chu? How could he do this?
Jiang Ying gasped and looked at the emperor in disbelief. “Brother, do you think this is true?”
The emperor thought for a moment and replied, “I think it’s possible. After all, we all know what King Chu is thinking.”
Ning Yue fell silent. After thinking for a long time, she said, “For some reason,
I don’t think King Chu did this. It’s very likely that he was also framed.”
“Oh?” The emperor’s frown deepened. “Why do you think so? Is there some evidence?”
“I don’t know what to say. Recently, everything has happened too suddenly. Be it the death of Lian Xin or the human skin mask, one after another, so I think this matter might be related to the Lian Xin,” Ning Yue said.
The two of them fell silent again. The situation Ning Yue was talking about was also possible. They more or less knew Lian Xin. According to his personality, he could do these things.
The three of them were silent for a long time. Then the emperor said, “In that case, it’s back to square one. We have to find Lian Xin.”
Jiang Ying nodded. “Leave this to me. I’ll definitely find him in the shortest time possible.”
After the three of them chatted for a while, Jiang Ying left the palace with Ning Yue. On the way, Ning Yuan couldn’t help but ask Jiang Ying, “Why did you tell the emperor about the jade pendant?”
“I’ve thought about it. No matter what, he’s my brother. He has to know about this. Moreover, if I want to enter Imperial Grandmother’s bedroom, I have to get my brother’s permission.”
The Empress Dowager’s bedroom was guarded by guards. It was difficult to enter, let alone search for something.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Jiang Ying still told him what had happened..
