Chapter 166 Mother's Jade Pendant
Chapter 166 Mother's Jade Pendant
"Sister, you should have guessed that this princess saved you not just for Shuanghua." Ji Jiuying slowly picked up the tea in her hand and took a sip.
After hearing this, the woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she waved her hand, motioning Shuanghua to go out first.
After Shuanghua left, the woman suddenly became a little angry.
"Princess, just ask whatever you want to ask!"
"This princess wants to know why Concubine Liang silenced you!" Ji Jiuying said indifferently.
The woman paused, as if she was thinking back to the past.
"My name is Sen Lan. I am just an ordinary maid in Huaqing Palace who trims flowers and plants. Concubine Liang likes the purple ghost flower very much, but this flower is easy to die and cannot withstand wind and rain. One night, it rained heavily. The sisters in charge of flowers and plants and I built a shed overnight to protect the purple ghost flowers. We watched all night. The sisters were tired all night, so I had to tell them to go back and rest first, and I stayed behind."
"I accidentally fell asleep leaning against the flower roc. When it was almost dawn, I vaguely heard some noises. When I woke up, I found that the painter who used to be with the eldest prince appeared in Concubine Liang's palace. Because it was raining at the time, I vaguely heard Concubine Liang telling the painter to add more paint or something like that."
"I knew very well that those things were not something a little maid like me could listen to, so I planned to leave quietly, but I was discovered anyway. I ran back to my room, quickly changed my clothes, got on the bed and covered myself with a blanket. It was this action of mine that killed all the sisters."
As Mori Lan spoke, his voice began to tremble and his eyes began to blur. In an instant, regret, self-blame, and heartache surged into his heart.
She never thought that Concubine Liang was so cruel!
"In the morning, all the purple flowers that we protected died. Concubine Liang secretly executed all eleven palace maids in the name of us not taking good care of the purple flowers!"
Ji Jiuying listened to her quietly. The painter beside the eldest prince? Paint? Add more? Is it poison?
It seems that there is something strange about the death of the eldest prince!
After thinking for a while, Ji Jiuying wrote a letter and gave it to Yingyue, asking him to give it to the queen.
After coming out of the Princess's Mansion, Ji Jiuying went straight to Yunyu Tower! However, after waiting for a long time, Liang Bingyan did not arrive. Did she fail or was she too busy?
Just when Ji Jiuying was about to leave, a maid came to the door.
"Your servant greets the princess." The maid bowed to Ji Jiuying.
"Are you Liang Bingyan's maid?"
Ji Jiuying looked at the maid. The clothes she was wearing were not what a servant should wear.
"My lord, I am not the maid of Concubine Liang. I am the maid of Concubine Ji. This is what Concubine Liang asked me to give to you, my lord."
The maid took out a wooden box from her arms and handed it to Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying took the box and opened it, revealing a jade pendant that exuded spiritual energy. Liang Bingyan's scheming should not be underestimated.
Ji Jiuying took out some jewelry from the space and gave it to the maid.
"Thank you, Princess." The maid took the jewelry and left. She didn't expect that not only did she get a good job, but the princess was also so generous.
Ji Jiuying looked at the maid's back as she left. This maid was still a little naive, but it was not her business.
"This jade pendant belongs to your mother."
Feng Che appeared in front of Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying looked at the jade pendant in her hand, purified it with her spiritual power, and then put it on.
The third prince was frantically searching every courtyard.
"Find it for me, Your Highness. Make sure to find the jade pendant!" Jun Linyu roared! He was puzzled. How could the jade pendant that he had to wear even when taking a bath suddenly disappear?
He didn't know when he disappeared and blamed himself for drinking too much at his wedding yesterday.
Taifu Liang came to Huaqing Palace angrily.
"Yunhua, why did the box tell me only now!"
"Dad, I thought I could find it, so..." Liang Fei knew the importance of this matter. She had been feeling uneasy ever since the box disappeared.
"How could it suddenly disappear? Didn't I tell you to keep it safe?"
Concubine Liang told Master Liang exactly what had happened. Master Liang frowned and asked, "Does anyone have any doubts?"
"Yes!" Concubine Liang pointed to the sky.
Master Liang's heart sank! If that person discovered the secret, their Liang family would be completely finished!
"Dad, what should we do now?" Concubine Liang asked anxiously.
She tried the emperor several times, even getting him drunk, but to no avail.
"I'll go back and discuss countermeasures with your eldest brother. Nothing else. Please don't contact me too frequently for now."
Taifu Liang said seriously.
Inside Kunning Palace, the Queen looked at the letter from Ji Jiuying, staggered back a few steps, covered her mouth and couldn't stop crying. All these years she had never believed that her Ye'er would die of illness like that.
Concubine Liang! You really have such a cruel heart! It would be fine if you poisoned her, but how old is her Ye'er! How could you do that to her! The queen burst into tears.
At this time, the emperor also came to Kunning Palace after receiving the news.
The moment he saw Yingyue, the emperor knew that it was the shadow guard of the imperial master. However, he didn't understand why the shadow guard of the imperial master would help Ji Jiuying.
After reading the letter, the emperor hugged the queen and said self-reproachfully, "Rou'er, it's all my fault for being useless! I failed to protect you!"
"Rou'er, Ye'er's palace and those paintings were burned down in the fire. Where can we find a painting of Ye'er for Ninth Girl now?"
The emperor asked. Although Jun Linye's bedroom had been rebuilt long ago and looked the same as before, everything inside no longer existed, just like Jun Linye.
The queen brought the emperor to the bedroom and opened a secret chamber. A long rosewood box appeared in front of them, and the queen opened it carefully.
Inside is the only painting that represents Ye'er's existence in the world.
So she kept it very well and opened it slowly. The painting showed the Queen holding Jun Lintian and sitting on a swing, while Jun Linye was also sitting on one side of the painting and painting. She was smiling happily in the painting.
"Mother, hold your brother and don't move!"
Jun Linye's small figure hurried back to the bedroom to get out the paintbrush and paint.
"Okay, mother, don't move!" The queen looked at his serious expression and smiled happily.
Jun Linye has a great talent for painting, and he finished the painting in a short while.
"Mother, look, isn't Ye'er very powerful?"
"Yeah~ Ye'er is the best!"
"Mother, when my brother grows up a little bit, Ye'er will paint a family portrait of the four of us and hang it in your Kunning Palace."
"it is good."
The queen stroked Jun Linye's head and responded with a smile.
The scene at that time was so clearly imprinted in her mind, as if it happened just yesterday.
But! That family photo can no longer be taken.
Ye'er loved painting so much that she and the emperor specially found the most famous painter in Cangyue Kingdom to teach him painting. Unexpectedly, it would ruin his life. Self-blame and heartache spread from the queen's heart, and she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.
