Ruoqiu informed the Empress Dowager of Hejing's movements.

"According to the maids from Linglong Palace, Consort Lin secretly kept a jewel worth one million taels of silver for Princess Hejing!"

"Consort Lin has never told Hejing where the jewelry is, and Hejing has always wanted to find it."

The Empress Dowager frowned.

"No wonder she has always refused to move in with me. So that's why. I know that women in the harem will have a hard time without money."

"However, the Emperor and I have given Hejing quite a lot, enough for her to live a peaceful life in the palace."

"But when she values ​​money more than I do, I can't help but feel sad. I'm getting old and crave family affection the most. With He Jing acting like this, I feel a little disheartened."

[Grandmother, don't be sad! Qianqian is here with you! Grandmother, give me a hug!]

The Empress Dowager's mood improved somewhat after hearing this.

"Ruoqiu, continue to have people keep an eye on Hejing. Also, have people help find the things Lin Zhaoyi left behind, and give them to Hejing after you find them, so that she can finally rest easy and stop thinking about this matter!"

"yes."

[Sigh! I can't find it!]

The Empress Dowager was taken aback.

There was no jewelry at all. Consort Lin deliberately lied to He Jing so that He Jing would always stand by her side.

If He Jing were to ask for it before her marriage, Consort Lin would claim that a dishonest servant had stolen it, and then all the servants in Linglong Palace would have to take the blame.

Even if Hejing kills all the servants, the matter of the jewels will remain unresolved.

The Empress Dowager was stunned.

So it is said that...

Lin Zhaoyi treated her own daughter as a pawn to be used!

With such a sophisticated mind, what kind of daughter can she raise?

The Empress Dowager was considering whether or not to tell Hejing the truth.

But she had no proof.

He Jing probably thought that the Empress Dowager said these words on purpose to make her miss out on the jewelry.

"Fine, I'll fill this hole myself!"

"Ruoqiu, go and prepare 100,000 taels of jewelry and put it under Consort Lin's bed. Let Hejing find it herself."

"But Your Majesty, if Hejing finds these 100,000 taels of jewelry, she will surely still be eyeing the remaining 900,000 taels. Does Your Majesty intend to fill such a huge hole?"

The Empress Dowager sighed.

"I don't have that many jewels myself. It's all that Consort Lin's fault for talking nonsense. The key point is that Hejing actually believed it!"

“One million taels of jewelry? Even the entire Great Yuan Palace doesn’t have that much combined. Doesn’t Hejing ever consider how much truth there is in that statement?”

"She's only good at using her cunning to squeeze things out of me."

"But I think she hasn't done anything too serious, and besides, she's lost her mother, so I can't bear to leave her alone."

"Let's do as I say for now."

"yes."

Ye Qianqian was also speaking out for the Empress Dowager.

What terrible karma did I create to end up with such a troublesome, spoiled brat with princess syndrome?

However.

After Hejing found the 100,000 taels of jewelry given to her by the Empress Dowager under the bed.

I did something very stupid.

He Jing noticed that the Empress Dowager was growing increasingly fond of the little princess.

She became increasingly worried that once Ye Qianqian was born, she, as the eldest princess, would have no status whatsoever!

So, what if the little princess were gone?

The position of the eldest princess is unshakeable by anyone!

then.

Hejing was on her way back to the palace with Consort Jin.

He gave one of the jewels, a bracelet, to Consort Jin.

"Your Highness Consort Jin, these are the jewels my mother left me!"

“I specially selected a bracelet to give to Consort Jin.”

Consort Jin originally did not want to accept her gift.

At the same time, I also felt that something was strange about the situation.

He Jing is someone who values ​​her things highly and doesn't easily give them away.

Moreover, the deaths of Consort Jin and Consort Lin were also related.

How could Hejing be so generous as to give Jinpin a gift?

Consort Jin was cautious.

I didn't put it on immediately.

Rather, it means...

“Hejing is very kind, but this bracelet looks very valuable. Besides, it was left to you by your sister, so you should take good care of it.”

He Jing could tell that Consort Jin did not want to accept it.

However, Consort Jin refused.

So, the musk that He Jing had hidden inside the bracelet.

It wouldn't reach Consort Jin then.

How did this cause Consort Jin to miscarry?

He Jing immediately spoke.

"Your Highness Consort Jin's words suggest that you're extending your hatred to me because my mother framed you in the past?"

As soon as He Jing finished speaking, she immediately turned into a whiny whiner and started crying.

"Your Highness Consort Jin, I knew absolutely nothing about how my mother framed you!"

"If I had known earlier that my mother intended to harm Consort Jin, I would have stopped her from the very beginning!"

"I would rather put righteousness above family ties than let my mother do such a foolish thing!"

Oh my goodness! I almost believed that!

Hejing, you and your mother have conspired to harm my mother quite a bit!

You know about how Consort Lin framed my mother for having an affair with Sun Hai!

Not only did you not stop her, you even gave Lin Zhaoyi advice!

Once things are exposed, you'll immediately try to absolve yourself of all responsibility!

Now she's playing innocent in front of my mother again! What a pure, innocent lotus flower!

Even the lotus flowers in this lotus pond would call out to you—"Your Majesty!"
