Chapter 253 Action
The half jade pendant was of good quality, but he was the prince of Jingbei and had seen countless fine things. If it weren't for the fact that the half jade pendant was in his brocade robe and the special circumstances that day, he wouldn't have even taken a second look at it and might have thrown it away.
He thought someone had deliberately stuffed it into his arms when he was not paying attention. Later, when he found that the emperor had a piece of the same texture in his hand, he became more convinced that his suspicion was correct.
That half piece of jade pendant is not simple.
Just now, while holding Shen Wan, he recalled what happened that day. He couldn't think of anything that happened after he fainted, but he suddenly thought of the jade pendant...
He and Shen Wan consummated their marriage that day, so the jade pendant might have been left by Shen Wan, so he asked about it, and he didn't expect it to be true.
Shen Wan said, "It should be very important..."
Xie Jingyu was very upset by this answer.
This woman had fooled him many times about things he didn't want to say, but now she was too lazy to even fool him.
Xie Jingyu looked into Shen Wan's eyes and asked, "Your jade pendant, don't you know whether it is important or not?"
Shen Wan said, "My mother gave me the jade pendant the night before I married you. She said it was my amulet and asked me to keep it safe. That's all my mother said..."
"Tell me quickly, where did you throw my jade pendant?"
Chen Wan was extremely anxious. Yun Shi had never valued these things, except for half a jade pendant, which was handed to her on special days in both lives, which showed that it was extraordinary.
After losing it, Shen Wan wanted to confess to Yun, but she didn't dare. She didn't expect that there was still a possibility of getting it back.
But Xie Jingyu refused to answer, instead asking, "Why is there only half of the jade pendant? Where is the other half?"
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu suspiciously.
Why is this bastard so interested in her half of the jade pendant and asking so many detailed questions?
Xie Jingyu still remembered that he asked Eunuch An about the jade pendant, and Eunuch An went to report it to the emperor in a hurry. He also remembered the emperor's excited expression at that time, and what Eunuch An said, that the emperor had been looking for that jade pendant for many years and asked him to help the emperor find the other half.
Now that I know that half of the jade pendant belongs to Chen Wan, I must ask clearly.
Shen Wan shook her head, "I don't know where it is. When my mother gave it to me, it was only half a piece. I hope I can find the other half..."
As she spoke, Shen Wan pushed Xie Jingyu and said, "Tell me quickly, where is my half jade pendant now?"
Her eyes were almost spitting fire.
If you don't tell her, she'll be angry.
Xie Jingyu said, "It's with the emperor."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Shen Wan's pretty eyebrows were twisted into a ball.
She looked at Xie Jingyu blankly, "Why is he with the emperor?"
"The emperor also has a jade pendant like that."
Chen Wan's eyes widened and his voice rose, "Are you saying that the half of the jade pendant I'm looking for is in the hands of the emperor?"
Xie Jingyu said, "The jade pendant in the emperor's hand is a whole piece and intact."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Shen Wan was stunned.
Her mother only asked her to find the other half, but didn't tell her that there was another intact piece.
What is even more strange is how the other piece ended up in the emperor's hands.
Chen Wan had previously suspected that the half jade pendant was related to her life experience, but now that she knew it had something to do with the emperor, she didn't dare to think about it anymore. If the emperor was her biological father, then she and Xiao Yun would be brother and sister. Even if they were husband and wife in name only in their previous life, it would still be disgusting.
Shen Wan decisively put these speculations to rest and looked at Xie Jingyu eagerly, "Can I still get it back?"
Xie Jingyu looked at Shen Wan and said, "The thing is in the hands of the emperor and cannot be thrown away. If you want to get it back, you can only tell the emperor that the half jade pendant is yours."
The emperor rules the world, so it is impossible for him to regard a jade pendant as important, especially since the jade pendant has been broken and only half of it is left.
The only person the emperor cares about is the one holding the jade pendant.
As long as we tell the emperor, we will definitely get it back.
But after telling——
The emperor will definitely check how the jade pendant ended up in Shen Wan's hands.
Xie Jingyu was really confused about what the emperor and Shen Ji had been doing recently.
The emperor, the ruler of a country, condescended to congratulate old lady Lin on her birthday.
Shen Ji respected the old tutor Lin very much, but he did not let him investigate the fire in Prince Jin's mansion.
It just so happened that Princess Jin faked her death, gave birth to a child, and was hunted down.
Each one is more abnormal than the other.
Furthermore, Chen Wan is very likely not the biological child of Chen Ji and Yun Shi—
Suizhou, where Princess Jin was being hunted by assassins, happened to be on the only way from Kyoto to Yunzhou.
Before telling the emperor about the jade pendant, Xie Jingyu thought it would be better to tell Shen Ji first.
Shen Wan could hear what Xie Jingyu said. He did not agree with her asking the emperor to get it back. After all, the jade pendant in her previous life was useless in her hands, and it would be the same if it was kept with the emperor.
"Let's put it with the emperor first."
Chen Wan had been blaming herself these days for losing that half of the jade pendant. Now that she knew where the jade pendant went, she felt relieved and sleepy.
She yawned and was about to lie down to sleep when Xie Jingyu frowned and looked towards the door. "Who's outside?"
Mother Zhao, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was startled and said, "It's the servant."
Why is it Mother Zhao?
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu doubtfully. Xie Jingyu got out of bed and went to open the door.
Mother Zhao stood outside the door and said awkwardly, "Princess, I heard from the prince that the prince was very angry and vomited blood in the palace today. I was worried, so I asked this servant to come and take a look..."
Xie Jingyu frowned, "Can you see it if you stick close to the door?"
Mother Zhao, “…”
"The Crown Prince didn't sleep in the study. The princess was worried that the Crown Prince, at his age and full of vigor, might hurt the unborn child. She was worried..."
Xie Jingyu felt powerless, "Doesn't my mother trust me so much?"
"It's not that the princess doesn't trust the prince, it's really..."
Mother Zhao paused, then said stubbornly, "Back then, no one taught you, Your Highness, you almost died..."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Shen Wan, “…”
Shen Wan got off the bed and walked to the bead curtain. When he heard this, he really went back to bed.
Although Mother Zhao was so old, she was a little embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping. The princess was worried that she would pass on the message, so Mother Zhao went back.
Xie Jingyu closed the door and walked to the bedside, where he saw Shen Wan holding the quilt and looking at him, "Why don't you go to the study to sleep..."
She originally felt that it was unsafe to sleep in the same bed with Xie Jingyu, and the princess was also worried, so she had to be even more cautious.
No one knows a child better than his mother.
Like father, like son.
If Xie Jingyu loses control, she won't be able to resist.
Xie Jingyu gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay to be angry with me during the day, but you're still angry with me at night..."
No matter what he wanted to do, he would accept it even if they sent him to sleep in the study.
He didn't do anything, but we're guarding against him like we're guarding against a pervert. Isn't it unfair?
He got on the bed and threw Shen Wan directly to the ground. Shen Wan was limp and scared, "You, what are you doing?"
Xie Jingyu kissed her all the time and said angrily, "I'll show you with my actions that I can bear it."
Shen Wan, “…”
After saying this, Xie Jingyu got up and left.
What to do is self-evident.
asshole!
You better resist taking a cold shower.
