When Princess Fengling came out of Tianyifang, she was holding a real and fake jade pendant in her hand to hide her identity.
She even changed into a new set of clothes, which was seamless.
She wandered around in the winding alleys and finally walked out of an alley. Then, wearing a cloak, she entered Ningshi Medical Clinic in the snow.
She has been a frequent visitor here these days.
The person I see most often here is Ning Jinhua.
She came again today to get the tranquilizing medicine, but after entering, she couldn't find Ning Jinhua, who was usually busy in the lobby. She went to the inner room to ask Mr. Ning.
The old man just said that Ning Jinhua was busy and didn't say anything else.
Princess Fengling was confused, but she couldn't ask any more questions, so she could only leave.
When she left, she took out a set of outer clothes from her bag and changed into them, then threw the rest of her clothes at Ningshi Clinic.
On the way back to the palace from Ningshi Medical Clinic, Princess Fengling passed by the dilapidated Prime Minister's Mansion. She stopped for a moment outside the mansion gate, but then left.
Princess Fengling returned to the Qilan Pavilion in the imperial palace. As soon as she stepped in, she was blocked by her eunuch.
"Princess, the emperor has summoned you."
Princess Fengling suddenly felt cold all over.
She knew that Xu Jinghuai was unusually perceptive, but she didn't expect him to notice it so quickly.
But fortunately, she was prepared in advance.
So, she smiled at her father-in-law and rubbed the real jade pendant again and again, feeling both nostalgic and worried. She was nostalgic because she knew it was Xu Jinghuai's personal token, and carrying it was as if Xu Jinghuai was by her side. She was worried because if Xu Jinghuai saw the jade pendant, he would know that Yan Yunshu had asked the guards to look for him.
Yan Yunshu was now far away from the imperial city and on her way to Lingxiu City.
What she least wanted right now was for any information about Yan Yunshu to reach the palace.
After thinking it over, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and threw the black jade pendant heavily at his feet.
The heavy jade pendant instantly sank into the snow.
The snow is still falling heavily.
Soon there was no trace left.
She then smiled and said, "Please lead the way, father-in-law."
In the imperial study, Xu Jinghuai was wearing a long robe and his face was as cold as ice. He looked at the guards and Princess Fengling who were kneeling on the ground.
"Jade pendant."
"Your Majesty, the jade pendant has been taken away by the princess..."
Princess Fengling calmly took out the jade pendant from her sleeve.
"Your Majesty, this is the fake jade pendant."
The father-in-law came over, took the jade pendant, and presented it to Xu Jinghuai.
After Xu Jinghuai looked at the jade pendant, his expression froze, and then he spoke coldly to Princess Fengling.
"You dare to meddle in the affairs of the imperial palace?"
Princess Fengling's mind was in a mess. How could she forget what kind of person Xu Jinghuai was? What he cared about most was always beyond her imagination.
For example, they were clearly talking about jade pendants.
But it comes to management rights.
"Your Majesty, I was worried that there might be assassins in the palace, so I took over your duties and took this fake jade pendant."
"How can you tell if this jade pendant is real or fake? My jade pendant, whether it's real or fake, only I can tell."
This question stumped Princess Fengling.
She hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
I can only beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, I am ignorant, please forgive me."
Xu Jinghuai was shrouded in an oppressive chill.
He looked at the face that was almost identical to his aunt's, and did not completely tear the skin of Princess Fengling.
She was just temporarily confined to Qilan Pavilion.
He knew that Yan Yunshu suspected that the princess was Yan Shuyao, but no matter whether she was Yan Shuyao or not, the girl in front of him was his innocent cousin and the only child of his aunt.
In this world, besides Yan Yunshu, his aunt is his only softness.
Now that his aunt was unconscious again, he let Princess Fengling go for the time being.
Just to hold on to the faint hope that my cousin would be safe and sound.
After Princess Fengling left.
Xu Jinghuai dismissed everyone and summoned the secret guard Ying Feng.
"Your Majesty, our people entered Maple Forest City three days ago, and everything is proceeding according to plan."
"Well, Yan Yunyi, there must not be any mistakes."
"promise."
"Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, this is a jade pendant." Yingfeng handed the black jade pendant to Xu Jinghuai.
Xu Jinghuai took the jade pendant, and a tenderness that had not been seen in a long time flashed in his eyes.
Yan Yunshu, you have to believe me.
I can always trust me...
White snowflakes are always white snowflakes, even if they are stained with blood in an instant, they are still white snowflakes.
…
Qilan Pavilion.
Princess Fengling was frantically searching for the real jade pendant in the snowy field she had just left.
She didn't dare to make a sound and could only search silently in the snow alone.
She searched every inch of the snow and every corner of Qilan Pavilion.
They even searched the entire palace and the guards and palace maids under the pretext that valuables were lost.
Still not found.
How is this possible?
Unless Xu Jinghuai sent someone to follow her and took it away at the first opportunity!
Thinking of this, she got goosebumps all over her body.
Just now, Xu Jinghuai must have let her go easily because of her mother, Gu!
But even so.
She still needed the jade pendant, whether for the sake of lingering affection or to alienate Yan Yunshu and Xu Jinghuai.
She looked at her father, the Duke of Qi.
I heard Duke Qi talk about this jade pendant last time. He said that this jade pendant has one black and one white, and was made by the late emperor for the prince himself. The blueprint at that time was also drawn by Duke Qi himself.
Thinking of this, she had an idea, pulled the sleeve of Duke Qi, and cried aggrievedly.
"Dad, my daughter has lost something extremely important. Dad must help me find it."
Duke Qi agreed numbly, but looked at Princess Fengling with a complicated expression.
For some reason, since the day she fell into the water, he felt that his daughter had become a person he didn't recognize at all.
"That's a black jade pendant, the same one we confiscated at the gate of the Imperial City that day."
Duke Qi was shocked. "Feng Ling, what did you say? Didn't you just give the jade pendant to His Majesty?"
"Dad, Feng Ling lied."
Feng Ling's tears rolled down his cheeks. "Daddy, Feng Ling has my cousin in her heart. Feng Ling loves my cousin so much that she used this method to prevent the guard from seeing His Majesty. That guard must be Yan Yunshu's!"
The Duke of Qi felt terrible and could not believe his ears.
"Feng Ling, you are so brave!"
"Dad, Feng Ling was ignorant. Feng Ling regrets it. Dad must help Feng Ling and find the jade pendant."
"Why are you looking for it? It's not yours in the first place. Besides, who is your cousin? I'm afraid he already knows about your little tricks. The real jade pendant might already be in his hands. Now that things have come to this, he is only confining you for the sake of your mother. If you continue to act recklessly, it will not be just a simple confinement!"
