Chapter 136 Not much skill, but pretty.
Although Aunt Chang was just a palace maid, she had served three emperors and was highly respected in the palace because she had accompanied Empress Dowager Jing'an. The emperor granted her the authority to enter the palace at will.
However, Aunt Chang knew her place and knew that she was just a servant. Therefore, she would not go to the palace unless it was a matter of life and death.
This is the first time in recent years.
The emperor immediately went to greet her: "Grandma, what brings you here?"
Aunt Chang and Empress Dowager Jing'an were of the same generation, so the emperor would respectfully address her as "Grandma Chang".
Aunt Chang was a kind-looking woman. Although she had a full head of white hair and many wrinkles on her face, she was extremely well-off and had a rosy complexion, which was a sign of good fortune.
But now, her eyes were filled with anger: "I heard that His Majesty knows the whereabouts of the Prajna Glazed Lamp?"
The emperor asked in surprise, "You've heard about this, my dear aunt?"
"When I went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager today, I happened to hear that someone wanted to look at the 'Record of Rare Treasures in the Palace.' After inquiring further, I learned that it might be related to the Prajna Glass Lamp, which led to this speculation."
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Hu.
Old Master Hu felt bitter inside.
He didn't tell anyone at all!
But he can't say that for now.
And it's obvious that only one or two people could reach out here.
Of those, only one had a grudge against Yu Lang...
Therefore, there are some things he absolutely cannot say.
Aunt Chang looked at Yu Zhiyi with an inscrutable expression: "This must be the Imperial Physician Yu, personally appointed by His Majesty. He is quite handsome."
His expression and tone were not good.
The Emperor explained, "Grandma, don't underestimate Doctor Yu just because she's a woman. She's incredibly capable, especially in physiognomy, which is unparalleled in the world. She was the one who predicted the whereabouts of this Prajna Glass Lamp."
"Calculate?" Aunt Chang sneered: "Don't blame me for not reminding Your Majesty. Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have been swindling people under the guise of the Prajna Glazed Lamp. It was only because Your Majesty was too kind in the past that those demons and monsters failed to learn their lesson."
"If Physician Yu is like those people, only spouting plausible nonsense, Your Majesty must not be lenient again, otherwise who knows how many audacious people will come to swindle you in the future."
She was practically ready to point her finger at Yu Zhiyi and call her a liar.
No wonder she reacted so strongly.
Until her death, Empress Dowager Jing'an still longed for the glass lamp, because it was so beautiful and dreamlike, and had the effect of calming the mind. She fell in love with it almost at first sight.
Before she passed away, the words she uttered most often were: "Aunt Chang, my heart is pounding with anxiety. If only the glass lamp were still here, I could die without pain, without having to suffer this."
Therefore, neither the late emperor nor the current emperor has given up on finding the Prajna Glazed Lamp, which has given many people room to maneuver.
But often, these are just absurd farces based on rumors, ending in regret and anger.
Yu Zhiyi remained calm and composed, saying, "Aunt Chang, rest assured. Although I only possess some minor skills from my sect, I am definitely not a fraudster, nor would I do anything without certainty. If I say I can find it, I will definitely see the actual item."
Aunt Chang frowned slightly when she saw how confident she sounded.
Although I still didn't quite believe it, I couldn't resist the desire in my heart.
What if?
If this young girl can really find the glass lamp, then the Empress Dowager's spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace.
The Glass Palace.
When Consort Yu heard that Aunt Chang had entered the palace, she was in a good mood and admired her bright red fingernails.
"Although Aunt Chang is a kind person, she cannot tolerate any nonsense, and she especially cannot tolerate anyone using the name of the Empress Dowager of Jing'an to swindle and deceive."
Xiuzhu was a little worried: "But Your Highness, isn't it said that the imposter really has some skills? What if she actually figured it out?"
Consort Yu didn't take it seriously: "So what if she figured it out? As long as we destroy the glass lamp beforehand, she'll have miscalculated."
Xiuzhu's eyes lit up: "Brilliant, Your Majesty!"
The Empress did not appear in this matter from beginning to end.
The person who went to invite Aunt Chang was a beautiful woman who sent someone.
As for why the beauty knew about the glass lamp... she naturally overheard it "by chance".
In any case, once it succeeds, the emperor and Aunt Chang will surely be furious.
The emperor might still consider Prime Minister Du's feelings, but Aunt Chang wouldn't care.
That imposter is doomed.
The master and servant were in high spirits, waiting for their spies to report back so they could steal the glass lamp ahead of time, when a palace maid rushed in in a panic: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is heading towards the Glass Palace with Aunt Chang and Physician Yu."
Consort Yu frowned: "To the Glazed Palace?"
Why are they coming to the Glass Palace instead of looking for the Glass Lamp?
What's the point of that eyeliner? It's been so long, and there's still no news?
The emperor and his entourage arrived quickly, and before Consort Yu could react, they were already at the palace gate.
Consort Yu had no choice but to come out and greet them.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Chang." Consort Yu greeted the two women one by one, without even glancing at Yu Zhiyi, and asked, "Why has Your Majesty arrived at this hour? Aunt Chang is here too, is there something you need?"
The emperor's expression was strange: "This, you should ask Minister Yu."
Let's rewind to a quarter of an hour ago.
After Yu Zhiyi assured Aunt Chang that she would definitely find the Glazed Lamp, Aunt Chang asked with some doubt, "Where is the Glazed Lamp?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhiyi did not answer directly, but said, "If you say it out loud, the thing will fly away. Your Majesty and Aunt Chang should go and find it yourselves. Only your noble aura can suppress the mysterious power of the glass lamp."
These words sounded very mystical, and Aunt Chang didn't believe them, but the Emperor did, so he had Yu Zhiyi lead the way.
As they continued, the group arrived at this place.
Facing the emperor's peculiar gaze, Yu Zhiyi did not flinch and stepped forward: "Your Highness Consort Yu, we have come here today to search for a treasure that has been missing for thirty years, the Prajna Glazed Lamp."
Consort Yu knew, of course, that they wanted to find the glass lamp.
The key question is: What are you doing here?!
Thinking this way, she asked the question.
Yu Zhiyi asked with a strange expression, "Why does Consort Yu think the Glazed Palace is called the Glazed Palace?"
Thirty years ago, this palace was not called Liuli Palace, but Luoxia Palace.
Later, one of the late emperor's favorite concubines moved in. She felt that Luoxia was too unlucky, so she begged the late emperor to change her name.
From then on, Luoxia Palace was transformed into Liuli Palace.
"Absurd!" Consort Yu exclaimed angrily, "Are you implying that the Prajna Crystal Lamp was hidden by the late Emperor?"
Not to mention Consort Yu, even the Emperor and Aunt Chang were very dissatisfied with this answer.
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "Of course not."
