Seeing her flustered appearance, Ying Zheng shouted, "What are you doing in the main hall?!"
Consort Xiao stopped in her tracks, her eyes red as if she had just been crying. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but the matter is urgent. Please help me."
Ying Zheng picked up the memorial. "What is it?"
Consort Xiao pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry, "Your Majesty, please help me find my jade pendant."
Ying Zheng was a little angry. "It's just a jade pendant. Why are you making such a fuss about it!"
Which imperial concubine in this palace would lack a jade pendant?
Consort Xiao lowered her head. "If it were an ordinary jade pendant, it would be fine if it were lost, but it was a keepsake left to me by my father. It is my only memento, and I must find it!"
As she spoke, Consort Xiao couldn't help but cry, "Your Majesty, please help me."
Ying Zheng frowned. "How did it fall off?"
Consort Xiao looked at Yingchun, the maidservant beside her, and said, "I asked this lowly maidservant to take it for care, and it fell off."
Yingchun knelt on the ground in fear, pleading, "Your Majesty, spare me! They were all there when I finished treating them, I don't know how they just disappeared..."
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chun and asked, "Where have you been?"
Yingchun recalled the events with a flustered expression, her words becoming somewhat stammering, "This servant...this servant went to Consort Shu's place once."
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. "Consort Shu? What are you doing there?"
This was somewhat of a coincidence, and Ying Zheng had already sensed something unusual.
Yingchun was almost in tears. "Your Highness said you like azaleas. I remember there were many in Consort Shu's garden, so I went to Consort Shu's garden to look for them."
"It seems it fell into Consort Shu's garden. Let's go, I'll accompany you to take a look!"
Ying Zheng stood up.
Consort Xiao was taken aback. "Is His Majesty going too?"
She had originally planned to cause a scene here, and with Ying Zheng's various orders, she would be able to freely enter the Consort Shu's Garden to dig out that thing.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng actually wanted to go in person?
However, it's just as well, because if Ying Zheng were present, he would surely be furious when he found that thing.
Will Consort Shu be as beautiful then!
······
The group arrived at Consort Shu's palace, where Consort Shu was feeding the baby with a milk pot.
Just as Consort Shu was about to rise and curtsy, Ying Zheng stopped her, saying, "My beloved consort, there's no need for such formalities!"
Seeing the two being so affectionate, Consort Xiao was furious.
OK!
Calling her Shufei means "beloved concubine".
Call her that, and she'll be you.
You bitch!
I'm going to teach you a lesson today!
Consort Shu looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression, "Why has Your Majesty come?"
Ying Zheng got straight to the point, "Consort Xiao said she lost her jade pendant in your garden, let her look for it."
[Bad woman! Evil woman!]
[A wicked woman is going to frame Mother!]
Upon seeing Xiao Fei, the little guy frowned, looking quite menacing.
Consort Shu's eyes were indifferent. "Is that so? Please, sister."
She felt very gratified.
Good Yu'er, you still know to worry about your mother.
But I'll be fine.
Ying Zheng was also thinking to himself.
Don't worry, Yu'er, your father is here. Let's see what kind of trouble this guy can cause today!
The group arrived at the back garden, and at Xiao Fei's command, Yingchun entered the back garden to begin the search.
After searching for a while without finding anything, they even started digging with a hoe.
Consort Shu looked on coldly, without the slightest panic.
After a long while, Yingchun returned to Consort Xiao's side, her face looking very unpleasant. "Your Majesty, no."
Xiao Fei's expression tightened. "No? How could there be no one?!"
Could it be that Consort Liang is deceiving me?!
Could those two little bitches be in cahoots?!
She felt somewhat uneasy.
Ying Zheng was also somewhat surprised.
How could it not be found?
He had already planned how to clear Consort Shu's name and then deal with Consort Xiao properly.
But if you can't find it, then it's a bit out of character.
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chun, "Where else have you been?"
Yingchun lowered her head, as if trying hard to recall.
Xiao Fei frowned, sensing that something was very wrong.
After a while, Yingchun raised her head and said, "Oh, right, I also went to the back garden of Xuanyi Palace."
Consort Xiao was taken aback. "What are you doing in my back garden?"
Yingchun avoided eye contact. "Because I couldn't find azaleas in Consort Shu's garden, I went to look for them in the back garden of Xuanyi Palace."
Ying Zheng also felt that something was strange. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It may have been left in the back garden of Xuanyi Palace. Let's go and look for it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fei realized that something was completely wrong.
She quickly stopped Ying Zheng, "No need, Your Majesty. Since it's in my garden, I'll go find it myself. I won't waste Your Majesty's precious time."
Ying Zheng frowned. "Didn't you say the item was very important? How can I be at ease if it's not found?"
Consort Shu echoed, "Yes, His Majesty meant well."
Xiao Fei had a bitter face, but now she was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back.
Wow, I see. No wonder I couldn't find it.
[Mommy is so amazing! Mommy is so powerful!]
The little guy's voice came through.
Ying Zheng was taken aback.
how?
Why wasn't it found?
Hey kid, can you stop saying half of what you mean?
In the back garden, Yingchun was diligently digging in the soil, carefully searching for the jade pendant.
Ying Zheng and the others waited on the side.
After a moment, Yingchun's face lit up with joy, "Found it!"
Ying Zheng stepped forward and saw that she was holding a jade pendant in her hand.
