The palace maid's words caused a storm in Ji Huangzhen's heart.
If Xia Chujian really possessed such power, then... wouldn't she turn the entire empire upside down?!
But, is this possible? !
She knew that Xia Chujian was not a genetically evolved person.
If there was no second-generation mecha to protect him, even an ordinary genetic evolver could kill Xia Chujian with one punch!
How could such a person possess such strong power? !
This is illogical!
She absolutely doesn't believe it.
There must be something they don't know...
Ji Huangzhen was extremely confused, but she did not delay. She immediately took the palace maid to see the Empress Tan Tai Zijun.
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun was wondering what was going on with the Heike clan when she saw Ji Huangzhen coming back with a palace maid.
Empress Tantai Zijun put down the file in her hand and said calmly, "Aunt Ji, is there anything else?"
Ji Huangzhen hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have obtained important information about that member of the Ping family."
Then she looked at the maid and said, "Tell His Majesty about it."
The maid hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is what happened! After further investigation, we discovered that the man from the Ping family who was sent here was able to make the pearl shine because he stole a gift from his sister's family."
"And this gift is Xia Chujian... Lieutenant General Xia's wedding gift to Ping Qiong."
Empress Tantai Zijun's pupils suddenly contracted, but quickly returned to normal. She said, "Are you sure? Where did you get the news?"
"Is that gift still there?"
The palace maid hurriedly said, "It's still there. It's this one."
As she spoke, she took out a small brocade bag from her pocket, and then took out a white jade bracelet from the bag.
The jade is delicate and white, like mutton fat, it must be the best mutton fat jade.
Ji Huangzhen looked at it carefully and said, "This jade is of very good quality. I have never seen mutton-fat jade of such fine quality."
"This bracelet itself is worth a lot of money. If it were really sold at an auction house, it would probably be worth a single-family villa in the best location in the capital of Beichen Star."
The maid who had just excitedly taken out the bracelet suddenly widened her eyes and cried out, "What?! So expensive?!"
A single-family villa in the best location of the capital of Beichen Star, even if it is not particularly large, is worth tens of billions of Beichen coins!
A little palace maid like her couldn't earn enough to buy a single-family villa even if she worked as a palace maid for ten lifetimes!
For a moment, she even felt a little regretful...
Why did she send this bracelet up?
Wouldn't it be nice to just keep it for yourself, exchange it for money, and then run away?!
However, this thought only flashed through her mind and she suppressed it.
After all, she's not the only one who knows about this...
Moreover, with her status, if she took out such a bracelet to exchange for money, she might not get money but her life!
This kind of temptation, she is not the only one who wants to rob the robbers!
The palace maid's mood completely calmed down.
With a humble smile on his face, he presented the bracelet with both hands.
Empress Tan Tai Zijun took the bracelet from the palace maid and looked at it over and over for a while, but could not see any difference between it and ordinary jewelry.
Yes, it may look whiter, smoother and more glutinous, but that's all.
That is, a piece of jewelry in slightly better condition.
As for exchanging it for a detached villa in the best location in the imperial capital, in fact, in the eyes of the nobles, this is irrelevant.
This shows that it is still something that has a price and a market.
Since it has a price and a market, it is not that precious.
Those who collect jewelry and antiques know that in this industry, the most precious items are priceless.
That is, you can bid as much as you want, but the owner will not sell it under normal circumstances, unless they will die if they don't sell it.
However, in the eyes of Empress Tan Tai Zijun, this mutton-fat jade bracelet is obviously not that precious.
But, that man surnamed Ping could light up the pearl just by stealing the jade bracelet?!
Why is she so unconvinced...
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun remained silent.
Ji Huangzhen, the chief female official beside the Empress Dowager, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we still need to investigate this matter."
“Who knows if it’s true?”
These words reminded the empress Tan Tai Zijun.
She thought she had a preconceived notion.
Whenever something related to Xia Chujian occurs, one will be caught in a dilemma.
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun casually threw the bracelet onto the long desk in front of her, making a crisp clanging sound.
She said calmly, "Well, you guys go down, I'll find someone to check again."
Ji Huangzhen hurriedly bowed and took the palace maid away.
After leaving the Empress's palace, Ji Huangzhen said to the maid, "You have performed a great service. Come to me and I will give you a reward."
The palace maid was very happy and followed her into Ji Huangzhen's residence.
Because Ji Huangzhen was the chief female official of Empress Dowager Li Fengen, although she usually lived outside the palace, she also had her own room inside the palace.
After the palace maid came in, Ji Huangzhen poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile, "This is the new tea given by the Empress Dowager. It has a very unique flavor. Would you like to try it?"
Then he also served a plate of snacks made by the imperial kitchen in the palace.
The maid was flattered and quickly bowed to take it. She took a sip of tea and then a bite of the snack. She couldn't help but say, "This tea is delicious! The snack is delicious too!"
Ji Huangzhen said with a smile: "Eat more if you like it!"
Then, the palace maid found that she couldn't stop.
