Chi Yuan gave the leftover clothes to Qian He and asked him to find a palace servant to clean them up.
Then Chi Yuan took out the red jade from his pocket.
"Qianhe, do you know where this jade pendant came from?" Chi Yuan handed the red jade to Qianhe.
Qianhe handed the clothes in his hand to the palace maid behind him, and respectfully took the red jade from Chi Yuan's hand with both hands, carefully examining and recalling it.
"Forgive my impertinence, Your Majesty, but may I ask where this piece of red jade came from?" Qianhe asked, somewhat surprised.
"I just discovered it from the red tiger outfit that the Empress Dowager really likes."
"Forgive my ignorance, but I really can't recall it for the moment. However, judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to belong to Empress Dowager Gu." Qianhe pondered for a while, confirming that he did not have this item in his memory.
"Alright, I understand. You may all leave now." Chi Yuan waved his hand, dismissing all the palace servants.
That's strange.
He sat down behind the desk and carefully examined the red jade in his hand.
Because of the prolonged grip, the small piece of red jade felt intensely warm from my palm.
He knew of Qian He's ability to be humble, and that a large part of the reason he was able to become the Grand Eunuch was because of his photographic memory.
Sometimes, even Chi Yuan couldn't remember things, but Qian He could. He could even remember thousands of items in Chi Yuan's mother's storeroom. He was truly unforgettable at first glance, which is why he was highly regarded.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: his mother never wore this item.
So... where did this piece of jade come from?
Suddenly, a tremendous sense of panic seemed to engulf him.
Some unpleasant memories surfaced, and certain things seemed to connect, forming a certain speculation in his mind.
Soon, several of the most outstanding senior physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy arrived in haste with their suitcases.
Under Chi Yuan's orders, the imperial physicians examined Shen Yulou, the fox cub, themselves, Qian He, and everyone who had come into contact with the red jade, including the jade itself.
In the end, the imperial physicians looked at each other in bewilderment, because they had indeed found nothing unusual.
But Chi Yuan still did not relax.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yulou asked with some concern, seeing Chi Yuan's tense demeanor.
With a slight wave of his hand behind his back, the palace servants left the area once again.
Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan were left behind.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some unpleasant things." Chi Yuan looked at the fox cub and Shen Yulou's faces, and his turbulent emotions began to calm down slowly.
Shen Yulou didn't ask any more questions. She went around behind Chi Yuan and used her long fingers to massage his temples.
The force was gentle, which made Chi Yuan somewhat infatuated.
"Qianhe said, 'My mother never had this jade pendant, so where did it come from?'"
After a long while, Chi Yuan finally spoke slowly.
Nobody knows the answer.
"Don't think too much about it. Let's rest early tonight. An'an and I will stay here with you." Shen Yulou lowered her head and nuzzled Chi Yuan's face.
Chi Yuan finally nodded.
After the meal, Chi Yuan still looked worried.
Shen Yulou decided to give him a break ahead of schedule and let him relax.
So he took out the last pill from the system space and swallowed it, then grabbed Chi Yuan by the collar and they entered the warm hot spring bath together.
"It's so hot..." Shen Yulou murmured, his fingers, which had been setting Chi Yuan on fire all over his body, were now being forcibly teased by Chi Yuan.
The scalding steam enveloped their skin.
"It's so hot... um..." As if something had suddenly happened, the beauty in his arms parted her red lips slightly and arched her waist slightly, as if she had endured great stimulation.
At the extreme temperature, the beauty even sprouted two furry ears.
"It's so bloated..." the beauty murmured absentmindedly, her pupils even vacant.
Chi Yuan was stunned, and became even more excited. His playful and agile tongue kept teasing his furry, sensitive ear, watching the beauty in his arms being teased to the point of utter confusion.
