Chapter 60: Averting Danger (Thanks Collection 2)
Lingyu was indeed missing.
This piece of jade is the main object to prove her identity and is the amulet that Grandfather asked for her.
In the Yun family, his role is the same as that of the head of the family.
The current head of the Yun family, Wu'an Marquis Yun Rui, had given special instructions.
Because this item was so valuable, it was kept at the bottom of a box and rarely worn.
But that day, Yun Yu'an decided to go to Yu Lake to see the lotus flowers. Presumably, they were left behind during that trip.
The only person who saw it was Yuan Zhen.
But no one must know about this.
After all, if it had fallen into Huaqing Palace, Concubine Su would have returned it to her long ago.
Oops.
Yun Zhuan's brain was working rapidly, and he began to establish the crime scene and the various possibilities that could have happened after the Lingyu was lost.
If it were picked up by someone with ulterior motives, they would use it as a handle to slander her reputation, or as a handle to capture her. As for what kind of crime they would fabricate, Yun Ju'an couldn't think of it for the time being.
The worst outcome is to throw this thing to the edge of the imperial prison.
Being caught red-handed by Emperor Yuan, no matter how many people in the harem helped her, she could not avoid offending the Yun family in the end.
"Your Highness, are you here?" It seemed to be Shang Defang.
She served His Majesty closely, but unlike the eunuchs who spoke in a low voice, she had her own gentle voice.
Yun Zhuan sounds very familiar.
After receiving Yun Zhuan's signal, Lu'e immediately went to open the palace gate.
Shang Defang was outside, smiling businesslike:
"Miss, His Majesty and the Queen are waiting for you!"
Yun Ju'an suddenly felt uneasy, probably because of the spiritual jade. If he had known this, he would have hung it around his neck instead of his waist.
"Sir, do you know what's going on?"
This eunuch Shang has a good impression of me, and he would probably tell me so that I can have peace of mind and not lose my composure in front of His Majesty and His Majesty.
"Princess, how could you be so careless?" Shang Dajian sighed, with a hint of reproach in his eyes, "Your Majesty is still waiting for your explanation!"
After hearing this, Yun Ju'an felt relieved.
The accuser had an explanation, probably because of Empress Yuan, so Emperor Yuan would listen to his defense.
Otherwise, this is too unreasonable.
Yun Zhuan took a deep breath and said, "Don't blame me, sir. It was Yuling who was too playful and messed up."
"Princess, you should think carefully about your words in your mind and explain it to His Majesty and His Majesty." Eunuch Shang shut up and calmly led the little eunuch in front to lead the way.
Yun Zhuan was wondering in his heart who had picked up this thing.
If it was Concubine Rong and Concubine Zhen, these two people would never be so easy and would not wait for me to explain. They would definitely suppress me to death and would not leave me any room for turning around.
That's someone else.
There are several concubines in the palace.
Concubine Ying?
No, it can't be her. The royal concubine is kind-hearted, and with Ruan Jiayan watching over her, nothing will happen.
There was also a concubine named Hefei in the harem, and the eleventh prince Yuan Yi was her child.
Yuan Yi hasn't grown up yet, and He Fei probably won't confront the Yun family directly.
Apart from these, the only possibility left is Concubine Shu.
She had two sons, the eighth and ninth princes, Yuanyou and Yuanhu.
My mother's family was not stable either. She was just a fourth-rank official in the Dali Temple. If the two children were not twins, and if they had taken advantage of the loophole at the time, they probably would not have been able to be born.
So, she needs to sell Yun Zhuan this favor.
In order to gain the gratitude of the Yun family.
What does a little girl of twelve or thirteen know?
There is only fear and panic.
The location is the Yangde Palace next to the Xuanzheng Hall.
This is the place where Emperor Yuan usually meets with the Empress when he handles harem affairs.
Yun Yu'an walked into Yangde Palace step by step with a generous and calm expression on his face.
As expected, she did see Concubine Shu.
Sitting above were the very majestic Emperor Yuan and the gentle and kind Empress Yuan.
The next one is Lan Deng, Yuan Zhen.
When Yuan Yao saw Yun Zhuan, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yuan Zhen's eyes were still polite and gentle when he looked at Yun Zhuan.
Stable.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Yun Ju'an kowtowed.
This is the third time.
Emperor Yuan seemed somewhat helpless: "Please give me a throne, Yuling, didn't you say that you don't need to kowtow to me and the Empress?"
Yun Zhuan did not lose her composure, "This servant has met Princess Lan Deng, the Second Prince, and Madam Shufei."
Only then did he sit down obediently under the Queen Mother's gentle gaze.
"Yu Ling is smart, and the Queen has taught her well!" Emperor Yuan looked at Yun Zhuan with satisfaction, then turned around and smiled at Queen Yuan.
If people who don’t know about it, they will surely sigh at the deep love between the emperor and the empress, and their harmonious coexistence, which is a role model for couples in the world.
Yun Zhuan was very well behaved and dressed elegantly and gracefully:
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here today?"
Emperor Yuan stopped laughing immediately and turned to look at Concubine Shu:
"Shufei, please speak."
Concubine Shu smiled gently: "Princess, I'm sorry for offending you, but..."
"My maid found the princess' belongings in Yu Lake and said that she saw the princess having a secret meeting with a man..."
Having said that, he asked someone to take out the piece of spiritual jade.
"I wonder if this is the princess's... token of love?"
Shufei originally wanted to ask if this was the princess's token of love, but she was such a cautious person that she was afraid that she might say something wrong and make Yun Zhuan bear a grudge against her.
This princess is the little bully of the Yun family and also the devil of the entire Shangjing.
Will anything good come of provoking her?
"Your Majesty Shufei, please be careful with your words!" Yuan Zhen said, "Father, Your Majesty, I met the princess by chance when I entered the palace last time. The princess was admiring lotus flowers, so I went up to her and asked for her opinion on lotus flowers."
"The princess is very polite. We both maintained etiquette and did not overstep the mark. I hope your Majesty will understand."
Yun Yu'an bowed and said, "This item of yours was indeed lost after I saw it with the Second Prince. I wonder where Madam Shu picked it up from. Was it from the side of Yu Lake?"
"This is something that Marquis Wu'an gave to me, saying it is to protect me."
The implication was that Concubine Shu should consider whether or not to make a fuss about this matter.
There are reasons for this, and there are witnesses, so it really doesn't make sense.
This is the amulet given to her by Marquis Wu'an. There is no way he would give it to someone else.
Secondly, Emperor Yuan should also think about this: Marquis Wu'an devoted himself to the Yuan Kingdom on the battlefield, but your concubine was arranging his granddaughter in the harem.
The minds of the ruler and his subjects can be sown by tricks.
Not to mention the thousands of mountains and rivers and the long distance.
Perhaps it is just a simple thing that will make Marquis Wu'an give it a try, or never be loyal to the Yuan royal family again!
With his family background and two sons, does he have the ability to compete with the Yun family?
Just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the hall, bringing some branches and leaves in all directions.
Even the smoke from the incense burning in the hall suddenly spread in all directions.
All was quiet.
Everyone was waiting.
A strong wind blew past, and everyone present was filled with worry.
The Empress Yuan tried to ease the mood and said with a smile, "It is indeed because I have been lenient with the palace. The weather has turned cloudy, but these palace maids and eunuchs have turned a deaf ear to it."
"After your majesty leaves, I will punish him severely."
Emperor Yuan seemed to have come back to his senses:
"Since it was left to the princess by Marquis Wu'an, you should keep it well and don't throw it away next time."
Concubine Shu also hurriedly explained: "It was my words that were not proper, please don't take it to heart, my lady."
Yun Zhuan is well behaved:
"I obey your command. I have to thank the Empress Shufei for what happened today. Otherwise, if this falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, I am afraid that I will never be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River."
As he said this, he bowed to Concubine Shuying.
The most gentle and submissive attitude.
I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't use it. From now on, you will no longer have the slightest chance to control her!
If Concubine Shu wants to control her, she has to see if she has the ability to do so.
