When Shen He bent over to check, he discovered the jade pendant. He did not say anything at the time and hurried over to find Chu Xuan.

It is a piece of white marble with a lifelike snake and snake patterns carved on it.

Chu Xuan's face darkened: "He is from Southern Xinjiang."

The people of Southern Xinjiang have always believed in snakes, and this snake pattern is a unique totem of Southern Xinjiang.

Lu Yanluo’s guess turned out to be correct. Nanyue was unwilling to be humiliated and secretly attacked the Ye Palace.

Shen He said, "I smelled kerosene and rushed over to check. I saw a group of men in black preparing to set fire. It seemed they wanted to take advantage of the dark night to burn down the Night Palace."

[This crazy Nanyue is even more cruel and ruthless than her aunt! It seems that this person cannot be kept. ]

Chu Xuan looked at Lu Yanluo, then lowered his eyes to study the snake-patterned jade pendant in his hand. After a moment, he said, "I will report this matter to the emperor at the court tomorrow morning. Since Nanyue has gone mad, why not let her go completely crazy? Let's make a big fuss and have the emperor investigate it himself."

Lu Yanluo frowned unconsciously, obviously somewhat disapproving.

[The dog emperor is obsessed with Concubine Xian and Nan Yue, will he really care about this matter? 】

【It is better to rely on yourself than on him. 】

But Chu Xuan didn't think so. He made a big deal out of it not to severely punish Nan Yue, but to restrain her. Once the matter got out of hand, even if Nan Yue was unwilling, she would never dare to take action against the Night Palace. What Chu Xuan wanted was Nan Yue's fear.

On the second day, Chu Xuan followed the plan and reported to the emperor that the Night Prince's Mansion was broken into by people from southern Xinjiang with the intention of setting fire. As expected, the emperor took it seriously and sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Chu Xuan had anticipated this. The emperor could allow someone to secretly murder his son, but he would never tolerate outsiders bullying the capital.

The emperor hated threats the most in his life. How could he allow others to sleep beside his bed? It was by no means a trivial matter for him that people from outside the borders intended to kill the prince of Tianji in the capital.

What's more, this person is the Night King Chu Xuan, who has led troops to quell rebellions many times and is the general of Tianji.

After adjourning the court, the emperor kept Chu Xuan and asked him in detail about what happened last night.

Chu Xuan told him everything he knew, and at the end he took out the snake-patterned jade pendant.

"This is a snake tattoo from Southern Xinjiang, and I found the same snake tattoo on the body of the assassin. I am sure that the people who sneaked into the palace are from Southern Xinjiang. It's a pity that they are all assassins, and not a single one is left alive."

If the emperor still held out a glimmer of hope before, after seeing the snake-patterned jade pendant, he was completely certain that what Chu Xuan said was true.

Soon, an order was issued from the Taiji Hall, placing the entire city on alert and conducting a strict investigation of people from Nanjian in the capital. Anyone with a snake tattoo would be arrested.

For a time, the capital city was in turmoil.

In Qingcheng Pavilion, Concubine Xian rushed in hurriedly with a tense face.

"Is this your fault?" Concubine Xian said angrily.

Nan Yue acted as if it had nothing to do with her, and slowly poured a cup of tea for Concubine Xian: "Aunt, why are you so flustered? Come sit down and have a cup of tea."

Concubine Xian was so angry that she threw the teacup to the ground and said, "Nanyue! How can you still hold on? His Majesty is hunting down people from Southern Xinjiang in the capital. Don't you know that? You sent those assassins, didn't you? Do you know that they are all dead?"

Nan Yue lowered her eyes and snorted coldly: "Why? Aunt is distressed? They didn't complete the mission, don't they deserve to die?"

This group of death warriors were secretly provided by Concubine Xian's mother for her to protect herself when she left southern Xinjiang. Over the years, no matter how hard her life was, she had never summoned this group of death warriors.

Because this is the last bond between her and her mother, and it is also the secret weapon she left for Chu Han to seize the throne. They have been hiding in every corner of the palace.

But this time, the exchange conditions proposed by Nanyue were too tempting, and she also benefited from it, so she made up her mind and handed over this group of assassins to Nanyue.

But I didn't expect to die so easily.

"Nanyue, you are crazy. Do you know that doing this may cause a war between Nanjiang and Tianji? Don't forget your mission in Tianji! I will give you three days to deal with this matter. If you can't handle it well, don't blame me, your aunt, for being ruthless."

"As for the assassins I have, from now on, you have no right to summon them. Take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Xian turned around and was about to leave.

Nan Yue stood up and sneered disdainfully: "Coward, you are so scared by the slightest disturbance, how can you accomplish anything big!"

Concubine Xian paused: "What are your plans for this matter? His Majesty is obviously angry, how are you going to end this?"

Nan Yue was calm and composed, not panicking at all: "Aunt, why are you in such a hurry? Since I dare to do it, I have made full preparations. So what if Ye Wang has the token of Nanjiang? Who can prove that the person wearing the token is from Nanjiang? In my opinion, someone is deliberately trying to stir up the relationship between Nanjiang and Tianji, intending to provoke a war. What do you think, aunt?"

Concubine Xian was secretly shocked, and she couldn't help but admire the teenage girl in front of her. She was ruthless, decisive, and cunning.

At night, Nan Yue walked quickly towards the Taiji Hall with red and swollen eyes and a pale face.

The emperor didn't want to see Nanyue at first. What he feared most now were people from southern Xinjiang. But Nanyue knelt for a long time and refused to get up. She insisted on seeing the emperor before she was willing to leave. In the end, he let the person in.

In the bedroom, Nan Yue lowered her head and sobbed, looking at the emperor pitifully.

"Your Majesty, I know you are furious and don't want to believe my words, but I still want to say that the jade pendant in King Ye's hand was given to me by my grandfather when I entered the capital. It was just to comfort me when I was homesick, but I didn't expect that the jade pendant disappeared when I first arrived in the capital."

"I don't know why I ended up in the hands of the Night King, but I guarantee that the people who attacked the Night King's Mansion were definitely not from Southern Xinjiang. Grandfather sent me to the palace because he was afraid that Southern Xinjiang and Tianji would start another war. Your Majesty, you should understand this!"

Nan Yue's act of showing loyalty obviously pleased the emperor, and the emperor's expression eased a little. He called for someone to help Nan Yue up.

"Of course I will not doubt the King of Southern Xinjiang's feelings for Tianji. My beloved concubine is worrying too much. Since you said that the jade pendant has been lost, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

The emperor believed Nan Yue's words and began to investigate who had contact with the envoy's team when Nan Yue came to Beijing.

After the investigation, they actually found a suspicious person, who was Cao Ren, the Deputy Minister of Rites.

Cao Ren once took the opportunity of welcoming Nan Yue to the capital to secretly approach Nan Yue. What his intention was is unknown. In short, the more he investigated, the more suspicious he became.

Eventually it was discovered that this man was a spy from the northern border, and the emperor immediately ordered him to be executed by slow slicing.

At this point, the matter of the Night King's Mansion has come to a conclusion.
