Chapter 128: Scumbag, this is obviously intentional!

This jade pendant was given to Xu Yanyi from the Lord of Qingyi County.

At that time, she moved quickly enough that no one saw when and how she got the jade pendant from the Lord of Qingyi County.

Xu Yanyi placed the jade pendant in front of her and studied it.

The reason why she took the jade pendant was because one of the horses in the painting of thousands of galloping horses had a jade pendant like this one hanging around its neck.

"Strange, this jade pendant looks ordinary in texture and has no special meaning, why is it included in the painting?"

Xu Yanyi frowned. An ordinary jade pendant could actually appear in the painting drawn by the late emperor. This meant that the late emperor must have seen such a jade pendant before, or it must have some profound meaning to him, so he unconsciously painted it in. Otherwise, why would he do that?

But why is this jade pendant on the body of Qingyi County Lord?

Wait, Princess Shuyun was originally going to be the emperor’s concubine, so the empress dowager gave her the jade pendant as a token of trust.

Now that Princess Shuyun has committed suicide and has been replaced by the Princess Qingyi, if Xu Yanyi remembers correctly, this jade pendant seems to be of similar texture to the one Princess Shuyun wore before, but the style is different.

If the jade pendant of Qingyi County Lord was not the same as the one in the painting, Xu Yanyi would not have noticed it.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother also gave it to me? After all, the texture and the method of tying the rope are exactly the same." Xu Yanyi frowned. "That makes sense. When the rebels entered the city three years ago, weren't the Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor the biggest beneficiaries? If this thing was given by the Queen Mother to the Lord of Qingyi County, it makes sense. But... what is the meaning behind it?"

Xu Yanyi couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Just at this moment, Xu Yanyi heard a rustling sound coming from outside.

Um?

Xu Yanyi stood up, walked over and opened the window.

A woman dressed quite gorgeously was squatting there, digging in the soil with a shovel in her hand and muttering to herself. It looked very weird.

How come there is such a person in the Nanling Palace?

Xu Yanyi tilted her head to look but couldn't tell who it was.

She waved to the maid who was guarding on the side and called her over, pointing and saying, "Who is that person? Why haven't I seen him before?"

The maid whispered: "It's not your fault that the princess has never seen this person. This person is the housekeeper's daughter, named Yueya. She was attacked by bandits on her way to the capital and her innocence was tarnished. Since then, she has been a little crazy.

The housekeeper placed her in the woodshed in the backyard. The prince also knew about it. She usually didn't go out, but tonight she insisted that there were treasures here and she wanted to come and dig for them.

Just now, we servants also went to tell the prince, but the prince... the prince said that the princess is very powerful and it is impossible for her to be frightened by a madman, so we don’t need to care, so..."

The maid couldn't continue.

Xu Yanyi sneered. Mu Nanzhou was such a scumbag. It was obvious that he did this on purpose!

"What treasure did you dig up?"

Xu Yanyi leaned on the windowsill and waved at the crescent moon.

Yueya turned around and seemed to look at her carefully, then shook the shovel in her hand: "I haven't found it yet. Who are you? Can you come over and help me dig?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a nanny reminded her: "Yueya, hurry back to your room. This is where the princess lives. That's Princess Nanling! If you disturb her sweet dreams, she will be angry!"

Yueya looked a little aggrieved: "But I have searched everywhere in the Nanling Palace and couldn't find it. I just couldn't find it here. Besides, the princess wasn't angry. She even asked me what treasure I dug up."

"This..." The corner of the nanny's mouth twitched, "Then you have to go back and rest. If your father knew about this, he would be angry again, right?"

Hearing about her father, Yueya seemed a little nervous. She stood up and said helplessly: "Then don't tell my father. I...I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Yueya ran away in a flash.

The nanny sighed speechlessly, turned around and saluted Xu Yanyi: "Princess, Yueya is not very smart, please don't be offended, we were all staring at her just now, and nothing else happened."

Xu Yanyi nodded, and thought about the crescent shape just now. She curled the corners of her mouth. A man like Mu Nanzhou was actually willing to keep a silly woman in the palace?

There must be cat shit.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanyi said calmly: "Mammy, all the people in my yard are my people. You are also an elder in the palace. You are also very responsible in guarding the yard on weekdays. But what happened tonight? You let a fool into my yard. Did the prince tell you to do it, or did you do it on purpose?"

Hearing this, the nanny felt her whole body go cold, especially Xu Yanyi's gaze, which was so terrifying as if it was poisoned.

This Xu Yanyi is becoming more and more difficult to please!

The nanny pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly: "Princess, you really love to joke. Since I am in charge of the guard, I will naturally not let anyone in on purpose."

"That's what Mu Nanzhou ordered? Okay, I'll go find Mu Nanzhou now!"

Xu Yanyi is about to go out!

The nanny was anxious. It was clearly her fault for not taking good care of the child. How could she blame the prince?

This...if the prince knew about this, would he still forgive him?

Everyone in the palace knew that Mu Nanzhou came back tonight with a lot of anger in his heart and nowhere to vent it. If such a thing happened to him, he would be asking for trouble.

Plop.

The nanny knelt on the ground immediately: "No, no, no, it was my fault for not watching carefully, but I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, she just dug around there after she came in and didn't cause any trouble. I also asked someone to notify the prince, and the prince said that as long as she didn't cause any trouble, he would just ignore her. This is... this is my fault, this is my fault!"

As she spoke, the nanny quickly lowered her head and kowtowed.

Xu Yanyi sneered: "I see you are not unimpressed, but you have no interest in managing it! If you don't have the interest, then don't hang around me, or if something gets lost here one day, you, the one in charge, won't know what happened! Xiaoyu, pack up the things for Madam, and ask her to go wherever it's cool!"

hiss!

No one present dared to say a word. Xu Yanyi really didn't show any mercy at all.

The nanny was anxious: "Princess, I am also an old man in the mansion. How can you just drive me away and..."

"It's good enough that I didn't sell you. Why don't you get out? You're already so old, do you want me to go through the trouble of selling you to a brothel?"

Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows impatiently. If she can't even do her duty to guard the yard, what's the use of having her?

The nanny's face turned green. Xiaoyu brought people forward and forcibly dragged her out, covering her mouth in the process.

Xu Yanyi looked around at the people present and said word by word: "I have said it before. When you work for me, you must be loyal and responsible. If you can't do it, get out of here. If you dare to do it again, you will end up like Nanny Li."
