Fang Jinlan didn't have time to care and immediately ran back to the house.
"Second Miss." The palace maid serving at the door saw her coming and was about to bow, but she saw Fang Jinlan had already pushed open the door and ran into the room.
With a 'click' sound, the door slammed shut.
The palace maid held the tray and touched her nose hard.
Murmuring: "Has the Second Miss lost her soul?"
Fang Jinlan really couldn't take care of it.
After returning to the house, he turned it upside down.
Dressing table, jewelry box, and eight-treasure cabinet. Fang Jinlan searched the house from top to bottom, but couldn't find even the trace of the earrings. ''
"Where on earth did it fall?" The room was in a mess. Fang Jinlan sat in the middle of the room, but her heart sank to the bottom.
She had burned the entire dress she had worn yesterday, including her shoes and socks.
The pearl earring was not inside.
Now I have searched the whole house, but I still can't find the earrings.
There is only one possibility, the earring fell at the entrance of Hehuan Palace.
Fang Jinlan sat in the chair, thinking carefully.
She was so flustered yesterday that she didn't even know when the earring fell off.
But the thing is not in the Yikun Palace, and the most likely possibility is that it fell at the gate of the Hehuan Palace.
After thinking about it, it might have fallen off during the argument with Shiso.
Fang Jinlan lowered her head and looked at her palm.
The pearl earring was clenched in the palm of her hand, and a bloody mark was left by the force.
If the earring fell at the entrance of Hehuan Palace, it might be found by someone.
Then the other person would have the possibility to find me through these pearl earrings.
As long as the accusation of murdering Shisu was found on her, she would not be able to deny it even if she wanted to.
When the time comes, how will Concubine Zhao deal with me?
Thinking of this, Fang Jinlan's palms were shaking violently as she held the earrings.
"No!"
She exerted force and threw the earrings away.
She absolutely, absolutely must not be found.
"I, Fang Jinlan, entered the palace to become a superior person." Fang Jinlan sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
She absolutely would not be defeated by such a small matter!
Fang Jinlan said this, lowering her head and looking carefully at her palm.
A silver needle is inserted into the thumb-sized pearl.
There is nothing else.

"This earring is so simple in style, I'm afraid there are many of them in the entire palace."
"It's not surprising that there are pearls hanging on it." The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs held a pearl earring and examined it carefully.
"The workmanship is not fine enough, and the quality of the pearls is not good enough. Even if there are not a thousand of these in the palace, there are at least a few pairs."
"My lady, why are you asking this?"
The eunuch in charge said this as he placed the earrings in his hand on a tray beside him, bent over and asked respectfully.
Chen Fu didn't reply to him. She opened the teacup and took a sip.
"Father-in-law, what you mean is that I can't find the lover with just this earring?"
The eunuch in charge, Zhou Fuhai, felt a pang in his heart.
The affairs of Concubine Zhao are the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Concubine Zhao is in charge of the harem. If she wants something, she can get it.
Zhou Fuhai's heart skipped a beat, and he bent down even further:
"My lady, if the owner of this thing sends someone to look for it, they will surely find the owner slowly."
"But this earring is too common. I'm afraid that even if I find the person based on this earring alone, I may not be able to find him."
After Zhou Fuhai finished speaking, he let the sweat drip down his forehead, not daring to reach out to wipe it off.
Chen Fu's face darkened slightly, and she glanced at the things on the tray, knowing that what the eunuch said was true.
She had seen this earring before, and it was nothing special.
A pair of not-so-delicate pearls and simple earrings.
In the entire palace, including the ladies and servants, there must be more than a dozen such pearl earrings.
Trying to find the person behind something just by relying on this pearl earring is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I know this is difficult." Chen Fu held the teacup and took a sip.
"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't have asked you to come here."
Zhou Fuhai was the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. Nothing in the palace, big or small, escaped his eyes.
As long as the pearl earrings came from the Imperial Household Department, Zhou Fuhai would have a way to find them.
This is also the reason why Shen Fu sent someone to call Zhou Fuhai over.
"My Lady." Zhou Fuhai raised his head and looked at Chen Fu, took a deep breath, and then replied tremblingly: "Then let me think of a solution?"
"See if you can find the person who bought this earring."
"My lord, you are too modest." Shen Fu used both kindness and force, put down the teacup, and gave a look.
Xiao Guizi came forward holding a tray from behind.
Shen Fu held the handrail and walked up in person. The red silk was lifted, and a row of gold ingots were placed on a tray in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Zhou Fuhai pointed at the tray of gold ingots and was speechless.
Chen Fu always had a slight smile on her face, pointing to the pearl earrings: "I will not let you work for nothing, eunuch."
"As long as you help me find the person I need, I will reward you handsomely in the future!"
When Zhou Fuhai entered the Hehuan Hall, he found nothing. But when he came out of the Hall, he found a plate of gold ingots.
He looked at the rewards and couldn't help feeling worried.
I couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Empress Zhao has given me a big problem."
"Eunuch, why are you still worried?" The young eunuch holding a tray beside him was puzzled.
"Empress Zhao gave you such a huge reward, why don't you seem happy?" The eunuch held up the tray in his hand and pointed, "This is such a big tray of gold ingots, I'm afraid it must be worth more than 100 taels."
No one in the palace had ever seen a concubine reward her servants so generously.
A large tray of gold ingots is more than they can earn even if they don't eat or drink for several lifetimes.
"What do you know?" Zhou Fuhai kicked the little eunuch on the leg.
I feel powerless, but also discouraged.
His eyes fell on the large plate of gold ingots, and the sorrow on Zhou Fuhai's face eased a little: "Do you think Empress Zhao was rewarded for nothing?"
Thinking of what Concubine Zhao said, Zhou Fuhai clenched the thing in his hand.
If he took the money but didn't do the job, Concubine Zhao would probably just say a word to get him removed from his position.
"This gold is good, but you have to be alive to get it."
Zhou Fuhai spat, clenched the thing in his hand, and walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Xiao Guizi stood at the door, waiting until Zhou Fuhai's figure completely disappeared, and then went back to report to Chen Fu.
"Madam, are you so confident in handing it over to Zhou Fuhai?"
Chen Fu was leaning over a low table painting. She didn't even raise her head when she heard this: "Don't doubt others, and don't doubt others."
What's more, Chen Fu is now in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhou Fuhai has to listen to her in everything.
Shen Fu naturally doesn't have to worry.
"I just think it's too risky for you to hand over everything to Zhou Fuhai." Xiao Guizi knew that Shen Fu did this just to find out who was behind the murder of Zi Su.
