"The Pei family... the emperor, the queen... they all have only one connection behind them..."
Yang Qinwu didn't quite understand.
How is it related to the Pei family again?
It was not surprising that he didn't know that the Pei family was on the side of the deposed prince. After all, the Pei family had always been very secretive in doing things.
Li Qingluo: "How did you get this jade pendant? Also, how can you be sure that it was the Queen who wanted to silence the witnesses? Could it be that Princess Qinyu planted someone in the palace to do this?"
Nan Jia was kidnapped together with himself by the Pei family this time. Li Qingluo heard what the two people who were killed by butterflies in the dungeon that day said, and he knew that it was an important person who gave this order to the Pei family.
Who is this noble person, and who wants to kill Pan Li?
Obviously, it must be related to this matter.
Yang Qinwu: "I told you last time that a colleague of mine who I'm close to happened to be on duty outside Zhaohua Palace that night. He was the one who found this jade pendant."
"Our Imperial Guard is directly under His Majesty's command. Normally, we only follow His Majesty's orders, so nothing will happen easily. But seeing those palace servants disappear or die one after another, he may have sensed something, and he has been feeling uneasy for quite some time."
"I was concerned about this matter, so I watched him day and night, and that's when I noticed his abnormality."
"Just a few days ago, he was led into a palace owned by a promised queen. Strangely, there was no one guarding the palace that day."
"If I hadn't tracked him and caught him, he might have followed that strange scent and broken into the Queen's bedroom."
"That promised lady wasn't usually favored. I went back and inquired about it and found out that she was bathing at the time. So if my colleague had really barged in, I'm afraid both he and the promised lady would have been doomed."
In order to kill a guard, you also get rid of a concubine?
It's really too much to spend!
Maybe it's a two-birds-with-one-stone approach?
"When we returned to the dormitory, we found that his things had been searched through."
"My colleague then realized the danger and took out the jade pendant."
"He said he found the jade pendant in a patch of grass by the lake, right near where Miss Pan fell into the water that night."
"Just then, we found another senior palace maid who passed by the lake that night but was not on duty. She was close to the virtuous concubine, and perhaps that was why she escaped."
"She and I are from the same hometown. Knowing we were secretly searching for clues about that night, she came to us and said she had passed by the lake from afar that night and vaguely heard the noble ladies arguing about a jade pendant."
"She turned her head and saw Miss Pan holding a small white object in her hand."
"But she doesn't know any more."
Li Qingluo picked up the jade pendant. Isn’t this the little white thing?
Yang Qinwu: "As for discovering that it was the Empress who did it, that's a very easy task for us Imperial Guards. We should pay a little attention and investigate who the missing palace maids had contact with before they disappeared or got into trouble."
"There aren't so many coincidences in this world, right? They all happen to be related to Fengqi Palace, right?"
Li Qingluo had to admit that Yang Qinwu was quite capable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to chop off Li Kechuan's leg so neatly and escape with a clean escape.
Li Qingluo looked at Yang Qinwu again: "Do you know who this jade pendant belongs to?"
Yang Qinwu shook his head. "That's what I haven't found yet. Actually... it's not impossible, but if I continue investigating, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
Li Qingluo didn't make things difficult for him and let him leave.
"Go, ask Mei Shuang to treat him to a hot pot meal with the best wine and food, and don't charge."
After instructing Que'er, Li Qingluo took the jade pendant and observed it himself.
Could this thing belong to Princess Qinyu?
Ask His Royal Highness Prince Su, maybe you will know!
Once this thought popped up in Li Qingluo's mind, he couldn't hold it back.
It's time to return those shoes to him.
Also, he doesn’t know what’s happening to him now…
Li Qingluo stuffed the jade pendant into his arms and asked someone to call Wu Quan over.
"Please take a letter to Guiyuan for me."
On the way home, Madam Zheng jumped onto the carriage and said, "Miss, you asked me to investigate Liu Qingzhu's matter, and I have found out."
Li Qingluo was taking a nap, but he immediately opened his eyes when he heard the news.
Nan Jia originally wanted to tell her, but Li Qingluo suddenly had to go out, so before leaving, she asked Nanny Zheng to quickly check what was going on.
I didn't expect to receive a reply so soon.
Madam Zheng said excitedly, "Miss, Liu Qingzhu has been kicked out of Prince Yun's Mansion!"
