What's more, these offerings are equivalent to modern limited edition items. They are not only extremely precious, but also very rare.
The bracelet on her hand was the one Jun Zechen had received not long ago when he saw that she had beautiful hands. Thinking of the purple jadeite bracelet in his warehouse that was sent by a vassal state, he gave it to her.
Regardless of how high the quality of this jade is, the color alone is already top-notch, not to mention the kingfisher feather inlay craftsmanship on it, which is extremely complicated.
It is necessary to carefully select emerald feathers with bright colors and soft texture, decorate them on gold and silver through extremely delicate inlay techniques, and then tightly wrap them around the bracelet.
Now that I wear it on my hand, I find it pleasing to the eye.
"Master, how do you plan to investigate this case? If you find out in the end that it was the Imperial Concubine who framed An Zhaorong, will you report it truthfully?" Miaoyun asked softly.
Su Jingyao looked indifferent.
"When you are in the harem, you have to be careful every step you take. The imperial concubine made such a scene yesterday, and I am angry because Your Majesty broke his promise yesterday. If I tell Your Majesty directly that it was the imperial concubine who carefully arranged the trap, even if I present the evidence to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will inevitably suspect that I framed the imperial concubine out of jealousy."
"But if it was the Imperial Concubine's conspiracy, the master is just trying to find out the truth." Miaoyun had a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh, Miaoyun, now that we are all in the game, even Your Majesty is part of it. Does it matter what the truth is?"
The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth slightly raised with a faint smile.
"What's important is how our Emperor views it, who he thinks is the murderer, and how to investigate the case to the satisfaction of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. This is the most important thing."
"So no matter whether the imperial concubine is the real murderer or not, I will not let her be openly punished this time."
Su Jingyao's short-term goal is not to make the imperial concubine miserable, but to make Jun Zechen not care about the imperial concubine, even if he feels guilty about it.
If she told Jun Zechen and the Queen Mother, all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by the Imperial Concubine.
The Queen Mother will certainly be fair and enforce the law strictly to punish the Imperial Concubine. However, once the Imperial Concubine is punished, Jun Zechen will inevitably feel distressed.
One might even feel that the imperial concubine is isolated and helpless in the harem, and is framed and bullied by everyone.
After all, some of men's thoughts are always inexplicable.
Now that the Imperial Concubine has already started to take action, her original image of "kindness and purity" no longer exists. Su Jingyao will only make Jun Zechen more annoyed with the Imperial Concubine in the process.
She would try her best to avoid letting Jun Zechen feel even the slightest bit of guilt and pity towards her.
When she investigated this case, it was not important whether the truth came out or not. What was important was to let Jun Zechen know clearly that it was the imperial concubine who had carefully planned and framed others.
Su Jingyao will stand firmly on Jun Zechen's side, do her utmost to protect the imperial concubine, try her best to help the imperial concubine, and give the imperial concubine the dignity she deserves.
"Master, An Zhaorong is outside asking to see you." Miaoxia walked in lightly and reported respectfully.
"No, let her go back."
Su Jingyao frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and her tone was a little cold.
She had just accepted the important trust from the Queen Mother and His Majesty. An Zhaorong came here at this time. Could it be that she was blatantly trying to bribe her?
idiot.
Miaoxia just turned around and prepared to leave when Su Jingyao suddenly spoke.
"Come back and tell An Zhaorong that I will handle this impartially."
When Su Jingyao said this, she even deliberately emphasized the tone of the word "impartial".
Miaoxia naturally understood the meaning of her master's words, nodded quickly, and then quietly retreated.
The reason why Su Jingyao said this was that she was worried that An Zhaorong would lose her temper.
After all, Jun Zechen did intend to use her as a scapegoat, so it was understandable that An Zhaorong was so anxious.
Letting Miaoxia tell An Zhaorong that she would handle the matter impartially was also to make An Zhaorong feel at ease.
Su Jingyao unconsciously turned the bracelet on her hand again, her brows slightly furrowed, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
But there must be a scapegoat for this matter. An Zhaorong is still useful, and she is not going to let An Zhaorong be deposed just like that.
So who should be the scapegoat?
