The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 234 Lotus Hairpin

at the same time.

Outside the gates of the Regent's Palace.

When King An was rejected, there was such a slight change on his face, and then he nodded to Night Breeze, and said with a gentle smile, "Then I won't bother you much."

Night Breeze bowed his hands expressionlessly.

Watching King An get into the carriage, Night Breeze also entered the mansion. After returning to Minghuaxuan, he bumped into the princess who came out of the house.

"Princess." Night Breeze clasped his hands together.

Seeing Night Breeze, Lin Jiaojiao stopped and wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

After slightly nodding his head, he left Minghuaxuan.

The first thing Lin Jiaojiao did when she returned to Shuanghuaju was to write a letter. She hadn't seen Wang An well in the past two days, but she couldn't let Wang An feel cold.

After writing down the eight big characters, she dried them and put them in an envelope. She called Xuemei in, and after giving instructions, Xuemei left Shuanghuaju.

After dealing with King An's matter, Lin Jiaojiao called Eleven in.

"princess."

"Eleventh, I want you to go to the Zhenan Department to check again and see if you can find anything unusual."

She always felt that the lotus had something to do with Zhang Dahu's wife, and when she looked for Zhang Dahu's body, the Lin'an government office said it had been sent to the Zhen'an Department, but the Zhen'an Department said it hadn't sent it, and then the Lin'an government office was destroyed.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
"Yes." Eleven agreed.

Lin Jiaojiao continued: "Secretly investigate, don't startle the snake."

She didn't know whether the Zhen'an Department was lying or the Lin'an government was lying, but the Zhen'an Department and the Ministry of Industry were closer.

Maybe if we find out the truth about Zhang Dahu, we can find out who slaughtered the Lin'an government office.

"Yes."

……

Xuemei came back an hour later, trotting in, holding a large delicate box in her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao knew that Xuemei had met King An, and took back "Ning Yuan Tie".

So he asked, "How is it?"

Xuemei put down the box and said: "This servant saw His Highness King An, and His Highness Wang An didn't see any special reaction after reading the letter from the empress, but he said he understood."

As for what the original words were, Xuemei couldn't tell, anyway, that's what she meant.

Then he thought of something, and said again: "His Royal Highness Wang An also said to wait for the good news."

"Well, well done." Lin Jiaojiao boasted casually.

Xuemei's face brightened, and she continued: "Your Majesty, when the servant came back, he bumped into the Eldest Young Master. He asked the servant about your recent situation, and asked the servant to give you this."

As she said that, Xuemei took out a long brocade box from her cuff, with dark patterns on the red background, it looked very small and delicate.

Lin Jiaojiao reached out to take the brocade box, opened it, and found a small hairpin lying on the soft golden cloth inside.

On the top of the hairpin is a blooming lotus, which looks very real. It is made of grass. The petals of the lotus are soft in texture and elegant in color, which is really comparable to real flowers.

Seeing that Lin Jiaojiao likes it, Xuemei smiled and said: "Young Master said that he bought it long ago, but he is busy recently and has no time to come to see your empress. Just happened to see this servant, so I asked my servant to bring it back to your empress."

Lin Jiaojiao, who was originally happy, paused suddenly after hearing this, and then asked, "How did you meet Big Brother when you went to Prince An's Mansion?"

That road is separated from the imperial palace to the Lin family by a royal street.

Xuemei scratched the back of her neck with some embarrassment, and said: "My servant went to have some tea and listened to the book for a while. When I left, this servant asked your mother about you."

"Oh, I just forgot." She put the hairpin in her hand back into the box, handed it to Xuemei and said, "Leave it here, bring it to me tomorrow."

As she spoke, she coughed lightly, and her throat was a little itchy.

She has to go back to see her big brother some other day.

I remember that when I was in the Lin Mansion, my eldest brother would bring her something bought outside every time he came back from court.

Because at that time she had to ask Mrs. Chen for instructions if she wanted to leave the mansion, and Mrs. Shen was not happy, so she couldn't leave the mansion for several months.
