Detecting fragrance and ugly concubine

181: Master of Jade Pendant

In the past in General Yuchi's mansion, the two not only lived in the same room, but also liked to share the same bed in winter. Because Jin Ye sleeps well, she always sleeps outside, no matter how strange Yin Ye is sleeping inside. Poor, she can sleep steadily on the edge of the bed without falling off.

Jin Ye vaguely understood what was going on, and said embarrassingly, "It may be because I was dreaming, and I made you laugh."

Zhenliang smiled and said, "What kind of dream did you have, that you were hunted down and fell to the ground?"

Jin Ye didn't know whether her cheeks were flushed by Zhen Liang's words, or she looked shy because she thought about the content of the dream, and replied shyly, "I didn't chase after him. For some reason, I often have weird dreams, ahem."

Seeing Jinye's shy and embarrassed expression, both Zhenliang and Yinye silently thought that Jinye must be dreaming.

After confirming that there was no pain or abnormality in Jinye's body, Maliang and Yinye left her room together.

After Zhenliang's figure disappeared in the courtyard, and when Yinye's door was closed by her, Jinye closed his eyes in a daze.

The candle brought by Silver Leaf was still burning on the table, and it would soon be burned out.

When the light of the candle became weaker and weaker, Jin Ye fell asleep again, and there was a rustling movement under the tablecloth where the candle was placed.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhen Liang asked Jin Ye to prepare some gifts, and took Yin Ye to Kunning Palace together.

When the two arrived, the maid brought by the queen from Dalian Kingdom said that the queen hadn't woken up yet. Zhenliang and Yinye looked at each other knowingly, and then smiled and said that they don't need to wake up the queen. They are willing to wait until the queen wake up.

Zhenliang's friendly attitude touched the queen's maid so much, she went to the queen's bedroom several times quietly, and finally woke up the queen who was sleepy.

After about an hour or so, the Empress stepped into the main hall with her head bowed and ashamed, supported by a maid. Although her face was only washed and no makeup was applied, she had bright eyes and a charming posture. She was completely different from the woman she met yesterday. two people.

Zhenliang thinks of the debauched sounds he heard last night, especially the queen's bold request, and her ears turn red. It seems that a mature woman can indeed nourish her appearance, keep her youthful and charming after being nourished by a man. .

The two chatted casually for a while, and since the queen hadn't eaten breakfast, Zhenliang accompanied her to have some snacks.

Then, the queen invited Zhenliang to the lotus pond in Kunning Palace to appreciate the beauty of the remnant lotus.

The main hall is not far from the lotus pond, but as Zhenliang walked, he found that the queen's pace often lagged behind her.

Yinye secretly tugged on Zhenliang's sleeves, and signaled her to walk slowly and pay attention to etiquette with her eyes. Walking is not so slow as a snail.

Yinye beside her had a mysterious and weird smile on her face, and Zhenliang cast a questioning look at her, Yinye winked playfully at Zhenliang, then stretched out two index fingers, making a gesture of touching and knocking each other. Zhenliang looked at the action of hitting and hitting for a while, and finally understood what Yinye meant.

It's not intentional that Queen Ganqing walks so slowly, but because she was "bullied" so badly by the Queen last night?

Zhenliang was glad that she asked Yinye with her eyes, otherwise, she would have almost asked the emperor directly: Queen, is your leg injured?Why is walking so strange?

They finally walked to the lotus pond. Zhenliang saw some round gravel on the ground, so he picked some up and threw them into the lotus pond for fun.

The queen admired the coolness of a child's heart very much, and she couldn't help but also developed a desire to play, and she competed with her and threw stones.

When the two were having a great time throwing, Zhenliang first gave Yinye a wink, and then, as if because of too much force on his hands, his feet slipped and he was about to fall.

When Zhenliang looked towards her, Yinye quietly opened the distance from her tacitly, so that when Zhenliang was about to fall, she had no time to run up to help her.

Therefore, it was no different from the design, when Zhenliang fell, the jade pendant hidden in the cuff seemed to slip out naturally.

The jade pendant slid to the queen's feet impartially, Zhen Liang pretended to climb up with difficulty, and limped towards the queen's feet, as if nervous about the falling jade pendant.

"Concubine Liang, are you alright?" The frightened queen saw that Zhenliang was staring at her feet, looking concerned and anxious, and followed her gaze.

The moment she saw the jade pendant, the queen's beautiful eyes widened, and her blushing face began to turn from red to white, she dared not believe it, "This... this..."

Zhenliang didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the queen. He could pick up the jade pendant from the ground quickly, but he deliberately took a few shots slower.

Therefore, the queen picked up the jade pendant before Zhenliang.

Zhenliang and Yinye secretly glanced at each other, both of them were very excited. It seems that they were right in anticipating that the empress does have a relationship with this jade pendant.

Raising an eyebrow at Yinye, Zhenliang stood firm and stretched out his hand towards the queen, looking eager to take back the jade pendant, and said, "Thank you, empress."

Zhenliang's two fingers clamped one end of the jade pendant, but the queen clamped one end of the jade pendant with two hands, a total of four fingers, and the force she used was extremely strong. .

"Queen, what's wrong with you?" Zhenliang asked pretendingly puzzled, reminding the queen of her gaffe and abnormality.

After being reminded, the queen finally woke up. Although she was extremely embarrassed, she still reluctantly let go of the hand holding the jade pendant, looked at Zhenliang in shock and asked, "Where did the jade pendant, Concubine Liang, come from?"

Zhenliang didn't answer but instead asked, "Why is the empress so excited? Could it be that you recognize the owner of this jade pendant?"

"Master..." The queen looked at the jade pendant and uttered two words. In an instant, her beautiful eyes were filled with crystal clear tears.

Without continuing to speak, the queen stopped her mouth vigilantly, and first shunned the maids behind her.

Seeing this, Zhenliang also screened Yinye away with his eyes,

Although Yinye really wanted to hear about the whereabouts of the owner of Yupei immediately, but at the critical moment, she understood her identity and believed that Zhenliang would definitely ask all the questions she could, so she resisted the urge to stay , retreated silently, choosing to put the overall situation first.

When only the queen and Zhenliang were left by the lotus pond, the tears that had been shining for a long time in the queen's beautiful eyes poured down, wet the whole pretty face, revealing a bleak look.

Zhenliang faintly realized something, looked back at Yinye who was full of expectation, and suddenly didn't dare to ask further.

The empress wiped away the tears from her face, tried her best to suppress the urge to continue crying, and asked, "Concubine Liang hasn't answered me yet, where did this jade pendant come from?"

Zhenliang took the initiative to put the jade pendant into the Queen's hand, and asked her to take a closer look, then said with a smile, "Four years ago, Zhenqi got it from somewhere, and I liked it, so I kept it with me all the time."

The queen trembled her hands, looked at the jade pendant in her hand with nostalgic and cherished eyes, gently stroked the surface of the jade pendant with her fingers, and said half-heartedly, "To tell you the truth, the jade pendant in your hand belongs to my palace. It belongs to the elder brother of the prince who passed away."

The deceased prince brother?

Such a result was within Zhenliang's expectations, but also beyond Zhenliang's expectations. When the Queen shed sad tears, Zhenliang made the worst plan, for example, the man who owns the jade pendant is the Queen's old lover Married, disabled, or missing, but never thought that his end would be death.

Zhenliang is very glad that Yinye can't hear it at this moment, otherwise, she can't guarantee whether Yinye, who looks strong but fragile, will pass out on the spot.

The queen continued to caress the jade pendant in her hand and said, "The father of this palace is the emperor of the Great Lotus Kingdom. There are seven children in total. Each child has such a jade pendant. Except for the different patterns in the center of each jade pendant, the rest The places are almost exactly the same. When the father passed the jade pendants to us, he said that he accidentally got these seven jade pendants from a mysterious person. The mysterious person said that these seven jade pendants hide the secret of the treasure. Crack it, and you can get a huge treasure that is as rich as ten countries."

"Father said that he has studied these seven jade pendants for more than [-] years, but found nothing, so he began to wonder if the mysterious person was joking with him, but one thing is absolutely true, that is It is the person who owns each piece of jade pendant that can prolong his life and live a safe life, and the emperor told us to keep it safe and never give it away or lose it."

"My brothers and sisters kept in mind the father's instructions, and not only regarded the jade pendant as a family heirloom, but also as the father's great grace to the children. Four years ago, the prince's elder brother was ashamed to tell the father that he had accidentally lost it. When the jade pendant was lost, the father was furious and sent people to look for it everywhere. The father was afraid that the loss of the jade pendant would be an ominous sign. The elder brother of the prince didn't think so, but two years ago, the elder brother of the prince was shot to death by an assassin with a poisonous arrow, and he never woke up again. "

When the queen said this, crystal tears fell in clusters, and after a hasty wipe, the queen continued, "I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to see the jade pendant of the elder brother of the prince. Gong took the liberty to ask, can I give you the jade pendant in your hand? I can give you other priceless jade pendants, okay?"

"This..." Zhenliang looked at Yinye who was blushing in the distance, and didn't dare to make a decision for Yinye easily.

Yinye is really pitiful, her background is pitiful, her experience is even more pitiful, and now even falling in love with someone is so pitiful.

She should never have believed that the man who had haunted her in her dreams was actually dead.

However, even though the man is dead, Yinye has been attached to her for so many years, and the jade pendant has become an inseparable part of her life. Even if it is reasonable to return the jade pendant to the queen, once it is lost, how can Yinye bear it?

A man who wants to wait for a lifetime can no longer wait, and even loses the only token related to him, turning everything into ashes, how cruel is this?
