BXBX NOVEL Chapter 569 - The origin of jade pendant
Dongfang Mu was so excited that he couldn’t sit still in excitement. After waiting for so many days, that magistrate finally arrived.
After a while, Cang Shuhang was led by the eunuch into the imperial study room. After he knelt and paid respect, the Emperor finally put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the man kneeling in front of him, and calmly said: “Speak!”
“Answering back to his majesty, this jade pendant was given to this small official by He Ming, a senior provincial government official. After a secret investigation, this jade pendant was given to He Ming by his subordinate. This subordinate is from Qingyuan Town. He said that someone brought the jade pendant to the pawnshop in Qingyuan Town.”
“Who did it?” Dongfang Mu asked.
Cang Shuhang didn’t know Dongfang Mu, but he thought that the people, who could sit in the imperial study room can’t be ordinary, so he immediately replied: “It is said that they are two brothers who live in a mountain village.”
“Can you still find it?” Dongfang Mu asked.
Cang Shuhang nodded: “Yes, I can find it.”
Dongfang Mu wanted to fly to where those two brothers and ask them questions to understand this matter.
But he thought of Dongfang Wan again, her illness was getting worse. He’s afraid that she’s running out of time. He couldn’t leave her this time, so he said to the Emperor: “Emperor, I promised Wan’er that I will take her back to Qiyun Mountain. If it isn’t too much, I’ll bother you to send someone to check this out. No matter what the result is, send a letter to Qinyun Mountain.”
The Emperor nodded his head: “It’s fine, you should accompany Wan’er. I’ll send a doctor that you could take back in Qiyun Mountain so that there will be someone to take care of her.”
Dongfang Mu waved his hand, “It’s not necessary. If the Imperial Doctor can cure Wan’er, do we have to wait until today?”
The Emperor sighed and didn’t say another word. No matter what he says, it will be useless. Nothing will change, it is a fact.
He asked: “What if the child is still alive?”
Dongfang Mu replied: “If the child is still alive, she should be pick up as soon as possible.”
“Who will pick her up, you or Pei Qinghan?” The Emperor asked.
Dongfang Mu thought for a while and said, “Who will the child belong to? We must first know how the child was lost. Why did he lose her? He said the child was dead. If this matter is related to Pei Qinghan, not only the child will not be given to him, but I, Dongfang Mu will never let him go. ”
Cang Shuhang’s heart, who was kneeling on the floor, kept trembling. It turned out to be that he was Dongfang Mu, the private tutor of Prince Jin. He was also a close friend of the Emperor. Although he has been hiding for many years, he was still very influential in the imperial court.
That time, the Emperor sent the young Prince Jin to Qiyun Mountain to study martial arts. It was a selfish decision. If that incident didn’t happen 3 years ago, Prince Jin should have been very powerful by now!
What do they mean by those things? Why do they keep mentioning this jade pendant? Who is the child they talking about?
After Dongfang Mu left, the Emperor’s eyes fell on Cang Shuhang again: “No matter what you hear in this hall today, you should know, what can be said outside, and what should rot in your stomach. Don’t forget that your mouth can be the door of your misfortune, and your tongue can be the road to losing your head.”
“This small official will remember!” Cang Shuhang was shocked and covered with cold sweat. Who keeps questioning about this matter? And then they will threaten him again and again… …
“Alright, you step back first. I will send someone to look for you. You should send someone to secretly check this matter. Don’t mention this to anyone else.”
Cang Shuhang repeatedly nodded his head, kowtowed, and then left the imperial study room.
