Chapter 1672: Finding the Jade Pendant

ticed the awkwardness between them. As soon as it entered its own courtyard, it swayed and walked to its comfortable seat, lying there motionless.Ning'er pursed her lips, and the two fell silent, the...Xizi Pander clenched her fists tightly, so hard that her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel the pain.

She only knew that Xizi Ke'er was mocking her in the posture of a victor, her eyes seemed to say: You will never win against me in your lifetime.

What's most infuriating is, regardless of what look Xizi Keer used, and what it means now

She had no way to kill her. Today's events were indeed caused by the male pet she raised, and her mother must have known about her protecting the male pet a long time ago. So today, she could only grit her teeth and swallow it.

The empress, after beating Xizi and Panger, immediately ordered the soldiers beside her to drag them away.

She gritted her teeth, "Confine Princess Pàn back to the estate and put her under house arrest for three months."

After she finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Xizi P'er who was still kneeling on the ground. She flicked her sleeves and turned away.

As soon as the Queen's figure disappeared completely behind the city walls, the soldiers standing beside Xizi Ke'er hurried over and helped her up.

Xizi Ke'er looked thoughtfully down at the commoners outside the palace, a barely perceptible smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Before entering the palace, she had thought that her mother would definitely not let her off easily today.

Over these days, he has been trying his best not to make any mistakes.

Even if the Empress Dowager wanted to take back her military power and confine her, she couldn't find any excuse.

So today I finally had a chance, of course Mother wouldn't let it slip away.

Because she had guessed the empress dowager's actions, she had her trusted confidante spread the word in the city before entering the palace.

Let the people know that she will be punished today for putting that vile male pet to death.

The people were already satisfied, heartened, and vindicated by her actions today.

In the city, everyone wishes for that tyrannical, heartless beast to die.

So, in the eyes of the common people, her actions today are just. As long as someone takes the lead, these commoners will not stand idly by and watch her suffer an unjust punishment for this matter.

Her confidants deliberately led the people to spontaneously come to the palace gates to plead for her. Her mother, moreover, was a person who highly valued public opinion.

Without a compelling reason to press the matter, of course he wouldn't continue to trouble her, nor would he blatantly harm her.

Xizi Ke'er sneered in her heart, then walked straight down the city wall and out of the palace.

Her confidantes immediately crowded around, only to hear her lower her voice and say a few words to the people beside her. The few people immediately nodded.

then quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Soon, the crowd gathered outside the palace, all beamed with satisfaction and dispersed.

At this point, they had learned that Xizi Ke'er was safe. Not only had she not been punished, but Xizi Pan'er, who had previously sheltered the male consort, had also been confined by the empress.

At this moment, it felt as if justice had been served. A smile involuntarily appeared on each of their faces.

Xi Zi Ke'er walked out of the palace and turned to look at the palace gate. Her deep eyes were thoughtful.

After today's events, her mother-in-law will find it even harder to tolerate her.

It seems her actions need to be expedited. It's time to send a letter to the Princess of Beijang.

……

Meanwhile, somewhere in Xiliang.

Han Yun was sitting in an inn at that moment, one hand clenched into a fist, the other holding a special jade pendant.

Kneeling before him was the pawnbroker.

At this moment, the pawnshop owner's face was full of horror, and his whole body trembled.

He hung his head, feeling deeply wronged, because the jade pendant in the man's hand wasn't stolen by him. Someone had pawned it at his shop.

But, the pawnbroker that day did not remember him because he had worn a straw hat.

The hat nearly covered the man's whole face. At that moment, he only thought that such a well-crafted jade pendant, given the man's attire, was most likely stolen.

He, at his pawn shop, never asked about origins. He only felt that the jade pendant had excellent color and the man was in urgent need of cash. He tentatively offered a low price, and the man didn't refute it.

So, at the time it was a cash-for-goods deal. He wished the man would take his money and leave as soon as possible so that he wouldn't realize how valuable the jade pendant actually was and ask for an exorbitant price.

And after he got the jade pendant, he wouldn't even notice where that man had come from or where he was going.

He only knew this jade pendant was a death knell, and that man was absolutely impossible to take it back.

After giving him the silver, he paid no further attention to or concern for where the man went or who he was.

After obtaining this jade pendant, he hastily tried to sell it to the wealthy children in town.

After all, such a well-crafted jade pendant, even the royal family members probably don't have it, so he can definitely sell it for an excellent price.

But who would have thought, the jade pendant was only taken out for a short time, and before a buyer was found, something major happened.

He had planned to release the news and have several wealthy young men in town bid on it, whoever offered the highest price would get it.

He, on the other hand, made the jade pendant quite mysterious, attracting a lot of attention and curious glances.

Many people wanted to buy the jade pendant and offered high prices. Who knew that before he could even sell it, this seemingly terrifying man had snatched it up.

The shopkeeper had already explained it once, but apparently the man didn't believe him. After listening, he remained silent and the shopkeeper didn't know what to do next.

At this moment, the man finally shifted his gaze from the jade pendant. His delicate features were as flawless as frost and snow, like an immortal who had never been touched by worldly affairs. He exuded an air of nobility and arrogance.

However, the expression on his face was ghastly and terrifying, as if reflected by the firelight, like a hellish demon.

Those obsidian eyes, radiating a chillingly cold glint that pierced the very soul, were enough to send shivers down his spine and make him tremble in fear.

Han Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, a fleeting trace of killing intent flashing across his eyes. He stared fixedly at the shopkeeper before him.

The shopkeeper trembled violently. Every time the man looked at him, he instinctively held his breath, not daring to move. All he could hear was his heart beating wildly and painfully, as if it were about to shatter. His body stiffened, completely unyielding, shaking uncontrollably like stuffed with straw.

Han Yun saw him like this, his eyes deepened a bit. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand, it was the jade pendant of Qingyun Pavilion, and it had been in Mo Yunjing's hands before.

This jade pendant appearing here means Mo Yunjing is most likely nearby, so he must find out who took the jade pendant.

Moments later, his gaze fixed on the person before him, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. "Shopkeeper," he said, "think carefully."

His voice was a little hoarse, his icy tone as if shrouded in mist, cold as millennia of frost.self and underestimating their prince's power.……Mo Yunjing and Shi Si arrived at Mo Yunze's mansion in a short while. They found Zhao Li's courtyard almost effortlessly without much effort.There are m...
