Chapter 911: Chapter 905: Where Did the Jade Pendant Come From?

The Empress also laughed and said, "Of course, of course, you’re a merchant, we can’t let you suffer a loss. You’ve been wronged by today’s incidents at the palace and even witnessed quite a farce, which is truly... Ah, right, even though you bought that Jade Pendant with your own silver, holding onto it is really inappropriate. Youyou, why don’t I make a decision to buy that Jade Pendant from you with a thousand pieces of gold?"

Speaking honestly, Gu Youyou felt suddenly touched by the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Although she couldn’t be sure about the Emperor’s thoughts, the actions of the Empress Dowager and the Empress did indeed give her enough face.

Not to mention a torn dress or a lost Jade Pendant, such matters of the Imperial Family, where could one find any logic?

They could forcefully seize yours and even pin a false charge of theft on you.

One offered to compensate for her dress and the other offered a thousand gold for her Jade Pendant; she really didn’t know what to say.

Of course, Gu Youyou was well aware that the Empress Dowager was acting this way because she remembered that Gu Youyou had once treated her leg.

The Empress was also trying to embarrass Jin Fengzhao.

She was confined to Zongrenfu, yet Gu Youyou was treated thus by the Empress Dowager and the Empress; didn’t this imply she, the Princess, was less important than a common girl?

Gu Youyou shivered and said, "There’s no need, the Jade Pendant isn’t expensive, I only spent ten pieces of silver..."

"Where exactly did it come from?"

Before Gu Youyou could finish speaking, the Emperor, who had been silent for a long while, spoke.

And it wasn’t with the faint tone from before but with a sudden loud rebuke that intimidated everyone in the room.

Gu Youyou knew the Emperor was not so easily deceived, but she hadn’t expected such a fierce explosion of anger.

She sensed something ominous.

"I don’t understand what the Emperor means, the Jade Pendant was indeed bought by me from the Boater for ten pieces of silver."

"Being stubborn?" The Emperor gave a faint smile, which made Gu Youyou a bit dazed.

He resembled Jin Zijin so much when he smiled like that.

The Emperor looked at the woman standing before him, poised and calm in her response, and gently raised his hand.

Behind him, Wan Decheng saw this and immediately whispered to the Eunuch beside him.

The Eunuch nodded, ducked his head, and quickly walked out.

Gu Youyou felt a chill in her heart; she had clearly heard what Eunuch Wan had said.

Now the Empress Dowager seemed to realize something; the trouble Gu Youyou was in wasn’t because Jin Fengzhao was coveting her dress, but also... the Jade Pendant in the Emperor’s hand.

What exactly was this Jade Pendant?

"Your Majesty, that Jade Pendant..."

The Emperor, very respectful towards the Empress Dowager, softly said, "Mother, this Jade Pendant is the Qingluan Jade Pendant that I had given to Qinqin in the past."

Hiss...

The Empress Dowager inhaled sharply.

So it was that Jade Pendant?

Although she had never seen it, she had heard of it.

But how did the Jade Pendant end up in Gu Youyou’s hands?

Gu Youyou had just said that she bought it from the Boater, but from the looks of it, the Emperor didn’t believe her?

The Empress stared at the Jade Pendant in the Emperor’s hand, then back at Gu Youyou, extremely anxious.

Gu Youyou managed to enter the palace, largely because of her (the Empress’s) relationship. And since Gu Youyou was considered one of the Lin Family, her people, she naturally did not wish any harm to befall them.

It’s very possible that this Jade Pendant was lost to the Boater during the time Xiao Qinqin was pursued and fled to Lingnan.

This incident was a secret she must not disclose, she knew well, and so did the Emperor, but she couldn’t mention it out loud.
