Chapter 49: Jade Pendant
"Is it useless?" Xiao Ruoying squinted her eyes and carefully examined the deep meaning of these words, and continued to probe: "So what great benefits does that jade pendant bring to His Highness?" Even I, the dust princess, have become useless pawns? ”
Ye Chengkun's eyes darkened, as if he was deliberately hiding something: "This king is just too lazy to play these boring games with you, as for the thing you said, this king has already thrown it away." ”
No, he must still be kept!
Almost instantly, this thought occurred in Xiao Ruoying's mind, she stepped forward to cause psychological pressure on the other party, and even her voice was deliberately lowered: "Your Highness, are you joking with me?" I saw His Highness playing with it that day. ”
A flash of murderous intent quickly flashed on Ye Chengkun's face, almost instinctively: "You dare to follow this king?" ”
Trace? This kind of nature made Xiao Ruoying sensitive to a touch of abnormality.
Could it be that this man carried his things with him?
This thought made her stunned and a little frightened at the same time, according to Qing'er, the jade pendant was just a relic of her mother's relatives, what could be important, no, it should be said that for everyone else except herself, it was just an object.
How can this man be so excited about a small jade pendant?
Xiao Ruoying's face was cold, and he probably used his gaze to move away from him, and the latter really pulled some arms unnaturally, which was a subconscious defensive action.
At this moment, Xiao Ruoying had already confirmed her conjecture.
Ye Chengkun took a breath, and seemed to realize that his reaction just now was a little excessive, and his eyes implied a warning and his voice became colder and colder: "This king said that if there is no, it is not, Xiao Ruoying, if you know each other, don't get involved in this, otherwise even if you have the protection of the dust king, I am afraid you will not end up well." ”
He said that and turned to leave.
Xiao Ruoying looked at his departing back, and her eyes darkened a little.
What did he mean by what he just said, mixed into this? Where?
Won't it end well? Is this a threat to him? Threatens to kill him again if he pesters him again, or ...... And others are not good for themselves? If it is someone else, who is that person, and whose interests are involved?
Her hanging fists clenched slightly, thinking that it was just a thought, but now it seemed that she was thinking too simply.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Qing'er, how much do you remember about your mother's family?"
"Ma'am?" Qing'er thought carefully: "At the beginning, Qing'er was only six or seven years old, and there were not many things that could be remembered, but I only knew that of course Mrs. married into the mansion for more than a year, and Baifu was named 'Great Rebellion'. ”
Qing'er sighed: "No wonder Madam is sad, our house was also a famous family in the capital back then, and it was valued by the emperor, but ...... After all, isn't this the reason why Miss has not been favored by the master in Xiao Mansion all these years? ”
"Great rebellion?" Xiao Ruoying twisted her eyebrows: "What kind of rebellious thing is it that will be raided and destroyed?" ”
"This Qing'er doesn't know very well, and the outside only says that this matter is caused by the fact that Master Bai Shangjian's matter involves the royal family and his words are arrogant, specifically...... Because it is a royal matter that cannot be said, there is no clear statement in the end, this matter was done during the reign of the emperor, and our majesty has already turned over the previous accounts after ascending the throne, and it is even more difficult to find the cause. Qing'er sighed as if she was sorry for the Bai Mansion back then, and then wondered: "Why did Miss suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
"Nothing."
She just thought that no matter how good her mother and daughter were, she should have such a ability to influence the two dynasties, if there was a problem with that jade pendant, it would be related to her mother's family, and now it seems that this is really the case.
"That's it, it's an old thing, and it's not something that can be understood clearly for a while." Xiao Ruoying shook her head, raised her feet and walked in the direction of the tent: "I'm tired, let's go back first." ”
In Xiao Ruoying's opinion, all this is a mess of threads, if you want to find the jade pendant at the end of the thread, it must be the only opportunity, no matter what, it is the most important thing to get things back now.
In fact, what she said to Ye Jinchen that day was to steal the jade pendant, and the man also said that he wanted to go with him, but now it seems that there is no need, if Ye Chengfan really brought things with him, then it would be easier to do anything here than in the palace of the capital.
But if he wears it on his body every day, it is not easy to do it himself, and he still has to find a timely opportunity in the end.
The opportunity is something to wait, Xiao Ruoying is very patient with this, she should eat and play in the remaining days, Fengya often asks her to go over and sit, and after a long time, she is familiar with the two children.
Although the two children are not brothers and sisters, and their temperaments are also very different, they look very similar, compared to the little prince Xiao Ruoying, she feels that Fengya cherishes Hui'er more.
The atmosphere of the hunting ground is not bad, from the first day to today, there are five days, the emperor is very interested, almost every day, even if he does not go hunting, he has to sit in the front wall to watch, Xiao Ruoying will sit here when he has nothing to do.
The autumn climate here is pleasant, and Qing'er helped her make a sachet to repel mosquitoes early and wear it with her, although there are more mosquitoes.
On the afternoon of this day, Xiao Ruoying was sitting in the front wall while watching the equestrian skills of those noble sons drinking tea, and the two children had just begged for snacks from her and went out, and Ye Jinchen came back.
"This king didn't think you liked children much before, but now I don't feel disobedient when I see you surrounded by children."
Xiao Ruoying glanced at him, pursed her lips and replied to his words: "I'm not the same as you, His Royal Highness the Dust King has a gloomy face all day long, no matter how good. The child with a temperament is probably scared back by your stinky face. ”
Ye Jinchen laughed helplessly and shook his head: "I'm just joking casually, you really don't let people say a word." ”
He is a prince anyway, and this woman really doesn't give any face.
The man held his cheek in one hand and shook the teacup in his palm: "Are you done?" ”
"It's just a little thing, just leave it to the Thunder and them to do."
"Tsk, it's really hard to be your subordinate, you have to take care of everything."
"It's their job." Ye Jinchen didn't say anything about his conscience, but then he noticed the expressions of the people around him, and raised his eyebrows: "It's you, it seems to be boring, if you don't like it, you can go back to the camp to rest." ”
"It's not boring, it's okay." Xiao Ruoying took a sip of tea, her eyes never came down from the racecourse, as if she was observing something.
