After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Go back to the empress, go back to Miss Chu. I have sent people to search carefully, but I didn't find the jade pendant." Taoyao lowered her head and replied respectfully.

"No..." Chu Huanyan frowned.

"Have you searched everywhere?" Queen Wei confirmed again.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I have searched the room where Miss Chu changes her clothes and the route there, but found nothing."

Hearing Taoyao's words, Chu Huanyan's expression became even more ugly.

"Miss Chu, there is no need to worry too much. Maybe it was because the light was dim at night, something was missed, or maybe it was found by someone else. I will send someone to search carefully tomorrow, and ask the palace officials at the same time if they found it. , and sent someone to Ning'an Hou Mansion." Empress Wei comforted her.

Chu Huanyan quickly stood up and thanked Queen Wei.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival after all, and this is the palace. Since the jade pendant was not found for a while, Chu Huanyan naturally couldn't stay any longer.

After leaning down to salute and saying goodbye to Queen Wei, Chu Huanyan turned around and walked out of the palace, but her expression was obviously solemn.

After taking a few steps, he stumbled and stumbled. Fortunately, he was held by Tao Yao next to him.

"Miss Chu, be careful." Taoyao took Chu Huanyan's hand and held her steady.

Chu Huanyan quickly thanked her and admitted her mistake to Queen Wei.

"Your Majesty, please don't blame me for my momentary disobedience."

"Miss Chu, there is no need to be so nervous. Do you need me to send someone to take you out of the palace?"

"No, thank you, madam." Chu Huanyan shook her head and said.

When she left Fengyi Hall, the soft and gentle look on Queen Wei's face slowly faded. She looked at Taoyao, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before.

"found it?"

Taoyao immediately stepped forward, took out a white jade pendant from her sleeve, and handed it to Queen Wei respectfully.

"My dear, this should be it."

Queen Wei reached out to take it and looked at it carefully...

On the other side, Chu Huanyan walked out of Fengyi Palace and not far away with Xian Yue, she saw Xiao Jinzhi again.

"Your Highness has not left yet." Chu Huanyan looked around warily.

"Don't worry, there are people guarding in the dark. If anyone is watching, they will be discovered immediately." Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile.

Chu Huanyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could speak, Xiao Jinzhi spoke again.

"You want to test your mother with your parents' relics?"

Chu Huanyan frowned. How could Xiao Jinzhi know? Could it be that he had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping?

After all, Queen Wei is Xiao Jinzhi's biological mother. He is suspicious of testing her. How will Xiao Jinzhi feel about this matter?

"Your Highness, my daughter was indeed lost accidentally..."

"You found someone to imitate the sachet and jade pendant. The missing piece is probably not real." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted Chu Huanyan and looked directly into her eyes with a smile.

Chu Huanyan acted very secretly, but there is no airtight wall under the sky. She entered the palace today, tested the palace maid with a sachet, danced to attract Concubine Xue's attention, and at the same time, tested the mother of a country with a jade pendant. I have to say that she is quite courageous.

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, and the nervousness that originally appeared in her heart suddenly calmed down after meeting the other person's eyes.

Her intuition told her that Xiao Jinzhi was not her enemy, even if she tested his mother.

"What exactly does Your Highness want to do?"

"Of course I want to help you." Xiao Jinzhi said, "But you have to tell me first, what is the result of the test?"

Chu Huanyan hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then walked to a relatively hidden rock. Xiao Jinzhi also followed her.

Chu Huanyan glanced at Xian Yue behind her, who immediately handed her a small porcelain bottle.

Opening the porcelain bottle, Chu Huanyan poured the powder inside into her palm. After a while, a slight red color appeared in her palm.

"This is it?" Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.

"This is used by some shopkeepers to prevent burglars. They sprinkle colorless and odorless transparent medicinal powder on things. The skin of people who come into contact with it will look the same, but as long as another specific medicinal powder is sprinkled, the skin will It will appear red.”

The jade pendant today was held by Xianyue. After sprinkling the medicinal powder on it, she had never touched it.

When she passed Taoyao just now, she deliberately pretended to trip and touched her hand when he was helping her up.

Now that the palm of his hand is red, it can only mean that Taoyao actually found the jade pendant and even touched it, but he just lied to himself and said that he had not found it.

After hearing what Chu Huanyan said, Xiao Jinzhi's expression condensed slightly, "Taoyao has always been the queen's personal maid, and she is very trusted by the queen. Do you think it was the queen who instructed her to find the jade pendant and then hide it privately?"

Chu Huanyan did think so, but looking at Xiao Jinzhi, after hesitating for a moment, she still shook her head.

"I'm not sure about this yet. Maybe... Taoyao wants to keep the jade pendant privately, and it has nothing to do with the Queen."

Xiao Jinzhi smiled. I am afraid that even Chu Huanyan herself would find it difficult to believe this statement.

"Is the powder easy to find?"

If the queen mother discovers Chu Huanyan's temptation, things will become troublesome.

"Probably not. Only mixing specific medicinal powder will cause it to change color. People will not notice it if it sticks to your hands, and it will not have any impact on people. After washing your hands a few times, it will gradually fade. go."

She hadn't considered the risk of being discovered.

However, she was not completely sure about Concubine Xue. After finally entering the palace, she could only try her best to test.

"One more question?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan.

"Your Highness, do you want to ask why she is the Queen?" Chu Huanyan took over Xiao Jinzhi's words.

The latter nodded.

Chu Huanyan smiled, "Of course it's because she is the master of the harem and the jade pendant is lost, so it is only natural to ask her to send someone to help find it."

She had guessed before that the person who could attack her father and mother had an extraordinary status. In this palace, there was no one with more noble status than the emperor and the queen.

Of course, with just this small test, nothing can be determined.

Maybe it was just Tao Yao who kept it secretly, maybe it was just Queen Wei's curiosity, or maybe there were some other reasons for keeping this jade pendant.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan intently, and after a while, he smiled again.

"Would you like to be more certain?"

"What?" Chu Huanyan was confused.

Xiao Jinzhi said: "Since I have doubts, just testing the jade pendant is not enough. Right now, do you want to know more?"

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi doubtfully. Did he want to help her find his mother? But what does it mean right now?

Seeing Chu Huanyan's confusion, Xiao Jinzhi raised his lips and said, "Let's go, I will take you there."
