Hao Yun was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a Forbidden City.

Just at this moment, Grandpa Songzi was peeking at the door like a curious squirrel.

Oh, there is always a way out.

It was like finding a life-saving straw.

He quickly stepped back to the door, grabbed Grandpa Songzi's sleeve, and asked in a low voice.

"Matsuko, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Songzi had a mysterious look on his face and leaned close to his ear as if he was telling him palace secrets.

"Eunuch Hao, do you know that the Minister of Rites has a jade pendant that can transfer pain?"

Hao Yun almost vomited blood. Songzi usually looked quite smart, but why did he say nonsense at the critical moment? This was a secret that could cost him his life!

He really wanted to give Grandpa Songzi a set of "Give Me Back My Beauty Fist".

However, at this moment he had no time to teach this "unreliable" guy a lesson. The most urgent task was to report this important news to His Majesty.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then tiptoed back to Emperor Yun Yi, carefully leaned close to his ear, and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report, regarding the pain-transferring jade pendant on the hand of the Minister of Rites..."

Yun Yi was slightly startled, then he revealed a playful smile.

"Oh? Are you talking about the legendary jade pendant? It is said that the old emperor of Ling State regained his health with it?"

Hao Yun nodded and nervously observed Emperor Yun Yi's reaction.

Emperor Yun Yi pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, this jade pendant is quite interesting. Pass on my order and ask the Minister of Rites, Mr. Zhou, to come to the throne immediately!"

Hao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt lucky that His Majesty did not get angry.

However, once the matter of this jade pendant is leaked, it will probably cause a huge uproar.

After a while, Lord Zhou, the Minister of Rites, rolled into the hall like a rolling ball of meat, without even having time to straighten his court robes.

As soon as he saw Emperor Yun Yi, the wrinkles on his face instantly blossomed like a blooming chrysanthemum. He knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live the emperor! May your majesty be healthy and live a long and happy life!"

Emperor Yun Yi sat on the dragon throne with his hands crossed and a smile on his lips, staring at Lord Zhou like an old fox.

He had long been itching to find out the truth about the legendary jade pendant that could transfer illnesses, but as an emperor, he knew very well that such matters could not be rushed and he had to let Lord Zhou reveal his true colors first.

"Lord Zhou, why are you in such a hurry today? Is there something important you want to tell me?"

Emperor Yun Yi asked, pretending to be calm.

When Lord Zhou heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was not good.

He raised his head quickly and said with a pious face: "Your Majesty, I have nothing important to do. I just heard that Your Majesty has been in poor health recently, so I came here to pay my respects."

Emperor Yun Yi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that this old fox is indeed cunning, but since you are here, how can I let you go easily?

He coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"Lord Zhou, I heard that you have a magical jade pendant that can transfer pain and illness. Is this true?"

When Lord Zhou heard this, his face turned pale instantly, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stammered, "Your Majesty... this... this jade pendant... is something I found by chance. It's not magical..."

Emperor Yun Yi laughed secretly in his heart, this old fox was indeed guilty.

He deliberately stretched out his tone and said leisurely, "Oh? Really? Then why did the old emperor of Ling State become as healthy as before after using this jade pendant?"

Lord Zhou had cold sweat on his forehead, and cursed those quacks in his heart, saying they were really causing so much harm to people!

He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please understand! Those are all rumors! I swear to heaven, this jade pendant really has no magical properties! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, and spare me!"

Emperor Yun Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He waved his hand, motioning Lord Zhou to stand up: "Alright, alright, I'm just asking casually. Since this jade pendant has nothing magical about it, that's fine. But... Lord Zhou, I think you can go back and study this jade pendant carefully. You might find some interesting secrets!"

When Minister Zhou heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best to study this jade pendant and live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Emperor Yun Yi looked at Lord Zhou's embarrassed back and couldn't help but shook his head.

This old fox is so cunning and cute.

But having said that, this matter of the pain transfer jade pendant is really becoming more and more interesting...

Emperor Yun Yi waved his hand gently, called Hao Yun, the intelligent and close minister, to his side, and asked in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hao Yun, what about Minister Zhou? He clearly came to give me this jade pendant with a treasure in his arms. Why did he suddenly retreat as if he had seen a ghost at the critical moment?"

Hao Yun stroked his whisk, blinked his eyes, and looked mysterious.

"Your Majesty, Minister Zhou may be afraid that you will look down on his little things, so he is timid. However, I dare to guess that there may be a lot of tricks behind this jade pendant."

Yun Yi immediately became interested, his eyes lit up: "Oh? There's something else going on? Tell me about it!"

Hao Yun chuckled, moved closer, and lowered his voice even more.

"Your Majesty, think about it, Minister Zhou is usually a cunning guy like a fox, how could he take out such a good treasure for no reason?

I guess he was either afraid of some side effects of the jade pendant, or that the jade pendant had some unclear relationship with him, and he was afraid that he would suffer after offering it."

Yun Yi couldn't help but laugh.

“Hao Yun, you always have some interesting insights.

However, I am really interested in this jade pendant. Tell me, how can I make Minister Zhou willingly give it to me? "

Hao Yun smiled slightly, with a sly glint in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, isn't this simple? You just need to find an opportunity to let Minister Zhou know that this jade pendant can play a greater role in your hands, and he will naturally offer it willingly."

Yun Yi exclaimed: "What a good idea! Hao Yun, you are really my think tank! Then let's do this, you go and make arrangements, find a suitable time, and let Minister Zhou see the magic of this jade pendant!"

Hao Yun agreed respectfully and turned to leave.

Emperor Yun Yi sat back on the dragon throne, secretly thinking about how to cleverly get Minister Zhou to present the mysterious jade pendant...

Minister Zhou stroked the jade pendant in his arms, feeling very fortunate.

It is said that this kind of jade pendant will be more effective only when it is given to a relative. If he hands the jade pendant to the emperor's son and he wants to transfer his illness, then he would have to try it on them.

No, I can’t give it to you no matter what.
