Just when everyone was at a loss, Concubine Ke, the head concubine of the Yanx Palace, took the initiative to go to the Yonghe Palace.

The Emperor took the matter of the young prince falling into the water very seriously and sent people to find out the truth and give an explanation to the Thirteenth Prince.

Kangxi said that anyone who could provide important clues would be rewarded handsomely, and this was enough to help solve the case.

Concubine Ke appeared at this time because of the emperor's words.

She had no connection with Yonghe Palace, so she could have pretended not to know what happened that day.

This way you won't offend other people.

But now it’s different. Once the case is solved, the emperor might reward her.

Empress Defei knew that she must have something important to say when she came here, so she did not dare to neglect her.

"Did you really see it clearly?" Concubine De became cautious.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"

Defei believed her, but she should still be more careful.

The last person the palace maid saw was the Eighth Lady.

After leaving the court, Yinzhen went to Defei with the Thirteenth Prince. He was a little surprised to hear the name of the Eighth Lady.

It is really unlikely that her usually gentle and kind appearance could be associated with such a thing.

But Concubine Ke's words directed the blame at the Eighth Lady.

What we need to do now is to find that palace maid.

Just when everything seemed to be in vain, the guards found a jade pendant at the place where Hong Xiao fell into the water.

Yinzhen recognized the jade pendant at first sight.

These were exactly the pair of jade pendants that Yinsi had had before, one was with him and the other was with Deyin.

The two jade pendants are slightly different, and this one happens to be Yinsi's.

Ever since Yinsi got his wife, he gave the jade pendant to her.

The Eighth Lady has been worried these days because the jade pendant has disappeared, even though she had kept it carefully.

After searching everywhere without finding him, she was really panicked and worried about being discovered all the time.

When the Eighth Master came back, the Eighth Lady calmed down a little when she saw that he looked normal.

The guards in the palace were busy looking for him, but there was still no trace of him.

Deyin felt that the palace maids that day were most likely no longer in the palace.

That person couldn't be so stupid as to wait for evidence to be found. It was more likely that she wasn't even a palace maid.

It was just brought in by someone with ulterior motives.

Yinzhen took the jade pendant back home and never told anyone else.

Deyin looked at the jade pendant on the desk and thought it was hers. She wondered when Yinzhen took it away.

As soon as I picked it up and wanted to take it away, I found that the pattern on it was different from the one I had.

Deyin knew that the other piece belonged to the Eighth Prince, but how could it be with Yinzhen?

Could it be?

Deyin thought about Hongxiao falling into the water and had some guesses in his mind.

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Yinzhen called Deyin after seeing her pondering over the jade pendant for a long time and still not coming to her senses, so he stopped her.

He snatched the jade pendant from Deyin's hand: "Are you familiar with it?"

Deyin nodded, already having the answer in her mind.

"Is it Mr. Eight?"

Deyin asked slowly.

Yinzhen already had the answer in his mind. The previous accusation by Concubine Ke was just a suspicion, and this jade pendant was the evidence.

He appeared at the place where Hongxiao fell into the water for no reason. It depends on what words the Eighth Master can come up with to excuse himself.

Yinzhen put the jade pendant away and prepared to report the matter to his father the next day.

With the evidence, Yinxiang argued his case and did not want to let the matter go so easily.

The Eighth Master didn't know much about this matter. If the jade pendant hadn't been traced back to him, he really wouldn't have thought that his Eighth Lady had caused him such a big trouble.
