Chapter 1394: Jade Pendant and Clothing >

Mo Junyi and Lei Hong, along with Dr. Liu, continued to tinker with the gunpowder formula as they had done every day before.Dr. Liu didn't understand anything, he was only here to keep an eye on Mo J...It seems something important has happened, and the princess shouldn't know about it.

Ning'er immediately stood up and rushed to open the door, getting straight to the point. "What happened"

Yu Si's eyes, dark and unclear, stared at Ning'er. He nodded slightly, his expression resembling hers, grave and solemn.

Ning'er's heart tightened, it seemed something really had happened.

Their eyes met for a moment, and Ning'er gave a slight nod. "Let's change places."

"Hmm."

Although the Queen had never explicitly mentioned her hearing issues, those close to Her as her attendants were well aware that their Queen possessed a hearing ability beyond that of ordinary people.

Unwilling for the queen to overhear their conversation, they had to move to a different location.

......

Yun Si led the way, and the two arrived at the courtyard farthest from Jingtang Garden.

As soon as we entered the courtyard, Yun Si immediately said anxiously, “Young Master... something must have happened to him. Xu..."

"As I suspected. Ning'er clenched her hands tightly, "What news have you received Do you have any proof"

Yun Si nodded slightly, then took out a jade pendant. "This is the jade pendant on Yun Wu's body. Each of us in the Yun family army has a jade pendant that represents our identity, and it must always be worn."

In other words, the jade pendant is on the person.

And now, Yun Wu's jade pendant has appeared in Yun Si's hands, which most likely means... something happened to Yun Wu.

There is danger to life.

At the moment Ning'er saw the jade pendant, she didn't need Yun Si to explain to understand the general situation and why Yun Si was so worried today.

It's not just that I'm worried about Yun Wu, now even the Prince, Mo Jun Yi, might be in danger.

Yun Wu was sent to rescue the Crown Prince and find a way to take him out of Beijang City.

But now, he discovered the jade pendant he carried with him. Who could guarantee that the Crown Prince who was with him would be unharmed

Thinking of this, Ning'er suddenly remembered what Yun Liu had mentioned in the letter.

They also sent a large number of people to search for Yun Wu and the prince's whereabouts. Even Yun Yi was dispatched to find them, but there was still no news, and no clues were found.

What if the princess found out about this How could she remain unaffected

Now that the princess doesn't even know about the Cloud Five Jade Pendant, she's already worried. If she were to find out about this matter, I'm afraid she would be overcome with worry and could even miscarry.

Therefore, this matter... must certainly not be known to the Princess.

Yunsi also understood this, which is why she sought out Ning'er for a private conversation.

Both of them fell silent for a moment. Ning'er clenched her fists, "Where did Yunwu get this jade pendant"

“The Princess told me to send someone to pick up the young master, didn't she They never managed to meet him at the agreed spot, so they went looking along the road. This jade pendant was found in a mountain, and most importantly, there were clear signs of a fight where the pendant was found.”

But no body was found nearby. Hidden in the grass, they discovered Yun Wu's jade pendant, and look...there's blood on it...

"Upon hearing this from Yun Si, Ning'er leaned closer and saw that there were indeed some bloodstains on the jade pendant. It wasn't hard to guess that the situation Yun Wu and the others had encountered must have been very dangerous."

After a moment of contemplation, Ning'er asked again, "Besides the jade pendant, are there any other clues"

"Some garments, based on their size and fabric, could very well belong to the prince and Yun Wu among others."

"......"

Why are there still clothes

Did the crown prince and his company deliberately discard their clothes to draw attention, or did they really encounter something

Ning'er thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with the young master and his companions.

Yun Si couldn't figure it out either. The reason he chose to tell Ning Er today was mainly to urge her to be more careful these days and to be vigilant against anyone intentionally sending messages to the Princess Consort.

There is still a traitor hiding in the palace right now. It's unclear whether the traitor was the one who reported the young master's incident, so they need to be careful enough to prevent the traitor from revealing the news about the young master and Yun Wu to the princess when they are not paying attention.

Their queen consort cannot be stimulated at the moment. He doesn't know how much psychological stress she can handle, but just to be safe, he needs to do everything possible to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Needless to say, Ning'er knew what Yun Si Ming meant by saying these things to her today.

After a moment of thought, Ning'er couldn't say what she was thinking about. She pursed her lips and said, "I'll find a few brothers from Xintan Valley to help you later. We can't delay finding the young master. Even if the Princess Consort isn't worried yet, if we don't have any news back, given her temper, she wouldn't suspect anything."

Yun Si nodded slightly, "I understand that. That's why I came to you today to discuss something with you."

"Huh"

"Five days later, if we still haven't found any useful information, I will have someone impersonate Yun Wu and write a letter. The letter will say that they are all safe and well, but that someone has been following them along the way, so they can't travel along the route the Princess gave them. For safety's sake, they will take a detour to Nian Yun City to meet up with Yun Yi and the others."

Ning'er was silent for a moment, "So be it."

No one wants to deceive the Princess, and they all know that the Princess hates being deceived. Once the Princess finds out she has been deceived, the consequences could be severe, but no matter what punishment it is, they will accept it.

The most important thing right now is to soothe the Duchess's emotions. Even though they have received accurate information about the prince, as long as the result is not good, they must keep it from the Duchess first.

No matter what happens, we have to wait until the princess's two little ones are born before we do anything.

Seeing that Ning'er also agreed with his actions, Yun Si relaxed slightly, "Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for this matter. No matter what the outcome is in the future, I won't implicate you. No matter how the Princess punishes me, I won't drag you down."

Even if one day things are exposed, Ning'er wouldn't be the kind of person to shirk responsibility and let Yun Si shoulder it alone. She just didn't want to discuss these hypothetical matters right now, she simply said:

"Let's discuss this another time. For now, have two people keep a close eye on Shuangshuang. She's the most likely traitor in the palace right now."

Yun Si nodded slightly, "Understood. I'll take care of this."

"If there's nothing else, I shall return to Jingtang Garden first. I've been away for too long, and the Princess might become suspicious."

"Hmm."

......

After returning to Jingtang Courtyard, Ning'er saw their Madam still staring at the letter in her hand, looking at it as if it were a priceless treasure. An outsider might have thought that King Beijang had sent her a whole stack of letters.ay and eventually fell into the hands of Bai Feng and others. This gave those damned people from Bai Feng a chance to threaten his fifth uncle.This led to Fifth Uncle falling into the ravine, his wher...
