The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 117 Search carefully

Zhixing's pupils shrank, she looked panicked, and she swallowed unconsciously.

The master said that she had been carrying the star-shaped jade pendant since she was a baby. After coming to the capital, she saw several princes and emperors wearing jade pendants similar to hers. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she never hung it around her waist, but hid it in a secret pocket on her sleeve. She had seen it so many times that she would not take it out every day to take a closer look at it.

I don’t know when such a similar jade pendant was swapped.

Look at the carved patterns and the words on it, this is the jade pendant of King Xian Ye Jinlan.

But she has no connection with King Xian...

Could it be that night...

Thinking about how Lingyin seemed to be staring at the jade pendant for a long time just now, could it be that she noticed something?
She bit her lip in a panic, took out the jewelry box from the dressing table, opened the secret compartment at the bottom, and hid the jade pendant inside.

Just as I was about to let out a breath, the door was pushed open from outside.

She took a deep breath and looked flustered. Seeing Ye Jingnian walking towards her bed in a hurry, she stood up and bowed: "What do you want, Your Highness?"

Ye Jingnian pulled her arm, put his hands on her body without any hesitation, and searched her body without saying a word.

Zhixing's face turned pale and her heart was beating like thunder. She looked at Lingyin who was lowering her head behind Ye Jingnian and frowned uneasily.

Ye Jingnian said in a low and angry voice, "If you dare to falsely accuse me, I will chop off your head!"

Lingyin knelt down hurriedly and said, "I dare not! I originally thought that the jade pendant was stolen by Zhixing, but just now I saw that there was a jade pendant on your waist... I can't be wrong, the pattern is the same as the one that the late emperor gave to your highness and other princes..."

Ye Jingnian's face became darker and darker. When Zhixing heard Lingyin's words, her body gradually stiffened, and her lips and teeth trembled uncontrollably.

Ye Jingnian raised his hand and pinched her chin, staring into her dazed eyes, and said: "Zhi Xing, you dare to betray me..."

Zhi Xing's heart suddenly tightened, and she said, "I... didn't..."

Ye Jingnian searched for a long time but could not find anything. He frowned slightly and said, "Go search somewhere else."

"Yes."

Lingyin nodded her head and searched every corner of the room. After a while, she found the foreign object hidden under the pillow. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, and suddenly screamed.

"What are you rushing for?" Ye Jingnian growled, frowning in annoyance.

Lingyin turned around and tremblingly presented the thing in her hand: "Zhi Xing is so brave, she actually... actually..."

Ye Jingnian looked at it and saw that it was a little straw man pierced with needles. When he turned it over to the front, he saw Bai Muling's name and date of birth written on it.

He looked at Zhixing, but saw that she was also looking up at him, with a pair of clear eyes that showed no emotion.

Ye Jingnian sneered, looked at the silver needle stuck on it, and said, "Put it under the pillow, aren't you afraid of getting pricked when you sleep?"

Zhixing breathed calmly and said, "If you put it next to me when I go to bed, of course I won't."

Seeing that the situation was not right and Ye Jingnian had no intention of blaming her, Ling Yin immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, I won't tell anyone!"

Ye Jingnian picked up the tinder on the table beside him, blew out a spark, lit the figurine, threw it into the spittoon, and said to Ling Yin who was kneeling on the ground, "Search carefully."

After he finished speaking, he took Zhixing's hand and walked out of the inner room.

Zhi Xing's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. She bit her lip and frowned, "Your Highness, are you still doubting me?"

Ye Jingnian didn't say anything, sitting on the throne, closing his eyes and rubbing his brows with his hands, his face full of fatigue. In the past, Zhi Xing didn't dare to disturb him too much at this time. She clenched her fists, lowered her head and stood beside him, her eyes occasionally glancing into the inner room.

In a moment, the jewelry box on the table was turned out, Lingyin took out the jade pendant, and Zhixing frowned and closed her eyes.

Lingyin walked quickly to Ye Jingnian, presented it to him, and said, "Your Highness, I did not lie. Zhixing really betrayed you."

Ye Jingnian opened his eyes and looked at the jade pendant handed to him by Lingyin. He was stunned for a moment. He then looked at Zhixing, whose eyes were dazed and dull, with disappointment in his eyes.

He picked up the jade pendant, rubbed it carefully, turned over, saw the words on it, and was silent for a long time.

Zhi Xing clenched her fists, thought for a moment, and wanted to explain: "Your Highness..."

Ye Jingnian said to Ling Yin in a cold voice: "If it's not the Seventh Uncle's jade pendant, how can it be a betrayal?"

Zhixing looked up at him in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief.

As long as it’s not Ye Jinchen, it doesn’t matter even if she secretly hides other men’s things, right?

Lingyin pursed her lips and lowered her head and said, "Yes, I was just talking nonsense..."

Ye Jingnian stroked the words on the jade pendant with his fingertips, raised his eyes and looked deeply at Zhixing, stretched out his hand to pull her over, put the jade pendant in her arms, then stood up and left indifferently.

When he reached the door, he paused and said coldly to Yan Chuan who was guarding the door: "Ling Yin, drowned."

"Yes."

Lingyin also knew that she had seen something she shouldn't have seen, and cried out, "Your Highness, please spare me! I really won't tell anyone!"

But in just a moment, she was dragged out of the house by Yanchuan's men.

As soon as the door was closed, Zhixing's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

A table full of sumptuous dishes was served, and Lu Changxuan took the bowl and chopsticks and ate contentedly: "Mm, delicious!"

"Slow down." Sheng Yunqing frowned and sighed helplessly, "It's like you haven't eaten."

Lu Changxuan swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, looked at Sheng Yunqing and sighed softly, saying: "You don't know, Master calculated that you would have a disaster in the next few days, so he kicked me down the mountain. I have been traveling day and night for the past few days, and I have only eaten a few bites of dry food."

"Cousin, your master loves you very much." Sheng Yueying beside her said with a smile.

Sheng Yunqing felt a warm feeling in his heart, and then a hint of worry emerged between his brows.

Master is so anxious, there must be something urgent and dangerous.

She looked at Lu Changxuan and asked, "What did the master say specifically?"

After finishing a bowl of rice, Lu Changxuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "The old man already knows that Prince Ye was bewitched. He said that there is a way to break it in the near future, but we have to seize the opportunity."

Sheng Yunqing held the jade spoon in her slender hands and stirred the snow frog soup in the bowl. The hot steam rose and filled her beautiful eyes with a layer of mist.

She pondered for a moment, thinking about the jade pendant Ye Jinlan was playing with in his hand, and said, "Could it be..."

Lu Changxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Junior sister, have you thought of any clues?"

Sheng Yunqing frowned and said, "Let's observe it for a while."
