In the Prince's Mansion, Wen Ranran played with the collar in his hand, still feeling like there was some secret in it.
I was unconsciously weighing it in my hands and accidentally pressed a bulge.
There was a snap.
The originally complete gold necklace suddenly opened a hole and split into two halves.
A roll of bright yellow fabric was faintly exposed inside.
Look at the material, it’s very special!
Wen Ranran was stunned.
"Ms. sir! Mr. sir!"
My heart was shaken and I hurriedly called Xia Lishuang.
Xia Lishuang's voice came from outside the door. After a few breaths, the two sat face to face, staring at the gold necklace in a daze.
After a while, Wen Ranran made up her mind. She looked at the fabric and moved her fingers slightly.
Two rolls of bright yellow cloth made of sky silk were pulled out.
Xia Lishuang and Wen Ranran looked at each other.
This looks like there is a big secret!!
I was excited and my little hands were shaking.
Wen Ranran opened the bright yellow scroll, went up to it with Xia Lishuang, and looked at the tiny characters on it.
"No wonder Xia Yanyan is so arrogant...it turns out she has such a gold medal to avoid death."
The two of them suddenly realized.
Hidden in this scroll is a posthumous edict from the late emperor, to the effect that no matter what mistakes Xia Yanyan made, they can be exempted from death and cannot be severely punished.
"That's wrong..."
Wen Ranran's eyes moved slightly and she picked up the other half of the gold necklace that had not been removed.
For a long while, Xia Lishuang and Wen Ranran acted in unison, their eyes widened and they covered their mouths.
"This, this, this..."
Wen Ranran's hand shook.
The gold necklace in front of her was like a ring of fire, making her hands a little hot.
This posthumous edict was actually a succession edict drafted by the late emperor himself!
It turns out that this is the real trump card!
…
In the imperial garden, hundreds of flowers bloomed and koi carps jumped into the pond.
The emperor stood on the low bridge and kept feeding the fish.
"The Princess's mansion was robbed yesterday. What did the thief take?"
"Going back to the emperor, the thief took nothing else of gold and silver, except for a booklet... and the gold collar that the late emperor rewarded the eldest princess."
Eunuch Feng, standing aside, whispered.
"oh?"
When he heard that the gold collar was missing, the emperor suddenly became excited.
Eunuch Feng lowered his head, "It is said that we haven't found out who stole it, but I heard that the eldest princess was very angry about it... and even smashed many of the rewarded things!"
The emperor was holding the fish food. He was startled for a moment, and then suddenly felt elated.
He breathed a sigh of relief and fed all the fish food in his hands into the pond.
The late emperor only had one daughter, the eldest princess, so he loved her very much.
Even when he was dying, she was by his side.
Xia Yanyan has dared to be arrogant and domineering for so many years because that gold collar is not just a gold collar.
There is also an edict left by the late emperor, which can be used as a gold medal to avoid death.
Now this death-free gold medal is lost...
"Hurry up and call Jiang Yan into the palace. I have important matters to discuss with him!"
Throwing the fish food box to Eunuch Feng, the emperor was so happy that there was wind at his feet.
Humming an unknown tune, he strode back to the imperial study.
After a while, Jiang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, came in wearing a purple robe and holding an ivory guard.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"Pingshen!"
The emperor waved his hand casually, with a smile that could not be concealed on his lips.
"Ai Qing looks good!"
When Jiang Yan heard this, he smiled.
The handle that has always been in people's hands has finally been destroyed. Can you not be happy about this?!
He looked at the cheerful emperor and felt a little strange.
The emperor seems to be looking better?
I am literally flying with joy!
"The Emperor urgently summons his ministers, but what's the matter?"
The emperor looked at Jiang Yan with some deep meaning.
"Wan Guangsheng's case can be postponed for a while, but there is no need to rush it!"
Jiang Yan was stunned when he heard this, and broke into a cold sweat after being stared at by such kind eyes.
"Wan Guangsheng's affairs are now entirely in the hands of Lao Qi. You can assist me!"
"I obey the order!"
…
Half an hour later, Xia Lishuang looked at Jiang Yan in front of her and sipped her tea without saying a word.
The Jiang family is as famous as the Prime Minister Wen family, the Yushi Han family, and the general Wang family. They are all large families that have been standing in the court since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Jiang Yan, who usually kept a low profile and never took sides, was now pushed in front of him.
