"Why did the emperor suddenly give me this?" Yan Ling frowned, slightly confused.
"How does this slave know? However, since it is a reward from the emperor, the young lady can just keep it." Li Yi stuck out his tongue.
"You!" Yan Ling felt helpless.
Looking at the exquisite jade pendant in the brocade box, Yan Ling could tell that it was extraordinary even if he didn't know much about it. What's more, the sunlight through the lattice window shines on the jade pendant, and it is actually faintly visible that there seems to be flowing jade inside.
For some reason, Yan Ling didn't feel excited at all when seeing such a treasure. Instead, he vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen.
"This reward is given for no reason. There is no reason at all, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing." Yan Ling sighed.
"Ah? What should we do?" When Li heard this, he suddenly became nervous.
"What should I do? Of course I have to put it away properly. As you said, can you still return the things the emperor gave you?" Yan Lingzhuang said as if he didn't care.
The emperor rewarded the eldest lady with a fine jade pendant. Such news soon spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Some people are curious, and naturally some people are angry.
Yan Shuang had just lost her body a few days ago, and after being frozen all night, she was slightly infected with the cold. She has just recovered recently.
But as soon as he heard the news, he was so angry that he almost smashed everything in the house again.
Although I don’t know what that thing is like. But how could the things the emperor had given him be so different? What's more, the thing itself is not important, what is important is the title "rewarded by the emperor".
If it were anyone else, Yan Shuangdao wouldn't be like this, but it was Yan Ling. Yan Shuang had tried to deal with Yan Ling several times, but she had avoided him every time. In the end, she had lost more than she gained.
Yan Shuang has been holding this breath in his heart for a long time.
A few days ago, Yan Shuang was walking on the street fine, but was knocked unconscious and thrown into an alley. Even though the Prime Minister did not find out who the murderer was until the end of this incident, Yan Shuang was very sure that it was Yan Ling who did it.
However, the Prime Minister and Mrs. Yan obviously did not believe that Yan Ling was so capable. In addition, there was no evidence, so Yan Shuang just suffered a loss. However, Yan Shuang still remembered this account clearly.
Originally, Yan Shuang was planning what to do to truly avenge this incident and teach Yan Ling a lesson. Due to the previous failed experiences, Yan Shuang did not dare to take action easily again.
But Yan Shuang didn't expect that it would happen at this juncture. I heard the news that the emperor had given Yan Ling a reward.
Moreover, Yan Shuang was almost certain that Yan Ling had not seen the emperor during this period of time. But the emperor's reward this time was sent directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It seemed as if he just wanted to give Yan Ling a reward for no reason.
This realization made Yan Shuang angry and hateful, but in the end she was helpless.
The next day, Li Yi hurriedly walked through the yard, his face was so ugly that it was scary, which made the maids want to say hello, but they hesitated.
Li Yi walked towards Yan Ling's room without any pause. When Li Yi went to the warehouse to pick up something, he noticed something was wrong. Now, only Liyi herself knew how panicked she was inside.
"Miss" Li shouted with some fear as soon as she closed the door, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.
When Yan Ling saw Liyi almost crying, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that something big had happened, and he had a bad premonition.
"Don't worry, tell me quickly, what happened?" Yan Ling asked seriously.
"Miss, the jade pendant that the emperor rewarded yesterday" Li didn't finish her words, but her tears had already fallen.
"You can tell me what happened to the jade pendant the emperor gave me." Yan Ling suddenly became a little anxious.
Naturally, the emperor's reward represents a kind of honor, but if the emperor's reward is damaged easily, then it may be an added sin. If anyone knows about it, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
However, the emperor rewarded me for no reason yesterday, and now I am afraid that many people are staring at me, just waiting for me to be unlucky.
If something went wrong with the emperor's reward at this time, I'm afraid Yan Ling would really be in trouble.
"I went to the warehouse today to get what the lady said I would use, but I found that the brocade box containing the jade pendant had been opened. When I went to check, I found that the jade pendant inside was missing."
After Li Yi finished speaking these words, he bit his lip and tried not to cry.
"What!" Yan Ling suddenly fell back on the chair. Although he had tried his best to calm down, he could not help but turn pale.
However, at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the house, and the master and servant in the house suddenly became nervous.
The footsteps stopped at the door, and then there was a knock on the door: "Miss, are you inside?"
"What's the matter?" Yan Ling took a deep breath and answered.
"Miss, someone came from the palace, saying that Miss Xuan has entered the palace." The maid at the door said still very respectfully.
"This" Li Yi was so frightened that his face turned pale as a sheet.
To be honest, Yan Ling was very nervous when he heard this kind of news again at this time. But Yan Ling also knew very well that if he panicked at this time, he would be in trouble.
"I know, you go and report first and tell me I'll come back after changing my clothes." Yan Ling said calmly.
"yes."
"Miss, what should I do?" After the person at the door left, Li Yi lowered his voice and said.
"It's not necessarily for this matter. Let's go take a look first." Yan Ling clenched the armrests of the chair, his knuckles turning slightly white.
"It's all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of it." Li Yi blamed himself.
Yan Ling glanced at Liyi, but didn't say anything to comfort her. Instead, he stood up, packed his clothes, and put on his makeup and eyebrows.
Naturally, Yan Ling couldn't keep the people in the palace waiting, but in just a moment, everything was done.
In the past, Yan Ling was always accompanied by Li Yi when he entered the palace, but this time, something was obviously wrong with Li Yi's state.
Yan Ling frowned, called the maid who had just reported from the door, and asked calmly: "What's your name?"
"Reply to the lady, please whisper." The maid only replied respectfully without any other expression.
Yan Ling was slightly appreciative, and then said: "Qingyu, this time you accompany me into the palace. Liyi, please go back to your room and have a good rest."
After saying that, Yan Ling walked out without looking back. Qingyu seemed a little confused. She raised her head and glanced at Liyi's slightly red eyes, which were obviously from crying. However, she didn't ask any more questions and turned around to follow Yan Ling.
When they arrived at the front hall, they found that the Prime Minister and Mrs. Yan were also waiting here, but Li Shuang almost entered the door at the same time as Yan Ling.
