[136] Bloody Jade Pendant

At this time, the Three Princes' Mansion had fallen into a gloomy and terrible state. No one dared to approach Mo Hanxuan anymore, including Lin Yuerong.

Only Lin Zifei, who followed Ye Chumo, knew that his noble family had been locked in the study for a month, and he would always stare blankly with a bloody jade pendant, and that jade pendant was still picked up from the prison - to be precise, the cell where the former imperial concubine was imprisoned.

Ye Chumo was ordered by the emperor and went to neighboring countries to negotiate day and night. After ten days, he finally returned to his country properly. During this period, he was thinking about the little woman he was imprisoned in prison. Although he might occasionally think of Rong'er who had worked hard to raise children for him but had an accidental miscarriage, he was not as strong as Wen Xuan'er.

During this period, he also thought a lot. He always felt that his feelings for Rong'er were not love, but just for the gratitude ten years ago. Only when facing Wen Xuan'er, his emotions would be so great, and his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, which Rong'er could not give him.

He decided that after he returned, no matter what the truth was, he would protect her to the end. He felt very distressed for these ten days of prison punishment, but she was locked in prison and there would be no major problems. When he got back, he would release her and restore her identity.

As for Rong'er, he felt very sorry for her previous promise, because he never thought that he would fall in love with Wen Xuan'er before. This was completely unexpected, so he decided to compensate Lin Yuerong well in the future. Even if he could not give her unique love, he would still keep her prosperous and prosperous life.

On the way back, he had planned everything, but he didn't expect that after he came back, everything would change so drastically.

He didn't even have time to go back to the palace to report to his father, but just sent the accompanying officials to go back to the palace first. He rushed back, entered the palace, and headed straight to the prison cell, but found that the house was gone, and the beautiful figure he had thought about day and night had disappeared!

"Where has the imperial concubine gone?" He raised the collar of a guard and roared.

"Back... Go back to Your Highness, there is no imperial concubine in the palace, only a concubine!" The guard said stammeringly.

"Wen Xuan'er, where is she?" Ye Chumo's face became even more gloomy. He did not forget that he said he was going to depose his identity as a concubine. Damn, he regretted it. He really regretted it. He now only hopes to see her appear in front of him, and he can ignore everything else.

"Go back to Your Highness, prisoner Wen Xuan'er, plotting to murder the royal family. On the fourth day after you left the palace, you ran away from the palace!" The guards were much calmer. The reason why he said these words was not because of Lin Yuerong's instructor. The former imperial concubine ran away for fear of crime. This had become the matter of the entire palace's public magistrate.

As for the four guards who died that night, Lin Yuerong had quietly disposed of the body and gave the guards' family a lot of money to comfort them, allowing them to fly away. The blood in the prison cell had also been cleaned up. At first glance, there was no flaw at all.

Ye Chumo frowned and his face turned darker, "Damn it, what did you say?"

She actually ran away? How could she escape? How could she be a weak woman run away from a heavily guarded prison cell? Wen Xuan'er, has this king always underestimated you?

******************************************

He returned to the study in a daze. Lin Yuerong had been waiting there early in the morning. When she saw him, she immediately rushed into his arms with tears in her eyes. "Mo, you are finally back, I miss you so much!"

"Rong'er..." Ye Chumo forced a smile and then patted her on the shoulder, "Leaving your side when you were most vulnerable because you suddenly had something to leave. How is your body recovering now?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me!" Lin Yuerong covered her lower abdomen, with a sad look on her face, and her eyes suddenly turned red, but Ye Chumo, who was full of worries, did not notice any change in her expression.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but speak, "Well, how is she...?"

Lin Yuerong's face changed. After he came back, he could not escape her eyes and ears. But now he knew that she was no longer in the palace, but he said such words to her. What does this mean? She felt panicked...

"Mo, are you asking Wen Xuan'er? Rong'er was afraid that you would be sad, so she didn't want to mention this matter. Four days after you left, she ran away from the cell!" Lin Yuerong shed tears, "I have always wanted to wait for Your Highness to come back and avenge our children, but she actually joined the army with a traitor like Phoenix Palace and ran away like this!"

"What did you say, Phoenix Palace?" Ye Chumo was shocked. How could Wen Xuan'er have something to do with Phoenix Palace?

"It's true. The four guards guarding the cell that night were all killed by the people from Phoenix Palace. A leaf was embedded in their necks, and the bodies were all tested. It was indeed the work of the Phoenix Palace. The guards were killed and the people from the cell were gone. Is there anything else to say?"

Although Ye Chumo was shocked by Wen Xuan'er's escape, what shocked him even more was that it was the people from Phoenix Palace who saved her!

You know, in order to cooperate with Phoenix Palace, he had sacked his mind and ended up leaving it alone, but he didn't know when his imperial concubine had any contact with Phoenix Palace. Who is Wen Xuan'er? Ye Chumo frowned and fell into deep thoughts.

Since she was brought back to the palace, she has never had the image of a dignified and virtuous wife and good mother, but apart from her carefree personality, she has not done anything out of the ordinary. Although she always likes to go out, she either goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit her mother or goes to Yicui Pavilion in the palace to find Feng Muyan. He has been secretly sending people to follow her and has sent someone to investigate her before, but she really can't find any suspicious signs.

Suddenly remembering the marriage robbery incident on the wedding day, his brows frowned tightly, damn, he almost forgot about this matter. Didn’t Chu Ling come back and tell him that the people from Phoenix Palace came out to interfere? He felt very strange at first, but now he finally understood that the Phoenix Palace was coming for Wen Xuan'er.

After three months of marriage, he suddenly realized that he had no idea about his concubine.

At this time, he was filled with extreme resentment towards her escape. Wen Xuan'er, who gave you the courage to escape from this king's side? Do you think you can be safe after going to the Phoenix Palace? No matter where you are, I will find you back. You are my princess, until you die! Ye Chumo tightly raised his fists, his eyes showing fierce light.

***************************************

Even though he was full of endless resentment and sorrow for her, after dinner, Ye Chumo wandered around the mansion for a while, and his footsteps involuntarily walked towards the direction of the cell...

The guard at the door was shocked when he saw him and thought to himself, what was going on with His Highness? The cell was dirty and smelly. His noble identity had only been here several times a day. Should he be so scary? But the guard still knelt down quickly, "See Your Highness!"

"Open the door!" Ye Chumo didn't even look at him, staring straight at the prison door, his eyes full of obsession.

The guard quickly got up, opened the prison door with the key, and then smiled flatteringly, "Please, your Highness!"

He wanted to go in with Ye Chumo, but he stopped him directly, "Get out of here, don't bother me!"

"Yes, yes!" The guard was shocked and sweated coldly. What's wrong with Your Highness?

Ye Chumo walked into the dark passage and walked to the deepest part of the cell. This cell was owned by his royal palace. He only imprisoned some servants who had made mistakes on weekdays, so there were almost no one in it, empty one after another, but his goal was very clear, and he walked directly to the cell where Ye Xuan was imprisoned at that time.

The person was gone and there was no need to lock it up again, so he walked in directly! He looked at the environment here and couldn't help but find the reason for her escape. Is it because she really couldn't stand the environment here? It was also because she was a girl's house, locked in such a dark and terrifying dungeon, that she must be unable to stand it. When he left, he didn't expect that he would come back so many geniuses. Perhaps Wen Xuan'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran away.

After he finds her, he will restore her identity and live a good life with her, so that everything can be peaceful, right?

While he was thinking this, he walked in the dark cell. Although the weather outside was very hot, the cell was cold and wet. He couldn't help but start blaming his negligence. If she was really imprisoned here for more than ten days, how could her body bear it?

The blood stains at that time had been cleaned by Lin Yuerong. After so many days, he naturally refused to find any clues. The ground was covered with thick straw, and brocade boots were walking on it, making a slight sound. When he was about to reach the corner of the wall, he suddenly stopped and did not continue to move forward.

He took a step back, then squatted down, and turned out the unknown object that had just hit his feet from the thick straw. It was a jade pendant... The jade pendant was covered with dried blood. Looking at the jade pendant, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his whole body trembled violently!

Ten years ago, all those scenes appeared in front of him, but why did the jade pendant appear here?

Could it be Rong'er? No, no, Rong'er has married into the mansion for so many days, and he has never seen this jade pendant on her. Moreover, this is a prison cell. What did she come to the prison cell for nothing?

With the jade pendant tightly in his hand, he felt more and more panicked and confused. Finally, he kicked the jade pendant into his arms and then walked out with big strides!
