"Where did you get this jade pendant from?"

Concubine Yi rushed to Qiangwei's side, grabbed the jade pendant around her waist, and pulled it off with a fierce tug.

She had seen this jade pendant before.

The emperor had always worn it close to his body. She once asked about the origin of the jade pendant, and the emperor said it was given to him by his mother.

She always knew that the emperor was not the empress dowager's biological son, and the empress dowager was only the emperor's aunt.

Of course, she wasn't the only one who knew about this.

So, even though she had looked up the meaning of this mandarin duck pendant, she still did not ask the emperor for it.

After all, this was what the concubine left for the emperor.

But now...

This jade pendant actually appeared on a palace maid. How could she not drive her crazy? All her rationality almost collapsed in an instant.

At this moment, she no longer cared about equality for all. She grabbed Qiangwei's neck with one hand and forced her to answer.

"Tell me, where did this jade pendant come from?"

"Cough cough..."

Qiangwei was strangled so hard that she couldn't speak. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Lady Yang's hand with great effort, begging her with difficulty, "Beauty...Beauty...let me go...I say..."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yang loosened her hands and ordered two eunuchs to hold Qiangwei's hands, forcing her to kneel and crawl on the ground.

After Qiangwei took a deep breath, she still felt pain in her chest, which showed that Lady Yang really wanted to kill her.

What's so special about this jade pendant?

But now, Qiangwei had no choice but to explain the origin of the jade pendant. She knew very well that she wanted to survive.

In the palace, the life of a little maid like her was worthless, and any noble could crush her to death.

She had no ability to protect others, and even protecting herself was a difficult task for her.

"Yes, it was given to me by Sister Su Mei from the Imperial Study."

"Su Mei?"

Lady Yang read the name carefully and didn't have much impression of it, but she was very angry now.

but……

She changed her mind and thought that maybe the little palace maid named Su Mei in the imperial study was dishonest and might have stolen from the emperor.

Correct!

That must be the case!

Lady Yang was almost instantly certain of her guess.

The reason was simple: she simply could not accept the idea that the jade pendant was given by the emperor to the little palace maid.

She is not worthy of being an unknown little palace maid.

"Call the eunuchs in our palace and tell them there's a thief in the palace. I'm going to take them to catch the thief."

"Yes!"

Although the young eunuchs in Concubine Yang's palace were surprised by Concubine Yang's unusual behavior today, they could only do as Concubine Yang said.

After hearing this, Qiangwei realized that she might have harmed Sister Mei. She hoped that the emperor would appear, and perhaps Sister Mei could still be saved.

For some reason, Qiangwei always felt that the emperor's attitude towards Su Mei was very unusual. She instinctively felt that the emperor would save Sister Mei.

This is also the reason why she told the origin of the jade pendant without hesitation, and informed Sister Mei of the solution.

But Lady Yang seemed to have noticed her thoughts and ordered two eunuchs to keep a close eye on Qiangwei and not let her go out until she came.

……

Concubine Yang brought several young eunuchs to the imperial study.

Seeing her coming in a threatening manner, the young eunuch at the door immediately stepped forward and greeted her with a flattering smile.

"Greetings, Lady Yang, the Emperor is not in the Imperial Study."

The young eunuch thought that Concubine Yang was here to see the emperor, and after paying her respects, she immediately announced that the emperor was not there.

But Lady Yang did not turn back. She just stretched her neck to look inside, and then said, "There is a thief in the imperial study. I am here to catch the thief."

Thief?

The young eunuch was startled by this. He scratched his head before saying, "Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding? How dare the thieves break into the imperial study?"

Unless he is a big-name bandit, such people are rare, and the young eunuchs have almost never heard of them. They have never seen anyone dare to steal into the palace.

"I said yes, so get out of here!"

Concubine Yang was too lazy to talk to a watchdog, so she pushed the eunuch aside and rushed in with her palace people.

Now she only wanted to catch the palace maid named Su Mei and find out who she was.

The news that Concubine Yang had caused a disturbance in the Imperial Study was soon passed on to Lai Fu by the eunuchs in the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Lai Fu was guarding the gate of Concubine Rou's palace, waiting for the emperor to come out.

These days, he always felt that the emperor was very strange.

It all started when I met the woman from the Su family.

Just as he was thinking about something, the eunuch from the Imperial Study came running over in a hurry, knelt in front of Lai Fu and said, "Eunuch, it's bad, Concubine Yang has gone to the Imperial Study now."

"I see, what's all the fuss about?"

Lai Fu's face looked obviously not good. It was not surprising that this Lady Yang did anything. He always felt that this Lady Yang had some weird brains. In short, she was not normal.

I guess he wants to go to the imperial study to look for the emperor again, so he brought people in. This is not the first time this has happened.

Last time, she led people to break into the imperial concubine's palace and forcibly took the emperor away. At that time, this incident was talked about by many people in the palace.

Everyone said that Concubine Yang was so favored by the emperor that she could even snatch someone from the imperial concubine's palace. Not only did she succeed, but the imperial concubine didn't even dare to say anything.

"Eunuch, she said she wanted to go to the imperial study to catch a thief."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Lai Fu's face instantly turned displeased. After all, the palace was under his jurisdiction, and Concubine Yang kept talking about thieves, which was obviously questioning his management ability.

Forget it, after all, the emperor still has some use for her now, so Eunuch Lai Fu swallowed his anger.

His face was gloomy and tense, and he said in a cold tone, "Just keep an eye on her and don't let anything happen."

Seeing what Eunuch Lai Fu said, the young eunuch had no choice but to give up.

He understood that that young lady was not to be provoked. Even Eunuch Lai Fu couldn't do anything to her, so how could he afford to offend her?

After Concubine Yang rushed into the imperial study, she immediately asked someone to call the person in charge and asked him where Su Mei was.

The young eunuch in charge of the Imperial Study understood that Su Mei was someone the Emperor had specifically instructed to keep an eye on, and that nothing could happen to her.

However, he couldn't afford to offend this young lady in front of him. The eunuch he sent to find Eunuch Lai Fu had not returned yet, so he had no choice but to kneel on the ground and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Your Majesty, there is no one named Su Mei in our palace."

What he said was indeed correct. Su Mei was not sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she was not even a member of the palace. There was nothing wrong with answering like that.

Hearing this, Lady Yang sneered and then continued to ask.

"Is that rose from your place?" Lady Yang asked again.

The young eunuch thought for a moment, then nodded and replied.

"Yes, Qiangwei is our maid here."

Concubine Yang's eyes were cold. She took out the rose jade pendant and waved it in front of the eunuch before saying, "This is something we found on her. It's the emperor's personal jade pendant, and she stole it."
