Chapter C30 – The Lost Jade

Proofread by Nie Qiao

“Why did His Majesty suddenly give me this?” Yan Ling frowns, slightly confused.

“How could I know that? But since it’s a gift from His Majesty, you can just keep it, My Lady.” Liyi sticks out her tongue.

“You!” Yan Ling feels helpless.

Looking at the exquisite jade plate in the brocade box, Yan Ling can see that it is not an ordinary product even if she is not an expert in this aspect. What’s more, when the sunlight s.h.i.+nes on the jade through the lattice window, people can see vaguely the flowing texture inside the jade.

Yan Ling doesn’t know why she doesn’t feel excited when she looks at the treasure, but vaguely feels that something bad is going to happen.

“There is no reason or excuse for this reward, I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing.” Yan Ling sighs.

“Ah? What should we do then?” When Liyi hears this, she suddenly becomes nervous.

“What should we do? We definitely should keep it carefully. As you said, can you return the gift given by His Majesty?” Yan Ling says casually.

His Majesty gives a piece of jade to Miss Ling. The news spreads throughout the Prime Minister’s House soon.

Some people are curious, while some are angry.

Yan Shuang was embarra.s.sed a few days ago. In addition, she caught cold after an entire cold night outside and she has just recovered recently.

But hearing this news, she is so angry that she has almost smashed all the things in her room.

She doesn’t know the value of that gift, but how could a reward given by His Majesty be not precious? What’s more, the reward itself is not important. What’s important is the name “bestowed by His Majesty”.

If it were someone else, Yan Shuang would not be that angry, but it was Yan Ling. Yan Shuang has tried several times to frame Yan Ling, but Yan Ling escaped every time, and she lost more in the end.

Yan Shuang has been angry for this for a long while.

A few days ago, Yan Shuang was walking in the street, but was knocked unconscious and left in an alley. Even the prime minister didn’t find out who did it in the end. But Yan Shuang is very sure that Yan Ling did it.

The prime minister and Mrs. Yan obviously don’t believe that Yan Ling has such great ability to do this. In addition, there is no evidence. So Yan Shuang can only let it go. But Yan Shuang bears grudge in her heart.

Originally, Yan Shuang was planning how to revenge and teach Yan Ling a lesson. As a result of the previous failures, Yan Shuang did not dare to do it again.

However, Yan Shuang didn’t expect that His Majesty gave Yan Ling a reward at this moment.

Moreover, Yan Shuang is almost certain that Yan Ling has not seen His Majesty during this period of time. And His Majesty’s reward was directly sent to the Prime Minister’s House. It seems that there is no reason to give Yan Ling a reward except that His Majesty wants to.

This makes Yan Shuang angry and hateful, but there is nothing she can do about it.

The next day, Liyi hurries across the yard. Her face is serious and frightening, which stops those servant girls who want to say h.e.l.lo to her.

Liyi walks towards Yan Ling’s room without any pause. Liyi found something wrong when she went to the warehouse to get something. Now, only Liyi herself knows how much panic she feels.

“My Lady…” As soon as Liyi closes the door, she cries out in fear, and her voice shakes a little bit.

When Yan Ling sees Liyi who almost cries, her heart almost stops and she knows that something serious happened and she has some bad premonition.

“Don’t worry. Tell me what happened.” Yan Ling asks seriously.

“My Lady, the jade given by His Majesty，yesterday…” Liyi doesn’t finish, but her tears already fall.

“What happened to the jade? Tell me.” All of a sudden, Yan Ling also becomes worried.

His Majesty’s reward naturally represents honor. But if His Majesty’s reward is damaged, which is also a kind of crime. If others know that, it will be a big problem.

However, there must be many people staring at her and waiting for her misfortune after the Emperor’s gift.

If His Majesty’s reward is damaged at this moment, Yan Ling will definitely be in trouble.

“I went to the storehouse to take what you asked, but I found… the brocade box with the jade inside was opened. I checked and found that the jade was missing. “

As soon as Li finishes this, she bites her lips and tries not to cry.

“What!” Yan Ling suddenly falls back to the chair. Although she tries to calm down, her face still could not help turning pale.

However, just at this moment, there is a sudden sound of footsteps outside her room. They become nervous immediately.

The footsteps stop at the door, and then there is a knock at the door: “Are you inside, My Lady?”

“What’s the matter?” Yan Ling takes a deep breath and replies.

“There are people form the Palace. His majesty asked you to go to the Palace, My Lady.” The maid at the door is still very respectful.

“What…” Liyi’s face is as pale as paper.

To be honest, Yan Ling is also very nervous when she hears this message at this moment. But Yan Ling is also very clear that it will be troublesome if she becomes fl.u.s.tered.

“I see. You tell them that I’ll come after dressing up.” Says Yan Ling calmly.

“Yes, My Lady.”

“What can we do, My Lady?” Liyi lowers her voice and asks after the servant at the door is gone.

“It doesn’t have to be about the jade. Let’s see first.” Yan Ling clenches the armrest so hard that her knuckles become a little white.

“It’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of it.” Liyi says reproachfully.

Yan Ling takes a look at Liyi, but doesn’t say anything more to comfort her. Instead, she gets up to dress up herself.

It’s not polite for Yan Ling to let the messenger from the Palace wait. So she’s ready after a short while.

In the past, Yan Ling would ask Liyi to accompany her when she went to the Palace, but this time, Liyi is obviously perturbed.

Yan Ling frowns, asks the maid who reported at the door, and asks quietly, “what’s your name?”

“My name is Qingyu, My Lady.” The maid answers respectfully with no other expressions.

Yan Ling says with a little appreciation: “Qingyu, you go to the Palace with me. Liyi, go back to your room and have a good rest. “

With her words, Yan Ling walks out without turning her head back. Qingyu seems puzzled and looks up at Liyi. Her eyes are red, obviously because of crying. Qingyu doesn’t ask anything, but turns to follow Yan Ling.

When Yan Ling gets to the front hall, she finds that the Prime Minister and Mrs. Yan have been waiting here. And Yan Shuang gets here almost at the same time with Yan Ling.
