Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: I’ll Take Care of This Issue

How could she know, that today the Emperor, inexplicably, would even ask her about this matter.

...

On a hidden pathway of the inner court, Eunuch Gui stood there with an anxious expression on his face.

After a good while, another person dressed as a junior eunuch came by.

"Eunuch Gui, you’re in such a hurry to see me, is there something important?" The person immediately asked upon seeing Eunuch Gui.

"Why have you only just arrived?"

Eunuch Gui was so anxious he couldn’t help but blurt out.

But it must be said, upon seeing the person, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don’t you know, I can’t let my identity be exposed carelessly. I had to confirm it was your message, who knows if anyone in this vast palace is keeping track of you?"

The junior eunuch looked at Eunuch Gui, explaining.

In the palace, they must be extremely careful and cautious with everything they do; it’s simply unavoidable.

"All right, all right, I don’t have time to waste on your ramblings!"

Eunuch Gui didn’t want to hear those needless details.

"If this matter weren’t of great importance, do you think I would willingly expose myself?"

Moreover, it wasn’t certain whether he would be exposed, and even if he was, as long as it helped his master, he was willing!

"What’s the matter?" the junior eunuch asked.

"I just overheard the Emperor asking Princess Consort Lian about a jade pendant that the master had on him when he was first brought back, always kept by a nanny by Princess Consort Lian’s side."

Eunuch Gui spoke to the junior eunuch.

"You mean to say, you want me to find that jade pendant?"

The junior eunuch’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Eunuch Gui.

"Are you insane? Do you realize that if that thing goes missing, the Emperor will suspect you first!"

Since they hadn’t discovered this matter for so many years, it was something that had never been mentioned, how could it possibly be stolen so suddenly?

Was this a joke?

"No, it won’t be!"

Eunuch Gui, however, denied his words.

"I know the people around Princess Consort Lian all too well. That nanny herself is not clean-handed, often pawning off some of Princess Consort Lian’s jewelry. When she dies, no one will think of me."

"You mean... you want to pin this entire affair on the nanny?" the junior eunuch asked.

The plan indeed sounded feasible, especially if the nanny’s hands were indeed as dirty as claimed, there was room for maneuver.

"Fine, I will handle this matter."

Clenching his teeth, he addressed Eunuch Gui.

Having said this, he prepared to leave but was pulled back by Eunuch Gui.

"Wait, what’s your hurry?"

"What else is there?"

The junior eunuch turned his head to look at Eunuch Gui, asking.

He wasn’t the one eager to rush things; it was for fear that if they delayed too long, the Emperor might become suspicious.

"I think, since there’s a jade pendant, there must also be other items. Take them all; no good item should be left behind. Additionally, take a few inconspicuous pieces of jewelry from Princess Consort Lian’s chambers and place them in the nanny’s room."

He instructed.

"Understood."

The junior eunuch acknowledged.

...

Half an hour passed.

Inside the Imperial study, Princess Consort Lian was still kneeling on the ground.

Even though the Emperor hadn’t uttered a word, nor had he thought to let Princess Consort Lian stand, let alone find a stool for her to sit on.
