Concubine Rou was surprised. Her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Feng Yu, âHow does the emperor know this?â
Feng Yuâs dark eyes suddenly lit up. The person who had saved him at the Clear Light Temple was really someone under Concubine Rou.
âThis one wants to see her.â Feng Yuâs eyes were filled with desire as his deep eyes seemed to burn with flames of passion.
Concubine Rou trembled before quickly saying, âThis is the property of the Song Family. Other than my mother, Nan Mo also has one.â
She didnât dare lie to the emperor. The emperor was already familiar with this jade pendant when he asked this, so it would be found out if she lied to the emperor.â
âNan Mo?â Feng Yu narrowed his eyes, âDu San Bao, return to the Supreme Hall and call Song Nan Mo into the palace.â
Eunuch Du quickly replied, âReturning to the Supreme Hall.â
âEmperorâ¦â¦what is this?â Concubine Rou nervously looked at Feng Yu as she asked, âCould it be that Nan Mo has done something wrongâ¦â¦â
Guessing the heart of the emperor was a skill that was necessary for concubines of the harem. Concubine Rou could see from Feng Yuâs eyes that they were filled with flames.
As for the reason why, she couldnât guess.
But she knew that Song Nan Mo had given this jade pendant to Luo Qing Chen and wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.
Nowâ¦â¦just what was happeningâ¦â¦
âThe harem isnât allowed to interfere in politics. Concubine Rou should know that there are certainly things that canât be asked.â Feng Yu looked at her and said, âThis one will come see you another day.â
âEmperorâ¦â¦Emperorâ¦â¦â
Feng Yu didnât turn back as he walked out of the Righteous Declaration Palace.
Feng Yu wouldnât mistake it. The jade pendant that she had that day was almost the exact same as the one that Concubine Rou had.
But the letter on the jade pendant was different. Why was Song Nan Moâs jade pendant on herâ¦â¦
Sitting at the desk in the Supreme Hall, Feng Yu kept thinking about some things and couldnât let them go for a long time.
He didnât know what was wrong with him, but he felt some things lingering in his mind.
It made him dull, anxious, and he found it a bit hard to breathe.
âThis subordinate greets the emperor.â
Song Nan Mo felt that the atmosphere in the Supreme Hall was unusually solemn when he arrived. The emperor had never summoned him to the palace this late before.
Unlessâ¦â¦it was something very important.
âNo need to be courteous,.â Feng Yu raised his right hand and said, âSit.â
Song Nan Mo still gave a polite bow as he said, âThank you, emperor.â
âThis one just came back from your sisterâs and saw that she had a very particular jade pendant.â Feng Yu looked at Song Nan Mo and asked in a questioning voice, âConcubine Rou told this one that you also had a jade pendant like this. Is this true?â
âReporting to the emperorâ¦â¦â Song Nan Mo softly said, âThis is indeed the case. It was this subordinateâs mother who gave one to this subordinate and this subordinateâs sister.â
Song Nan Mo could tell that Feng Yuâs every word was testing him, but he didnât know what he was testing him on.
Could it beâ¦â¦
âThis one has seen you wearing that jade pendant beforeâ¦â¦â He paused as a sharp glow appeared in his eyes, âBut recently, this one hasnât seen you wearing it.â
Song Nan Mo slightly knitted his brows before kneeling down to say, âThis subordinate gave it to someone else. Did something happen to the emperor?â
Feng Yu saw how nervous Song Nan Mo was and the flames in his eyes burned even brighter.
Could it be that the girl who saved him was related to Song Nan Mo?
âIf this one told you that the one who you gave the jade pendant to was related to this oneâs assassination, what would you say?â
