Chapter 547: Where did the jade pendant come from (2)
The Emperor said to Housekeeper Sun: “Go back immediately and get the jade pendant.”
Housekeeper Sun retired and left the palace in a hurry.
While Cang Shuhang was still kneeling in the study room. The emperor seemed to have forgotten him.
The emperor said to the eunuch beside him: “Is Dongfang Mu here today?”
The eunuch shook his head: “Answering back to his majesty, he didn’t come, but he sent a gift. He must still be in the capital. He visits Miss Wan during this time of the year.”
Speaking of Miss Wan, the emperor sighed and asked: “Do you often send a doctor to visit her?”
The eunuch replied: “Yes, the doctor visits every few days.”
“What kind of disease does Dongfang Wan’er have? After all this year, how could she still not be cured?” The emperor asked.
The eunuch shook his head again: “The doctor said that Miss Wan fell ill when she lost her child that year. She was too sad and damaged her body during her confinement. She hasn’t been well since that. And now she’s getting worse and worse.”
The emperor’s eyebrows tightly knitted, as his hand that was holding the jade pendant also became tighter.
Chu Yan’s marriage has been settle before the child was even born, but who would expect that the child will die before it was born. Dongfang Mu said that this jade pendant was buried with the child.
So why did this jade pendant that was buried with the child appear here?
The emperor ’s eyes once again swept over to Cang Shuhang’s pale face, then said with a deep voice: “I think you don’t know what’s going on. I’ll spare your dog’s life for a while. But listen carefully, within 10 days, you should find out the ins and outs of this jade pendant. None of the people involved in the process should be leaked. Just make a report. Do you understand? ”
When Cang Shuhang heard that his life was spared, he felt relieved and then immediately kowtowed: “This official understands.” But he suddenly thought, what should he do once he found out the people involve?
Cang Shuhang secretly looked up at the emperor and saw that the emperor was also looking at him. He quickly withdrew his eyes and asked with a trembling voice: “Emperor, after this official investigated and found out the people involved, what should I do?”
The Emperor said: “You only need to check, you don’t need to open your mouth. You just shut up your mouth. You don’t have to worry about the rest, I will do it myself.”
When Cang Shuhang was taken out by two little eunuchs, the emperor said to the old eunuch: “You send someone to Dongfang Mu and say that I have something to ask him. Don’t say anything about this jade pendant first.”

In Changyuan Houfu
Dongfang Mu was sitting in front of his daughter’s bed. When he saw the imperial doctor checking her pulse, he asked: “Did she get any better?”
The imperial doctor shook his head: “It’s still the same, and getting worse and worse. Teacher Dongfang, you need to be mentally prepared.”
Dongfang Mu angrily said: “Mentally prepared? What is there to prepare? What should I prepare for? She’s lying well here. You are an imperial doctor, not only you can’t treat her, but you’re also asking me to be mentally prepared?”
The more he gets emotional, the more his heartache.
The imperial doctor sighed and said nothing more. He just left after writing a prescription.
Dongfang Wan, who was in the bed and leaning head on the pillow bed with a weak face, smiled at Dongfang Mu with a bitter smile: “Dad, what are you doing? It’s not the imperial doctor’s fault that I am sick. Why are you blaming him?”
Dongfang Mu’s anger hasn’t dissipated: “Why shouldn’t I blame him? How long have you been sick? He is an imperial doctor, but he has no way to cure your illness. I think he is incompetent. He’s only saying that you got cold because of that day.”
“Dad, if you continue to be like this, you’ll die. What’s the use of being angry?”
Dongfang Mu’s heartache. How can he not be angry when he saw his daughter like this? He was angry with himself. Why did he just watch his daughter seriously get sick and didn’t do anything?
