The leading guard was halfway there when he suddenly thought of something and turned back to say, "You guys, go to Jingyang Palace and tell the rest of the people that the Night Pearl has been found and there's no need to search anymore."

Qin An asked curiously, "Jingyang Palace, is this where Concubine Yu moved to?"

Leader: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Qin An heard that it was Jingyang Palace where Concubine Yu lived, and thought to himself, if I go there, maybe I will have a chance to meet Haitang! It has been so long since we last met, I wonder how she is doing now, even if I can only see her from a distance...

So Qin An volunteered and said, "Lead the way, I will go with them!"

The leader took a look at Qin An and knew that he was a hard-working person. It was thanks to him that they were able to find the place today. He said, "Okay, you are efficient. Go with them!"

Qin An was overjoyed and said, "Yes!"

So Qin An went to Jingyang Palace with other people.

Jingyang Palace

The guards inside were still searching until Qin An came and said, "No need to search! We found the item!"

People stopped doing it one after another.

Xiao Zhongzi was standing outside the yard. When he heard Qin An say that the thing was found, he felt relieved. The queen had been running around for this matter, and I, Yingcan, had suffered a lot for this, but finally the truth came out.

Xiao Zhongzi said happily, "Did you find the thing? That's great! I'll go report it to my queen."

After saying that, Xiao Zhongzi went to inform Song Qingwan.

After hearing this, Song Qingwan stood up excitedly and said to Haitang, "Finally found it. Let's see how some people dig their own graves this time."

Haitang quickly supported Song Qingwan and said, "Your Highness, please slow down. I will accompany you to take a look."

Song Qingwan "Okay!"

As she spoke, Haitang helped Song Qingwan out and saw Qin An head on.

Qin An's eyes were filled with joy and strong love as he looked at Haitang passionately.

When Haitang saw that it was Qin An, she felt mixed emotions. She had used him in the past, and now she still felt too ashamed to see him.

Song Qingwan asked, "Did you find the thing? Where did you find it?"

Qin An then turned his gaze away from Haitang and replied, "Your Majesty, it has been found. It was found in Concubine Ru's Jiahe Palace."

Then he looked at Haitang confidently and said, "I found it!"

Haitang couldn't help laughing when she saw Qin An's smug look.

Song Qingwan praised, "You guys are really good. The guards we sent last time didn't find it!"

Qin An said mysteriously, "If it weren't for my ability, Your Majesty would never have guessed where Xiao Kangzi hid the things."

Haitang asked doubtfully, "Huh? Where is he hiding?"

Qin An smiled and said, "He actually hid in a pair of stinky boots, and covered them with a pair of pitch-black socks. No one else noticed it, but I found it!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Haitang pouted and said, "Then your hands must be smelly too."

Qin An was afraid that Haitang would despise him, so he quickly denied it, "No, no, I washed it the first time I found it!"

"But Xiao Kangzi was so bold that he stole the Night Pearl and hid it in such a filthy place. His sin is really grave."

Xiao Zhongzi couldn't help but say, "That's right, adults are so interesting to talk about. If there are any follow-ups or new things, don't forget to share them with us~"

Qin An smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Yupin, the servants will leave first!"

Song Qingwan gestured, "Okay, go ahead."

Before Qin An left, he looked back at Haitang reluctantly before leaving.

After returning to the house, Song Qingwan asked, "Is this the fellow villager you mentioned last time?"

Haitang nodded, "My lady, it's him."

Song Qingwan said, "He is tall and strong, speaks humorously, is down-to-earth and motivated, and is very insightful. He is indeed good."

Haitang said uncomfortably, "Madam, why are you praising him..."

Song Qingwan smiled and said, "Nothing!"

Although Concubine Ru tried to delay, those people were waiting for her in Jiahe Palace, and she had no choice but to follow them.

Zuo Wenyi felt that something was wrong, and after everyone had dispersed, she hurried back to Chengping Palace.

The things were found in Jiahe Palace, and Xiaokangzi was brought before the emperor for interrogation.

When Concubine Ru arrived, Xiaokangzi was kneeling on the ground, looking timid, while Concubine Qing was sitting next to the emperor, looking disappointed in him.

Rupin bowed and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to His Majesty and to Concubine Qing."

Xiao Rui had a cold expression on his face and said nothing, and Concubine Ru did not dare to stand up either.

It was Concubine Qing who broke the silence first and asked, "Xiao Kangzi, the night-shining pearl was found in your room. What do you have to say?"

Xiao Kangzi looked at Rupin guiltily. Rupin glared at him and turned her head away pretending not to see anything.

Xiao Kangzi had no choice but to bow his head and answer, "Your servant...Your servant does not know..."

Xia Lufa asked, "The thing was in your boots, and you didn't know it. Could it be that someone put it there for you?"

Xiao Kangzi rode his donkey down the slope and said, "Master Xia... maybe someone really framed me, who knows..."

Xiao Rui said to Rupin, "An unrelated person has entered Jiahe Palace. Don't you know, Rupin?"

Xiao Rui had a blank expression on his face, cold eyes, and a tone mixed with a hint of majesty. Concubine Ru was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

Yes. Rupin thought, what Xiaokangzi said proves that there are some messy people in Jiahe Palace! She is the emperor's concubine, and if there are irrelevant people in her palace, what will the emperor think of her...

Rupin denied it again and again, "Your Majesty, no, no, there is no unrelated person coming in or out of Jiahe Palace!!"

Xiao Rui's gaze fell on Xiao Kangzi again.

Xia Lu said loudly, "Empress Ru has denied it, and you still dare to make up stories. This is in front of the emperor, how can you lie!"

"Tell me now, and I can leave you with an intact body!"

Concubine Qing also pretended to be a good person and said, "How could this happen? I see that you have a kind face and don't look like someone who would steal. What on earth happened?"

"Is there any hidden secret?"

Xiao Rui interrupted, "Princess Qing, please stop speaking well of him. You have a kind heart, so you naturally look at others with kindness, but you can't judge a person by his appearance!"

"Say!"

Xiao Kangzi replied tremblingly, "It was Doctor Chen..."

Concubine Ru, who was standing by, was the first one who didn't believe it. She looked at Xiao Kangzi in surprise, wondering how he could have tied it to Doctor Chen.

Xiao Rui asked, "Doctor Chen?"

Xiao Kangzi replied, "Your Majesty... It was Doctor Chen from the Imperial Hospital! I found it behind him... I didn't steal it!"

Xia Lu questioned, "Then why didn't you admit it earlier and endure this physical pain?"

Xiao Kangzi said, "That thing is here with me... I dare not say it, it was Doctor Chen! After he finished treating the Fifth Prince, I sent him out and found it next to him!"

Concubine Qing immediately said, "Send Doctor Chen over."
