Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 9: Playing with Zhuo Yue in the Water, 1 False Joy

After receiving the letter, Ning Yao led the team and headed towards the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum according to the instructions of the letter. Along the way, the path was rugged and difficult to walk on with weeds and thorns. Everyone supported each other and faced many obstacles together. During this tense journey, Ning Yao did not forget to use her humorous nature and told jokes from time to time, so that everyone could feel a little relaxed and happy in this tense atmosphere. "Everyone, work harder and hold on for a while, we will reach our destination soon!" Ning Yao waved her arms to cheer everyone up. "Empress, you are really our spiritual pillar!" A soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile. "Haha, as long as we think in one direction and work together, no difficulties can stop us!" Ning Yao responded with a hearty smile. Encouraged by Ning Yao, everyone's morale was high, their steps became lighter, and they soon arrived in the depths of the imperial mausoleum. In the depths of this imperial mausoleum, there is a secret room full of mechanisms. Everyone pushed open the door of the secret room with great expectation, but what appeared before their eyes was only a new anonymous letter and some inconspicuous antiques. "What's going on? Where is the Jade Dragon Pendant?" Ning Yao frowned and asked with a puzzled look on her face. "This... How is this possible? How could the Jade Dragon Pendant not be here?" Everyone's eyes widened, all with a look of disbelief. "Queen, please read this letter." A soldier handed the letter to Ning Yao carefully. Ning Yao took the letter and read it carefully with a focused look. There was only a short sentence on the letter: You are too slow, the Jade Dragon Pendant has been taken away by me. "This... How is this possible?" Ning Yao's hands trembled, with a look of disbelief on her face. "Queen, could this be a trap set by someone on purpose?" A soldier asked suspiciously. "It shouldn't be. The handwriting of this letter is exactly the same as the previous letter. It should be written by the same person." Ning Yao analyzed calmly. "Then what should we do now?" Everyone looked at each other, all with a look of confusion. "Let's go back first." Ning Yao said helplessly. The anonymous letter was full of jokes. "You guys are just like the monkeys playing in the water and catching the moon. The Jade Dragon Pendant is like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. It seems to be right in front of you, but you can never touch it." After reading it, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "The person who wrote the letter is really too much!" A soldier said angrily. "That's right, it's too hateful!" Everyone echoed angrily. Ning Yao looked at the letter. On the surface, she seemed to respond with a joking attitude, but her heart was full of deep frustration. "It seems that the person who wrote the letter is definitely not an ordinary person." Ning Yao thought to herself. On the way back to the palace, Shen Yu kept telling light jokes and comforting Ning Yao with encouraging words. "My beloved concubine, don't be discouraged. We will definitely find the Jade Dragon Pendant." Shen Yu smiled and said firmly. "Yes, Queen, we will definitely find the Jade Dragon Pendant." Everyone hurriedly agreed. "Haha, Your Majesty, I was just feeling emotional for a moment." Ning Yao forced a smile. "My beloved, don't think too much. Let's go back to the palace and have a good rest. After recuperating, we will continue to look for the Jade Dragon Pendant." Shen Yu said with concern. "Okay, I will obey your majesty's order." Ning Yao nodded slightly and responded with a smile. Encouraged by Shen Yu, the originally depressed atmosphere of the team gradually improved. Everyone talked about how to find the Jade Dragon Pendant. "Queen, what do you think we should do next?" A soldier asked anxiously. "Let's go back first." Ning Yao said with a chuckle. Encouraged and supported by Shen Yu, Ning Yao decided to play the trick. She carefully planned and publicly held a "fake Jade Dragon Pendant Exhibition" and specially invited many dignitaries in the capital to come and watch. "Your Majesty, what do you think of my idea?" Ning Yao asked Shen Yu with a smile, looking expectant. Shen Yu smiled and responded, "My beloved, your idea is very good. I firmly believe that this plan will lead to the real murderer." "Haha, that's good. I sincerely hope that this method can work smoothly." Ning Yao said with a bright smile. On the day of the exhibition, Ning Yao arrived at the exhibition site early. The glimmer of the morning sun sprinkled on her delicate makeup, adding a bit of solemnity. "Queen, you are here." A soldier said respectfully. "Well, is everything ready?" Ning Yao asked seriously. "Reply to the Queen, everything is ready." The soldier replied respectfully. "Okay, that's good." Ning Yao nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face. After the exhibition began, people came one after another. The scene was very lively, people whispered to each other, and exclaimed one after another. "Wow, this jade dragon pendant is really beautiful!" An official widened his eyes and exclaimed. "Yes, this jade dragon pendant is so beautiful!" Everyone echoed. Just when everyone was immersed in the charming charm of the jade dragon pendant, suddenly, a soldier rushed in with a panic. "Empress, it's bad, the jade dragon pendant was stolen!" The soldier said in a trembling voice, panicked. "What? The jade dragon pendant was stolen?" Ning Yao's face suddenly changed, and she shouted angrily, "Go after it!" "Yes!" The soldiers took the order and hurried away. The exhibition site was instantly in chaos. Everyone's face was full of shock and disbelief. "This... How is this possible? How could the jade dragon pendant be stolen?" An official shouted in surprise. "Yes, how could this jade dragon pendant be stolen?" Everyone echoed, and the scene fell into a noisy. Ning Yao looked at the chaotic scene, frowned, and thought to herself: "What is going on? How could the jade dragon pendant be stolen? Did someone do it on purpose?"
