After sending the Empress Dowager away, Ning Yue looked at the small wooden box in her hand and was a little puzzled. Why would the Empress Dowager personally bring the jade pendants out?
Earlier, the Empress Dowager had given the two children jade pendants and said that she wanted to give them to Jiang Ying’s children. However, it was because the former emperor said that he wanted to give the jade pendant to his children.
Ning Yue was still very puzzled. She turned around and saw Jiang Ying standing behind her, looking in the direction where the Empress Dowager’s carriage had left.
“Jiang Ying, what’s wrong?” Ning Yue asked him.
Jiang Ying came back to his senses and smiled at her. “I don’t know what’s going on either. 1 keep feeling that something will happen when Imperial Grandmother goes back this time.”
“Why?” Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying in confusion.
Jiang Ying shook his head with a bitter smile. “I don’t know why. I just have this feeling. This doesn’t feel good.”
…..
“Why don’t you enter the palace more often to see Imperial Grandmother these few days?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying hummed softly. “Okay.”
“Let’s go in. It’s getting late. We’ll rest after taking a shower,” Ning Yue said.
“Okay,” Jiang Ying replied with a smile.
The two of them returned to their rooms and slept until midnight. Jiang Ying and Ning Yue were stunned when they suddenly heard the news of the Empress Dowager’s death.
The two of them packed up and entered the palace as quickly as possible.
The Retired Emperor, the Emperor, the Empress, and the current Empress Dowager were all standing in the previous Empress Dowager’s bedroom with mournful expressions.
The two of them walked up to everyone. When they saw Jiang Ying coming over, the emperor couldn’t control his tears. “Imperial Grandmother has left.”
Jiang Ying was stunned. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned when he really entered the palace and heard the news of the Empress Dowager’s death.
“Go pay your respects to Imperial Grandmother,” the emperor said.
The news of the Empress Dowager’s death spread throughout the country that night. The entire country mourned, and the funeral held was of the highest level.
After finishing the Empress Dowager’s funeral, Ning Yue finally had time to discuss the news of her death with Jiang Ying.
“Jiang Ying, the more I think about it these past few days, the more I feel that something is wrong. The emperor’s grandmother specially took those two jade pendants and said that the late emperor had left them for your children. However, I didn’t think too much about it at that time. I only thought that the emperor’s mother was too bored and wanted to come to our house to find an excuse, but now it seems that things aren’t that simple.”
It was true that the Empress Dowager was fun. If she wanted to come, she would have come to the house they had originally bought. Why would she wait until they moved into the Marquis’s Residence?
“At that time, I said that Imperial Grandmother’s condition was very strange. Actually, I really wanted to enter the palace with her, but in the end, I didn’t go…” Jiang Ying blamed himself.
If he followed her, would the situation be different?
Looking at Jiang Ying, Ning Yue quickly comforted him. “Don’t think too much. You can’t be blamed for this. None of us expected this.”
When she said this, Ning Yue also blamed herself because she had also realized that something was wrong, but for various reasons, she did not continue investigating.
These days, although it was said that the Empress Dowager was old and weak and could have naturally died of old age, Ning Yue had secretly taken a look. There was something strange about the Empress Dowager.
She had asked the doctor in the palace. The doctor said that because the Empress Dowager was old, she would more or less have some bumps and bruises.
Ning Yue did not believe it at all, but she was rather busy at that time. She did not have time to verify it at all because as the granddaughter of Marquis Dingyuan and Jiang Ying’s fiancA©e, she had to keep watch for the Empress Dowager with him.
Now that she thought about it, the injuries on the Empress Dowager’s corpse looked like she had been hit hard by something.
That severity was not something that could be achieved with a few bumps.
It was very strange for such an injury to appear on the Empress Dowager of a country.
After thinking about it, Ning Yue decided to tell Jiang Ying about her discovery.
Jiang Ying was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Ning Yue in disbelief. “Why didn’t the doctors notice anything wrong with Imperial Grandmother?”
It didn’t make sense, right?
“I’m not sure either. Do you want to tell your brother about this and investigate further?” Ning Yue asked..
