The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: The Strange Patterns Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This jade pendant was what she had come here to look for.

Previously, when she saw the pearl that belonged to the Jiang family and the one that the strange youth had given her, the two pearls formed a pattern together.

She felt that it was a little familiar.

Later on, she remembered that she had seen it before with Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan noticed her gaze and glanced at the jade pendant.

He smiled and asked, “Do you think this jade pendant isn’t compatible with my status?” Xia Muqing had the intention to test him, so she naturally went along with his question.

“I’m indeed curious why you have such a jade pendant with you, Your Highness.

You didn’t even take it off when you were bathing.

” Ye Qingxuan said meaningfully, “Not usually.

Today, I was afraid that someone would steal it.

” Xia Muqing was shocked.

How did he know that she wanted this? Dozens of thoughts waded through her mind when she suddenly saw another guest in the room.

Its billowing white fur was dyed black by the dust.

Gungun stumbled towards Xia Muqing and squeaked.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the ball of fur on the ground and sneered.

“The kind of pet indeed takes after its owner.

You’ve raised a mighty nightmare beast to become as stupid as a pig.

” Gungun naturally understood the mockery in his words.

It immediately bared its teeth and wanted to bite him, but Xia Muqing swiftly stopped it.

She had seen the flash of silver light in Ye Qingxuan’s hand just now.

Gungun came to look for her because someone had snuck into her room.

Xia Muqing knew that she wouldn’t be able to get her hands on the jade pendant today, so she decided to leave.

She carried Gungun to the window.

Ye Qingxuan suddenly asked, “Why aren’t you willing to marry me?” Xia Muqing turned around to look at him.

She wanted him to give up, so she said, “I already have someone I like.

I don’t think you’ll coerce me, Your Highness.

” With that, she leaped out of the window and left.

Ye Qingxuan murmured after a long while, “I want to coerce you.

COM Xia Muqing returned to the courtyard and treaded in carefully.

She didn’t find anything unusual and guessed that the person had already left.

Gungun jumped out of her arms and ran to the incense sticks, screeching twice.

Xia Muqing followed it and asked, “You’re saying that the person who entered touched this thing?” Gungun nodded.

Xia Muqing opened the lid of the joss stick.

It was filled with burnt ashes and there was nothing unusual.

She reached out and gently stirred the ashes.

Fine silver threads appeared on the surface.

At a glance, they looked like silver threads left behind by burning joss sticks.

However, Xia Muqing had never used any joss sticks.

She took out a strand of silver thread to check.

The silver on the thread was wrapped around the thread.

After peeling it, the true colors of the silver threads were exposed.

She looked at the black thread in her hand.

It was a type of medicinal herb.

It wasn’t poisonous and it didn’t have any harmful effects on the human body.

However, this person had gone through a lot of trouble to put this thing into her room.

There must be a purpose.

As for who did this, it was easy to guess.

It was either Xia Churan or Ruan Yu.

Xia Muqing collected all the silver threads in the incense burner and scurried out of the room.

She went to Xia Churan’s room and realized that she wasn’t there.

She went to Ruan Yu’s room and saw the lights from afar.

She leaped to the roof, lifted a tile, and looked down.

Inside the room were Ruan Yu and Xia Churan indeed.

That was why Xia Churan wasn’t in her room.

“Mother, is this safe?” Xia Churan asked.

With confidence on her face, Ruan Yu said, “Don’t worry.

The people I sent over just now have returned to report that the thing has been placed inside.

That little sl*t isn’t in the room.

I don’t know where she went to fool around.

” Xia Churan was still a little worried.

“What if King Zhennan Wang insists on helping her, and investigates this matter thoroughly?” Ruan Yu said proudly, “That’s my trick.

It doesn’t matter as that thing isn’t harmful.

Even if he finds out, it doesn’t matter.
