A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 871: Trust!
That night.
Xia Ruqing told Zhao Junyao about the wolf’s fang pattern.
"Emperor, Chenchen said this is the pattern on General Ye Tang’s body!"
Xia Ruqing handed the painting to Zhao Junyao.
Looking at it, Zhao Junyao immediately frowned.
"Are you sure?"
This Wolf Fang Pendant isn’t the same as the one on Princess Hai Feng?
If Ye Tang also has it, then her lineage...
Zhao Junyao found it hard to believe, his expression very serious.
Xia Ruqing also solemnly nodded.
"Correct..."
After pondering for half an afternoon, she finally understood.
Ye Tang’s lineage is most likely related to the Western Xia Kingdom.
If clarified, it would be a good thing!
Just not sure what Ye Tang went through back then.
How did she come from the Western Xia Kingdom...
"Emperor, the urgent matter now is to ask General Ye how much she remembers about her own lineage!"
Zhao Junyao nodded.
"You’re right!"
"What if she really is... a Western Xia person!"
"Clearing up the matter would mean she found her family!"
Xia Ruqing nodded.
"Exactly!"
Then frowned and said.
"Just hope she doesn’t get involved with that Prince Jin!"
No matter whose sister or daughter she might be?
Overall, the further away from Prince Jin, the better!
Zhao Junyao glanced at her, somewhat teasingly.
"Oh?!"
"Qingqing, why say that? Did you also see through it?"
Xia Ruqing replied directly without much thought.
"That’s obvious, Prince Jin practically has ’ambitious’ written all over his face!"
If not, they must be blind!
Zhao Junyao then lowered his head and tapped her on the forehead lightly.
"Alright, no matter how much they fight among themselves, it’s Western Xia’s problem, we don’t need to get involved!"
Of course.
The premise is not to touch the interests of the Great Chu Dynasty.
If the two countries get along well, we shall be good neighbors.
But if you dare to scheme against us, sorry, none of us are made of paper!
Xia Ruqing nodded again.
"Emperor is right!"
...
The next day.
Zhao Junyao personally ordered Ye Tang to be secretly brought to the Imperial Study Room for questioning.
With Zhao Junyao and Xia Tingfeng shielding her.
Ye Tang hadn’t suffered much in the past two days.
Just looked a bit unwell, as if somewhat fatigued.
Upon entering, she immediately knelt and paid respects.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
Zhao Junyao hurriedly helped her up personally.
Ye Tang seemed a bit fearful.
"Emperor, I am guilty!"
Zhao Junyao, however, smiled faintly.
"What crime do you have?"
Nothing more than falling into others’ trap.
Ye Tang lowered her head at his words.
"No matter what, I brought trouble to the Emperor and the Imperial Court; it is my mistake!"
Zhao Junyao smiled lightly.
"Alright, sit down!"
"This matter is not your fault! I called you here for a different reason this time!"
"A different reason?" Ye Tang was somewhat surprised.
Zhao Junyao then turned around and handed her the painting Chenchen had made.
"Have you seen this pattern?!"
Ye Tang picked up the pattern and was stunned after a single glance.
"Isn’t this..."
"Isn’t this on my body?"
Zhao Junyao looked at her.
"So it is you?!"
"Emperor, is there something wrong?" Ye Tang was somewhat puzzled.
Though she had been stationed near the embassy day and night, she occasionally met Princess Hai Feng and the others.
But such a small wolf fang ornament.
Firstly, it was too precious, usually not worn on the body.
Secondly, even if worn, it was just one among many dazzling pieces of jewelry.
Not obvious, rather inconspicuous.
Therefore, Ye Tang hadn’t paid attention.
At this moment, if not for the familiar mark on her body.
She would not have recognized it at first sight! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
However, even recognizing it, what then?
Ye Tang looked puzzled.
"Emperor, I have this pattern on my rear shoulder, I’ve had it since childhood!"
"No idea where the Emperor got it!"
"Or if there is any meaning!"
Hearing her admit it, Zhao Junyao nodded.
After a while, he slowly spoke.
"This is a Wolf Fang Pendant! Have you not seen it?"
Ye Tang shook her head, completely bewildered.
"What Wolf Fang Pendant, I have no idea!"
Zhao Junyao continued to explain.
"It is a token of the Western Xia Royal Family!"
"It is said that every royal offspring there is given a wolf fang ornament by the elders of the clan upon birth!"
"This Wolf Fang Pendant or Wolf Fang Ring represents their identity!"
"Once lost... the identity cannot be guaranteed!"
Ye Tang was shocked instantly.
"That serious, it must be well safeguarded!"
After a moment, she finally realized.
Connecting the wolf fang ornament, Western Xia, herself!
She suddenly understood and asked again.
"Emperor, do you now think I have blood ties with Western Xia?"
Zhao Junyao didn’t beat around the bush, he nodded.
"Correct!"
"How much do you remember about your childhood?"
"If your relatives really are from Western Xia!"
"Recognizing them now through this opportunity would also be... a wonderful thing!"
Ye Tang quickly shook her head.
"Emperor, you’re joking!"
"I am a native Great Chu person!"
"In my childhood, I was hunting in the dense forest with my father, who was very skilled in horseback archery!"
"Especially in archery!"
"Hitting the bullseye from a hundred paces was certainly not an empty boast!"
Zhao Junyao smiled faintly.
"So, you only remember hunting with your father as a child?!"
Ye Tang nodded.
"Yes!!"
"That’s why having a wolf fang pattern on me is normal, my father dealt with wolves, tigers, and leopards daily!"
"Perhaps simply because my father liked it, he tattooed it on me during my childhood!"
Zhao Junyao pondered for a moment.
"It’s possible, but..."
"Before figuring out this matter, we have another task!"
Ye Tang, somewhat impatient, was eager to know.
"What task?"
"Is it to find and bring justice to those who framed me?"
Inexplicably, carrying a medical decoction and becoming a criminal?!
Claiming poisoning?
Why not say you’re dying!
Causing me to spend two days in prison!
If she knew who wronged her, she wouldn’t let it go!
Zhao Junyao smiled, nodding.
"Yes! But you’re not entirely correct!"
"We must not only find the criminals but also understand why they framed you!"
Ye Tang heard this and was momentarily stunned.
"Indeed, Emperor, how you asked, I don’t understand either!"
"Why did they frame me?!"
What could they gain?!
Zhao Junyao thought for a moment, somewhat helpless.
"Don’t rush, I’ve already sent people to investigate!"
"Wait a bit longer, we should soon clear your name!"
Ye Tang nodded.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Zhao Junyao smiled softly.
"No need!"
"I’ve finished asking you questions today, you can go back now!"
"If something comes up, I will call you again!"
Ye Tang immediately cupped her fists.
"Yes, I thank the Emperor for his trust!"
"If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave!"
"Mm!"
