Story of Yanxi Palace

Chapter 60.2: Where is the precious relic

 Consort Chun, with a sharp eye, frowned and said: “No, where is the precious relic on the pagoda?”

   It was only then that the crowd realised that something was missing from the tower, the most important thing of all.

   It was something the Empress Dowager had been searching for for years, more valuable than anything else in the room, how could it be lost so easily?

   “Noble Ladies, don't worry.” Wei Yingluo smiled calmly at the crowd, “This lowly servant was afraid of a bad transport, she took the precious relic from the glazed pagoda and transported them separately!”

   Nara Chunxue smiled unnoticeably and then, still looking as sagacious as the Empress, asked: “Where is the precious relic now?”

   Wei Yingluo looked at her and said: “Isn't it in your possession?”

   Nara Chunxue's face paled.

   “Nonsense.” She pinched herself quietly to regain her composure, “How could the precious relic be on me?”

   “What I did was not a blindfold, it was a spatial retrieval technique, naturally it is on you.” Wei Yingluo said, as she approached her, “If you don't believe me, I'll take the precious relic out now.”

   Nara Chunxue was already in a state of panic, now seeing her coming towards her, she immediately panicked, her right hand subconsciously clenched her left cuff.

   Wei Yingluo, who had been watching her, did not miss this small movement and immediately reached out, grabbed her sleeve and despite her struggle, pulled out a small scented capsule in a couple of seconds.

   “How dare you!” Nara Chunxue, not knowing whether to be afraid or angry, blushed.

   Wei Yingluo unzipped the capsule, reveals the Buddha's relic inside and laughed and said: “Is it right here?”

   The crowd felt wonderful, they didn't spare their applause, beside the Empress, Mingyu and Zhenzhu both breathed a sigh of relief, especially Zhenzhu, who almost fell to her knees as her legs weakened but Mingyu was there beside her and pulled her back quickly.

   “It's been a long time coming, don't you dare make a mistake.” Mingyu whispered.

   “Yes, yes.” Zhenzhu wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at Wei Yingluo in the distance with some admiration, “Thanks to Sister Yingluo...”

   Mingyu looked at Wei Yingluo in the middle of the scene with a complicated look in her eyes, she saw her remove the golden shears from her waist and cut the yellow silk with a click, then with a wave of her hand, the shredded satin flew into the sky like snow and when it landed, it was incredibly lined up in four big letters, Longevity and Prosperity

   A perfect end to the feast.

   Amidst the applause, Nara Chunxue returned to Noble Consort Hui in disbelief and was about to explain, when Noble Consort Hui spoke coldly: “This Palace Mistress has given you the opportunity, you’re working for this Palace Mistress and you can't even do a little job like that, get off!”

   Nara Chunxue bowed her head and withdrew, thinking to herself: “I have offended the Empress and now I have upset Noble Consort Hui, now there is only one chance... The Emperor likes my gift, he has asked me to sleep tonight, I must take this chance no matter what!”

   With this in mind, she fixed her eager eyes on Hongli.

   Little did she know, while she was looking at Hongli and a pair of eyes were also looking at her.

   “Yingluo.” Mingyu and Zhenzhu greeted her, Mingyu hesitated for a moment and finally said, with a little twinge, “This time... Thank you so much.”

   “No need.” Wei Yingluo withdrew his gaze and smiled at them both, “Just in time, I need your help with something...”
