At that mont, Tie Dan also gathered his spirits, holding the Jade carefully, scrutinizing and pondering.
This piece is the Jade of Empress Dowager Liang, engraved with text using Divine Sense, docunting her life history until entering the Forbidden Palace, including family background and birth details.
Interestingly, the section replaced in the Jade records a trivial matter.
It roughly says that before entering the palace, the Immortal Emperor specifically dispatched an envoy with a Female Official to the General Mansion, observing the movents, inspecting hidden places without any concealnt. They were to observe the physique, stance, and deanor of the Liang Girl, even making her enter the boudoir for further disrobent and inspection of hidden parts.
The Liang Girl was a noble daughter of a prestigious family, sister to the General. Her brother was then a domineering power minister ruling the world; how could such disrespectful conduct be allowed? She imdiately refused with words and roared thunderously.
Helpless, the Female Official was forced to show the Imperial Sword, intimidating the Great General, saying that the official rituals of the palace decree inspection, whether you want it or not; once completed, you will be enshrined as Empress.
Thus, the Great General eventually "yielded," and the Liang Girl had no choice but to shed a few tears, close her eyes, turn her face inward, allowing the Female Official to inspect. Even the Gynecological details were ticulously recorded in the Jade.
Not only the ears, teeth, nose, eyes, eyebrows, hair density, and color, but even the shape and depth of the navel, shoulder width, waist thickness, arm elasticity, thigh and calf length, hand and finger size, foot and toe dinsions, body dinsions from pelvis to shoulders, and even bowing and chanting to inspect vocal cords. Of course, especially the shape and size of hidden private parts...
In short, the detailed body inspection of the Liang Girl is omitted here, but after repeated examination through observing, listening, questioning, cutting, and touching, with detailed asurents recorded, the premarital examination was finally completed.
Of course, after such tornt to the girl, the Immortal Emperor still gave the Great General due respect. He skipped ranks of beauties, and directly bestowed the title of Empress to the Liang Girl, dressing her in purple above and dark below, adorned with wigs, step shakes, eight phoenixes, nine orchids, twelve jewels, with jadeite shoes and stockings. Riding the ceremonial carriage, with heavy auspicious brocades and golden roots, carriages traveled on blue pathways. Blue curtains, decorative poles, gold leaf framing, gold-covered ends, adorned with early golden blossoms, riding the four steeds, dragon flags with nine strears.
Forty-six carriages followed, with phoenix flags in front, decorated carriages, royal gates with shields, nine-cloud banners, golden bells, yellow halberds. Tai Chang commanded, accompanied by five officials and Inspectors General Si Li, all in their official cars and sashes. Hu Ben Feather Forest Cavalry, Huang Sect symphonic gongs and trumpets, secondary female riders alongside, law enforcers before. Five Generals led cavalry, thousands of chariots and riders, leading to the Ziwei Treasure Vault, entering the palace. Records state that since Emperor Wu welcod an Empress, none were as grand as this.
That’s all recorded, nothing more.
But calculating this Jade section isn’t short, at least a third, likely the content is not just about the Liang Girl’s examination report...
So, Tie Dan sowhat understood.
What he is searching for isn’t a single piece but this fragnt of Broken Jade, or rather, the information hidden within the Jade.
What’s ’strange’, roughly isn’t the Jade, but that Liang Girl.
The crucial issue isn’t one or two monsters, but why they can beco monsters.
No need to care about ’what’ it is, as long as knowing ’why’, with the company’s ability, likely will know ’how to do’ it.
Therefore, while so are watching this Jade, others swiftly replaced the crucial information within the Jade.
Broken Jade... Tie Dan seems to know what the company is looking for...
Indeed, he truly knows because he once saw that Broken Jade in a dream.
In Huangfu Yi’s dream, on Pei Yuhuan’s neck, was that Kui Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant personally placed by the Eldest Princess.
Indeed, half a Jade becos a Pendant, recalling carefully, those three-piece Pendants, along with this fragnt of Jade, the pattern, color, size, even the missing dinsion are identical!
What’s more, the two won who touched that object turned into monsters, literally...
Moreover, upon closer thought, the process of transferring the Jade Pendant by the Eldest Princess to Pei Yuhuan, could it be the power of monsters indeed can be transferred and copied? No wonder it caught the company’s attention...
Initially, Tie Dan thought the issue was the Princess herself, her Immortal Venerable Bloodline’s body and her noble relative status. Pei Yuhuan also had the eligibility of palace concubine selection, seized by the company’s Heavenly Demon...
But now, looking at these Jades full of the room, countless beautiful won entered the deep palace throughout history, their beauty fleeting, their remains non-existent, why only these two turned into monsters?
It’s likely that Jade Pendant, is the key dium for transformation between beauty and monster.
For a mont, Tie Dan contemplated, reminisced carefully, also realizing when he went to grab the Princess initially, he indeed didn’t find that Jade on her. Later, under Nine Yin Mountain, with clothes stripped clean, still didn’t see any Pendant.
Could it be hidden inside her body? Or left in the cave?
Shouldn’t be, that Jade radiates five-colored glaze, immortal shine all around, pitch darkness in the cave, how could it be missed.
Perhaps it’s still in the palace? Or within the Treasure Vault?
No, it shouldn’t be either. This Jade seems to have been secretly replaced long ago, even before Empress Liang was deposed, how could it remain in storage.
Who could it be?
Eligible to enter the Ziwei Treasure Vault guarded by Combat Eunuchs, viewing the Jade of the deposed Empress, secretly arranging craftsn to imitate, seeking to replace it, must be a person deep within the Forbidden Palace.
