"Miss Yan, although our friendship is not shallow, we still need to know the laws of the country and the rules of the family. If we do something wrong, we will naturally be punished. " Liang He didn't look like he was going to buy it. He didn't even look at Yan Ling.

Yan Ling seemed to be in a hurry. He quickly said, "Your Highness, my younger sister already knows her wrongs. She's still young …"

Being young, these words were indeed an omnipotent reason. But at this time, Yan Ling spoke out. But there was a hint of sarcasm. This was because everyone in the outside world knew that Yan Ling and Yan Shuang were twin sisters from the same mother.

Yan Shuang seemed to feel a little awkward as well, but she went along with what Yan Ling said. "It's just that I'm not sensible. I'm begging the Crown Prince. For my sister's sake, let me go this time."

Liang He sneered in his heart. He had clearly seen just how malicious Yan Shuang was before. With just this alone, how could he possibly spare Yan Shuang? It was just that … He hadn't thought that Yan Shuang would be shameless to this extent.

"This …" Liang He seemed as if he wanted to say something, but a ruckus suddenly came from outside.

Liang He immediately stood up. Subconsciously, he felt that something wasn't right and ran outside. Naturally, the others also followed after Liang He when he moved.

By the time Liang He had rushed outside, he discovered that the heavily guarded guards had been turned upside down. This caused him to be shocked for a moment.

"What's going on? "Where's the jade pendant?" Liang He asked with an ashen face.

"Return... "In reply to His Highness the Crown Prince, someone suddenly appeared and injured us just now, stealing the jade pendant." That person seemed to feel ashamed. Even though his words were on the tip of his tongue, it was difficult for him to say it out loud.

Liang He had not expected that he would make such a mistake when the jade pendant was already in his hands. He had raised so many people, but now they were all useless people.

"A bunch of trash. So many people can't even guard a jade pendant, what's the use of me asking you?" Liang He was instantly infuriated.

Although he still looked refined and polite from afar, anyone familiar with him could tell that the Crown Prince was truly angry this time. Furthermore, he was quite angry.

The few people kneeling below were a bit apprehensive, but there was nothing to complain about. Although everything had happened so quickly and that person was extremely skilled in martial arts, there were actually so many people who had their things snatched away right under their noses.

Even if the Crown Prince didn't blame them, they would still feel guilty and ashamed to face others. Rather than that, it would be better to take a beating and feel comfortable.

"This subordinate knows his wrongs. I beg the crown prince to give us a chance to atone for our deeds." The person who had been keeping the embroidered box just now lowered his head and said.

Liang He coldly snorted. He indifferently said, "Now that he has run away and lost his jade pendant, tell me, will you atone for your deeds? What will you use to atone for your deeds?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, although that person was able to escape, he was injured by your subordinate's stab. Someone has already gone to chase him, I believe we can catch him." That person's face was flushed red as he felt angry at the person who took the jade pendant from him.

When Liang He heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. This jade pendant was not only related to him, but also to Yan Ling. No matter what, he must not lose. In the end, Liang He had been careless this time. If he had brought the jade pendant to his side, he definitely would not have encountered such a situation.

"Chase after him now! No matter what, we have to find that person and take back the jade pendant." Liang He knew that his subordinates were not useless. Naturally, he would not scold them harshly.

"Your Highness, this old subject can also send people to search for it. I only hope that Your Highness can overturn today's events and treat it as if I've never seen Shuang'er before." Prime Minister Yan suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Liang He couldn't help but clench his teeth, and his heart was filled with dissatisfaction. However, at this point, the jade pendant had been lost. If he continued to tangle with Prime Minister Yan, things would become much more troublesome.

Although Prime Minister Yan didn't seem like he would do anything on the surface, he was actually defending his second daughter from time to time. If they really forced him into a corner, he was afraid that he would be pushed to the brink and cause trouble in the dark. At that time, things would not be so easy to deal with.

Moreover, if he really wanted to take care of Yan Shuang, then there would be plenty of chances in the future. But regarding the jade pendant, the Emperor had given him a month's time. His top priority was naturally to find the murderer.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liang He made his decision. Although he was slightly unwilling in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, the powers that the Prime Minister had in mind would probably not be few. If they could really get his help, then things would progress more smoothly.

"What is the Prime Minister saying? If love is wrong, it can be changed, but it cannot be changed." "Now that the jade pendant has been stolen by the thieves, it is most important for me to find a way to get it back. Why would I make things difficult for the second lady at this time?" Liang He said with a smile.

When Yan Shuang discovered that the jade pendant had been stolen, she felt her heart being lifted. She unconsciously became even more afraid. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would actually let him off.

Suddenly, Yan Shuang felt grateful towards the person who had snatched the jade pendant, or perhaps it was a blessing for her.

"However …" Liang He's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing them look at him, Liang He continued, "The Emperor only gave me one month. If we can't find the real culprit or hand over the jade pendant, then the Prime Minister will have to think it over for himself."

After everyone had left, Liang He's expression suddenly became heavy. He felt that this matter wasn't that simple. Why would someone suddenly steal this jade pendant?

"Did you notice it too?" There seems to be something fishy going on tonight. " Yan Ling asked with a frown.

"It is indeed a bit strange. Even if it was bestowed by the Emperor, it is only a jade pendant. It is not a Gold Medallion for Life and Death. How could it attract so much attention?" Liang He voiced out his thoughts.

"That's right. If Yan Shuang was jealous of me, it would be understandable if she stole the jade pendant. But why did he take such a huge risk and steal the jade pendant from us?" Yan Ling did not seem to understand either.

"Do you know the origin of this jade pendant? I just don't think it's that simple. " Liang He suddenly seemed to have thought of something as he hurriedly asked Yan Ling.

Yan Ling shook his head helplessly. It had only been a day since the jade pendant had fallen into his hands. Only a few people had carefully examined it. How could Yan Ling know the origins of the Emperor's gift?

"Previously in the great hall, didn't the Emperor say that the Third Prince meticulously searched for this place and gave it to him?" If you want to talk about the origin of this matter, shouldn't you ask the Third Prince? " Yan Ling suggested.

"Liang Yi …" For some reason, he suddenly recalled the incident at the Lotus Flower Lantern Association.
