....




Shen Zhiyan picked up the tea cup and drank the tea,

"The more I think about it, the more it seems that we are missing some clues...
But Your Highness can rest assured that I have ordered the servants of the Dali Temple to investigate the Blood Jade origin, and I will return to the Dali Temple to ask them later."



Murong Ci pondered for a moment, and said,

"Do you also think that the ballad is weird?"



"You mean that the ballad might have a predictive effect?"

"If it's really a prediction of future events, then the things that will happen next are...."
She said with certainty,

"Rain falling from all over the sky...
Cannibal fish feeding on humans...
.....
Could someone be eaten by a fish in a few days?"



"Anyway, let's eat before we think about it.
I'm so hungry that my chest feels reverted on my back."
He wailed,

"And what if it rains in the next few days anyway?
What's so strange about rain?"



She couldn't tell why, but she had a really bad feeling about it...

At this moment, the waiter brought food at their room and they started eating hungrily.
After eating and drinking, they left Deyuelou Restaurant.
Murong Ci decided to go back to the Palace to ask the old jade-smith about the Blood Jade.

Shen Zhiyan decided to go back to the Dali Temple to ask his subordinates if they found anything else.
Before leaving he smiled as clear as the blue sky, and said

"At dusk, I will pay you a visit at the East Palace and bring the beef I mentioned before.
I'll personally prepare the beef for Your Royal Highness to try."



....



She returned to the East Palace and sent someone to summon the old jade-smith of court.
After changing her clothes, she lay on the brocade and closed her eyes for a while.

The old jade-smith has been serving jade in the palace for most of his life, and his craftsmanship can be regarded as the top in Luoyang City.
He tossed and looked at the Blood Jade carefully.
His wrinkled face was filled with surprise, and his hands trembled because of the excitement,

"Your Royal Highness, this is the best Blood Jade I have ever seen in my entire life."



"Can you see where this Blood Jade came from?"



"Blood jade are extremely rare and precious, and the place of origin has always been a mystery.
But this humble jade-smith can conclude that we can't make this kind of Blood Jade nowadays."
The old jade-smith was still excited,

"Your Highness, where did you get this Blood Jade?"

"You don't need to pay attention to that."
Murong Ci couldn't reveal any clue...
