Chapter 454 - 454 Wordless Letter
454 Wordless Letter
Jiang Ying looked at the envelope. The recipient’s name was not written on it. There was a wax seal on the back of the envelope, and it was obvious that the emperor had not touched the letter.
“This letter appeared in the imperial study last night. I asked the servants, but they didn’t see anyone suspicious enter. I was worried that there was something strange about this letter, so I didn’t open it,” the emperor said.
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that Ning Yue had given him a pair of rubber gloves and a mask a few days ago. He carried these rubber gloves with him. After thinking for a while, he put on the mask and gloves.
“Imperial Brother, why don’t you let me take a look?” he said.
“What equipment is this? It looks so convenient. Do you have more?” the emperor asked.
“Yueyue gave this to me. Her master probably gave it to her.” Jiang Ying didn’t want to say anything else.
Hearing Jiang Ying’s tone, the emperor shrugged. Since it was Gu Yu’s, there was nothing he could do.
Jiang Ying carefully opened the envelope, but there was not a word on it. He showed it to the emperor, who lost interest.
“Help me deal with this letter. Don’t let anyone know that someone has entered my imperial study,” the emperor said.
“Okay.” Jiang Ying put the letter into his bag. After chatting with the emperor for a while, he planned to leave the palace.
“Aren’t you staying for lunch? It’s been a long time since the two of us ate together,” the emperor asked.
“No, I still have to tell Yueyue about this.” Jiang Ying pointed at the letter he had put in his bag.
“Alright.” The emperor did not force Jiang Ying to stay.
Jiang Ying hurried out of the palace with the letter and envelope. When he returned to the Ning family, he told Ning Yue what had happened.
Ning Yue frowned. Who would go through so much trouble to enter the palace just to place a letter without words in the imperial study?
“Jiang Ying, if you don’t mind, can you show me that letter? I’ll study it before returning it to you,” Ning Yue said.
“I thought so too, but I can’t say anything in front of my brother. Coincidentally, he asked me to take care of this letter, so I thought I’d take it out first.” As Jiang Ying spoke, he took out the letter and envelope from his pouch.
At this moment, he was still wearing rubber gloves. Ning Yue looked at them and took out another pair of gloves and a mask for Jiang Ying. “Take them. These are all disposable items. If it’s not necessary, it’s best not to use them in front of others, lest those people have ill intentions.”
Disposable masks and gloves were something that did not exist in this era. If others knew their use, they would probably be fought over by some powerful people.
Those people had many more enemies. With these two things, their lives would be guaranteed to a certain extent. It would be strange if they didn’t snatch them frantically.
At the moment, she had no intention of mass producing the items. After all, there were technical difficulties.
“Alright, I understand. I still have something to do later. I’ll leave this letter to you,” Jiang Ying said and took what Ning Yue gave him.
“Alright, I’ll tell you when I’m done studying it,” Ning Yue said.
After Jiang Ying left, Ning Yue began to study it in her room. It was not until lunch that she finally solved the mystery.
The letter was coated with a special potion. The words could only be seen when it was hot.
Initially, Ning Yue wanted to tell Jiang Ying about this immediately, but when she came out, she found out that he had already gone out and had not returned.
“Yueyue, why don’t we wait for Prince Jiang to eat together?” Madam Liu asked her.
Ning Yue shook her head. “There’s no need to wait for him. Let’s eat first. Just heat some food in the pot for him later.”
“Alright, then I’ll save his share.” Madam Liu went to the kitchen to keep herself busy again.
After lunch, Jiang Ying had yet to return. Ning Yue waited until it was close to dinner, but there was still no sign of him. She was a little anxious.
“Baili!” She called Baili over. “Send a few people to look for Jiang Ying. He hasn’t returned for so long. I’m very worried about him,” Ning Yue said.
If it would take Jiang Ying a long time to do something, he would definitely tell her. However, it was still so late, and there was no news of Jiang Ying. She was worried that something had happened to him.
“Yes, I’ll go now.” Seeing that Ning Yue was very worried, Baili did not dare to delay and immediately brought people along to look for Jiang Ying.
