Yun Shang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuqin. Although she felt a little disgusted when she mentioned Liu Fei, she did not dodge, because she was afraid that Yuqin's words did not make any false. But was this really what Liu Fei did? Yun Shang pondered for a moment before asking: "Did the Supreme Emperor obey Concubine Liu Fei back then?"

Yuqin shook her head: "The Supreme Emperor is good to Concubine Liu, but she is definitely not obedient. At that time, there were more than Concubine Liu, Concubine Yun Guifei, Concubine Shen Shu, Concubine Wang De and Concubine Liu in Yunqi Palace. The four of them were almost equal in the harem. The Supreme Emperor even made the servants feel a little cold when he was about to Concubine Liu. But..."

Yuqin paused slightly, frowned, and thought for a long time before she said, "However, the attitude of the Supreme Emperor changed a little after Concubine Liu became pregnant. She was much better at Concubine Liu than before, and even the Empress felt a little jealous. Concubine Liu had been pregnant twice before, and both had a fertility. Concubine Liu always felt that someone was secretly dealing with her. However, during her pregnancy with the Seventh Prince, it was very smooth and almost nothing happened."

Yun Shang narrowed his eyes. From Yuqin's words, Yun Shang could know a few information. Xia Huanyu attached great importance to Concubine Liu's child, and Concubine Liu was able to successfully protect the child. It is very likely that Xia Huanyu secretly used a method to protect Concubine Liu's belly.

However, Concubine Liu had two children before, but Xia Huanyu was protecting her. This shows that the reason why Xia Huanyu protected the child in Concubine Liu's belly was not because she liked Concubine Liu.

Then why? Yun Shang's eyes were full of doubt. When he remembered what the Wenpo's husband said, he hurriedly said: "Do you still remember that during the time when Liu Fei gave birth, there were other people in the palace who were pregnant and were about to give birth?"

Yuqin shook her head, thought for a while, then shook her head: "No, I remember that no other concubines in the palace were pregnant and labored during that period."

"Maybe, it's not a concubine." Yun Shang quickly added.

Yuqin was stunned, with a little doubt in her eyes, as if she didn't understand what Yun Shang meant. She thought for a long time before shook her head. After a while, she spoke hesitantly with points: "There is definitely no concubines or palace maids, but..."

Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at Yuqin. Yuqin thought for a while before saying, "The Empress talked about other people being pregnant and laboring, but I suddenly remembered that something strange happened in the palace at that time, that was, a low-level talented person in the palace had a strange disease and had a very big belly. I and other palace ladies had talked privately at that time, saying that his belly looked like a woman about to give birth."

After saying that, Yuqin hurriedly said, "I just heard the Empress ask about this, and suddenly remembered it and mentioned it casually. By the way, not long after, I thought about it. It must be that Empress Liu gave birth to the Seventh Prince for a month. I heard that the eunuch was dead. Later, I heard from other palace people that when the eunuch died, his belly was already flat. I don't know why, but it scared us very much. It was the first time I heard of such a strange thing."

When Yun Shang heard Yuqin say this, he narrowed his eyes and thought a little.

After pausing for a while, Yun Shang asked again: "Do you know that all the palace maids who served Concubine Liu in the Jade Palace, except you, have died?"

When Yuqin heard this, her body trembled suddenly, and she quickly lowered her head and responded: "I have been in the washing clothes bureau for more than 20 years and have no idea about anything outside. I don't know that there is still this matter."

Yun Shang smiled, then stopped asking more questions, and said lightly: "I feel that it is because someone is afraid that someone who has been serving by Liu Fei has revealed some secrets, so he is killing people to silence him. Although you were sent to the Washing Clothes Bureau by Liu Fei, you have saved your life because of this. Now that you have come out of the Washing Clothes Bureau, you can stay in the Washing Clothes Bureau honestly. Don't talk about you serving by Liu Fei Fei, otherwise if something happens, I will not be able to save you."

Yuqin bit her lip and didn't say anything. Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "Go down, go back and report to you in charge, just say that everything is fine in Yun Shang, I like it very much."

Yuqin responded quickly, bent down and bowed, and retreated.

After Yuqin left the inner hall, Yun Shang lay down on the soft couch, frowning tightly.

"Empress do you think Yuqin is telling a lie?" Qin Yi asked softly.

Yun Shang shook his head, smiled and said, "I dare not assert that I didn't say anything, but she must have concealed something. If it were her words, when Concubine Liu gave birth, Xia Huanyu ordered the guards to drive everyone in the Jade Palace out of the Jade Palace. The palace servants in the Jade Palace knew nothing, knew nothing, and saw nothing. Then, how could they be destroyed?"

Yun Shang thought about it, and shook his head: "It makes sense here. I dare to assert that all the palace ladies in the Jade Palace must have known something, and Yuqin must have known it, but they just didn't say it."

"Empress, what should we do?" Qin Yi's eyes were a little thoughtful, and then she said for a while: "Or, I will make some secret trouble with Yuqin. She thought it was done by the Supreme Emperor and would definitely find a way to save her life. She, a palace servant who had just come out of the washing clothes bureau, had nothing. At this time, she could only ask for help from you, Empress."

Yun Shang laughed when she heard this: "No one knows what she has come out now, and if she doesn't say it, no one will know that she has served Concubine Liu before. At this time, if someone secretly stumbling at her, the first person she doubts must be Xia Huanyu but me."

Qin Yi stopped talking after hearing this and sighed, "This matter is really difficult."

Yun Shang raised his eyes with a smile and looked at Qin Yi: "This is not like what Aunt Qin Yi said. Aunt Qin Yi has been with me, from the time I was eight years old to now 18 years old, it has been ten years since I was eighteen. From the Ningguo Palace facing the plot of the queen and Hua Jing, to Ningguo Temple, I accompanied me to learn various things, and then returned to the palace, and accompanied me all the way to now. I have never seen any difficulties. What is this?"

"That's true." Qin Yi also laughed.

Perrin's report came from outside: "Empress, Madam Qiu is here."

Yun Shang stretched out his hand and asked Qin Yi to help her sit up before singing, "Come in."

Madam Qiu walked in, followed by several palace maids, all holding trays covered with red cloth in her hands. Madam Qiu took the maids to salute Yun Shang. After Yun Shang asked them to get up, Madam Qiu spoke: "Empress, the Interior Office has prepared a batch of wine utensils for use on New Year's Eve, please check it out."

Office of the Interior?

Yun Shang's eyebrows and eyes moved, and nodded and said, "Take it over, I'll take a look."

Madam Qiu stood aside and asked several palace maids to come up. The maids lifted the red cloth on their faces. Madam Qiu introduced the person one by one from left to right: "This is used by ordinary court officials, made of bronze, and carved on it. It is made of Fu. This is used by the wife of the imperial decree, made of white jade, and the pattern carved on it is plum blossom pattern. This is used by the imperial concubines and princesses, made of jade, and carved on it is hibiscus. This is used by the princes, and carved on it is a kirin. This is used by His Majesty and the Queen, made of gold, His Majesty is carved on it is a dragon, and the Queen's Empress is carved on it is a phoenix."

"I just saw that these cups are all very well-made and are excellent works." Madam Qiu said with a smile.

"A great work?" Yun Shang looked at the cups placed in the plates with great interest when he heard this, and then ordered Qin Yi: "Help me up and let me take a closer look at the workmanship of these cups."

Qin Yi quickly responded and stood up with Yun Shang. Yun Shang walked to the palace maids, looked at them one by one, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "This workmanship is very good, but..."

Yun Shang paused, picked up two cups, turned around and looked at Madam Qiu with a smile: "But why am I looking at the dragon's claws on His Majesty's cup, but there are four claws? And the Qilin on the prince's cup, but there are five claws? Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs going to prepare to rebel?"

Yun Shang said, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He threw the two cups in his hand to the ground, making a violent "bang". Yun Shang snorted coldly, walked back to the chair and sat down, and said loudly: "Come, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and bring Li Fuhua to the palace!"

Everyone in the room was stunned. For some reason, Yun Shang was still smiling at the cup. In a blink of an eye, the situation turned so sharply and turned into this.

The guards outside quickly responded.

Seeing this, Qin Yi quickly picked up the two cups that Yun Shang threw away and looked carefully. Then she frowned and said, "Manager Li from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also an old man, why did he make such a mistake?"

"Old man?" Yun Shang snorted coldly, his face full of contempt: "Yes, it's the old man in the palace. It's because he's the old man that he's so bold. Is Li Fuhua planning to rebel?"

Yun Shang's voice was quite loud, I was afraid that even the people who were serving in the outer hall could hear it clearly.

Before Yun Shang could wait for a long time, the guards escorted Li Fuhua in. Li Fuhua seemed to be a little displeased with the guards behind him, and kept struggling. When he arrived in front of Yun Shang, Li Fuhua said with a little aggrieved expression: "What's wrong with the Empress? What did the slave do wrong?"
