"Princess, princess..." Qin Meng hurried into Qingxin Palace, feeling extremely anxious, but saw that her master was still sleeping on the bed. She couldn't help but stamp her feet, gritted her teeth, and stepped forward to lift the quilt.
, "Princess, Princess Yunshang, something bad has happened!"
Yun Shang groaned, then slowly opened her eyelids, then closed them again, and said in a somewhat lazy voice, "What's wrong? At what time do you come to disturb me, princess? Huh?"
Qin Meng saw that she was about to fall asleep again, and quickly said, "Princess, don't sleep anymore, someone died in our Qingxin Palace!"
"Huh?" Yun Shang stiffened when he heard this and opened his eyes, "Someone is dead? Who is dead? How? Has anyone from the Supervisory Office come?"
Qin Meng saw that she finally woke up and said quickly, "The one who died was the pandan we were sweeping the floor with. He was probably drowned in the lake in front of our palace. He was found by a passing palace maid this morning.
..." Qin Meng paused and bit her lip, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it out loud.
Yun Shang said, "Anything else, tell me!"
Qin Meng gritted her teeth and said, "When I passed by just now, I heard the palace maids talking about Xianglan holding the princess's bracelet in her hand. Do you think it was you who did it?"
"My princess's bracelet?" Yun Shang sat up and tilted her head and said, "Are you sure you haven't heard that it's not something else, but a bracelet?"
Qin Meng nodded, "I'm sure you haven't heard about it. They are talking about the bracelet."
"It's a bracelet, and it was lost some time ago. It's the bracelet you like to wear the most, princess." Qin Yi's voice came from the door, and she was talking as she entered.
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "Really? Then I have to go and get the bracelet back. That is my favorite bracelet."
When Qin Meng heard this, she stamped her feet, feeling like she hated iron and said, "Princess, they all say that you are the murderer of Xianglan!"
Yun Shang turned her head and glanced at her, "How do you know she is not my princess? My reputation has never been very good..."
Qin Meng glanced at her, with a bit of disdain in her eyes, "If someone said before that the princess killed a slave, I might have believed it, but now I don't believe it anymore. Besides, no matter how powerful or cruel you are, princess, you are just a human being."
How can an eight-year-old child have the ability to kill someone..."
Yun Shang nodded, stood up, and motioned for her to get dressed. Qin Meng was still immersed in her own thoughts and did not react, but Qin Yi beside her shook her head, picked up the clothes and helped Yun Shang put them on.
"Yes, this princess is only eight years old, how can she have the ability to kill people? But you and Qinyi are already old enough. You can still kill one of them, so you must be my accomplices..."
Yun Shang did not forget to tease Qin Meng.
Qin Meng shuddered and looked at Yun Shang in horror, "I don't dare to kill anyone. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. How can I dare to kill people... Princess... I'm talking to you about business, then.
Xianglan's death is a small matter, but there are so many people outside them saying that you are the murderer of Xianglan. If these words reach the ears of the emperor or the queen, it will be a serious matter."
Yun Shang was about to speak when she heard someone's voice coming from outside the bedroom, "This servant is Xiao Zhengzi, the chamberlain beside the Queen. Please ask Princess Yun Shang to go to Yanque Lake to reply."
Yun Shang frowned, and Qin Yi quickly walked to the door of the dormitory, raised the curtain and said to the chamberlain outside, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhengzi, for coming to pass the message. The princess is getting dressed and will be there soon."
Qinmeng quickly took it and helped Yun Shang put on her clothes, and Yun Shang left the dormitory. Xiao Linzi was waiting at the door of the dormitory. Seeing Yun Shang coming out, Xiao Linzi hurriedly greeted her and said, "I don't know what happened to Xianglan."
Who ran to report to the Queen? Yesterday, we were fifteen, and the Emperor happened to be resting in Qiwu Palace. When we heard what happened, we rushed over together, and now they are all in the pavilion by Yanque Lake."
Yun Shang nodded, "I know." After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Qin Meng with a pouted mouth, "Look at you, Crow Mouth, just now you were saying that if your father or mother knew about it, something bad would happen, now okay
Yeah, they both knew it at the same time."
Qin Meng also had a sad face, a little at a loss, "Princess, I didn't do this on purpose."
"Okay, okay, I'm not blaming you. Besides, it wasn't me who did it in the first place. I'm not afraid of slanted shadows if I'm upright. Could it be that I'm still afraid of it?"
When Yun Shang took Qin Yi and Qin Meng to the Yanque Lake, she saw the emperor and queen standing in the pavilion from a distance. Next to the emperor and empress, there was Hua Jing, who looked cute and docile. The outside of the pavilion was covered with white cloth.
, it should be Xianglan's body. Next to the body stood a man in green clothes. Judging from his appearance, he must be a palace slave.
Yun Shang stepped forward and saluted the emperor and empress, "My daughter has met her father, the emperor, and her empress."
The emperor nodded and said, pointing to the corpse covered with white cloth, "Get up, Shang'er, come and have a look. Do you know this person?"
Yun Shang walked over, and the man lifted up a corner of the white cloth. Under the white cloth, there was a swollen corpse with a bluish white face. Yun Shang glanced at it timidly, and then quickly
He retracted his sight and said repeatedly, "Shang'er doesn't recognize me, who is this? It's so scary..."
This time, the person who answered Yun Shang was Hua Jing, who had been standing aside, "Sister, you can see clearly, this is someone from your palace, how could you not recognize him?"
"From my palace?" Yun Shang turned her head to look at Qin Yi in confusion.
Qinyi said quickly, "Replying to the princess, she is a low-level maid who cleans the courtyard in the palace. The princess must not have paid much attention to her, so she doesn't recognize her."
Yun Chang said "Oh" and then said, "Except for a few close palace maids and chamberlains, Chang'er has relatively little contact with other people on weekdays, and is too lazy to remember who they are, so they are not very familiar with them, but since Qin Yi
If you say they are from my palace, then that’s it. But why are the maids from my palace here... and it’s like this?"
The emperor picked up an object from the stone table nearby and handed it to Yun Shang, saying, "We have just examined the body. The palace lady drowned, but the palace lady was holding some grass in her hands, and there were signs of struggle on the shore. I'm afraid
Someone did it deliberately. By the way, Chang'er, take a look, do you recognize this bracelet?"
Yun Shang hurriedly took two steps forward and took it. After looking at it carefully for a while, she said, "Hey, this bracelet looks very much like the one your father gave me a long time ago..."
"What do they look like? It's obvious...I always saw you wearing this bracelet before, why don't you wear it now?" Hua Jing asked again in a somewhat aggressive manner.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to wear it, it's just that the palace lady accidentally lost the bracelet some time ago, so I didn't wear it."
"Yes, yes, it has been missing for a while. I searched the Qingxin Palace but couldn't find it." Qin Meng was afraid that her master would be misunderstood, so she hurriedly responded.
"Master is talking, what does the slave say?" Hua Jing scolded with some displeasure.
"Isn't my sister's bracelet lost?" Hua Jing grabbed the bracelet and held it up, frowning tightly, "I found this bracelet from the dead palace maid this morning. When she found it, she would
This bracelet is so tight. Sister, tell me, how come your bracelet happened to be lost just now? How could it be found in the hands of a dead palace maid? Sister, you usually beat and scold the palace maids.
Yes, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister are conniving at it, but you should never do it, and you shouldn’t cause trouble..." (To be continued)
