Yun Shang sneered, "Sure enough, people's words are terrible. No one even saw it, so they concluded that the person who had a dispute with Cang Juekang Ning was the prince, and it was logical to blame the death of Cang Juekang Ning on the prince.
On the body."
Qianyin sighed, "But why didn't the prince show up to explain?"
"I also want to know." Yun Shang lowered the corner of her mouth lightly, "Since others dare to make such calculations, I'm afraid they are completely sure that the prince will not be able to show up."
But where is the prince? And why didn't he appear? Yun Shang leaned on the soft couch, tapping the edge of the soft couch with his hand, frowning slightly, feeling a little sad.
Prince Jing never showed up, and the outside of the palace was closely monitored. Yun Shang always stayed in the palace to read and sleep when she had nothing to do. Occasionally she talked to Wang Jinyan who came to visit. Yun Shang was a little surprised.
On the other hand, Mrs. Jing has been coming quite frequently these days. When she came, she only chatted casually with Yun Shang. Yun Shang paid careful attention to what she said, as if she was trying to find out whether Prince Jing was secretly in contact with her, intentionally or unintentionally.
.
Yun Shang was a little surprised, wondering why the Prime Minister's Office was so concerned about this matter.
The Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom has been transported back to the Kingdom of Xia, but Xia Huanyu still stays in the imperial city. The apparent reason for searching is to find the real culprit who killed the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom, but he is not too keen on investigating the case.
, but he came to the palace twice, and Yun Shang was not overbearing. He served him with tea and water, and even played chess with him for a while.
Nothing seemed to be making much progress, and Yun Shang's mood became more and more anxious, but she still looked calm and calm on the outside.
Occasionally he would go to the palace to sit and sit, but most of the time he would stay in the Jinxiu Palace. However, every time he entered the palace, Qianyin would find his way around and move around, and the news would never stop.
"The slave secretly asked people to search the palace where Meng Jieyu lived. Since Meng Jieyu left, no one has lived in the palace. Because she felt that Meng Jieyu's death was a bit unlucky, and even her body was missing. Many palaces
People avoided that place, and the things inside were not touched much. Sure enough, I found a letter under the pillow where Meng Jieyu slept. The signature on it was Wen Lan, and it was all about love."
Qianyin sneered and said, "I also saw a purse in the sewing basket that Meng Jieyu was making recently. The bottom of the purse was embroidered with the word Meng Lan. The princess's guess was indeed right.
.”
Yun Shang nodded, "Ask some people to keep an eye on Jing Wenlan and place all those things properly. I will personally present them to my father when I enter the palace in two days."
Qianyin quickly responded, "By the way, I heard that Prime Minister Jing said in the Jinluan Palace a few days ago that the harem was empty and asked the emperor to order a draft, and the emperor... agreed."
"Do you agree?" Yun Shang sighed quietly, "Everyone in the palace is pitiful, and my father is no exception. But the most pitiful one is my mother and concubine."
Nearly ten days have passed, Yun Shang thought in her mind, she wants to find Prince Jing, but she is afraid that the person who really killed Cang Jue Qingsu is also looking for Prince Jing. The imperial city is not small, but it is not big.
The big one, my father is looking for him, she is looking for him, the murderer is looking for him, and maybe others are looking for him, but they still haven't found King Jing. Maybe King Jing is not in the imperial city now.
As soon as she thought about it, she hurriedly shook her head and denied her thoughts. She was so unconscious before that even her mother and concubine were alarmed. The whole imperial city knew about it, but he didn't show up. She pretended to be fainted.
One is to confuse outsiders, and the other is to test him. Since he didn't come, he must be very clear about his situation and know that he is just pretending.
He is definitely by his side.
Yun Shang felt that she was going crazy from her random thoughts all day long.
Jing Wenlan probably never thought that someone would be suspicious of him so quickly, so his usual behavior was no different from normal, and he did not cover it up. He did not encounter any obstacles when he inquired about it.
Although he is the son of the prime minister and is in charge of a lot of business, the bigger the family, the more careful they are with their money. Especially someone like Jing Kui who holds great power, and is even more afraid of being caught by the tail, walking on thin ice.
Therefore, almost every expense in the prime minister's house was written clearly on the account. Yun Shang used many means to bribe the steward who was in charge of the account book. Jing Wenlan had paid out money several times in recent months. What was the purpose behind it?
It says buy jewelry.
Yun Shang had people find out everyone Jing Wenlan had met in recent months and carefully sorted them out into a booklet. However, Yun Shang was somewhat surprised to find Prince Jing among those names.
Yun Shang frowned, why did Jing Wenlan meet Prince Jing? Looking at the date, it should have happened not long after she and Prince Jing returned to the imperial city.
Yun Shang hurriedly called the housekeeper and asked about it. The housekeeper thought for a moment and then said, "The prince did go out that day. The old slave remembered that the prince rarely went out after returning to the palace because he was injured. The princess should have entered the house at that time.
When I got to the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent me a post, which said that Prime Minister Jing invited me."
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Yun Shang had some impressions. It seemed that when she came out of the palace that day, she saw Jing Wenxi appearing on the street with his face covered. Later, when she returned to the house, she heard what the housekeeper said.
, Prime Minister Jing sent a message, and the prince went to see the Prime Minister.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the collected booklets. It said that Prince Jing was the only one who met Jing Wenlan that day. In this way, it was Jing Wenlan who used Prime Minister Jing's name to invite Jing.
The king has met? But why does Jing Wenlan want to meet the prince?
Yun Chang asked the housekeeper to retreat. He raised his eyes and saw Qian Yin looking at her with a confused expression. Yun Chang smiled and asked, "After Mrs. Jing left the house these days, no one has followed her?"
Qianyin shook her head, "No."
Yun Shang slightly bent her fingers and glanced at the edge of the soft couch, frowning slightly as if muttering to herself, "Could it be that I guessed wrong and it wasn't them?"
Qian Yin listened in confusion, but couldn't get anything to say, so she had to walk to the table and pour Yun Shang another cup of tea.
At night, Yun Shang was already asleep, but suddenly she heard Qian Yin rushing in hurriedly, with a bit of excitement in her voice, "Princess, I found it, I found it."
Yun Shang sat up and looked at Qianyin in confusion, "What did you find?"
Qian Yin had a look of excitement on her face, "This slave has asked the girls under Boss Qian Qian to seduce Jing Kui in the past few days. Jing Kui is a lustful person. He went back and forth twice and even seduced the girl in the building.
The girl took several of them home, and one of them came to report back, saying that she saw Mr. Jing always talking alone to a wall in his yard these days. She found it strange and listened secretly several times, faintly hearing something in his dream.
I'm sorry. Another girl accidentally heard a little maid waiting in Mr. Jing's yard saying that there has been a faint smell coming from the corner of the yard recently, but she didn't find anything unusual after looking at it for a long time."
Yun Shang frowned, and there was some speculation in her heart. Qianyin continued, "In the morning, they wanted to send the letter to the palace, but there were eyes everywhere outside the palace, so they had to give up and discuss it after they went back.
After some deliberation, I decided to check out Mr. Jing’s yard at night. As soon as I walked into the wall, I smelled the smell of rotting corpses. Looking closely at the wall, it seemed that it had just been renovated and repainted.
Once again. If it were in winter, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to smell the smell, but as the weather has become warmer recently, the smell has increased. They felt that this matter was important, so they asked the watchman to take advantage of it when he was passing by.
The people outside didn't pay attention and stuffed the note into the crack of the backyard door, and then passed the code to the slave."
"Qin Meng's body was hidden by Jing Wenlan in the wall of his yard?" Yun Shang frowned, not wanting to know that Jing Wenlan actually had such thoughts and tricks. Even if others guessed, they would not be able to guess.
He actually hid the body there.
Qianyin nodded repeatedly, "That's what I think. Princess, what should we do?"
Yun Shang curled her lips and said, "What should I do? Sleep!" After saying that, he lay back down again, covered himself tightly with the quilt, closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
Qianyin was stunned and stared at the slight bulge on the bed. She didn't react for a long time.
After a long time, he hurriedly stamped his feet and retreated.
Yun Shang had a good sleep, and it was already afternoon when she woke up. After having lunch, she asked the steward to prepare a carriage and walked to the palace. She usually went to the palace at this time, and the eyes outside seemed to have already
got used to.
After entering the palace, Yun Shang did not go directly to Jinxiu Palace, but to Qinzheng Palace.
Yun Shang stayed in the Qinzheng Palace for more than an hour before walking out, with a smile on her lips, and went to the Jinxiu Palace.
It was night, just after the third watch, when Emperor Ning suddenly exclaimed from the Qinzheng Palace, "There is an assassin!"
The imperial guards hurriedly rushed into the Qinzheng Hall, but Emperor Ning pointed to the open window and said, "The assassin has escaped. Be on guard quickly and don't let the assassin enter the harem." The assassin did not enter the harem, but he was in front of everyone.
His eyes rose and fell several times before he left the palace.
"Check! Seal the city gates and search every house!" Emperor Ning looked very unhappy, slammed the table and said angrily.
The imperial commander hurriedly called for people, and together with the Imperial City Fu Yi and the soldiers of the Imperial City Guards, they sealed off the Imperial City and searched house to house.
Naturally, the Prime Minister's Mansion was no exception. There was a quarrel in the middle of the night. Jing Kui was only wearing a robe and looked a little bad. He yelled at the soldiers who rushed in, "Do you know what this is?"
Where? Is it the opposite?"
Then he saw the imperial commander, Imperial City Mansion Yi, and the commander of the Imperial City Guards walking in together. Jing Kui was stunned for a moment before he realized that something big seemed to have happened in the imperial city.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "What happened?"
The three men slightly arched their hands towards Jing Kui and said, "An assassin appeared in the palace, but he just escaped from the palace. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but the general has no choice. Please forgive me, Prime Minister."
The words were so clear that Jing Kui had nothing to say, but his face was still a little gloomy and he responded in a low voice, "Search." (To be continued)
