He Yun wanted to say something else, but Yun Shang waved her hand, "Pull it down."
Qianyin quickly grabbed the rope that tied He Yun and dragged him out of the inner room. After a while, he came back again, "Princess, you already knew that He Yun was a fake? Why didn't you deal with her right away?"
It would also prevent her from causing such a scene."
"My memory is not that good. I had completely forgotten what the prince told me about the female secret guard. But didn't I take her into the palace yesterday? On the way back to the prince's palace, I just wanted to distract him from the palace.
The people watching outside asked you to transfer the ventriloquist back to the mansion, so I went to Yumanlou. Before that, I just thought that the timing of He Yun's appearance was a bit coincidental, and I was vaguely suspicious, so I asked her to go to Qianshui Yiren Pavilion.
Go buy some jewelry. I specifically told Qian Shui before that if the person I send to her is not you or Qin Yi, let her follow her to investigate." Yun Shang frowned slightly and paused before saying.
"Yesterday afternoon, Qianshui sent someone to report to me, saying that after taking the jewelry, He Yun met a man in gray at the street corner and exchanged some words before returning to Yumanlou. That man in gray
The person...is from Jingfu."
Qianyin blinked, a little strange, "Is that Prime Minister Jing? Why did he let He Yun kill someone and silence him?"
Yun Shang squinted her eyes slightly, bent her hand slightly, and tapped the edge twice with her knuckles, "It's not necessarily Jing Kui." After thinking for a while, she continued, "I have always been suspicious of Li Jingyan and the Seventh Prince of Xia Kingdom.
In the Imperial City, I have been checking their hiding place before. I didn't know where they were before, but now I am 70-80% certain that no matter where they were hiding before, they should be in Jingfu now."
"Jing Kui knows them? Could it be that they are in the same group?" Qian Yin was a little stunned, with a slightly nervous look on her face.
"That's not necessarily true. I just feel that the safest place in the imperial city now is probably the Jing Mansion. Because Jing Wenlan did what he did, Jing Kui is now banned from the Jing Mansion, and there are others outside.
The imperial city guards are guarding it, so it can be considered impregnable." Yun Shang tilted her head and thought for a while, "How can we let them come out on their own?"
Qian Yin stood aside, not daring to speak to disturb Yun Chang's thoughts. After a while, Yun Chang sat up straight and said with a smile, "Yes, just burn down the Jing Mansion."
Hearing this, Qianyin opened her eyes in surprise and said hesitantly, "Princess, although Na Jingkui is under house arrest now, he is still an official of the imperial court after all. The emperor has not removed him from his post. If he is burned like this,
What if Na Jingkui is burned to death by accident?"
Yun Shang snorted, "Do you think Jing Kui is a vegetarian? At least half of the people guarding my house were sent by Jing Kui. I'm afraid he didn't believe that the prince would suddenly disappear. I'm afraid it was
I feel that the prince is hiding in our house. Although his daughter is a useless chess piece, she is still of some use. Now that she is in the hands of the prince, he naturally has to guard her eagerly, wanting to know that the prince has locked up Jing Wenxi.
Where is it?"
Qianyin thought for a while, and it seemed to be the reason. A bright light flashed in her eyes, "Why don't the princess let the slave go there in person? Since the slave entered the palace, she has not done many murders and arson."
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't laugh or cry. She raised her hand and knocked on Qianyin, "Nonsense, I'm not a bandit. You can tell me about murder and arson."
However, before Qian Yin set out at night, she saw a secret guard running in in a hurry. It was the secret guard that Yun Shang had sent to keep an eye on Jing Mansion.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come into the house on your own? Did the people guarding outside find you?" When Qianyin saw the person coming, he hurriedly asked questions.
The secret guard said quickly, "There is no one outside the mansion, Princess, there is a fire in Jing Mansion."
Yun Shang stood up suddenly, "What? What's going on?"
The secret guard said, "My subordinates were guarding the tree opposite Jing's Mansion. Just after midnight, they saw a sudden fire in Jing's Mansion, and then the fire became bigger and bigger. Many people ran out of Jing's Mansion.
The subordinates saw men in black surrounding the people who had escaped from Jing Mansion, and started fighting without saying a word. The subordinates felt that the skills of the men in black guarding outside the house were a bit like the prince's secret guards.
So I hurriedly came back to report to the princess."
"Prince's secret guard?" Yun Shang frowned slightly, firstly because there was someone who had exactly the same idea as her, and secondly because that person was most likely Prince Jing. Prince Jing, who had disappeared for nearly half a month, finally appeared.
.
"Let's go to Jingfu." Yun Shang didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she hurried out of the inner room, walked out through the back door, got on her horse and went straight to Jingfu.
Jing's mansion has turned into a sea of fire. Fortunately, after Jing Kui was promoted to prime minister, he moved from his original mansion to this place. This is the most prosperous location in the imperial city. What's even more rare is that it is a separate mansion, which makes Jing Kui look more and more like
His status is noble. But now he has avoided other families from suffering, which can be considered a blessing.
Outside Jing Mansion, there were imperial city guards fetching water to extinguish the fire. Yun Shang circled around, but did not see the fight that the secret guard said.
The commander of the guard army also discovered Yun Shang, and was a little surprised, so he hurriedly came forward, "It's dark at night, why is the princess here?"
Yun Shang turned around and glanced at him lightly before saying, "I heard that there was a fire in Jing's Mansion, and I thought that Prime Minister Jing is also the pillar of the country. If anything happens, it will be a huge loss to Ning Guo, so I hurriedly came over to take a look. How can Prime Minister Jing be?"
Are you okay? How are the others in the house?"
After hearing what Yun Shang said, the commander was a little suspicious, but what Yun Shang said was reasonable and reasonable, and there was nothing to refute, so he quickly said, "Prime Minister Jing and the other masters in the mansion are fine, but there are about ten servants dead and injured.
, Prime Minister Jing and his family were somewhat frightened, and are now settled in their original residence. The emperor has sent an imperial doctor from the palace, and they are all right for the time being."
Yun Shang nodded, "Then the princess will feel at ease. Have you seen anyone suspicious around here? Why did she suddenly escape?"
"I haven't seen it. The cause of the fire will have to be investigated by Mr. Fu Yi after the fire is extinguished."
Yun Shang frowned, gritted her teeth, and nodded slightly, "Well, I will go back to the palace first. Since the prime minister and his family are all well, I am relieved."
Yun Shang felt a little disappointed. She finally got the news about Prince Jing, but she still didn't meet him. She didn't know what happened to Li Jingyan and the seventh prince of Xia Kingdom. It seemed that all the clues were interrupted again. Yun Shang sighed,
He got on his horse and returned to the palace.
After returning home and freshening up, Yun Shang lay on the couch, feeling a little irritable and tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All she could think about were the things that had happened recently, and they seemed to be closely related.
There are still no clues about the murder of Prince Xia. There are many clues about the death of Prince Yelang, but they have been interrupted so far. Even if it is known that the murderer is definitely not Prince Jing, what is the use?
, there is still no news about the murderer. Although she suspects that Li Jingyan and the seventh prince of Xia Kingdom are responsible, there is no evidence at all.
Qianyin heard the sound of Yun Shang turning back and forth, and walked in holding a lamp, "The princess is not asleep yet?"
"Can't sleep." Yun Shang simply sat up.
Qianyin also understood why Yun Shang was so irritable. After thinking about it, she softly consoled her, "None of the eyes from outside the house came back. It's finally quiet now, and it's easier for the princess to do things."
Some."
Yun Shang nodded casually, raised her eyes and said, "Has the ventriloquist been buried?"
"Buried, buried next to his wife's grave." Qianyin replied casually, and then added, "Recently, I always feel that someone is helping us secretly. The master of forgery was discovered by others, but he gave us a gift
It turns out that the ventriloquist was saved by someone else, otherwise, he would have died long ago."
Yun Shang fell silent after hearing this, and then heard Qian Yin say as if talking to herself, "Speaking of it, that person seems to know what we want to do."
"Do you know what we want to do?" Yun Shang frowned and repeated, as if an idea flashed in his mind, he sat up suddenly, "I know."
Qian Yin was startled and looked at Yun Shang blankly, "What do you know?"
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled coldly, "I know where he is."
Qian Yin was still a little confused, but Yun Shang had already stood up. Seeing this, Qian Yin quickly took a robe and put it on Yun Shang, and hurriedly said, "It's late at night, and you are naked. What is the princess going to do?"
"Go and drag the housekeeper out of bed, and tell him that I have something to ask him." Yun Shang's eyes were frighteningly bright, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little joyful, but also seemed a little unhappy.
Qianyin didn't know what was going on, touched her head, lit up the lights everywhere, then walked out, and ordered the servant guarding the door to pass the message, and then walked in again, "Princess, please ask the slaves to dress you and comb your hair."
?”
Although he is just a housekeeper, he is still a foreigner after all. It is midnight and the prince is not at home. It is really inappropriate to enter the inner room. Moreover, the princess just got up from the bed at this time. Her hair is disheveled. There are also many servants here. If she is
When people see it, they probably won’t know what they are talking about.
Yun Shang waved her hand, "I'll just ask you a few questions about how to comb your hair. I have to go to bed later. It's not too troublesome to go through all the trouble."
Qianyin had no choice but to walk to the door and stand, thinking that if the housekeeper came, she would just ask him to answer at the door. However, she kept looking at Yun Shang, feeling a little surprised in her heart. She always felt that this princess today,
He seemed a little excited.
Not long after, the housekeeper hurried over. Although he had just gotten up from the bed, he had a consistent expression on his face, but there was no trace of tiredness at all. When he saw Qianyin standing at the door, he pondered for a while, then
Standing at the door, he raised his voice and said, "The princess asked me to come, but do you have any important instructions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yun Shang walking to the door with her hair disheveled, her face expressionless and her eyes glaringly staring at him, "The prince is at home, take me to see him." (To be continued)
