Qingmei's body was shaking violently, tears kept falling from her eyes, and her voice was almost choked, "They aborted the princess's child and then took a sword and slashed her neck. The slaves were extremely frightened. Those people
After insulting the slave, he locked the slave and the princess together. The slave took advantage of them to sleep beside the slave and ran out with the princess. However, the slave thought that he could not enter the palace and remembered that the minister of Dali Temple was in charge of these cases.
, last time the princess was imprisoned in the heavenly prison by the Dali Temple minister, so he brought the princess here, but the servant was not in good health and fainted as soon as he arrived at the door of the house..."
After a long while, Qingmei suppressed her emotions a little, kowtowed to Emperor Ning several times and said, "I beg the emperor to make the decision for the princess and for the slave."
Emperor Ning was silent for a long time, then turned to the minister of Dali Temple and said, "Send someone to Prince Jing's Mansion to invite Princess Yunshang over."
The Minister of Dali Temple was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he wanted to invite Princess Yunshang. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Yes, I obey the order." After that, he walked aside and ordered the attendants.
The attendant went to invite Yun Shang, and Emperor Ning sat silently, tapping his hand on the armrest, as if thinking about something. The minister of Dali Temple looked at the body of Princess Hua Jing on the bed, and then looked at it again.
The maid, who was lying on the ground crying so hard that she almost fainted again, frowned but never spoke.
After about half an hour, Yun Shang slowly walked in from the door, walking calmly. After walking in, he walked up to Emperor Ning and saluted, "Isn't my father supposed to be in the morning court at this time?"
Emperor Ning raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang, and saw that she seemed a little sleepy. He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Yun Shang always liked to sleep in, and said, "I forgot that you don't like to get up early. I came here because of something."
matter."
"Huh?" Yun Shang looked up, still a little confused in her eyes, "What's the matter?"
Emperor Ning pondered for a moment and then said, "Your imperial sister is dead."
"Ah?" Yun Shang was stunned, a touch of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he seemed to gradually realize what Ning Di meant. A bit of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then slowly returned to calm, and he remained silent for a long time.
He said softly again, "Oh."
Emperor Ning's eyes never left Yun Shang's face. Every change in her expression fell on Emperor Ning's eyes. Emperor Ning was a little surprised when he saw her reaction. He thought to himself, what if she had a look of surprise on her face?
With her appearance, he would suspect that this matter must have something to do with her. But the way he looked at her just now, it didn't look like she had done it.
Emperor Ning pondered for a moment, then turned to the chamberlain beside him and said, "Take out all the things that were just found from Princess Hua Jing and show them to Princess Yunshang."
The chamberlain responded quickly and handed everything to Yun Shang. Upon seeing this, the Dali Temple Minister quickly brought another chair over for Yun Shang to sit on. Yun Shang took it and looked at it. Most of them were letters.
, there was only something that looked like a token, and what was engraved on it were words that Yun Shang couldn't understand. Yun Shang paused for a moment, and then he opened the letters and read them one by one, but his brows gradually furrowed.
Get up, "Surprisingly, there is him..."
With just a soft sigh, Yun Shang handed everything back to the waiter. After a long silence, he raised his eyes and looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, looking at the Dali Temple aside with a bit of confusion.
Sir, "This one seems familiar, right?"
The minister of Dali Temple responded quickly, "This is Princess Huajing's maid."
Yun Shang paused, silent for a moment, and then said as if sighing, "I see."
Seeing that Emperor Ning had no intention of speaking, the minister of Dali Temple took a step forward and repeated the words of the maid just now. Yun Shang did not speak for a long time after listening.
"What do you think of this matter?" After a moment, Emperor Ning asked.
Yun Shang just sighed slightly and said, "Everyone knows that I have some disagreements with Sister Huang because of some things. This matter is related to Sister Huang. If I were to judge, I'm afraid everyone would think that I am biased.
Chang'er still didn't express her feelings. However, although Chang'er had some disputes with the emperor's sister, she also felt that it would be too tragic if the emperor's sister died like this." Yun Chang said this and frowned again.
He frowned and bit his lip and was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "This matter..."
After speaking, he paused again, raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Ning and said, "Father, do you want to go to the palace and talk to the two guests in my house? Maybe we can make some discoveries?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ning glanced at Yun Shang, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "I really should go and meet these two." After saying that, he stood up and said to the minister of Dali Temple, "
Princess Hua Jing's body should be sent back to the princess's mansion first. I will arrange for her to be properly placed. This maid should also go back with her first. You should send someone to protect her properly and don't let anyone take advantage of the loophole."
The Minister of Dali Temple responded quickly and saw that Emperor Ning was about to leave, so he quickly followed him. However, Emperor Ning turned his eyes and looked at him and said, "You don't need to get involved in this case, just stay at home."
Let's go." He said and walked out of the room.
The Minister of Dali Temple frowned, secretly guessing in his heart, what did the emperor mean by this? Could it be that he already knew who the perpetrator was, or that the emperor didn't care about Princess Hua Jing's death at all?
Emperor Ning and Yun Shang rode in the carriage together. Emperor Ning looked at Yun Shang who was unusually silent and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and smiled, with some bitterness in her smile, "My father must have hoped that my sister and I could coexist peacefully, but we ended up in such trouble.
In the end, even when she died, I didn’t feel much."
Emperor Ning sneered and said, "You women are just looking for trouble. A small thing can hold a grudge for a lifetime. We are sisters who grew up together. How can we have so much hatred?"
Yun Chang sighed and said, "Father is the emperor of a country, so he is naturally concerned about world affairs. Naturally, he doesn't know about those things in the harem. Chang'er was raised by the queen since she was a child, without the care of her mother and concubine. In order to gain a wife, the queen
I have a good reputation and treat me well on the surface, but secretly I allow the palace people to bully me and Hua Jing to bully me. Hua Jing has been smart since she was a child, and her father has praised her a lot. I am the one who sets off the emperor's sister. I don't
Xi Nuhong, I don’t like reading and writing. My father only saw that I didn’t like these things, but he never knew why.”
"Why?" Emperor Ning frowned, confusion flashing in his eyes.
Yun Shang smiled bitterly, "Why? Because the imperial sister told me every day how strict the master was, and how he would hit the students when something went wrong. Every day, the palace servants said this to me.
, Princess Huajing was beaten severely by the master with a ruler because she wrote a wrong word. She was not able to get out of bed for three days. Therefore, in my heart, the master was extremely terrifying. At this time, the queen empress
Then she would tell me gently and virtuously that I don’t need to read or write because I am the most noble princess.”
"The queen also taught me how to beat and scold the palace people, and even kill them. The queen said, I am a princess, if someone makes me unhappy, I will kill him. Therefore, I am cruel by nature." Yun Chang closed slowly.
Shangyan said, "I suffered a lot of injuries when I was young, all because of the poor service of the palace servants or the carelessness of the imperial sister."
Yun Shang smiled bitterly, "Father, maybe you still remember that I was injured when I fell down when I was eight years old. The queen hired a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits, but they actually wanted my life. Fortunately, I found out and took precautions. And I
I suddenly fell ill and had to be taken to Ningguo Temple. It was not a natural punishment. It was me who was poisoned by the empress... because they felt that I invited Yu Yu's decree and stole the limelight of Hua Jing, and I was still the mother-in-law.
Hearing that I was ill, she brought Aunt Zheng to visit her secretly. Aunt Zheng discovered that I had been poisoned. My grandfather had some friendship with Abbot Wuna, so my mother-in-law secretly wrote a letter to my grandfather, asking him to ask Abbot Wuna to come.
They took me out of the palace. But because the detoxification was too slow, my body was seriously injured and I kept getting sick."
Emperor Ning frowned tightly, in disbelief, "Why don't you come and tell me?"
Yun Shang smiled bitterly, "Because the emperor is the emperor of the world, and the queen is the master of the palace, and Li Jingyan is the powerful Prime Minister Li. But my mother-in-law is just a concubine in the cold palace. I and I
Queen, compared to Li Jingyan, Chang'er still knows which one is more important."
Emperor Ning fell silent and did not speak.
When they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Emperor Ning got off the carriage and walked towards the palace. Yun Shang led Emperor Ning into the secret passage. Emperor Ning kept frowning and followed Yun Shang silently all the way.
After turning a few corners, he saw a stone door. Yun Shang turned the switch next to it, opened the stone door and walked in. Behind the stone door was a dark room, which was pitch black.
Yun Shang took out the flint, took a torch from the wall, lit it, and then lit up other torches on the wall, and the stone room slowly became brighter. Li Jingyan and the seventh prince of Xia Kingdom were
The iron chains were locked in the stone chamber. They seemed a little unaccustomed to the sudden firelight, so they raised their hands to cover their eyes. After a while, they slowly lowered their hands and looked at Emperor Ning and Yun Shang.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, I didn't expect that you and I would meet one day." Li Jingyan saw Emperor Ning and burst out laughing. She couldn't stop laughing, "I just didn't expect that we would meet again when we meet again."
With your appearance like this, I always thought that when I saw you again, you would already be the king of the subjugated country. I also thought that I have been kneeling to you for so many years, and one day I will have to let you kneel back."
"It's a pity that such a day will never come." Emperor Ning said calmly, without any change in his expression. He glanced at Li Jingyan's face. Perhaps because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, his face was a little sickly white. "
Do you know that Hua Jing was killed by Cang Jue Qingsu?" (To be continued)
