"A member of the Ya tribe?" Yun Shang suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Ning Qian, "You said Concubine Shen Shu is a member of the Ya tribe?"
Ning Qian nodded, "Yes, there are many mountains and forests in the Ya clan, and they are considered poor in the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, she was sold to the palace as a maid by her parents. Her parents were just ordinary people in the Ya clan.
, because of her favor, she gradually established a reputation in the clan. However, it is a bit strange that because of Concubine Shen Shu, His Majesty took great care of the Ya clan, and the situation of the Ya clan was slowly getting better. I don’t know.
Why are you rioting now?"
Yun Shang's heart suddenly picked up. After being silent for a long time, she slowly asked, "What kind of person do you think Concubine Shen Shu is?"
Ning Qian tilted her head and thought for a while, "Concubine Shen Shu is not in good health and rarely appears in front of people. Since I entered the palace, I have only seen her three times. I have also curiously asked some old palace people about Concubine Shen Shu.
According to the palace people, she is a woman as gentle as water. Concubine Shen Shu was once the queen's personal palace attendant. The palace people around the queen were more or less arrogant, but Concubine Shen Shu was the only one who smiled at everyone. Even if
After sitting in the position of Concubine Shu, she was always gentle and courteous to the palace and the lower-ranking concubines. Therefore, even if the Queen was not happy with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shen Shu had never been left out in the harem, even the most.
In times of difficulty, the people in the palace never lacked a maid in Concubine Shen Shu's palace."
"Such a woman knows how to be patient. If she is a friend, she is the best. But if she is an enemy, she will be very difficult to deal with." Yun Shang sighed lightly, "But we are destined not to be friends with her."
Yun Shang suppressed the ominous premonition in her heart and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that this rebellion of the Ya clan is just a trap to attract the prince and Duke Hua into the trap."
Ning Qian was stunned when she heard the words. She didn't know why Yun Shang suddenly said this. After a moment of silence, Yue Mo guessed what Yun Shang was thinking and said, "It's just that the Ya clan didn't start after the prince arrived in Xia Kingdom.
There was a riot, and it was a little uneasy before that. I remember that the Queen once mentioned this matter when we went to Weiyang Palace to pay respects. Concubine Shen Shu was there at that time, and the Queen also insinuated that Concubine Shen Shu's family had not
Fulfill the duties of a minister and make the emperor more troubled. When did that happen? Oh, I remember it. At that time, your majesty went to Ningguo. It seems that it was not long after the news of the death of His Highness the Crown Prince came back. "
Ning Qian frowned, "I remember that the Queen's temper was a bit bad during that time. Concubine Shen Shu, who rarely appeared when saying good morning, did appear several times, just to see the Queen's jokes.
.On that day, it seemed that His Majesty was not in the court, and the affairs of the court still needed to rely on those senior ministers. The queen suddenly mentioned the matter of the Ya clan and got very angry at Concubine Shen Shu. Concubine Shen Shu stopped going later.
Goodbye."
"After the news of the prince's death came back..." Yun Shang frowned. If this was the case, it shouldn't be directed at the prince. However, why did she always feel that this matter was a bit fishy.
After returning to the palace, Yun Shang thought for a long time but did not think about what was strange about it. She was just worried in her heart. Prince Rui had not sent back a letter since he sent the army. After thinking about it in his mind, he simply
He sent secret guards to the Ya clan to look for King Rui, but he put the matter aside.
Ning Qian's news came very quickly, saying that Mrs. Liu's poisoning was not instigated by anyone, but that the servant of the Duke's Mansion confessed to the poisoning and accurately told what kind of poison it was.
Even the waiter at the drugstore identified where he bought it, and it was indeed true. All the evidence was very clear, and Li Qianmo couldn't cover it up even if he wanted to.
All the evidence was clear, and Yun Shang sneered. She suspected that the evidence was so clear and obvious that it could be said that it was obtained without any effort.
Yun Shang tapped her hand lightly on the armrest of the chair and stood up, "This matter has nothing to do with Prince Rui's Mansion, so I can't come forward, but I have to go to the Duke's Mansion. Now the Duke's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion are the same."
The grasshopper on the rope, I'm afraid someone wants to start from the Duke's Mansion, first remove the prince's arms, since I am in Jincheng, I will never allow such a thing to happen."
The Duke's wife was not in a hurry at all. She slowly ordered her servants to pour fruit tea for Yun Shang, and then said with a smile, "The Duke's office has not been involved in these disputes for many years. I thought that all the people who were placed elsewhere in the government have been
They were evacuated, so I didn’t expect there were still some, but it’s okay, if one is missing, it will count as one.”
"Grandma, aren't you in a hurry?" Yun Shang asked softly.
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't you just say that it was done by the servants of the Duke of Guo's house? I would like to see how he would set this fire into the Duke of Guo's house." Mrs. Guo Gong's wife said softly.
Yun Shang's heart gradually calmed down a bit, "It's not an option just to sit there and wait for death. It's not like I can't get involved in the Ministry of Punishment's affairs. Mrs. Liu's body is still in the morgue of the Ministry of Punishment.
, I will ask someone to check her carefully and see if there are any new discoveries about her."
When the Duke's wife heard this, the smile on her face deepened, "The old man even praised me after he came back, saying that Qing Yan's greatest blessing is marrying you. Although you are a princess, you are kind-hearted. Unlike others.
Ordinary ladies can only play chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and so on. I have also heard about several battles between Kangyang City and Jingyang City. Many generals of the Xia Kingdom also praised you very much and said lightly that with your help, we will too.
not worried."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, but a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, "Grandma said it was a mistake. It is a blessing in my life to be able to meet the prince."
On the way back to Prince Rui's Mansion, they happened to meet Liu Yinfeng. Yun Shang was not aware that Yun Shang was in the carriage, but Liu Yinfeng stopped Yun Shang's carriage.
"Princess, Mr. Liu wants to see you." The coachman shouted from outside.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then signaled Qian Yin to open the door, and saw Liu Yinfeng standing outside the carriage. Yun Shang looked around, but saw that there were people everywhere, and it was in the downtown area.
With a slight frown between her brows, Yun Shang's eyes fell on the gentle and jade-like face outside the carriage. After being silent for a moment, she said softly, "Young Master Liu, what's the important matter?"
Liu Yinfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, then lowered his eyes and said softly, "I would like to ask the princess, has Prince Rui sent a letter to the princess back home?"
Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes suddenly became serious, "No, Young Master Liu..."
Liu Yinfeng fell silent after hearing this, and then said after a long while, "I wonder if the princess has sent someone to check on Prince Rui's current situation."
Yun Shang also lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before answering, "No." After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice, "But what news did Young Master Liu receive about the prince?"
Liu Yinfeng shook his head, "I just feel that it has been some time since Prince Rui left with his troops. There has been no letter back, so I am a little worried, so I asked the princess."
"That's it..." Yun Shang was slightly disappointed.
"In this case, I won't disturb the princess anymore and take my leave." Liu Yinfeng kept his head lowered, cupped his hands towards Yun Shang, then turned and left.
Yun Shang watched him enter a nearby shop. She was silent for a while, then calmly looked away, and ordered Qianyin to close the carriage door, and then whispered, "Let's go."
Returning to the palace, Yun Shang sat quietly in the room for a while before regaining consciousness, but found that something was wrong with Qian Yin's expression, her brows were furrowed tightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Qian Yin..." Yun Shang called softly, but Qian Yin seemed to be in a trance and didn't hear her, and showed no reaction.
Yun Shang patted her hand and called out again, "Qianyin!"
Qianyin jumped up suddenly, "Ah..." and after a while, she recovered. She scratched her head and looked at Yun Shang with a guilty conscience, "Princess."
Yun Shang glanced at her expression and said, "What are you thinking about? I've called you several times but you didn't answer."
Qianyin lowered her head and thought for a long time before she spoke hesitantly, "Princess, you still remember that not long after the prince left Jincheng, Mr. Liu came to see him once, but the princess felt that the prince was not in the house at that time.
"It was against the rules to meet my husband, so I didn't meet him."
Yun Shang glanced at Qianyin and nodded. Is this related to Liu Yinfeng?
Qianyin whispered, "After asking the housekeeper to deal with the matter, the princess went to take a lunch break. Later, the housekeeper came over and the princess was taking a lunch break. The housekeeper didn't disturb her. He just gave the slave a letter saying that it was Young Master Liu.
It must be handed over to the princess. The servant thought that the princess was still taking a nap, so she put the letter on the table in the outer hall and went to do other things. When she came back, because the Duke’s wife sent it
Invitation to the birthday banquet, I completely forgot about the letter. Today, when I heard Mr. Liu asked about the prince, I suddenly remembered it."
Yun Shang also frowned when he heard this. With Liu Yinfeng's temperament, if the matter wasn't more important, he would definitely not have bothered to ask the housekeeper to hand over the letter to her, and today he suddenly stopped her
The carriage asked two questions inexplicably. The letter was probably related to the prince's visit to the Ya clan.
"Go and call the servants in charge of cleaning and ask if they have seen the letter." Yun Shang turned around in her mind and ordered Qianyin.
Qian Yin quickly responded and walked out.
After a while, he returned to the house again, but his brows furrowed a little tighter, "The maid cleaning the outer hall said that she had some impressions, but the letter was not placed on the table. It only fell to the ground. It should be the wind."
She dropped the letter to the ground. She thought it was something the princess didn't want, so she cleaned it up together, fearing that it would never be recovered." (To be continued)
