Chapter 304: Where the Heart is

Qianyin rolled her eyes, "I think it looks real, but I'm afraid it's not entirely true. According to what she said, Gu Chaoge is too careless. Those things will be revealed if they are exposed."

How could things in one’s head be overheard so easily, and what a coincidence, things in the Duke’s Mansion were overheard.”

"I've made progress." Yun Shang glanced at Qianyin and raised her lips. She just thought of Luo Qingyan, but she couldn't laugh anymore. She sighed softly and told Qianyin about today's meeting with Liu Yin.

What Feng said, when Qianyin heard that such an important thing was written in the letter that she accidentally forgot, she immediately jumped up and said with a sad face, "What should I do?"

Qianyin bit her lip and looked at Yun Shang, "Why doesn't the princess go into the palace and ask His Majesty? Do you want me to take someone to the Ya clan to look for her?"

Yun Shang smiled bitterly, "I often forget one thing, and that is the current identity of the prince. There is nothing wrong with the prince being my husband, but he is also your majesty's son. If something happens to the prince, the most anxious thing is...

Besides me and Your Majesty, since Your Majesty didn’t tell me, there are only two possible reasons. One is that everything is fine with the Prince, and the other is that the Prince and Your Majesty don’t want me to worry. No matter which one it is, I shouldn’t question Your Majesty.

."

Yun Shang smiled lightly, "When I just heard about this, I wanted to go to the Ya clan immediately to see what happened to the prince. But when I calmed down and thought about it, I was afraid that this was the prince's plan. If I

If you go there rashly, you may end up doing bad things."

Qianyin listened to Yunshang's words, but her brows furrowed tightly, "Then Princess, what should we do now?"

"What should we do?" Yun Shang murmured and repeated, and then smiled bitterly, "Wait. Now all we can do is wait. It still takes time for the people we sent there to reach the Ya clan. Now

The situation is unclear. If we act rashly, we may fall into someone else's trap. Please pay more attention to Concubine Shen Shu's movements in the past two days."

Qian Yin responded, took off the gauze from Yun Shang's skirt, and said softly, "There is news from the Ministry of Punishment that Mrs. Liu's death was not as the servants in the Duke's Mansion admitted.

The poison was put in Mrs. Liu's tea cup. The poison was smeared on a jade pendant worn by Mrs. Liu around her waist."

"Jade pendant?" Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Qian Yin with some surprise.

Qianyin nodded, took out a picture from his sleeve, unfolded it and handed it to Yunshang to look at, "Master Li said it was inconvenient to show the jade pendant to the princess, so he drew a picture. Princess, look at this

Do you have any impression of the jade pendant?"

Yun Shang took a look and saw that it was just an ordinary jade pendant with a dragon and a phoenix in the auspicious shape. There was no clue about it, so she raised her eyes and looked at Qian Yin with a bit of confusion.

As soon as Qianyin saw Yunshang's eyes, she knew that she probably hadn't remembered, so she said, "Princess, do you still remember that Mrs. Liu made a fuss that day and said she dropped a jade pendant made of warm jade. The slave looked at the pattern and thought it should be

This is it.”

Yun Shang thought about it carefully, and there was such a thing. She pondered in her heart for a long time, and then murmured, "I am sure that Liu Huansheng's incident was the work of the Seventh Prince. I am afraid that the subsequent frame-up method was also done by the Seventh Prince."

.But if the poisoning method pointed out by the servant was not the real cause of Mrs. Liu’s death, then I’m afraid that the death of Mrs. Liu was not caused by the Seventh Prince.”

"Jade pendant..." Yun Shang knocked on the table, "If it is a jade pendant, there are only three possibilities for the time of poisoning. One is that the jade pendant was poisoned after it was taken away from Mrs. Liu, and then it was poisoned.

The servants who went to look for it discovered it. One was when the servant handed the jade pendant to Mrs. Liu, and the last one was the poison that was administered after the jade pendant was given to Mrs. Liu."

"It must have been poisoned after giving it to Mrs. Liu." Qianyin said quickly, "If it was poisoned before, then the servant also took the jade pendant, so why wasn't it poisoned? What if it was after giving the jade pendant to Mrs. Liu?

There were so many people present, so it would be difficult to poison someone in public."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Your speculation is reasonable, but if the poison was given after giving it to Mrs. Liu, why did you try every possible means to get the jade pendant off Mrs. Liu's body? Wouldn't it be even worse to poison her directly?

striking?"

Qian Yin has always been a straight person and is not good at analyzing these twists and turns. Hearing this, his brows were almost knotted. He bit his lip and looked at Yun Shang, "But the first two don't make sense, and that kind of poison is too poisonous."

It must be in direct contact to be poisoned, and the poison must be clarified. Princess, tell me, how did Mrs. Liu get poisoned?"

Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh out loud as she looked at her. After thinking about it, she said, "The person who poisoned her must have poisoned her during the period after Mrs. Liu lost her jade pendant."

"Huh?" Qianyin was stunned, "Why is the princess so sure?"

"The name of this poison is Aconitum. In fact, most of this poison needs to be taken orally to be effective. That's why the servant said before that he put the poison in the tea cup. But in fact, this is not the case. The poison is on the jade pendant.

, Logically speaking, just touching the jade pendant should not lead to death, but the person who poisoned it should know Mrs. Liu very well and know that the jade pendant was given by Liu Huansheng. Mrs. Liu cherished it very much and often held it in her hand.

Playing around, seeing things and thinking about people." Yun Shang said with a calm expression.

"After the jade pendant was lost, a servant from the Duke's Mansion found it and brought it to him. He had no feelings for the jade pendant, he just took it. In fact, he was also poisoned, but it was very mild, so light that none of us were even aware of it.

I know. Just now you mentioned this matter, I suddenly remembered that when Liu Huansheng came to make trouble that day, when Shen Yilan and I were together, I saw the servant who found the jade pendant. At that time, he seemed to have diarrhea and his face

It was a little pale. I didn't notice it at the time, but now that I think about it, it was a sign of being slightly poisoned by aconitum."

Hearing this, Qianyin bit her lip and thought for a while, "It seems there is such a thing, but wouldn't it be harder to find out in this way?"

Yun Shang seemed to have remembered something, her mind was a little dazed, and she answered after a while, "Not necessarily. First of all, the person who poisoned must be the person who was in the courtyard that day, and others had no chance to succeed. Secondly, the person who poisoned him must have been in the courtyard that day. Secondly, the person who poisoned him must have

Mrs. Liu knows very well, at least the origin of the jade pendant. If you ask someone to check it out, then follow these two directions and eliminate them one by one. First narrow down the scope, and then it will be easier to check again.

"

Qianyin responded repeatedly and asked again, "Princess, the house is almost tidied up. You asked your slave to tidy up that day to remind you, but what's the matter?"

Yun Shang nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Bring me your almanac and let me have a look. Are there any good days recently? Let's choose a day to hold a small banquet."

Qianyin hurriedly walked to the table nearby and brought over the almanac. Yun Shang flipped through it and then said, "July 21st is a good time to open a business, move, and pray. Let's set it on this day. You can discuss it with the housekeeper.

Look, please invite all the famous people in Jincheng. Only the ladies and ladies will be invited. I will design the style of the invitations and let me take a look at the list after it is drawn up."

Qianyin responded, thought for a while and then said, "Are the princesses in the palace invited?"

"It's not necessary for those in the palace, just send out invitations to the princesses who have established their own princess mansions." Yun Shang rubbed her forehead and sighed softly, "Holding a banquet is really a laborious and laborious matter, and I don't know why.

There are so many people who like to work hard."

Qianyin chuckled and said, "No, Princess Huajing liked it especially when we were in Ning State. However, I heard that holding a small banquet can also reveal the popularity and taste of the person hosting it. If the banquet is well-organized,

Everyone flocks to those ladies, which is also a matter of honor."

Qianyin went down to make arrangements, and Yun Shang took a nap on the soft couch. The weather gradually became sultry, and Yun Shang felt a little stuffy, but she gradually fell asleep.

In the dream, there was a dark red dense forest. Yun Shang saw that she was wearing white clothes, which were stained with blood, and her face was also stained with some stains. Her face was full of anxiety, and she was walking back and forth in the forest, as if...

I was looking for a way to leave. But I couldn't find it after searching for a long time, and my heart was in panic.

Yun Shang saw herself hovering in the dense forest with tears on her face, her mouth opening and closing as if she was shouting something, which was heartbreaking. Yun Shang stared at the mouth that kept opening for a long time, and then

It was clear that what she called seemed to be a whisper.

Speak lightly...Speak lightly...

A voice suddenly rang out, Yun Shang trembled and suddenly opened her eyes.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you sleeping?" Qianyin's face appeared in front of Yun Chang. Yun Chang felt something was wrong on her face. When she reached out and touched it, she felt her hands were covered in sweat.

"I'm afraid I'm thinking or dreaming. I just dreamed that I was looking for the prince, but I couldn't find him..." Yun Shang took a breath, took the brocade handkerchief Qianyin handed over, and wiped his face.

Sweating on my face, "Fortunately it was just a dream."

Just because of such a fuss, Yun Shang couldn't sleep, so she simply told Qianyin, "You're sweating all over, go get me some water, I'll wash myself up, and I'll go to the Duke's Mansion later."

trip."

Qianyin looked at the darkening sky outside, "It's already this hour."

"It doesn't matter. Although I don't quite believe what Na Nuxi said, it's always good to be on guard. I'll tell my grandmother and ask her to check it out first. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst." Yun Shang stood up.

Come, look out the window and say calmly, "The weather is getting hotter and muggier..."

Qianyin was stunned for a moment and then said, "Slave, let me get some ice cubes to put in the house. The Xia Kingdom is indeed hotter than the Ning Kingdom. No wonder the princess can't bear it."

Yun Shang's eyes were a little distracted, and she murmured after a while, "I heard that it's also very hot and muggy over there in the Ya clan, and it doesn't rain all year round."

Qianyin was stunned for a moment, then realized that the princess was probably worried about the prince. (To be continued)
