In the afternoon, just after Yun Shang had lunch, Li Qianmo walked in and whispered, "Master, the body of Princess Rui has entered the city. My subordinates are going to take the widow to the palace for an autopsy immediately. Master, do you want to go with her?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Since the autopsy is going to be done, of course I have to go." After saying that, she ordered Qian Yin to call the secret guard to tidy up the disguise for her. Yun Shang looked in the bronze mirror, and her eyes were still clear.
Some flaws can be seen, but if she is pretending to be Li Qianmo's attendant, she can just lower her head, which is fine.
Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to clean her hands and make them rough, then took a pair of big shoes to tie her feet firmly, then nodded gently, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
Li Qianmo and Yun Shang walked out of the inner courtyard and saw two gangsters waiting aside. The two gangsters were both carrying cloth bags. Seeing Yun Shang following Li Qianmo, she naturally put the two cloth bags on their backs.
The bag was handed to Yun Shang. Li Qianmo frowned, but Yun Shang quickly took it and signaled with his eyes that Li Qianmo didn't need to pay attention. Li Qianmo raised his hand, covered his mouth and coughed lightly to hide his somewhat wrong look.
Li Qianmo got on the carriage, and Yun Shang and the two gangsters walked behind the carriage. Yun Shang watched Li Qianmo poke his head out of the window several times along the way, all of which intentionally or unintentionally cast his eyes on Yun Sang. Yun Sang
I knew that he was worried about me. After all, I did have a noble status and rarely walked like this.
However, she was afraid that she would have to find an opportunity to remind Li Qianmo that since she had dressed up in disguise, he should only treat her as the person she is. If he continued to look like this, he would probably be spotted sooner or later when he entered the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Yun Shang quickly stepped forward to help Li Qianmo get out of the carriage, whispered her request in his ear, and Li Qianmo quickly agreed. After entering the palace, she really didn't look at him again.
Yun Shang is on it.
The corpse of the fake Princess Rui was parked in the meeting hall. When Yun Shang followed Li Qianmo in, she smelled the rotting smell of the corpse, which was very pungent. There were many people standing in the hall, including Su Qi and the Seventh Prince.
, the Duke’s wife is also there, as is her housekeeper from Prince Rui’s Mansion.
Li Qianmo stepped forward and saluted Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu stood up, frowned and said to Li Qianmo, "Let me take a look. The corpse in this palace is Princess Rui herself."
Li Qianmo responded and turned to look at the two gangsters. The two gangsters quickly walked towards the coffin containing the corpse. Yun Shang also followed quickly with two cloth bags on his back and untied the two cloth bags.
He came down and opened it in front of everyone. There were various tools in the cloth bag, including tweezers, small hammers, wooden sticks, silver needles, and some things that Yun Shang couldn't name.
The two workers each took their tools and started working. Yun Shang stood up and his eyes fell on the corpse in the coffin.
The woman was wearing a water-pink skirt. From the skirt to the jewelry she carried, everything was familiar to Yun Shang. Yun Shang thought that she did have these things in her house, but she didn't know that they were stolen by people in the house.
Yes, it was an imitation. The corpse had not been combed, and the hair was spread all over the coffin. The face was as Yun Shang thought, it had rotted a lot, but he could barely recognize the general appearance. Yun Shang looked at it for a moment.
, I have to say that the people behind the scenes have put a lot of thought into it. Looking at it like this, it looks very similar to Yun Shang. There is no disguise. If it is disguise, it will naturally be seen that the corpse is rotten.
"He was five feet and two inches long. He was injured by a sharp weapon and pierced by an arrow in the chest. He died thirteen days ago. He had no disguise and his skin was well maintained. He should have lived in a wealthy family all year round. His feet were six inches long and his appearance was good.
There is no disguise." Wu Zuo looked at it for a long time and slowly stated his conclusions one by one.
"According to what you said, is this person really Princess Rui?" Xia Huanyu frowned, his expression a little cold.
Wuzuo said quickly, "Wei Chen can only confirm that this woman's appearance is not disguised. She is five feet two inches tall, has good skin, and her feet are six inches long. The time of death is consistent with the time when Princess Rui disappeared. Others cannot be mentioned yet.
The conclusion, I’m afraid I need someone from Prince Rui’s palace to confirm it, preferably someone who is personally serving Princess Rui, and someone who knows the height and length of Princess Rui’s feet would be the best, so you can know.”
Xia Huanyu squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment, then looked at the steward of Prince Rui's Mansion, "Do you understand, Steward Luo?"
The butler hurriedly stepped forward and said politely, "I understand, I understand. It's just that the princess never likes to be served by too many people. She has always been personally served by Miss Qianyin. But now Miss Qianyin's whereabouts are also unknown. I really don't know."
, who can confirm these things?"
"The length of your feet is easy to say. You can find out if you look for a pair of shoes worn by Princess Rui. But with this height..." The Seventh Prince was silent for a moment and turned to the coffin in a low voice, "Princess Rui should often make clothes, right?
Just look at the measurements given to Princess Rui when making the clothes, and you will know."
When the butler heard this, he quickly responded, "Yes, I will prepare now."
Xia Huanyu nodded, and the housekeeper hurriedly left. Yun Shang lowered her head, looked at her toes, and stood silently. Then she heard the Duke of the State say, "Princess Rui is just a woman, and there is someone like this."
He's so vicious that he wants to take her name! I really wish I could skin that murderer!" He gritted his teeth, as if he couldn't stop being angry.
Yun Shang suddenly remembered that she had sent a letter to Ning Qian and a letter to Luo Qingyan, but she had forgotten about the Duke's mansion. The Duke's wife usually loved her very much, so it would be difficult to accept her death.
.
Xia Huanyu sighed softly, "Don't be angry, Madam. It's still not confirmed that this is Princess Rui. That maid is smart and she won't disappear so easily."
Hearing this, the Duke's wife stomped her crutches and said nothing.
It was the Seventh Prince who spoke up, "After I learned about this, I sent people to Nachilan Town to investigate. The owner of the only inn in Nachilan Town said that Princess Rui was staying in their inn.
After one night, because of her outstanding appearance, her memory was very deep. Princess Rui also left the inn early in the morning on the day she was murdered, and we never saw her again. Everyone else in the town said that Princess Rui was the second princess after she was murdered.
On that day, some people went from house to house in the town to inquire about the whereabouts of Princess Rui. They also said that she was their master who was assassinated in the mountains half a day's walk from Liqilan Town and disappeared. The son sent people to the mountains again.
After searching, there are a lot of traces of fighting in the mountain, but it seems that they have been cleaned up and the corpses are gone."
Yun Shang frowned when she heard this. When she was waiting for Qianyin to wake up in Qilan Town, she heard that someone was looking for her from house to house, but she didn't expect that they were still looking for her in the name of her subordinate.
of.
No one spoke in the palace for a moment, and Yun Shang heard the Duke's wife's crutch fall heavily to the ground.
After a while, the housekeeper came back panting and said, "I got it. These are the measurements the princess took when she made clothes and shoes last time." After saying that, he presented the paper in his hand.
Seeing this, Liu Wen'an quickly took the paper from the housekeeper and handed it to Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu looked down and frowned, "Height is five feet two inches, feet are six inches long..."
What he said is completely consistent.
Yun Shang curled her lips coldly, now she was sure that there might not be spies in her house, but there must be spies among the people who made clothes for her.
Xia Huanyu's words fell for a long time, and no one in the palace spoke. Xia Huanyu sighed, frowned and said, "That's all, let's prepare for the funeral."
Yun Shang quietly raised her eyes and scanned the expressions of the people in the palace, and saw that the Seventh Prince frowned and did not speak. Su Qi's face was also full of sadness, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and there was a bit of gloating in his eyes, and
Only the Duke's wife, whose face was ashen and whose lips were a little white, stood up suddenly after a while, but her body swayed, and she managed to stand still after a while, "My wife is not feeling well, please allow me to leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and left the meeting hall.
Xia Huanyu sighed again and said to Liu Wen'an, "Go down, Princess Rui has gone. Prince Rui is not here. Please send some people from the palace to help Prince Rui's palace arrange the funeral arrangements." After saying that, he glanced at Li Qianmo again.
He said, "Li Aiqing, please step aside first."
Li Qianmo responded quickly, and Yun Shang stepped forward to pack up the two cloth bags placed on the ground, and followed Li Qianmo and the two widowers out of the meeting hall. After leaving the palace, Li Qianmo let the two widowers leave on their own.
.
Yun Shang saw that the carriage of the Duke of Guo's Palace had not yet left, so she approached Li Qianmo and whispered a few words. Li Qianmo pondered for a moment, then responded, turned around and walked towards the carriage of the Duke of Guo's Palace, and raised his hands to the people inside.
, "May the Duke's wife be here? Li Qianmo from the Criminal Department, I have something to ask for."
The window of the carriage was opened, and Yun Shang saw the Duke's wife sitting inside, with a cold expression on her face. After a long while, she said, "What's the matter, Mr. Li?"
Li Qianmo cupped his hands and said in a loud voice, "I have just heard the news of Princess Rui's death. I recall that the Duke's wife was Prince Rui's grandmother. I must be very sad. I ask the Duke's wife to express my condolences and be considerate."
The words were a bit harsh, but they were still reasonable. Yun Shang took advantage of him to speak loudly, moved to the window, and whispered to the Duke of Guo, "Grandma, it's me..."
The Duke's wife was stunned and looked at Li Qianmo, who kept speaking loudly. She heard him still saying, "Princess Rui is well-educated and sensible, gentle and generous, but she is a beauty with a bad fate..."
The Duke's wife turned her eyes to the side and finally saw Yun Shang.
Yun Shang opened her mouth and said, "Grandma, it's me. I'm not dead. The corpse in the palace just now was a fake body. I never had the chance to tell my grandma that I was safe. It's Chang'er's fault that I made her worry."
A flash of surprise suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Duke's wife, "Shang'er?"
Yun Shang nodded repeatedly, "I will explain this matter to my grandmother in detail later. It is a little inconvenient now. I live in the house of the Minister of Justice. There are people watching around the Duke's house. Grandma does not need to contact me. I am fine.
