The queen's eyes fell on Yun Shang, she was silent for a long time, and then said, "How do you know that the person who kidnapped Prince Rui is the person who kidnapped His Majesty?"
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then said, "My wife has also grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she is quite aware of some things in the palace. The emperor of a country was kidnapped for no reason, mostly for the sake of the lofty throne.
Your Majesty was kidnapped, and something happened to the prince soon after, and both your majesty and the prince are related to the throne, so naturally it was done by one person."
Because Yun Shang accidentally let out the news that she knew Xia Huanyu was missing, every word she said afterward was carefully considered to avoid being too sharp. She spoke with a hint of the squeamishness of a royal princess, without losing her gentleness.
But he seemed to be spoiled.
The Queen never moved her eyes away, and after a while she said, "This matter will be handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation. Princess Rui does not need to worry."
Yun Shang raised an eyebrow at the Ministry of Punishment. Before she could speak, she heard Liu Yinfeng speak, "My Lady, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to leave this matter to the Ministry of Punishment. If Prince Rui's matter is really related to His Majesty's disappearance, this matter can only
I’m afraid it will spread quickly.”
"Oh?" The queen then looked at Liu Yinfeng, her eyes somewhat thoughtful, "Who do you think should investigate this matter?"
Liu Yinfeng was silent for a moment and then said, "If the Queen and Princess Rui don't mind it, the common people can give it a try."
No one in the hall spoke. After a long while, the queen's voice was heard calmly, "It's rare for you to take the initiative to take the errand, so I'll let you come and check." After saying that, the queen waved her hands to a few people and said, "You guys
Go to the meeting hall to discuss it, I will leave this place to you. It is very suspicious for you to stay here for a long time."
Several people in the hall looked at each other, then bowed and left. As soon as they opened the door and walked out of the side hall of Taiji Hall, they saw a woman wearing a silver-purple cloak turning out from the corner. Seeing the few people, they paused slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
He smiled and said, "Princess Rui and several adults are here too..."
This woman Yun Shang had met several times. She was Mrs. Xian, the daughter of Wang Congwen, the richest man in Jincheng. She had been a frequent visitor to Ning Qian Palace before. When Yun Shang saw her, he knew that she must be here to visit Xia Huanyu, so she spoke
He said, "Mrs. Xian is here to visit Your Majesty, right? Your Majesty has been discussing court affairs with several adults for some time, and is a little tired. Now he has rested. The Queen is taking care of you in the palace."
When Mrs. Xian heard this, the smile on her face became even more embarrassing. She nodded repeatedly and said, "In that case, I'll come to visit you later. Why is Princess Rui here?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "I have some knowledge of medical skills. The Queen, thinking that Ning and Xia had different medical skills, summoned me to the palace to diagnose and treat His Majesty."
"Oh, oh." Mrs. Xian responded in a noisy voice, and said, "The princess and all the ladies will be busy first, and I will leave first." After saying that, she led the palace servants to bend slightly, turned around and left.
.
Yun Shang and Liu Yinfeng went to the meeting hall together. Yun Shang did not speak because the Seventh Prince and Su Qi and Liu Jin were also present. However, the Seventh Prince's eyes moved around the room and fell on Yun Shang.
He came up and said, "Since Yin Feng wants to investigate the matter of the eldest emperor brother, then I will go to Yunqi Palace with Su Taiwei and Liu Situ. Hua Guogong is the eldest emperor brother's grandfather. I am afraid that he also has feelings for the eldest emperor in his heart."
I am very concerned about my brother’s affairs, so please stay and help Princess Rui.”
This arrangement was exactly what Yun Shang wanted. After the seventh prince finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the meeting hall first. Su Qi and Liu Jin followed suit, and only Liu Yinfeng and Hua Guogong were left in the hall.
Yun Shang was silent for a while before speaking, "Has the prince discussed with everyone before the idea of using him as bait to lure the person behind the abduction of His Majesty to show up?"
Liu Yinfeng's eyes fell on Yun Shang, then slowly moved away, looking at the dragon patterns on the pillars in the palace, and shook his head, "No."
Duke Hua couldn't keep his temper, so he quickly asked, "What did Prince Rui say to you?"
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Hua Guogong, smiled and said, "I have said everything that should be said and what should not be said. The people behind the scenes also had some speculations. Before the prince left the palace, he deliberately removed the secret guards who were following him.
After staying in the house, I guessed that he must have had such thoughts and wanted to lure the snake out of its hole."
"Why didn't he consult with us? He was so reckless, and we fell into a passive situation." Hua Guogong snorted and patted the armrest of the chair.
Liu Yinfeng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any contact information with Prince Rui?"
Yun Shang pondered for a long time before saying, "It would be easier if he had secret guards following him, but the secret guards are all in the mansion..."
"What's the use of him losing contact with us like this?" Hua Guogong snorted coldly, looking a little unhappy.
Just as he was talking, someone from the palace pushed the door in, handed Yun Shang a piece of paper, and then walked out. Both Liu Yinfeng and Hua Guogong's eyes fell on Yun Sang, and Yun Shang was surprised.
He didn't take it seriously and unfolded the note in front of the two of them. After a long silence, he said, "I don't regard you two as outsiders. I just said some things directly." After a pause, he saw Liu Yinfeng's eyelashes.
He moved slightly, and Duke Hua looked at Yun Shang in disbelief. Yun Shang then spoke, "I'm afraid Young Master Liu may find it difficult to accept this matter. However, I would like to ask Young Master Liu to return to the Liu Mansion to secretly investigate Liu."
In Fufuzhong.”
Liu Yinfeng was slightly startled, "What's unusual in Liu Mansion?"
Yun Shang nodded and said without hesitation, "My secret guard found out that there are a lot more things in Liu Mansion's shopping list today than usual. The ingredients include mandarin fish, pickled bamboo shoots, and bamboo fungus.
Guinea fowl, etc. I also purchased some clothing, for both men and women, all of the best fabrics.”
Liu Yinfeng was silent for a moment and then said, "There are hundreds of people in the Liu Mansion, so this shouldn't be a strange thing."
Yun Shang shook her head, "I'm afraid Mr. Liu won't know if he is not a householder. Generally, for a mansion like the Liu Mansion, the daily purchases are customized. If there are any changes, they must be reported to the central government. But because of the rules in the mansion,
The number of people is relatively fixed, because most of the time, even if there is a change, it will increase and decrease. The number is basically stable, and more things will be added for no reason. The clothes purchased by Liu Mansion this time are all winter clothes. Liu Mansion
It has been purchased once before... and as I just said, the extra ingredients..."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yinfeng, "Young Master Liu often comes to the palace to serve His Majesty, and he must be aware of it. For example, mandarin fish, pickled bamboo shoots and guinea fowl are all His Majesty's favorites..." (To be continued)
