After giving away the red envelopes to the people at the door, Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang back to the house. The housekeeper said quickly, "The prince and princess will have breakfast in the flower hall today, as they will pay New Year's greetings later.
People will come to your door."
Luo Qingyan responded, and the housekeeper quickly gave orders and placed the breakfast in the flower hall.
Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang went directly to the flower hall. The servants had already laid out the food, which was red bean porridge, some side dishes and pastries.
While eating, he suddenly saw Qian Zui running over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Princess, something happened." When he entered the door, he also took over the vase placed by the door. The vase fell to the ground with a bang.
It was broken. Qian Zui staggered because of this and almost lost his balance.
Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support Qian Zui, and whispered: "Young man who is celebrating the Chinese New Year, what happened to make you so panicked?" After speaking, he stared at the fragments of the vase on the ground and said, "Broken peace,
Shattered peace."
Yun Shang put down her chopsticks and looked at Qian Zui, who seemed startled by the sound of the vase breaking, and spoke softly, "What happened? You ran over like this in such a hurry, why did you become so stunned again?"
Only then did Qianzuo come back to his senses and said quickly: "Prince Qi, Princess Qi, Liu Chuchu is dead."
"Dead?" Yun Shang slammed the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand, making a crisp sound, and even Luo Qingyan raised his head.
"How did he die? The mansion is heavily guarded. If anyone approaches the courtyard where Liu Chuchu is imprisoned, he will definitely be discovered. Could something have happened?" Yun Shang asked repeatedly.
Qian Zuo looked a little ugly and shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with the guard. Liu Chuchu committed suicide. The servant never noticed that there was a piece of gold in the purse placed on Liu Chuchu's body. Liu Chuchu swallowed the gold.
She was dead. When she went to guard to deliver meals to Liu Chuchu yesterday, she was still fine. Just now when the servant ordered someone to deliver breakfast to her, she found that she was already dead."
"Why did she commit suicide?" Yun Shang frowned and was a little confused. When she talked to Liu Chuchu yesterday, Liu Chuchu was still begging them not to spread the news that she was still alive. Last night, she committed suicide by swallowing gold. This is again
Why?
"Princess, what should we do now? What should we do with Liu Chuchu's body?" Qianzuo asked softly.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and was about to speak when she saw the housekeeper coming over, "Princess, the seventh prince and his wife, Mr. Liu Er and his wife, Mr. Liu, Mr. Li, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Mr. Qian, the minister of the Ministry of Households, came to pay New Year's greetings to the prince and princess.
Already."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he suddenly sneered, "These people came together, which makes people feel that they are either here to pay New Year's greetings or to find trouble." After saying that, he ordered Qian Zu, "Think of something.
The body of Liu Chuchu must be disposed of cleanly."
Qian Zui agreed and was about to leave, but Yun Shang stopped her again and asked her to attach her ear to his side. Yun Shang said softly, "You go back to the yard first, and put it in the cage that was brought from Ning Guo."
…”
Qianzuo's eyes lit up when he heard what was behind him. He nodded quickly, stood up straight, and hurriedly walked towards the door of the flower hall.
A flash occurred in Yun Shang's mind, and she quickly raised her voice, "Be careful, don't let anyone see you."
Qian Zui quickly agreed, and Yun Shang then turned around and ordered the housekeeper to bring those who were coming to pay New Year greetings to the flower hall, and asked the maid to remove the breakfast on the table and order someone to make tea.
After a while, the butler's voice sounded at the door, "Seventh Prince, Seventh Princess, Mr. Liu Er, Mrs. Liu Er, Mr. Li, Mr. Qian, Mr. Liu, please come in."
Then he saw the Seventh Prince and Hua Yutong walking in followed by many people. The visitors walked into the hall together and saluted Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, "Happy New Year to Prince Rui and Princess Rui."
"Happy New Year." Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang also responded with a smile, greeting them and finding a seat to sit down without any courtesy.
Luo Qingyan turned to look at the Seventh Prince, and asked with concern on his face: "Are you feeling better? Your face is still a little pale..." After that, he turned to Yun Shang and said
, "By the way, last time at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the Queen asked you to take the pulse of Lao Qi, but did you find out what was wrong with Lao Qi?"
After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he looked at the Seventh Prince again, "Your sister-in-law learned her medical skills from Abbot Ning Guowu. The medical skills of Xia and Ning are in their own way. Although I heard that all the famous doctors of Xia have seen your body before,
There is no cure for them all, but maybe Ning Guo has the right prescription."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Last time in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the Seventh Prince woke up before I had time to diagnose her pulse. If the Seventh Prince doesn't disdain that my medical skills are poor, it wouldn't hurt to take a look."
The Seventh Prince never found a chance to speak. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "My body is like this. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. The prescription I'm using now seems to be somewhat effective. Imperial Physician
If you say you can't change the recipe at will, then I won't bother my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "There is a saying that once you are used to a recipe, you cannot change it at will. In this case, forget it."
Yun Shang turned her eyes and saw Liu Yinfeng looking at her. Yun Shang was stunned, then smiled at Liu Yinfeng and looked away.
The seventh prince smiled and said: "Since the eldest brother moved here, I haven't seen the scenery of this mansion for a long time. If the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't mind it, why don't you accompany us for a walk?"
When Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang heard what the Seventh Prince said, alarm bells rang in their hearts. After a moment of silence, Yun Shang laughed and said, "There is no such thing as dislike between brothers. After the prince and I moved into the mansion,
But I haven’t had time to take care of it. Except for the courtyard where we live, other places in the mansion are the same as before, and there aren’t any big changes. If the Seventh Prince wants to go shopping, then let’s go.”
Luo Qingyan nodded, helped Yun Shang stand up, and the group walked out from the other side of the flower hall.
"I remember, this should be a peach garden." The seventh prince came out of the flower hall and said with a smile.
"Yes, it's just that it's not the time for the peach blossoms to bloom now. In two months, the peach blossoms should be in bloom, and they will be absolutely beautiful by then." Yun Shang responded with a smile.
After passing through the peach garden and entering a circular door, the road split. In the middle is a curved lake, with corridors on both sides. To the left is to the yard where Yun Shang lives now, and to the right is the road to the courtyard where Yun Shang lives now.
It was the main courtyard when the prince was still here.
The seventh prince walked out of the door, turned to the right, and said with a smile, "I used to fish in this lake before. At that time, the prince's brother was still here. One time we had a dispute over some trivial matter, and the two of us fell into a trap.
After entering the lake, we were scolded by our father."
Yun Shang smiled and did not answer, but there was some doubt in her heart. The Seventh Prince was not simply here to pay New Year greetings today, but what was his purpose in trying every possible means to get into the backyard?
Yun Shang was thinking when he saw Qian Zui walking from the front. Yun Shang paused slightly and frowned. The yard they lived in was on the left now. Why did Qian Zui come out from this side?
After thinking for a moment, he realized that Liu Chuchu was probably locked up in a courtyard here, and they had just ordered Qianjiu to clean up Liu Chuchu's body.
And the Seventh Prince tried his best to lure them all here, probably for this reason.
In this way, the Seventh Prince must have known that Liu Chuchu who was in the Seventh Prince's Mansion that day was not the real Liu Chuchu, and that Liu Chuchu was brought to Prince Rui's Mansion by her.
Liu Chuchu committed suicide last night, and today he eagerly came with Liu Chuchu's parents and the Minister of Punishment. From this point of view, it is very likely that he also knew that Liu Chuchu had committed suicide.
The Seventh Prince knows that there are only two possibilities for these things. One is that he has placed a spy in Prince Rui's Mansion. However, Prince Rui's Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and Liu Chuchu avoided everyone in the mansion from the time she was brought into the mansion until her death.
The courtyard where Liu Chuchu was imprisoned was guarded by many secret guards with high martial arts skills. It was almost impossible to enter the courtyard to inquire.
Another possibility is that the Seventh Prince and the Liu Mansion are colluding from beginning to end.
Including the fake Liu Chuchu accident, the servant who led Yun Shang to the yard where the accident occurred, and the map of the Seventh Prince's Mansion with the word "Rui" tattooed on it, were all arranged by the Seventh Prince in order to attract her attention and make her
to investigate the matter. Then, he asked Mrs. Liu to deliberately expose her flaws and visit the yard where Liu Chuchu was hiding. She then led the secret guard sent by Yun Shang to monitor the movements of the Liu Mansion. Yun Shang sent someone to take Liu Chuchu with him.
I'm afraid that it was part of his plan to arrive at the house, and in the end, Liu Chuchu committed suicide by swallowing gold... Everything was just a trap by the Seventh Prince.
The purpose is just to get Prince Rui's Mansion into a life-and-death lawsuit.
If something happened to Liu Chuchu in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, no matter how sufficient the evidence was, some people would still suspect that the Seventh Prince had done something. But if Liu Chuchu was found dead in Prince Rui's Mansion, and supplemented by some additional evidence, although it may not necessarily be the case.
It is enough to kill Luo Qingyan, but it will definitely discredit Prince Rui's Mansion among the people of Jincheng.
Yun Shang curled her lips. Fortunately, she was one step ahead this time...
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a "click", as if someone had stepped on something, and then heard Hua Yutong exclaim. Yun Shang turned around and saw Hua Yutong leaning back and forth.
Seeing this, Qian Zui quickly stepped forward to support Hua Yutong's body.
"Is the seventh princess okay?" Yun Shang asked quickly with concern.
Hua Yutong seemed to be startled, and seemed a little unable to recover. After a while, she said, "It's okay, I just stepped on something and slipped."
After hearing this, everyone looked towards the ground and saw a white pearl lying on the ground. It seemed to have fallen from someone's shoe or hairpin. There was even red embroidered cloth on the pearl.
Qianzui bent down and picked up the pearl, and asked strangely: "What is this?"
Mrs. Liu's expression suddenly changed, and she ran forward in two steps, staring at the pearls in Qian Zui's audience. Her face suddenly turned pale, "They belong to my daughter, these are the pearls on Chu Chu's shoes." (Unfinished)
