Hearing this, Yun Shang was slightly startled and looked at Madam Liu strangely, "Madam's daughter...but the concubine Liu in the Seventh Prince's Palace, she is not...how could the pearls on her shoes appear here? Could it be
Madam Liu missed Concubine Liu too much, so she took the pearls from her shoes with her, and did she accidentally drop them?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, Chu Chu was wearing these shoes on the day of her accident. I remember that I embroidered these shoes for her myself, and I know every stitch on them very clearly."
The seventh prince also looked over and pondered for a moment before saying, "Master Li just checked out a few days ago and said that the blood stains found in the yard that day were not human blood, and the body of Concubine Liu has never been found. This
The shoes… also disappeared along with Concubine Liu’s body.”
"Oh?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, with a half sneer and half indifference on his face, "Seventh brother means that he suspects that your body, Concubine Liu, or Concubine Liu herself, is in this king's palace.
?”
Hearing this, the seventh prince quickly shook his head, "I believe that the eldest brother would not do such a thing, but if these pearls are indeed from Concubine Liu's shoes, then I am afraid that someone wants to frame the fault on the eldest emperor.
Brother, Mr. Li from the Criminal Department is here, so you might as well ask Mr. Li to search the house, so as to clear the suspicion for the eldest brother."
"Remove the suspicion?" Luo Qingyan smiled, "That's a good way to clear the suspicion. It's a Chinese New Year, and you come here like this. You really sincerely don't let people have a good New Year."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "After all, the accident happened to the concubine of the Seventh Prince, and the daughter of Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu. Now I am very excited to see something related to Miss Liu. But since we moved into this mansion,
So I chose the relatively quiet guest courtyard as the main courtyard. The main courtyard is on the opposite side of the lake, and we rarely come to this side. Maybe as the Seventh Prince said, someone did it deliberately and wanted to blame us, Prince Rui's Mansion.
.This is a Chinese New Year. If we can't get to the bottom of this incident, how can we calm everyone's minds? Even I, the princess, feel anxious in my heart. Why don't you let Mr. Li have a good time to check it out?
…”
When Luo Qingyan heard what Yun Shang said, although she was extremely reluctant on her face, she nodded, "Okay, it's up to you. But something like this happened during the Chinese New Year. It's very unlucky. Now you are pregnant with
If you’re pregnant, it’s better not to get involved in these things.”
"Look what the prince said, it's just a pearl. And didn't the seventh prince say that maybe nothing happened to Concubine Liu?" Yun Shang smiled and patted Luo Qingyan's hand, then turned to look at Liu Yin.
Feng and Li Qianmo smiled and said, "I'll trouble Mr. Liu and Mr. Li."
She believed that Li Qianmo was Ning Yunshang's man, but her belief could not let the Seventh Prince see the clues. So she deliberately brought Liu Yinfeng in, just to tell the Seventh Prince that she
I don’t believe in Li Qianmo, I only believe in Liu Yinfeng.
Liu Yinfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, was silent for a moment, and then raised his hand towards Yun Shang.
Li Qianmo also said quickly, "This official's duty is not to cause trouble for the princess. I will do my best to get to the bottom of the matter."
As Li Qianmo said this, he turned to the Seventh Prince and said, "If we want to search the house, I'm afraid it won't be possible just by being a low-ranking official. I also ask the Seventh Prince to send someone to the Ministry of Punishment to spread the word and ask all the officers from the Ministry of Punishment to come over."
."
The seventh prince nodded, then turned around and ordered his attendants to go and do it.
Everyone stood there waiting. Yun Shang stood there for a while and then said, "Everyone must be thirsty. Qin Yi can go get the tea set and make a cup of tea for everyone."
Qin Yi responded and was about to retreat when she heard Li Qianmo quickly say, "No, no one can leave here for the time being. Please forgive me, Princess."
Yun Shang paused, looking a little bad, then nodded, walked to the corridor and sat down. Seeing this, Luo Qingyan quickly walked to Yun Shang and squatted down and said, "But you don't feel well?"
Yun Shang shook his head, "It's okay." From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the seventh prince's eyes with a somewhat proud look, as if he had expected that Yun Shang wanted to make some preparations for this move.
Yun Shang smiled coldly, I'm afraid the Seventh Prince didn't know, he was a step too late.
After waiting for about half an hour, the housekeeper came in a hurry with the officers from the Ministry of Justice. Li Qianmo took the officers to search everywhere. The housekeeper quickly said, "The prince, the princess, and several young masters from the Duke's Mansion came with them.
The young lady is here to pay New Year’s greetings to the prince and princess.”
Yun Shang glanced at the others, stood up and said, "Can I go to the flower hall to receive the guests?"
The seventh prince was silent for a moment and nodded, "I just happened to feel a little tired, so I went to the flower hall to sit and rest for a while."
Yun Shang sneered, the seventh prince was really worried about them.
There was no emotion on his face, and he walked towards the flower hall with Luo Qingyan.
Arriving at the door of the flower hall, Yun Shang already had a faint smile on her face, and she entered the flower hall with Luo Qingyan, "Happy New Year to all my cousins."
Everyone in the flower hall quickly stood up and said, "Happy New Year to Prince Rui and Princess Rui." But their eyes caught sight of the Seventh Prince and his wife behind them, and they quickly saluted again, "I have met the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess."
Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang walked to the main seat and sat down. The Seventh Prince and Hua Yutong also sat down at the first place below, and everyone else took their seats one after another.
Because it was the New Year, everyone brought their children with them. Yan'er couldn't wait to rush towards Yun Shang, "Aunt, aunt, has my sister grown up?"
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard his childish words, "It's still early, how can you grow up so quickly?"
"Mother said that it takes ten months for a child to pop out." Another little boy who was following Yan'er quickly followed up, holding his hands behind his back, looking like a young gentleman.
Yan'er turned her head and glanced at him, "Ming'er, what you said is true. Why didn't mother tell me how long ten months is?" After saying that, she turned around and lay on Yun Shang's knees.
He started to look at Yun Shang, "Aunt, how long is ten months?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Ten months, just wait until the weather gets hot, catch crickets and cicadas, and then eat osmanthus honey and osmanthus cake in autumn, then you can see your brothers and sisters."
"Ah? It will take that long?" Yan'er pouted as if she was a little unhappy, and walked back to Shen Yilan languidly.
Ming'er followed behind him and muttered, "There are about thirty days in a month, and ten months are three hundred days. If you count a number every day, when you count to three hundred, it will be ten months."
When Yun Shang heard this, she laughed again, "Ming'er is so smart."
The New Year greetings were just a formality, and they had to visit many houses in one day. Everyone in Washington paid New Year greetings to Yun Shang and the others, sat down for a while, and then left early.
Yun Shang asked the housekeeper to send him off, then turned to Luo with a smile and said softly, "Yan'er is lively and Ming'er is like a little boy, but his homework is good. These two children are quite playful."
Hua Yutong had just been talking to everyone in the Washington Palace for a while. She seemed to have recovered from what she had just done, and said with a smile, "The princess's children must be very outstanding."
Yun Shang raised her hand and touched her belly that was not yet swollen, and said with a smile: "Looking at other children, some are lively and some are smart, but for my own children, I don't place too many demands on them.
As long as he is safe and happy."
Because Prince Rui's status in the court was considered high, many people in the court put Prince Rui's Mansion as the first place to visit when paying New Year's greetings. After everyone in the Washington Mansion left, several groups came to pay New Year's greetings.
When it was close to noon, it calmed down a little. Yun Shang felt a little tired. She stood up and said to the housekeeper, "Let someone prepare lunch. I feel a little tired. Ask Mr. Liu and Li
Sir, how are things going? After lunch, I also want to take a nap."
Luo Qingyan nodded and ordered the housekeeper to look for Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo.
After a while, Li Qianmo and Liu Yinfeng entered the flower hall with Liu and his wife. Liu and his wife frowned slightly, with anxious faces, but Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo looked very calm.
Yun Shang smiled, ordered his servants to pour tea for the four of them, and then spoke softly, "The four of you have been checking in the house for almost half a day, but have you found anything?"
The four of them looked at each other, and then Li Qianmo spoke, "Except for the pearl from before, nothing else was found. Although the pearl appeared a bit strange, there is really no way to investigate it."
Yun Shang saw the Seventh Prince frown slightly, as if he was a little suspicious. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Have you checked everything in the mansion?"
Li Qianmo quickly responded: "Yes, even the officials in the courtyard where Prince Rui and Princess Rui live have sent people to conduct a detailed inspection, and found nothing else."
"The appearance of this pearl is such a coincidence. The princess and the prince almost never go there, but it happened that when the seventh prince and Mrs. Liu came, the pearl appeared there, and almost made the seventh princess slip. It's really
There is something fishy. I feel that, as the Seventh Prince said before, someone is doing this deliberately, intending to frame Prince Rui's palace." Yun Shang said with an indifferent expression, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Liu.
"By the way, after the Seventh Prince's Palace said something happened to Concubine Liu, I and the prince went to the courtyard with Mr. Li to check it out. They found that when Concubine Liu married into the Seventh Prince's Palace, she only brought
There are four boxes, and there are only some clothes and daily things in the box. Even a box of books are books that every household has. I am a little curious. I heard that when Concubine Liu was in the boudoir, your Majesty gave her a gift.
She plays the Jiaowei Qin, and Concubine Liu likes it very much. I also heard that Concubine Liu has always been a person who does not write on peach blossom notes, or does Hui ink or paint. Why is it that these three things are not brought into the Seventh Prince's Palace by Concubine Liu?" (To be completed.)
