"This can only mean that the coffin has been taken away." Yun Shang's voice was calm. The panic and despair that she had just seen in front of Xia Huanyu had long since disappeared. She was so calm and filled with convincing power.
Qin Yi was also a little confused, "But who took away the princess's coffin? Why did he take that thing alone? What's the use of taking it away?"
Yun Shang tapped her index finger lightly on the armrest of the chair, and then said after a while: "I guess that the prince probably took the coffin. He wanted to send me some message, but he was afraid that someone would find out before me.
With that information, if something happens to the palace, there will definitely be three layers of guards surrounding the palace. Just like us now, it is not easy for the secret guards to pass on the message. That's why the prince chose this method.
Come and send me a message..."
"What does the prince want to say?" This moment became the common doubt among the three masters and servants in the house.
Yun Shang pondered for a long time, and kept mumbling to herself: "Zhuang coffin, hairpin, earrings, bracelets... No, no. Zhuang coffin, makeup..."
Yun Shang's voice paused slightly, then she suddenly raised her head, "make up, pretend!"
"Your Majesty wants me to pretend." Yun Shang's voice was unusually clear and certain, "He wants me to pretend I don't know anything and just go with the development of the situation."
Qinyi and Qianzhui looked at each other, both of them a little confused.
However, Yun Shang had lowered his head again and quickly sorted out the only clues in his mind: the ribbon of the chamberlain around Xia Huanyu, the jade pendant, the oil-free, and the makeup coffin. Yun Shang vaguely understood in her heart that it must be Luo
Qingyan was conveying news to her, but Yun Shang didn't know whether her guesses were correct.
Especially the ribbon.
Yun Shang frowned. The servants in the palace rarely came to the mansion, and even if they came to the mansion, they would always be welcomed into the flower hall. They usually would not enter the inner courtyard. There were servants cleaning the mansion, and the place was very conspicuous.
, that ribbon must not have fallen there before.
In this case, a chamberlain from the palace must have been here before.
Could it be that the person who ordered it was someone from the palace?
Luo Qingyan must be fine, but where is Luo Qingyan now? Yun Shang is still a little uneasy, always feeling that this matter is like a conspiracy.
Now the courtyard where Yun Shang was staying was right next to the previous courtyard. You could faintly hear the sounds coming from there, as if there were many people talking.
Yun Shang sat quietly on the chair, lowering her head and looking at the patterns on her clothes for a long time.
I don't know what time it was, but Yun Shang heard the faint sound of footsteps in the yard. Qianzui and Qinyi stood on both sides of Yun Shang, looking out the door with burning eyes. Not long after, they saw a man dressed as a chamberlain leading the door.
Two old men with gray beards came over.
"Princess, Your Majesty has invited the imperial physician to come and ordered a servant to bring her to diagnose the princess's pulse." The chamberlain said softly.
Yun Shangfang seemed to raise his head blankly and looked at the person at the door. He was silent for a long time before stretching out his hand.
Seeing this, the two imperial doctors hurriedly stepped forward, took a silk handkerchief from the medicine box and put it on Yun Shang's arm, then stretched out two fingers to put on the silk handkerchief to diagnose Yun Shang's pulse.
The room became quiet, and there was no sound for a while.
After a while, the doctor stood up and was replaced by another person.
The two of them checked their pulses one by one and then said softly to Yun Shang: "The princess is weak and the fetus in her belly is already a little unstable. I also ask the princess not to be overjoyed or sad, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be good."
Qinyi said quickly: "Do you need a prescription?"
The imperial doctor shook his head gently and said: "It's a medicine that is three-part poison. If the princess is neither overjoyed nor overly sad, it will be fine."
Qin Yi responded, and the two imperial doctors saluted Yun Shang again and hurriedly retreated. The chamberlain who came with the imperial doctor also hurriedly left the room.
After a while, footsteps sounded again, and this time it was Liu Wen'an.
There was no smile on Liu Wen'an's face. He looked at the situation in the room and then said softly: "Just now, the imperial physician has reported to Your Majesty that the princess should not be overjoyed or sad, otherwise the fetus in her belly will be in danger of miscarriage.
Your Majesty has sent the Ministry of Punishment and many imperial guards to continue to investigate the matter at the palace. Just now, the work of the Ministry of Punishment came for inspection and proved that the body was not that of Prince Rui. Princess, please rest assured. Your Majesty is worried that the palace is not safe, and the people in the palace are not safe.
Everyone is dead, and there is no one to serve the princess. I have specially ordered servants to invite the princess to the palace to rest for a few days. When the truth is revealed, the princess can return to the palace."
Yun Shang's complexion improved slightly after hearing what Liu Wen'an said, but...
Entering the palace? Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, raised her eyes, and quickly turned around in her mind. After a while, she raised her head: "As Princess Rui, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to enter the palace. There are no servants in the palace to serve me.
And since it’s not safe, I can also go to the Duke’s Mansion to live there for a while. The Duke is also the prince’s grandfather..."
Hearing this, Liu Wen'an quickly said: "I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion is not safe. Wasn't the Duke also poisoned in the house a few days ago? This time there was such a tragedy in Prince Rui's Mansion, the murderer must be Chong.
It is most appropriate for the princess to enter the palace with the prince and princess. The palace is heavily guarded and is very safe. And the princess does not have to worry. Before the princes and princesses leave the palace to establish their own mansions, they are all educated in the palace. If the princess is worried
Rumor has it, you can live in the Linglong Palace where the princesses live."
Yun Shang's face seemed hesitant, and Liu Wen'an continued: "I know that the princess is reluctant to leave the palace, but this is just a stopgap measure, but the princess is pregnant now, even if she doesn't think about herself, it is better.
I was born to think about the child in my belly. I have to say it harshly, but this mansion is so unsafe. If the child has a problem, I'm afraid it will be too late for the princess to regret it."
Yun Shang shrank her shoulders, bit her lower lip, pondered for a long time, and then sighed softly, "Just like Manager Liu said."
Liu Wen'an then laughed and said, "Okay, as long as the princess has figured it out, I will go and prepare the carriage for the princess." After saying that, he saluted Yun Shang and left.
Yun Shang squinted at the swaying door curtain that was raised and lowered by Liu Wen'an. A look of doubt flashed in her eyes. Xia Huanyu went through so much trouble and sent Liu Wen'an to persuade her to enter the palace. After all, what happened?
What is it for?
"Princess..." Qin Yi looked at Yun Shang, frowning slightly with some hesitation.
Yun Shang smiled and said softly: "It doesn't matter, you can enter the palace as soon as you enter the palace. Once you enter the palace, the secret guards can't do anything, so they stay around the palace. Maybe the prince can send a message when he comes back."
Just as he said this, he heard Xiao Yuanshan's voice coming from outside, seeming to be dealing with the imperial guards at the door. Yun Shang raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi quickly walked out of the house. After a while,
Then he walked in with Xiao Yuanshan.
Xiao Yuanshan stood at the door and stared at Yun Shang for a while, then said softly: "It seems that I am too worried, but you are much calmer than I thought."
Yun Shang smiled lightly and said, "I would like to thank my grandfather for his teaching."
Xiao Yuanshan walked to sit opposite Yun Shang, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then Liu Wen'an came and asked me to move to the inn, and said you want to move to the palace?"
Yun Shang nodded lightly: "Your Majesty said that the palace is not very safe, so he asked me to move to the palace, but I will live in the Linglong Palace where the princesses live."
Xiao Yuanshan nodded, glanced at Yun Shang, and then said calmly: "Looking at your expression, I think Luo Qingyan is fine. Has he contacted you?"
Yun Shang shook his head.
When Xiao Yuanshan saw this, he frowned and was silent for a moment before saying again: "Have you ever thought about it, Luo Qingyan's temperament has never been easy to deal with. If someone comes to assassinate him, he will definitely order the secret guards to kill him.
No one was left. This time, why did he make such an arrangement? I just took a closer look. Although there were corpses everywhere in the house, there were almost no traces of fighting. This shows that after Luo Qingyan discovered the situation, he directly took the people with him.
gone."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yuanshan. She had never noticed whether there were any signs of fighting. If Xiao Yuanshan said so, then Luo Qingyan almost immediately took the people away after discovering the intrusion.
That's right. This kind of behavior is indeed very different from the Luo Qingyan that Yun Shang knows.
Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Xiao Yuanshan knew that she had heard it, "I guess he must have discovered the identity of the murderer, or the identity of the person behind the scenes, and wanted to take advantage of it."
Hearing this, Yun Shang nodded subconsciously. She was just following a trick. Luo Qingyan asked her to pretend, but she was just following a trick.
The two of them were talking when they heard footsteps coming from outside, and then Liu Wen'an walked in. He was not surprised to see Xiao Yuanshan there, and he bowed and said: "Princess, Mrs. Xiao, Mr. Xiao,
Please, the carriage is ready."
Yun Shang and Xiao Yuanshan stood up together and left the house. There were guards guarding the yard. When they left the yard, they saw guards passing by holding torches from time to time, hurriedly passing by.
Yun Shang turned her head and glanced at the burned yard beside her. She paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and followed Liu Wen'an out of the house.
After getting on the carriage, not long after, they entered the palace.
Perhaps Xia Huanyu had sent someone to the palace to inform him earlier. When Yun Shang followed Liu Wen'an to Linglong Palace, the queen's personal maid was already standing in front of the palace gate waiting.
Seeing Liu Wen'an walking over with Yun Shang, the palace maid glanced at Yun Shang lightly, and then quickly moved away, "Princess Rui will live in Zhaoxia Hall in Linglong Palace from now on, Queen Mother
I’ve already ordered someone to clean it.”
Yun Shang quickly saluted in the direction of Weiyang Palace to thank her. The palace maid glanced at Yun Shang again, then hurriedly saluted and left.
Liu Wen'an took Yun Shang to the Chaoxia Palace, and then said softly: "Today something unexpected happened, Princess, I will just spend the night. I asked some palace servants who were waiting in Taiji Palace to come and wait on Princess.
If you have any orders, tomorrow I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find some palace servants for the princess."
Yun Shang responded repeatedly, and then Liu Wen'an retreated.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the palace in front of her. The palace was very clean. There were several tables and chairs placed in the main hall, with the main seat at the front. There was a screen behind the chair, covered with a layer of gauze. Although it was not a big one,
It was so gorgeous, but with a sense of dignity unique to the palace. Yun Shang turned around and saw many palace people standing outside the palace.
Yun Shang laughed, with a bit of bitterness in her smile. She seemed to be imprisoned in this gorgeous and noble palace. (To be continued)
