The seventh prince and the eldest princess are at odds? Yun Shang raised his eyebrows, but he had never heard anyone mention this. Yun Shang thought to himself, then lowered his head and said nothing.
The queen then said again: "I heard that you and the seventh princess are quite close, but that child doesn't go to the palace very much. He looks lively, but he is an introvert."
Yun Shang didn't know why the queen mentioned Hua Yutong, so she smiled and said softly: "The Seventh Prince is now leading the troops on an expedition, and she is the only mistress in the Seventh Prince's house. She is afraid that there are too many things to worry about, so she neglected it.
Bar."
The queen smiled when she heard this, and then said softly: "That's true."
The queen raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned lightly, then smiled and said: "I got up early in the morning, but I'm a little tired. I'm afraid you didn't sleep well last night, so go back and catch up on your sleep first.
"
Yun Shang quickly bowed and retreated, standing in a daze at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
"Princess, do you want to go to the Xiangzhu Hall to sit down?" Seeing this, Qianzui asked quickly.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then Fang shook his head, "Now I have a lot of troubles, so I'd better keep some distance from Concubine Xiang." After saying that, he walked towards Linglong Palace.
Linglong Palace is in the west of the palace, by the Yancui Lake, which is a good location. Yun Shang walked to the Yancui Lake. There were many willow trees planted by the Yancui Lake. Although the winter has not yet passed, the willow trees have already begun to bloom.
It sprouted.
Yun Shang was walking slowly by the lake when she heard a woman's voice: "I moved in in the middle of the night yesterday. You don't know it. I also heard from the palace servants today. It was reported early in the morning."
opened."
"From what the Queen said, Prince Rui is afraid of bad luck this time. However, Prince Rui's whereabouts are still unknown. The princess has already entered the palace. I don't know what Prince Rui will think if he comes back safely in the future, haha...
"
"I thought she was a bit unusual. You're talking about a princess. I heard that your majesty once played chess with her alone. Although your majesty is the father of Prince Rui, you have to avoid it at least. Before that, I thought they were
This is what Ning Guo is like. Now I realize that I dare to have ulterior motives. Prince Rui has suffered a lot. I don’t know how many cuckolds he has been cuckolded. I heard that he is pregnant. I don’t know whose child this child is..."
The voice was not very low, and accompanied by bursts of laughter, it seemed particularly harsh.
Both Qinyi and Qianzui had anger on their faces. Qianzui had always been impatient and wanted to teach him a lesson when he saw this, but Yun Shang held his hand. Yun Shang shook his head at Qianzui and turned around to face him.
Went in another direction.
"Princess... you just let them talk nonsense like this? As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. If these rumors spread, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the princess." Qian Zui looked a little impatient.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "We are new here, and we offended people so recklessly. We have promised to live in the palace for a while. What if someone does something evil to us?"
"Then just ignore them?" Qianzui frowned, looking a little unhappy.
"They have mouths on them, so you can say whatever you like." Yun Shang said calmly, her eyes falling on the new buds of the willow tree in the distance, and after a long while she said: "However, you can remember all the people who were here just now.
, they will eventually get their comeuppance.”
When Qian Zui heard what Yun Shang said, he knew that Yun Shang already knew it in his heart. After being silent for a moment, he turned around and said: "I have to go and write down the appearance of those people one by one. I won't be looking for revenge when the time comes."
Wrong person."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and followed her. She took Qin Yi back to Zhaoxia Palace first.
Before stepping into the door of Chaoxia Palace, I heard the palace attendant at the door saying: "The princess is back, and just now your majesty's chamberlain came and said that your majesty announced that the princess is going to the meeting hall."
The meeting hall? Yun Shang's footsteps paused slightly, maybe there was some clue about the matter. Yun Shang didn't even step into the door of the hall, so she hurried to the meeting hall with Qin Yi.
There were quite a few people in the meeting hall. Yun Shang glanced slightly and mentally numbered everyone present.
Yun Shang walked quickly to the palace and saluted Xia Huanyu: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Xia Huanyu was talking to Liu Wen'an, and when he heard Yun Shang's voice, he waved his hand casually and said, "Get back on your feet."
Yun Shang stood up.
Xia Huanyu and Liu Wen'an talked for a while, then turned back to Yun Shang and said: "I called you here today because there has been some progress in the affairs of Prince Rui's Mansion. I think what you are most concerned about should be
Now that this matter is over, I will ask you to come and listen. Li Qianmo, please talk to Princess Rui."
Li Qianmo, who was standing aside chatting with several officials, heard the words and quickly responded, walked to Yun Shang and saluted Yun Shang: "I want to ask the princess first, is there any smoke in your house?"
Fragrant habit?"
Yun Shang frowned and responded softly: "I used to like to inhale some light plum blossom fragrance, but since I was pregnant, the doctor said that incense is bad for the body, so I haven't used it anymore."
Li Qianmo frowned slightly and nodded, "The incident in Prince Rui's Mansion, judging from the clues currently available, seems to be somewhat similar to the disappearance of Military Master Liu."
"Liu Yinfeng?" A look of surprise flashed in Yun Shang's eyes.
She had heard about Liu Yinfeng's disappearance right away, but she had never had a more detailed understanding. However, according to Yun Shang's judgment, Liu Yinfeng's disappearance was most likely related to the Seventh Prince.
But now the Seventh Prince is leading the troops and is not in Jincheng. The fact that King Rui was poisoned by the Snow Lotus is probably known to everyone in Jincheng, so why would he bother to do so?
?
"What are the similarities?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Li Qianmo thought for a while and then explained everything to Yun Shang in detail: "Just now, the official asked the princess if she had the habit of burning incense in the house. It was because the official found a piece of incense in the house that was on fire.
Incense is incense with the scent of peach blossoms. This thing was also found at the scene when Military Master Liu disappeared."
"Is there anything unusual about the peach blossom fragrance? Is it contaminated with some kind of drug that can cause coma?" Yun Shang was a little surprised and asked quickly.
But Li Qianmo shook his head: "I think the strange thing is here. The incense picked up from the crime scene is nothing special. It is just ordinary incense. You can buy it in any spice shop on the street.
There was no trace of any drugs, but it appeared at the scene where Military Master Liu and Prince Rui disappeared at the same time. The official asked the boy who served Military Master Liu before, and he also said that Military Master Liu had never had the habit of incense.
.”
Yun Shang frowned slightly and fell silent.
After a long while, Yun Shang raised his head and asked, "Apart from this, are there any other clues? How many people died in Prince Rui's mansion?"
Li Qianmo lowered his head and looked at the notebook in his hand for recording, and said in a deep voice: "There are one hundred and thirty-seven people in total, eighty-two men and fifty-five women."
One hundred and thirty-seven people.
Yun Shang stood with a frown on her face, briefly recalling the list of people in the mansion reported by the housekeeper earlier. There were thirty-seven people in Prince Rui's house including housekeepers, housekeepers, and accountants, eighty-nine maids, and kitchen workers.
There are more than 260 craftsmen, concierges, houseboys, etc., a total of 392 people. Among these more than 300 people, some are kitchen workers, gardeners, concierges, and houseboys. Because they are part-time workers, they have to go home to live every day.
, there should only be about 220 people staying in the mansion at night, so 137 people died in one fell swoop.
When Yun Shang came from Ning State to Xia State, he brought only more than 30 to less than 40 people. Later, he asked the housekeeper to go to Ren Yazi to select some innocent people.
Most of these people were waiting in or around the courtyard where Yun Shang lived, and they should be familiar faces. Fortunately, Yun Shang did not see any of these familiar faces among the people he looked at last night.
Li Qianmo then started to read again: "Most of the servants who were killed outside had sword wounds, and most of them were killed with one sword. There were not many signs of fighting at the scene, and there were almost no signs of struggle.
. This shows that the murderer was very clean and neat, and the number of people should not be small. The three people who were burned to death in the yard were two women and one man. Both women looked like they were in their thirties, and they had a gun on their waist.
I found the entry and exit token from the palace, it says "purchase", it should be the purchaser of the kitchen."
"The man is between twenty-seven and thirty years old, with a slender figure and strong muscle texture. He should be a person who practices martial arts all year round. Just look at the bones and texture of his hands, he should be left-handed. The King Rui Order on his waist
The cards are also fake."
As a left-handed person, Yun Shang was silent for a moment. In his impression, among the people serving in the courtyard, there seemed to be no such person with such characteristics.
"By the way, I also found two mousetraps in a flowerbed at the entrance of the yard. There seemed to be some blood stains on one of the mousetraps, and a piece of torn cloth hung on it." Li Qianmo walked aside.
, picked up a plate placed aside and walked to Yun Shang.
There is a piece of cloth on the plate, a dark blue cloth. The workmanship of the cloth seems to be good, but it is not a high-quality work. There are some patterns embroidered on the cloth with black silk thread, but the cloth is only about the size of a palm.
Shang couldn't figure out what the pattern was.
Yun Shang glanced lightly and said nothing.
Li Qianmo put the plate next to him and said softly: "These are the only things we have found so far. I will go to the mansion later to take a look. Maybe there will be some new clues."
Yun Shang nodded, was silent for a while, and then said: "Is there any progress in Liu Yinfeng's case now? Since you said that the prince's disappearance is somewhat related to Liu Yinfeng's disappearance, I want to see the file." (
