"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Cai Yi, with a bit of consideration in her eyes, "I don't know who the guard was last night. Can Cai Yi let him in? I have something to ask.
Question. I'm just a little curious. Since there was someone guarding him, how did Liu Gengyi get out of the east side hall of Mingcui Palace and arrive at Yancui Lake?"
Cai Yi frowned slightly and was silent for a moment before responding softly: "The people guarding Mingcui Palace are two chamberlains named Xiang Fu and Xiang Wen. To be honest with the princess, from this morning to now,
I have never seen them before, but I have been looking for them since I heard something happened to Liu Changyi."
"Missing?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with contemplation.
Cai Yi bit her lip, and her face looked a little unhappy, "We can't make a conclusion right now. The palace servant who went to look for them has been there for about a quarter of an hour. The results should be available soon."
Yun Shang pondered for a while, then paused lightly while knocking on the table, "Since it still takes a while, go ahead and show me the information on those two people."
Cai Yi nodded lightly, "It's just that the information is still in the inner chamber, so I will go get it now." After saying that, he retreated.
Yun Shang frowned. Yesterday, there were many people who saw her punishing Liu Gengyi outside the Luoxia Pavilion. The two servants guarding Liu Gengyi disappeared again, and Liu Gengyi's body appeared in Yancui.
Everything in the lake seemed more like a trap specifically targeted at her. But I didn't know who was setting it up.
"Princess, you think Cai Yi is a little unreliable?" Qin Yi knelt down and refilled Yun Shang's tea, her voice inaudible.
Yun Shang thought for a moment and shook her head, "She has been waiting in the Taiji Palace before. Since Liu Wen'an assigned her to the Chaoxia Palace to wait on me, she should have no problem. But she was originally waiting in front of Xia Huanyu.
, I'm afraid she also misses Xia Huanyu in her heart. Who wouldn't want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix? Liu Wen'an suddenly sent her to the Chaoxia Palace. She was probably a little reluctant in her heart, so she looked like a phoenix.
She is not very attentive, but she did what she was supposed to do, and I never doubted her. But that Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu..."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly, "I have some intuition, and I always feel that there is something wrong with these two people."
However, before Caiyi could send the information about Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu, the eunuch came, and it was Eunuch Qi whom he had met before at Yancui Lake.
Eunuch Qi was very polite to Yun Shang. After being ushered in by the palace servants, he hurriedly saluted Yun Shang and said, "Internal Chamberlain Qi Ruihai pays homage to Princess Rui."
When Yun Shang saw this, she laughed and said, "Eunuch Qi, there is no need to be so polite. It makes me feel a little at a loss. Qinyi, show me your seat to Eunuch Qi."
Qin Yi quickly moved the stool behind Qi Ruihai. Qi Ruihai quickly thanked her and sat down.
Yun Shang raised her slender hand and took off the lid of the tea cup at hand. She raised her eyes and looked at Qi Ruihai, "Eunuch Qi is here, but for Liu's changing clothes?"
Qi Ruihai didn't seem to expect that Yun Shang would go straight to the topic so straightforwardly. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, Princess Rui has heard about it! That Liu Changyi is not a light thing or a heavy one, but it is also His Majesty's.
As a concubine, I was entrusted by the Queen to investigate the matter thoroughly. I just interrogated the palace attendants around Liu Gengyi, and the palace servants mentioned that Liu Gengyi had something happened with the Princess by the side of Yancui Lake yesterday.
Unpleasant, the official thought, if the princess could tell the official about the matter, it might be of some help in handling the case."
When Yun Shang heard this, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart. This Qi Ruihai was quite a man. After what he said, he spoke in a very official tone, but in reality he still wanted to interrogate her. No wonder the queen sent him to investigate the case.
Woolen cloth……
Yun Shang smiled lightly and nodded gently in response: "The unpleasantness that Eunuch Qi mentioned is indeed true. Yesterday, I went to the meeting hall to discuss some matters with His Majesty. On the way back, I heard
His Majesty sent Cai Yi, the palace servant who served me, to report that the maid I brought into the palace had a conflict with Liu Changyi outside the Luoxia Pavilion by the Yancui Lake. My maid is impatient, and I was afraid that she would offend the palace.
The noble man hurried away."
Yun Shang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued: "Who would have thought that as soon as we arrived outside the Luoxia Pavilion, we would hear Liu Gengyi slandering His Majesty and me without any restraint. This slander would be a serious crime if His Majesty really considered it.
It's just that I'm an outsider and it's not easy to deal with it, so I wanted Caiyi to report it to His Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. But Liu Changyi didn't want to repent, so he contradicted me in front of everyone, so I ordered Caiyi to follow the palace rules.
According to the rules in the book, I was punished with twenty slaps, but in fact I only got one slap, and then Concubine Xiang came. I thought that Concubine Xiang must have something to do with me, so I asked Caiyi to deal with it, and I went with Concubine Xiang.
The empress has returned to Zhaoxia Palace."
Yun Shang frowned slightly and sighed softly, "Later, I heard Caiyi say that she reported the matter to Manager Liu, but before Manager Liu could handle it, she sent two chamberlains to look at Liu Changyi and wait for His Majesty.
But the strange thing is that this morning, we also discovered that the two chamberlains who were sent to take care of Liu Changyi were missing."
"Gone?" Eunuch Qi looked a little surprised.
Yun Shang nodded lightly: "Yes, Caiyi has already sent someone to look for it. I just asked Caiyi to go to the inner chamber supervisor to bring me the files of the two chamberlains. I thought, if
The two chamberlains were staring at each other. How could Liu Gengyi leave the East Side Palace and throw himself into the Yancui Lake without anyone knowing about it? Moreover, Liu Gengyi looked at the soft and weak look, and it was impossible to tell the two chamberlains that Liu Gengyi
Give……"
Yun Shang paused and didn't say any more, but Qi Ruihai had already understood and said quickly: "I understand, I will go back and take a look at Miss Caiyi. But when you get to the inner chamber, the chamberlain's information is generally not allowed to be taken away.
Yes, I will hand it over to Miss Caiyi when I get back."
"Then thank you so much, Eunuch Qi." Yun Shang smiled lightly, and then said: "This matter is quite strange. Something like that just happened yesterday, and today Liu Changyi is gone.
In this case, I'm afraid many people will think it was me, but I will have to trouble Eunuch Qi to find out everything and clear my name."
"Princess's words are strong, it's just my responsibility." Qi Ruihai smiled quickly and retreated.
Yun Shang watched Qi Ruihai's figure disappear outside the hall, then took a sip of tea, sneered, and didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Yun Shang stood up and said to Qin Yi: "Let's go to Xiang Bamboo Hall and walk around."
Qinyi quickly took the cloak and put it on Yun Shang, then followed Yun Shang slowly towards the Xiangzhu Palace. Along the way, Yun Shang was vaguely aware that many palace people were pointing at her.
They must be talking about Liu Changyi.
Yun Shang sneered, walked forward without squinting, and soon arrived at the Xiangzhu Hall.
After entering the Xiangzhu Hall, there were no other concubines. Ning Qian was standing in the hall. In front of her were more than a dozen palace servants, all holding trays. There were many objects placed on the trays, including the most fashionable makeup.
Satin, jade Ruyi, jewelry and other various things. Yun Shang understood the battle as soon as he saw it, smiled and said: "Is it a reward from your Majesty?"
There was not much happiness on Ning Qian's face, she just nodded lightly, waved her hand, and asked the row of palace guests to retreat, "Since I was diagnosed as pregnant, Your Majesty has been sending all kinds of gifts non-stop.
All kinds of rewards came over, and some of them were single pieces. I don’t know how many people were jealous of them. I’m afraid there are many people who secretly wanted to kill me. Just like the colorful satin just now, I heard that it was Maochenghua.
It took more than three years to weave it, and just this one piece was sent to the palace. The pattern is the hibiscus flower that the queen likes. At first glance, it seems that he intends to please the queen, but your majesty had someone send it directly. "
Yun Shang frowned when she heard what Ning Qian said, "Have you told Xia Huanyu?"
Ning Qian was silent for a moment, then nodded gently and said: "As I said before, when Your Majesty came to the Xiangzhu Palace, I said that these rewards are too valuable, and please don't do this again in the future. At that time, Your Majesty
I agreed very readily, but it still looks like this. I almost don’t dare to use these things after they are given to me. If I use them or give them to others, I am afraid that others will think that I am showing off, so I will just do it.
We can put them all in the warehouse."
Yun Shang nodded, thinking in her heart that Xia Huanyu couldn't possibly not know the consequences of these rewards, but still insist on going his own way. I'm afraid that the person who wants to use Ning Qian as bait will most likely be targeted.
They belong to Su Ruji and Su Mansion.
However, not everyone can afford to offend the Su family. If she is not careful, Ning Qian may be in great danger.
Yun Shang was silent for a long time, then said calmly: "Give me your hand, and I will feel your pulse."
When Ning Qian heard the words, she quickly stretched out her hand, and Yun Shang put her hand on it. After a while, she said: "The Hua pulse is still a little weak and unstable. You have been here for more than a month, so you shouldn't be."
When Ning Qian heard this, she just retracted her hand lightly and said nothing.
Yun Shang didn't mention it anymore, and glanced around the room, only to see two pots of jasmine placed in the room. It was only February, and small white flowers had already bloomed, carrying a faint fragrance.
Come.
Yun Shang frowned, "Why is this jasmine flower blooming now?"
Ning Qian's eyes fell on the jasmine flower, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of amusement: "Your Majesty has always liked jasmine. He thinks this flower is elegant and elegant. I have used a lot of methods. I have been lighting the brazier in the house this winter.
Only then did the jasmine bloom in this season, and there are more of them in my bedroom.” (To be continued)
