When the queen heard this, she laughed. The laughter was a bit joyful, but also mixed with a bit of ridicule: "Princess Rui doesn't have to pretend to be weak and ignorant in front of me. I know that Princess Rui had a big break in the summer in Kangyang City."
I have carefully studied the situation during the time of the Chinese army and every battle. Princess Rui is truly a heroine among women. Moreover, Princess Rui’s performance since arriving in Xia Kingdom is not outstanding, but Xia Kingdom is not Rui after all.
Regarding the princess, I have been thinking these days, if I were in this condition and age like Princess Rui, I might not be as good as Princess Rui."
The Queen looked at Yun Shang with burning eyes, but Yun Shang just smiled lightly and responded lightly: "Thank you, Queen, for your compliment."
"I used this method to lure you here just to make you cooperate with me. You also have to cooperate with me. Because you don't know what happened to your mother and concubine, and you dare not take your mother's concubine's
Your life is a bet." The queen's face was a bit cold, but there was a flash of light in her eyes.
Yun Shang had to admit that the queen guessed it right. Although she knew that the queen probably just ordered someone to find some things around her mother and concubine as blackmail, she didn't dare to bet.
"If the Queen has any orders, just tell her, why bother..." Yun Shang's face was a bit bitter.
"Why bother? Princess Rui is very thoughtful. If I make any mistakes, I'm afraid she will be doomed. Princess Rui, I would like to ask you today, are you willing to cooperate with me? Now that Prince Rui is missing, you
I have nothing to rely on anymore." The queen looked straight at Yun Shang, her voice was a little soft, but when it fell on Yun Shang, it made Yun Shang breathless.
Yun Shang was silent for a long time, looking at the plum blossoms behind the queen that had failed to bloom. The petals of the plum blossoms fell to the ground and were stepped into the soil by people coming and going.
"Queen, why don't you tell me?" Yun Shang said quietly.
The queen laughed and said, "I have received news that the Seventh Prince, Concubine Shen Shu, Mrs. Xian and the eldest princess have joined forces. The matter of Prince Rui's Mansion and the matter of Liu Changyi are most likely to be their fault. Once they succeed,
, none of us will get a good end. What I want is to keep the position of the queen, and you also need to inquire about the whereabouts of Prince Rui, and Prince Rui and them are mortal enemies, so it would be better for us to join forces and kill them all first.
.”
The queen's eyes were light, but there was a bit of determination in her eyes: "What I want is your intelligence. What I have is power and the support of the entire Su family."
Yun Shang pondered for a long time before slowly laughing: "My wife seems to have no reason to refuse?"
When the queen heard this, her smile became even brighter, "Then I hope we can catch you? But I have to remind Princess Rui that in this harem, it would be better for Princess Rui not to play tricks with me.
If I find that there is anything wrong with Princess Rui, I will definitely not show mercy."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and responded quickly. The queen laughed again and stood up, "If Princess Rui has always been so well-behaved, Concubine Jin will be fine."
After saying that, the queen walked out of the pavilion and led the eight palace guests outside the pavilion down the rockery.
Qianzui walked to Yun Shang and stood next to her without saying a word. She was not weak in martial arts, so she heard every word of what the two of them said just now.
The corner of Yun Shang's mouth curled up slightly, and she fiddled with the strings for a long time. The smile at the corner of her mouth became colder and colder. "One day, she will regret every word she said today." After Yun Shang finished speaking, she smiled to herself again.
Got up.
Qian Zhui's eyes fell on the piano and he exclaimed: "Princess, your fingers are bleeding."
Yun Shang nodded, calmly took out a carmine red brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the blood on her hands clean, and then stood up, "Let's go back to Zhaoxia Palace."
In the Zhaoxia Hall, Qinyi has not returned yet, but Qi Ruihai is already standing in the outer hall waiting.
Seeing Yun Shang coming back with a cup of wine, Qi Ruihai hurriedly came up to greet her and saluted Yun Shang: "I pay my respects to Princess Rui."
Yun Shang smiled lightly and looked at Qi Ruihai: "Eunuch Qi is here this time, but there is new progress in the case?"
Qi Ruihai responded quickly: "There is indeed a lot of progress. The results of the autopsy came out. It is said that although Liu Gengyi drowned, his internal organs were damaged. It should be that the internal force of the martial arts master was used to damage the internal organs, and then
He was thrown into the Yancui Lake and couldn't struggle, so he drowned."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? There is such a master in the palace? Then why didn't Eunuch Qi go find the murderer, but instead came to this princess' Chaoxia Palace?"
Qi Ruihai secretly raised his eyes, glanced at Qian Zui who was standing next to Yun Shang, and then responded with a somewhat flattering smile: "I came to Chaoxia Palace just to investigate the case. In addition to discovering
In addition to Liu Gengyi's internal injuries, the lower official also found a small piece of fabric in Liu Gengyi's clenched hand, which seemed to have been torn off. The lower official concluded that Liu Gengyi might have pulled it from the murderer's body during a struggle.
Come down."
A bad premonition flashed through Yun Shang's heart, and she heard Qi Ruihai's voice getting a little louder: "I asked the palace servants who were waiting for Liu Changyi in the Mingcui Palace to identify him, and they all said it looked like one of the maids beside the princess.
The fabric on the clothes. I heard that yesterday Liu Changyi had a conflict with the maid first, and I heard from the palace people that the maid seemed to be good at martial arts? "
Yun Shang noticed that the body of Qian Drink beside him had stiffened, and she sneered, "Oh, so it turns out that you are here to target my princess's maid?"
When Qi Ruihai heard this, he was frightened. He quickly took a cautious look at Yun Shang's face, then looked at Qian Zui and said, "Is this aunt? I wonder if aunt can bring me the clothes I wore yesterday?"
?”
Qian Zhui looked a little ugly and said coldly: "No."
Hearing this, Qi Ruihai's face was full of embarrassment, and he looked at Yun Shang with a bit of pleading. Yun Shang then said calmly: "I'm sorry, this girl's temper has been spoiled by this princess. Let's take a quick drink and go.
Bring me the clothes you wore yesterday."
Qian Zui then said with a straight face: "The clothes I was wearing yesterday did have a small piece torn, but it was torn off when I had a conflict with Liu Changyi in Luoxia Pavilion yesterday."
Yun Shang paused for a moment, sighed in her heart, and then raised her eyes to look at Qi Ruihai, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Qi Ruihai was stunned when he heard what Qianzuo said, and quickly saluted Yun Shang again: "It's just that the cloth was held by Liu Gengyi in his hand when he was dying. Please forgive me, Princess.
I'm afraid the officer needs to take this aunt back to the inner chamber to ask a few questions. Don't worry, Princess, if this aunt has never done this, she will be fine."
There was a hint of indifference in Yun Shang's eyes. She nodded lightly, turned around and said to Qian Zui: "You and Eunuch Qi will go to the inner chamber for a visit together. Don't get angry." As Yun Shang spoke, he
He raised his hand and gently brushed his hair.
Qian Zhui's eyes fell on Yun Shang's hand, and after pondering for a long time, he responded: "I understand, I understand." After saying that, he saluted Yun Shang and walked to Qi Ruihai.
Qi Ruihai hurriedly said goodbye and left the Chaoxia Palace with Qianzhu.
Yun Shang sat quietly in the hall, while Cai Yi walked in from the outside. After entering the hall, she kept looking back and looking out the door, with a bit of worry on her face: "Princess, isn't that Qi Ruihai, the internal supervisor?
?Why is he here? He also took away the girl Qianzhu."
Yun Shang raised his eyes and glanced at her, then curled his lips coldly and said, "I'm afraid someone wants to target me. Qianzuo is the only maid around me who knows martial arts. I originally had many secret guards around me.
, but the secret guards cannot enter the palace, so only Qianzui and Qinyi are left. Now that Qianzui, who knows martial arts, has been taken away, if someone wants to do harm to me, I have no power to fight back."
Cai Yi seemed a little shocked, and after a while she said: "How could anyone in this palace be unfavorable to the princess?"
Yun Shang smiled and stood up, "Who knows? Everything is possible. Come in and make me a pot of tea. I want fruit tea. I can't drink other tea while pregnant. By the way, those palace people in the palace
You are more familiar with it, so you can send someone to the inner chamber to inquire about it for me, and let me know what happened to them. I hope I won’t be tortured."
Caiyi quickly agreed and was silent for a moment before saying: "Qi Ruihai has always been a bully and shy of the strong. I just saw Qi Ruihai outside the door and was very respectful to the princess. I think he will not neglect Miss Qianzui either."
"I hope so." Yun Shang frowned, responded casually, turned around and entered the inner hall. What he was thinking about was that the palace maid named Caiyi was paying attention to the relationship between her and Qi Ruihai outside the door.
The movement was probably not as believable as she imagined.
Caiyi didn't know that Yun Shang was already suspicious of her, so she kept whispering: "I will send someone to the inner chamber to take a look." After saying that, she turned around and left the inner hall.
Yun Shang walked to the soft couch and lay down, frowning slightly. Obviously, the person behind the scenes should be very familiar with her situation, and knew that Qian Zui knew martial arts around her, so he specifically targeted Qian Zui.
.But, who will it be?
She shouldn't be the queen. If she were the queen, she would have used this matter as a threat before and would not have kept silent about it.
After a while, Caiyi came in with tea, poured tea for Yun Shang, and then bowed and left. Yun Shang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but the hot tea scalded her tongue. Yun Shang frowned.
Frowning, he put down the tea cup and swallowed the tea in his mouth silently.
Not long after, Qin Yi returned to the inner hall and saw Yun Shang lying on the soft couch and taking a nap, so she stood aside without making a sound. Yun Shang had already heard her footsteps, so she opened her eyes.
He said softly: "What's wrong?"
Qin Yi said quickly: "I asked carefully. After Qi Ruihai left Zhaoxia Palace, he went to Weiyang Palace. And..."
Qinyi wanted to continue talking, but Yun Shang suddenly interrupted Qinyi, "I know, the tea is a little cold, go and help me make another pot of tea."
Qinyi was a little confused, but when she saw Yun Shang staring at the door of the inner hall with a bit of coldness in her eyes, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, picked up the teapot, turned around and left the inner hall. (To be continued)
