Qinyi left the inner hall, and Yun Shang simply followed him out. He saw Caiyi standing quietly at the door of the outer hall, but Yun Shang saw the hem of her skirt swaying slightly. She felt even colder in her heart.
, Yun Shang stood in the outer hall for a while, and when she saw Qinyi coming over, she raised her head and looked at Caiyi and said: "It's almost spring, but today the grass in the yard in front of the hall is covered with frost.
, I almost fell down when I walked past, Caiyi, please take someone to remove the frost."
When Caiyi heard this, she quickly turned her head and saluted: "Yes."
Yun Shang stopped looking at her, turned around and entered the inner hall with Qin Yi again. However, the first thing he did after entering the inner hall was to open the window. Yun Shang stood by the window and looked out.
Then he saw Caiyi standing in the courtyard in front of the palace, instructing the palace people to take bamboo branches and knock off all the frost on the grass. Then he ordered people to bring plant ash to spread a layer on the wet road.
After Caiyi ordered the palace servants to get the plant ashes, she raised her head and looked towards the inner hall from a distance, but her eyes met Yun Shang's without any bias. Caiyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned back.
Headed.
Qin Yi watched Yun Shang's movements and walked to stand next to Yun Shang. However, she happened to see this scene. Her heart skipped a beat and she began to guess: "Just now, Caiyi was eavesdropping on us outside the palace?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly and curled her lips coldly, "You just talked about Qi Ruihai, how is Caiyi?"
Only then did Qin Yi come back to her senses and quickly responded: "Cai Yi didn't find anything wrong. After coming out of Chaoxia Palace, he went straight to the inner chamberlain. And when the servants inquired, it seemed that the inner chamberlain was unwilling to give things away.
After taking it out, Caiyi had a quarrel with the people in the inner chamber. Afterwards, there was a stalemate in the inner chamber. It was not until Qi Ruihai returned to the inner chamber that Caiyi got what the princess ordered. Then he hurried back.
Go to Chaoxia Palace."
Yun Shang nodded but did not speak.
"Princess, you suspect that Caiyi was responsible for Liu changing his clothes?" Qin Yi glanced at Yun Shang's face before speaking softly.
A dark and unclear look flashed in Yun Shang's eyes. After a long time, she smiled: "That's not necessarily true. There is no evidence yet. She was just eavesdropping on our conversation. Maybe it was His Majesty's order. The prince is missing.
It's so strange, maybe His Majesty thought I knew something, so he deliberately asked Caiyi to find out."
Hearing this, Qin Yi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak after all.
Yun Shang stood quietly by the bed for a long time, then turned around and said to Qin Yi: "Qian Zui was taken away by the servants."
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Yun Shang meant. She hurriedly said, "They suspect that Qian Zui killed Liu Geng Yi. Is there any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly, "They said they found a small piece of fabric on Liu Gengyi's hand, which was torn from Qian Zui's dress."
"How could Qianzuo do such a thing?" Qin Yi frowned, looking a little pale.
Hearing this, Yun Shang also smiled and said faintly: "Yes, how could Qianzuo do such a thing? But we have no evidence."
"Then Princess, what should we do now?" Qin Yi looked at Yun Shang with a bit of worry. Now that something happened to Prince Rui's Mansion, something happened to Qian Zui. Who will happen next?
Yun Shang turned around, walked to the soft couch and lay down, "I can only take one step and look at the other."
In the evening, the sky suddenly became dark, and a light rain began to fall. Yun Shang sat on the soft couch and held a book, but she never turned a page for a long time.
Caiyi had already ordered someone to bring dinner and stood at the door of the inner hall to invite Yun Shang to eat. Yun Shang silently put down the book in his hand and walked out of the inner hall.
After dinner, Yun Shang felt a little bored, so she ordered someone to prepare hot water for a bath.
Qin Yi took off Yun Shang's clothes and hung them on a wooden shelf nearby. Then she helped Yun Shang get into the water, took a handkerchief and washed Yun Shang, with a bit of joy on her face: "Princess's
My belly looks a bit pregnant."
Yun Shang raised her head and gently touched her lower abdomen, with a smile on her face, "This child is quite well-behaved, unlike..." Yun Shang paused mid-sentence. It was not like her in the previous life.
Huan'er is so noisy.
Yun Shang smiled again and then continued: "It's not as noisy as the child in Lin Youran's belly."
"Yes." Qin Yi didn't know why, so she also laughed, "After you start to show your pregnancy, your belly will look bigger and bigger day by day. We have prepared a lot of clothes before, all of which are wide.
The robe with long sleeves was just right for the princess, but it’s a pity that it was completely burned.”
"It's just a few pieces of clothes, just make them. Now that we are in the palace, we may still be short of clothes." Yun Shang said casually.
"Yes." Qin Yi smiled, then applied Zhuling on Yun Shang and washed Yun Shang's long hair.
The weather was cold and the water cooled quickly. Qinyi was afraid that Yun Shang would catch a cold, so she washed herself very quickly. After helping Yun Shang get out of the tub, Qin Yi hurriedly took the clean clothes and pants placed aside.
Picking it up, they saw a streak of white falling from their clothes. The two of them turned around and looked at the place where the thing fell. It was a piece of paper.
Yun Shang and Qin Yi looked at each other. Qin Yi quickly picked up the paper, unfolded it, looked at it, and then handed it to Yun Shang. Yun Shang only glanced at it, nodded, and said to Qin Yi: "
Wait for me to dress."
Qinyi responded, folded the paper, put it into her sleeves, and hurriedly put on the inner and outer clothes for Yun Shang.
After the two of them went out, Qin Yi quickly ordered someone to bring two more charcoal basins in, and used a handkerchief to disperse Yun Shang's hair and wipe it carefully.
After a while, Caiyi walked in from the outside. Seeing Qinyi busy, she hurriedly said: "Aunt Qinyi, thank you for your hard work. Let me come."
Qinyi glanced at Yun Shang, then stood up with a smile and handed the handkerchief to Caiyi. Caiyi knelt down and wiped it with Yun Shang in the same way Qinyi had just done.
After a long while, Yun Shang slowly opened her mouth: "How's the drink? Did the chamberlain use torture on her?"
Caiyi said quickly: "I asked the people in the inner chamberlain to inquire about it, but no torture was used. I heard that Eunuch Qi treated the girl Qianzui very favorably. He only asked a few questions and put Qianzui in the prison of the chambermaid.
It's the best room. The servants specially asked them to prepare an extra bed of cotton wool for Miss Qianzhu because it's cold at night."
Yun Shang secretly raised her eyebrows, squinted her eyes, then nodded and said, "That's good."
Caiyi wiped Yun Shang's wet hair until it was half dry, and Yun Shang raised her hand, "No need, just let it dry next to the brazier."
Caiyi put away the handkerchief, stood aside and picked up the teapot to add some tea to Yun Shang. Yun Shang picked up the book beside him and started reading.
Qinyi glanced at Yunshang, then raised her eyes to look at Caiyi, and asked softly with a smile: "Miss Caiyi looks young, but she can be trusted by His Majesty. She must be very smart and capable."
Caiyi never thought that Qinyi would chat with her in front of Yun Shang. She glanced at Yun Shang in surprise, but when she saw that Yun Shang didn't even raise her head, she thought that they could get along with each other easily when they were in Prince Rui's Mansion.
This was the case, but she was a person controlled by the palace rules after all, so she just lowered her voice and replied: "Aunt Qinyi is joking, I am already twenty-six years old."
"Twenty-six years old?" Qin Yi seemed a little surprised, "I couldn't tell. I thought you were only seventeen or eighteen years old. However, most palace ladies are released from the palace at the age of twenty-five..."
Caiyi lowered his head silently and smiled softly: "After this slave entered the palace, a drastic change occurred in the family. Now there is no one in the family, and there is no use for this slave to go back, so he simply stayed in the palace."
Qin Yi saw Cai Yi's expression and said quickly: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know..."
Cai Yi smiled, shook her head, and replied, "It doesn't matter."
Yun Shang read for a while, and her hair was completely dry. Yun Shang was also a little tired. Qinyi and Caiyi quickly helped Yun Shang to sleep on the bed. Qinyi put down the bed curtain and said
: "Princess has changed places to sleep, and she always has trouble sleeping. Originally, Qianzui was waiting in the room, and I was in the cubicle. Today, Qianzui is not here, so I will wait in the room."
Caiyi nodded and responded softly: "Then I will be in the cubicle. If anything happens to my aunt, just call me."
Qinyi responded and blew out all the lights in the room, leaving only the one on the table. The room suddenly became much darker. Caiyi glanced at the gorgeous embroidered peony flower.
The bed curtain smiled lightly, then turned around and left the inner hall, closing the door of the inner hall.
Qinyi hugged the quilt and spread it on the soft bed. The night was very quiet, and she could only hear the sound of light rain outside. Qinyi glanced at the closed door, raised her hand gently, and saw the white piece of paper in her sleeve.
Then it fell on the brazier. There were still some sparks in the brazier that had just been extinguished. The white paper shone slightly for a while and turned into ashes.
Qin Yi then lay down on the soft couch and fell asleep.
On the morning of the next day, the rain had stopped, and the air that had rained was filled with the fragrance of earth. Qinyi got up early, and it was not yet dark. Qinyi opened the window and turned around to take a look.
Fang was on the bed, dressed neatly, and opened the inner hall door.
There was a narrow compartment between the inner hall and the outer hall. Qinyi looked over and saw that Caiyi was no longer in it. The quilt was folded neatly. It seemed that she had been away for some time.
Qin Yi raised her voice and asked the palace servants to prepare water for washing, then returned to the inner hall and hung up the bed curtain. However, she saw Yun Shang looking at her with her eyes open. Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Princess
, it’s time to get up, I have to go to Weiyang Palace to say hello.”
Yun Shang nodded and sat up. Before she got out of bed, she heard some messy footsteps, and then Cai Yi's voice rang out from the outer hall: "Princess, something happened. Miss Qianzuo is missing."
