Disappeared. This is actually a mild way of saying it. The chamberlain's original words were that Qian Zui fled out of fear of crime, and that he fled out of fear of crime after killing the chamberlain who was guarding him.
Qi Ruihai, who was sitting opposite Yun Shang, had a grimace on his face. He almost didn't dare to raise his head to look at Yun Shang. He just kept repeating: "Princess, I didn't use lynching. Miss Qianzhu is a suspect, so I
She was to be detained in prison, but the superior officer prepared the best cell for her, and even the quilt was the best. He was even worried about the cold night, so he prepared an extra bed of cotton wool for her."
Yun Shang's hand gently knocked on the armrest beside her, and her eyes fell on Qi Ruihai. The expression on her face was very calm, so calm that it was hard to tell: "So, Eunuch Qi is saying that she is a prince who only has some skills in self-defense.
The maid, after breaking the big lock of the cell, killed several guards who were guarding the chamberlain, and then disappeared in the heavily guarded inner palace?"
Qi Ruihai was stunned and did not open his mouth to refute.
Yun Shang smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, do you know that the guards in the inner palace are so weak? This is not possible. I will have to see your Majesty later to talk about the matter. If it is really so unfair,
Sen Yan, His Majesty's dragon body is in danger at any time and at any time. Your Majesty's safety is related to the country, the country and the country."
With a bit of embarrassment on his face, Qi Ruihai said quickly: "This official doesn't know about this either. Maybe Miss Qianzui is very familiar with the situation in the inner palace and has found a place to hide? It's also possible.
Is Miss Qianzuo someone in the inner palace to help her?"
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard what Qi Ruihai said. After a while, she raised her head under Qi Ruihai's somewhat incomprehensible look, but still said with a smile: "Eunuch Qi, you are sure, what you said
She is a little maid of this princess? If that is the case, then I would admire her. I can probably count the number of times she has come to the palace on ten fingers, but she can know the inner palace like the back of her hand.
She is just a little maid in the palace, but she can have someone to support her in the inner palace?"
Qi Ruihai was choked by Yun Shang and fell silent. After a while, he said: "Then what should the princess look like?"
Yun Shang looked outside the palace. The sky that had just rained was a fresh blue. After a long silence, Yun Shang asked softly: "Did anyone see with their own eyes that Qianzuo opened the door by himself, killed the jailer and escaped?"
From prison?”
Qi Ruihai was stunned and shook his head, "No."
Yun Shang then retracted her gaze, "So, what Eunuch Qi and I just said to you are all your baseless speculations? Why can't it be that the real murderer of Liu Gengyi killed Qian Zui in order to create the illusion that he was absconding in fear of crime?
Did you catch the jailer and take Qianzui away from the prison?"
Qi Ruihai was stunned again, but he couldn't find anything good to say to refute Yun Shang, so he could only be speechless and lowered his head sadly.
Yun Shang glanced at Qi Ruihai and then stood up, "Eunuch Qi might as well take this princess to the prison to see if there are any useful clues."
Qi Ruihai hesitated, and Yun Shang's face turned cold: "Oh, I have forgotten that I am also suspicious of Liu's changing clothes. Eunuch Qi cannot let me go, but I have to go
Come again after asking for an audience with His Majesty?"
Qi Ruihai hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, since the princess wants to see her, she can do it at any time. However, the official thought that the princess is pregnant after all, so it might be inappropriate to go to that kind of place."
Yun Shang ignored him and went out first.
On the west side of the inner palace, Qi Ruihai and Yun Shang walked straight in, entered the inner hall, passed through a courtyard, and then there were several rooms. There were steps in the room leading to the underground, which should be the prison.
.
"Have you looked outside? Are there any footprints or anything?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Qi Ruihai shook his head, sighed softly and said: "Isn't it raining all the time last night? Everything was washed away, and there were no footprints anywhere."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, and when she walked down the steps, she saw the bright lights inside. It looked like an interrogation hall, with various torture instruments placed around it, as well as a table and two stools.
When Qi Ruihai saw Yun Shang's eyes falling on those instruments of torture, he quickly added: "I have never tortured Miss Qianzui, not at all."
Yun Shang nodded and said nothing.
Qi Ruihai took Yun Shang inside and walked in. There were cells on both sides, but the cells were empty. There were a few corpses on the corridor. It must have been to preserve the scene and not clean it up.
Yun Shang knelt down and checked carefully. There were four dead people in total, all killed by sharp blades. Two had wounds in the front and two had wounds in the back. They were killed with one knife.
Yun Shang stood up silently, followed Qi Ruihai to a cell and stopped, "Well, this is the cell where Miss Qianzui is being held."
This cell was indeed much cleaner. There was dry straw on the floor, and cotton wool was placed messily on the straw. Yun Shang saw a few straws that were originally concentrated in one corner scattered on the ground.
There was no doubt that the lock had been hacked open by someone, and the fracture was neat.
Yun Shang only glanced at it casually and said, "Okay, I'm done reading. I'm going back to Chaoxia Palace first."
Qi Ruihai was stunned and looked at Yun Shang in surprise, "Does the princess have any clues?"
Yun Shang nodded lightly, and seeing Qi Ruihai staring at her, she said, "But I don't want to tell you what I found just yet. You can check it first, and tell me the results after you finish the investigation."
Qi Ruihai was even more stunned. He stood there and watched Yun Shang come out of the prison. Then he came back to his senses. A light flashed in his eyes, and then he covered it up again. He frowned and glanced at the four corpses on the ground, "
Carry it out and put it in the morgue."
Yun Shang left the inner chamber and walked slowly along the stone path in the palace. Qin Yi and Cai Yi followed her, also silent.
After a long time, Yun Shang finally spoke: "Caiyi, yesterday I asked you to find someone among the guards to help me see if Qian Zui had been tortured. Who was the person you were looking for? Could he have been killed?
Among the four chamberlains?"
Caiyi didn't expect that Yun Shang would suddenly ask her about this. After being silent for a while, she responded softly: "Yes, the first corpse that Princess saw just now was his. He and the slave are half fellow villagers. Before the slave,
When I was in the Taiji Hall, I often interacted with the people who served as supervisors, and I became familiar with them as soon as I went back and forth."
Yun Shang nodded gently, and after a long while, he sighed softly and said, "What a pity."
Caiyi guessed that Yun Shang was talking about the chamberlain, so she also responded: "Yes."
After returning to the Chaoxia Palace, Yun Shang saw Liu Wen'an waiting in the palace. She calmed down a little and hurriedly went up to him and said, "How come Mr. Liu is here free? But why does your Majesty want to see me?"
Liu Wen'an nodded and said softly: "That's right. Please ask the princess to accompany me to the meeting hall."
Yun Shang responded quickly, turned to Cai Yi and said, "I didn't go to Weiyang Palace to pay my respects to the Empress today because of the internal affairs. Cai Yi, please go to Weiyang Palace to apologize to the Empress for me."
Upon hearing this, Caiyi bowed and exited the outer hall.
Yun Shang then smiled and turned to Liu Wen'an and said: "Something happened when I got up early, so I am still dressed in normal clothes at this hour, and I went to see His Majesty in this way. I don't agree with Liu Wen'an. Please invite Liu Wen'an."
Butler, wait a moment, I'll go in and change my clothes."
Hearing this, Liu Wen'an glanced at Yun Shang's clothes and quickly agreed: "Princess, please."
Yun Shang took Qin Yi into the inner hall. Qin Yi watched Yun Shang specially push Cai Yi away, and quickly took the clothes and said softly: "What orders do you have, Princess?"
Yun Shang nodded lightly, thought for a while, then took out the small white jade flute she carried from her sleeve and blew it before saying softly: "Qian Zui was probably kidnapped, please order people to keep an eye on her."
Qi Ruihai and Caiyi will not let go of any move they make. I have just sent the secret guards. The palace is heavily guarded. I am afraid it will take some time for them to come in. If I haven't returned by then, you can give them orders for me.
, check Qi Ruihai and Caiyi’s family members outside the palace." Then he handed the small white jade flute to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi nodded, put away her things, stood up and gave Yun Shang a flying fairy bun, added a few small light-colored flowers, and inserted two white jade hairpins diagonally.
Yun Shang stood up, walked out of the inner hall, and said to Liu Wen'an with a smile: "Mr. Liu has been waiting for a long time. I'm ready. Let's go."
Liu Wen'an nodded gently and led Yun Shang to the meeting hall.
"The princess has been in the palace for two days, are you used to sleeping in the palace?" Liu Wen'an walked a step ahead of Yun Shang and asked Yun Shang softly, "If there is anything about the bed or quilt that does not suit the princess's liking, the princess can feel free to do so.
That’s the order.”
Yun Shang smiled lightly, with a bit of sadness on her face, "Everything in the palace is fine, and there is nothing that I don't like. The girl in colorful clothes sent by Mr. Liu is a lovely girl, and she does everything well. It's just because
All kinds of things have been happening in the past few days, and I’ve really had a bit of a restless sleep.”
When Liu Wen'an heard this, he comforted him softly: "Prince Rui, the lucky man has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him."
This was the first person to say such things to Yun Shang. Yun Shang just smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your words."
Liu Wen'an smiled, stopped talking, and led Yun Shang into the meeting hall.
In addition to Xia Huanyu, Su Qi and Li Qianmo were also present in the meeting hall. Yun Shang quickly saluted Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu waved his hand casually and asked Yun Shang to stand up.
After Yun Shang stood up, Xia Huanyu handed the thing in his hand to Yun Shang. Yun Shang's eyes were slightly startled, and then she saw the handwriting on the paper that she was very familiar with. The handwriting was bright red. Yun Shang put the paper to the tip of her nose and smelled it.
After smelling it, there was even a bit of blood smell, and there was a dull pain in my heart. After a while, I looked at the word, maybe because of the haste, the handwriting was a little sloppy, it read: Cangjue Qingsu, Southeast...
There seems to be something unwritten after the southeast, only a ball of blood smeared out, shocking. (To be continued)
