This was not the first time that Yun Shang heard the Duke's wife say this. However, when she heard the Duke's wife say this before, Yun Shang was a little hesitant. After all, Su Ruji only entered the palace after Queen Hua's accident, and Hua
The queen is still...
Just hearing what the Duke's wife said again, Yun Shang couldn't help but believe it. Although the Duke's wife looked like she didn't care about the world, she was an ordinary housewife. But Yun Shang was like this
After a year of contact, she found that the Duke's wife was much more transparent than she imagined. Perhaps the truth behind Hua Ling's accident was not that simple.
"Qingyan and I will ask people to investigate the matter of the Queen Mother. If the Su Mansion really secretly attacked the Queen Mother and caused this situation, we will definitely not forgive the Su Mansion." Yun Shang narrowed his eyes.
Eyes, a flash of killing flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, the Duke's wife looked very happy. She patted Yun Shang's hand and said, "Okay, I'm happy if you have this heart. The Su family has a deep foundation, so it's better not to be an enemy of it head-on."
." After a pause, he looked outside the door again, and said meaningfully: "The person in the high position may not be completely ignorant of the truth about Ling'er's death. In the two years since Ling'er left, he
He searched for the murderer like crazy, and then gradually fell silent. Many people said it was because there was no hope, but I always felt that it was because he knew something."
After Yun Shang came out of the Duke's Mansion, she kept thinking about the words of the Duke's wife.
According to what the Duke's wife said, Xia Huanyu must have known that Queen Hua's incident was related to the Su Mansion. However, he had been silently bearing it in order to one day be able to completely dismantle the Su Mansion.
Yun Shang thought of Xia Huanyu's method of dealing with the eldest princess, and felt a cold feeling in her heart, even for his biological sister. If it were the murderer who hurt the woman he loved, he didn't know what kind of methods he would use.
"Princess, are you going to Liyuan?" Qin Yi asked softly.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses. The Liyuan that Qin Yi asked was a theater, which was where Hua Yutong and the man liked to go recently.
"Have you made a reservation for the Seventh Princess today?" Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Qin Yi.
"It's been booked." Qin Yi responded softly, "As usual, we have booked two places. It's a small private room."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's go to Liyuan."
Qinyi responded and gave instructions to the carriage driver outside. Fang sat back and heard the sound of the carriage's wheels. After a while, it stopped.
Qin Yi opened the curtain and looked outside. Fang got off the carriage, opened the curtain, and helped Yun Shang get out of the carriage.
After entering Liyuan, as Qianyin had already reserved a seat, as soon as Qinyi said her name, the waiter led Yun Shang to the second floor and entered a private room.
It is said to be a private room, but it is just two screens separated by a curtain. Leaning against the railing on the second floor, looking down, there is the stage of the theater below.
Qin Yi looked around, then took the tea off the table and poured a cup of tea for Yun Shang, tried it with the silver hairpin, poured the tea in the cup into another cup, and drank a cup herself.
Then he poured Yun Shang another glass.
"The private room reserved by the Seventh Princess is the second one to our left." Qin Yi said softly.
Yun Shang nodded. The play hadn't started yet, but Liyuan was probably one of the more famous theaters in Jincheng. It was already full of people and there was a lot of noise.
"Princess, the Seventh Princess is here." Yun Shang was drinking tea when Qianliu's voice came to her ears.
Yun Shang was stunned, then put down the teacup in her hand and looked downstairs.
Sure enough, it was Hua Yutong. Yun Shang saw that Hua Yutong was wearing a rouge-colored floor-length skirt, covered with a pearl-colored gauze gown. There was a faint light flowing as she walked.
Walking beside Hua Yutong was a young man. He looked about twenty years old, but his face was a bit ordinary. He was not as strong as King Rui, not as handsome as Wang Jinhuan, and his elegance was hard to match Liu Yinfeng. It was thrown into the
The crowd makes it difficult to find the appearance.
Yun Shang thought in her heart, Hua Yutong's appearance was also very outstanding. These two people stood together and looked like they didn't match each other very well. Why did someone spread rumors about them?
Just when Yun Shang was thinking about it, she saw Hua Yutong and the man talking about this. A waiter carrying tea ran over from the side and was about to bump into Hua Yutong. When the man saw this, his expression changed and he quickly turned Hua Yutong away.
Yutong held on and narrowly avoided it. Yun Shang frowned as she looked at the man's hand grabbing Hua Yutong's arm.
The two people went upstairs, and Yun Shangfang withdrew his gaze and became somewhat silent.
Qin Yi also saw the situation just now and whispered: "Men and women are not intimate, and now the seventh prince is fighting at the border, it is really inappropriate for the seventh princess to act like this."
Yun Shang didn't say anything, she just took a light sip of tea, but her brows had been furrowed since then.
After a while, the play started. The one singing today was "Dragon Playing with the Phoenix", which was not a very good play. However, the actress on the stage had a good appearance, and her singing voice was also sentimental. The corners of Yun Shang's mouth were slightly twitching.
After looking around, I understood why there were so many people in this theater.
As soon as the play was over, it was almost lunch time. Everyone below had dispersed, but Yun Shang was still sitting there.
After a long while, Qianliu said softly: "Princess, they are coming out."
Yun Shang nodded lightly and stood up. Qinyi quickly opened the curtain, and Yun Shang walked out of the private room. As soon as he walked out of the private room, he ran into Hua Yutong head-on.
Hua Yutong seemed to be stunned for a moment when she saw Yun Shang.
Yun Shang looked at her with surprise in her eyes, but she was not panic-stricken and her expression remained as usual.
"What a coincidence." Yun Shang laughed slowly and said softly.
The man didn't know that Yun Shang and Hua Yutong were familiar with each other. When he heard Yun Shang speak, he raised his head and looked at Yun Shang. When he saw Yun Shang's face, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared very quickly, and then
He lowered his head and said nothing.
Hua Yutong quickly smiled and said: "I didn't know that Chang'er was actually watching the show here. If I had known, I would have asked Chang'er to come with me."
Hearing this, Yun Shang curled up her lips and said with a smile: "I was upstairs watching you come in, but seeing someone beside you, I didn't let anyone disturb you."
"That's Chang'er's fault, this show requires a lot of people to make it good." Hua Yutong said with a smile, then raised her head and said to the man beside her: "Cousin, this is me
Isn’t Princess Rui, who I often mention to you, beautiful?”
After saying that, he introduced to Yun Shang: "Shang'er, this is my cousin, named Xu Sansi. This time he came to Jincheng to take part in the imperial examination."
Then Xu Sansi raised his head and looked at Yun Shang again, and then said hurriedly: "The common people have seen Princess Rui."
Yun Shang glanced over Xu Sansi's body indifferently, then smiled slightly and said: "Yutong and I are considered good friends. Since we are her cousins, we don't need to be so polite." Yun Shang smiled.
, then turned around and looked at Hua Yutong, "I haven't seen you for a long time. If you have time, you might as well come to Prince Rui's Mansion to talk to me."
Hua Yutong laughed continuously and said: "Why bother to pick a time? I'm free today. How about I accompany you back home now? I haven't talked to Chang'er for a long time."
Yun Shang looked at Hua Yutong's expression. She looked much better than when they last met, and her smile seemed to be more. Yun Shang did not respond immediately, and only asked softly: "Aren't you with me?"
Is your cousin here to see the show? It is not appropriate to leave your cousin here alone."
Hua Yutong laughed loudly, "What are you afraid of? He is a manly man, how can he be afraid of losing it? I was just accompanying him to watch the play. After the play is finished, I should leave naturally. Let's go, let's go."
, I will accompany you back to Prince Rui's Mansion." After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Sansi: "Cousin, please go back to the inn alone, I will accompany Chang'er to sit at Prince Rui's Mansion."
Xu Sansi's eyes fell quietly on Hua Yutong, with a bit of doting, and said with a gentle smile: "Okay, you go."
Hua Yutong pulled Yun Shang downstairs and out of Liyuan, ordered the carriage driver to take Xu Sansi back to the inn, and got directly into Yun Shang's carriage.
Yun Shang laughed slowly and got into the carriage.
Hua Yutong opened the carriage curtain and waved to Xu Sansi, then lowered the carriage curtain, "I heard that Chang'er was missing a few days ago, but it made me anxious. Is it okay?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Isn't this just in front of you? It's okay."
Hua Yutong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good."
Yun Shang stared at Hua Yutong for a long time before asking softly: "How is the Seventh Prince's Palace doing lately?"
Hua Yutong's smile faded slightly, and she shook her head and said: "It's not just like that. The affairs of each courtyard in the mansion are handled by the housekeeper and the housekeeper, and they almost never come to my place. I, the princess,
It’s just in name only.”
Yun Shang looked at the bitter smile on Hua Yutong's lips. After being silent for a long time, she said: "Although I just returned to the palace from the palace yesterday, I also heard some rumors about you. You
Do you know?"
Hua Yutong was stunned for a while, and then she laughed, "It's about me and my cousin, I know. Why don't I know? It's just like the truth."
Yun Shang said nothing.
Only then did Hua Yutong realize that something was wrong. She looked at Yun Chang with wide eyes and said, "I don't know Chang'er, but you believe it?"
Yun Shang only smiled slightly, but still didn't respond.
Hua Yutong looked a little embarrassed. After a long silence, she said softly: "Actually, I'm not very close to this cousin. I've been going to the theater with him almost every day these days. It does have a purpose."
."
Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at her, and Hua Yutong stuck out her tongue, with a hint of helplessness in her smile, "My uncle's family is engaged in business, and my cousin often runs around with him. Before coming to Jincheng, he
