Yun Shang nodded: "The carriage is one of them, but it's definitely useless for Xia Houjing to just cry out for injustice. After all, what the guards saw was the seventh prince's carriage, not our prince's palace. Even if it is overthrown, it will be useless.
There must be real evidence. The carriages of the princess and princes all have different patterns on the wheels, and they are all made by the royal merchant in the city, Jintai Carriage Shop."
"The Seventh Prince wanted to retract his confession about the carriage, most likely from two aspects. One is to ask the shopkeeper of Jintai Car Shop to testify that the Crown Prince had previously ordered him to make the carriage with the patterns in the Seventh Prince's house. The other is to ask the owner of the Jintai Car Shop to testify.
Yes, there is evidence to identify His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on that carriage, so we have to start from these two things." Yun Shang said softly.
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Qianyin spoke, "Jintai Automobile Dealership has some business dealings with us. The hidden stakes we installed earlier are also in Jintai Automobile Dealership. I wonder if they can be put to use."
Yun Shang smiled: "Of course it is useful. I still say the same old saying. We don't have time to know who the seventh prince's contact person is, nor do we know what the seventh prince promised. Now we can only solve it simply and crudely.
Question, ask our hidden stakes, has anyone in the Seventh Prince's house come into contact with anyone in the car dealership? If so, we will find a way to tie up that person directly. If not, we will tie up the shopkeeper directly, and then easily
Make him look like that man, wait for the officers and soldiers to take him away, and then bite him to death in the palace. Before that, only people from the Seventh Prince's house ordered him to be a carriage in the Seventh Prince's house."
Qianyin responded, and Yun Chang added: "As for the seventh prince leaving something on the carriage, we have to ask Luo Qi to order someone to go to the place where the carriage is placed in the seventh prince's palace to investigate one by one."
Rocky also agreed, and each received their tasks and ordered others to do them.
Yun Shang then continued: "Besides the carriage, there is a second possibility for this matter, which is the city gate guard. The city gate guard only saw the carriage, but it can also be said that the person driving the carriage was not a member of the Seventh Prince's Palace.
People, but more like people in the prince's residence."
"There are only two or three horsemen in the two mansions. They often go in and out of the city gates. The city gate guards are very familiar with it. If the guards say that people from the Prince's Mansion are driving the carriages, then we can't clean it up even if we jump into the Yellow River.
." Yun Shang said softly.
This made it difficult for everyone, "But there are so many guards at the city gate, and the message from the palace did not say which one was specifically guarding the carriage in the Seventh Prince's Mansion? This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."
Yun Shang nodded, feeling a little worried.
I walked back and forth in the house several times, but with no results.
But she heard Qin Yi whisper: "If the city gate guard says that the carriage is driven by the carriage driver in our mansion, the palace will definitely send someone to our mansion to bring the carriage driver into the palace for interrogation..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes suddenly lit up: "What Qin Yi said is a breakthrough. Now almost all the carriage drivers in the mansion are secret guards. Qin Yi, go and give the order. If someone brings them into the palace, identify them."
Any one of them said that the Seventh Prince bribed him and ordered him to drive a carriage out of the city. You bring some cash and let none of them hide the five hundred taels of silver in a hidden place. Then we will tell you
, the silver the Seventh Prince gave them at that time."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment and bit her lip. The secret guards who entered the palace today to identify the Seventh Prince were afraid that they would never come back.
Qinyi responded and went downstairs. Yun Shang slowly sat down, looking deeply tired. She laid out counterattack strategies one by one, but she didn't know whether they would be effective.
Even in this calm room, Yun Shang could imagine how intense and volatile the Tai Chi Hall would be.
The news that came next was what Yun Shang had expected. First, Xia Huanyu ordered people to bring all the carriage drivers from the mansion into the palace for interrogation.
Then they sent people to search the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Yun Shang had already arranged it, but he didn't panic at all.
Not long after, the secret guard came to report the news. All the things they had set up were taken away.
Yun Shang curled her lips with a cold smile.
About an hour later, news suddenly came from the palace that His Majesty had ordered the Crown Princess to come to the palace for an audience.
The people in the room were stunned immediately, and Qin Yi was also a little surprised, "There is no news coming out of the palace, so how could there be a sudden order to send the crown princess into the palace?"
Yun Shang's eyes were full of clarity, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Wang Wanzhi to come in and out of the palace frequently. She didn't feel that the news was particularly important, so she didn't convey it. And I also know roughly why Your Majesty sent me to the palace."
"Why?" Everyone looked at Yun Shang with some doubts.
Yun Shang smiled, but looked unhurried, "Go and tell the person who sent the message in the palace, and I will come to change my clothes. Qin Yi, you come and help me change my clothes and comb my hair."
.”
Qin Yi responded, took a lilac long dress and put it on Yun Shang. Yun Shang sat in front of the bronze mirror and let Qin Yi spread her hair, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty declares me to be in the palace.
, mostly because Hua Yutong took action."
There was a hint of contemplation in Yun Shang's smile. After a while, she said with a bit of sadness: "After all, she is clearly standing on the opposite side of us."
"I think she probably said that when I chatted with her on weekdays, I was quite dissatisfied with the Seventh Prince and had a vague intention of getting rid of the Seventh Prince. Hua Yutong and I have always been good friends, and many people are
You know, and Hua Yutong is from Washington and often visits the prince's house, so everyone will believe her words." Yun Shang looked at the woman with picturesque features in the mirror, her eyes becoming more and more indifferent.
"How could the Seventh Princess do this? It's in vain that the Crown Princess had been thinking about everything for her before..." Qianyin's eyes were filled with anger. When Yun Shang saw her eyes in the bronze mirror, she looked like she wanted to kill Hua.
Yutong's appearance.
Yun Shang then laughed: "Do you think about everything for her?" Yun Shang shook her head, "I just do it for my own position, and I just want to win her over to do things for me. It is true that her temperament is quite suitable for me.
We have different appetites, but it’s because of that kind of interest relationship that we can come together.”
"But now, since she has chosen the Seventh Prince and betrayed me like this, I will no longer be merciful. I do admire her a little. Sometimes, women dare to give up more things for love than we imagine.
Many of the people Hua Yutong stood up and gave up were her relatives and friends. I don’t want to comment on whether she did the right thing or not, and whether it was worth it. I only know that I am afraid that in the future, she and I will never be the same again.
People on the same path."
Qinyi arranged her hair skillfully and nodded: "It's just that we don't agree with each other."
After Yun Shang finished dressing up, she slowly stood up and ordered: "Ning Qian should be back soon. If anything else happens later, I will let Ning Qian make the decision. You all follow her arrangements."
Please follow me into the palace..."
Hua'er seemed a little flattered when he heard this, and quickly responded, hurriedly walked to Yun Shang's side, helped Yun Sang's hand, and Yun Shang slowly walked out of the house and walked towards the door.
The carriage drivers were all brought into the palace, and Yun Shang had to order a secret guard to drive the carriage.
After entering the palace, the palace attendant who came to deliver the news took Yun Shang to the entrance of Taiji Hall and stopped. The chamberlain at the door saw Yun Shang, quickly saluted, and sang in harmony: "The Crown Princess has arrived."
"Pass..." After a long while, a response came from the palace. The chamberlain quickly bent down and whispered, "Crown Princess, Your Majesty is kind."
Yun Shang smiled slightly and asked Hua'er to wait at the entrance of the palace, then slowly dragged her floor-length skirt into the Tai Chi Palace. There were hundreds of officials standing on both sides of the Tai Chi Palace. The Seventh Prince and Hua Yutong were kneeling in the palace.
In the middle position, Luo Qingyan stood in front of the officials on the right, looking at Yun Shang steadily.
Yun Shang did not squint her eyes and smiled lightly. She walked to a position two steps in front of Hua Yutong and knelt down: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
Xia Huanyu's voice was considered gentle: "Prince Princess, please get married."
Yun Shang stood up, glanced around the hall, and laughed again.
Xia Huanyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Shang: "Why is the Crown Princess smiling?"
Yun Shang hurriedly saluted again and said: "My son, I was just thinking that when the servant came to the mansion to deliver the order just now, he only said that your Majesty had summoned him, but did not say that there were so many civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall. If I had known
, I put on the court uniform. Now that I have come here, it seems a bit unceremonious."
Xia Huanyu's eyes flashed slightly before he smiled and said, "No problem."
Yun Shang then said quickly: "I wonder why your Majesty summoned your ministers?"
Xia Huanyu finally got to the point: "A murder occurred in the city yesterday. Does the Crown Princess know about it?"
Yun Shang smiled lightly and nodded gently: "I heard about it yesterday, but I didn't pay special attention to it. I don't know who the deceased is. Today, when the seventh princess came to the house, I found out that it was Mr. Qian and Mr. Wei."
"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Xia Huanyu asked again.
Yun Shang noticed that many eyes were on her, so Yun Shang lowered her head and responded: "Earlier, the Seventh Princess came to the house and cried, saying that all the evidence found pointed to the Seventh Prince, and that some guards brought the Seventh Prince in.
In the palace, it is said that His Majesty wants to be interrogated. However, the truth has not yet been found out, and I don’t know who the real murderer is."
Before Xia Huanyu could speak, a minister on the side said: "Everything about this case is fishy. It may be that someone deliberately put the blame on the Seventh Prince. Just now, the Seventh Princess said that when she chatted with you on weekdays, you seemed to be interested in the Seventh Prince.
The prince is quite dissatisfied. I don’t know about this, but the princess instigated someone to put the blame on the seventh prince?"
When Yun Shang heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "What this gentleman said is really the funniest joke I have ever heard this year."
When the official heard what Yun Shang said, his expression turned a little ugly: "What does the Crown Princess mean by this?"
Yun Shang stopped laughing and raised her eyes to look at the official: "I am indeed very dissatisfied with the Seventh Prince, but you only know it and don't know why..." (To be continued)
