Half asleep and half awake, I vaguely heard someone shouting "Help", the voice was unusually shrill and shrill, "Empress, Empress, help me..."
Then, some noisy sounds came.
Yun Shang frowned and opened his eyes, but the voice did not disappear. Yun Shang was slightly startled. It turned out that he was not in a dream. There was no one in the inner hall, and there was a faint man's voice coming from outside.
"Qin Yi..." Yun Shang shouted loudly.
There were hurried footsteps, but it was Hua'er who walked in, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Aunt Qinyi is handling matters at the gate of our Weiyang Palace. Your Majesty has to get up, so why not let your servants come and serve you?"
"What happened outside?" Yun Shang listened for a while, but did not hear clearly what those voices were saying, "I vaguely heard someone calling for help?"
Hua'er quickly responded: "It's a beauty of the Supreme Emperor who is making trouble. It seems that His Majesty ordered her to be killed. The guards went to arrest the beauty in the palace, but the beauty actually ran over and ran to the gate of our palace to ask for help.
, Fortunately, the guards at the gate of our palace stopped her."
So the beauty in the palace? Why did Luo Qingyan want to kill her?
Yun Shang sat up and said softly, "Go and call Qin Yi."
Hua'er hurriedly agreed and retreated. Not long after, Qinyi hurried over and asked, "Is your Majesty going to get up?"
Yun Shang sat on the edge of the couch, raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yi, "Who is asking for help outside?"
When Qinyi heard the words, Fang quickly responded: "Your Majesty, you are Lin Taimei. She is the daughter of Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Her name is Lin Jingya. She entered the palace when the Supreme Emperor was in power. She later had a daughter, but the little princess was very young.
She died when she was young, so it was considered her duty to be in the palace, and the Supreme Emperor would visit her palace once or twice a year."
When Yun Shang heard this, she narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "The daughter of Lin Shangshu?"
"Yes, I heard that during the morning court today, Shangshu Lin and former Shangshu Wang Yuanjun went to court, slandered Your Majesty, and were sentenced to the death penalty of nine tribes." Qin Yi replied softly.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and exchanged glances with Qin Yi, and both saw joy in the other's eyes.
"Wait for me to change my clothes." Yun Shang said softly.
Qin Yi agreed, and took socks for Yun Shang to wear, and put on shoes with phoenix embroidered with gold thread. She also took a pair of scarlet uniforms to serve Yun Shang. She put them on, combed her hair into a bun, and put on a hairpin.
A phoenix with pearls in its head was planted on the flower, and a golden walking stick was inserted on the side.
After dressing up properly, Yun Shang stood up and walked out of the inner hall. Xu Qinyi said hello. Lin Jingya was escorted by the guards but was not taken away. She only saw her hair in a messy bun and her face.
His face was full of tears and his expression was a bit desperate. When he saw Yun Shang coming out of the main hall, his eyes suddenly burst out with light. He almost wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the guards behind him.
"Queen, please, please save me and spare my family." Lin Jingya's voice was also slightly hoarse.
Yun Shang walked slowly to Lin Jingya, her face was calm, and her eyes fell lightly on Lin Jingya, "Do you know what kind of crime your father committed?"
Tears fell from Lin Jingya's eyes again: "My concubine's father was forced to do it. It's all because of me. If you want to kill me, just kill me. I beg the Queen to let my father go."
"Forced?" Yun Shang raised his eyebrows, but there was some consideration in his eyes, "From Lin Shangshu to Libu Shangshu, who can force him to do anything?"
Lin Jingya bit her lip, but there was a look of death in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I know everything, I know everything, Your Majesty, I am a scoundrel..."
Halfway through his words, he lowered his eyes again, looked around, and said no more.
Yun Shang understood immediately, smiled and said, "Bring Mrs. Lin into the main hall, so that I can interrogate her." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the main hall.
The guard hesitated, but Qin Yi quickly said: "What the empress said is Yizhi, why don't you take her in quickly?"
"Yes." The guard responded quickly and escorted Lin Jingya to the main hall.
Before he reached the door of the main hall, Yun Shang noticed the sound of something breaking through the air coming from the side, and then he only heard a scream from behind, "Ah..."
Yun Shang quickly turned her head and saw Lin Jingya's eyes widening, a touch of red oozing out from her eyebrows, and she suddenly fell to the ground.
Yun Shang quickly walked to Lin Jingya and squatted down. A small black stone was embedded between Lin Jingya's eyebrows. It had been soaked in blood and had no breath.
Who? Yun Shang raised his eyes and glanced around. Just now, Lin Jingya was walking towards the main hall. The sound of pebbles breaking through the air came from the right. On the right, Yun Shang glanced over. There was no one, only one person.
nor.
Yun Shang only felt a cold feeling on her back. In the situation just now, that person's martial arts must not be low, and he was hiding in Weiyang Palace. If that person's target was her, she might not be able to escape.
The secret guard was still some distance away from her, so it might not be too late to rescue her.
There is a murderous intention hidden in Weiyang Palace, but she is completely unaware of it.
And Lin Yajing must know something, otherwise no one would risk being exposed to kill her. However, what is the use of a concubine who is not favored in Xia Huanyu's harem?
"Carry it down and bury it safely." Yun Shang slowly stood up and ordered calmly.
Qinyi said quickly: "My queen, do you want to report it to Your Majesty?"
Yun Shang glanced around and saw that all the palace people in the courtyard looked frightened. They were staring at Lin Jingya's body on the ground and talking in a low voice. Apart from being frightened, there was nothing on their faces.
Other expressions. In this deep palace, even the palace residents have long developed a heart of stone.
Yun Shang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She frowned, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty sent someone to capture Lin Jingya. The guards will report it to Your Majesty. Come with me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."
Qinyi hurriedly agreed and followed Yun Shang out of Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace is very close to the Imperial Garden. Turn left and pass through a hanging flower gate. The chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden are blooming just right. Yun Shang has something on her mind, but...
Nothing comes to mind.
Yun Shang carefully looked at the surroundings. There was a rockery in the imperial garden, and there was a pavilion on the rockery. Yun Shang walked slowly onto the pavilion, and the situation in the imperial garden was clear at a glance.
When they got here, Yun Shangfang said: "It's not safe in our palace. If anything happens in the future, just send a note or talk about it in a slightly safer place."
Qin Yi also nodded, as if she still had lingering fears, "Just now, the slave was frightened, and the beauty Lin was killed in front of us, but our secret guards didn't find out who the murderer was. The murderer's martial arts must be
Extremely high.”
Yun Shang nodded slightly and frowned, looking thoughtful.
"Should we check it out? Or simply replace everyone in Weiyang Palace now?" Qin Yi asked softly.
"Check, of course we have to check. Since he killed someone in front of me, wouldn't it be abnormal if I didn't do something?" Yun Shang narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth in response, "Just as you said.
Yan, changed all the palace people in Weiyang Palace."
Qin Yi softly agreed, and Yun Shang said again, "During this period, please don't contact Qin Yi and Ning Qian. I will try to find a way to spread the news tonight just like I did last night." Lin Yajing and
Lin Shangshu needs to be investigated carefully, but not now. There must be someone waiting in the Lin Mansion. Let's wait for a while. Lin Yajing and Lin Shangshu should be able to make a breakthrough."
At least she didn't understand at all why Shangshu Lin would follow Wang Yuanjun to mix up the real and fake jade seals. It seemed that everything was harmful to him but not beneficial. Why would he do something that has no benefit?
?
Qin Yi nodded, and then said: "Since His Majesty has decreed to kill the nine tribes, our plan yesterday was completed. No matter what, we finally settled a worry."
Yun Shang nodded and was about to speak when she heard Qin Yi call out, "Mother, your Majesty is here."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and saw Luo Qingyan and Liu Wen'an hurriedly walking from the direction of Taiji Hall. They had just passed through the hanging flower gate. Looking in this direction, they should be going to Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty..." Qin Yi called out, but Luo Qingyan didn't seem to hear it. On the contrary, Liu Wen'an raised his eyes and looked over here. When he saw it was Yun Shang, he quickly reminded Luo Qingyan in a low voice.
, Luo Qingyan raised his head and looked at Yun Shang, then turned around and walked towards Yun Shang.
Luo Qingyan also went up to the rockery pavilion and walked to Yun Shang. He quickly looked at Yun Shang for a while and then asked: "I heard something happened in Weiyang Palace, are you okay?"
Yun Shang shook her head and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with me, but Lin Yajing is dead. She said she knew everything, but she was killed before I even asked."
Luo Qingyan nodded, as if he already knew about this, and only said softly: "As long as you're fine."
Yun Shang smiled gently, "I'm fine. His Majesty ordered the execution of the nine tribes, but the matter of the jade seal yesterday has been resolved?"
When Luo Qingyan heard Yun Shang ask about this, he responded with a smile, took two steps back, and cupped his hands towards Yun Shang, "I have to thank the Queen for this. The Queen is really a lucky star for me."
Luo Qingyan made such an action with a serious face, which shocked Liu Wen'an behind him. Liu Wen'an opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. It took him a long time to find his voice: "Your Majesty is scared.
A slave."
After a pause, he continued: "However, this servant is also a little curious. How did the Queen do it? I tried my best to find the craftsman, but I couldn't find it. The craftsmen and servants in the palace were afraid that something like that would happen.
, in that case, the fake jade seal will become known throughout the city, which will be a great disadvantage to His Majesty."
Yun Shang raised her lips and smiled, but these things could not be explained to Liu Wen'an. After all, Liu Wen'an was the one serving Xia Huanyu, so the power in her hands could not be exposed to him.
"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing." Yun Shang responded with a smile, raised his eyes and looked at the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden. In the distance was a very large lake. The scenery was quite good. Yun Shang smiled and said: "
Leave the lunch cloth here."
Luo Qingyan agreed, and Liu Wen'an consciously turned around and left the pavilion to arrange lunch. Seeing Liu Wen'an's figure leaving the imperial garden, Luo Qingyan said with a smile: "I also want to know how Mrs.
