The weather was fine the next day, so Yun Shang hugged Bao'er and took her to the Imperial Garden. After walking around, she felt a little tired, so Yun Shang held Bao'er and took a rest in the pavilion.
"How have you been these past two days, Bao'er?" Yun Shang smiled and put her forehead against Bao'er's, staring at him for a while. Bao'er burst out laughing, and Yun Shang also laughed.
He raised his head and looked at the wet nurse standing aside. She had been busy with various things these past two days, but she had neglected Bao'er.
The nanny quickly responded softly: "Everything is fine with the little prince. He has been eating and sleeping normally these past two days. It's just that Dr. Chen got used to it. At first, he cried a few times when he couldn't be found. Then he got better.
"
"Oh? What has Chen Miaosi been busy with these days?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, gently closed the hat on Bao'er's cloak, and asked with a somewhat nonchalant look.
"Doctor Chen leaves early and comes home late these days. She stays in the Imperial Hospital and rarely appears in front of the little prince. Even when she comes back and meets the slave girl holding the little prince, she will not have physical contact with him. It seems like she is deliberately avoiding it.
It seems to be open." The nanny thought for a moment before lowering her head and answered.
Yun Shang nodded, with some contemplation in her eyes: "Chen Miaosi doesn't understand these worldly things at all. At least she knew how to avoid them after learning about her master's betrayal."
Yun Shang lowered her head and kissed Bao'er's forehead. Fortunately, the nosebleed that day did not have a big impact on Bao'er. Otherwise, even if Chen Miaosi was really just used by Zheng Qiming and was innocent, she would never
Let it go. However, Chen Miaosi's deliberate avoidance after the incident made Yun Shang even more suspicious of her.
It is said that a girl who grew up in Changbai Mountain and has never been down the mountain has no understanding of the world. Her temperament was so innocent before, but she knows that she should avoid it at this time. Isn't it a little too deliberate?
Yun Shang thought, a light flashed in her eyes, and she said no more.
Due to the cold weather, it was a rare sunny day, and the fish in the lake were all vying to splash on the water. Bao'er's eyes were attracted by the fish in the water, and he was "beep oh oh", and he was very excited.
Seeing his lively appearance, Yun Shang's depression dissipated a lot. She smiled and said to Qian Zui: "Go and get some steamed buns. I'll feed them to the fish. Bao'er likes to watch the fish."
Qianzui quickly agreed softly and stepped back with a smile. Yun Shang saw that Bao'er's eyes had been attracted by the fish in the lake, so she simply stood up with Bao'er in her arms, letting Bao'er face the lake so that she could see those colorful fish clearly.
of fish.
Not long after, Qianzui brought two steamed buns over. Yun Shang didn't borrow the steamed buns, but asked Qianzui to tear the steamed buns bit by bit and feed them to the fish in the lake. I'm afraid it's hard for the fish to find food in winter.
, as soon as the steamed buns landed on the water, they were all snatched up. More and more fish gathered over, and the splashing water splashed on Bao'er's face, but Bao'er laughed.
Yun Shang hurriedly held Bao'er farther away, looking at Bao'er who was also extremely excited in her arms with tears in her eyes, smiled and shook her head: "Why are you so noisy? Huh?"
"Your Majesty, Li Shangshu would like to see you." Qian Zui looked at the man in official robes who was approaching gradually and reminded him in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yun Shang turned around with Bao'er in her arms. Li Qianmo had also arrived outside the pavilion. Li Qianmo was a foreign minister and had a reason to enter the harem to solve the case, but he could never be separated from Yun Shang who was the queen.
It was too close, so Li Qianmo knelt down outside the pavilion: "I pay my respects to the Queen."
"Get up." Yun Shang smiled and saw that Li Qianmo was holding a scroll in his hand, so he said, "Master Li is here today, but what progress has been made on the matter of Li Fuhua, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
"
Li Qianmo nodded and raised the scroll: "Wei Chen found this in the Luoxue Pavilion. Please take a look at it."
Yun Shang glanced at Qian Zui, who hurriedly left the pavilion, took the scroll and handed it to Yun Shang. Yun Shang asked the nanny to take Bao'er in her arms, then took the scroll and displayed it.
Come on.
It was a picture of a beauty. What was painted in the picture was a woman playing the pipa. The woman was wearing a fiery red tulle dance skirt and her figure was enchanting. Looking up, the woman's face was also breathtakingly beautiful.
The woman's beauty is flamboyant and bright, with a bit of charm in her eyes.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the woman's eyes. Under her right eye, there was a brown tear mole, which made the woman's charm even more charming.
Yun Shang's hand holding the painting tightened slightly, bouncing back the pipa, the beauty picture, the tear mole...
This painting has very similar content to the picture of a beautiful woman that Yuqin told her that made Xia Huanyu angry, but Yun Shang can be sure that this is definitely not the painting from back then.
"What is this? How does it have anything to do with Li Fuhua's death?" A flash of confusion flashed across Yun Shang's face, and she raised her eyes to look at Li Qianmo.
When Li Qianmo heard this, he quickly raised his hands and responded: "To the Queen, this is a painting found in the Luoxue Pavilion, and it is hung in the study of the Luoxue Pavilion. However, Wei Chen felt that this painting was suspicious.
The reason is because this painting should have been hung not long before Li Fuhua died."
"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Yun Shang's eyes became more doubtful, and she lowered her head and looked at the picture of the beauty.
Li Qianmo quickly responded: "I'm afraid no one has been in the Luoxue Pavilion for a long time. Everything in the house is well preserved, but there is a thick layer of dust on the floor, the table, and the bookshelf.
When Wei Chen entered the study room to check, he found footprints on the ground in the room, and the painting was hung on the bookshelf. The painting was hung a bit high. Wei Chen climbed up and took a look, and saw the painting on the bookshelf.
, left a few fingerprints, which should have been left by the person who hung the painting that day."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows.
Li Qianmo continued quickly: "Weichen has carefully inquired and found out that the Luoxue Pavilion has probably not been taken care of for twenty years or so. It should be that no one has gone there, but the paper used for this painting is new in recent years.
"
Yun Shang nodded. She had dared to conclude that this painting was definitely not the original one because she saw this.
"Do you think this painting was hung by the murderer of Li Fuhua? But why did he expose himself like this?" Yun Shang had some doubts in her eyes and pursed her lips slightly.
Li Qianmo quickly lowered his head and said: "The footprints Weichen found on the ground in the study were very clear, and the pattern of the shoe soles could be seen. Weichen asked someone to check carefully, and the patterns should be those of ordinary chamberlains. However,
However, Wei Chen felt that the murderer was deliberately confusing people. Maybe the pattern was deliberately left by the murderer to mislead us. Maybe that person was not an ordinary palace man at all. The one he found in the courtyard before
The extremely small jade beads, verified by the minister, should be used for decoration on jade pendants or sachets. Although the beads are jade, they are low-grade jade, and the silk thread is used by the palace masters.
Jin, Wei Chen guessed that the murderer should be a concubine with a lower status in the palace."
A concubine with a lower status?
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. In this case, it must be the concubines of the Supreme Emperor. It seems that Li Fuhua will die in the Luoxue Pavilion. I am afraid that someone deliberately did it to attract her attention.
made.
Li Fuhua led Yun Shang to the Luoxue Pavilion and hung the painting in the study room of the Luoxue Pavilion. Why did he go through so much trouble?
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. This person must be around her, but there can't be Xia Huanyu's low-level concubines around her? Then, it must be that person who sent spies around her and stared at her.
Every move she makes, and she knows what she is investigating recently.
Yun Shang frowned, but how could she know that she would go check out Luoxue Pavilion after that person put so much thought into the arrangement? If Li Qianmo hadn't ordered that day to cut down all the wormwood in the yard, and clean up the outside
The people cleared the vines on the plaque, revealing the three words Luoxue Pavilion. She would definitely not be able to notice Luoxue Pavilion.
etc……
Yun Shang suddenly had an idea in her mind. What Li Qianmo ordered in the Luoxue Pavilion that day was clearly to cut down the vines in the yard, but why would anyone clear the vines on the plaque outside the yard?
Yun Shang's hand holding the scroll tightened suddenly, almost crushing the painting.
That person, that murderer, must have been in Luoxue Pavilion that day. Just to make Yun Shang notice the plaque, he deliberately arranged the vines outside the door to attract Yun Shang's attention. In this way, that day
Is there a murderer among the people outside Luoxue Pavilion?
Yun Shang's heart suddenly tightened. She never expected that the murderer would dare to appear so blatantly under her nose.
"Did you check all the palace people inside and outside Luoxue Pavilion that day?" Yun Shang let go of the scroll, gently smoothed the wrinkles, and handed the scroll to Qian Zui's hand.
Li Qianmo quickly responded softly: "After a general check, there are no big problems."
"No one has been to Luoxue Pavilion for so many years. How was Li Qianmo's body discovered?" Yun Shang has always been confused in her heart. According to the current situation, the person who found the body is extremely suspicious.
"This is a bit of a coincidence. It is dry in winter, and the water levels in many wells in the palace have dropped. It is difficult to get water from many wells. There are several palaces in the east. Because the terrain to the east of the harem is higher, there is no water in the wells.
, the well in the Luoxue Pavilion is extremely deep. Although the Luoxue Pavilion was ordered not to be entered by the Supreme Emperor, many people have forgotten it after so many years. People in the palaces to the east will
During this period, I went to draw water from the well in Luoxue Pavilion, but I didn’t dare to make it public. The person who found Li Fuhua’s body that day went to draw water early in the morning." Li Qianmo replied.
Yun Shang lightly tapped the pillars of the pavilion with her fingers. In this way, the scope of the murderer's suspicion can be narrowed down a bit, to one of the several palaces facing Luoxue Pavilion in the east. That day near Luoxue Pavilion
