After Qi Ruihai retreated, another palace official came to report that Luo Qingyan asked Yun Shang to go to the meeting hall. Yun Shang raised his eyes helplessly and looked at Qian Zui, smiled slightly and said: "It's not that I don't want to go out.
Walking around, it’s really such a coincidence.” Not to mention that when she went to the Royal Garden for a walk, she was very leisurely. Today, after a quick drink, she finally persuaded her to go out for a walk, but she was constantly troubled by various things.
Interrupted.
Qian Zui couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't matter, I just want your Majesty to go out for a walk. Your Majesty can also pass by the Imperial Garden when going to the Assembly Hall."
Yun Shang nodded, stood up and said: "Let's go, I don't know if your Majesty has anything important to do. You can't go back to Weiyang Palace later to talk about it. You have to ask me to go to the Conference Hall."
The master and servant left Weiyang Palace and walked through the Imperial Garden to the Assembly Hall. There were many willow trees planted by the lake in the Imperial Garden, and they had already begun to sprout new buds. Yun Shang's eyes fell on the very inconspicuous green.
, smiled lightly and said: "Spring is here."
"Yes, it will get warmer in a while." Qianzui responded softly.
Yun Shang raised her lips. The most difficult winter she had experienced since her rebirth has finally passed. Spring has brought new vitality. Everything will eventually pass.
Yun Shang kept curling the corner of her mouth and hurried to the door of the meeting hall. When Liu Wen'an saw Yun Shang, he quickly opened the door of the meeting hall for Yun Shang, smiled and saluted: "Your Majesty is here."
Yun Shang nodded, asked Qian Zui to wait at the door, and walked into the meeting hall.
After entering the meeting hall, Yun Shang discovered that besides Luo Qingyan, Li Qianmo was also in the meeting hall.
"Greetings to the Queen." Li Qianmo saluted, and Luo Qingyan raised her eyes and smiled at Yun Shang, "Master Li has something to do with Madam, but because of his status, he cannot enter and leave the inner palace at will, so I called you.
come over."
Only then did Yun Shang understand. Seeing Luo Qingyan lower his head to deal with the matter after finishing speaking, he walked to a chair aside and sat down. He looked at Li Qianmo with a smile and said, "Master Li, do you have anything to report?
"
Li Qianmo quickly took two steps forward, lowered his head and responded in a low voice: "Empress Qi, there are clues about Li Fuhua's death, and the murderer Wei Chen has also been initially suspected."
Yun Shang's expression paused, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and then asked softly: "Oh? I don't know, who is the murderer?"
Li Qianmo was silent for a moment and then said: "If nothing else happens, it should be Concubine Cao."
"Concubine Cao?" Yun Shang frowned and murmured, but she didn't know who the concubine Cao Li Qianmo mentioned was.
Li Qianmo seemed to have noticed Yun Shang's confusion, and quickly explained: "This Concubine Cao is the mother of the fifteenth princess."
When Yun Shang heard what Li Qianmo said, she was stunned and a little unbelievable: "Are you talking about her?"
Yun Shang remembered that Concubine Cao was an extremely quiet and gentle person. How could she be the murderer of Li Fuhua? Why did she do this?
Concubine Cao. Yun Shang suddenly paused. Thinking about it now, the surname Cao is a bit unusual. Cao Wenxi is surnamed Cao, and the talented Cao man in Luoxue Pavilion is also surnamed Cao. These fifteen years
Will the princess’ mother-in-law have anything to do with the Cao family?
"Why do you think she might be the murderer?" Yun Shang asked softly.
"That day, the empress told Wei Chen that the murderer was most likely among the maids who appeared in Luoxue Pavilion that day, and should be someone from a nearby palace. Wei Chen investigated carefully and got some clues.
The Qinxin Palace of Concubine Cao is not far from Luoxue Pavilion, and some of the palace people who were watching there that day said that they saw Lan Xin, the steward of Concubine Cao's palace, cleaning at the entrance of Luoxue Pavilion."
When Yun Shang heard this, she noticed something was wrong. Why did the aunt in charge of Cao Taibin's palace appear outside Luoxue Pavilion, or was she cleaning?
Li Qianmo continued: "And after many visits by the ministers, we also got an extremely important clue. Concubine Cao has not been very favored in recent years. In the past few years, she often did not even have food and clothing. But later, Concubine Cao
Now that I have become more closely associated with Li Fuhua, I am not as short on food and clothing as I was a few years ago."
Yun Shang felt that Li Qianmo's words seemed a bit strange. After looking at it carefully, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "You mean, she and Li Fuhua..."
Yun Shang bit her lip, but she felt that many things in the harem were a bit dirtier than she imagined. She had heard people say that Li Fuhua had an affair with the concubine before, and she was imprisoning Li Fuhua as a chambermaid.
When he was in prison, he also read this to Li Fuhua as a crime. He did not know that the concubine who caused trouble in the palace with Li Fuhua was actually her.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Li Qianmo: "Is it because of this? Is there any other evidence?"
Li Qianmo nodded and replied: "Someone once encountered a secret meeting between Li Qianmo and Concubine Cao. It was in Luoxue Pavilion. Although it was not before and after the incident, it was enough to explain the problem. And all the things found in Luoxue Pavilion were
Everything is available in Concubine Cao's palace."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, but she still had a lot of doubts in her heart. If Li Fuhua was killed by her, then she must have been the one who tried every means to make Yun Shang notice Luoxue Pavilion. How could she have seen the portrait of Cao Wenxi?
She also copied it again and put it in Luoxue Pavilion. There is only one possibility, that is, Cao Taibi and the Cao Cairen who lived in Luoxue Pavilion were the same person.
But if that was the case, why didn't she find out?
Yun Shang frowned. The Cao talent in Luoxue Pavilion was called Cao Shanxiu, and his father was the fifth-rank magistrate of the state. She didn't know what Cao Taibin's name was, but Cao Taibin had said before that her father was Huaiyin.
of general judgment.
"Do you know the financial background of Concubine Cao? When and what month did she enter the palace?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Since Li Qianmo was investigating Concubine Cao, he had done enough work, so he quickly responded: "The origin of Concubine Cao is a bit strange. I heard that she was a concubine who entered the palace relatively early, but later she also
I don't know what mistake I made, and I was thrown into the cold palace. After a few years, I was able to return to the harem because the emperor once released the concubines who were still alive in the cold palace in order to pray for blessings.
, and later she was favored once and gave birth to the fifteenth princess. But for some unknown reason, the fifteenth princess was ordered by the Supreme Emperor to raise her under the name of Queen Su."
When Yun Shang heard this, the look of surprise in her eyes became a little deeper. If it was said in this way, then it is very likely that Concubine Cao was Cao Cairen in Luoxue Pavilion back then.
It's just that many things didn't match up, so Yun Shang never thought of going there. Yun Shang narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Luo Qingyan also raised his eyes from the side, his eyes fell on Yun Shang, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "I asked Liu Wen'an before, and he said that except for some old ladies and stewards, most of the palace people
After reaching the age of twenty-five, he will be released from the palace, so the palace residents will be changed every few years."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, which could also explain why so many palace people didn't know about those things.
Yun Shang rubbed the embroidery on her clothes, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand this matter, I will find a way to find out."
Li Qianmo quickly agreed and then left.
After Li Qianmo left the meeting hall, Yun Shang stood up and walked to Luo Qingyan to stand next to him. His eyes fell on the paper he was reviewing. After being silent for a long time, he said: "The situation in the harem is better than I imagined.
It’s much more complicated.”
Luo Qingyan nodded gently: "Don't be anxious, take your time to take care of it. If it doesn't go smoothly, just cut them all off. The emperor has no time to care about those concubines and concubines, and I have no obligation to raise them."
.If they have reached this stage and are still thinking about causing some trouble in the harem, I heard that there is a palace on Guangwu Mountain with beautiful scenery, which is suitable for their retirement."
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this and pondered for a long time before saying, "That's it, I'll take care of it first."
After a pause, he continued: "Presumably Your Majesty has already heard the news that the Emperor and the Queen Mother have gone to the northwest."
Luo Qingyan nodded and was silent for a moment before saying, "Let him go."
Since Luo Qingyan said this, Yun Chang naturally nodded in agreement, smiled and chatted with Luo Qingyan for a while before exiting the meeting hall. Qian Zhui quickly followed Yun Chang, and the two of them walked to Weiyang Palace together.
Qian Zui pondered for a long time, then asked softly: "How is the fifteenth princess doing now? I have no time, but I forgot to ask about her situation."
After Qian Zui heard the words, he quickly responded: "Nanny teaches every day. I went to have a look four or five days ago. She seems to be more disciplined, but there is still a bit of unwillingness in her eyes."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "She was unwilling to give in. She was scolded by me for no reason. I'm afraid she has suffered a lot in recent times. Since I agreed to teach Concubine Cao personally before, I will
You can't lose your word, you should still keep your word. When you return to Weiyang Palace later, go and call the fifteenth princess to the main palace."
Qian Zui had been guarding the door of the meeting hall just now. He didn't know what happened inside. He was a little surprised why Yun Shang suddenly thought of the fifteenth princess, but he quickly responded, nodded and said, "Yes."
Although the identity of Concubine Cao is somewhat elusive, it can be known from those few contacts that Concubine Cao is sincerely concerned about the fifteenth princess. That day she ordered someone to discipline the fifteenth princess.
Princess, for two reasons, one is because she feels compassion. The second point is crucial. Luo Qingyan has no daughter, and she does not want Luo Qingyan to marry anyone else, but many times,
Many things require in-law relationships to maintain them.
The princesses under the name of the Supreme Emperor are very good chess pieces. But the premise is that those chess pieces are willing to listen to her. The fifteenth princess is of the right age, and if she happens to have such an opportunity, she will not let it go.
