Qian Zhuo quickly lowered her head and answered, "Yes, but the man in the city also called himself Doctor Xue Yan. He also said that his majesty had saved his life, so he had lived in the ice cellar of Crown Prince's mansion for a period of time as his majesty asked, in order to treat the Empress..."
Yun Shang put down the writing brush in her hand and took a brocade handkerchief to wipe the ink on her sleeve. Although Qian Zhuo didn't finish her words, Yun Shang could guess the rest.
It was not until then that Qian Zhuo saw the ink on Yun Shang's sleeve. She hurried forward to wipe the ink off Yun Shang's sleeve and said, "I'll fetch a dress for your majesty."
Yun Shang nodded and frowned. Xue Yan was dead. She believed that the information of Luo Qingyan was absolutely correct, and if it was Doctor Xue Yan, he wouldn't have said that. But now, who would be the one who swaggered around in the name of Xue Yan?
Qian Zhuo fetched a dress for Yun Shang. Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and asked, "Did people believe what he said? Did he have any convincing evidence?"
Qian Zhuo raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Yun Shang with hesitation. She withdrew her gaze quickly and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's a letter written by his majesty."
Yun Shang paused for a while and said, "Is there any way to find the so-called Doctor Xue Yan and bring him to me?" Qian Yin shook her head and said, "That person is very cautious. The people he meets are all some noble people. Every time they meet, he will decide the time and place, and he will send someone to pick them up."
Yun Shang squinted slightly, stood up and said, "Go to the Taiji Palace."
When they arrived at the Taiji Palace, Yun Shang] told Luo Qingyan what had happened. Luo Qingyan paced back and forth in the hall, frowning. After a long time, he turned around and said, "Xue Yan must've been dead."
Yun Shang nodded. She had never doubted the news from Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan thought for a moment and continued, "I guess it's most likely that Zheng Qiming is behind this. Zheng Qiming killed Xue Yan probably for the letter, or perhaps not just the letter. I have been contacting with Xue Yan from time to time in the past few years. Those letters can be used as evidence to prove that I have a good relationship with him."
Yun Shang sighed with bitterness in her eyes, "I'm curious about what drove Zheng Qiming to do such a thing. He even killed his master..."
Luo Qingyan reached out and held Yun Shang in his arms. When he was about to say something, Yun Shang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan. "Your Majesty, please leave this matter to me for full disposal. I think that the person who dares to pretend to be Xue Yan in such a blatant way must be someone who is very familiar with him. I guess it is very likely to be Zheng Qiming. Now that the traitor comes to us in person, how can I not cherish this opportunity? "
Hearing what Yun Shang said, Luo Qingyan seemed a little surprised. He lowered his eyes and kept silent for a long time. Then he nodded slightly and said, "Okay. If there is anything I can do for you, just tell me."
Yun Shang nodded, bowed, and went back to Weiyang Palace.
Now that she had a preliminary guess, she basically believed that the person who secretly manipulated the fake Doctor Xue Yan should be Zheng Qiming. Yun Shang was not that panic.
Although Doctor Xue Yan was famous in the State of Ning, but Ghost Doctor was more better-known in the State of Xia. Moreover, because of the fact that Xue Yan couldn't leave without the ice and snow, few people had seen him and known him since he stayed on the Changbai Mountain all year round. Therefore, even in the name of doctor Xue Yan, there were not many people who dared to believe him.
However, if it was Zheng Qiming, the only bad thing was that Zheng Qiming had stayed in the Crown Prince's mansion for a period of time and knew a lot of things, such as the identity of Ning Qian, and the fact that she had secretly manipulated the Qianshui Pavilion. In this way, some things would be more difficult.
Moreover, as he dared to make such a big fuss, he must have guessed that she and Luo Qingyan wouldn't sit still and wait for death. He was afraid that Zheng Qiming had already thought about how he would counterattack if she and Luo Qingyan took action.
Yun Shang held the brocade handkerchief in her hand for a long time before she looked up. In that case, she would play a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.
If he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, she must have a bait. What is the bait to lure Zheng Qiming out? Yun Shang racked her brains to figure it out, but there was no solution.
Trapped in the bedroom for the whole afternoon, Yun Shang didn't figure it out. She stood up and walked out of the bedroom. When she walked to the main hall's door, she saw Hua'er playing with Bao'er in her arms in the yard. In spring, when the flowers were in full bloom, Hua'er picked a flower for Bao'er. Bao'er grabbed the flower and pulled the petal happily.
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She walked to Bao'er, and Hua'er curtsied to her. Yun Shang took Bao'er in her arms and said with a smile, "You little boy, you know how to waste flowers at such a young age. I don't know what you will look like in the future."
Bao'er clapped his hands, threw the flower in his hands away, and reached out to grab Yun Shang's earrings.
