Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1054

Yun Shang was stunned. Qian Zhuo ran to the bed happily and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, look, the Prince can walk now."

Yun Shang looked at Bao'er, lost in thought. Bao'er blinked at Yun Shang and stepped forward. However, he stumbled on one foot and almost fell off the couch. Hua'er and Qian Zhuo hurried to hold Bao'er, but Bao'er seemed not to be scared at all. He stared at Qian Zhuo and laughed.

Yun Shang smiled and picked up Bao'er. She tidied up Bao'er's clothes and said gently, "When your father comes back, you can show it to him. Ok?"

Yun Shang saw that Bao'er rolled his eyes and smiled at Yun Shang after hearing her words. Yun Shang's eyes lit up. She smiled and handed Bao'er to Hua'er. "He's been played for a long while. Take him back for food and sleep."

Hua'er answered in a hurry, lifted the bead curtain and walked out with Bao'er in her arms. Yun Shang looked at the swaying bead curtains and turned around. "You can leave now. I'll have a rest first."

All the people in the inner hall left. Yun Shang went to the bed and sat down, with a bit of contemplation in her eyes. She had a vague guess in her heart, but she felt that it was too mysterious to be sure. A miracle might really happen to Bao'er.

Yun Shang sat in the hall for a while, and heard Qian Liu's voice from outside, which sounded a little anxious. "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Yun Shang raised her head and said loudly, "come in." Qian Liu suddenly lifted the bead curtain and hurried in from the outside. She said, "Your majesty, the guard who got the letter from Ming Qian has been found."

"What?" Yun Shang was surprised. Then she remembered what Qian Liu was talking about. "Where is he?"

With a serious look on her face, Qian Liu said in a low voice, "Your majesty, he is dead. The dead body was found in the rockery in the Imperial Garden. It seems that he has been dead for two days."

Astonishment was written all over Yun Shang's face. She looked at Qian Liu in surprise. After a while, she regained her consciousness and murmured, "Dead?"

"Yes, Lord Qi has taken his people there. Recently, many people had been killed in the imperial household, which made some people panic. Your majesty, I'm afraid this is not good. " Qian Liu said in a low and heavy voice, "Since your highness came back from Lingxi City, the imperial household seems to have been in trouble. Although only the servants and guards died, some ministers of the previous dynasty might say that you were not good at managing the imperial household.

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Your worry is reasonable. But now that it has happened, we really have to deal with it as soon as possible. I don't believe that with so many people in the palace, no one notice anything about the death of Ming Qian and the guard. If there is no trace, the person behind it will be a big trouble for me. Linder the heavy reward, there will definitely be brave men. Send my words that anyone who provides useful clues will be promoted as a first-class servant, and there will be a reward of gold. And the current first servants can be promoted as the deputy directors of the main departments in the imperial household."

Qian Liu curtsied to Yun Shang and left in a hurry. Yun Shang stood up with a fierce look in her eyes. The imperial household was still in her hands, so she would definitely not let it be in chaos.

Less than half a day after the decree was issued, a clue came, "Your majesty, the eunuch on duty in the palace saw a maid was walking in the Imperial Garden at midnight that day. The eunuch inquired her, but the maid ran in a hurry. The place where the maid appeared was where the corpse was found. Besides, the eunuch on duty said that the maid didn't seem to be an ordinary maid judging from her clothes. She should be a steward or above."

Yun Shang nodded slightly. After a while, another person came to report, "Your majesty, the Neishi Bureau has found out that the director of Shangyi Bureau, Yu Nian, is from the same hometown with that guard."

Same hometown, again. Yun Shang squinted her eyes. Yu Nian was the director of Shangyi Bureau, and the eunuch said the maid she met should be a steward or above. Yun Shang remembered that someone had told her that Yu Nian was a fence sitter.

However, she didn't know if Yu Nian was involved this time. If she was involved, which side was she on?

"Ask Qi Ruihai to take my jade badge and take Yu Nian back to the Neishi Bureau for interrogation. And tell Qi Ruihai to trick her to draw her secret out when interrogating her." Yun Shang replied softly.

Qi Ruihai was a smart man. According to Yun Shang's instruction, he had interrogated many things. Yu Nian admitted frankly that she killed the guard, and she just worked for Lady Li.

Lady Li and the guard were not only from the same hometown, but also had an affair. Lady Li was from the same hometown with Yu Nian and the guard. She was not favored in the imperial household, and her life was even worse than that of Yu Nian. The three of them took care of each other in the imperial household. Later, Lady Li had an affair with the guard.

As soon as Ming Qian died, Lady Li was worried that her affair with the guard was exposed, so she had an idea.
