Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1131

Luo Qingyan was about to say something, but he heard a noise from outside.

"Your majesty, Lord Liu is back."

Yun Shang stood up and walked out of the inner hall. She saw Liu Wenan standing in the hall, and Luo Yi following Liu Wenan, lowering his head slightly.

"How is it going?" Yun Shang asked anxiously.

"It worked." Liu Wenan replied, "The officials heard his majesty's voice and looked surprised. But they didn't show it too obviously. They just reported the matter and left. I asked someone to follow them. After they left the Tai Chi hall, they all left the palace without lingering."

Yun Shang nodded and loosened her grip on the embroidered handkerchief. "That's good, that's good."

Then she asked, "The officials said that they would report to his majesty something important about the State of Xia. What is it?"

Liu Wenan pursed his lips and said, "I think it's mostly likely just an excuse they found to see his majesty. All the reports from them are all ordinary things, except the report from the Vice Minister of Works is a little more important."

"The Vice Minister of the Works said that he had found some strange things recently. Many workmen in the Ministry of Works had said that they had something to do and left the Jin City. He sent people to keep an eye on those workmen. They seemed to have gone to Liucang City, Siyang, and Nanyang. He felt that it was quite strange, so he came to report it."

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and thought for a while. "Send someone to ask the Vice Minister of Works to come back again, and then let Luo Yi continue to imitate his majesty's voice behind the screen. Ask the Vice Minister of Works when this has happened, and what those workmen who left Jin City are good at. You'd better ask him to give you a list..."

Seeing Yun Shang's reaction, Liu Wenan understood the importance of the matter. He nodded in a hurry and left with Luo Yi again.

Yun Shang pursed her lips and looked at the backs of the two. She frowned and stood in the hall for a moment before turning back to the inner hall.

As soon as they entered the inner hall, Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan frown and look serious.

"Your majesty must have heard what Lord Liu said just now. How do your majesty think?"

Luo Qingyan tapped on the armrest of the chair with his finger and said, "Liu Wenan said that those officials left the Taiji Palace after giving their report. Liu Wenan sent someone to follow them to confirm that they had left the Imperial Palace, then he came to report?"

Yun Shang nodded. Seeing Luo Qingyan's face darken, she thought for a moment and asked softly, "Your majesty, do you think there is anything wrong with it?"

"Of course." Luo Qingyan's face turned cold. "We guessed that the poisoner must be among the officials who tried every means to see me outside the Taiji Palace. Even he himself was not, there must be some of his accomplices among them."

"If the Vice Minister of Works is not their accomplice while the poisoner is Xia Houjing's man, then what the Vice Minister of Works reported today will irritate Xia Houjing's men."

Yun Shang came to her senses and asked, "Your majesty, are you worried that the Vice Minister of Works will be in danger?"

Yun Shang said in a hurry, "Should we send our secret guards to protect the Vice Minister of Works?"
