"She wants to take a person away from the palace,"
Xia Huanyu pursed his lips and said, "She has made a clear guess of us. She thought that if something happened to the person who was in charge of the imperial household affairs, we would not know what would happen at that time. We wouldn't know who poisoned us and what poison it was. We would be so afraid that the whole imperial household would be in a mess after hearing the news. The first thing we would do must be to try to hide the news.
And then she can take advantage of this time to fake the imperial edict and take him away."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly. She was a little surprised. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she did not expect that it was for this.
"Who did she want to take away then?" Yun Shang looked up and asked.
"A maid." Xia Huanyu casually put down his piece and added, "She is a maid in the Xiangyi Palace."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the chess piece.
The Xiangyi Palace was the place where Lady Li was kept under house arrest.
At the thought of this, Yun Shang vaguely guessed which maid that steward Wang wanted to take away.
It was most likely that she had come to the Imperial Garden to beg her, saying that Lady Li had saved her life, begging her to call for an imperial physician for her, and finally she agreed to the maid to work in the Xiangyi Palace.
"Was she sent to the Xiangyi Palace to serve lady Li after she was under house arrest?"
Raising his head slightly, Xia Huanyu asked, "Yes, have you met her before?"
Yun Shang nodded and told Xia Huanyu what had happened,
"That maid came to me at the risk of offending me for such a small matter. Although Lady Li made a mistake, she did not deserve to die. If she died in the palace because I did not call for an imperial physician for treatment, I'm afraid that at that time, all kinds of rumors will spread, and it will be unfavorable to the emperor, even to Father and Mother, so I agree.
But when I asked the maid to serve in the Xiangyi Palace, she looked a little strange. It seemed that she didn't expect me to make such a decision. But I didn't wait for her to react and sent her to the palace. "
Yun Shang told Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling what had happened before, and then she went on, "I guess the maid must have some purposes. She asked me to call an imperial physician to treat Lady Li. Maybe she wanted to make use of the imperial physician to go to the Xiangyi Palace to inquire about information and send it out of the palace...
But I suddenly agreed to send her to the palace, which is heavily guarded. Because I was suspicious of her, I specially asked someone to keep an eye on her, so she got the news from Lady Li, but she didn't have the chance to send it out. The people outside were anxious, so they used steward Wang to come up with this idea. IV
Yun Bhang rubbed the chess pieces with her fingers and said, "I just wonder what kind of news they want to get from Lady Li."
After saying that, Yun Bhang looked up at Xia Huanyu and asked, "Has the maid been sent out of the palace?"
Xia Huanyu nodded and said, "Although we finally found out the person in charge of the Imperial Library, it was still a little late. She had already been sent out. After that, we imprisoned and interrogated her severely, but we didn't find anything. The emperor and I have sent people to search for the maid, but we haven't found anything yet. "
Yun Shang replied and then asked, "What about Lady Li? Since it was the maid who asked for the news from Lady Li, Lady Li should know everything. Did Father interrogate Lady Li? "
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu pursed his lips and said, "Lady Li is dead."
Huh?
Yun Shang looked up in surprise.
