Yun Shang was taken aback at Prince Jing's words. After a long while, she finally realized what he meant. A cold smile appeared on her face. "That's really interesting. Another trouble came for me
again. Yesterday at the Jinluan hall, when Hua Jing and I were at odds with each other, many people had saw it. If Hua Jing was indeed burned to death in prison, I'm afraid that everyone would suspect me."
But who set this up for her?
Yun Shang sat on the edge of the bed, and searched every possible person in her mind. The most suspicious person was Jing Wenxi, but Jing Wenxi had no ability to do anything like this since she was locked up by Prince Jing's people. So she was not the one. Yun Shang couldn't think of anyone else in the Imperial City bore such a grudge against her except Jing Wenxi.
Qian Yin had already gone to report to Luo Yi. She fetched Yun Shang's clothes and help her to put them on and comb her hair. Yun Shang seldom wore makeup, so her daily routine was simple.
After freshening up, Yun Shang entered the palace. Since emperor Ning had just married the new
empress yesterday, the court should be closed today. Yun Shang headed straight to the qinzheng hall, but she was informed that emperor Ning slept in the Qiwu Palace last night. Surprised, Yun Shang was annoyed at herself for forgetting this. She forgot that emperor Ning should stay in the Qiwu palace, as Lady Ya had just become a new empress yesterday.
Thinking of the trouble to get back to the Prince Jing's mansion, Yun Shang walked to the Jinxiu Palace, lady Jin had got up and was surprised to see Yun Shang in. "I heard from Qin Yi that you always slept late. Why do you get up so early today?"
Yun Shang sighed, "I think someone didn't want me to sleep late. The prison of the court of justice was set on fire last night."
"A prison?" Lady Jin frowned. "What happened to Princess Hua Jing? She was just put in jail yesterday? How about the fire now? What about the casualties? Is there anything wrong with Princess Hua Jing? "
Yun Shang shook her head, "I don't know. It's not clear yet. I've sent some people to investigate it nearby. But the court of justice is heavily guarded. Now that such a thing happened, they'll be more careful in case that some people get involved in it. I'm here to ask for the will of the royal edict, so I can go and have a look."
