Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 362

Yun Shang fell silent and frowned. She thought to herself, 'this is for Xia Houjing. Why did he save NING Hua Jing after he killed Xia Houjing? More importantly, who is he?'

Emperor Ning also had a long face. He waved his hand and said, "go back to the palace with me, the head of court of justice."

The head of court of justice answered yes immediately and followed emperor Ning out of the prison. Yun Shang and Emperor Ning rode together, and the head of court of justice followed them on a horse.

"In your opinion, where should we start?" Emperor Ning got on the carriage. He frowned and asked in a low voice.

Yun Shang thought for a while and said gently, "We should start on the oil."

Yun Shang said as emperor Ning looked at her. "In general, the oil is an extremely luxurious thing for the ordinary families. They won't buy too much. Besides, in some rich families, it doesn't smell well, and the lights and oil used are added with good aroma. Xia Houjing was caught in prison by surprise, so was my sister. If the culprit wanted to buy so much oil in such a short time, there should be a lot of traces of it. Although it might be done on purpose, it could still be a clue."

Emperor Ning didn't speak. Yun Shang thought for a while and added, "what we need to investigate as well is the guards and guards in the prison. The lock of sister's cell is complete. There is only one explanation: the key to her cell is on the culprit's body. Only the guards have the keys to the rooms. Even if it were not them, someone must have taken the key from them."

Emperor Ning nodded, "there are many traps in the prison, but they are not triggered. I think we should investigate the whole thing carefully."

Yun Shang agreed, but her brows were still frowning. Emperor Ning sighed, "are you worried about Qingyan?"

"Yes." Yun Shang answered in a soft voice. She was silent for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter. "Since returning to the palace, I've been tricked one after another. As far as I'm concerned, there would be too many evidences that are against Prince Jing coming up. It's kind of embarrassing, considering Prince Jing's identity now..."

Yun Shang murmured in a soft voice. But she couldn't tell emperor Ning what she was going to say. Prince Jing was now the prince of the state of Ning, but the emperor would definitely take his real power away. The officials who had been on good terms with him in the court must think it over as well. He was also the son of Xia Huanyu, but now he had not returned to the state of Xia, and his identity had not been released to the public. But now the thing happened, and Prince Jing was almost cornered.

Yun Shang knew according to the rules, she would be suspected as well, so she couldn't participate in the meeting. But she didn't intend to be persistent. She went back into the Jinxiu Palace and greeted lady Jin. After greeting lady Jin, Yun Shang left the palace.

As soon as she returned to the Prince Jing's mansion, she ordered the secret guards to start an investigation. She had also sent someone to look for some documents on the construction of the prison of the Court of Justice, including the investigation of the criminals locked in court in the Court of Justice. It was afternoon when Prince Jing returned to his mansion. Seeing him enter his room, Yun Shang put down the scroll in her hands and walked up to him. "Are you all right?"
