Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 375

Yun Shang didn't intend to be sure of anything. She just wanted to have a try because it was better than doing nothing. But she didn't expect that it would have such a result, like a cat met a dead mouse.

Excitement was obvious in Qian Yin's voice. "Qi'er indeed came from the Jing family. She worked for Mr. Jing before, but her personal maid often took her out. So people are familiar with her face. All the rich men came out with their male servants, and Qi'er had been waiting in the inner yard all the time. She had never been out of the mansion, so nobody had never seen her before. I'm afraid it was Jing Wenxi's idea to send her into the palace. But she didn't expect that we would find out, so she sent a servant girl in the mansion."

"Really?" Yun Shang shook her head while hearing Qian Yin's words, "Jing Wenxi is a thoughtful girl. How did she make such a mistake and let others find out about it? Besides, Qi'er has been with Qin Meng for two months. It is not a short time. At that time, Jing Wenxi didn't know she couldn't be the empress, so she could not have arranged Qi'er to be with Qin Meng so early. I thought it was Jing Wenxi who framed my mother, but on second thought, I found that it wasn't Jing Wenxi who made the plot."

Qian Yin felt that Yun Shang's words made sense, but she couldn't think of any other reason. "If it

was not Jing Wenxi, then who plotted the whole thing, your highness?"

Yun Shang meditated for a moment and said flatly, "then whose maid is Qi'er?" "It's Mr. Jing's," Qian Yin replied honestly although she had no idea why Yun Shang asked that.

Yun Shang smiled, "since it was Mr. Jing's maid, why couldn't it be Mr. Jing who did it? You can send someone to the palace to inquire if Mr. Jing has been in the palace in the past few months, and has he met Qin Meng."

Qian Yin was suddenly enlightened. She covered her mouth as if it was incredible. "Your Highness, you mean..."

Yun Shang didn't answer her, but just smiled. Qian Yin immediately said, "I'll have my men look into it."

There were also many spies of Yun Shang in the palace, so it wasn't complicated to investigate the matter. But now it was difficult to bring the news back to the palace and at the same time bring the news back into the mansion. Yun Shang thought for a while and asked the butler to prepare a carriage. She only said that lady Jin would be worried if she heard the news that she fell ill a few days ago. She went to the palace to pay respects to lady Jin, and asked Qian Yin to help her with her delicate makeup and get dressed up. Then she asked Qian Yin to hold her in the carriage and go to the palace.

Because she was too weak, she almost fainted when she talked to lady Jin in the palace. Lady Jin was anxious and angry, so she had Yun Shang in the palace after night, and all the servants had heard that Yun Shang was in the Jinxiu palace all the time, and Lady Jin was watching after her when she didn't go out. However, the servants in the Jinxiu palace were so chaotic. Some of them went to the imperial hospital for the imperial physicians; some of them prepared hot water; and some of them were decocting herbs. Almost all the ladies in the palace paid a visit to the palace. Emperor Ning also went to the Jinxiu palace for a visit during the dinner. In the afternoon of the next day, Yun Shang said she felt better and wanted to go back to her mansion. Lady Jin wanted to stop her, but Yun Shang interrupted her with a few words. "I'm married. It's bad for me to stay in the palace. Now there's no one to make a decision in the mansion. I'm worried about them too."

Lady Jin had no choice but to ask emperor Ning to send an imperial physician to serve Yun Shang in Prince Jing's mansion. Yun Shang had no choice but to go back with the imperial physician.

"Your ladyship, I've heard that Mister Jing has been in the palace several times recently. When his majesty and Lady Jin just came back from the Laifeng palace, the courtiers and Mister Jing also attended the banquet. Later, there were feasts on the youngest Prince's one hundred days, new year's Eve and a lot of banquets at the end of the year. Mr. Jing went into the palace every time. Meng Jieyu had only attended the first banquet and new year's Eve banquet. I heard that when the first banquet was held by the courtiers, Mr. Jing played a piece of music, and the emperor had even praised it well. " Qian Yin said gently as she helped Yun Shang put her heavy hair in a bun.

"Really? What else have you heard? I have specially told you to investigate it carefully. Don't miss any details. " Yun Shang said softly, looking at the pale face of the stunning woman in the mirror.

Qian Yin took the comb and combed Yun Shang's hair. She said gently, "I remember your Highness' words. At the first banquet, Meng Jieyu was drunk, so she left in the middle of the banquet. Mr. Jing had left for a period of time, about half an hour or so. Then every time Mr. Jing came to the Imperial Palace, if Meng Jieyu didn't appear, she would go to the imperial garden alone, or if she showed up, she would leave early, while Mr. Jing would leave for a while every time as well. Qi'er was the maid who came to live with Meng Jieyu during that period, and the servants around her were given away because of stealing Meng Jieyu's things. Meng Jieyu was short of servants, so several servants were hired recently for her, and Qi'er was one of them. I heard that someone in the palace seemed to have seen that Meng Jieyu and Mr. Jing were very close, but the servants didn't see it clearly and didn't dare to make a hasty statement."
