Yun Shang said with a cold sneer, "gossip really is a fearful thing. They just regarded the man who had a quarrel with Cangjue Kangning as Prince Jing without even looking at him with their own eyes. Then they can reasonably blame the death of Cangjue Kangning on his highness."
Qian Yin sighed, "but why didn't his highness come out to explain?"
"I also want to know why." Yun Shang said indifferently, "if someone dares to set a trap on us, he must be sure that his highness won't show up."
But where was his highness right now? Why didn't he appear? Yun Shang leaned against the bench and tapped the edge of the bench with her fingers. She frowned and pondered.
Prince Jing had never shown up. His mansion was under close surveillance. Since there was nothing to do, Yun Shang always stayed in the mansion watching books and sleeping. Occasionally, she talked with Wang Jinyan who came to visit. To Yun Shang's surprise, Mrs. Jing had been very busy in the past few days. She came here only to have a brief conversation with Yun Shang everyday. Yun Shang kept an eye on what she said, it seemed that Mrs. Jing was trying to find out whether Prince Jing had contacted her in secret or not.
Yun Shang was surprised and wondered why the grand councilor mansion was so concerned about this matter. The crown prince of the state of Xia's body had already been transferred back to the state of Xia, but Xia Huanyu was still staying in the imperial city. On the surface, he was only looking for the criminal who had killed the crown prince of the state of Xia, but he was not very keen on investigating the case. He had come to the prince's mansion twice, and Yun Shang was no longer aggressive. She came here to serve the emperor of the state of Xia with good tea and played chess with him for a while.
Everything seemed to go smoothly and Yun Shang became more and more anxious when she couldn't find any other information. Although she tried to keep calm on the surface.
She would go to the palace to visit her mother from time to time. But mostly she just stayed in the Jinxiu Palace, while Qian Yin would go around the palace with various reasons to see if she could find any new information.
"I have sent someone to search for Meng Jieyu's things in her palace secretly. Since she was dead, there has been no living person in that palace. Because of the bad luck of her death, her corpse even disappeared from the palace. Many maids and midwifes had been avoiding her palace, and nothing had been moved. Under Meng Jieyu's pillow, there was a letter with the name of Jing Wenlan, and it was written with some love words. " Qian Yin sneered and continued, "I also took a glance at the syringe. It seems to be a lotus bag made by Meng Jieyu recently. The inner side of the bag was embroidered with the words ' Meng' and 'Ian ". Your highness' guesses are right."
Yun Shang nodded her head and said, "have someone keep an eye on Jing Wenlan. Put all the things you found in place and I will deliver them to his Majesty in a couple of days when I go to the palace."
Qian Yin responded promptly. "By the way, I heard that grand councilor Jing mentioned an empty imperial household in the Jinluan hall a few days ago and asked his majesty to give orders to pick beauties, his majesty. .. He had say yes."
