When Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan followed the butler to the long corridor they had passed before, they saw a woman in red walking towards them.
Yun Shang felt that the lady looked familiar, but she didn't remember who she was. When she was thinking, the lady said softly, "Shang'er." Then she turned her eyes to Luo Qingyan, who was standing beside Yun Shang. Stunned, she curtsied to him and said, "Your Highness."
Hearing her voice, Yun Shang stopped. It suddenly dawned on her that there was only one woman in red in this mansion today. She was the bride of the seventh prince, Hua Yutong.
Seeing the butler also looked at Hua Yutong in bewilderment, Yun Shang quickly walked to her, held her hand and said, "Yutong, why do you come out?"
Hua Yutong smiled. Although she had not taken off her make-up, she looked a little pale, and even her body was a little trembling. She said, "I heard servants talking about the concubine Liu Chuchu while I was resting in the bridal chamber. I didn't meet her before, but I think it's a kind of fate that we could marry into the mansion on the same day." He glanced at Yun Shang again and hesitated. "Shang'er, are you also going there? You're pregnant now, so I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if you smell the blood. Besides, there's a lot of blood in the yard, it looked like a hell even her corpse is not there."
Yun Shang finished listening to the first part of her words with a smile. But she suddenly frowned at the last part, "Her corpse is not there? Why?" Stunned for a while, Hua Yutong said, "There's no corpse in the yard. Just now, the official of Ministry of Justice was also confused. He was wondering why the butler was so sure that Liu Chuchu and the servants in the her yard were killed? "
Yun Shang and the butler both frowned. Although Yun Shang didn't enter the yard in person, the secret guard had clearly reported the situation in the yard.
"That's not right. I had gone to the yard. There were many dead bodies on the ground. I just cast a glance at the gate and didn't dare to step forward. How come... How come they were suddenly gone?" Said the butler hurriedly.
Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang again and said in a low voice, "Let's go and have a look at Liu Chuchu's yard."
Yun Shang hurried to catch up with him. Seeing that, Hua Yutong hesitated for a moment before following up. She walked to Yun Shang, held her arm and whispered, "Shang'er, is the seventh prince alright?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang remembered that the seventh prince had fainted on the day of their wedding. No matter whether Hua Yutong was on behalf of Lord Hua Guo, she was just an ordinary woman, who look forward a happy marriage. The seventh prince was her husband now, and she was very worried about him. However, she hadn't officially been his wife since the marriage ritual was not completed, so she dared not to ask anyone in the mansion...
Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "The seventh Prince has woken up. He is still weak, but he's all right." After a pause, she continued in a lower voice, "Although something unexpected happened in the wedding hall, your name has been engraved in the Royal jade pendant and the seventh prince has already been your husband. If you are worried about him, you could ask about his condition. Or you can even visit him in his yard."
Hua Yutong lowered her head and nodded. But she still looked a little nervous.
Yun Shang patted her hand to comfort her and said with a smile, "You are a princess now. You should put on airs and don't let others bully you."
Hua Yutong raised her head and smiled at Yun Shang, "Could I come to your mansion to chat with you often?"
"Of course you can." Yun Shang said smilingly, "I am now grounded by his highness because of the baby in my belly. If you could come to talk to me, I will be very happy."
Then the two of them went to the gate of the yard. Yun Shang sniffed carefully. Although the smell of blood was not as strong as before, she couldn't help frowning.
Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang with a worried look. He thought for a moment before asking gently, "Are you feeling sick?"
Yun Shang shook her head. She saw a figure in cyan walking out of the yard in a hurry in cyan color. It was Li Qianmo.
Yun Shang came to her senses and suddenly remembered that after the Vice Minister of Ministry of Justice was removed from his post for having an affair with Princess Tai An, she asked Li qianmo to try to climb up. Later, he got the position of the Vice Minister.
Since Li Qianmo was here, she didn't have to worry about being deliberately framed by others.
While thinking, Li Qianmo walked to them, bowed and said, "Your Highnesses." Luo Qingyan nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "Don't be courteous. Have you found anything?"
"There are only lots of bloodstains in the yard, and a knife full of blood. Nothing else." said Li Qianmo after thinking for a while.
