Luo Qingyan had remained quiet all the time. When he heard that Yun Shang was not feeling well, he frowned and said, "You are pregnant now, so you don't need to worry about it. Let me send you home first."
Yun Shang nodded, turned around, smiled at Hua Yutong, and said, "I'll go back now. You've just arrived at the mansion of the seventh prince, and if you have anything, just tell the butler. I don't think the butler will ignore you."
The butler, who was standing beside, quickly responded, "Of course. If you have anything, just let me know."
Hua Yutong nodded immediately and smiled at Yun Shang, "Okay, I see."
Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang out of the seventh prince's mansion and went back in a carriage. Yun Shang frowned and asked Luo Qingyan, "Is anybody following us?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head, "No, what's wrong?"
After the carriage turn around and enter a small alley, Yun Shang asked the driver to stop the carriage. Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang and frowned. "What happened?"
"Nothing." Yun Shang smiled and rested her head on Luo Qingyan's chest, "Your Highness, guess who is behind all this?"
Luo Qingyan was silent for a while, and then said, "If I have to say a suspect, it would be the seventh prince. The yard is way too clean..."
"Yes, it's so clean that people have to suspect it was done by someone from the seventh prince's mansion." Yun Shang answered in a hesitant voice.
After about fifteen minutes later, and the sound of the horseshoes came. Luo Qingyan opened the curtain and looked out of the carriage. He frowned and looked at Yun Shang. "It's Li Qianmo, are you waiting for him?"
Hardly had his voice faded away, they heard Li Qianmo speak in a low voice, "Master."
Yun Shang responded and asked, "What did you want to say when we were in the courtyard?"
Li Qianmo replied, "When I investigated the crime scene, I found something strange in a rockery of the courtyard. I thought it was weird, so I wanted to let you have a look."
Rockery? Yun Shang frowned as she thought of the rockery in the yard Liu Chuchu stayed. Yun Shang lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Li qianmo handed her something like a parchment. Before Yun Shang stretched out her hand, Luo Qingyan had taken it and unfolded the parchment.
Yun Shang reached out her head and had a look. Then she frowned.
It was a map, which was very detailed. It marked the seventh Prince Mansion on the map. Every courtyard, even the path and the face of every yard were marked in detail.
"A map?" Yun Shang frowned. No matter what, this map was not supposed to be in the yard. That garden was so clean, but only this map stayed. It was clearly used to confuse people.
"The empress and the seventh prince asked you to investigate this case. Why didn't you report it to them when you found it?" Luo Qingyan snapped before Yun Shang could speak.
Hearing that, Li Qianmo said in a hurry, "Please have a look, your highness. There is a small embroidery on the left and lower corner of the map."
"Embroidery?" Luo Qingyan frowned and turned the map over. In the bottom left corner, there was indeed a small embroidery that was like a mark, embroidered with the word "Rui".
Rui? Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang exchange a look. "Rui" could indicate anyone who has the word in his name. But it could be more easily associated with Prince Rui.
It definitely couldn't be handed to the empress or the seventh prince. Or they would probably take this opportunity to throw all the dirty water on Prince Rui's mansion.
"But why did they target on Prince Rui's mansion? Prince Rui's mansion has nothing to do with the seventh prince's concubine..." Yun Shang was confused. She thought there was a possibility that the murderer happened to meet them, be asked the way by them and then deliberately led them to the yard. But looking at this map, she was sure all this had been set in advance.
