Yun Shang nodded and made way for the door. The imperial physician quickly walked to the bedside and carefully felt Luo Qingyan's pulse. He also carefully looked at Luo Qingyan's hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. After a moment of silence, he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the poison of Prince Rui is exactly the same as that of Lord Hua Guo. It is the poison of fluffy snow lotus."
Hearing the imperial physician's words, Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she turned around and knelt down in front of Xia Huanyu. She kowtowed heavily and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please help us find the murderer."
Xia Huanyu's gaze fell at Yun Shang's back for a while and then said in a calm voice, "Then according to Lady Rui, who poisoned?"
Yun Shang had no idea why Xia Huanyu asked her that question. Yun Shang meditated for a moment and replied hastily, "I don't know who did this. I just heard that this fluffy snow lotus grows in the northwest part of the State of Yelang and it is hard to pick it up. It's rare. I think we can find from the background of fluffy snow lotus."
"Really?" Xia Huanyu pondered for a while and asked Yun Shang, "Your Highness, who do you think is the most suitable person to investigate the whole thing?"
Yun Shang frowned and a lot of thoughts flashed through her mind. The room was silent for a long time. Then she said, "I think a lot of things relate to it. Both Lord Hua Guo and Prince Rui are rae generals in the court. In the confrontation between the armies of the State of Xia and the State of Yelang, both generals who are likely to lead troops to battle were suddenly poisoned. It is really too strange, and should be thoroughly investigated. I don't know much about politics. But when his majesty asks about this, I think it's more appropriate for the seventh prince, Vice Minister and Mister Liu to investigate it together."
"Haha..." Xia Huanyu gave a chuckle with some vague meanings. After quite some while, he said lightly, "Do as Lady Rui said. Your highness, take the edict."
The seventh prince knelt down in a hurry. Xia Huanyu continued, "Lord Hua Guo and Prince Ray were poisoned one after another. Thus, the seventh prince, the Vice Minister and Liu Yinfeng are specially ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly."
The seventh prince kowtowed and got the edict. Then he looked up at Yun Shang coldly.
Yun Shang pretended not to see anything. Xia Huanyu stood for a while and said to Yun Shang, "Send Prince Rui back to his mansion for recuperation." Then he turned around and left the room.
Yun Shang curtsied again, stood up and clapped. Two secret guards in black jumped off the roof beam and walked to the bed, lifting Luo Qingyan and stepping out of the room.
Yun Shang made a slight bow to the seventh prince and said, "Thank you for your help, your highness."
The seventh prince looked at Yun Shang's face and smiled. "Don't be so polite, sister in law. Do you think Prince Rui can escape from the poison this time?"
Yun Shang raised her eyes slowly and looked at the seventh prince. His face was pale. She smiled coldly and asked, "What is your highness talking about? Why can't I understand a word? Your highness is always in poor health. So will people believe in a prince who is always sick? " Yun Shang uttered something that seemed not related, but after the seventh prince heard, his face changed. Yun Shang chuckled, Then she turned around and walked out of the room without looking back.
Back at the Prince Rui's mansion, Yun Shang ordered to have someone lift Luo Qingyan onto the bed and told Qian Zhuo to prepare hot water to wash. Qian Zhuo glanced at Luo Qingyan on the bed, her footsteps paused before hastily getting out of the room.
Yun Shang lay down on the couch, waiting for the servant to bring her some water. She randomly picked up a book she had read before leaving, which was about the top kung fu masters. Yun Shang glanced over the page she had read before. It turned a small corner on it, and as she put the book aside, it accidentally fell on the ground, and a few pages were turned, on top of which was the page with the small corner Yun Shang had folded, with the words "Cold Palm".
