Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 740

Qin Yi responded, and then took out the embroidery support from the adjoining cubicle. Cai Yi was next to her. She chuckled, "Qin Yi, do you want to embroider something? What is it? "

Qin Yi looked at the embroidery support in her hand and said with a smile, "As her highness is sleeping, I can embroider some small bellybands, shoes and so on for her unborn baby."

Cai Yi nodded with a smile, "I see."

Qin Yi entered the inner hall with the embroidery support. She found the window was still open, and that Yun Shang was lying on the couch under the window. Fearing that Yun Shang would catch a cold in the wind, she quickly walked to the window to close it. There, she noticed Cai Yi walking towards the outer hall.

Feeling that someone was looking at her, Cai Yi turned her head and looked at the direction of the bedroom. Qin Yi quickly lowered her body and only raised her head slightly to look outside. She found Cai Yi had turned around and walked out of the hall. So Qin Yi stood up and closed the window.

"Your Flighness, Cai Yi has gone." Qin Yi whispered.

Yun Shang was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. She slowly opened her eyes and sneered, "Did you send someone to follow her?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang, saying. "This is the message from the secret guard outside the palace. The information about Cai Yi, Qi Ruihai and Wen Xiangfu is all in it."

Yun Shang unfolded the handkerchief, which was densely written with words. Yun Shang read it carefully for a long time before she threw it away. The handkerchief then fell on the charcoal pot, and a fire suddenly sprang up on it. After a while, the handkerchief was burned.

Yun Shang leaned against the couch, slowly closed her eyes, and murmured, "I see."

Qin Yi was a little surprised to see Yun Shang's reaction after reading the message handkerchief, so she quickly asked in a low voice, "Your highness, do you have any new clue?"

Yun Shang smiled coldly, "I have more than just some clues. I know everything about Lady Liu's case."

Qin Yi was stunned. She looked at Yun Shang and asked, "Including the traces of Qian Zhuo?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, including clues about the traces of Qian Zhuo."

Qin Yi wanted to ask Yun Shang what was going on, but seeing Yun Shang's tired face, she had to stand quietly aside and pour a cup of tea for her instead.

Yun Shang picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a long time, she said slowly, "Cai Yi was the leader of Lady Liu's murder. Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu were the perpetrators."

Qin Yi was dumfounded. Even though Yun Shang had suspected it on the second day, and had ordered people to keep an eye on Cai Yi, Qin Yi didn't believe that she was the murderer. She just thought that Cai Yi was unhappy because she was suddenly transferred to the Zhaoxia Palace from the Taiji Palace. Although Cai Yi seemed to look down upon many people, she was respectful to Yun Shang.

Moreover, she was the servant of Xia Huanyu. Qin Yi couldn't understand why she framed Qian Zhuo and Yun Shang this way.

Thinking that Yun Shang was convinced by the message from the handkerchief that Cai Yi was the murderer, Qin Yi asked, "But what's wrong with Cai Yi's identity?"

Yun Shang nodded slightly. She told Qin Yi, "Cai Yi is from Jin City. She was recommended by the Jin City Governor nine years ago to take part in the imperial lady selection. That year, there were three girls who were selected from Jin City. One is called Su Qianmei, and the other is called Ya Nu. As for Cai Yi, she was called Su Caiyi before entering the palace."

When Yun Shang saw these three names, she knew the whole story.

"Not long after I arrived in the State of Xia, Princess Qian Ling was poisoned once and the murderer wanted to frame me. However, I saved Princess Qian Ling with my blood, and found out the murderer for Lady Yun and his majesty. The murderer was Lady Mei, who had a maid called Ya Nu. Later Lady Mei was sent to the the Cold Palace by his majesty. After knowing this, Ya Nu hanged herself," Yun Shang briefly described what had happened about Cai Yi before.

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qin Yi knew the relationship between them. She asked, "Lady Mei is Su Qianmei? Ya Nu is He Yanu? Lady Mei and Cai Yi are both surnamed Su, but what does it have to do with them?"

Yun Shang looked at Qin Yi with appreciation. She said, "I just know from the brocade handkerchief that Cai Yi is the cousin of Lady Mei. Both of them have a good relationship since childhood. Lady Mei's family background is superior to Cai Yi's, so she was conferred the title of lady, while Cai Yi was only chosen as a maid. Later, with the help of Lady Mei, Cai Yi found a position in front of the Emperor."

"Wasn't Lady Mei sent to the the Cold Palace?" Qin Yi asked hurriedly.
