Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 864

After waiting in the room for a short while, Yun Shang couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said, "I have to go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

Qin Yi held Yun Shang's hand and said, "You have just told the seventh princess not to come to see you these days and the seventh princess has returned home. Now that if you go there, you'll have to make up an excuse anyway."

Yun Shang frowned and paced back and forth in the room, unable to find a reasonable excuse.

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, why don't you stay here and wait for the news? You don't need to worry so much about His Highness. He will also notice that something is wrong."

[Yun Shang nodded, bit her lips and said, "Yes, since I could notice it, he will also find it out."

But she was still worried, so she turned around and said, "Send someone to the Ministry of Justice to look for Li Qianmo. As such a big case happened, Li Qianmo will definitely investigate it. Ask him to report the situation to me at anytime."

Qin Yi agreed and went out to order the secret guards.

Yun Shang sat down slowly and quietly, without saying anything for a long time.

After a while, Hua'er ran up again and said, "His Highness Crown Prince asked the servant who sent the message if anything happened to Your Highness. The servant said no, so he just asked him to send a message back." "What did His Highness say?" Yun Shang asked hurriedly.

"The Crown Prince said that everything is under his control. He asked you not to worry about him." Hua'er whispered.

Hearing this, Qin Yi smiled too. "I've told you. His Highness will definitely be able to protect himself. Don't worry too much, Your Highness."

Biting her lips, Yun Shang gradually felt relieved. As long as it related to Luo Qingyan, she would lose her mind. Even if she knew that he was fine, she would still be worried. She wouldn't be completely relieved until she saw him safe.

At dinner time, Luo Qingyan hadn't returned home, but Li Qianmo arrived.

Yun Shang asked someone to take him to the hall of the South Yard, and then went downstairs in a hurry. Not long after, Li Qianmo came in and whispered, "Master."

Yun Shang frowned, "Why did you come in person? Did anyone see you?"

Li Qianmo smiled, "It doesn't matter. Just now when we were investigating the case, the Crown Prince told me in front of other officials that he was afraid that Your Highness would be anxious, so he asked me to come here to inform you. His Highness has to go back to the Palace and report to the emperor. I'm afraid it will take some time for him to come back."

Yun Shang nodded, "What's going on with the case? You've been looking into it for the whole afternoon. What have you found out?"

Li Qianmo hurriedly replied, "The murderer is very cautious. Both Lord Qian and Lord Wei were poisoned to death before their corpses were abandoned. Lord Qian's corpse had been soaked in the moat for a whole day, so there was naturally no trace left. There are many beasts in the dense forest where Lord Wei's corpse was found. His corpse is incomplete, and it's difficult to find any clue."

"What do you plan to do next?" Yun Shang asked softly.

"We'll look into the people and things that had connection with they two. I will take my people to search the their mansions later to see if there is any clue. Then I will ask their family who they have met recently." Li Qianmo replied in a low voice.

Yun Shang nodded and said in a lower voice, "Anyway, I also feel that this matter is somewhat strange. The two of them have once targeted at His Highness or Empress Hua. I suspect that the person behind it wants to frame His Highness. If the one wants to frame His Highness, there are three ways. Remember to pay attention to these. First, the evidence which is most likely to be His Highness's belongings. It may be a fierce weapon, a jade pendant, a sachet, or a letter, especially some letters that the two officials had written to express their dissatisfaction with His Highness."

Li Qianmo nodded, and Yun Shang continued, "Second, the witness. Ask His Highness if he has met the two of them recently? If yes, where have they met and who has witnessed that."

"And..." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "Third, rumors. Why don't you find some excuse to make all the tea houses temporarily close for a few days?"

Li Qianmo nodded and said with a smile, "I'll pay more attention to these things."

Yun Shang nodded gently and asked Li Qianmo to leave. When Luo Qingyan returned home, Yun Shang had already fallen asleep. The second day, when she woke up, Luo Qingyan had already left the mansion. The two of them didn't talk at all. Luo Qingyan only asked Qin Yi to tell Yun Shang that he was fine.

Yun Shang had guessed all the possibilities expect that the person behind the scene had never thought of blaming the death of the two on Luo Qingyan.

The case was solved very quickly. On the afternoon of the second day, there was news that the case had been solved.

Yun Shang was surprised. She raised her head and asked, "Has His Highness been involved?"
