Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 952

"A picture of beauty?" Yun Shang looked up at Yu Qin, "Who is it in the picture?"

Yu Qin shook her head and said, "I don't know. Lady Liu hung the painting in the hall because she thought it was a good one. That night, when his former majesty came and saw it, his expression changed. He kept asking Lady Liu where the painting came from and who had seen it. He even asked Master Liu to take it away. Two days later, I was sent to the Huanyi Bureau by Lady Liu. A few days ago, your majesty said that all the old men in the Biyu Palace were gone. I guess they might have something to do with this matter."

Yu Qin looked up at Yun Shang and said softly, "I doubt it because not long after I arrived at the Huanyi Bureau, the servants who saw the beauty picture in the Biyu Palace were in trouble one after another."

Yun Shang thought for a while, with a flicker of doubt in her eyes. Who on earth was so important to Xia Huanyu? She asked Yu Qin, "Have you seen the beauty on the picture? Is there any obvious sign on the beauty? "

After a long silence, Yu Qin said, "I really can't remember it clearly because it was such a long time ago. However, the beauty on the picture can be said to be exceedingly beautiful. In the picture the beauty was playing the Pipa behind her back. There was a lachrymal mole under one of her eyes."

"Under which eye was the lachrymal mole ?" Yun Shang asked softly.

Yu Qin shook her head in a hurry, and her face was full of fear. "I really can't remember such a tiny thing. I can remember that there is a lachrymal mole under the beauty's eyes just because a madam saw it at that time. She said that people with such kind of lachrymal mole are not very lucky, and they cry more than laugh all their lives."

Seeing that Yu Qin didn't seem to be lying, Yun Shang nodded slightly and said, "I see. By the way... " A question suddenly flashed through Yun Shang's mind, and she quickly asked, "You said that the pregnant eunuch was from a palace of a lady. Do you remember who the lady was?"

Yu Qin nodded slightly and said, "I remember it. The concubine's surname was Cao. At that time, she lived in the Luoxia Pavilion, which was a little remote in the east of the palace. The concubine was also good-looking. She entered the palace through the selection show in the third or fourth year after Lady Liu entered the palace. Since she was conferred the title by his majesty, she had not been favored by his former majesty. It seemed that she was congenial to Lady Liu. She often came to the Biyu Palace and kept close to Lady Liu when his former majesty was not in the palace. That's why I know she had a weird eunuch that had a strange illness."

"If her appearance was not bad, why hadn't she been favored by his former majesty?" Yun Shang was a little surprised. She knew that there were many beauties in the palace. If the servants who had seen so many beauties in the Palace still considered that the beauty was good in appearance, then the person could not be ordinarily beautiful.

After thinking for a while, Yu Qin answered softly, "I don't know. I just heard other servants talk about it casually. It seems that it's because of her family background."

Seeing that Yun Shang didn't say anything, Yu Qin bit her lips and said, "I was just a servant of Lady Liu. I didn't know much, and I've told you everything I know."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Okay, I see. Just stay in Shangyi Bureau. Don't be too ostentatious. Although twenty years have passed, no one can recognize you."

Yu Qin knew that Yun Shang meant to keep her safe. These days, she had been alienated in the Shangyi Bureau, and it was really not a good time for her. She also understood that it must have something to do with this extremely gentle Empress in front of her, so she had to tell her everything she knew. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life in the imperial household from now on.

Yu Qin bowed and left. Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she frowned and said, "According to Yu Qin, I guess the woman on the beauty picture is most likely Xia Houjing's

mother. But how can I know who that woman is? "

Yun Shang's eyes were full of distress. She kept silent for a long time before she knocked on the handrail near her. She looked up at Qin Yi and said, "I'm afraid I can only ask Lady Hua Guo for help. Send a message to Lord Hua Guo's mansion that I have encountered a lot of problems in running the imperial banquet recently and let her in."

She had to figure out who the beauty was, or who the concubine in the Luoxia Pavilion was, before she could continue the investigation.

Yun Shang was a little excited. Xia Houjing's identity would be revealed soon. Now there were only two possibilities. One was that Xia Houjing was not the child of Xia Huanyu. In that case, they would have the confidence to win against Xia Houjing. But according to the attitude of Xia Huanyu towards Xia Houjing, this possibility was very small. That should be the second possibility. The second possibility was that Xia Houjing was the child of Xia Huanyu, but the identity of his biological mother was not appropriate to be in public. When Xia Huanyu couldn't show her to the public, he used this method to bring Xia Houjing into the world. Moreover, Xia Huanyu must have a deep relationship with Xia Houjing's biological mother. Otherwise, Xia Huanyu wouldn't dote on Xia Houjing that much.

Yun Shang thought it over and realized that the second possibility was the most likely. If so, it would be also good for Luo Qingyan. If there was something wrong with Xia Houjing's birth mother's identity, it was Xia Houjing's weakness.

But Yun Shang didn't know what was exactly wrong.

Now there was no clear progress, and Yun Shang did not tell Luo Qingyan. In the evening, Luo Qingyan came back a little late. He went into the hall, took off his cloak, and sat down next to Yun Shang. "I heard that you have been busy all day long today."

How could Yun Shang not hear the ridicule in Luo Qingyan's words? She glanced at him and snorted, "I did it for your majesty." Although Luo Qingyan mainly stayed in the Royal Court, the imperial household was related close to him. If it was not appropriate, he would not even know how he would lose his life. Thius she could not let others control such a lifeline.
