Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 956

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Pei Lan knew that she might have done something wrong, so she stood there awkwardly and uneasily.

Luo Qingyan frowned and said, "I think the maid who cleaned the room is suspicious."

Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang also realized that if as Pei Lan said, the servant came in to clean the vase, and she should only wiped it with a cloth. How could she bring out the plum blossoms in the bottle? And it happened to be the moment Yun Shang left after she found the secret of the plum blossom. Such a coincidence was too obvious.

"Do you remember who the maid is?" Yun Shang asked softly.

Pei Lan thought for a while and shook her head, "I can't remember it."

Yun Shang frowned. Was there anyone else in the Weiyang Palace watching her besides Chen Ke? And the other one was probably not as simple as Chen Ke, who was just staring at her. Although she didn't know what was in the vase, it was not a good thing. That person must want her life.

But Pei Lan didn't remember what the servant looked like. There were many servants in the Weiyang Palace, so it would be difficult to investigate. What she could do now was just to guard herself against it. Yun Shang smiled and asked Pei Lan to leave. Then she raised her head and said gently, "It doesn't matter. A fox will show its tail."

Two days later, Li Fuhua's corpse was found in a well in a very remote palace. The corpse had been soaked and swollen. It must have been there for quite a while. When the servant came to report this, Yun Shang couldn't help but frown. "It's new year's Eve. What a bad luck! Go and ask Li Qianmo to have a look."

The guard obeyed. Yun Shang thought for a while and finally stood up, "Let's go. Let's have a look."

The palace was in the east of the Imperial Palace, and was in the other end of the palace, so that day Li Fuhua should have run across the whole Imperial Palace to escape from the Neishi Bureau. When Yun Shang arrived at the gate of the shabby palace where Li Fuhua's corpse was found, she noticed that the palace was in ruins. Even the plaque at the gate fell to the ground, and it was covered with vines.

"Watch out, your majesty!" Qin Yi hurried forward and helped Yun Shang up, "The steps are covered with moss. It has snowed for two days, and the ground is wet and slippery."

Yun Shang nodded and went into the yard. The yard was also overgrown with weeds, and some of them were so tall that they almost reached her waist. Because of the accident, there were many palace guards standing in the yard to watch. Yun Shang frowned and said, "Why is this place so broken? Why didn't anyone clean it? "

Flearing this, a madam answered in a hurry, "Your Majesty, there is something you don't know. This yard was originally sealed by His Former Majesty, and then it was gradually forgotten. If it weren't for such a thing, I'm afraid no one would remember this place."

A flicker of doubt flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, but it didn't last long before she walked towards the crowd.

"Excuse me. Her majesty is here," the guards aside raised their voices, and the surrounding people quickly moved aside.

The well where Li Fuhua's corpse was found was hidden in the half human tall wormwood. Li Fuhuaj's corpse had been picked up and placed on the open space beside the well, covered with a shabby white cloth.

Yun Shang didn't look at Li Fuhua's corpse. She just walked around the well. Although the well was covered by the wormwood, there was a prominent platform about three feet around the well. The surroundings of the well were also very old, covered with moss, and there were messy footprints on the moss, but no marks of someone slipping down.

Yun Shang looked around and returned to the corpse of Li Fuhua. The guards immediately uncovered the white cloth covering the corpse. Yun Shang looked at the corpse and frowned. The corpse was soaked and swollen, but his clothes and shoes were neat, and there were no obvious scars on his body.

Yun Shang stood still and frowned. It was obvious that Li Fuhua didn't fall down by accident, but who was the murderer?

After standing by the well for a while, Yun Shang turned to the guards and said, "I'm afraid people from the Ministry of Justice will be here soon. Ask the servants who have come here in recent days. Let them wait aside. When Master Li comes, he should ask them."

The guard answered in a low voice. Yun Shang continued, "Whoever finds Li Fuhua's corpse first, ask him to stand aside. Lord Li will definitely question him when he comes." The guards immediately went to gather all the servants who were watching in the yard and asked them to stand aside.
