Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 963

Hearing this, Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo. Qian Zhuo shook her head and said, "I didn't see her either. Maybe she was called away by Aunt Qin Yi. Since Aunt Qin Yi went to the Imperial Household Department, she must have a lot of work to do there."

Yun Shang nodded and said to Pei Lan, "Since we can't find Ban Xia, you can go to the Qinghao to work with you."

Pei Lan replied and left in a hurry.

Yun Shang didn't care about it at all. She lowered her head and read for a while. Then she had lunch. When she was about to have a rest on the couch, she saw Pei Lan running over in a hurry with a panic on her face, "Your Majesty, something's wrong. Ban Xia is dead."

Yun Shang was surprised. She sat up straight and looked at Pei Lan, "What happened?"

Pei Lan was probably a little scared. Her face was a little pale and she could not speak for a long time with her mouth open. Qian Zhuo quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her, comforting her softly, "Don't worry. Drink a glass of water slowly and tell her majesty carefully what you have found."

Pei Lan took the water, her hands still trembling slightly. She took a sip of water and said after a long time, "Just now, Qinghao and I took people to clean the west side hall. There are no people living in the west side hall, and there are some grocery stores. In one of the rooms, there are some old chairs that might have been replaced before. I asked someone to move those chairs away and dispose of them. However, I didn't expect to find the corpse of Ban Xia behind those chairs."

Corpse? Corpse again? Yun Shang frowned and felt powerless. It was the new year's Eve, so he couldn't let others have a happy new year?

Yun Shang stood up, asked Qian Zhuo to take a cloak and put it on. Then she walked out of the main hall, passed through the circular arch on the left of the yard in front of the main hall, and entered the west side hall. The door of the side hall had already been guarded. Except for the servants who came with them to clean the spot, no one else was alerted.

As soon as Yun Shang entered the side hall, she saw that the corpse of Ban Xia had been carried out and placed in the yard.

Yun Shang squatted down and had a careful examination. She should not have been dead for long, and her skin was still a little elastic. There was a wound on her neck that was not too obvious, and there was not much blood flowing, and there was no other injury. Yun Shang looked at the wound on her neck. Although it was not obvious, she was killed by a knife. The murderer must have used a sharp knife and attacked her very fast.

"Take her in and search her carefully," Yun Shang whispered.
