Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 988

"I only have a few words to say today. First of all, I have to emphasize that in the Weiyang Palace, you can be a little stupid or slow in reaction. I won't care about these things. But you must remember one thing. If anyone dares do anything bad to me, don't blame me for being rude to him. There are three kinds of people I hate the most, the betrayers, the cheaters, and the ones with impure thoughts. " Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. She didn't need to look in the bronze mirror. She knew that she looked a little fierce now.

"Second, I know you like to chat with other servants when you have nothing to do, but I don't want anything in the Weiyang Palace to be heard by outsiders."

"Last but not least, I hope you know clearly who is in charge of the imperial household now and make the right choice. I don't need to give you any advice on how to survive. I grew up in the Palace. I have seen a lot of messy things in the imperial household. Fortunately, I'm the only one in his majesty's harem now. You must consider who you should see as your master."

After saying that, Yun Shang turned around and looked at Qian Zhuo, "Take the guards to the side hall to do a thorough search. We must find the hairpin."

Qian Zhuo answered yes and called the guards to the side hall.

Yun Shang sat there expressionlessly, staring at the 30-odds servants calmly. They didn't expect that Yun Shang would suddenly send the guards to search the side hall. Yun Shang could clearly see that some of them seemed to be uneasy. A maid standing in the third row turned her head and looked at the east side hall, frowning.

Yun Shang sneered and pointed at the maid. "Take her out."

Qing Hao answered in a hurry. He quickly walked into the crowd and pulled the maid out. Throwing her in the front, he said harshly, "kneel down."

The maid trembled and knelt down in a hurry. "Your Majesty, please spare my life."

"Spare your life? What have you done? Why did you ask me to spare your life? " Yun Shang said coldly. Before the maid could respond, she continued, "What's your name? What are you in charge of the palace?"

"Your... Your Majesty, my name is Xue Rui, I'm in charge of the flowers and plants in the yard." The maid replied in a hurry.

Yun Shang rubbed the teacup with her hand and said, "I saw you staring at the east side hall just now. Are you afraid that the guards will find something in your room?"

"No...No." Xue Rui replied in a low voice.

Yun Shang smiled, "Really? You just kneel here and wait for the guards to finish searching. If they can't find anything in your room, you could get up."

"Yes."

The others all lowered their heads and waited quietly.

About an hour later, the guards searched the side hall, took out all the suspicious things and placed them one by one on the ground in front of the servants.

Yun Shang stood up and walked to those things and checked them one by one. There were all kinds of jewelry, some silver, and even a pair of silver chopsticks. However, the Phoenix shaped hairpin was not among them. Yun Shang's eyes fell on a sachet. She bent over and picked up the sachet. When she opened the sachet, she found there was a faint smell of medicine. Yun Shang smelled it and sneered. It was philter.

Yun Shang threw the sachet on the ground, took the handkerchief from Qian Zhuo and wiped her hands. Then she said indifferently, "Whose things are these? Come and take them yourself."

After saying that, Yun Shang went back to the door and sat down on a chair.

Someone stood out timidly and knelt down behind a pair of emerald earrings. Seeing that someone had come out, others followed. Not long after, all the things had been claimed, except the sachet that Yun Shang had just seen.

"No one is willing to admit that it is his own?" Yun Shang smiled faintly, but anyone could see the chilling coldness in her smile.

"In which room did you find this?" Yun Shang turned to Qian Zhuo and asked.

"There are three maids living in that room, Xue Rui, Xue Jing and An Lan."

Xue Rui had already been kneeling there, and the other two hurried to kneel down.

"Haven't you seen anyone wearing this sachet before?" Yun Shang asked indifferently, and saw that Xue Rui's face was a little pale and there were thick beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Your Majesty, I have seen Xue Rui wear it before." The maid who came up answered in a low voice. Another maid also nodded in a hurry. "I've seen Xue Rui wear it too."

"Xue Rui?" Yun Shang said.
