After Qi Ruihai left, a servant came to report that Luo Qingyan asked Yun Shang to go to the Meeting Hall. Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo helplessly and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't want to have a walk. It's really a coincidence." She didn't have much time recently. Today, Qian Zhuo tried to persuade her to go out for a walk, but was interrupted by all kinds of things.
Qian Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't matter. I just want you to go out for a walk. You can also pass the Imperial Garden when you go to Meeting Hall."
Yun Shang nodded and stood up. "Let's go. I'm wondering if his majesty has something important to tell me. Why he asked me to the Meeting Hall instead of telling me after he came back to the Weiyang Palace?"
The two of them walked out of Weiyang Palace, passed through the Imperial Garden and went to the Meeting Hall. There were many willows by the lake in the Imperial Garden, and they began to sprout. Yun Shang looked at the very obscure green, and said with a smile, "Spring is coming."
"Yes, it will be warm in a few days." Qian Zhuo answered softly.
Yun Shang smiled. The most difficult winter she had ever had in her life was finally over. Spring brought new vitality, and everything would always past.
Yun Shang kept smiling and walked quickly to the door of the Meeting Hall. As soon as Liu Wenan saw Yun Shang, he pushed the door open for her and greeted her with a smile, "Your Majesty." Yun Shang nodded, asked Qian Zhuo to wait at the door, and stepped into the Meeting Hall.
After entering the Meeting Hall, Yun Shang found that besides Luo Qingyan, Li Qianmo was also there.
"Your Majesty." After Li Qianmo greeted Yun Shang, Luo Qingyan looked up at Yun Shang and smiled, "Mr. Li has something to tell you, but it's inconvenient for him to go to the inner palace, so I called you here."
It was not until then that Yun Shang realized why she was called here. After finishing speaking, Luo Qingyan lowered her head to deal with the memorials. Yun Shang walked to a chair and sat down, smiling at Li Qianmo. "Lord Li, do you have anything to report?"
Li Qianmo stepped forward two steps in a hurry, lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have found out the cause of Li Fuhua's death, and I have a suspect."
Yun Shang was surprised. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Really? Who is the murderer? "
Li Qianmo kept silent for a while and said, "If nothing goes wrong, it should be Lady Cao."
"Lady Cao?" Yun Shang frowned and murmured. She didn't know who Lady Cao was.
Li Qianmo must have noticed Yun Shang's confusion, so he explained in a hurry, "Lady Cao is the mother of the fifteenth Princess."
Hearing what Li Qianmo said, Yun Shang was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Are you talking about her?"
Yun Shang remembered that Lady Cao was extremely quiet and gentle. How could she be the murderer of Li Fuhua? Why did she do that? Lady Cao. Yun Shang was shocked. The surname Cao was unusual when she thought of it now. The surname of Wenxi was Cao, and the surname of the Lady Cao in the Luoxue Pavilion was also Cao. Would the fifteenth Princess's mother have anything to do with the Cao clan?
"Why did you say she is the murderer?" Yun Shang asked softly.
"The other day, your majesty told me that the murderer was most likely among the maids who had appeared in the Luoxue Pavilion, and she must be from a nearby palace. I have made a careful investigation and got some clues. Lady Cao's Qinxin Palace is not far from the Luoxue Pavilion. Some servants said they saw a senior maid from Lady Cao's palace cleaning outside of the Luoxue Pavilion."
Hearing this, Yun Shang felt something was wrong. Why was Lady Cao's maid cleaning outside the Luoxue pavilion?
Li Qianmo continued, "After my investigation, I also got an important clue. Lady Cao was not favored in recent years. In the past few years, she didn't even have enough food and clothing. But later, she got along well with Li Fuhua, so she didn't lack food and clothing as she did a few years ago."
Yun Shang sensed that Li Qianmo's words sounded a little strange. She thought for a while and couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean, she and Li Fuhua..."
Yun Shang bit her lips and felt that many things in the imperial household were dirtier than she had imagined. Previously, she had heard that Li Fuhua had an affair with some imperial concubine. When she locked Li Fuhua in the Neishi Bureau, she also took it as one of his crime. She really didn't know that the concubine who had an affair with Li Fuhua was her.
Yun Shang looked up at Li Qianmo, "Is that the reason? Do you have any other evidence? "
