Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 431: A Dangerous Chess Move

Yunshang was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Madam Liu strangely, "Madam's daughter...but Concubine Liu in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, isn't she...how did the pearls on her shoes appear here? Could it be Mrs. Liu missed Concubine Liu so much that she took the pearls from her shoes with her, did she accidentally drop them?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head again and again, "No, no, Chuchu was wearing this shoe the day her accident happened. I remember that I embroidered this shoe for her myself. I know every stitch and thread on it very well."

The Seventh Prince also looked over, pondered for a moment before saying, "Lord Li just found out a few days ago, and said that the blood found in the yard that day was not human blood, and the body of Concubine Liu has never been found. The shoes... also disappeared along with Concubine Liu's body."

"Oh?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, with a three-point sneer and seven-point indifference on his face, "Seventh Brother means to suspect that the body of your Concubine Liu or Concubine Liu herself is in this king's mansion. ?”

The Seventh Prince shook his head quickly when he heard the words, "I believe that the eldest brother would not do such a thing, but if the pearl is indeed on the shoe of Concubine Liu, I am afraid that someone intends to put the blame on the emperor Brother, Mr. Li from the Ministry of Criminal Justice is here, so why not ask Mr. Li to search the house, so as to remove the suspicion for Brother Da Huang."

"Get rid of the suspicion?" Luo smiled softly, "It's a good way to get rid of the suspicion. It's a big Chinese New Year, so I just come here. I really sincerely don't let people have a good New Year."

Yun Chang smiled and said, "After all, what happened was the concubine of the Seventh Prince, and the daughter of Mrs. Liu and Master Liu. Now I am very excited to see something related to Miss Liu. But since we moved into this mansion, So we chose a relatively quiet guest courtyard as the main courtyard. The main courtyard is across the lake, and we rarely come here. Perhaps, as the Seventh Prince said, someone did it deliberately, trying to blame us on Prince Rui's residence. It's a big Chinese New Year, if you can't find out the truth of such a trouble, how can everyone feel at ease, even this princess feels terrified in her heart. Why don't you ask Mr. Li to check it out? ..."

Luo Qingyan listened to what Yunshang said, although he was extremely reluctant on the face, he nodded, "Okay, it's all up to you, but it's bad luck if something like this happens during the Chinese New Year, you are pregnant now. If you're pregnant, don't get involved in these things."

"Look at what the lord said, it's just a pearl, and the seventh lord said it, maybe Liu side concubine is fine." Yun Shang smiled and patted Luo Qingyan's hand, turned to look at Liu Yin Feng and Li Qianmo said with a smile, "I will trouble Mr. Liu and Master Li."

Li Qianmo was Ning Yunshang's man, she believed it very much, but this belief could not let the Seventh Prince see the clue. So she deliberately brought Liu Yinfeng in, just to tell the Seventh Prince that she didn't trust Li Qianmo, but only Liu Yinfeng.

Liu Yinfeng raised his eyes to look at Yunshang, fell silent for a while, and then cupped his hands towards Yunshang.

Li Qianmo also said hastily, "The duty of the lower official is not to be troubled by the princess. The lower official will definitely do his best to find out the truth of the matter."

As Li Qianmo said, he turned to the Seventh Prince and said, "If you want to search the house, I'm afraid it's not enough to be just an official. Please also send someone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send a message so that all the officers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice will come over." .”

The Seventh Prince nodded, then turned around and ordered his attendants to do it.

Everyone stood there and waited. Yun Chang stood there for a while and then said, "Everyone should be thirsty. Qin Yi will go get the tea set and make everyone a cup of tea."

Qin Yi responded, and was about to retreat, but heard Li Qianmo hurriedly said, "No, everyone can't leave here for the time being, please forgive me, Princess."

Yunshang paused for a moment, her complexion was a little bad, she nodded, walked to the edge of the corridor and sat down, when Luo Qingyan saw this, she hurriedly walked to Yunshang and squatted down, "But you don't feel well?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "It's okay." From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the smug look in the eyes of the Seventh Prince, as if she had expected that Yun Shang's move was to make some preparations.

Yun Chang smiled coldly, the Seventh Prince was afraid that he didn't know that he was a step late.

After waiting for about half an hour, the steward came in a hurry with the officers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Li Qianmo took the guards to search around, and the steward hurriedly said, "My lord, my concubine, the princes of the Duke's Mansion are here with you." The young lady has come to pay New Year's greetings to the prince and concubine."

Yun Chang glanced at the others, stood up and said, "May I go to the flower hall to receive guests?"

The Seventh Prince was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I just feel a little tired, so I'll go to the flower hall to sit and rest for a while."

Yun Chang sneered, the Seventh Prince was really worried about them.

There was no emotion on his face, and he walked towards the flower hall together with Luo Qingyan.

Arriving at the entrance of the flower hall, Yun Chang already had a faint smile on her face, and entered the flower hall together with Luo Qingyan, "Happy New Year, cousins ​​and sisters-in-law."

Everyone in the flower hall quickly stood up, "Happy New Year, Prince Rui, Concubine Rui." Their eyes caught sight of the Seventh Prince and his wife behind them, and they quickly saluted again, "I have seen the Seventh Prince and Seventh Concubine."

Luo Qingyan and Yunshang walked to the main seat and sat down, the Seventh Prince and Hua Yutong also sat down in the first seat below, and the rest of the people took their seats one after another.

Because it was the New Year, everyone brought their children with them, and Yan'er couldn't wait to rush towards Yunshang, "Auntie, auntie, has my sister grown up?"

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard his childish talk, "It's still early, how can I grow up so quickly."

"Mother said, it takes ten months for a child to jump out." Another little boy who was following Yan'er quickly followed up, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked like a little gentleman.

Yan'er turned his head and glanced at him, "Ming'er, what you said is true, why didn't mother tell me, how long is ten months?" Then she turned around and lay on Yunshang's lap He began to look at Yunshang, "Auntie, how long is ten months?"

Yun Chang smiled, "Ten months, after you catch crickets and cicadas when the weather is hot, and eat osmanthus honey and osmanthus cake in autumn, you can see your younger brothers and sisters."

"Ah? How long will it take?" Yan'er pouted as if a little unhappy, and walked back to Shen Yilan's side wearily.

Ming'er followed behind him, muttering, "A month is about thirty days, and ten months is three hundred days. You count a number every day, and when you count three hundred, it is ten months."

Yun Shang laughed again when she heard the words, "Ming'er is so smart."

The New Year's greetings are just a formality, and they have to go to many homes in a day. Everyone in Washington gave Yunshang their New Year's greetings, sat for a while, and then left early.

Yun Shang asked the housekeeper to give it off, then turned to Luo with a smile and said softly, "Yan'er is lively, Ming'er is like a little gentleman, but his homework is good, these two children are very fun."

Hua Yutong had also talked with the people in Washington for a long time just now, as if he had regained his senses from the matter just now, and said with a smile, "Wangfei's child must be very outstanding."

Yunshang raised her hand and touched her unswollen abdomen, and said with a smile: "Looking at the children of other families, some are lively and some are smart, but I have never placed too many demands on my own children. He is safe and happy."

Because Prince Rui's status in the court is considered high, many people in the court regard Prince Rui's mansion as the first few when they pay New Year's greetings. Since everyone in Washington left, there have been several batches of people who have come to pay New Year's greetings.

When it was approaching noon, it calmed down a little, Yun Chang felt a little tired, stood up and said to the butler, "Let someone prepare lunch, I feel a little tired, ask Mr. Liu and Li My lord, how are things going, I want to take a nap after lunch."

Luo Qingyan nodded, and ordered the housekeeper to find Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo.

After a while, Li Qianmo and Liu Yinfeng entered the flower hall with Liu and his wife. The Liu and his wife frowned slightly with anxiety on their faces, while Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo looked very calm.

Yun Chang smiled, ordered his servants to pour tea for the four of them, and then said softly, "The four of you have been investigating in the mansion for almost half a day, but what did you find?"

The four of them looked at each other before Li Qianmo opened his mouth, "I didn't find anything except the pearl before. Although the pearl appeared a little strange, there was really no way to find it."

Seeing that the Seventh Prince frowned slightly, Yun Shang seemed to be a little suspicious, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you checked all the places in the mansion?"

Li Qianmo quickly replied: "Yes, even the officials in the courtyard where Prince Rui and Princess Rui live have sent people to investigate carefully, and found nothing else."

"The appearance of the pearl is such a coincidence that the princess and the prince almost never go there, but it happens that the pearl appeared there when the seventh prince and Mrs. Liu came, and it almost made the seventh princess slip. It's a bit strange. This princess thinks that, as the Seventh Prince said earlier, someone did it deliberately, intending to frame Prince Rui's residence." Yun Shang said with a calm expression, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Liu.

"By the way, after the Seventh Prince's Mansion said that something happened to Concubine Liu, the princess and the prince went to the courtyard with Lord Li to check it out, and found that when Concubine Liu married into the Seventh Prince's Mansion, she only brought her Four boxes, and there are only some clothes in the boxes, as well as daily necessities. Even a box of books are books that are common in every household. This princess is a little curious. I heard that when Concubine Liu was in her boudoir, her majesty gave Play the Jiaoweiqin, and Concubine Liu likes it very much. I also heard that Concubine Liu has always said that it is not a book on peach blossom paper, nor a painting in Hui ink. Why did not Concubine Liu bring these three things into the Palace of Seven Princes?"\u003c
