Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

"Continue to follow, and follow closely. The Supreme Emperor has been immersed in the former court and the harem for more than 30 years. He will not expect someone to follow him. There is something strange about this matter. He deliberately went to the northwest, and it is very likely that he is misleading us. Then we will find a way to get rid of our people." Yun Chang raised her eyes slightly and ordered softly.

"Yes." Qianzhuo responded, quietly looked at Yunshang's face, then opened his mouth slightly and said: "Madam, the weather is not bad today, why don't you go for a walk?"

Yun Chang was a little strange, her eyes moved to Qian Zhuo's face, and she said with a faint smile: "With your guilty look, you can tell that you have premeditated, tell me, what's the matter?"

Hearing what Yunshang said, Qianzhuo stuck out his tongue and couldn't help laughing: "I still can't hide it from the empress, but His Majesty ordered the slaves to persuade the empress to go out for a walk, saying that the brazier is burning all day long in this room. Although I occasionally open the window to breathe in, it is still a bit stuffy, my lady is just recovering from a serious illness, she should go outside more often."

Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips when she heard the words: "You just want me to go out for a walk and just say it. Why do you shrink your head and tail like this, so that people can see that you have something to hide from me. I just said I'm still thinking, maybe it's a man you've taken a fancy to, and I'm sorry to say so."

Qian Zhuo blushed when she heard the words, stomped her feet and said: "Your Majesty knows how to tease slaves."

Yun Chang laughed, stood up and said, "Then go out for a walk." Just as she was about to go outside, she saw herself in the bronze mirror wearing pink clothes, but her hair was just pulled up casually.

She followed the path of getting comfortable in the bedroom, but it was inappropriate to go out like this, so Yun Shang turned around and said to Qian Zhuo: "Give me a bun."

Yunshang sat down in front of the bronze mirror, walked behind Yunshang and tied a flying bun for Yunshang: "What kind of hair accessory does the empress want?"

"You see." Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at the person in the glasses, and responded casually.

Qian Zhuo nodded, opened the makeup coffin, and said softly: "Before the servant girl gave the hairpin to the empress, the queen mother gave the empress the phoenix wings hairpin. That hairpin is exquisitely crafted and lifelike. The empress looks good on it. One step."

Hearing what Qian Zhuo said, Yun Shang remembered that Hua Ling had indeed given her a hairpin with phoenix spreading its wings before, and put a note in it. Yun Chang thought about it, then nodded: "Just one hairpin is enough."

Qianzhuo agreed, and turned around in the makeup coffin for a while, but frowned: "Hey, why is that hairpin missing? I saw it when I was dressing my mother years ago."

"Missing?" Yun Chang frowned, "It's well placed in the makeup coffin in the inner hall, how could it disappear?"

Qianzhu is also a little strange: "Besides, all the things that the empress will come into contact with in this bedroom are taken care of by the servants, Peilan and Qinghao. Other than that, they have never been in the hands of others. meeting……"

Yun Shang was silent for a moment before saying: "Besides, there are many hidden guards inside and outside Weiyang Palace, who can steal a hairpin from this makeup coffin quietly? If you look again, there are other things missing? "

Qian Zhuo quickly poured out all the things in the makeup coffin and counted them carefully, then shook his head: "Only the hairpin is missing."

Yun Shang felt even more unbelievable. The jewelry in her makeup coffin were not only priceless, but they were all extraordinary. And why did you steal that one alone? And that hairpin has the pattern of a phoenix spreading its wings. The phoenix is ​​the symbol of the queen, even if it is taken away, I dare not wear it lightly.

Qian Jue bit her lip, and after a long silence, she said: "I will check later, whoever has been in this bedroom recently."

But Yun Shang suddenly remembered that after Yun Chang brought back the hairpin that the phoenix spread its wings, she only wore it once, that is, after taking the hairpin back from Empress Hua, Luo Qingyan saw it, Luo Qing Yan personally took the hairpin and made it for her. Later, by accident, he found the note that Hua Ling had hidden in the hairpin.

Then, that hairpin...

Yun Chang frowned and thought about it carefully. She remembered that after reading the note that day, she stuffed the note into the hairpin and put the hairpin beside the pillow. Why does Qianzhuo say that he saw it in the makeup coffin years ago?

"I remember that I wore the hairpin once when I brought it back, and then put it beside the pillow. Did you put it in the makeup coffin?" Yun Shang raised her head softly and asked lightly.

She was stunned for a moment, but she shook her head and said: "It's not a slave girl, the slave girl saw that hairpin was in the makeup coffin, could it be that sister Qin Yi saw it when she was cleaning the bed and put it in the makeup coffin middle?"

Yun Shang didn't respond, and had another question: "And the hairpin, when I got it from Empress Hua, it was put in a box, and no one else had seen it before. Who told you that the hairpin was given by Empress Hua?" For me?"

Qian Zhuo tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "It's Pinellia."

"Banxia?" Yunshang frowned. Banxia was the maid who was found dead in the side hall the year before last. Yunshang felt that her death should be at the hands of Xia Huanyu.

Qian Zhuo nodded and said: "One day, the servant girl was cleaning the hairpin in the makeup coffin. When she saw the hairpin, she was still amazed at the exquisite workmanship of the phoenix's wings. The lady would look good when she wore it. Ban Xia walked in, Seeing the hairpin, he said to his servant, it seems that the Empress Dowager really loves the Empress Dowager, this hairpin was given to the Empress Dowager by the Supreme Emperor, and the Empress Dowager actually gave it to the Empress Dowager.”

Yun Shang believed in Qian Zhuo, and frowned when she heard what she said: "If I remember correctly, Ban Xia has never served by the queen mother's side?"

"Ban Xia served the fourteenth princess before, but after the fourteenth princess drowned and died, she has been doing some cleaning work in the palace where the fourteenth princess lived, and has never been around the empress dowager." Responded softly.

When Yun Shang heard the words, she narrowed her eyes: "You have been serving the queen mother all the time, do you know that this hairpin was given to the queen mother by the emperor?"

Qianzhuo shook his head, his eyes were blank: "After the empress dowager entered the palace, she was very favored. At that time, the emperor would send many things to Weiyang Palace every day, ranging from various vase decorations to small clothes and jade jewelry. , how could this servant notice such a small thing."

Yun Shang nodded: "This is the problem."

"Before I entered the palace, you were always by the Queen Mother's side, but you didn't know that the hairpin on which the phoenix spread its wings was given to the Queen Mother by the Supreme Emperor. But she, who has never served by the Queen Mother, seems to know something. It's as clear as day." Yun Chang's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Could it be that Ban Xia took the hairpin? But, Ban Xia is already dead." Qian Zhuo whispered.

Yun Chang was silent for a long time before sighing lightly: "Yes, he is dead."

Yun Chang frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She didn't care about the hairpin, and the note in the hairpin must not be clear to others, but what she was worried about was that the hairpin was missing now. hand, I don't know what kind of trouble it caused.

"The place where Banxia used to live, and all her things, you search carefully, and you may find that hairpin." After ordering Qianzhuo, Yunshang sighed and said: "Change a hairpin. "

Qianzhuo responded, and took three identical auspicious cloud white jade hairpins for Yunshang. Yun Chang stood up and was about to go out. As soon as she reached the bead curtain, she saw Pei Lan lift the bead curtain and walk in.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li please see me."

Yun Chang was stunned, but this Concubine Li Yun Chang remembered that she had come to beg twice since she entered the palace, but both times she was rejected because Yun Chang couldn't be free. What a persistent person.

Yun Chang opened the bead curtain and walked out, and saw a woman sitting on the chair on the left in the main hall. Although she is a concubine, the woman's appearance is well maintained. She looks like she is in her twenties, and her makeup is exquisite. Whether it is clothes or jewelry, she can be regarded as exquisite.

Seeing Yun Chang coming out, Concubine Li quickly stood up: "I pay my respects to the empress."

Yun Chang hurriedly stepped forward to give her a little support, and said with a smile: "Concubine Li, you don't need to be too polite, after all, I should call you concubine mother."

Concubine Li hurriedly said, "Don't dare to act, dare not act."

Yun Shang smiled slightly, went to the chair and sat down, then raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Li with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Li came to Weiyang Palace several times before, but every time it was very unfortunate, I have not been able to See Concubine Li."

Concubine Li quickly said, "It's my concubine's fault."

Yun Chang only smiled quietly, but did not respond, secretly guessing in her heart the meaning of Taifei Li's visit now. Concubine Li was originally just a concubine in the harem, but it was because Hua Ling entered the palace that she was made a virtuous concubine, one of the four concubines. Not long afterward, Xia Huanyu abdicated the throne, and this Xianfei Li became Taifei Li.

Concubine Li saw that Yun Chang hadn't spoken, so she spoke hesitantly: "I heard that the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager have left the palace for a wandering tour..."

Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed when she heard the words. She would never believe that Concubine Li would not know the exact news of this matter. Concealment, the women who have stayed in this palace, especially the women who used to be low-ranking, must be extremely sensitive to these news: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing."

Concubine Li's complexion changed when she heard the words, and she hurriedly said: "Uh, why is this happening? Earlier, the Empress Dowager specially ordered my concubine to help investigate something, but now that the Empress Dowager is out of the palace, this concubine can't do that." Who should I report to?"

Hearing what Concubine Li said, Yunshang basically guessed her plan. It is possible that she wanted to find a proper backer in the harem, so she came here. \u003c
