Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Prince Jing touched Yunshang's hair with a smile, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I know, don't worry, since I promised you will be fine, I will definitely come back."

After a pause, he said again, "You should also be careful in Jincheng, and the hidden guards must not leave you when you go out."

Yun Shang laughed lightly when she heard the words, but couldn't stop, "It seems like we are going to separate soon, and the prince will leave in half a month."

Prince Jing couldn't help laughing, pinched her forehead, and sighed softly, "You."

When I returned to the palace, I saw the manager waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing his expression, Yun Shang knew that something must have happened, so she quickly got out of the carriage, frowned and said, "But what happened?"

The manager looked around, and then said softly to Yunshang and Luo, "The prince and princess should go back to the mansion first, the old slave has something to report."

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other, then followed the manager into the mansion, and said after returning to the yard, "What's the matter? Look at your pale face."

The steward was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Today, when the servant was cleaning the study, he found a doll in the dark room with His Majesty's birthday written on it, and it was covered with silver needles. The servant who cleaned it After discovering it, I didn’t report it to the old slave, but told other people, when the old slave found out about it, the servant had died suddenly, and the puppet had disappeared.”

Yun Chang's complexion suddenly turned pale, and Luo Qingyan's complexion was also a little ugly. No matter which dynasty, generation or country, witchcraft is forbidden, and the birthdays of the royal family are all forbidden. It's top secret. If it is involved with witchcraft, it is a serious crime of extermination.

"After you found out, has anyone been out of the house?" Yun Shang asked quickly.

The manager quickly shook his head, "The old slave should even order people to close all the doors, and discussed with Luo Yi, and asked them to send secret guards to monitor the whereabouts of everyone in the mansion. However, it's okay to keep the doors closed and not allow anyone to come in and out. It's not a long-term solution, all food and drink supplies in the palace need to be purchased..."

Yun Shang paced back and forth in the house for a while, before saying, "Then we will close the door for one night, we only have one night, and we must search for this witch doll tonight."

"Search the mansion?" The manager pondered for a moment, "It's just some old servants in our mansion when the former prince was there. If we search the mansion rashly, the old slaves are afraid that someone will suspect it."

"Just find a reason." Luo frowned softly, and said lightly, "The jade pendant worn by the princess has disappeared in the mansion. I am afraid that there have been internal thieves. Today, everyone is not allowed to enter or leave the palace, and they must accept it one by one. search."

The manager quickly responded and ran down in a hurry.

Yunshang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other, sat down in the room, and Qianyin quickly served tea. Yun Shang picked up the tea, "There are so many people in the mansion, it's my fault that I didn't dismiss all the servants from the former prince's mansion when I entered the mansion."

Luo shook his head softly, "Even if we are dismissed, what should happen will happen after all. We only brought so many people here. If we don't want to expose the strength lurking in the dark, we can only go outside to find some people." When servants come into the mansion, if others intend to put people in, we will be hard to guard against. Before, we just thought that as long as we don’t let other people enter our yard, we can sleep peacefully, but we forgot, now Every inch of land in Prince Rui's Mansion is related to me, if others want to do something, they don't necessarily have to do it in this courtyard."

Both of them fell silent.

Time passed little by little, and it was almost midnight.

There was a faint voice of talking outside, and the tea in front of Yunshang had been refilled three times.

"Stop, stop! Where are you running?" There was a commotion outside, Yun Chang stood up abruptly, and walked to the door, and saw the servant holding a torch as if chasing someone.

Yun Shang winked at Qianyin, Qianyin clapped her hands, and then two shadows rushed towards the figure running in the front, and brought that person over after a while.

Yun Chang frowned and looked over, and saw that it was a man in his thirties, with an unattractive appearance and erratic eyes, as if he was very guilty.

"What are you running for?" The dark guard threw the man to the ground violently, the man's face wrinkled in pain.

The manager came over and said, "My lord, this man's name is Zhou Yi, who is in charge of carrying water in the big kitchen. When we searched the yard where he lived just now, we saw him digging in the yard furtively, as if They wanted to bury something, and as soon as they saw the servant passing by, they hurriedly wanted to run out of the mansion, but found that the back door was also guarded by guards, so they turned back."

Yun Chang glanced over lightly, seeing a ball in his arms, frowned and said, "Take out the things in his arms."

The hidden guard responded, then stepped forward and kicked Zhou Yi to the ground. Zhou Yi saw that the hidden guard seemed to want to grab something in his arms, so he quickly hugged him to prevent the hidden guard from approaching.

The two hidden guards rushed forward and kicked him in the back. The pain caused the man's body to loosen a little. The other took the opportunity to break away his arms holding his knees, and the two of them removed the things in his arms together. out.

It was a pink bellyband embroidered with rhododendrons.

Yun Chang frowned, "What is this?"

That Zhou Yi frowned in pain. Seeing that the things had been taken out and exposed to everyone, he quickly turned over and knelt down, fell on the ground and said, "My lord, spare my life, my little one shouldn't hook up with the maids in the mansion!" , have an affair, beg Wangfei to spare her life."

Yun Chang sighed, without looking at the man, "Take it away, and deal with it as you want."

Yun Chang didn't expect that after such a search, it also found a lot of things that are not seen by the servants, such as the servants under the same roof who stole other people's jewelry, and what stole the property of the mansion, everywhere. However, the voodoo doll was still not found.

Yun Shang frowned and looked at Luo Qingyan, and after a moment of silence, she said, "My lord, it has been more than an hour now, but there are still no clues. Now we have to make two plans."

Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "What does Shang'er think we should do?"

"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack." Yunshang said lightly, his expression no longer anxious, "The date of birth written on the voodoo doll belongs to the emperor, I just suddenly thought, in fact, what is the voodoo doll in this mansion Whether it was sent out or not is not the key at all. It can be seen that someone did it deliberately. The person who arranged this plan does not need to get the witch doll, he only needs to prepare another one, and then go to the palace to find the emperor, saying that it is It can be found in the palace. When the Empress came to the palace to investigate the matter, the people in the palace he arranged to come out and testify that it was indeed found in the palace. Moreover, we searched behind closed doors just now, but it was just right. That man's plan. At that time, the emperor only needs to ask, and he will know that we are indeed looking for something, and then we will have difficulty in arguing."

"At this hour, the emperor must have rested. For today's plan, we must immediately prepare the car, enter the palace immediately, and see the emperor." Yun Shang thought about it, and hurriedly asked Qianyin to ask the dark guard to send a message to Ning Qian Signal, I just hope that today His Majesty ordered Ning Qian to serve the bedroom.

Luo Qingyan frowned and nodded, "I'll go into the palace, so you can stay in the palace."

Yun Shang shook her head, "The prince is in the mansion, and I will enter the palace. At this time, the prince must not be able to enter the harem, and he still needs to wait for the palace people to report in the meeting hall."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan was silent for a long while before saying, "I will let the housekeeper, Qianyin, and Luo Yi stay in the mansion to continue searching, and I will accompany you into the palace."

Knowing that he was worried about himself, Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, ordered the housekeeper to prepare a horse, and rode it straight to the palace.

The palace had already been locked, the guard at the palace gate saw that it was Luo Qingyan, he was stunned, and then said, "My lord and concubine are so late, what's the rush to enter the palace?"

"If there is something urgent that needs to be reported to His Majesty immediately, open the door." Luo Qingyan showed the token to the guard, the guard took a look at it, then nodded, opened the palace door, and let the two enter the palace.

Luo Qingyan couldn't enter the harem, so he could only wait in the meeting hall. Yunshang asked the servant to ask. Fortunately, as Yunshang wished, the person who served Xia Huanyu today was none other than Ning Qian.

Yun Chang went straight to Xiangzhu Hall.

Although it was the dead of night, there was already a person waiting outside the Xiangzhu Hall, Yun Chang frowned, but never thought that the person was Princess Tai'an. Yun Chang pondered for a moment, then dodged and hid behind a tree aside, looking towards the front of the Xiangzhu Hall.

"Presumptuous, this princess wants to see the emperor, how can you stop me? Be careful, this princess will speak in front of the emperor tomorrow, be careful of your heads!" Princess Tai'an scolded.

The palace man standing in front of the palace gate hurriedly said, "Princess, please calm down. Is it because the servants are unwilling to let the princess see Your Majesty? It's just that Your Majesty has ordered before that no one is allowed to disturb you. The servants really dare not disobey His Majesty's will." ah."

Princess Tai'an snorted coldly.

The maid beside her hurriedly persuaded, "Princess, let's come early tomorrow morning, we have been waiting for more than an hour, princess, you are not ignorant of the emperor's temper, if you make the emperor angry, I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain. "

Princess Tai'an didn't speak, and stood there for a while before shaking her sleeves, "Let's go back to the Princess Mansion."

Seeing that the two had left, Yun Shang came out from behind the tree where she was hiding, walked to the front of the Xiangzhu Hall, looked at the palace guards at the gate, and said with a smile, "Princess Rui has something to ask to see Your Majesty and Concubine Xianggui." Madam, please report to the father-in-laws."

Those palace people looked at each other, and then quickly said flatteringly, "Wangfei, please come in, the master has given orders before, if Wangfei comes, just go in, there are already people waiting inside."\u003c
