Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 408: Frontal Conflict

Go out of town?

Yun Chang frowned, with a little puzzlement in his eyes. Why go outside the city? Yun Chang thought about it carefully, stood up suddenly, and patted the armrest of the chair, "I see! It's the funeral team, it's Mrs. Liu's funeral team!"

As soon as the words fell, Qianzhuo whispered in Yunshang's ear, saying that the secret guard who went to Liu's mansion to inquire has returned.

Yun Chang hurriedly passed the message in, and the hidden guard hurriedly said, "Princess, my subordinates were ordered to go to Liu's mansion to find Mrs. Liu's personal maid, but found that Mrs. Liu's body was still parked in a relatively remote room."

Mrs. Liu's body is still in the house, so who is in the coffin in the funeral procession?

Yun Chang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said to Duke Hua and Liu Ming, "Hurry up, Commander Liu leads the Imperial Forest Army to Chaliu's Mansion, and grandfather goes to stop the funeral procession."

Hua Guogong and Liu Ming responded quickly, and ran out of the flower hall in a hurry.

Yun Chang's complexion was not very good, her heart was beating violently, she stood up after being silent for a while, "No, I have to take a look too."

Mrs. Guogong quickly grabbed Yunshang and said, "Anyone can go, but you can't, and don't think about your own body. Don't worry, things have come to this point, your grandfather will definitely bring Qingyan back safely of."

Yunshang couldn't do it, so she had to sit down again, and after a while, the lady of the country suddenly couldn't sit still, stood up and said to Yunshang, "I have to go to the palace, the queen still needs people. Go and explain the situation."

Yun Shang thought about it, and felt that if the queen didn't know anything, she might hate Prince Rui's mansion even more, so she responded softly.

Only Yunshang and the servants in the room were left in the flower hall.

Qianzhuo leaned down and said softly, "There is no charcoal stove in the flower hall, the princess should go back to the yard and wait."

Yun Chang shook her head, "There will definitely be various news coming back and forth today, and there will be many things to deal with, so I will wait in the flower hall."

Can't drink lightly, so he ordered his servants to prepare a few charcoal fire pots, brought them into the flower hall, and brought a small stove for making tea, cooked fruit tea for Yun Chang and handed them over.

It was only then that Yun Chang realized that she was tightly clenched with her hands in the sleeves, and a few marks had been pinched on her palms. After letting go of her hand, she took the teacup, and Yunshang drank the tea absent-mindedly. After drinking a cup of tea, he stood up again and murmured: "No, I'm still a little uneasy, I have to take a look."

Seeing Yun Chang's appearance, Qian Zhuo didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just asked people to prepare a carriage, put thick cushions in the carriage, and ordered hundreds of hidden guards to follow, Fang helped Yun Shang into the carriage .

The funeral procession will circle around the city, and generally not too fast, if it is too fast, it will definitely attract attention. Not long after Yunshang and the others left the city, they heard the sound of the elegy accompanied by the faint sound of crying.

Moreover, on the road sacrifice table placed by the Liu Mansion on the side of the road, when the funeral team passed by, the scented wax on Fang had not burned much.

After Yunshang and the others walked for a while, they faintly saw the shadow of the summoning banner. Duke Hua and the imperial guards had not yet arrived, so it would take some time to deploy troops.

Yun Chang thought for a while, then got out of the carriage, put on the veiled hat, and followed the funeral team for a while. The funeral procession was very long, and the procession meandered, a mile long from the front of the procession to the back.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, I heard the sound of horseshoes from behind. Yun Chang turned around and saw Duke Hua rushing over with the imperial guards.

It seemed that someone had discovered the imperial guards, and the funeral procession speeded up a bit. However, he was quickly surrounded by Duke Hua from the side and stopped him.

Yunshang and Qianzhuo looked at each other, and hurriedly followed up quietly from the side, and saw Liu Jin wearing plain clothes, with traces of crying on his face, but at this moment he was pointing at Duke Hua, with blue veins on his forehead Suddenly, his voice was a little loud, "What are you going to do? If it's the other way around, won't you be afraid of thunder if you do this?"

Duke Hua sneered, not to be outdone, "The old man should have asked you these words, right? Liu Jin, you are simply rebellious!" After speaking, he waved his hand without looking at Liu Jin, and said, " Search!"

"Wait!" A voice suddenly sounded, Yun Chang turned his eyes, and saw Liu Yinfeng coming out of the funeral procession, walked to the front and said, "Hua Guogong brought the imperial guards to stop him so aggressively." The funeral procession for Cao Min’s mother-in-law, no matter whether it’s emotional or reasonable, you should give me an explanation.”

Hua Guogong looked a little unhappy, and said with a sneer, "It's a joke!"

Yunshang didn't want Duke Hua and Liu Yinfeng to have a conflict, so he hurriedly said, "Grandfather, take the imperial guards to search, and let me explain to Mr. Liu."

Only then did everyone discover Yun Chang who had approached quietly, Duke Hua frowned, "Why are you here, you messing around!"

Yun Chang smiled and looked at Liu Yinfeng, "Master Liu, would you like to believe me?"

Liu Yinfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Yun Shang said, "Mrs. Liu's body is still in a remote woodshed in Liu's mansion. I don't know who is lying in this coffin."

Yun Chang's voice was not low, everyone around Liu Yinfeng could hear it clearly, and Liu Jin became even more excited, "What nonsense are you talking about, I, Liu Jin, is also an important minister in the court, and I was the one who made my wife Did you search the coffin as soon as you said it? Someone! Stop them and capture that woman!"

The imperial guards around Duke Hua drew out their swords around their waists one after another, and the hidden guards around Yunshang also blocked Yunshang one after another. Duke Hua sneered and shouted, "Search!"

Liu Yinfeng frowned and stared at Yunshang for a while, then turned his head silently to look at the white hearse with the coffin pulled not far away. He was silent for a long while, but he didn't speak again after all.

People in the funeral procession, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, also drew their weapons from their waists one after another. For a moment, the scene was tense, as if it was about to explode.

Liu Yinfeng frowned a little deeper, moved his body quietly, and also blocked Yun Chang.

Yun Chang was silent for a moment, then took a step back calmly.

Hua Guogong said indifferently, "No matter who the imperial guards want to search, they can't stop it. Search!"

When the imperial guards got the order, they rushed up with their swords, and there was a sudden chaos. Yun Chang's gaze had been on Liu Yinfeng all the time, but he seemed to be a little flustered when he saw his brows furrowed tightly. Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then shouted again, "The princess's Tibetan soldiers near Qiancheng have been wiped out by the Imperial Forest Army, and the princess has no way out!"

The voice was drowned out by the surrounding voices, but Yun Shang could clearly see Liu Jin's hand trembling slightly.

There are many imperial guards, and all of them have undergone rigorous training. After a while, the decline of the funeral procession gradually became apparent.

Yun Chang saw that Liu Jin was already moving quietly behind him, as if he was about to look for an opportunity to escape.

Yun Chang squinted her eyes, turned around and pointed in Liu Jin's direction to Qian Zhuo. Qianzhuo looked over for a moment, then nodded, and quietly walked towards Liu Jin from beside Yunshang.

When Liu Jin was about to turn around and start running, Qian Zhuo suddenly stepped forward and knocked Liu Jin to the ground with a palm.

The hidden guard rushed over two quickly, pulled Liu Jin up, and escorted him to the side.

The imperial guards had already approached the coffin, and within a moment, they cleared away the mourners near the hearse. Hua Guogong hurried over, jumped on the hearse, and pried the coffin away, but when he looked at the person in the coffin, he suddenly frowned.

Seeing this, Yunshang also walked over, Qianzhuo helped Yunshang into the hearse, Yunshang looked into the coffin, but saw a strange woman lying in the coffin, about thirty or forty years old, The complexion is bluish white. Yun Chang frowned, reached out and touched the woman's face, but found no trace of disguise.

Yun Chang frowned, and then heard Liu Jin laugh out loud, with a bit of pride in his laughter, "Hahahaha, is there something you want to find in the coffin? As I said, you are so reckless, I will always make you pay."

Yun Chang turned around and looked at Liu Jin, her expression calm: "But my princess heard that today is Mrs. Liu's funeral ceremony, why isn't Mrs. Liu in this coffin?"

Liu Jin sneered, "Princess Rui may have misheard, the old man's first wife and concubines are gone, it's just the rules of the nobles of the Xia Kingdom, the more noble the status, the longer the time to stay in the mansion will be longer. Old man Naturally, my wife should have been in mourning for more than a month, but this concubine, like ordinary people, had to be buried within seven days."

Yun Shang frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but the person lying in the coffin was indeed not anyone they thought.

Thinking about it, Yun Chang got out of the hearse and walked around the hearse without saying a word.

Liu Jin said angrily, "You stopped the funeral procession of my Liu Mansion today, and I don't care about you because I was rushing to the burial today. When I return to the mansion, I will enter the palace myself and make you pay the price."

Hua Guogong looked a little displeased, and snorted, "Who do you want to go to the palace to find to attack me?"

Liu Jin also snorted coldly, "Let this old man go soon."

Yun Chang didn't speak, but walked around the hearse again, tapping the bottom of the coffin and the hearse lightly with her hand. After knocking, there will be a "boom" sound.

Yun Chang frowned, knocked again a few times, and turned his head to look at Liu Jin thoughtfully, but saw that although he was arguing with Duke Hua, his eyes kept staring at her as if nothing .

Yun Chang was silent for a moment, then turned around and said to the guard who was standing beside him, "Lift the coffin out of the hearse, lift the corpse out, see if the coffin has compartments, and see if the hearse is hollow, I just knocked, and the sound is not quite right."\u003c
