Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 503: The Disappearing Makeup Coffin

Yunshang's heart skipped a beat, and she ran into the house in a hurry, but the concubine's court dress was too complicated, Yunshang stepped on the hem of the skirt, and almost fell, Yunshang also ignored Xia Huanyu and the others, so she lifted her skirt Then ran to the mansion.

The entire palace is so quiet that it makes one feel panicky. It is as quiet as death. From the entrance of the palace to the inside, through the flower hall, to the promenade by the lake, there are corpses of servants scattered at intervals. . Yun Chang glanced quickly over the corpses, and her steps became faster and faster.

"Princess, slow down, be careful about your body." Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo were also a little panicked when they saw this situation, but they were also startled when they saw Yun Chang's desperate running. Qianzhuo quickly used lightness kung fu, and quickly stepped forward to grab Yunshang's arm.

"Squeak..." A strange voice came from a distance, and it was very clear in Prince Rui's mansion, which was as silent as a ghost house at the moment. coming direction.

"Boom..." There was a louder sound, and Yunshang saw a courtyard collapse in the distance by the light of the moon in the sky and the light of the lantern on the promenade.

That was...the yard where she and Luo Qingyan lived.

Yun Chang stared fixedly at the yard, her eyes were frighteningly bright in the night.

Xia Huanyu, who came in right behind, and a group of ministers behind him had already caught up. Seeing that Yunshang was standing there without moving, they hurried forward. Xia Huanyu glanced at Yunshang before saying, "What's wrong?"

Yun Chang didn't speak, but Qin Yi said softly: "Just now, we saw that the courtyard where the princess and the prince live has collapsed."

There was a gloomy look in Xia Huanyu's eyes, and he waved his hand quickly: "The imperial guards lead people to take a look."

The imperial guards quickly ran towards the direction Qin Yi pointed, Xia Huanyu stood in front of Yun Shang, turned his head to look at Yun Shang, "Where is Prince Rui in the courtyard?"

Yun Shang's voice trembled uncontrollably: "Yes, the prince has been recuperating in that yard since he was poisoned."

When Xia Huanyu heard the words, he only nodded slightly, and walked towards the courtyard.

Those ministers who followed Xia Huanyu passed Yun Shang one after another, and Yun Shang raised her head to look at Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, give me a hand, my legs are weak." The voice was not too loud, But it happened that Xia Huanyu, who was walking in the front, could faintly hear it.

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't think that Yun Shang didn't move forward because of this reason, but she also quickly walked to Yun Shang's side, supported Yun Shang, Yun Shang turned around slowly, and then sat down by the corridor .

After everyone walked towards the yard, Yun Shang slowly lowered her head, moved her feet slightly, and bent down to pick up something from the ground.

Both Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo looked at the thing in Yun Shang's hand, which was a dark red ribbon with a blue ribbon at the bottom.

Qin Yi's eyes widened, "This is not..."

Yun Shang put the thing into her sleeve with a calm expression, stood up slowly, and softly said to Qianzhuo: "I don't have internal strength, tell me, how many hidden guards are there around the palace?"

Qian Zhuo stood still for a moment before answering, "Seven out of forty."

Yun Chang nodded slightly, stood up and walked back and forth to the yard.

The fire should be the yard where Yunshang and the others live. Although the fire has been put out, there is still a smell of burning. The imperial guards searched for a long time in the burnt and collapsed house before moving out of the house. A corpse came: "Your Majesty, a total of three corpses were found in the courtyard, two female corpses and one male corpse."

Xia Huanyu raised his head and looked at the three corpses lined up side by side on the ground in the yard. The three corpses had already been burnt beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell who they were from their appearance.

Xia Huanyu frowned, looked at Yunshang, who had her head down and looked pale, and was silent for a moment, before saying, "Go to the Ministry of Punishment and send some instructions."

The imperial guards took the order and quickly left the door.

Someone squatted down next to the corpse and carefully looked at the male corpse on the ground. It was Li Qianmo, the Minister of Criminal Justice. Everyone was watching his movements, and it was only after a while that he stood up and cupped his hands towards Xia Huanyu.

"Your Majesty, although I'm not as detailed as the tester, I have obtained some information. This man is about eight feet three in length, and his age is between twenty-seven and thirty. He is fat and thin. He should be a martial artist all year round man of."

Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Li Qianmo, thinking in her heart that her height, age and characteristics were very consistent with Luo Qingyan.

After Li Qianmo finished speaking, his eyes fell on the waist of the corpse, and he stopped. Yun Chang raised his eyes to look at Li Qianmo, and saw Li Qianmo take a white jade pendant from the waist of the corpse.

Yun Chang's gaze was fixed on the white jade pendant, her body trembled slightly, her hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and she spoke after a while, with a somewhat hoarse voice: "This is the jade pendant worn by the prince."

The yard fell silent all of a sudden, Yun Chang slowly closed her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Qianmo glanced at Yunshang, walked into the collapsed house again, checked around, and then came out, "Your Majesty, the fire has been burning for about half an hour, and there is no smell of tung oil. There is no oil, but the beams in the house are all wood, which burns quickly, which caused the whole house to collapse. It’s just a little strange, logically speaking, there is no oil, and the whole house is except for some flammable things such as wood and cloth. Others have not been burned, indicating that the fire is not fierce. But these three corpses are the only ones that burned the most."

no fuel……

Yun Chang's eyelids twitched slightly, no oil, Li Qianmo said the word twice. No oil, no hassle. Did Li Qianmo want to tell her this information?

Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at Li Qianmo, and saw that he had been looking at Xia Huanyu, but when she looked over, he nodded indistinctly.

Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, then she also raised her feet and walked into the collapsed house, Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi hurriedly followed beside her, for fear that she would fall. Yun Chang stepped in cautiously. In the room, as Li Qianmo said, the clothes and wooden objects in the cabinet were all burnt black, but the other things were still intact.

Yun Chang looked at everything carefully, and after a long while, she walked out of the room, her eyes fell on the corpse, she was silent for a long time, without speaking again, the hand in the sleeve slowly stretched out, and pulled the piano beside her. according to.

Qin Yi turned her eyes to look at Yun Shang, her eyes were full of worry, and she said after a while: "Princess, your face looks very pale, you are pregnant now, please take care of your body."

Xia Huanyu turned her eyes to look at Yunshang when she heard the words, and found that her face was a little frighteningly pale as Yunshang's maid said.

"You first help your concubine to find a clean yard to rest for a while, come and send two imperial doctors to the palace." Xia Huanyu raised her voice.

Qin Yi pulled Yun Chang's sleeves, but Yun Chang was indifferent, Qin Yi pursed her lips, tears glistened in her eyes, as if she was about to cry, "Princess, don't be like this, you still have a baby in your belly." Fetus, if the concubine can't give birth and rest, I'm afraid the child will be lost too. Concubine, it's your and the prince's child..."

Yun Chang rolled her eyes, raised her hand slightly, and put it on her lower abdomen, and said after a while, "My child." There was a bit of confusion in her voice.

After a long time, Yun Shang moved slowly, put her hand in Qin Yi's, "rest."

Qin Yi nodded again and again, and together with Qianzhuo, she helped Yunshang out of the yard from left to right. Xia Huanyu looked at the backs of the three of them, and ordered the imperial guards to follow behind them and escort them Entered a courtyard not far away.

Every yard in the mansion is cleaned regularly every day, but it is clean. Qin Yi lit the glazed lamp, which illuminated the room thoroughly, and closed the doors and windows.

Qianzhuo looked around and said, "There are imperial guards guarding all around, but they are fifty feet away from us, so they can't hear us."

Yun Chang nodded, and then took out the ribbon that she found on the corridor earlier from her sleeve.

Qian Zhuo was a little confused, so he stared at the ribbon for a long while before asking softly, "Princess, what is this?"

Yun Chang raised her head and smiled slowly, with a bit of coldness in her smile: "This is a thing in the palace, it is a decoration that the servant wears around the waist, and this color should only be available to His Majesty's servants. of."

Qian Zhuo was stunned, "The things of His Majesty's valet? Why did they appear there?"

"This is what I want to know." Yun Shang put the thing away again, looked at the light burning quietly in the glazed lamp, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, as if muttering to herself: "No Oil, worry-free, the prince is fine."

Both Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo looked at Yun Shang, not knowing why Yun Shang was so sure.

After a while, Yunshang said indifferently: "From entering the palace to now, the road is full of scattered corpses, but none of them are really familiar faces. I haven't seen any of our own people. Secondly, the corpse must be It's not the prince's. Since the prince started recuperating in the mansion in the name of being poisoned, he usually wears ordinary clothes, and he never likes to wear jade pendants around his waist. Even if it is a jade pendant, he must put it in his arms , or in the sleeve. Then..."

The corners of Yunshang's mouth curled up slightly, "I checked around the house just now, and almost everything in the house is there, except for the clothes that have been burned. But there is only one thing missing, I just searched for a long time in the house and can't find it. None found."

"What?" Qin Yi raised her head and looked at Yun Shang, with some surprise in her eyes.

Yun Shang looked at Qin Yi, "It's something you usually use frequently."

Qin Yi thought about it for a moment, a light flashed in her eyes, "I see, it's... Zhuang Bi."

Yun Shang smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is the makeup coffin. Although the makeup coffin is made of wood, if it burns out, the hairpin jewelry inside will definitely be fine, at most it will be scattered all over the place, but I Haven't seen a single one."\u003c
