Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Yun Chang froze in place, but happily ran towards the bed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, the little prince can go."

Yun Shang looked at Bao'er, with a bit of contemplation in her eyes, Bao'er blinked at Yun Chang, and took another step, but one foot was tripped by the other, and her body staggered, Almost fell off the couch. Hua'er and Qian Zhuo hurried forward to catch Bao'er, but Bao'er seemed not to be frightened at all, and laughed while staring at Qian Zhuo.

Yun Chang smiled, walked over to pick up Bao'er, adjusted Bao'er's clothes, and said softly: "Your father will come back later, how about you go and show your father one more?"

Yun Chang saw that Bao'er rolled her eyes slightly after hearing what she said, and smiled at Yun Chang. Yun Chang's eyes lit up slightly, she hooked the corners of her mouth, handed Bao'er to Hua'er and said, "It's been such a mess for a while, take him back to feed and take a nap."

Hua'er quickly complied, opened the bead curtain and walked out with Bao'er in her arms. Yun Chang looked at the shaking bead curtain, then turned around and said, "You guys go down first, I'll take a rest first."

Everyone in the inner hall retreated, Yun Chang went to the couch and sat down, with a bit of contemplation in her eyes, she had some guesses in her heart, but felt that the matter was too mysterious, and she was still not sure. Her Bao'er might really experience a miracle.

Yunshang sat in the hall for a while, but heard Qianliu's voice from outside, seeming to be a little anxious: "Your Majesty, this servant has something important to report."

Yun Chang raised her head and raised her voice, "Come in."

Qian Liu opened the bead curtain abruptly, hurried in from the outside, and hurriedly said: "Madam, the guard who delivered the letter to Mingqian has been found."

"Huh?" Yunshang was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Qianliu said: "Where is it?"

Qian Liu's face was a little dignified, and she only whispered: "Mother, he is dead. The body was found behind the rockery in the imperial garden, and it seems that he has been dead for two days."

There was also surprise in Yunshang's eyes, and she suddenly looked at Qianliu, her expression paused for a while, and she regained her clarity after a while, and muttered to herself: "Dead?"

"Yes, Eunuch Qi, the internal servant, has brought people there. Recently, people have been killed one after another in the harem, causing some people to panic. Madam, I'm afraid this is not a good thing." Qian Liu's voice was low and heavy, "Since the empress came back from Lingxi City, the harem seems to have been not peaceful. Although only the palace servants and guards died, it was easy to be caught by the ministers of the previous dynasty, saying that the empress was not effective in governing the harem."

Yun Shang nodded lightly, "Your worry is not unreasonable, but now that something has happened, it really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. I don't believe that with so many people in the palace, the death of Mingqian and that guard can be completely avoided. Excuse me, if there is no clue, then the person behind the plot is a big problem for me. There must be a brave man under the reward, and I will tell you. Anyone who provides useful clues will be promoted to the next rank. Waiting for the palace, there is also an additional reward of ten taels of gold. Those who are originally first-class palaces can be promoted to the first palace maid, and have the opportunity to become the assistant director of the six bureaus of one prison, one government, and one hospital."

Qian Liu responded, saluted Yun Shang, and hurriedly retreated.

Yun Chang stood up, a look of sternness flashed in her eyes, this harem is now in her hands, she will definitely not let it mess up.

Less than half a day after the decree was promulgated, there was a clue: "Your Majesty, the eunuch on duty in the palace once saw that in the middle of the night when the incident happened, a palace maid was walking in the imperial garden. After the eunuch on duty found out that day, he asked aloud, The maid ran away in a hurry, and the place where the maid appeared was the place where the body was found. The eunuch on duty said that the maid, judging from her clothes, did not seem to be an ordinary maid, she should be a manager or above .”

Yun Chang nodded slightly, and not long after, someone came to report again: "Madam, the internal guard has found out according to the clues, the director of the Shangyi Bureau, Yu Nian, is from the same town as the guard."

Fellow countrymen, fellow countrymen again. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly, and thought about it. Yu Nian is the director of the Shangyi Bureau, which is in line with the position of steward and above that the eunuch on duty confessed. When thinking about this person, Yun Shang remembered that someone once told her that he was a fool.

I just don't know if Yu Nian is involved this time. If it is involved, which side is she on?

"Let Qi Ruihai take the jade card from the palace, and take Yu Nian back to the inner prison for strict interrogation. And tell Qi Ruihai, to interrogate Yu Nian, just one word, cheat." Yun Shang replied softly.

Qi Ruihai is a smart man, he interrogated many things just based on Yun Shang's word. Yu Nian confessed, bluntly saying that she killed the guard, and she was only doing things for Concubine Li.

Concubine Li and the guard are not only fellow villagers, but also have an affair. Concubine Li, Yu Nian and the guards are all from the same hometown, and they are not favored in the harem, life is even worse than that of Yu Nian, but the three of them take care of each other in the harem. After coming and going, Concubine Ori had an affair with the guard.

After Mingqian died, Concubine Li was worried that the matter between herself and the guard would be exposed, so she changed her mind.

It just so happened that after the guard heard the wind, he tried his best to run out and asked for help from Concubine Li and Yu Nian. It was inconvenient for Concubine Li to be in the palace, so the guard went straight to Yu Nian. Yu Nian quietly took the opportunity to deliver clothes to Concubine Li, and passed the news to Concubine Li, and Concubine Li gave Yu Nian some benefits, asking her to find ways to kill the guard to silence her.

Yu Nian was worried that it would be unjustifiable for someone to die in the Shangyi Bureau, so he took the guard out on the pretext that Concubine Li wanted to see the guard, tricked him into the Royal Garden and killed him. She just didn't want to be discovered by the eunuch on duty. She thought that the guard's body would be found the next day, but she didn't want to wait another day.

When the matter involved Concubine Li, it was no longer for the internal guard to intervene. After hearing Qi Ruihai report the results of the interrogation one by one, Yunshang ordered Qianzhuo to invite Concubine Li.

When Concubine Li came, she was only wearing plain clothes, without any accessories.

Seeing her dress, Yun Shang understood a little bit in her heart, so she didn't bother to beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Yu Nian has confessed everything, what else do you want to say?"

Concubine Li smiled, her temples seemed to be graying a lot, she shook her head quietly: "I have nothing to say, when I heard the news that Yu Nian was taken away by the internal guard, I knew I couldn't escape, isn't Yu Nian A person who can handle things. That’s right, I asked her to kill Li Nan to silence her. Oh, Li Nan is the guard. However, Mingqian’s death has nothing to do with me. I just saw Mingqian died and panicked. hands and feet."

Yun Chang nodded, now that the matter has come to an end, there is no need for Concubine Li to panic her like this.

Yun Chang looked at Concubine Li lightly, and said: "You are also confused, but I have no way to cover up this matter for you. There are only two things that I have to ask you for proof. Before I replied After the palace, Mrs. Cao once came to me and said that when you handled the affairs of the harem for me, you used my private seal to stamp on blank letter paper, I don't know what your intention is."

When Concubine Li heard what Yun Shang said, a look of doubt flashed in her eyes, she shook her head and said, "I have never done this before, why did Concubine Cao slander me like this? Madam, don't worry, I am already like this now, Naturally, there is no need to lie to the empress. What I said will definitely not be half false."

Yun Chang nodded, and things were pretty much the same as she expected.

"One more thing, that is, are you still in contact with the empress dowager?" Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li didn't understand why Yunshang asked this question, she shook her head and said, "No, since the Empress Dowager left the palace, I haven't contacted her, and I don't know how to contact her."

"Oh?" Yun Chang narrowed her eyes slightly, and her heart became more clear.

Yun Shang nodded lightly: "Okay, I understand. It's just that you ordered Yu Nian to kill people, but you have to be punished. I will order the removal of other palace people in your palace, leaving only one personal waiter. Anyone who enters or exits Xiangyi Palace. I ask the empress dowager to copy the scriptures behind closed doors in Xiangyi Palace, without my palace's order, you are not allowed to leave Xiangyi Palace."

Concubine Li's complexion was a little pale, and she bowed slowly to Yunshang, her voice was low and inaudible: "Thank you, Empress, for not killing me."

Concubine Li saluted, then stood up, staggering a little, her feet seemed a little unsteady, she stabilized her body after a while, took a deep breath, and exited Weiyang Palace.

Qian Liu looked at Concubine Li's back, sighed and said, "It's a pity."

Yun Chang smiled, "After entering this harem, she has no way out."

Yun Chang's eyes flickered slightly, Cao Taipin, it seems that these things are indeed manipulated by her behind the scenes.

The truth about the guard's death was known, but Mingqian's death was still completely clueless. Yun Shang had to come up with a bad plan: "Later, I will tell Cao Taibi and the fifteenth princess to come to Weiyang Palace, and after they leave, order someone to search carefully in their palace to see if they can find the fake private seal. And after a while they arrived at Weiyang Palace, and tried to get their mother and daughter's clothes wet, so I asked them to change clothes in Weiyang Palace. No matter where she hid the fake private seal , I also have to find the things, as long as the things are found and the physical evidence is available, she can't deny it no matter what."

Qian Liu responded softly: "I understand."

As soon as Yunshang finished giving her orders, she left with a light drink: "Your Majesty, the secret guard found out that after the fifteen princesses left the palace, they met the shopkeeper of the same cloth shop, and the shopkeeper often collected some special cloths from all over the place. He came to Jincheng to sell, and within a few days after Princess Fifteen saw him, he went to Yangliu Town. The slaves have already ordered the dark guards to intercept..."
