Chapter 593 Clues

The Empress stared at Yun Shang. After a long time of silence, she asked, "How do you know Prince Rui and His Majesty were kidnapped by the same person?"

Yun Shang meditated for a while and said, "I also grew up in the Imperial Palace, so I know a lot about the things in the palace. This purpose of abducting an emperor is most likely for the throne. The Emperor was captured, then His highness disappeared. And they all relate to the throne, so it must be done by one person. "

Since Yun Shang accidentally slipped that she knew Xia Huanyu has been missing, she said every word after careful consideration to avoid showing her real strength. She spoke with a girlish charm, being a gentle and spoiled royal princess.

The Empress kept her eyes fixed on the Empress. After a while, she said, "The Ministry of Justice will investigate. You don't need to worry about it, Lady Rui."

Ministry of Justice? Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, Liu Yinfeng cut in. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave the matter up to the Ministry of Justice. If the matter of Prince Rui really has something to do with His Majesty's missing, the rumor will get around soon."

"Really?" The Empress then looked at Liu Yinfeng with a bit of contemplation. "Then who do you think could investigate it?"

Liu Yingfeng remained silent for a while and said, "if the Empress and Lady Rui don't mind, I'll give it a try."

No one spoke in the hall. After a long time, the Empress said calmly, "Since you take the initiative to ask for the task, I'll let you do it." After that, the Empress waved at them and said, "Go to the Meeting Hall and discuss it. I will take care of everything here. If you stay here for a long time, everyone will be suspicious."

They exchange a look, bowed and left. Just as they opened the door and walked out of the side hall of the Taiji Palace, they saw a woman in a silver purple overcoat coming around the corner. Seeing them, the woman paused and smiled awkwardly. "Your Highness, Your Lordships, I didn't expect you were h

g was a little stunned. "What's wrong with the Mansion of the Liu clan?"

Yun Shang nodded and said directly, "My secret guard has found out today's shopping list of Mansion of the Liu clan contained a lot more items than usual. There are much more food ingredients including mandarin fish, sour bamboo shoots, bamboo fungus and guinea fowl and so on. And there are some new clothes for both men and women, which are all made of the best cloth. "

Liu Yinfeng paused for a while and said, "Isn't it normal? After all there are also several hundred people in my mansion."

Yun Shang shook her head. "Mr. Liu, you might not know it well as you never manage the household affairs. Usually, the daily purchase in a mansion like yours has a fixed amount. If there is any change, it should be reported to the hostess of the mansion. Given the relatively fixed number of people in the mansion, even if there are some changes, the total amount of purchased goods is always stable. It is rarely that so many more things are needed all of a sudden. Besides, these clothes new purchased are all winter clothes, but the servant in your mansion has already brought winter clothes not long ago... And the ingredients I said just now... "

Yun Shang lifted her eyes to look at Liu Yinfeng, "Mr. Liu, you goes to the Imperial Palace frequently and you must know those are all His Majesty's favorites..."
