Chapter 724 The Missing Jewelry Box

Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat and she hurried into the mansion. But the court dress she wore was so complicated that she was almost tripped over by it. Regardless of the presence of Xia Huanyu and the others, Yun Shang lifted her dress and ran into the mansion in a hurry.

The whole mansion was filled with a dead silence. From the gate to the inside, through garden house, to the long corridor by the lake, there were some servants' corpses scattered. Yun Shang's eyes swept across the dead bodies and walked faster and faster.

"Slow down, Your Highness. Be careful." Seeing this, Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo were also in a panic, but when they saw Yun Shang running desperately, they were also shocked. Qian Yin hurriedly used Qinggong to catch up with Yun Shang and grabbed her arm.

"Creak..." A strange voice came from afar, which was particularly clear in the silent Prince Rui's mansion. Yun Shang halted and looked up in the direction of the sound.

Boom... An even louder sound was heard. With light of the moon the lanterns along the corridor, Yun Shang saw a yard in the distance collapse with a loud bang.

That is.. The yard where she and Luo Qingyan lived.

Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the yard, and her eyes lit up in the night.

Xia Huanyu, who followed in, and a group of Ministers behind him had caught up. Seeing that Yun Shang stood still, they hurried forward. Xia Huanyu glanced at Yun Shang and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yun Shang didn't say anything, but Qin Yi said softly, "Just now, we saw the courtyard where Her Highness and His Highness live collapsed."

A hint of gloom flashed through Xia Huanyu's eyes. He waved to the guards and ordered, "Take someone to check."

The imperial guards quickly ran towards the direction pointed by Qin Yi. Standing in front of Yun Shang, Xia Huanyu turned to her and asked, "Is Prince Rui in the yard?"

Yun Shang's voice trembled uncontrollably. "Yes, His Highness has been resting in that yard since he was poisoned."

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu nodded slightly and walked towards the courtyard.

It was not until all the ministers who came with Xia Huanyu passed by Yun Shang that she looked up at Qin Yi and said, "Qin Yi, help me. My legs are too weak to make a move." Her voice was neither loud nor low, but Xia Huanyu who was walking in the front, could hear it faintly.

Qin Yi was stunned. She didn't expect that Yun Shang stood still for this reason. She quickly stepped up to Yun Shang and held her. Yun Shang slowly turned around and sat down by the corridor.

After everyone walked towards the yard, Yun Shang slowly lowered her head, moved her feet a little, bent down and picked up something from the ground.

Qin Yi and Qian Yin all looked at the thing in Yun Shang's hand. It was a dark red ribbon with a blue bow at the bottom.

Qin Yi's eyes widened, "Isn't this..."

Yun Shang calmly put the thing into her sleeve and slowly stood up before she a

ound before saying, "There are imperial guards around, but they are fifty feet away from us and can't hear us."

Yun Shang nodded and took out the silk ribbon from her sleeve.

Qian Yin was confused. She looked at the silk ribbon for a long time and asked softly, "Your Highness, what's this?"

Yun Shang raised her head and smiled coldly, "It's from the Palace, something eunuchs wear on their waist. From the color, this one should belong to some eunuch who attends to His Majesty."

Qian Yin was taken aback. "Belong to His Majesty's servant? Why is it here? "

"That's what I want to know." Yun Shang put the thing aside and looked at the blaze of the lamp with a bit of confusion in her eyes. She murmured, "No wood oil, no worry. His highness is fine."

Qin Yi and Qian Yin both looked at Yun Shang, wondering why Yunshang was so sure.

After a long time, Yun Shang said indifferently, "From the moment we entered the mansion, I haven't seen any familiar face of the corpses littered in the mansion. They were all not our people. Secondly, that male corpse is definitely not His Highness. Since His Highness began to recuperate in the name of poisoning, he had mostly worn ordinary clothes, and he doesn't like to wear a jade pendant on his waist. Even if he wears, he will put it in his sleeves. Besides... "

Yun Shang's lips curled into a smile. "I checked the room just now and found almost everything was unmoved. But one thing is missing. I've been looking for it in the room for a long time, but I still can't find it. "

"What is it?" Qin Yi looked up at Yun Shang in surprise.

Yun Shang looked at Qin Yi, "Something you use every day."

Qin Yi thought about it for a while, and a light flashed in her eyes. "I see. It's...the jewelry box."

Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "Yes, the jewelry box." Although it is made of wood, if it is burned, the jewelries inside should've been fine. But I haven't seen any of them on the ground."
