Chapter 740 Deeper Investigation

Qin Yi responded, and then took out the embroidery support from the adjoining cubicle. Cai Yi was next to her. She chuckled, "Qin Yi, do you want to embroider something? What is it? "

Qin Yi looked at the embroidery support in her hand and said with a smile, "As her highness is sleeping, I can embroider some small bellybands, shoes and so on for her unborn baby."

Cai Yi nodded with a smile, "I see."

Qin Yi entered the inner hall with the embroidery support. She found the window was still open, and that Yun Shang was lying on the couch under the window. Fearing that Yun Shang would catch a cold in the wind, she quickly walked to the window to close it. There, she noticed Cai Yi walking towards the outer hall.

Feeling that someone was looking at her, Cai Yi turned her head and looked at the direction of the bedroom. Qin Yi quickly lowered her body and only raised her head slightly to look outside. She found Cai Yi had turned around and walked out of the hall. So Qin Yi stood up and closed the window.

"Your Highness, Cai Yi has gone." Qin Yi whispered.

Yun Shang was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. She slowly opened her eyes and sneered, "Did you send someone to follow her?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang, saying. "This is the message from the secret guard outside the palace. The information about Cai Yi, Qi Ruihai and Wen Xiangfu is all in it."

Yun Shang unfolded the handkerchief, which was densely written with words. Yun Shang read it carefully for a long time before she threw it away. The handkerchief then fell on the charcoal pot, and a fire suddenly sprang up on it. After a while, the handkerchief was burned.

Yun Shang leaned against the couch, slowly closed her eyes, and murmured, "I see."

Qin Yi was a little surprised to see Yun Shang's reaction after reading the message handkerchief, so she quickly asked in a low voice, "Your highness, do you have any new clue?"

Yun Shang smiled coldly, "I have more than just some clues. I know everything about Lady Liu's case."

Qin Yi was stunned. She looked at Yun Shang and asked, "Including the traces of Qian Zhuo?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, including clues about the traces of Qian Zhuo."

Qin Yi wanted to ask Yun Shang what was going on, but seeing Yun Shang's tired face, she had to stand quietly aside and pour a cup of tea for her instead.

Yun Shang picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a long time, she said slowly, "Cai Yi was the leader of Lady Liu's murder. Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu were the perpetrators."

Qin Yi was dumfounded. Even though Yun Shang had suspected it on the second day, and had ordered people to keep an eye on Cai Yi, Qin Yi didn't believe that she was the murderer. She just thought that Cai Yi was unhappy because she was suddenly transferred to the Zhaoxia Palace from the Taiji Palace. Although Cai Yi seemed to look down upon many people, she was respectful to Yun Shang.

Moreover, she was the servant of Xia Huanyu. Qin Yi couldn't understand why she framed Qian Zhuo and Yun Shang this way.

Thinking that Yun Shang was convinced by the message from the handkerchief that Cai Yi wa

That day, Cai Yi looked a little depressed after she went out of the Neishi Bureau. Yun Shang asked her about it. She answered that it was because she knew someone among the dead guards.

If Cai Yi, Xiang Wen or Xiang Fu asked to send something to Qian Zhuo in Yun Shang's name, it wouldn't be difficult for them to enter the Neishi Bureau prison.

Besides, there weren't many people guarding there at night, so it was a good chance to take action.

Since that day she came back from the Neishi Bureau prison, Yun Shang had been thinking about these two questions.

One, two of the four prison guards' wounds were in the front, and the other two were behind. There was no trace of fighting around them. How could this happen?

It took Yun Shang a long time to figure it out. This meant that the murder should be performed by at least two people, and they were at least acquainted with the guards. The four guards were patrolling the cell. At that time, the murderers should be in the same place, and they should be walking in the middle. While speaking, the two people turned around together and killed the two guards who were walking behind. Then they turned around quickly and killed the two people walking in the front from behind.

The second question was the lock. Although Yun Shang only took a look at it that day, she found that the lock was open although it was cut off by a sharp blade. Since the lock was open, why did she split it open?

Yun Shang thought that they probably came in the name of Yun Shang and took the key from the guards to visit Qian Zhuo. Later, when she opened the door, she remembered that if she took Qian Zhuo away like this, it would arouse others' suspicion, so she split the lock open again.

It was raining that day and night, but it helped them wash away all the traces.

"Then where is Qian Zhuo now?" Qin Yi asked eagerly.

Yun Shang looked up and smiled, "I know there is no guard in a place. Even the eunuchs will most likely ignore that place, but there is indeed a special place for Cai Yi."

Yun Shang's eyes lit up and she said thoughtfully, "That's Lady Yun's Yunqi Palace."
