Chapter 929 It Worked

Yun Shang had seen him the day when she moved into Weiyang Palace. When she opened the window, she saw several servants cleaning the yard. A eunuch carrying a bucket stumbled over a branch on the ground. He stumbled and spilled out most of the water in the bucket.

As a result, he was scolded by a maid in cyan for a long time. She saw the eunuch just stood there, bowed his head and said nothing. Several servants watched them, but no one helped him.

At that time, she thought that the Imperial Palace was probably the darkest place in the world as most people there were snobbish and they always bullied the good and feared the bad. At that time, she even thought of asking the eunuch to serve around her, but she gave up because she was afraid of getting into trouble as she was new there and hadn't figured out the situation.

"You said you didn't see him, but why did you know he is that person?" Yun Shang asked softly.

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "We delivered the message Your Majesty ordered to Her Former Majesty when we sent soup to Taiji Palace. Her Former Majesty said that His Former Majesty was meeting that person in the study. But she thought it would be inappropriate for her to go to the study rashly today as she had never disturbed him before. I asked her if she had ever seen the face of the man His Majesty had met. Then Her Former Majesty drew a portrait for us. I recognized him at a glance of the portrait."

Saying this, Qin Yi handed the portrait to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang took it over, unrolled it, and confirmed it was indeed that eunuch. She sneered in her heart and curled up her lips, "It's really him."

"What are you going to deal with him, Your Majesty?" Qin Yi asked softly.

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to kill him for the time being, and it's useless to kill him. Even if we kill him, Xia Huanyu will send another one. We'd better..."

Yun Shang smiled, "We'd better put him around me and keep him within our sight. That is the best way."

Yun Shang handed the portrait to Qin Yi, "Dispose of it. Don't let anyone find out."

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the window. It was windy outside. The trees in the yard rustled and shivered in the wind, many leaves falling down on the ground.

Some servants in charge of cleaning was sweeping the yard with a broom, but that eunuch was not there. Yun Shang thought he might've not come back from Taihe Palace.

Not long after, he came in from outside. As soon as seeing him, a eunuch who was cleaning the yard shouted at him and picked up the broom to hit him. The eunuch took two steps back and stumbled.

Yun Shang's eyes became colder. He was really good at acting. It was a pity that he didn't go to perform on stage.

Yun Shang turned around and said, "Let's go out to have a look." Saying this, she stepped out of the room.

When they

. Seeing Yun Shang and Hua'er sitting in the hall, she looked around for a long while before opening her mouth and saying something to Yun Shang in silence.

Seeing this, Yun Shang and Hua'er couldn't help laughing. "Well, it's done."

Qian Yin patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I am scared me to death. Your Majesty, did I behave well this morning?"

Yun Shang was amused by her. "Well, you did a good job. You can even go to perform in the theater. I'll send someone to ask if they are short of actress."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo widened her eyes. "Now you are just teasing me, Your Majesty."

The three of them burst into laughter. After a long time, they finally stopped laughing. Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo and Hua'er, with a smile on her face. "The show has officially started from now on. Don't make him suspicious, and don't let him have the chance to be alone. I've asked Qin Yi to arrange him into Qing Hao's room so that the Qinghao can keep an eye on him."

Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Well, how is it going the investigation of the case of Lady Liu?"

Qian Yin answered seriously, "There is no special clue at present. All the family members of the four midwives were killed, and the servents who served Lady Liu had been dismissed after reaching the certain age. I've ordered the secret guards to continue the investigation."

Yun Shang nodded, but her doubts deepened. "The servants who used to serve in the Liu mansion should also been investigated..."

Thinking of that Luo Qingyan had mentioned the hometown of the Liu clan, she said gently, "The Liu family come from a place called Yang Liu Town. Send someone there to investigate when and how Liu Yinfeng was adopted by Liu Jin. In that kind of small town, there is always no big secret hidden between the neighbors. It could be found out after inquiring around."
