Chapter 1051 A Well-organized Scheme (Part One)

"The fifteenth Princess has been out of the palace recently?" Yun Shang looked sideways at Qian Zhuo with confusion in her eyes.

Qian Zhuo nodded and said gently, "On the first and fifteenth of the lunar new year, the fifteenth Princess would go out of the palace to pray in the temples outside the city. Because she is a princess, the guards of the palace generally let her pass."

"To pray in the temple on the days of the first and the fifteenth of the lunar new year? Huh... " Yun Shang smiled, but her eyes were cold, "She doesn't seem to be that kind of persons who have such a habit. Send someone to the palace gate to inquire about it. Try to find out whether she has always had this habit, or she has just developed it recently."

Qian Zhuo nodded in a hurry. Yun Shang looked at Qian Zhuo and said indifferently, "I've investigated the two palaces and tried to find if there were any servants who have been out of the palace recently. I forgot about the fifteenth Princess. Since the fifteenth Princess could freely enter and leave the court, it was possible that Cao Shanxiu was sending messages to the outside through the fifteenth Princess. To pray is most likely an excuse for her. What a coincidence it was when she just went out of the Imperial Palace and met the accident that Ming Qian's brother was being chased by the people from the gambling shop. "

However, there was one thing that Yun Shang didn't understand.

Qian Liu answered, lifted the bead curtain and walked in.

Yun Shang looked up and saw it was Qian Liu. She lowered her head again watching a private seal in her hand. Seeing this, Qian Liu kept silent for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the case of Lady Li?"

Yun Shang nodded slightly and put the piece back into her sleeve with a smile. She said softly, "There is one key point that I haven't figured out. Cao Shanxiu has so many schemes just to help Xia Houjing, but why did she have to frame Lady Li to save Xia Houjing? Lady Li brings no harm to Cao Shanxiu."

Qian Liu thought for a while and said softly, "I think it's possible that Lady Cao wants to do something, but she's afraid of being discovered by you, so she uses this method to distract your attention first and let you focus on investigating Lady Li, so that she can take the opportunity to do what she wants to do."
