Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 950

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan's face changed. He stood up and walked quickly to the blue porcelain vase. He pushed the vase hard and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Watch out!" Yun Shang stood up in a hurry and pulled Luo Qingyan behind her. She saw water flowing from the vase, but it was not as black as ink as Yun Shang saw in the afternoon. It seemed to be clean water.

Yun Shang's eyes widened. She picked up a plum blossom from the ground. The part at the bottom of the plum blossom that was soaked in water didn't change at all, which was completely different from what Yun Shang had seen. Yun Shang checked carefully at the plum blossoms scattered on the ground. The one was not there that she used to pull out the brazier in the afternoon.

Yun Shang threw the plum blossoms on the ground and said indifferently, "These plum blossoms have been replaced."

Liu Wenan lifted the door curtain and looked into the room. Surprised, he asked, "What happened?"

Yun Shang said indifferently, "It's okay. I broke the vase by accident. Ask someone to clean them up."

Liu Wenan replied. Then he turned around and called several servants in. They cleaned up the pieces of the blue porcelain vase and the water on the ground, as well as the plum blossoms.

Yun Shang looked at the wet ground quietly and said, "Check who changed the plum blossoms in this room when I left the Weiyang Palace this afternoon and went to the Neishi Bureau.

Qin Yi answered in a low voice. Yun Shang continued, "This afternoon, Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo were not here. I was bored after reading, so I went to the vase and appreciated the plum blossoms. I noticed a beautiful plum blossom, I took it out and smelled it. But I found that the bottom of the plum blossom seemed to be covered with some black ink like water. It looked quite strange. I wanted to ask someone to investigate about it, but a guard came to report me something at that time, so I put the plum blossom back into the vase. After leaving the inner hall, I went to the Neishi Bureau. In such a short time, the water and plum blossoms in the vase were changed."

Luo Qingyan clenched his fists in his sleeves and said gently, "Don't worry. As long as he used to enter the inner hall, I can find him out and dispose of him."

Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, "Forget it. Even if we find it out, it's useless. Now we don't have evidence and we can do nothing. Anyway, I was too careless. I'll be more careful in the future."

She still underestimated the schemes in the palace. Previously, she had always felt that Luo Qingyan's imperial household was not as complicated as Xia Huanyu's, and thus those fights in the imperial household should have nothing to do with her. But she didn't expect that the imperial household was not only competing for love, but also for status.

She must have behaved too gentle and casual in the palace before, which made people think that she was easy to be bullied. In this palace, obedient and gentle-minded people really couldn't live on.

Yun Shang was lost in thinking. The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, but a ruthless light flashed through her eyes. After a moment's silence, she raised her head and said to Qin Yi, "I've been in the palace for a long time. I haven't seen any other stewards except the ones in the Neishi Bureau and the Imperial Household Department. The new year is coming. I still have a lot of things to do and need your help. Send someone to inform them to come to the Weiyang Palace at 5 am tomorrow.

"5 am?" Qin Yi was surprised and looked at Yun Shang, because that was just the morning court time. According to Qin Yi's understanding of Yun Shang, she was afraid that Yun Shang was still sleeping at that time.

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's the time."

Luo Qingyan reached out to hold Yun Shang's hand, "It's so early. Thank you, your majesty."

Yun Shang smiled and squinted, with a bit of self-confidence in her eyes. "Not at all. Not at all."

It was the first time for the new Empress to gather all the stewards here in such a grand manner. Besides, they didn't dare to neglect what had happened to Li Fuhua these days. As expected, they stood in front of the main hall of the Weiyang Palace in the early morning. However, except for Luo Qingyan who got up early and went to the court, no one saw Yun Shang coming out of the inner hall after 5 am.

Outside the palace, the several stewards looked at each other, with impatience in their eyes. They could roughly see that the new the Empress wanted to give them a head-on blow.

All of them had been in the inner palace for decades, so they were not afraid of these. They even whispered, "If it's just asking us to wait, then the new the Empress's means are too low-level. We have been servants for decades, and all of us have come over until now." There was a trace of contempt in their eyes. They stood still and did not move at all.

Qi Ruihai stood aside with his head down, without saying a word.

Someone pointed at him and said, "I heard that Master Li was locked up in the prison? Master Qi and Master Li have been friends for decades. Have you taken care of him?"

The guard lowered his head in fear. Yun Shang stood up and said to Qi Ruihai, "Master Qi, the Neishi Bureau is your place. If such a thing happens in your place, you'd better go back with me to see what happened."

After saying that, Yun Shang paused and looked at the other people standing beside Qi Ruihai. She thought for a moment and said, "The palace banquet on New Year's Eve is of great importance. It's my first time to take over it, and many things are not clear yet. So I called you here today. However, this sudden incident has delayed the work here. Well, you can go with us. On the way, we can also talk about what to do with the imperial banquet."

Although the stewards were quite disdainful of Yun Shang, she was the the Empress after all. They couldn't go against her openly, so they quickly agreed and followed Yun Shang out of the Weiyang Palace.

The palanquin was already prepared. Yun Shang got on it, and everyone followed behind quietly.

Although Yun Shang had asked them to discuss about the imperial banquet on the way, she didn't say a word along the way. When they arrived at the Neishi Bureau, Yun Shang came down from the palanquin and saw that the door of the Neishi Bureau was in a mess.

After entering Neishi Bureau, she found that it was even more embarrassing. Because of the fierce battle just now, many things that could be destroyed in the Neishi Bureau had been destroyed, and there were still many people lying on the ground wearing the palace's clothes.

"Ah..." Screams came from the several stewards behind her from time to time. Yun Shang smiled coldly and thought to herself, 'Everyone in the palace is really good at acting. These stewardss must have climbed to their current position by stepping on the bodies of many people. How could they be afraid of these?'

"The Neishi Bureau keep the files of all the people in the palace. Yesterday, no one broke through the guards of the outer palace, so they must be the people from the inner palace. Master Qi, it's your duty to find out who these people are. How dare they rob the Neishi Bureau? " Yun Shang snorted and saw a maid among the dead bodies.

Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the maid and walked over. The maid lay on her front on the ground and so her face was invisible. Yun Shang ordered the guards to turn her over. To everyone's surprise, the dead woman looked exactly like Qin Yi.
