Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 985

"Keep following them. His Former Majesty has spent more than thirty years in the Palace, and he must've guessed that someone is following him. There is something fishy about this matter. He intentionally goes northwest, which is very likely to mislead us, and then he will find a way to get rid of our people." Yun Shang raised her eyes and ordered softly.

"Yes." Qian Zhuo answered. She looked at Yun Shang up and down and then opened her mouth slightly. "Your Majesty, the weather is good today. Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Yun Shang felt a little strange. She looked at Qian Zhuo and said with a smile, "Judging from your look, I can tell that it is premeditated. Tell me, what happened?"

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue and couldn't help laughing. "I can't hide it from you, your majesty. It was his majesty who asked me to persuade you to go out for a walk. He said that the brazier in this room is burning all day long. Although the window is occasionally opened for some fresh air, it's still a little stuffy. Your majesty has just recovered, so you should walk more outside."

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and said, "Why didn't you speak it out directly? I thought you were hiding something from me. I was wondering if you had a crush on some man and felt embarrassed to tell me."

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo blushed. She stamped her feet and said, "Your majesty, you always make fun of me."

Yun Shang smiled, stood up and said, "Then let's go out for a walk." When she was about to go out, she saw herself in a red dress in the bronze mirror, and her hair was just casually tied up.

She followed the comfortable way in the bedroom, but it was not appropriate to go out in this way. Yun Shang turned to Qian Zhuo and said, "Make my hair into a bun.

Yun Shang sat down in front of the bronze mirror. Qian Zhuo walked to Yun Shang and made a bun for her. "What kind of hair ornament do you want?"

"It's up to you." Yun Shang looked up at the person in her mirror and replied casually.

Qian Zhuo nodded, opened the jewelry box, and said softly, "Then I'll choose the phoenix shaped hairpin that her former majesty gave you before. The hairpin is exquisite and lifelike. It looks good on you. And I'll also choose another one."

Hearing this, Yun Shang remembered that Hua Ling had indeed given her a phoenix shaped hairpin with a note in it. Thinking of this, Yun Shang nodded, "One hairpin is enough."

Qian Zhuo replied and looked through the jewelry box for a long time. Then she frowned and asked, "Eh, why is the hairpin missing? I saw it in the jewelry box when I do a makeup for your majesty before the New Year's Eve."

"Missing?" Yun Shang frowned, "How could it be missing from the inner hall?"

Qian Zhuo was also a little strange. "And now all the things that your majesty is going to come into contact with are handled by three people, including me, Pei Lan and the Qing Hao. Besides, they have never been handled by anyone else. How could it be..."

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said, "There are many secret guards in and out of Weiyang Palace. Who can steal a hairpin from the jewelry box without being noticed? Are there anything else missing? "

Qian Zhuo poured out all the things in the coffin and checked them carefully. Then she shook her head and said, "Only the hairpin is missing."

Yun Shang was even more puzzled. Almost all things in her jewelry box are valuable. Why did the one only steal that hairpin? Besides, the hairpin was with a pattern of a phoenix spreading its wings, and the phoenix was the symbol of the Empress. Even if someone took it, she didn't dare to wear it easily.

Qian Zhuo bit her lips and kept silent for a long time. Then she said, "I'll check who has entered the bedroom recently."

It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that after Yun Shang took back the Phoenix shaped hairpin, she only used it once. After she took back the hairpin from Empress Hua, Luo Qingyan saw it and took the hairpin for her in person. Then he found the note hidden in Hua Ling's hairpin by accident.

Then, the hairpin...

Yun Shang frowned and thought about it carefully. She remembered that after reading the note that day, she put it back into the hairpin and put it beside the pillow. Why did Qian Zhuo say that she had seen it in the jewelry box?

"I remember that I wore the hairpin on the day I took it back, and then put it beside the pillow. Did you put it in the jewelry box?" Yun Shang raised her head and asked in a soft voice.

After a short pause, Qian Zhuo shook her head and said, "No, it's not me, but I saw the hairpin in the jewelry box. Did sister Qin Yi see it when she make the bed and put it in the jewelry box?" Yun Shang didn't respond, but asked another question, "The hairpin was in a box when I took it from Empress Hua. No one else has seen it. Who told you that the hairpin was given to me by Empress Hua? "

Qian Zhuo tilted her head and thought for a while. Then she said, "It was Ban Xia."

"Ban Xia?" Yun Shang frowned. She was the maid who was found dead in the side hall. Yun Shang felt that her death should be done by Xia Huanyu.

Yun Shang lifted the bead curtain and walked out. She saw a woman sitting on the left chair in the main hall. The lady was well maintained and looked just like a 20-year-old woman with delicate makeup, clothes and jewelry.

Seeing Yun Shang come out, Lady Li quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty."

Yun Shang hurried to step forward and held her up. She smiled and said, "Don't be so courteous, Lady Li. By the way, I should call you mother."

Lady Li hurriedly said, "I'm flattered."

Yun Shang smiled, walked to a chair and sat down. Then she looked up at Lady Li with a smile, "I've heard that you have come to Weiyang Palace several times, but I was just too busy."

Lady Li hurriedly said, "It's all my fault."

Yun Shang just smiled quietly and didn't respond. She was wondering what Lady Li came here for. Lady Li used to be just a concubine in the imperial household, but after Hua Ling entered the palace, she was conferred the title of "Xian". But not long after, Xia Huanyu gave up the throne.

Seeing that Yun Shang didn't say anything, Lady Li hesitated and said, "I heard that His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty went out on a trip..."

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled. She didn't believe that Lady Li didn't know the exact news. Although the news that Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling went out of the palace hadn't been spread widely, they didn't hide it. The women who had stayed in the palace, especially those who had a low rank, must be very sensitive to these news. "Yes, it is true."

Hearing this, Lady Li's face changed. She quickly said, "Well, how could it be like this? Her Former Majesty asked me to investigate something. Now that she is out of the palace, who should I report to? " Hearing Lady Li's words, Yun Shang had almost guessed her plan. It seemed that she wanted to find a suitable backer in the imperial household, so she came to her.
