Chapter 377 The Assassin''s Appearance And The Search In The City (Part One)
Yun Shang said with a cold sneer, "gossip really is a fearful thing. They just regarded the man who had
a quarrel with Cangjue Kangning as Prince Jing without even looking at him with their own eyes. Then
they can reasonably me the death of Cangjue Kangning on his highness."
Qian Yin sighed, "but why didn''t his highnesse out to exin?"
"I also want to know why." Yun Shang said indifferently, "if someone dares to set a trap on us, he must
be sure that his highness won''t show up."
But where was his highness right now? Why didn''t he appear? Yun Shang leaned against the bench
and tapped the edge of the bench with her fingers. She frowned and pondered.
Prince Jing had never shown up. His mansion was under close surveince. Since there was nothing to
do, Yun Shang always stayed in the mansion watching books and sleeping. asionally, she talked
with Wang Jinyan who came to visit. To Yun Shang''s surprise, Mrs. Jing had been very busy in the past
few days. She came here only to have a brief conversation with Yun Shang everyday. Yun Shang kept
an eye on what she said, it seemed that Mrs. Jing was trying to find out whether Prince Jing had
contacted her in secret or not.
Yun Shang was surprised and wondered why the grand councilor mansion was so concerned about
this matter.
The crown prince of the state of Xia''s body had already been transferred back to the state of Xia, but
Xia Huanyu was still staying in the imperial city. On the surface, he was only looking for the criminal
who had killed the crown prince of the state of Xia, but he was not very keen on investigating the case.
He hade to the prince''s mansion twice, and Yun Shang was no longer aggressive. She came here
to serve the emperor of the state of Xia with good tea and yed chess with him for a while.
Everything seemed to go smoothly and Yun Shang became more and more anxious when she couldn''t
find any other information. Although she tried to keep calm on the surface.
She would go to the pce to visit her mother from time to time. But mostly she just stayed in the
Jinxiu Pce, while Qian Yin would go around the pce with various reasons to see if she could find
any new information.
"I have sent someone to search for Meng Jieyu''s things in her pce secretly. Since she was dead,
there has been no living person in that pce. Because of the bad luck of her death, her corpse even
disappeared from the pce. Many maids and midwifes had been avoiding her pce, and nothing
had been moved. Under Meng Jieyu''s pillow, there was a letter with the name of Jing Wen, and it
was written with some love words. " Qian Yin sneered and continued, "I also took a nce at the
syringe. It seems to be a lotus bag made by Meng Jieyu recently. The inner side of the bag was
embroidered with the words '' Meng'' and n ". Your highness'' guesses are right. "
Yun Shang nodded her head and said, "have someone keep an eye on Jing Wen. Put all the things
you found in ce and I will deliver them to his Majesty in a couple of days when I go to the pce."
Qian Yin responded promptly. "By the way, I heard that grand councilor Jing mentioned an empty
imperial household in the Jinluan hall a few days ago and asked his majesty to give orders to pick
beauties. his majesty... He had say yes. "
"Yeah, is it so?" Yun Shang sighed, "everyone in the pce is pitiful, so is my father. But my mother is
the most pitiful one."
About ten days had passed. Yun Shang thought to herself, the person who had really killed Prince
Cangjue Kangning must be also looking for Prince Jing. The imperial city was not small, neither big nor
small. Her father and her were also looking for him, and the murderer was also looking for him. Maybe
other people were also looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe Prince Jing was not in

the imperial city now.
She shook her head in a hurry to deny her suspicion. All the Imperial City knew that she fainted and
even her mother was rmed, but he didn''te. The reason why she pretended to faint was to
deceive the outsiders, and also to test him out. He didn''te, so he must know everything about her
situation. He should know that she was just pretending.
He must be with her now.
Yun Shang felt that she was almost driven crazy by her own thoughts.
Jing Wen didn''t expect that someone would suspect him so soon, so he acted as usual and didn''t
cover it up. There was no obstacle in investigating him at all.
Although he was the son of the grand Councilor and was in charge of a lot of business, the more
wealthy he was, the more careful he was about money. Especially someone like Jing Kui, who held
power, he was afraid of being seized by others, as if treading on thin ice. Therefore, every spending in
the grand councilor''s mansion was clearly written on the ount. Yun Shang had tried every means to
bribe the steward in charge of the ount book. In the past few months, Jing Wen had bought
several money, with a number of jewelry on it.
Yun Shang had asked someone to inquire about everyone Jing Wen had seen in recent months.
She carefullybed her information into a pamphlet, and to her surprise, she found Prince Jing
among them.
Yun Shang frowned and wondered, ''why did Jing Wen meet Prince Jing?'' Judging from the date, it
should be not long after she and Prince Jing returned to the imperial city.
Yun Shang called the Butler in a hurry to inquire about this matter. The Butler thought for a moment
and said, "that day, his highness did go out. I remember that he rarely went out since he was injured
and went back to his mansion. Your highness should have been in the pce at that time, and the
grand councilor''s mansion sent him an invitation, in which it wrote grand councilor Jing''s invitation."
