Chapter 469 The Mystery Is Not Solved (Part One)


    "The Ya n?" Yun Shang suddenly raised her eyes to look at Ning Qian. "You meandy Shu is from


    the Ya n?"


    Ning Qian nodded her head, "yes, she is. The Ya n is located in a remote ce with mountains and


    forests, and it is a very poor area in the state of Xia. That''s why she was sold by her parents to be a


    maid in the pce. Her parents were just ordinary people in the Ya n before, but because of her


    favor by the emperor, they gradually established a prestige in the n. However, it''s somewhat


    strange. Because of Lady Shu, the emperor has taken good care of the Ya n and the Ya n is


    getting better and better. But somehow it is in chaos now. "


    Yun Shang''s heart sank at her words. After a long silence, she asked, "what kind of person do you


    thinkdy Shu is?"


    Ning Qian tilted her head, thought for a while, and answered, "Lady Shu was not in good health. She


    rarely appeared in public. She has only been seen by me three times since I entered the pce. I have


    also curiously asked some old maids aboutdy Shu. They said that she was a very gentle woman.


    Lady Shu used to be the empress'' personal maid. Most of the servants in the empress'' pce were


    more or less arrogant. Lady Shu, however, was an amiable and sensible woman. She treated everyone


    nicely. Even after she becamedy Shu, she was always gentle and polite to the servants and


    concubines. Therefore, even if the empress dislikesdy Shu, Lady Shu has never been cold to anyone


    in the imperial household. And the people all respected her. Even in the most difficult time, the servants


    in the Lady Shu''s pce are all receiving the same treat as the maids in other pces. "


    "A woman like her knows how to endure. If we are friends with her, it will be best. But if we are enemies


    with her, she is very hard to deal with. " Yun Shang let out a small sigh, "but we are not meant to be


    friends due to the situation."


    Yun Shang suppressed the ominous premonition in her heart and smiled bitterly. "I''m afraid the unrest


    of the Ya n is a trap, which is to lure Prince Rui and Lord Hua Guo into it."


    Ning Qian was taken aback at Yun Shang''s words. She didn''t know why Yun Shang suddenly said that.


    She kept silent for a moment, and guessed what Yun Shang was probably thinking about. Then she


    said, "it''s just that, the Ya n didn''t start to riot after your highness came to the state of Xia. They have


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    been restless before his highness came to the state. I remember that the empress mentioned it once


    when we went to the Wei Yang pce to pay respects to each other early in the morning. At that time,


    fulfilling their duty as a member of the court and making the emperor annoyed. When was it? Let me


    think. Oh, I remembered. His majesty went to the state of Ning at that time. It seemed that not long


    after the news of the crown prince''s death came back. "


    Ning Qian frowned and said, "I remember that the empress was quite angry at that time. Lady Shu,


    who rarely got out of her pce, appeared several times when the empress invited us in the morning


    for greetings during that time. I guess she just wanted tough at the empress'' pain. On that day, it


    seemed that the empress had to rely on those senior courtiers for the affairs of the court when his


    majesty wasn''t at the court. The empress suddenly brought up the matter of the Ya n, and got angry


    with Lady Shu, sody Shu didn''t go to her pce in the morning anymore after that. "


    "After the news of the crown prince''s death came back..." Yun Shang couldn''t help but frown. If that


    was the case, the culprit was not supposed to be against Prince Rui. But somehow she felt something


    wrong in her heart.


    After returning to her mansion, Yun Shang thought for a long time and still couldn''t figure out what the


    odd was. She was a little worried that the prince had not sent her a letter since he left for the army.


    After careful consideration, she simply sent a secret guard to the Ya n to search for Prince Rui, and


    she put this matter aside for now.


    Ning Qian got the information and sent a message to her in a short time. She said that no one incited


    Young Lady Liu to be poisoned, but the servant of the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion had admitted the


    poison in person. He even said what poison it was and where he bought it. The shop assistant in the


    pharmacy confirmed this as well. All the evidences were clear. Li Qianmo couldn''t cover it up even if he


    wanted to.


    All the evidences were clear. Yun Shang sneered coldly. She suspected that the evidence was too


    clear to be true. There must be something fishy about this.


    Yun Shang knocked slightly on the armrest of her chair and stood up. "It has nothing to do with Prince


    Rui''s mansion at all, and it''s not convenient for me to show up, but I have to go to the Lord Hua Guo''s


    mansion now. Now the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion and the prince rui''s mansion are on the same team.


    It''s likely that someone wants to attack the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion first to get rid


    of Prince Rui''s biggest helper, since I am in the Jin City, I will never allow such a thing to happen."


    To her surprise, Lady Hua Guo wasn''t anxious at all. She ordered the servants to serve Yun Shang


    some fruit tea in a leisure way and then said with a smile, "The Lord Hua Guo''s mansion haven''t been


    in those disputes for many years. I thought that the spies in the servants have been withdrawn. I didn''t


    expect that there are still some. But it''s good that we got rid of one for now."


    "Grandma, aren''t you feel anxious at all?" Yun Shang asked softly.
