Chapter 497 The Incident At The Funeral (Part Two)


    The seventh Prince answered promptly. "Let him stay in the pce for now. After he recovers, we''ll


    make another n."


    "What do you think?" Hearing that, Xia Huanyu raised his eyes to look at the officers in the court. All


    the people looked at each other in confusion. After a short while, half of the people stepped out and


    knelt down behind the seventh prince. "I think what the seventh prince said is very reasonable."


    After a short silence, Xia Huanyu called Liu Wenan over and said, "issue an imperial edict. Send some


    people to the imperial tomb to take the little kid back to the pce."


    Yun Shang smiled when she heard the news, "that''s a good idea. After all, the little kid is the son of the


    emperor will be displeased. If the seventh prince told the emperor what he said today, his Majesty


    would be impressed with his generosity. He can hit two birds with one stone, because he can also have

    a good reputation in the court. "


    The corpse of the fake Lady Rui will have to be buried after seven days'' rest in Prince Rui''s mansion''s


    mansion. Although she was the wife of the prince, Lady Rui could not be buried in the imperial tomb, so


    Xia Huanyu ordered to choose a ce on a mountain to the east of the imperial tomb to bury her.


    On the day of the funeral, Yun Shang took Qian Yin with her and went out of the Li mansion with Li


    Qianmo. Outside the Prince Rui''s mansion, the soldiers waiting for the funeral were all dressed in in


    clothes. Soon the carriage with the coffin came out of the mansion. The Butler observed respectfully,


    holding the memorial tablet of Lady Rui in his hands. The ghost devouring g was at the front,


    followed by the Butler who was holding the memorial tablet of Yun Shang. Then it was followed by


    many people who were crying, most of whom were the servants of the Prince Rui''s mansion. They


    were also the servants of the royal family, and followed by a carriage carrying the coffin. Behind the


    carriage, there were long teams of soldiers who were protecting the carriage.


    The ceremony was rather grand. Wherever Yun Shang passed, there was a crowd of people, and


    some of them were whispering about who was in the coffin. Yun Shang followed them as they moved


    through the crowd.


    "Master, there are many skillful killers among the crowd." The shadow guard whispered to her as he


    approached Yun Shang.


    Yun Shang nodded her head. She had expected that as Lady Shu was waiting for her to appear, she


    must have known, that today would be a good day, and she would certainly be fully prepared.


    It was about three days from the Jin city to the imperial tomb. The procession left the city slowly, and


    there were fewer and fewer people following it. But there were still many people following it, and most


    of them were arranged by Yun Shang.


    Soon after the group of people left the Imperial City, they walked into a small valley with hillside at both


    sides, neither too high nor too high. Yun Shang was about to stop here, and she decided to turn around


    to go back to the Jin City.


    At this time, two stain of bright red figures suddenly flew down from both sides of the hill, followed by


    over a hundred men in ck.


    "Assassins! Assassins!" All of a sudden, screaming and exmations burst out of the team, and the


    crowds were in a panic as well. Yun Shang lifted her eyes to look at the two persons in red in the front


    and suddenly frowned.


    Before Yun Shang could react, themon people around her who were walking with the group


    of people drew out their swords, and rushed towards the man in ck who hade down from the


    mountain.


    The horse with the carriage seemed to be frightened as well. It raised its leg and let out two whine


    sounds, and then began to rush into the crowd. Everyone hurriedly dodged. Seeing this, Yun Shang


    smiled, holding the silver needle in her hand, and shot it toward the horse. The horse went even


    crazier, crashing everywhere. The carriage swayed left and right, with a loud bang, it fell to the ground.


    The coffin also fell down from the carriage.


    The coffin didn''t seem to be nailed too tight. With a heavy fall, the lid was torn off. Yun Shang''s eyes fell


    on the coffin, and she suddenly frowned. The coffin was empty.


    Why was the coffin empty?


    Yun Shang''s mind raced in all kinds of thoughts. Many people around had seen the scene of the coffin


    and began to scream again. The two men in red shouted, "the coffin is empty. Withdraw!" After that,


    they jumped to the top of the hill quickly and after that, they was nowhere to be found.


    The Butler had already regained hisposure. He shouted in a hurry, "Her highness is missing! Her


    highness is missing!" The crowd was so noisy that no one could hear his voice clearly. Yun Shang


    nced at him and left with Li Qianmo and Qian Yin in chaos.


    "Why is the coffin empty?" Qian Yin mumbled to herself, "it''s just a fake body. Howe it was gone at


    funeral?"


    Yun Shang was also confused by this. After a long time of silence, she said, "I''ll ask the butler secretly.


    Ask the secret guards to find out where they are."


    Qian Yin looked up at Yun Shang and knew who she meant by ''they''. She nodded her head and left to


    deliver a message. Before dusk, the secret guards had found the ce. Yun Shang dressed up in a


    hurry and went to the inn the secret guards mentioned. She went to the door and knocked at it.


    After a long time, the door was opened, and a woman''s face came out. She looked at Yun Shang


    curiously, "who are you?" Yun Shang heard faintly the sound of pulling out a sword. She smiled and


    said, "it''s me. Why don''t you invite me in, Yan''er?"
