Chapter 499 A Friend Came From Afar (Part Two)
As Wang Jinyan and Wang Jinhuan arrived, Yun Shang was very happy to see two familiar faces in this
almost strange ce of the state of Xia. So she stayed at the Inn and chatted with Wang Jinyan for a
whole night. The next morning, she put on the mask and prepared to go back to Li mansion.
"Now that we are in the state of Xia, we can make a good show of our talents by taking advantage of
this. I have also climbed a decent position in the state of Ning because of my father. So I would like to
go to the imperial pce as the envoy of the state of Ning and question Xia Huanyu why the princess
of the state of Ning died just in three months after she arrived in the state of Xia. " Before leaving,
Wang Jinhuan said to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang kept silent for a while. She didn''t think it would be of much use to her, but they people
in the State of Xia had forgotten she had a special identity as well, along with Lady Rui. It would be nice
if Wang Jinhuan could help them to remember that she was still a princess in the
state of Ning better.
"Well, that''s good. I have a token from my father. It will be more persuasive if you take it with you to the
pce." After a pause, she continued, "when will you go? Take me with you. "
Wang Jinhuan nodded. Yun Shang set a time before she left the inn.
Yun Shang was talking with Wang Jinyan during the night. When she returned to Li mansion, she felt
sleepy and was about to lie down for sleep when Qian Yin walked over. "I have got in touch with the
butler. He told me that the dead body of the fake Lady Rui was suddenly missing during thest night of
the funeral. The Butler reported to his majesty that his majesty ordered him to carry the empty coffin
directly into the funeral, but he didn''t expect that something would happen at the funeral. What
happened yesterday has already provoked much discussion among people. It''s said thatdy Rui died
in a odd way and her corpse has changed. "
"Corpse change?" Yun Shang sneered, "who would have thought that? Howzy the guards of Prince
Rui''s mansion are? I can''t believe that the dead body would have been burgled so easily! "
Qian Yin replied in a hurry, "It was not the Butler''s fault. All the servants are very busy with the funeral.
The Butler knew that the corpse was a fake one, so he didn''t take it to heart. The night keeper was
Yun Shang frowned slightly, but there was a deep doubt in her heart. "Who would steal a corpse? I
wonder if the thief knows that the corpse is a fake one."
Qian Yin was also confused. After a while, she said, "maybe theye here to take the body away to
have a thorough investigation, just because they don''t know if the body is a real one or a fake one?"
Resting in the bed, Yun Shang nodded with a gleam in her eyes, "that''s possible." She paused and
continued, "if that''s the case, they have to make an autopsy of the corpses. There are only a few
coroners here. Ask the secret guards to keep an eye on them."
Qian Yin replied yes. She shot a nce at Yun Shang and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, you
need a rest. Let me serve you."
Yun Shang was taken by surprise. After a short silence, she said, "Qian Yin, you don''t have to do that.
No matter what happens, you are my best helper. You served me just to deceive the public. You are
more talented than just being a maid of mine. Ning Qian is busy with many things in the pce now. I
was thinking about sending you out with an excuse when I returned to the Prince Rui''s mansion and
have you in charge of our shops in the Jin City. "
Qian Yin bit her lips. Knowing that Yun Shang said that not tofort her, her eyes were also teary.
She nodded her head and said, "OK, I see."
Wang Jinhuan decided to go to the pce the next day morning. Yun Shang had a good rest the whole
day. Early in the morning, she left the house secretly from the back door of the Li mansion with some
servants and went to the inn. She changed her appearance in the inn and entered the pce with
Wang Jinhuan.
In order not to make Yun Shang seem too abrupt, Wang Jinhuan brought another three people with him
as well. When entering the pce, he only said they were the ministers of the state of Ning. He also

handed a token to Xia Huanyu for request.
The eunuchs checked every one of them to see if they had any sharp weapons. After checking, Wang
Jinhuan stood at the gate of the pce with four people, waiting for the summon. It was the hour in the
early morning of the state of Xia. About five minutester, Yun Shang saw Liu Wenaning down
from a long staircase in front of the Taiji Pce and slowly walking to Wang Jinhuan. He looked at
Wang Jinhuan in a red robe and he paused for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "is this Lord
Wang from the state of Ning?"
Yun Shang couldn''t help but curl her lips into a smile. She had a feeling that he must thought that
Wang Jinhuan didn''t look like an officer.
Wang Jinhuan, however, was quite used to the way other people looked at him. He raised his
eyebrows, "yes, I am."
Liu Wenan immediately said, "Lord Wang, please follow me..."
