Chapter 612 The Person Who Sent The Hairpin (Part One)
Yun Shang smiled and turned to look at Qian Yin, with a hint of tease in her eyes, "I didn''t expect Qian
N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
Yin to hear these rumors and believe them. You''ve been with me for a long time, so you must know that
they are all inconceivable. Maybe someone is spreading these rumors there."
"But the rumor does not seem to be fake at all. I heard that it was from a man not far away from the
yard where I live. He said that his niece was a servant in Lady Liu''s yard." Qian Yin frowned and said in
a light voice, as if thinking of something.
Yun Shang smiled at Qian Yin and asked, "then have you ever asked why Lady Liu and Master of the
court Liu had a fight?"
Qian Yin was speechless at Yun Shang''s question. She said through gritted teeth, "maybe it''s because
of the affair between Master of the court Liu and the eldest princess. Lady Liu is always jealous. Your
highness, see, it has been for so many years, and there is only one concubine besidesdy Liu by
Master of the court Liu''s side. It is said that he fell in love with the woman at the brothel. Lady Liu didn''t
want the woman to enter their house at first, but she suddenly got pregnant. At that time, it was a
critical moment in the official field for Master of the court Liu. Lady Liu didn''t want him to have a bad
reputation, so she was sessfully persuaded to let the woman enter the mansion. But then that
woman miscarried without any reason. I guessdy Liu must have done it. "
"Well, it seems that you have heard a lot of rumors." Yun Shang smiled and said.
The curtain of the room was opened while they were talking. The maid who was asked to cut the plum
blossoms by Qian Yin came in with several plum blossoms in her hands. She said with a smile, "Your
Highness, here are the plum blossoms. Do you like them?"
Yun Shang lifted her eyes to have a look. It was in bud and a few drops of water were on the flower
stem. That was fresh. Yun Shang nodded her head, pointed to a vase and said with a smile on her
face, "put it over there."
The maid, taking the order, went to the vase and arranged the flowers.
Qian Yin changed the subject in a tacit understanding. "The flower has been wet in the snow. It looks
fresh, but the smell is not that strong. It will be better to pick some more flowers up in a sunny day."
Qian Yin left after sitting and chatting for a while.
The sky darkened when Qian Yin left. Qian Zhuo said with a smile on her face, "Your Highness, you
have nned to have a rest. Your highness has been busy since the Empress came here. Now it is
finally getting quiet. I''m going to fetch the meal for your highness. You should have an early rest after
having the meal. "
Yun Shang said yes, also feeling a little tired. She went to bed very early after supper.
When Yun Shang woke up the next morning, it was already noon. Yun Shang got up slowly and had
breakfast. The butler was waiting outside the door.
Yun Shang wasn''t in a hurry at all. She had her breakfast unhurriedly before she asked the Butler to
"Your Highness, I have asked my people to check out where Lady Liu went and what the hell did she
go on the day she came to our mansion. The secret guards found thatdy Liu went out of the Mansion
of the Liu n early in the morning and wanted to enter the pce in a hurry. However, she was
stopped at the entrance of the pce by the guards. Guards guarding the pce said that the empress
had said that she could not meet anyone before being summoned. Lady Liu seemed to be in a hurry.
She almost had a fight with the guards, but was stopped by a maid with her. Thendy Liu went back to
her carriage with the help of the maid. It seemed that she had been in the carriage for a long time
before she asked the coachman to go to our mansion. "
The Butler paused. Seeing that Yun Shang didn''t interrupt him, he continued, "after the carriage left our
mansion,dy Liu asked the coachman to drive around the city several times. She went to the pce
gate again, but the guards still didn''t allow her toe in. Then she went back to the Mansion of the
Liu n in the end."
"The Imperial Pce, Prince Rui''s mansion..." Yun Shang frowned after hearing his words and
wondered whydy Liu insisted on going to the Imperial Pce and why she came to her after that.
Yun Shang was still confused, and the doubts in her heart deepened.
The Butler added again, "this morning, the empress went out of the imperial city to receive the pce
guards. She also went with the seventh prince, Field Marshal Su, Master of the court Liu, and Lord Hua
Guo."
Yun Shang nodded her head and thought that Liu Ming must have sent the imperialmander''s
token to the pce already.
"How did her majesty arrange the pce guards then?" Yun Shang asked the butler.
"The empress sent someone to get arge mansion to be temporarily cleaned up in the Jin City, and
askedmander Liu to move in. Then, the army can camp out of the city. Butmander Liu said
that he would join the army and be with them, so he rejected the Empress'' arrangement. " The Butler
immediately responded.
Yun Shang heard him and smiled, "Liu Ming is such a serious man who doesn''t know how to enjoy life.
If I were him, I would ept the empress'' gift."
The Butler had nothing else to report to Yun Shang anymore, so he took his leave.
Nothing happened that day. It was very calm all day.
The next day was the day of Lady Liu''s funeral. As it was sunny, Yun Shang had a walk in her mansion
with her maids. People could hear the cries and music even through the walls.
Yun Shang stopped and listened for a while, then she returned to her room. Hardly had she walked in
the room when the Butler rushed over. "Your Highness, the little beggar with the hairpin box earlier just
came. He said that he saw the woman on the street."
