Chapter 627 No Clue


    When Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan followed the butler to the long corridor they had passed before,


    they saw a woman in red walking towards them.


    Yun Shang felt that thedy looked familiar, but she didn''t remember who she was. When she was


    thinking, thedy said softly, "Shang''er." Then she turned her eyes to Luo Qingyan, who was standing


    beside Yun Shang. Stunned, she curtsied to him and said, "Your Highness."


    Hearing her voice, Yun Shang stopped. It suddenly dawned on her that there was only one woman in


    red in this mansion today. She was the bride of the seventh prince, Hua Yutong.


    Seeing the butler also looked at Hua Yutong in bewilderment, Yun Shang quickly walked to her, held


    her hand and said, "Yutong, why do youe out?"


    Hua Yutong smiled. Although she had not taken off her make-up, she looked a little pale, and even her


    body was a little trembling. She said, "I heard servants talking about the concubine Liu Chuchu while I


    was resting in the bridal chamber. I didn''t meet her before, but I think it''s a kind of fate that we could


    marry into the mansion on the same day." He nced at Yun Shang again and hesitated. "Shang''er,


    are you also going there? You''re pregnant now, so I''m afraid you''ll feel ufortable if you smell the


    blood. Besides, there''s a lot of blood in the yard, it looked like a hell even her corpse is not there."


    Yun Shang finished listening to the first part of her words with a smile. But she suddenly frowned at the


    Stunned for a while, Hua Yutong said, "There''s no corpse in the yard. Just now, the official of Ministry


    of Justice was also confused. He was wondering why the butler was so sure that Liu Chuchu and the


    servants in the her yard were killed? "


    Yun Shang and the butler both frowned. Although Yun Shang didn''t enter the yard in person, the secret


    guard had clearly reported the situation in the yard.


    "That''s not right. I had gone to the yard. There were many dead bodies on the ground. I just cast a


    nce at the gate and didn''t dare to step forward. Howe... Howe they were suddenly gone?"


    Said the butler hurriedly.


    Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang again and said in a low voice, "Let''s go and have a look at Liu


    Chuchu''s yard."


    Yun Shang hurried to catch up with him. Seeing that, Hua Yutong hesitated for a moment before


    following up. She walked to Yun Shang, held her arm and whispered, "Shang''er, is the seventh prince


    alright?"


    Hearing this, Yun Shang remembered that the seventh prince had fainted on the day of their wedding.


    No matter whether Hua Yutong was on behalf of Lord Hua Guo, she was just an ordinary woman, who


    look forward a happy marriage. The seventh prince was her husband now, and she was very worried


    about him. However, she hadn''t officially been his wife since the marriage ritual was notpleted, so


    she dared not to ask anyone in the mansion...


    Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "The seventh Prince has woken up. He is still weak, but he''s all right."


    After a pause, she continued in a lower voice, "Although something unexpected happened in the


    wedding hall, your name has been engraved in the Royal jade pendant and the seventh prince has


    already been your husband. If you are worried about him, you could ask about his condition. Or you


    can even visit him in his yard. "


    Hua Yutong lowered her head and nodded. But she still looked a little nervous.


    Yun Shang patted her hand tofort her and said with a smile, "You are a princess now. You should


    put on airs and don''t let others bully you."


    Hua Yutong raised her head and smiled at Yun Shang, "Could Ie to your mansion to chat with you


    often?"


    "Of course you can." Yun Shang said smilingly, "I am now grounded by his highness because of the


    baby in my belly. If you coulde to talk to me, I will be very happy."


    Then the two of them went to the gate of the yard. Yun Shang sniffed carefully. Although the smell of


    blood was not as strong as before, she couldn''t help frowning.


    Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang with a worried look. He thought for a moment before asking


    gently, "Are you feeling sick?"


    Yun Shang shook her head. She saw a figure in cyan walking out of the yard in a hurry in cyan color. It


    was Li Qianmo.


    Yun Shang came to her senses and suddenly remembered that after the Vice Minister of Ministry of


    Justice was removed from his post for having an affair with Princess Tai An, she asked Li qianmo to try


    to climb up. Later, he got the position of the Vice Minister.


    Since Li Qianmo was here, she didn''t have to worry about being deliberately framed by others.


    While thinking, Li Qianmo walked to them, bowed and said, "Your Highnesses."


    Luo Qingyan nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "Don''t be courteous. Have you found


    anything?"


    "There are only lots of bloodstains in the yard, and a knife full of blood. Nothing else." said Li Qianmo


    after thinking for a while.


    The butler said promptly. "The servants in the mansion found many dead bodies lying randomly in the


    yard, including the new concubine, all the servants she brought in and some servants arrange by the


    seventh prince to look after her. Everyone is very bush as the new princess and the new concubine


    married into the mansion on the same day and something happened in the wedding hall, so the


    concubine was being neglected. That''s why didn''t notice it soon..."


    "Dead bodies?" Li Qianmo paused, "I have searched the yard for a long time, but I didn''t find any


    traces of moving the bodies. Since no one notice it at the first time, why didn''t the murder move the


    dead bodies before anyone seeing them, but tried his best to move them after they were discovered? "


    Yun Shang frowned. Li Qianmo was right. When the murderer killed the person, his goal had been


    achieved. Why did he take the risk to move the corpses? And how could so many bodies be moved


    away so easily in broad daylight without being seen by anyone? But there were indeed corpses in this


    courtyard before. Why did they suddenly disappear?


    Yun Shang thought about it for a while and realized the only possibility was that seventh prince had


    ordered someone to kill all the people in the courtyard, but he didn''t expect that the empress asked Li


    Qianmo, who is not under his control, to investigate the case. He was afraid that Li Qianmo might find


    something wrong, so he ordered people to move the bodies away.


    "Since we are already here, let''s go inside and have a look." Yun Shang spoke indifferently.


    Li Qianmo responded and made way for them. Luo Qingyan turned around and held Yun Shang''s


    shoulder. He said in a low voice, "If you are not feeling well, don''t force yourself. This matter has


    nothing to do with us."


    Yun Shang nodded and went into the yard with Luo Qingyan.


    The courtyard was not small. After entering it, there was a garden, in which there were many orchids


    and chrysanthemums. In the middle was a rockery, after passing the rockery was a small pond. There


    was a big tree by the pond, and a stone under the tree, and then a row of houses.


    It was after the rockery that the smell of blood became stronger, and there were bloodstains on the


    ground, stone table, and the water in the pond near the shore also stained with scarlet. The blood


    spread all the way to the door of the room with the words "wedding" written on it.


    Yun Shang looked carefully along the way. The yard was so clean that except for the bloodstains, there


    was almost nothing left.


    Even the traces made by the secret guards as Yun Shang ordered had disappeared.


    Yun Shang followed the blood all the way to the door of the room, and then she turned to ask, "Is this


    the room for the concubine?"


    The butler nodded and said, "yes."


    Yun Shang nodded and stepped into the room. The inside was not the same as she had imagined. She


    had thought that all the things in the room should be red at the first sight, but when she entered, she


    found that all the things in the room were new. There was a slight smell of paint, mixed with the aroma


    of pine, which was a little pungent. However, there was no red candle or bright red wedding sheet on


    the bed, only the words "wedding" written on the boxes that were just put in.


    The butler noticed that Yun Shang was looking at the boxes, so he quickly said, "These are the boxes


    brought by the new concubine."


    Yun Shang opened the four suitcases. Two were filled with clothes. One was full of books, and another


    contained things for daily use.


    Yun Shang searched the cases casually and closed them.


    It was merely Liu Chuchu''s first day in the mansion. There was nothing else in the room, and it was

    also very clean.


    Yun Shang ran her eyes over the room from one end to another. Perhaps it was because the scent in


    the room was not so good, she just had a quick look at it and hurried out of the door.


    When Yun Shang went out of the room, Luo Qingyan followed her, so did other people.


    Yun Shang took a short break and turned to Li Qianmo. "What do you want us to do?"


    Hearing this, Li Qianmo nced at the butler behind her and said: "I checked around the yard but didn''t


    find any clue. There is really no clue. I heard that Prince Rui and Lady Rui were here, and I thought that


    you might have some opinions. Thus, I took the liberty to ask the butler to bring you here."


    Seeing Li Qianmo''s face, Yun Shang knew that he must have something to say. But in consideration of


    the butler''s presence, he didn''t say it. Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "I''m not feeling well. I


    feel a little ufortable as soon as I enter this yard. There is nothing to talk about."


    Li Qianmo thought for a while and then nodded, "It''s my fault."
