Chapter 628 Hua Yutong visits


    Luo Qingyan had remained quiet all the time. When he heard that Yun Shang was not feeling well, he


    frowned and said, "You are pregnant now, so you don''t need to worry about it. Let me send you home


    first."


    Yun Shang nodded, turned around, smiled at Hua Yutong, and said, "I''ll go back now. You''ve just


    arrived at the mansion of the seventh prince, and if you have anything, just tell the butler. I don''t think


    the butler will ignore you."


    The butler, who was standing beside, quickly responded, "Of course. If you have anything, just let me


    know."


    Hua Yutong nodded immediately and smiled at Yun Shang, "Okay, I see."


    Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang out of the seventh prince''s mansion and went back in a carriage. Yun


    Shang frowned and asked Luo Qingyan, "Is anybody following us?"


    Luo Qingyan shook his head, "No, what''s wrong?"


    After the carriage turn around and enter a small alley, Yun Shang asked the driver to stop the carriage.


    Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang and frowned. "What happened?"


    "Nothing." Yun Shang smiled and rested her head on Luo Qingyan''s chest, "Your Highness, guess who


    is behind all this?"


    Luo Qingyan was silent for a while, and then said, "If I have to say a suspect, it would be the seventh


    prince. The yard is way too clean... "


    "Yes, it''s so clean that people have to suspect it was done by someone from the seventh prince''s


    mansion." Yun Shang answered in a hesitant voice.


    After about fifteen minutester, and the sound of the horseshoes came. Luo Qingyan opened the


    curtain and looked out of the carriage. He frowned and looked at Yun Shang. "It''s Li Qianmo, are you


    waiting for him?"


    Hardly had his voice faded away, they heard Li Qianmo speak in a low voice, "Master."


    Yun Shang responded and asked, "What did you want to say when we were in the courtyard?"


    Li Qianmo replied, "When I investigated the crime scene, I found something strange in a rockery of the


    courtyard. I thought it was weird, so I wanted to let you have a look."


    Rockery? Yun Shang frowned as she thought of the rockery in the yard Liu Chuchu stayed. Yun Shang


    lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Li qianmo handed her something like a parchment. Before Yun


    Shang stretched out her hand, Luo Qingyan had taken it and unfolded the parchment.


    Yun Shang reached out her head and had a look. Then she frowned.


    It was a map, which was very detailed. It marked the seventh Prince Mansion on the map. Every


    courtyard, even the path and the face of every yard were marked in detail.


    "A map?" Yun Shang frowned. No matter what, this map was not supposed to be in the yard. That


    garden was so clean, but only this map stayed. It was clearly used to confuse people.


    "The empress and the seventh prince asked you to investigate this case. Why didn''t you report it to


    them when you found it?" Luo Qingyan snapped before Yun Shang could speak.


    Hearing that, Li Qianmo said in a hurry, "Please have a look, your highness. There is a small


    embroidery on the left and lower corner of the map."


    "Embroidery?" Luo Qingyan frowned and turned the map over. In the bottom left corner, there was


    indeed a small embroidery that was like a mark, embroidered with the word "Rui".


    Rui? Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang exchange a look. "Rui" could indicate anyone who has the word in


    his name. But it could be more easily associated with Prince Rui.


    It definitely couldn''t be handed to the empress or the seventh prince. Or they would probably take this


    opportunity to throw all the dirty water on Prince Rui''s mansion.


    "But why did they target on Prince Rui''s mansion? Prince Rui''s mansion has nothing to do with the


    seventh prince''s concubine..." Yun Shang was confused. She thought there was a possibility that the


    murderer happened to meet them, be asked the way by them and then deliberately led them to the


    yard. But looking at this map, she was sure all this had been set in advance.


    Li Qianmo meditated for a moment before he continued, "After Liu Jin was sentenced to death, rumors


    said that it was Liu Jin who plotted Prince Rui''s missing, since he is the seventh prince''s grandfather."


    Yun Shang was a little surprised. She came to her senses and figured out that the murderer intended to


    make Luo Qingyan suspicious. Then people would think Luo Qingyan was taking revenge on the Liu


    n and killed the seventh prince''s concubine, Liu Chuchu.


    "Isn''t it too farfetched?" Yun Shang felt it funny.


    "It''s not up to us. Many people might not think it''s farfetched." Said Luo Qingyan lightly.


    But if it was really set by the seventh prince as they thought, he would be able to get another one even


    if Li Qianmo brought this map to Yun Shang.


    Luo Qingyan remained silent for a while and said, "Let''s just wait and see."


    Yun Shang nodded and said to Li Qianmo, "I see. You can leave now. We''ve been here for a long time.


    I''m afraid we''ll draw attention."


    Li Qianmo responded. Yun Shang heard the horse''s galloping sound again and then ordered the


    coachman to go back to the mansion.


    Luo Qingyan put the parchment into his sleeve and whispered, "You don''t need to worry about it. I''ll


    deal with it."


    Yun Shang was thinking about something, so she didn''t hear Luo Qingyan''s words clearly. She nodded.


    After returning to the mansion, Yun Shang felt quite sleepy. She ate some food and went to bed. The


    next day, Yun Shang didn''t wake up until noon. Luo Qingyan hadn''te back yet. After having lunch,


    Yun Shang heard the butler report that the seventh prince''s wife hase. Yun Shang was surprised.


    Though she had said that she would visit her often yesterday, she didn''t expect that she came here


    today. Yun Shang guessed that something must have happened to Hua Yutong, so she quickly ordered


    people to take her to the yard.


    Hua Yutong saw Yun Shang reading a book on the couch. She was surprised. Then she smiled. "As a


    guest, I should have prepared a gift for you, but here I am with nothing in hands."


    Hearing what Hua Yutong said, Yun Shangughed. She thought that Hua Yutong''s character was


    really to her appetite, and said, "It doesn''t matter. As a hostess, I should''ve stood up to greet you, but


    I''m still sitting here. Take your seat please."


    Hua Yutong smiled and sat down on a stool. She quickly nced the room and said with a smile, "It''s


    said that Prince Rui spoils his wife. That''s true."


    Since Hua Yutong hadn''t brought up the matter in the seventh prince''s mansion, Yun Shang didn''t ask


    her directly. She just smiled and said, "How could you said that after just sitting down for a moment?"


    "Of course I can judge." Hua Yutong''s smile became more brilliant, "Normally, in a noble family of the


    State of Xia, a husband lives in a separate main yard, and his wife and concubines live in different


    yards. Even the couple love each other very much, they also live in separate yard. And the wife was


    not allowed to sleep with her husband when she is having her period or pregnant. I have seen many


    traces of man in the room. Prince Rui must be living with you. How could you deny that he spoils you?"


    Yun Shang thought for a while and seemed to agree with her. Yun Shang had experienced what Hua


    Yutong said in her previous life. Luo Qingyan arranged like this ever since they got married, so she


    didn''t feel anything wrong.


    At the thought of this, Yun Shang smiled instead of answering her question. "Did you see the seventh


    prince yesterday?"


    The smile on Hua Yutong''s face faded a little. She shook her head and said, "Yesterday I was busy


    sorting out a dozen boxes I brought to the mansion, and I didn''t find the appropriate time to see him."


    "A dozen boxes?" Yun Shang smiled too. "What did you bring with you?"


    "I don''t think there is anything special. They are just clothes, shoes, jewelries, my favorite books, as


    well as writing brush, ink sticks, paper and ink stone, instrument, chess, calligraphy, paintings,


    embroidered kit. There are three boxes of books alone. When I saw them yesterday, I was also


    shocked. How could I need so many things? " Hua Yutong smiled and said, "But I have got used to


    them. I will feel not right if I have to use some new things instead of them."


    Yun Shang smiled too. "You are right. I brought a chef from the State of Ning here when I came to the


    State of Xia. I feared that I would not get used to the food here."


    After a pause, something suddenly shed through her mind. She frowned and said, "Are you familiar

    with Liu Chuchu?"


    "Liu Chuchu?" Maybe it was because of what happened yesterday, the smile on Hua Yutong''s face


    disappeared when they talked about Liu Chuchu. "I''ve heard about her before, but I was sent out of the


    Jin City when I was young because of my poor health. I only heard that she was so talented that she


    could write elegantposition when she was only seven or eight and she was proficient at the Four


    Arts. I have heard her ying Guqin at a banquet before. It was indeed impressive. And the Guqin she


    yed was a Jiao Wei Qin awarded to her by the emperor... "


    "Really? A Jiao Wei Qin awarded to her by the emperor? " Yun Shang frowned and murmured.


    Hua Yutong nodded her head and replied, "I heard that at a banquet held by the emperor, Liu Chuchu,


    who was only nine years old at that time, was highly praised by the emperor for the tune ''High


    mountains and Running water'' and was awarded the Jiao Wei Qin.
