Chapter 652 A Secret Investigation


    Yun Shang turned to look at the door, and saw the seventh prince enter the room, followed by the pale


    faced Hua Yutong. Yun Shang frowned, and Lady Hua Guo said, "It''s windy outside today, I''m afraid it''s


    a little cold. I''ve asked the maid to make ginger soup for you. Yutong, fetch a bowl of soup for the


    seventh prince to warm him up."


    Stunned for a while, Yutong nodded and left with her maids.


    Lady Hua Guo asked a maid to move a chair for the seventh prince, and asked him to sit down. Yun


    Shang sat quietly on the chair next to him. Lady Hua Guo looked at the seventh prince indifferently and


    pondered for a while before saying, "It should have been his majesty and the empress who ask the


    questions. But his majesty and the empress are too busy everyday. I''m afraid they don''t have time to


    ask the questions. Would you mind me asking you the questions as a senior to you?"


    The seventh prince seemed surprised. He didn''t look at her, but turned to Yun Shang. He thought for a


    while and said, "Go ahead, yourdyship."


    Lady Hua Guo smiled, touched the Buddha in her hand, and said gently, "I''ve heard that Yutong and


    you haven''t slept together yet since you got married?"


    Yun Shang lowered her head and raised her eyebrows. She smiled as she thought to herself, ''Your


    "Since I fainted in the wedding hall, my health has been not very good. I have summoned doctors to


    recuperate at home these days. It''s still a little difficult to do that." The seventh prince''s voice sounded


    low. No matter who he was, he would be embarrassed if he had to say that in front of others.


    "Really?" Lady Hua Guo paused and turned to Yun Shang, "Shang''er, you are good at medicine. Do


    you have any idea how to cure the seventh prince?"


    Yun Shang almostughed out. After a while, she raised her head and thought for a while, "I think you


    can try nourishing food. I remembered that I''ve read in the book that stewing caterpir fungus together


    with pork bone or mutton bone is effective. But I don''t know whether it really works."

    "It''s not bad to have a try. Write down a prescription and give it to Yutong. Then she can cook it at


    home for the seventh prince." Said Lady Hua Guo indifferently.


    Yun Shang noticed that the seventh prince''s face flushed, but his eyes were full of anger. She said with


    a smile, "That''s good. His majesty always thinks that there only a few royal sons. The Crown Prince


    died, only leaving his little son. Both Prince Rui and the seventh prince marriedte. Prince Qi had


    many concubines, but had no children. The seventh Prince is in his prime of life. If he takes good care


    of himself, he could many children soon."


    The seventh prince fixed his eyes on Yun Shang''s belly and frowned. He seemed to be thinking about


    something.


    Yun Shang knew her words had hit him hard, so she just smiled and said nothing. After a while, it was


    quiet in the room. Hua Yutong came in with the ginger soup and put it in front of the seventh prince,


    "Please have some, your highness."


    The seventh Prince nodded, picked up the bowl and drank it up.


    Lady Guo asked Hua Yutong to sit down. Before she said anything, the butler walked in hastily and


    nced at the people in the room. Then he said, "Yourdyship, something happened in the seventh


    prince''s mansion."


    A joyful look shed in Yun Shang''s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.


    All of them looked at the butler and asked, "What happened?"


    The butler quickly answered, "A servant from the seventh prince Mansion just now reported that the


    mansion was on fire."


    "On fire? What happened?" Frowning, Lady Hua Guo stood up.


    The seventh prince''s face changed. He nced at Yun Shang and saw her as shocked as others. He


    frowned and said, "Excuse me. Something happened here. We must go back now."


    Lady Hua Guo replied, "Go ahead. The wind is too strong and I''m afraid it''s hard to control."


    The seventh Prince bowed to her and left the hall in a hurry. Hua Yutong also followed him quickly.


    After they left, Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang, "Is it done by you? Or Qingyan? "


    Yun Shang smiled, squinting her eyes. "Grandma, how could you say that? I came here after lunch,


    and have been ying chess with the seventh prince just now. Your highness should have paid a visit


    to a senior general of the court. When I went out today, his highness said that a senior general he


    admired very much had finally returned to the Jin City, he wanted to pay a special visit to him. And who


    dared to tantly set a fire in the seventh prince''s mansion in daytime? Maybe it''s because the


    servants were careless. "


    Lady Hua Guo red at Yun Shang. "Don''t you even think you can fool me with these craps."


    Yun Shang smiled and said nothing.


    She chatted with Lady Hua Guo for a while and left for her mansion. The coachman came over and


    waited for Yun Shang to get on the carriage. Qian Zhuo took a step forward and asked in a low voice,


    "Your Highness, do you want to go to the seventh prince''s mansion?"


    Yun Shang looked around indifferently and shook her head: "There is nothing to watch. How could I, a


    pregnant woman, go to watch it? People who don''t know me will think that we set the fire."


    But before Qian Zhuo could say anything, she cried out, "Oh, I left my handkerchief in grandma''s


    room." Then she said to the coachman, "Wait here for a moment. Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi will follow me


    back to look for it." Then she turned around and entered Lord Hua Guo''s mansion again.


    "Your Highness..." Qian Zhuo hesitated, "Aren''t the handkerchief in your hand?"


    Qin Yi thought for a while, looked at the door and asked gently, "Your Highness, is there anything


    wrong with the carriage?"


    Yun Shang looked admiringly at Qin Yi and said in a cold voice, "The coachman who sent us here must


    have been killed. Although the man outside was wearing the coachman''s clothes and covered his face


    with his cap, I''m afraid that he couldn''t change his shoes in a rush. No coachman can afford his shoes."


    Yun Shang thought to herself, most of the coachman were arranged to change the carriage after Prince


    Houjing went out of the mansion. After Prince Houjing left, Yun Shang only spent fifteen minutes with


    Lady Guo


    "Your Highness, why didn''t you let me arrest the carriage driver and interrogate him?" Qian Zhuo


    frowned and wondered.


    Yun Shang sneered, "arrest him? This is very likely to be arranged by the seventh prince. The


    coachman hasn''t well prepared, which shows that the seventh prince has just made up his mind to do


    this on the spur of the moment. He sent his man here not long after he knew his mansion was on fire.


    I''m afraid that he suspected that the fire must have something to do with me. If I take his man into


    custody, the seventh prince will be more suspicious. Why don''t we take this opportunity to eliminate his


    suspicion?"


    Qian Zhuo looked at Yun Shang in amazement. It has been only a while that Yun Shang went out of the


    mansion and found an excuse to return to the mansion. Qian Zhuo was surprised that Yun Shang had


    thought of all kinds of things in such a short time.


    "Qian Zhuo, send more shadow guards along the way. And make yourself prepared, too. Make sure if


    something goes wrong, you can attack back at any time." Yun Shang smiled, "We should cherish our


    lives even if we have to continue our acting."


    Qian Zhuo left in a hurry after saying yes. The butler of Lord Hua Guo''s mansion was surprised to see


    Yun Shang''s return. He asked in a hurry, "Lady Rui, what happened?"


    Yun Shang shook her head with a smile and said gently, "Nothing. I just walked in a hurry and forgot to


    take something with me. I will go to herdyship''s yard to look for it."


    The butler responded with a "yes" and withdrew. Yun Shang took Qin Yi to have a walk in Lady Hua


    Guo''s yard. When they arrived, Lady Hua Guo had already rested, and the maid was surprised to see


    Yun Shang. "Herdyship has just taken a rest. If your highness have something important to tell her,


    I''ll talk to her right away."


    Yun Shang waved her hands, smiled and said, "No big deal. It''s just my silk handkerchief is missing. I


    thought it might be left in the room. I''ll have a look."


    Yun Shang then went into the outer hall. Not paying attention to the maid standing by the door, Yun


    Shang casually threw the brocade handkerchief on the ground. Qin Yi quickly picked it up and said,


    "Your Highness, it is really here."


    "Good." Yun Shang replied, "Luckily, we found it." Then she walked out of the yard with Qin Yi.


    Qian Zhuo had been waiting at the door. Seeing her nodding, Yun Shang walked out.


    The carriage driver was still waiting there. Qian Zhuo went up in a hurry and opened the curtain. Qin Yi


    helped Yun Shang get on the carriage.


    "Let''s go back." Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi also followed Yun Shang into the carriage. Qian Zhuo ordered


    gently and got into the carriage.


    The carriage moved. Yun Shang said gently, "I wonder if his highness had been back in the mansion."


    Qin Yi smiled, "His highness neveres back toote. And he only pays a visit to the general today."


    "You know his highness likes about battle so much. He forgets everything once he goes to war. It''s


    possible that he could lost track of the time if he talks battle things with the general." Yun Shang smiled.


    The sound was soft, but the ears and eyes were full of vignce.


    The three of them chatted casually for a while. Then Yun Shang suddenly said, "I haven''t been to


    Qianshui Pavilion for a long time. I don''t know if it''s open during the holiday. Let''s go and have a look,


    shall we?"


    Qian Ying didn''t know why Yun Shang said so, but she also nodded and opened the curtain. The


    carriage driver was close to the curtain. Yun Shang sneered, "Go to the Qianshui Pavilion."
