Chapter 1060 Looking For Clues


    Yun Shang stopped and turned to Ning Qian, "What did you say? She have a disguise on her face? "


    Seeing Yun Shang''s expression, Ning Qian knew that Yun Shang didn''t know about it. She nodded and


    said, "Yes, I found it by ident. I''ve tried many ways, but I found that the disguise on Lady Cao''s face


    is nowhere to be found. I''ve also used the medicine to wash her disguise, but it''s useless."


    "Then how did you find her disguise?" Yun Shang frowned and asked.


    Ning Qian smiled and said, "Once, she was in my pce. We talked about the recent pearl hairpins,


    and I took out some hairpins to let her see if she had a favorite style. The servant identally cut a


    small wound on her forehead with the hairpin, and I found that she was wearing a fake face."


    Yun Shang''s mind was racing, and her expression was changing. If Cao Shanxiu was not the real Cao


    Shanxiu, who would she be?


    Yun Shang thought carefully about the things that could be connected with Cao Shanxiu, and had a


    guess in her heart.


    Yun Shang turned to look at Ning Qian and stared at Ning Qian for a long time. Ning Qian touched her


    face and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that, master?"


    Looking at the disguise on Ning Qian''s face, Yun Shang touched her face and asked, "Do you think


    Cao Shanxiu can recognize your disguise when you appeared in front of her?"


    Ning Qian thought for a while and nodded, "She is good at disguise, so she can find it at a nce."


    Yun Shang nodded thoughtfully, threw the brocade handkerchief on the ground, and turned around to


    walk back with Ning Qian. "After you enter the room, it''s all my people. Remove the disguise on your


    face, and then go to the private prison with me."


    Ning Qian didn''t know why Yun Shang arranged this, but she agreed. As soon as she returned to her


    room, she quickly removed her disguise and went to the private prison with Yun Shang again. Cao


    Shanxiu raised her head and looked at the two. When her eyes fell on Ning Qian, her expression


    changed obviously. But Yun Shang ignored it and ordered the secret guards, "My brocade handkerchief


    is missing. Check to see if it fell here just now."


    The secret guard answered in a hurry. He had searched for a long time in the private prison, but did not


    find the brocade handkerchief that Yun Shang had mentioned. Hearing the secret guard''s report, Yun


    Shang frowned and waved her hand. She sighed, "Forget it. I''ll look for it somewhere else."


    Then Yun Shang left the prison with Ning Qian.


    Ning Qian was confused, "Master, what are you doing this for?"


    Yun Shang smiled, "Since you saw her disguise before, she was naturally afraid. Before that, she might


    not know that you work for me. Of course, I would show her. Then she will be worried that I will find out

    the secret of her disguise. If that secret is very important, I don''t believe that she will not do anything.


    As long as she makes a move, I will have the chance to find evidence to prove that what I think is right.


    Even if she didn''t do anything, I will cheat her again tomorrow to make her think that I have collected


    the evidence... "


    When the two of them returned to Weiyang Pce, Yun Shang walked to the couch and sat down. She


    reached out for the teacup that Qian Zhuo handed to her. Then she looked up at Ning Qian and asked,


    "You just said, what''s wrong with Xia Houjing?"


    Ning Qian also sat on the chair. She frowned and said, "A letter from Yang Liu Town said that Xia


    Houjing is seriously ill. The secret guards couldn''t find out whether it was true or not, so they had to


    send a message back as soon as possible and wanted to ask master what to do with it. "


    "Xia Houjing is seriously ill?" Yun Shang looked surprised.


    "Yes, the doctor His Former Majesty and Xia Houjing called happened to be working in the hospital


    where our spy was. He also went as an assistant. The doctor said that Xia Houjing''s condition was very


    serious." Ning Qian replied softly.


    Yun Shang nodded slightly, lost in thought, and murmured, "Howe he is seriously ill? It''s hard not


    to arouse suspicion. "


    Biting her lips, Yun Shang looked up and ordered Ning Qian, "Keep an eye on them. Don''t let go of any


    stranger entering the town. Maybe Xia Houjing''s people are ning to rescue. This is our chance."


    Ning Qian smiled, "Well, I''m going to Yang Liu Town in person."


    Yun Shang was surprised. She looked at Ning Qian and thought for a while. Then she shook her head


    and said, "You just gave birth to a baby. How can the baby leave you? You don''t need to worry about it.


    I will ask someone to investigate it."


    Ning Qian nodded and told Yun Shang something else before leaving the pce.


    Yun Shang took a sip of tea and knocked on the armrest of the chair. Then she looked up at Qian Zhuo


    and said, "Send a message to Qian Yin and ask her to go to Yang Liu Town."


    Qian Zhuo bowed to Yun Shang and left.


    Yun Shang sat quietly in the chair and drank up the tea in the cup. Qian Liu went up to refill Yun


    Shang''s cup. Then Yun Shang told Qian Liu, "Ask Pei Lan to Shangyi Bureau to call Yu Nian here."


    Qian Liu bowed and left the inner hall. She told Pei Lan in a low voice, but she didn''te in for a long


    time. There was a faint sound of talking outside. After a while, Qian Liu opened the curtain and came


    in. Yun Shang looked up at Qian Liu, "What''s wrong?"


    Qian Liu smiled, "The Imperial Household Department sent someone here, saying that the weather


    was getting colder and they have prepared some new charcoal for you."


    Yun Shang smiled and said, "It''s too early to use the charcoal. It''s not cold yet, thick clothes are


    enough. Put the charcoal away and we''ll use itter."


    Qian Liu replied in a low voice.


    After a short while, Yu Nian came. She bowed to Yun Shang and said softly, "The Shangyi Bureau has


    made some new clothes for autumn and winter. I''ve brought them to your majesty and the Prince. If


    your majesty don''t like them, just tell me."


    Yun Shang chuckled, "You may not be good in other ways, but I believe in your ability to make clothes.


    But today I didn''t summoned you for the clothes. "


    Hearing this, Yu Nian trembled slightly, lowered her head and said softly, "Please give my order, your


    majesty."


    Seeing this, Yun Shang smiled more brightly. "Don''t be so afraid, Master Yu. I won''t let you do anything


    like killing people. I just have a few questions to ask you."


    Then Yu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You must be kidding, your majesty. Just ask. If I know,


    I will tell you everything."


    Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Cao Wenxi, and the concubine of His Former Majesty, Lady Cao. I want to


    ask a few questions rted to the two of them. The first question is, do you know what else Cao Wenxi


    is good at besides ying the lute? "


    After a moment''s pause, Yu Nian lowered her head and said softly, "When Cao Wenxi married Xia


    Chun, I had just entered the pce for a short time. I didn''t see her often. I just heard some rumors


    about her from time to time. I heard that she was good at the Four Arts. Besides ying the lute, I only


    heard that she was good at making incense."


    Good at making incense?


    Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly. This answer didn''t satisfy Yun Shang, but Yun Shang didn''t


    show it on her face. She said indifferently, "Are Lady Cao also good at ying the lute or making


    incense?"


    Not knowing why Yun Shang asked this, Yu Nian answered truthfully, "I''ve never heard of it. Lady Cao


    wasn''t outstanding in the pce before, and I don''t have a deep impression of her."


    Yun Shang frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Then tell me what kind of Cao Wenxi


    you think she is."


    After thinking for a long time, she answered in a low voice, "Cao Wenxi was famous at that time. She


    was beautiful and talented, well-known all over the state. I heard that she was apprenticed to a master


    because of the reputation of the Cao n. Everyone knows about it, but I don''t know what she has


    learned from that master. Before theing of age ceremony, she was engaged to Xia Chun. As soon


    as they reached the age of fifteen, the two of them became a couple. For a moment, it had been widely


    spread among the people. She gave birth to a child at the age of seventeen. That child is also very


    smart. "


    "A master?" Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and asked in confusion.


    Seeing that she couldn''t get any answer from Yu Nian, she waved her hand and asked her to leave.


    She stood up and said to Qian Liu, "I''ll go to Luoxue Pavilion to have a look."


    Qian Liu didn''t know where the Luoxue Pavilion was, so she followed Yun Shang.


    Due to the murder at the Luoxue Pavilion a few days ago, the door of Luoxue Pavilion had been


    sealed, and the weeds at the door had been removed. The que of the Luoxue pavilion was also


    hung up. Yun Shang ordered Qian Liu to take off the seal and entered Luoxue Pavilion.


    After the ident of Li Fuhuast time, the yard of the Luoxue Pavilion was cleaned up a lot. Yun


    Shang entered the Luoxue Pavilion and went straight to the bedroom to search.


    "What are you looking for, your majesty? Let me help you." Qian Liu asked hurriedly.


    Many things in the room had been covered with thick dust. As soon as they were picked up, there


    would be dust. Yun Shang removed the dust in front of her and coughed, "Find out all the things with


    the owner''s handwriting in the room. And check if there is any sachet or incense. Then go to another


    room and see if there is a lute. "


    Qian Liu agreed and called out the secret guards to search the things Yun Shang ordered.


    There were a lot of books with handwriting, and one or two sachets were found. However, the


    fragrance had already disappeared, and no one could find the lute. Yun Shang ordered servants to


    send all the things to Weiyang Pce. Then she went to Lady Cao''s pce to search and took all the


    things she needed back to Weiyang Pce.


    When Luo Qingyan returned to Weiyang Pce, he saw several books on the desk, frowning.


    Luo Qingyan walked to Yun Shang and looked at the books in Yun Shang''s hands. Some were old and


    some were new, but the handwriting on them was the same. Luo Qingyan heard Yun Shang muttering,


    "How could it be? Did I guess wrong? "


    Seeing this, Luo Qingyan smiled, "What do you think is wrong?"
