Chapter 1092 A Downtown Incident
Both Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan thought that Hua Yutong was under their watch. With the secret
guards watching her every day, she wouldn''t be able to stir up too much trouble.
But they didn''t expect that something had happened to the two concubines of Xia Houjing brought by
Hua Yutong.
"The two concubines have been staying in that small yard without going out. Since Hua Yutong has
been out frequently, at night, the guards only paid attention to her. "
"At about 2 o''clockst night, the secret guards saw a man in ck sneaking into that yard, they paid
all their attention to Hua Yutong. The man was the owner of several famous opera houses in the city,
and also a member of Xia Houjing''s. The man showed his identity to Hua Yutong and promised to
support her to save Xia Houjing. He showed his loyalty and then left... "
"This morning, I found that the two concubines were killed in their own rooms. The secret guards
secretly checked the bodies, and found that they were cut by a sharp weapon. It should happen at
about 2 o''clock when the man camest night."
Hearing these reports, Yun Shang frowned slightly, "So, the secret guards were tricked into their
strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They then took advantage of the loophole and killed
the two pregnant concubines of Xia Houjing''s. Were they Xia Houjing''s men? The two concubines were
still pregnant with Xia Houjing''s children. Why did they do this? "
The leader of the secret guards lowered his head and said, "This morning, Hua Yutong changed into
in clothes and asked people to bring the corpses of the two concubines to the downtown. She cried
and shouted that your majesties were heartless, saying that although the seventh Prince was guilty, the
unborn children were innocent. No matter how innocent the babies were, your majesties had to kill
them both, which was too vicious..."
"Ha ha..." Yun Shang''s face darkened, "What a good show."
The leader of the secret guards nced at Yun Shang and said, "It''s my fault. Please punish me, your
majesty."
"Now that things havee to this point, what''s the use of punishment?"
The leader of the secret guards also understood this. He thought for a moment and said, "How about I
take Hua Yutong away on the charge of ndering the Emperor and your majesty and lock her up
carefully?"
"If we do that, wouldn''t it prove that what she said is true? The people in the city will think that his
majesty and I have taken advantage of our power to bully people by first killing Xia Houjing''s
concubines and children, and now going to attack Hua Yutong again?"
"Well..."
The secret guard lowered his eyes and stood aside. He had no choice.
Yun Shang took a deep breath, stood up and called, "Get ready. I have to go out of the pce."
The maids responded and changed the daily clothes for Yun Shang. Then they asked servants to
prepare a carriage and guards. Yun Shang went straight out of the pce and headed for the
downtown area where Hua Yutong was.
The noise could be heard from afar. Yun Shang frowned and raised the curtain of the carriage. Many
people gathered around, blocking the spacious roads in the downtown. Many people were pointing and
discussing, and it was very lively.
"Your Majesty, there are too many people outside. I''m afraid the carriage can''t get through," someone
reported.
Yun Shang ordered, "Get off the carriage."
Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo looked worried, "There are too many people. I don''t know if there are
assassins among them. It''s too dangerous. Your majesty, you''d better wait in the carriage. Let''s go and
inquire about the news for you."
"It doesn''t matter. I''m with my secret guards. I''ll be fine,"
said Yun Shang. She put on a hat, opened the door and got off the carriage.
Everyone followed her in a hurry.
After taking a few steps forward, they could hear the discussion gradually. There was arge crowd of
people, and it was not easy to squeeze in. Yun Shang smiled and asked the people discussing near
her, "What is happening inside? Why are there so many people around? The way is blocked this way. "
Hardly had she finished speaking, when several people''s voices rang out, "It''s said that she is the
seventh princess. The seventh Prince failed in the rebellion and was imprisoned by the Emperor and
the Empress. The seventh princess rushed back to the Jin City with the two pregnant concubines of the

seventh Prince'', wanting to see him for thest time."
"Yesterday, the seventh princess went to the pce to ask the Empress for help, but the Empress
didn''t agree. Instead, after knowing that the two concubines are pregnant, the Empress secretly
ordered to kill the two pregnant concubinesst night..." the man out his hand on his neck and went on,
"Crack."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "How can you be sure that it was the Empress who did it? Did anyone
see that it was the Empress who killed her? "
"You don''t need to see it with your own eyes? It must be his majesty or the Empress who did it. You
should know that it was a serious crime for the seventh Prince to rebel. The unborn children of the two
concubines'' were the sons of the sinner. The Empress and His Majesty would definitely not tolerate
their existence. What if the two children grow up ande to the Emperor and the Empress for
revenge? So, they have to remove the weeds. "
"What''s more, the seventh princess just came to the pce yesterday morning and begged the
Empress. She begged to take the two pregnant concubines to see the seventh Prince for thest time.
Afterwards, the two concubines had an ident at night. Isn''t it too coincidental? Who would it be the
killer if it were not the Empress? "
the man said excitedly. The people beside him pulled his sleeve and said, "Keep your voice down. How
dare you talk about the Empress in this street? Don''t you want to die?"
Yun Shang lowered her voice and continued, "But if the Emperor and the Empress want the lives of the
two concubines and the unborn children of the seventh Prince'', why did they kill them in the middle of
the night? A direct imperial edict can do to execute him fair and square. After all, you have said that the
seventh Prince hasmitted a serious crime of treason... "
"You don''t know, do you? The Emperor hasn''t held the enthronement ceremony yet. If they deal with
the two women and their unborn children in a grant manner at this time, it will certainly cause
criticism. By then, it will be more difficult if he gains the reputation of a tyrant. It''s better to deal with it in
secret. "
Yun Shang sneered. She found she had underestimated Hua Yutong.
Someone asked, "Shouldn''t we report the death to the police? Why did the seventh princess drag the
corpses to the street and make trouble here? What is she going to do? "
"Call the police?" a manughed and said, "What are you going to say to the police? Can you say you
suspect that the Emperor and the Empress have killed someone? They are his majesty, and the
Empress. Which official will dare to investigate this case? Even if they investigate and handle it, they
would probably just find a scapegoat to hastily cover the case. The seventh princess is forced to do so.
"
Yun Shang squinted at the man and turned to the carriage.
"Your Majesty?" Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo followed her and asked, "Your majesty, are you leaving now?"
"Let''s go. Send someone to Fuya and ask them to get ready. Ask the secret guards to go back to the
pce, and send thirty or forty guards here. Get the Empress'' carriage ready, and go to the Weiyang
Pce to bring here my court clothes... "
