Chapter 1108 Too Conspicuous


    Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so sure?"


    Qian Liu shook her head, "I''m not sure. But from the investigation results of the secret guards, he is the


    most suspicious."


    "The secret guards found out that when he worked as the grand tutor, he had a good rtionship with


    Xia Houjing. He appreciated Xia Houjing very much and often praised him as his best disciple. The two


    of them had a close rtionship. Even after Lord Ling resigned, Xia Houjing often visited him. There


    was even a rumor that he was going to marry Lord Ling''s daughter, but Miss Ling suddenly fell ill and


    died. "


    Yun Shang asked in surprise, "Is that true?"


    Qian Liu nodded, "But it seems that Xia Houjing wanted to avoid suspicion after your majesty and his


    majesty came to the Jin city, so the contact between Xia Houjing and Lord Ling is suddenly reduced."


    "In addition, the secret guard also found that Wenshu Bookstore where Hua Yutong visited after she


    returned to Jin city was not only frequently visited by Prince Xian, but also by Lord Ling. On the day


    Hua Yutong went to Wenshu Bookstore, Lord Ling also went there. "


    Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. At that time, she and Luo Qingyan found Wenshu Bookstore because


    of Liu Yinfeng''s sudden departure from the Jin city. They didn''t expect that Lord Ling was involved in


    this matter.


    In this way, it was uncertain whether Hua Yutong contacted Liu Yinfeng or Lord Ling in Wenshu


    Bookstore that day.


    Yun Shang leafed through the pamphlet and nodded, "Yes, as you said, from the information collected


    by the secret guards, the most suspicious one is indeed Ling Hai."


    "Yes." Qian Liu echoed in a low voice, and then continued, "But that''s why I feel that it''s strange. The


    former grand tutor had a close rtionship with Xia Houjing. We could find so many things with only


    one investigation. If Lord Ling is thest chip that Xia Houjing has prepared, it would be too


    conspicuous... "


    Yun Shang nodded, "Yes. So, what do you think of it?"


    Qian Liu meditated for a moment and said, "In my opinion, there are two possibilities. One is that Lord


    Ling is deliberately put forward by Xia Houjing to attract our attention. In fact, he has nothing to do with


    Xia Houjing.


    "The second is that Lord Ling is indeed Xia Houjing''s man. The reason why we can find so many things


    is that he did it on purpose. He deliberately made us feel that no one would put theirst chip so


    conspicuous. Then we might just ignore him. If we did so, we would just fall into his trap. "


    Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "It''s not in vain to stay with me for so long. If it were you, what would


    you do?"


    Qian Liu kept silent for a moment, and then looked at Yun Shang carefully. "I have thought of two


    ways."


    "Tell me."


    "One is that we''d rather kill one thousand people by mistake than let go of one. Let''s keep an eye on


    Lord Ling. No matter whether or not he is really Xia Houjing''sst bargaining chip, we''ll keep an eye on


    him, so that he won''t have any chance to take advantage of us."


    "Okay." Yun Shang smiled, "It''s a very safe way. What about the second one?"


    "The second one is that we pretend to be trapped. We no longer focus on Lord Ling and continue to


    investigate others and find suspicious targets. Just wait him to show his true color. "


    Hearing what Qian Liu said, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "So, in fact, you think it''s more


    likely that Ling Hai is indeed Xia Houjing''s men, don''t you? You think all the information we found out is


    deliberately released by Ling Hai to deceive us, so that we can think that he is so conspicuous that he


    can''t be thest bargaining chip of Xia Houjing? "


    "Yes."


    Yun Shang nodded thoughtfully and returned the pamphlet to Qian Liu.


    Qian Liu took it over and asked softly, "What should we do next? Your majesty, please tell me... "


    Yun Shang smiled and said, "Let''s continue to investigate the former grand tutor. We should carefully


    investigate him, and even all the people who have a close rtionship with him.


    "No matter whether or not he is the one we are looking for in the end, since he has been exposed, he


    must have some rtionship with Xia Houjing. As long as he is rted, we should sort it out."

    "Yes."


    It was getting cold.


    The court was still full of undercurrents, but it seemed to gradually calm down on the surface.


    asionally, some voices came out, saying that the Prince was an idiot, and that Yun Shang was


    infertile and they wanted Luo Qingyan to marry some concubines.


    However, these messy voices were also pressed down by Luo Qingyan in silence. Yun Shang only


    heard some rumors from time to time, but no one dared to make trouble for her with these things. Yun


    Shang just pretended that nothing had happened, and dealt with all the affairs in the imperial


    household in Weiyang Pce every day and keep Bao''erpany.


    The secret guards hadn''t stopped investigating the matter of Xia Houjing. However, there seemed to be


    no movement on the other side. It was quiet for a moment, which made Yun Shang feel a little different.


    "A few dayster, it''s your birthday. This is your first birthday after you became the Empress. Although


    the enthronement ceremony hasn''t been held yet, you can''t be too careless. Are you ready? "


    Luo Qingyan was holding a book in his hand. He didn''t open it, but stared at Yun Shang.


    Yun Shang was reading the pamphlets submitted by the pces. When Luo Qingyan asked about it,


    she raised her head in confusion and blinked at Luo Qingyan.


    Judging from the look on Yun Shang''s face, Luo Qingyan knew that she hadn''t started to prepare for it.


    He couldn''t help but feel a little funny. He only red at Yun Shang, pretending to be angry. "Did you


    forget about it?"


    "Your Majesty, you know that I don''t care much about my birthday. It''s not a big deal. We can just


    gather together to celebrate it."


    "What are you talking about?" Luo Qingyan nced at Yun Shang and said, "You have a different


    identity now. Even if you want to celebrate it casually, the courtiers won''t allow you."


    After saying that, he added, "It doesn''t matter if you forget it. Didn''t the servants around you remind


    you?"


    "Hmm..." Yun Shang smiled, "They have reminded me several times, but I didn''t take it seriously. It''s


    not their fault. Well, I see. I''ll tell them to prepare carefullyter."


    Yun Shang replied casually, while gently stroking the pamphlet in her hand. The enthronement


    ceremony hadn''t been held yet. Although she was exercising the power of the Empress, the ceremony


    hadn''t been done yet, and she was still not the Empress recorded in the royal family tree.


    There were many people outside who didn''t want her to be the Empress. The birthday party wouldn''t


    be easy...
