Chapter 1258 More Than That


    "Dead?" Yun Shang was stunned. "I just left for a short time. And he is gone? How? "


    "After you left, he turned around and sat still in the corner. We looked through the dark window several


    times, but we didn''t find anything unusual. It was not until about two hourster when we brought him


    food that we found he was gone.


    Hemitted suicide. He used a hairpin and stabbed it into his own Baihui acupoint. And he died


    quietly."


    Yun Shang frowned more tightly, "Hemitted suicide with a hairpin? Where did the hairpine


    from? When he was locked up in the private prison, all the things on his body had been taken away,


    hadn''t they? Wasn''t even his clothes reced by secret guards? "


    "Yes, your majesty." The secret guard lowered his head and took out a hairpin from his sleeve, "This


    hairpin should belong to your majesty, but I don''t know when it was taken away by that Mister Mingyi."


    Yun Shang''s eyes fell on the secret guard, who was holding a white phoenix hairpin with a drooping


    heart. It was indeed what she wore today.


    Yun Shang raised her hand and touched her bun. The hairpin was indeed gone.


    "When did he take it? I didn''t have physical contact with him at that time. "


    Besides, she had met this Mister Mingyi several times, and she didn''t notice how profound his martial


    arts was.


    Unless... He was much better at martial arts than her, so that she didn''t notice it at all.


    But it shouldn''t be the case. Besides her, Luo Qingyan had also been close to this Mister Mingyi.


    And if he was really that good at martial arts, how could he be caught and brought back so easily?


    Yun Shang took the hairpin and frowned.


    "When Mister Mingyi was brought back, what did he bring with him? Such as the jade pendant sachet


    or other things that were more likely to make people think of him at the first sight? "


    The secret guard recalled for a moment and said, "When Mister Mingyi was brought back, he did have


    a jade pendant and a sachet with him. In addition, he also had a jade ring in his hand. Judging from its


    color, it seemed to be very precious."


    Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Send one of these things to the Cao n''s mansion and put it on the table


    in Cao Yi''s study. Then ambush nearby and observe his reaction carefully."


    Since she had promised Mister Mingyi that she would find a way to save Cao Yi''s life, she would keep


    her words.


    But before she saved him, she could also use this to frighten him.


    "Yes, your majesty."


    In the evening, when Luo Qingyan came to the Weiyang Pce, Yun Shang told him about this. Luo


    Qingyan didn''t show much surprise on his face, "Did I forget to tell you that Mister Mingyi used to be a


    thief before he was sent to the brothel? And he was very skilled at picking things out. He was also


    caught and sent to the prison in Yamen for a period of time, leaving the criminal record. Thus he was


    found by the secret guards. "


    Yun Shang widened her eyes in astonishment, "Why didn''t you tell me such an important detail? If you


    had mentioned something rted to me, I would have been on my guard. I wouldn''t have been set up


    by him so easily... "


    "I think this matter has nothing to do with the Cao n. It was about five or six years ago, and it seems


    unnecessary to mention it," replied Luo Qingyan.


    Yun Shang sighed, "All right then. Mister Mingyi had a deep affection for Cao Yi. He even wanted to


    exchange himself with Cao YI. The secret he told about the Cao mansion has nothing to do with Cao


    Yi. I have promised him that I will find a way to keep Cao Yi alive. Actually, as long as Cao Yi is alive,


    he would have no other weakness in my hand, and I''m afraid he wouldn''t reveal anything, anyway.


    Just let it be."


    Luo Qingyan nodded, and then he turned to Yun Shang, "Are you really willing to spare Cao Yi''s life?


    After all, he is behind all this. "


    "Of course I will keep my promise, but it doesn''t matter. What Mister Mingyi wanted was only to keep


    Cao Yi alive. But there is another kind of life in the world, which is worse than death.

    "Besides, Cao Han doesn''t want to kill Cao Yi, so in fact, we just do nothing."


    Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Luo Qingyan couldn''t helpughing, "If Mister Mingyi knew it, I''m afraid he


    would regret.


    By the way, what is the secret that Mister Mingyi used to exchange with you for Cao Yi''s life?"


    Yun Shang smiled and said, "Actually, it''s not a big deal. Mister Mingyi just said that after years of


    business, Cao Zhou has umted countless wealth, but most of these wealth has disappeared. If


    we can find thatrge amount of disappeared wealth, we will know the most important secrets about


    the Cao n. "


    "Cao Zhou''s money should have been given to Cao Wenxi, or Xia Houjing enabling Xia Houjing to


    recruit troops and buy horses to overthrow the State of Xia, right?"


    Yun Shang shook her head, "I asked him the same question at that time, but I didn''t mention Wenxi.


    We just talked about the incident in Changting Garden. At that time, the old master of the Cao n was


    on Xia Houjing''s side, and that was why he was executed by me. Since the Cao n was loyal to Xia


    Houjing, they must have supplied him the money so that he could seize the throne. However, Mister


    Mingyi denied it. He said that the Cao n''s ambition was probably more than that. And all the money


    from the n was not given to Xia Houjing. "


    Luo Qingyan frowned, "What did he mean... The Cao n was more ambitious than that? Is it possible


    that the Cao n wants to overthrow the State of Xia by themselves and support the Cao n to


    establish an Cao dynasty? "


    Yun Shang burst intoughter and said, "Let''s not talk about anything else. Don''t you think that the Cao


    Dynasty is too unpleasant to hear?"


    "Oh... It''s unpleasant to hear, so they can''t seed just because the name is so unpleasant to hear. "


    Yun Shang''s smile widened, "Yes, your majesty. You can do whatever you want. If you say they can''t


    make it, they can''t make it."


    "Of course," Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "After all, the Cao family is indeed very rich, but my


    Empress is not necessarily worse than they. Besides, the Cao n doesn''t have an empress as smart


    as my Empress. With this, they can never defeat me. "


    Yun Shang nced at Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Majesty, your words of love are getting more and


    more sweet now. Have you hired someone to teach you? I remember that your majesty was not like


    this before... "


    Luo Qingyan nodded seriously, "Yes. Why not? I''ve read a lot of scripts about it. And I have almost


    memorized all the sweet words on the script. "


    Yun Shang burst intoughter again...
