Chapter 1355 Something Unusual


    Qian Zhuo submitted the statements. Yun Shang looked through them one by one carefully. Then she


    moved her fingers and ordered, "Go and ask the maid called Qin Yue and the wet nurse of the Crown


    Prince toe here. Let theme here separately and I''ll interrogate them one by one. "


    Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry. After a while, she brought in the wet nurse.


    Yun Shang''s eyes fell on the wet nurse. She and Luo Qingyan had spent a lot of time and energy


    finding this wet nurse. She had been trusting her very much.


    "I just read your confession. You said that when you bathed the Crown Prince yesterday, you found that


    his clothes were scratched, and a piece of cloth was missing. And a mole suddenly appeared on his


    arm?"


    The wet nurse nodded and replied, "Yes."


    "Why didn''t you tell me?"


    The wet nurse hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I saw a piece of cloth missing from his Highness''


    clothes, but I didn''t take it seriously. The Crown Prince is practicing horsemanship, and he is usually


    lively. His clothes are often scratched by branches, or he would exert too much strength when


    practicing martial arts. Thus it''s normal for him that his clothes were torn broken. Usually, I don''t dare to


    disturb your majesty for such a small matter."


    "Then how about the mole on his Highness'' body?"


    The wet nurse looked a little flustered, "It was tootest night. I nned to report it to your majesty


    this morning, but justst night, the Crown Prince suddenly had a fever and called for an imperial


    physician. Thinking of this, I asked the imperial physician for the mole. "


    "The imperial physician said that His highness crown prince is three years old, and it''s normal for a


    three- year- old child to asionally have one or two moles. As long as it''s not a sudden appearance


    of many moles, or the moles are getting bigger and festering around, it doesn''t matter.


    Since the imperial physician said so, I thought I was making a big fuss about such a trifle. Thus I didn''t


    report it to you."


    Yun Shang tapped the table with her fingers. After a while, she said, "well, I believe you."


    The wet nurse hurriedly bowed to Yun Shang. Yun Shang''s hand, which was knocking on the table,


    paused for a moment, and then asked, "Besides you, who else is the closest person to his highness


    Crown Prince?"


    "Your Majesty, I am mainly responsible for the Crown Prince'' diet and daily life, and there is a maid


    named Qin Yue. She was promoted by Qian Liu when she served in the East Pce. She has taken


    care of the Crown Prince with me. Apart from diet and daily life, his highness'' practicing martial arts


    and calligraphy is looked after by another two eunuchs. One is called Spring, and the other, Autumn. "


    Yun Shang thought for a while and then asked, "Who served the Crown Prince on his way back from


    the birthday partyst night?"


    "It''s Qin Yue."


    "Have the two eunuchs served the Crown Prince after he returned to the East Pce?"


    The wet nurse thought about it carefully and shook her head, "It''s a littlete when his highness Crown


    Prince came back to the East Pce. He just had some midnight snack and yed for a while. Then


    he took a bath and rested."


    "How about the midnight snack?"


    The wet nurse thought for a while and said, "His highness ate a little more than usual. Maybe it was


    because his highness didn''t eat much at the banquet."


    Yun Shang nodded and asked, "How is the maid named Qin Yue taking care of the Crown Prince?"


    The wet nurse lowered her head and replied, "Quite wholeheartedly.


    Qin Yue was a new maid and she came after the Crown Prince moved to the East Pce. She is


    steady and reserved. She is only seventeen years old but she has been in the pce for more than five


    years. She takes good care of his highness.


    When his highness Crown Prince just came to the East Pce, he was only two years old. Although he


    could speak clearly, he was too young to express many things. But Qin Yue seemed to know what the


    Crown Prince wanted and what he wanted to express. And every time she guessed correctly, so the


    Crown Prince liked her very much. After Qian Liu came to the East Pce, she observed her for some


    while. And she promoted her to be a first-ss maid to serve the Crown Prince personally. "


    Yun Shang nodded, "Okay, I see. You can leave now."


    The wet nurse responded. Although she was still quite confused, she knew well what she could ask


    and what she could not. After all, she had been taking care of Chengye for three years. Thus, she just


    lowered her head and left.


    "Bring the maid named Qin Yue here."


    After a while, Qian Zhuo brought a maid into the room. Yun Shang looked at her for a while, and felt


    that she had an impression of her.


    Chengye lived in the East Pce. Although she seldom went there, she had met all the servants


    around him.


    However, as these people were all selected by Luo Qingyan after many tests, she felt relieved and did


    not pay more attention to them.


    Yun Shang looked at the maid called Qin Yue for a while and then asked, "Your name is Qin Yue?"


    "Yes, your majesty. I, Qin Yue, pay respects to the Empress."


    Yun Shang nodded, her eyes still fixed on her face, "I just heard that you had found something unusual


    after the Crown Prince returned to the East Pcest night? How was it unusual? "


    "After his highness Crown Prince returned to the East Pce, he ate something. I noticed that he ate


    more than usual. We had prepared some mung bean soup and peach blossom cakesst night. The

    Crown Prince prefers to drink mung bean soup, but he seldom eats peach blossom cakes. Last night,


    however, his highness refused to drink the mung bean soup after drinking a few mouthfuls. On the


    contrary, he ate more peach blossom cakes.


    Later, his highness yed with his toys. I found that he didn''t love his favorite nine serial ring and


    seven-piece puzzle very much this time. Instead, he liked the tiger puppet that had been left aside for


    some time."


    Yun Shang stared at Qin Yue and then asked, "Since you have found so many abnormal phenomena,


    why didn''t you report them?"


    "I didn''t think they were abnormal at that moment. After all, children are unpredictable. They might like


    this today, and they might like that tomorrow. It was not until when your majesty asked us to recall what


    was unusual with his highness Crown Prince that I remembered all these. "


    There seemed to be nothing wrong with her answer.


    Yun Shang rubbed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand casually. After a moment of silence, she


    asked, "Did you go back to the East Pce with the Crown Prince after leaving the Taiji Pcest


    night?"


    "Yes, your majesty."


    "Anything happened on the way?"


    Qin Yue thought for a while and then said, "Halfway there, when we were walking outside the Huixiang


    Pce, his highness seemed to see something and suddenly ran towards the rockery beside the


    pce.


    As his highness ran too fast and it was dark at that time, his highness disappeared from my sight for a


    moment. His highness only walked a few steps away, but he kept answering my questions. Later, I


    caught up and found his highness. I asked him what he was looking for. His highness said that he had


    seen a cat and chased after it, but it disappeared again.


    I said it was toote, and I persuaded his highness to look for it again in the daytime. His highness


    agreed and went back to the East Pce with me."
