Wang Wanzhi's face was still calm: "Perhaps, Mr. Cao thinks he has read people's hearts. If he mentions this again next time, I will deal with him carefully."
Yun Chang nodded: "You have always acted in a proper way, so you can figure it out."
Left and right, Cao Han may not be able to hang around in front of her eyes for a long time.
As Yunshang said, she unfolded the note and took a look, and it was exactly as Luo Qingyan expected. There were more than a dozen places written on the note, and the house was marked in the name of whom it was purchased, and when it was purchased. , who is the real owner.
Yun Chang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed. She and His Majesty thought that Cao Han would create seven or eight places to disperse the hidden guards, but they didn't expect that Cao Han is so powerful. Where are the seven or eight places? They are already close Twenty places
The Cao family really think highly of them.
Yun Chang glanced at it casually, and then put the note on the imperial case: "Okay, after tomorrow morning, you tell Cao Han that I already know about it and have discussed it carefully with His Majesty. Around Haishi tomorrow, I will The palace and His Majesty will arrange secret guards to investigate these more than ten places, let him circle around the Cao Mansion carefully, and don't let the Cao family find out the clues."
Wang Wanzhi took down Yun Shang's words carefully, and retreated in response.
When Luo Qingyan returned to Taiji Hall, Yunshang talked about the matter with Luo Qingyan.
"Haishi?" Luo Qingyan was a little surprised: "It's already night at Haishi, and the city has a curfew. At this time?"
Yun Shang naturally understood the meaning of Luo Qingyan's words, and just nodded: "Xia Houjing was outside, and he must have huddled up to avoid the limelight a while ago, today is the best opportunity, and he will definitely try to contact his people. The aides of the court, the internal staff of the court, etc., come to discuss important matters."
"Most of the officials in the court are under the surveillance of His Majesty and his concubines. If several adults do not return at night at the same time, it will definitely arouse our suspicion. Therefore, Xia Houjing will definitely choose a place, and he can still stay in a dignified place after the curfew. It's there, but it doesn't arouse suspicion."
A cunning flashed in Yunshang's eyes: "Your Majesty said, what kind of place is this place?"
"The brothel?"
Yun Shang hooked her lips and smiled: "Yes, brothel."
"The brothel is a good place. There are many brothels in the city. Xiahou Jing will definitely feel that even if we guess what he is thinking, we will definitely not know where he is. It is impossible for us to check one by one."
"However, he probably wouldn't think of it anyway, and we wouldn't investigate at all. Although the time chosen by the concubine was Haishi, it was also the busiest time for brothels and brothels, and this kind of dusty place, There are all three teachings and nine streams, and if something happens, it can definitely spread quickly."
"Besides, I feel that although it is night, but because the city is very quiet at night, once something happens, any movement is made, in this quietness, it will be more abrupt and more likely to attract attention. .”
Luo Qingyan nodded: "Alright, then do it according to your method."
At night, the dark guards were sent out early, leaving only a dozen or so people standing guard near the Tai Chi Hall.
Yun Shang asked someone to set up the chessboard, and played against Luo Qingyan.
"Your Majesty has been busy all day long. During the time when my concubine moved to the Taiji Hall, I never saw anyone playing chess with you. How could your majesty not have retreated in the chess skills? I felt a bit awkward after not playing chess for a while. Overwhelmed."
Luo smiled softly: "Probably because, although I don't play chess with others on weekdays, I play chess in my mind every day."
"Huh?" Are you playing chess in your mind every day
"The check and balance between the DPRK and China, and the disputes between countries, to me, are all chess games. If you make a wrong move, you will lose everything."
Yun Chang understood the meaning of his words, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes."
Holding the teapot, Liu Wen'an poured tea for the emperor and empress, glanced at the hourglass on the bookshelf, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, empress, it's Haishi."
Hai time
Yun Chang turned her eyes and glanced at the hourglass, but it was indeed the hour of the day.
I don't know what's going on outside.
Yun Chang was thinking about it, when she heard Qianzhuo asking outside the door: "Ma'am, it's Hai time, do your Majesty and Madam take a bath?"
Yun Chang nodded: "Bring the water in."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and said softly to Luo: "If Xia Houjing is really poisoned outside, there will be news soon, and there should be something in the morning at the latest. We don't have to wait."
"Well..." Luo Qingyan nodded: "What the empress said is very true."
Immediately, he straightened himself up and said towards the door: "Ask people to prepare more water and put it in the soup pool behind."
"Huh?" Yun Shang turned her head to look at Luo and said softly.
Luo Qing said solemnly: "The soup pool is bigger, it is already cold in the morning and evening, your body is always weak, soaking in the soup pool more will be good for your health."
"..." If she hadn't seen the light in Luo Qingyan's eyes, Yun Shang would have believed it.
Qianzhuo outside the door had already retreated in response, Yunshang snorted coldly and remained silent.
After a while, the palace servants carried the water into the hall, Luo Qingyan saw that the water was almost ready, and brought Yun Chang into the back hall.
The palace people were packing up and arranging their things and preparing to leave, Luo Qingyan bent down to test the water temperature, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw a light flashing by the edge of the soup pool.
Luo Qingyan frowned, and almost subconsciously pulled Yunshang forward.
Yun Shang was completely unprepared for Luo Qingyan, and staggered and fell directly into the water.
Yun Chang had been calculated by him once before, but this time the reaction was extremely fast, and he quickly stood up from the edge of the soup pool.
Just as he was about to speak angrily, he saw a dagger suddenly in the hand of the palace man who was cleaning the bucket by the pool, and he was already wrestling with Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang immediately realized what happened just now, and just slapped the edge of the soup pool suddenly, jumped up, pulled out the hairpin on top of her head, and rushed over.
The dark guards had also been alarmed and rushed to rescue him.
It's just that the martial arts of those few palace people are not low, they ignore the other hidden guards, and only focus on rushing towards Yunshang and Luo Qingyan. Yunshang and Luo Qingyan just kept backing away because they came in to take a bath and didn't have any handy weapons on them.
Fortunately, the hidden guards reacted very quickly, even though there were so many people, they quickly subdued the assassin.
Luo Qingyan was about to order people to be pulled down for interrogation, but saw that the complexions of the palace servants were all black, bleeding from the seven orifices, and they fell down quickly.
"Dead man."
Luo lightly frowned, raised his head and ordered the palace servants: "Clean up this place."
As soon as the words fell, a sharp sound suddenly sounded outside, like the sound of fireworks rising into the sky.
"Your Majesty, someone is sending a signal in the palace."
