"Princess, princess..." Qin Meng hurried into the Qingxin Hall, feeling extremely anxious, but seeing her master still asleep on the bed, she couldn't help but stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, stepped forward and lifted the quilt away, "Princess, Princess Yunshang, something is wrong!"

Yun Chang sighed, then slowly opened her eyelids, but closed them again, and said with a somewhat lazy voice, "What's the matter? What time are you coming to quarrel with the princess now? Huh?"

Qin dreamed that she was going to sleep again, and hurriedly said, "Princess, don't go to sleep, our Qingxin Palace is dead!"

"Huh?" Yun Chang froze when she heard the words, and pulled her eyes away, "Is someone dead? Who died? How did he die? Has someone from the Supervisory Office come?"

Qin dreamed that she finally woke up, and then hurriedly said, "It is the pandan that we swept the floor here that died. It is in the lake in front of our palace. It should have drowned. It was discovered by a passing palace lady this morning. ..." Qin Meng paused, biting her lip, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it.

Yun Shang said, "What else, say it!"

Qin Meng gritted her teeth and said, "When the servant girl passed by just now, I heard those court ladies talking about it. That Xianglan held your bracelet in her hand, and said it was your hand?"

"My princess's bracelet?" Yun Shang sat up, tilted her head and said, "Are you sure you haven't heard of it, it's not something else, just a bracelet?"

Qin Meng nodded, "The slaves must not have heard of it, they are talking about bracelets."

"It's a bracelet, and it was lost some time ago, princess, the bracelet you like to wear the most." Qin Yi's voice came from the door, and she was talking while entering the door.

When Yun Shang heard the words, a slight smile rose from the corner of her mouth, "Really? Then the princess has to go and get the bracelet back, it is my favorite bracelet."

Qin Meng stomped her feet when she heard the words, feeling a little resentful, "Princess, they all say that you are the murderer who killed Xianglan!"

Yun Shang turned her head and glanced at her, "How do you know it's not the princess? The princess's reputation has never been very good..."

Qin Meng glanced at her, with a bit of disdain in her eyes, "If someone said that the princess killed a servant in the past, they might still believe it, but now they don't believe it anyway. Besides, no matter how powerful and vicious you are, the princess, you are just a How can an eight-year-old child have the ability to kill people..."

Yun Chang nodded, stood up, and motioned for her to get dressed. Qin Meng was still immersed in her own thoughts and didn't react, but Qin Yi who was beside her shook her head, picked up the clothes and helped Yun Shang put them on.

"That's right, this princess is only eight years old, how can she have the ability to kill people? But you and Qin Yi are already old enough, it is still possible for two to kill one, so you must be my accomplices..." Yun Chang did not forget to tease Qin Meng.

Qin Meng shuddered, and looked at Yunshang in horror, "I don't dare to kill people, I don't even dare to kill chickens, how dare I kill people... Princess... I'm talking about business with you, what about Xianglan?" Death is a trivial matter, but so many people outside of them say that you are the murderer who killed Xianglan, if these words reach the ears of the emperor or queen, it will be a serious matter."

Yunshang was about to speak, when she heard someone's voice from outside the bedroom, "The servant is Xiao Zhengzi, the servant next to the empress, please ask Princess Yunshang to answer by Yanque Lake."

Yun Chang frowned, Qin Yi hurriedly walked to the door of the bedroom and raised the curtain to speak to the servant outside, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng Zi, for coming to pass the news. The princess is getting dressed, and she will be there soon."

Qin Meng quickly took it over to help Yunshang put on her clothes, and Yunshang left the dormitory. Xiao Linzi was waiting at the door of the dormitory. Who ran to report to the empress, yesterday was the fifteenth day, the emperor happened to be resting in the Qiwu Palace, when he heard about the incident, he rushed over together, and now they are all in the pavilion by the Yanque Lake."

Yun Shang nodded, "Got it." Then she turned her head and pouted to look at Qin Meng, "Look at you, Crow's mouth, just now you said that if the father or the mother knew about it, it would be a big deal, now it's okay Yes, both of them knew at the same time."

Qin Meng also had a mournful face, a little at a loss, "Princess, this servant didn't do it on purpose."

"Okay, okay, my princess didn't blame you, besides, I didn't do it in the first place, and I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting, so I can't be afraid of this princess?"

When Yun Shang brought Qin Yi and Qin Meng to the Yanque Lake, he saw the emperor and empress standing in the pavilion from a distance, and next to the empress and empress, there was a docile and docile Hua Jing. The white cloth covering the outside of the pavilion should be Xianglan's body, and beside the body is a man in Tsing Yi, judging by his attire, he should be a palace official.

Yunshang stepped forward and saluted the emperor and queen, "My daughter has met the queen."

The emperor nodded and said, pointing to the corpse covered in white cloth, "Get up, Chang'er, come and have a look, do you know this man?"

Yun Chang walked over, and that hand lifted a corner of the white cloth. Under the white cloth, there was a corpse that had been soaked a little, with a bluish white on its face. Yun Shang glanced timidly, then quickly retracted her gaze, and said repeatedly, "Shang'er doesn't recognize, who is this? It's scary..."

This time, it was Hua Jing who had been standing aside who answered Yun Shang, "Sister, you can see clearly, this is someone from your palace, why don't you know him?"

"In my palace?" Yun Shang turned her head to look at Qin Yi in confusion.

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Returning to the princess, she is a low-level court lady who cleans the yard in the palace. I think the princess didn't pay much attention, so I don't recognize it."

Yun Shang let out an "oh" before saying, "Except for a few maids and servants who are close to you, Chang'er has relatively little contact with others, and I don't bother to remember who they are, so I don't know them very well, but since Qin Yi If it’s from my palace, then that’s it. But why are the maids from my palace here...become like this?”

The emperor picked up an object from the stone table on the side, handed it to Yun Shang and said, "Wu Zuo just had the body examined, and the maid died of drowning, but the maid was holding some grass in her hand, and there were signs of struggle on the shore, I'm afraid Someone did it on purpose. By the way, Chang'er, look, do you recognize this bracelet?"

Yun Shang hurriedly took two steps forward to pick it up, looked at it carefully for a while before saying, "Hey, this bracelet looks a lot like the one you gave me a long time ago, Royal Father..."

"What does it look like? It's definitely the same... I've always seen you wearing this bracelet before, why don't you wear it today?" Hua Jing asked aggressively again.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to wear it anymore, it's just that the maid accidentally lost the pair of bracelets a while ago, so I didn't wear them."

"Yes, yes, it has been lost for some time, and the servants have searched the Qingxin Hall but can't find it." Qin Meng was afraid that her master would be misunderstood, so she hurriedly responded.

"The master is talking, why should the slave interrupt?" Hua Jing reprimanded with some displeasure.

"Sister's bracelet is probably lost, right?" Hua Jing snatched the bracelet and held it up, frowning tightly, "I found this bracelet from the dead maid this morning. When she found it, she would This bracelet is tightly pulled. Sister, tell me, why did you lose your bracelet by coincidence? How could it be found in the hands of a dead palace lady? Sister, you usually beat and scold the palace lady Yes, the queen mother and sister Huang are conniving, but you absolutely shouldn't, and you shouldn't have killed anyone... "
