Yun Chang was startled, Concubine Min? Yun Shang is a little unfamiliar with this name.
Seeing this, Qin Yi knew what Yun Shang was thinking, and quickly said, "Concubine Min died early, and it is normal for the princess not to know Concubine Min. Concubine Min and Concubine Ming are sisters. Concubine Min was married when the first emperor was the prince Following the crown prince, she is the crown prince's side concubine, but because she never gave birth to a son and a half for the late emperor, the Li family sent Concubine Ming to the palace shortly after the late emperor ascended the throne. Later, Concubine Ming became pregnant, and did not know What happened, Concubine Min suddenly became seriously ill, and she was only twenty-five years old when she died. Concubine Min was overly sad for a while, and the child in her stomach could not be kept. At that time, many people praised the two of them as sisters. "
Yunshang pursed her lips, "Sisters love each other deeply, how can there be any sisters in this harem?" Yunshang lay on the soft couch, thinking about these things carefully, what happened between those two people back then, what happened now? There is no way to verify it, but it is obvious that someone put the people in front of Concubine Min beside him, maybe he guessed that there was no old man beside him, so he was not very clear about these things, and he couldn't think of where to go.
After being silent for a while, Yun Shang raised her eyes and asked softly, "Where are those two working?"
Qin Yi lowered her eyes and said, "Those two people are both old, but they have been in the palace for many years and are very familiar with the palace rules, so they arranged to teach the maids in the side courtyard."
"Oh?" Yun Shang squinted her eyes, but it was a very easy job to buy people's hearts.
"Princess, how do you deal with those two people?" Qin Yi asked softly, with a bit of guilt in her heart, most of the people in the Hall of Pure Heart were being disciplined by her, and it was all because she didn't know people clearly, which made those two people fish in troubled waters Getting in here almost made a big mistake. If she had to decide, she would definitely let those two people die without a place to bury them.
Yunshang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since he is an old man in the palace, and he is also someone close to Concubine Min, he must know a lot, and I am afraid that he has some means, otherwise he will It won't gain the trust of the Li family. Qian Yin first arrested the two of them and handed them over to Ning Qian to wait on. Didn't Ning Qian have been studying the method of interrogation, and didn't know how effective it was, so she asked the two of them to try it out. Tried it."
When Qianyin heard this, a light suddenly appeared in her eyes, "That's good, the boss is worried that there is no suitable person to experiment with her, and the nuns who came out of the palace must be tight-lipped, otherwise they would not survive." Now, it is quite appropriate."
"Then you go and do it." Seeing her impatient look, Yun Shang couldn't help chuckling twice, and let her go.
After Qian Yin left the door, Yun Shang raised her eyes to Qin Yi and said, "Qin Yi, go and find out, Li Fuyi, what have you been doing recently..."
Qin Yi didn't know why Yun Shang thought of this, but she didn't ask, nodded, and retreated.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips, and suddenly remembered that Li Fuyi was also the queen's sister, and she didn't know if the two of them were really sisters.
Li Fuyi has been serving Ming Dowager's side recently, helping Ming Dowager to copy scriptures all day long, and accompanying her to chant the Buddha's name. Listening to Qianyin's report, Yunshang couldn't help showing a somewhat cold smile. The women in Li's mansion are not vegetarians. Li Fuyi is also a smart person, he stays far away from those struggles, but his fear has never been far away. Concubine Ming has been in the harem much longer than the empress, so she naturally knows a lot. If Li Fuyi flatters her, she will definitely learn a lot from her.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, "Which concubines did my father go to spend the night this month, and how many times have I been there?"
Qin Yi was stunned, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her calm and calm appearance was instantly destroyed, "Princess, you haven't left the cabinet yet, it's really a bit...not good to ask about these things."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked over, "I have other functions, don't think too much about it."
Qin Yi had no choice but to search according to her wishes, "This month, the emperor spends most of his time resting alone in the Qinzheng Hall. One day, nothing else."
Yun Chang nodded, look, even though Li Fuyi was with Concubine Ming every day, he still took one day out of the five days that his father entered the harem, which is not too much. sad.
Yun Shang thought for a moment, then asked Qin Yi to wait in plain palace attire, and walked towards Changchun Palace.
Sure enough, Li Fuyi was in Changchun Palace, when Yun Chang went, she was also dressed very simply and elegantly, with only a silver hairpin on her hair, she was concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures.
Concubine Ming sat aside and closed her eyes to meditate. There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the hall.
"Princess Huiguo is here." Nanny Yu who was beside Concubine Ming saw her, and said softly to Concubine Ming.
Concubine Ming opened her eyes and looked towards Yunshang. Yunshang smiled and bowed, "The weather is getting warmer, and Chang'er is a bit lazy. I just drank the sour plum soup and felt that the sour The sweet taste is very good, the empress dowager will definitely like it, and then I remembered that Chang'er had not had a good life to greet the empress dowager, so I sent some sour plum soup to the empress dowager."
Yun Shang turned around and took the food box from Qin Yi's hand, and Nanny Yu quickly took it.
Seeing that Concubine Ming didn't seem to have the intention to open it, Yunshang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Fumei is also in the Changchun Palace. Is Fumei copying Buddhist scriptures?"
Fumei raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Yunshang, she put down her pen, "Yes, my concubine doesn't like to join in the fun, but fortunately the empress dowager took her in, so she hid here to be quiet."
Yun Shang smiled when she heard the words, and was about to ask her about the queen again when she heard Dowager Ming's voice, "The Ai family heard that it was Prince Jing's birthday a few days ago, and you stayed at Prince Jing's mansion for two days?"
Yun Chang froze for a moment, lowered her eyes and nodded.
"Although you are engaged to Prince Jing, you still haven't married. You have to be cautious about your reputation. In the future, you should meet Prince Jing less often." Concubine Ming said calmly, like a serious elder.
Yun Chang quickly responded, "What the concubine taught me is that Chang'er knows."
"The one who came to see Ai's family today is to deliver sour plum soup to Ai's family?" Concubine Ming's eyes fixed on Yun Shang, but she didn't show any emotion.
Yun Chang thought for a while, and then said, "Originally, this matter was just a trivial matter. You shouldn't bother the empress dowager, but the empress dowager is in charge of the harem now, but she should know about it. Chang'er came back yesterday and listened to the report from the maid below." , two people were missing in the palace. Chang'er ordered people to search all possible places, but they couldn't find them. Yunshang sent someone to the House of Internal Affairs to ask, and those two people were also old people in the palace. Uh, the emperor's grandfather's concubine Min Gui used to serve there, everyone in Shang'er Palace has low seniority, and they don't have much impression of Concubine Min, so Chang'er can't make up her mind, so I came here to tell Concubine Dowager."
Yun Chang's eyes fell on Concubine Ming's hand that suddenly clenched the armrest of the chair, and a sneer flashed in her heart.
"Oh? Missing? Why didn't you disappear?" After a while, Concubine Ming finally spoke, her voice was as indifferent as before.
Yun Chang gritted her teeth and hesitated. Seeing this, Concubine Ming whispered, "Princess?"
Only then did Yun Shang seem to come back to her senses suddenly, her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were still a bit panicked, "It's a bit strange to say this, Chang'er grew up in Buddhism since she was a child, and she still believes in ghosts and gods. It's just that I'm afraid the empress dowager will be very suspicious, so Chang'er dare not say anything."
"Don't dare to say?" Concubine Ming raised her eyebrows, but her expression was paused, and she smiled after a while, "If the princess feels scared, then let the maid beside you say it."
Hearing this, Qin Yi quickly raised her eyes to look at Concubine Ming, her complexion was a little pale, but it made Concubine Ming slightly startled, and she also felt a little hesitant.
Yun Shang sighed, "You know the things reported by those maids the most, so let me tell you." This was said to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi bit her lips when she heard the words, knelt down, her eyes seemed to be a little red, and after a while she said softly, "Reporting to Empress Dowager, those two people were found missing yesterday morning, the princess was not in the palace the day before yesterday At night, the ladies of the court were scattered for a while, and at night when it was time to light the lamps, they gathered together to talk and talk, but they saw the two palace maids quietly leaving the palace gate with the lamps. Almost all the maids were there. Teach me, the relationship is pretty good on weekdays, so I became curious, wanted to see what the two of them were doing, and played tricks on the way, but let them see... see... "
Qin Yi seemed to be in a trance when she was deep in thought, as if she was frightened, Concubine Ming's complexion became a little ugly, she patted the armrest of the chair and said, "What did you see, tell me..."
Qin Yi hurriedly said, "The servants only listened to what other palace people said, saying that they saw the two people go to a bamboo forest next to the courtyard where the night incense was harvested in the west, and the two of them brought out wine and meat and set them up, and burned them again. I read some papers, and kept chanting about the grievances and the debtors. The two of them were just following other people's orders. I hope the imperial concubine will forgive them and stop pestering them. Then, Those maidservants who followed saw white clothes flickering in the bamboo forest, and there appeared... ghost fire..."
Concubine Ming's complexion was a little pale, and she seemed to be getting paler and paler. Yun Shang smiled coldly in her heart, but said with a bit of fear on her face, "Those court ladies were frightened, and quickly ran away I went back to Qingxin Hall, but those two nuns never appeared again."
Yun Shang frowned, seeming a little annoyed, "Worshiping in the palace is a taboo, and the people in Chang'er's palace violated such a taboo, and Chang'er was not strict with his orders, and he was very negligent, so he never dared to report it. Until the maids told what happened that night, Chang'er sent someone to investigate the bamboo grove. There were indeed traces of worship, and the burnt paper ash was still stained with blood. Chang'er felt that something was a little strange. , so I hurried to report to the empress dowager..."
