"Dead?" Yun Chang was stunned: "I just left not long ago, and the person disappeared? Why didn't I?"
"After the empress left, he turned around and sat motionless facing the corner. We looked through the dark window several times, but we didn't find anything unusual. It wasn't until about an hour later that we brought him food in. It turns out that the person is gone.”
"It was suicide. I used a hairpin. The hairpin pierced directly into the Baihui acupoint, and I died quietly."
Yun Shang frowned even tighter: "He committed suicide with a hairpin? Where did the hairpin come from? When he was imprisoned in a private prison, didn't everything on him have been searched? Didn't even the clothes Have the hidden guards been replaced?"
"Yes." The hidden guard lowered his head and took out a hairpin from his sleeve: "This hairpin should belong to the empress, but at some point, it was taken away by Mr. Mingyi."
Yun Chang's eyes fell on the dark guard's hand, and in the dark guard's hand was a silver hanging heart phoenix hairpin, which was indeed what she was wearing today.
Yun Chang raised her hand and touched the bun on the top of her head, and the hairpin really disappeared without a trace.
"When did he take it? I clearly never had physical contact with him before?"
Moreover, she has met this young master Mingyi several times, and she has not noticed how profound martial arts this young master Mingyi is.
Unless... this Mr. Mingyi's martial arts is much more advanced than hers, so she didn't notice it at all.
But it shouldn't be, besides her, Luo Qingyan has also been close to this Young Master Mingyi.
And if Mr. Mingyi is really that powerful in martial arts, how could he be caught and brought back so easily by them
Yun Shang took the hairpin and frowned tightly.
"When Mr. Mingyi was brought back, what did you bring with you? For example, a jade sachet or something else that would make people think of him when they saw it?"
The dark guard thought about it for a moment: "When Mr. Mingyi was brought back, he did have the jade pendant and sachet on his body. Besides, he was also carrying a jade wrench in his hand. Look at the fineness of the jade wrench. , it seems to be very precious."
Yun Chang nodded lightly: "You ask someone to take one of these things to Cao's mansion, put it on the table in Cao Yi's study, and then lie in ambush nearby, carefully observing Cao Yi's reaction. "
Since she promised that Mr. Mingyi would try to save Cao Yi's life, she would naturally do what she said.
It's just that before saving him, you can also use this matter to frighten him.
"yes."
Waiting for Luo Qingyan to come to Weiyang Palace in the evening, Yun Shang talked to him about it, but Luo Qingyan didn't have much surprise on his face: "Did I forget to tell you before, that Mr. Mingyi was reduced to the bottom of the palace?" Before Fengchenzhishou, he used to be a thief? And he was very proficient at picking things out of pockets. He was caught and sent to the prison for a period of time in the yamen, leaving a criminal record. Only then was the hidden guard found out .”
Yun Chang's eyes widened in astonishment: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter? If you mentioned a word or two to me, I also know that I should be on guard a little bit, and I wouldn't let it go so easily. I was plotted against by him..."
"I thought that this matter and this matter had nothing to do with the Cao family, and it was already about five or six years ago. It seemed that there was no need to mention it, so I didn't mention it."
Yun Shang sighed: "Forget it, Mr. Mingyi has a deep affection for Cao Yi. Even if he exchanged chips with me, the secrets about Cao's mansion have nothing to do with Cao Yi. I have already agreed that he will Try to save Cao Yi's life, as long as Cao Yi is alive, he will have no other weakness for me to catch, and I'm afraid he won't reveal anything."
"So be it."
Luo Qingyan nodded, but turned his head to look at Yunshang: "Are you really willing to spare Cao Yi's life? After all, he ordered this matter from behind."
"Of course what I promised will count, but it doesn't matter. What Mr. Mingyi wants is to save Cao Yi's life, but there is still a kind of life in this world, which is that life is better than death."
"Besides, Cao Han didn't want Cao Yi's life at all, so in fact, I didn't do anything."
When Luo Qingyan heard Yun Shang say this, he couldn't help laughing again: "If Mr. Mingyi knows, I'm afraid he will regret it."
"By the way, what is the secret that Mr. Mingyi exchanged Cao Yi's life with you?"
Yun Shang smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. Mr. Mingyi just said that Cao Zhou has accumulated countless wealth in business for several years, but more than half of this wealth has disappeared without a trace. He said that if he can find the large amount of money that disappeared Wealth, you will be able to know the most important secrets about the Cao family."
"Shouldn't all the money Cao Zhou earned be given to Cao Wenxi, or Xia Houjing, to recruit soldiers and overthrow the country of Xia?"
Yun Shang shook her head: "I asked him the same thing at the time, but I didn't mention Cao Wenxi. I just said that the old man of the Cao family was in Xia Houjing's camp during the Chang Ting Garden change, and it was precisely because of Only in this way will I be executed. Since the Cao family is loyal to Xia Houjing, most of the money was given to Xia Houjing so that he could seize the throne. But Mr. Mingyi denied it, saying that the Cao family’s ambitions may not exceed Here, the money from the Cao family has not been handed over to Xia Houjing."
Luo Qingyan frowned when he heard the words: "What do you mean... the Cao family's ambition is more than that? Could it be that the Cao family still wanted to plan their own affairs to destroy the country of Xia, and the people who supported the Cao family have not yet established a Cao family. towards?"
Yun Shang laughed out loud: "Not to mention anything else, this Cao Chao is too ugly, right?"
"Oh... It's quite ugly, so just because the name is so ugly, they can't succeed."
The smile in Yunshang's eyes was even stronger: "Yes, yes, what His Majesty says is what he says, and if His Majesty says they can't do it, then they can't do it."
"That's natural." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips: "After all, the Cao family is indeed very rich, but my queen is not necessarily inferior to them. Besides, the Cao family is not as rich as my empress. Wisdom Mistress, just relying on this, they definitely can't beat me."
Yun Shang only glanced at Luo Qingyan: "Your Majesty's love words are becoming more and more fluent now, but you hired someone to teach you? I remember, Your Majesty was not like this before..."
Luo Qingyan nodded solemnly: "Isn't it? I read a lot of playbooks for this purpose. I almost memorized all the love stories in the playbooks."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing again...
