An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1259 A Shadowy Situation

Yun Shang felt a little relieved because of Luo Qingyan's attitude.

She always trusted Luo Qingyan for no reason, as if she was willing to believe whatever he said.

Because of this, Yun Shang felt that it was not a big deal as Luo Qingyan didn't seem to take it

seriously.

"Mingyi probably really have deep affection for Cao Yi. Therefore, what he said in order to protect Cao

Yi's life is most likely true. Although your majesty didn't take the Cao clan too seriously, you couldn't

just ignore it. Your majesty, you'd better find out where Cao Zhou's money has gone. "

Luo Qingyan nodded with a gentle smile, "Okay, I know. Don't worry. I'll send someone to investigate."

Yun Shang was finally relieved. "Your Majesty, are you going to have a rest? I'll go out and ask the

servants to bring some hot water in. We'd better ask some servants to serve in the bedroom in the

future. It's not convenient if no one is around. "

Luo Qingyan chuckled, "I'm okay with it. But I'm just afraid that you'll be shy."

"What?" Yun Shang didn't respond for a moment, "Shy? Why will I be shy? "

Luo Qingyan didn't answer, but stared at Yun Shang with a smile.

Yun Shang suddenly understood why Luo Qingyan said so.

Yun Shang couldn't help but blush. She gave Luo Qingyan a stare and walked out of the bedroom

quickly.

After Yun Shang went out, the smile on Luo Qingyan's face gradually disappeared.

The flow of the money of the Cao clan should be carefully investigated, but Yun Shang really trusted

him. There were too many things happening recently, and almost all the secret guards had been sent

out.

Even half of his guards had been sent away, so he couldn't find anyone to investigate this matter.

Luo Qingyan pressed his lips. He didn't want Yun Shang to worry too much, so he pretended to be

calm and agreed. But he had to wait for a few more days, until the other things were settled and the

secret guards were back.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Since Yun Shang's health was damaged, she had become

much weaker, and her tolerance to cold and heat was much less.

It was summer now and she felt sweat all over her body. Fortunately, there were many pots filled with

ice in the hall, and from time to time, the imperial kitchen would send some cold soup, vegetables and

fruits, so she barely felt too uncomfortable. But she really didn't want to go out to expose in the

scorching sunshine, so Yun Shang left Weiyang Palace much less frequently. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The low chirp of cicadas outside made her more and more irritable. Qian Zhuo handed Yun Shang a

plate of iced bayberries and reported, "Your majesty, the other day when you left the Imperial Library,

you have sent some secret guard to keep an eye on the person on the list handed over by Steward

Zhou. And they really found out something..."

"Those people didn't believe what Steward Zhou's confidant said. As your majesty expected, they

gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The secret guards got some information from their

conversation. "

"Those people said that Steward Wang didn't trust them completely and kept many things from them.

They really didn't know who he was working for. They always saw some new things from outside the

palace at Steward Wang's place. Some of them look delicate and valuable. "

"A servant said that when something happened to the Xiangyi Palace and Steward Wang, she

remembered some details that had been ignored before. For example, Steward Wang always got those

new items not long after he went to the Xiangyi Palace every time."

"Before, there were many maters in the palace before. It was not easy for Steward Wang to go to the

Xiangyi Palace, so it was not obvious. Later, after your majesty asked Lady Li to help with the imperial

household affairs, Steward Wang began to frequently go to the Xiangyi Palace under the excuse of

reporting the affairs of Imperial Library. From then, she got more novel items. "

"Some servants said when the Xiangyi Palace asked for some books, Steward Wang would sometimes

ask them to send books there. When a servant went to deliver a book there, he accidentally fell and the

book also fell to the ground. He saw a note in it. "

"He saw the content at a glance, but it was written with something that he couldn't understand. He only

remembered one of the words, which seemed to be... The Dragon Mountains?"

Yun Shang suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Did they hear it right? Is it really the Dragon

Mountains? "

Qian Yin was also stunned by Yun Shang's reaction. After a while, she nodded slightly and said, "The

secret guards said they heard it clearly. I guess they didn't hear it wrong. The servant said that he

recognized the handwriting of Steward Wang, but he just thought that it might be the records and labels

that Steward Wang had made for the book, so he didn't care about it and just put the note back. "

Yun Shang pursed her lips. If she had heard the Dragon Mountains before, she wouldn't have cared

much about it. But not long ago, she had found the map in the Xiangyi Palace, and Luo Qingyan also

said that the marks on the map were very close to the Dragon Mountains of the State of Xia, so she

had to associate the two things.

"Those servants also said that when Lady Li was in trouble, steward Wang had been very anxious for a

period of time, and he had sent them to inquire about Lady Li. However, the Xiangyi Palace had been

guarded, and no one could get close to it, and no one could find out what was going on inside."

Yun Shang nodded. She had specially sent someone to guard it, so of course they couldn't find

anything out.

Perhaps it was because Steward Wang couldn't get any information, so she sent the maid who said

that Lady Li was her saver.

Yun Shang pursed her lips slightly. So who was the one behind Steward Wang and Lady Li?

Why did the one tell Lady Li about the Dragon Mountains? Where did the map come from? What did

that place mean?

What role did lady Li play in this matter?

Yun Shang became more and more suspicious. She couldn't figure out the reason for a long time. She

just sat straight, frowned, and thought over and over again, 'Is there any detail that I've ignored?'

Yun Shang took a bayberry from the plate and put it into her mouth. Maybe she should go to ask

Steward Wang.
