An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1267 There Is No Clue

After Yun Shang dressing up properly, the stewards were already waiting outside.

Yun Shang stood up and left the bedroom to deal with today's affairs.

There was no important things today. After every steward reported, Yun Shang asked them to leave.

As soon as she got up and was about to go back to her bedroom to change into her daily clothes and

go out of the palace, she heard Pei Lan standing beside her saying, "Isn't that Cui Wei from Her

Former Majesty' palace?"

Yun Shang followed Pei Lan's gaze and saw a servant slowly walking towards them. She looked

familiar, and it seemed that she had indeed seen her in Taihe Palace yesterday.

Yun Shang sat back and said, "Bring her in."

The servant came in and bowed to Yun Shang. "Greetings, your majesty."

Yun Shang smiled. "Get up. What's wrong? Is there anything happened to Her Former Majesty? "

Cui Wei shook her head slightly and said, "Her Former Majesty asked me to tell your majesty that

Steward Wang from Imperial Library has.... been dead. "

Yun Shang was stunned as she didn't expect this to happen. "Dead? When did it happen? How did she

die? "

"Last night, the imperial physician came and said that it should have happened between midnight and 3

am. She was killed and her throat was cut directly."

Yun Shang felt a sharp pain in her throat, "Her throat was cut? Wasn't Steward Wang locked up in the

side hall of the Taihe Palace? The Taihe Palace was heavily guarded. How could no one notice it?

Besides, I saw someone guarding Steward Wang outside, right? "

"All the guards were killed, leaving no one alive."

Yun Shang loosened her grip on the handrail, "No one is alive? Isn't there any trace? "

After that, Yun Shang stood up again and said, "I'll go and have a look myself. Tell me more on the

way."

Cui Wei nodded and followed Yun Shang out of the main hall.

As soon as they walked out of the main hall, they saw Qian Zhuo coming over with two boxes in her

hands.

Qian Zhuo was surprised to see Yun Shang in a hurry. "Where are you going, your majesty? Aren't you

going out of the palace? "

"I'm afraid we can't get out of the palace today. Steward Wang from Imperial Library was killed last

night." Yun Shang stopped and said, "Send the gifts to Qian Yin and congratulate them for me."

"Yes." Qian Zhuo came back to her senses and watched Yun Shang walking out of Weiyang Palace.

When they arrived at the Taihe Palace, the maid took Yun Shang straight to the side hall. Many people

stood outside the side hall and greeted Yun Shang when they saw Yun Shang coming in.

Yun Shang ignored him and went straight in.

Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling were there, and there were also two people standing in front of Xia Huanyu.

One was Zhao Guang from the Imperial Hospital, and the other was Dai Tingyu, the deputy

commander of the imperial guards.

"Except for the fatal wound on her neck, there is no other wound on Wang Wenxiang's body. She died

without any trace of struggle. It was most likely that she was killed in her sleep." The imperial physician

reported.

"The guards only have a bleeding spot between their forehead and eyebrows. But from the wound, I

really don't know what killed them. The bleeding spot doesn't seem to be made by a sharp weapon..."

As soon as the imperial physician finished his words, the deputy commander continued, "I have sent

someone to look around carefully, but we haven't found any traces. It rained so heavily yesterday. Even

if there is really any trace, I'm afraid it has been washed away by the rain. "

"Although the guards usually patrol at night, they won't enter any palace. Last night, the rain was too

heavy, so they couldn't see anything clearly, and the patrolling guards didn't find anything either."

Xia Huanyu nodded. Seeing Yun Shang, he glanced at Yun Shang and waved his hand at them.

"Leave."

Yun Shang walked two steps forward to greet him. Xia Huanyu nodded, but said nothing.

"I want to go in and have a look. May I?"

Xia Huanyu glanced at Yun Shang and sneered, "You just came to see Steward Wang yesterday and

she died at night. Guess what will happen if you go in and check it today? "

As soon as Xia Huanyu finished his words, Hua Ling pulled his sleeve, turned around and smiled at

Yun Shang. "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. You can go in and have a look."

Yun Shang nodded and walked in.

In the side hall, there were eight corpses lying in disorder. As the imperial physician said, there was a

red dot between the eight people's eyebrows. Everything else looked as usual.

"Water." Yun Shang ordered.

Someone brought some water in a hurry. Yun Shang took out an embroidered handkerchief from her

sleeve and wetted it in the water. Then she picked up the wet handkerchief and wiped the blood stain

between their eyebrows.

After wiping the blood, a bean sized hole between the eyebrows could be seen, which was in a regular

oval shape.

Yun Shang frowned and looked at them carefully. There was no blood on their bodies except the

clotted blood between their eyebrows.

It was not strange at all. The position between the eyebrows was important. If one was slightly injured

by an external force here, he would be easily killed.

Yun Shang looked at the corpses and frowned slightly. From the positions of the corpses, their faces

were facing the door.

What was outside the door? Were they checking something?

Yun Shang stood up and went into the room where Steward Wang was imprisoned. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

There was still a stink in the room. Yun Shang frowned and looked around. It seemed to be the same

as yesterday when she came.

There was no bed in the room, and Steward Wang was dead on the ground.

However, just as the imperial physician said, she was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and

there was no expression of pain on her face. There was a wound on her neck and the blood flew all

over the ground. Several hours later, the blood had already seeped to the ground, leaving only the

brown stains.

Yun Shang walked to the corpse of Wang Wenxiang, looked down at it for a long time, and then turned

around and walked out.

Xia Huanyu was talking to Hua Ling. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and asked, "Have

you found anything?"

Yun Shang shook her head and said, "The wounds between the guards' eyebrows should have been

hit by something. From the shape, it should be a small round thing. And from the corpse layout, that

person should have walked in from the outside, and he should have made some noise to attract the

guards' attention."

"As for Wang Wenxiang..." Yun Shang pressed her lips and said, "She was lying on the ground when

she died, so it's difficult to tell the height of the murderer. The clues left at the scene... There is actually

no clue. "
