Ning Qian pondered for a while, and said again, "But they didn't bring the furniture here until the third day. I think someone has been involved in the plot, and they want to make something bad to Lin Youran, so the imperial household department has to make another set of furniture and send them here. On the one hand, they were afraid that we would find out the truth, so they sent the furniture to us in a hurry before the smell dissipated."
Yun Shang was also full of doubts. She thought for a while and turned to Qin Yi. She said, "Qin Yi, you go out of the palace and ask the coachman to take you to Qian Yin and find a reliable carpenter for us."
Qin Yi nodded her head and was about to go out. Ning Qian frowned and said, "but even if a carpenter has been found, this place is still a place where people can't come and go so easily..."
Qin Yi heard her words and stopped. She turned around to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang was silent for a moment before she looked around. Then she bent down and took out the dagger tied to her leg. She thought for a moment, and made a big carved wood from under the bed curtain. She took it out and handed it to Qin Yi. It had a length of about a foot. "Be careful. Take this thing out of the palace. Qian Yin will find a carpenter for you. Ask the carpenter have a look at the wood and see if there is anything wrong with it."
Qin Yi answered yes, took the wood and looked around. Then she took a rope from the side and tied the wood to her thigh. She bowed to Yun Shang and said, "I'll go now."
Yun Shang nodded her head, took
inner yet?"
Ning Qian shook her head and went up to the emperor, "I've arranged for some food. Your majesty, what would you like to eat?"
"I want nothing special to eat. How about Prince Rui? What do you want to eat?" Turning around, Xia Huanyu looked at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and said softly, "make some osmanthus cakes."
On hearing this, Ning Qian quietly turned around to look at Yun Shang, and, with a smile on her face, ordered her servants to do as the Prince Rui said.
Xia Huanyu walked to a chair nearby and sat down. Taking a look at the three of them who were still standing, he asked, "sit down. Why do you stand there?"
After the three of them sat down, the maid hurriedly brought tea here. Xia Huanyu took up the tea cup at hand, picked up the lid, and casually swept the foam in the cup. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Yun Shang, as if asking in an extremely casual tone, "How is it going? How is the investigation going on with Lady Hui's matter? Have you got any clues? "
