Chapter 736 Bright Red Handwriting

Qian Zhuo is missing. It was really a euphemism. What the officer from the Neishi Bureau said was that Qian Yin escaped from punishment and she even killed the eunuchs who was guarding.

With a bitter look on his face, Qi Ruihai, who was sitting opposite Yun Shang, didn't dare to look up at her. He kept repeating, "Your Highness, I didn't apply lynching. Qian Zhuo is a suspect, so she must be imprisoned in prison. But I prepared the best prison for her, and even the quilt she used was the best. I worried that it would be cold at night, so I even prepared a spare quilt for her.

Tapping on the armrest gently, Yun Shang stared at Qi Ruihai. She looked so calm that it was hard to tell what she was thinking. "So, Lord Qi means that she, a maid who knows a little kung fu for self-defense, killed several guards after breaking the lock of the prison, and then disappeared in the heavily guarded Palace?"

Qi Ruihai was stunned and didn't retort.

Yun Shang smiled faintly, "Does His Majesty that know the guards in the inner Palace are so weak? I'll go to see His Majesty later and tell him about it. If the Palace hasn't been guarded strictly, His Majesty might be in danger at any time. His Majesty's safety is related to the whole country."

Qi Ruihai felt a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know either. Maybe Qian Zhuo is very familiar with the situation in the inner Palace and has hidden somewhere? Or maybe there is someone in the inner Palace who could help her?"

Hearing what Qi Ruihai said, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. Qi Ruihai looked at her with confusion. After a long time, Yun Shang raised her head and said, "Lord Qi, are you sure that the person you are talking about is a maid of mine? If that's the case, then I have to admire her for that she could know the inner Palace so well after coming to the Palace for just several times. She is just a maid in my mansion, how could she has someone in the inner Palace to aid her?"

Qi Ruihai was choked by Qi Ruihai's words. He kept silent for a long time before he said, "Your Highness, what do you think it should be?"

Yun Shang looked out of the palace. The sky was blue and clear after the rain. After a long silence, Yun Shang asked softly, "Did anyone witness that Qian Zhuo opened the door herself and killed the prison guards?"

Qi Ruihai paused and shook his head. "No."

Yun Shang then looked away and said, "So, what you said to me just now was all your wild speculations? Why can't it be that the real murderer who killed Lady Liu took Qian Zhuo away from the prison in order to create the illusion that Qian Zhuo escaped from punishment?"

Qi Ruihai was stunned again, but he couldn't find a good word to refute Yun Shang. He had to keep silent and lower his head.

Yun Shang took a look at Qi Ruihai and stood up. "Lord Qi, why don't you take me to the prison and see if there is any useful clue?"

Seeinhg Qi Ruihai was hesitating, Yun Shang said with a cold face, "Oh, I forgot that I'm also a suspect of Lady Liu's death. Lord Qi definitely can't al

nd tucked the flute in her sleeve before she stood up and made Feixian Braid for Yun Shang. Then she inserted several light colored silk flowers and two white jade hairpins into her hair.

Yun Shang stood up and walked out of the inner hall. She smiled at Liu Wenan and said, "Lord Liu, I'm ready. Let's go."

Liu Wenan nodded slightly and led Yun Shang to Meeting Hall.

"Your Highness, you have been in the palace for two days. Are you used to your palace? Did you sleep well?" Liu Wenan walked a step away from Yun Shang and asked her in a low voice, "If the bed or quilt was not suitable, please let me know."

Yun Shang smiled with a sad look, "Everything is fine in the palace, and there is nothing that I am not satisfied with. The maid Cai Yi sent by you is really considerate and she's arrange everything well. But because of all kinds of things that have happened recently, I really can't sleep well."

Hearing this, Liu Wenan comforted him in a soft voice, "God blesses the good man. Prince Rui will be fine."

So many people had said this to Yun Shang. Yun Shang only smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu."

Liu Wenan smiled and said nothing. He led Yun Shang into the Meeting Hall.

In addition to Xia Huanyu, Su Qi and Li Qianmo were also in the Meeting Hall. Xia Huanyu quickly curtsied to Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu waved his hand and asked Yun Shang to stand up.

After Yun Shang stood up, Xia Huanyu handed the thing in his hand to Yun Shang. Yun Shang was slightly stunned and saw the familiar handwriting on the paper. The handwriting was bright red. Yun Shang leaned the paper to the tip of her nose and smelt it. It still had a smell of blood, which made her feel a dull pain in her heart. After a long while, she looked at the word. Maybe it was written in a hurry, the handwriting was a little sloppy. It read: Cangjue Qingsu, southeast...

There seemed to be something that hadn't been written down next to the word "southeast", but there was only a large bloodstain there which was horrifying.
