Chapter 866 Strangers From Now On (Part One)

Yun Shang nodded, "He will definitely do so. But it's useless for Xia Houjing to shout for justice without any evidence. After all, the guard saw the carriage of the seventh Prince, not ours. Even if he wants to overthrow it, he'll have to show solid evidence. The patterns on the wheels of carriages of every prince and princess are different. They are all made in the Jintai Carriage Store in the city."

"If the seventh Prince wants to reverse the confession about the carriage, he will mostly likely do from two aspects. First, let the owner of Jintai Carriage Store testify that the Crown Prince had ordered him to make a carriage with a pattern as that of the seventh Prince's. Two, leave the evidence pointing to the Crown Prince in that carriage. We have to start from these two things." Yun Shang whispered.

As soon as Yun Shang finished her words, Qian Yin said, "We have some business dealings with Jingtai Carriage Store and we also have some spy in the store. I wonder if the spy will come in handy."

Yun Shang smiled, "Of course the spy will be useful. As I said, we don't have time to investigate who has been bribed by the seventh Prince and we don't know what benefits the seventh Prince has promised them.

Yun Shang curled his lips up into a cold smile.

About two hours later, news came from the Palace, saying that the Emperor had ordered the Crown Princess to come to the Palace.

The people in the room were stunned, and Qin Yi was also a little surprised. "We haven't received any news from the Palace. Why did His Majesty suddenly order to summon Your Highness?"

Yun Shang replied calmly. "It's not convenient for Wang Wanzhi to come in and out of the Palace frequently. She might not spread the news which she thought was not very important. And I know roughly why His Majesty ask me to the Palace."

"Why?" Everyone looked at Yun Shang with confusion.

Yun Shang smiled and said unhurriedly, "Tell the messenger from the Palace that I will set off after I change my clothes. Qin Yi, come and help me change my clothes and comb my hair."

Qin Yi changed a long purple dress for Yun Shang. Yun Shang sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting Qin Yi untie her hair. Then she said slowly, "His Majesty called me in the Palace most likely because Empress Hua made a move."
