Chapter 933 The Birth Of A Dead Baby

Qian Zhuo fetched the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Yun Shang dipped the pen in the ink, pondered for a moment, and wrote a letter on the paper. Then she took a seal from the lotus bag on her waist, stained it with ink, and pressed it on the letter.

After putting away the seal, Yun Shang picked up the letter, blew it dry, and ordered Qian Zhuo to hand it to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu took it and read it. Then he quickly folded it up and put it into his clothes. After thinking for a while, he bit his lips and finally opened his mouth. "My first wife was a midwife, and she was famous in the Jin City. Many rich and powerful people asked her to deliver a baby. Twenty-three years ago, the Imperial Palace sent someone to pick her up and let her deliver the baby for Lady Liu, who was favored by the Emperor then. "

As Uncle Liu spoke, he subconsciously took out a tobacco pipe from his waist. But it seemed that only after he took it out, could he recognize where he was at the moment. He was stunned for a while, and then silently stuffed it back.

"At that time, my wife was very happy. Although there were many high officials and noble people asking for help in the delivery, this time it was Lady Liu, who was favored by the Empress. She was so excited that she didn't fall asleep for several days. It was 21st of the twelfth month of the lunar year. I remember clearly it was very cold. Early in the morning, the palace sent someone to pick up my wife. " Uncle Liu sighed and frowned.

"My wife didn't come back from the palace until midnight. As soon as she came back, she asked us to pack up in a hurry, indicating that we would leave the city early in the morning. I saw that she seemed to be a little flustered, so I grabbed her and asked her why. She must have been warned to keep silent about something secret so that she was trembling all over. Still, she was unwilling to say a word to me. "

Uncle Liu knocked on the pipe, and his eyes were full of complex emotions. "I thought she had offended a noble person in the palace when she was delivering the baby, so I was flustered. While packing up, I asked her again what happened. The whole night passed and it was almost dawn when she told me something about it, but she didn't make it quite clear. I only remember that she repeatedly said that Lady Liu gave birth to a daughter and was a dead baby. She mentioned that the officials in the palace told them not to reveal anything, or they would die. "

Hearing this, Yun Shang clenched her fists in her sleeves. Daughter? A dead baby? She remembered that Lady Liu had lost two children, and the seventh Prince was the only one who was full-term. But what was wrong with this stillbirth? Could it be the one that the midwife delivered before the seventh Prince? But she remembered that Xia Houjing's birthday was 21st of the twelfth month of the lunar year. What was going on then? Yun Shang was confused.

"In fact, I don't understand. It's not surprising to give birth to a stillbirth. But maybe she thought the noble people in the palace were more precious. As a woman who was quite ignorant, she was panic when she

t of the small room.

The secret she had just heard was so frightening that she didn't go back to the main hall directly. She stood in the yard for a long time before she turned to look at Qian Zhuo and asked, " Have Qian Qian and Qian Yin come?"

Qian Zhuo answered in a low voice, "Yes, they have. They are waiting for your majesty in the front yard."

Yun Shang nodded, "Call them here."

Qian Zhuo answered in a low voice, bowed and walked out of the yard. After a short while, she brought in Ning Qian and Qian Yin. When Ning Qian and Qian Yin saw Yun Shang, they smiled and greeted, "Congratulation to your majesty! Wearing this Phoenix robe, your majesty is really gorgeous."

Yun Shang smiled, turned to look at them two, and said softly, "I have had a hard time in the palace these days. The persons around me are kung fu masters, so I didn't dare to summon you two. How is it going outside the palace these days?"

Ning Qian's belly hadn't bulged yet. She still looked slender and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Everything is fine. I won't fail your majesty's expectations. Now the Ming Feng House has becomes a little famous in Jin City, and many dignitaries will like to come for enjoyment. I set up secret chambers next to all the rooms that the guests and girls don't know. I have ordered people to keep watch everything and gather useful information. After we have collected the information, we will sort them out one by one. Before long, with the rise of the popularity of the Mingfeng House, more and more guests will come and it will soon become a good place to collect information. "

Yun Shang smiled, "Great. Only you can do such a thing to collect information." Then she looked at Qian Yin and asked, "How's everything going with you?"

Qian Yin replied in a low voice with a smile, "Everything is fine. There are more and more guests coming to our house, the Xiao's."

Yun Shang nodded. After a moment's silence, she asked, "Have you found anything about Liucang City recently?"

Ning Qian thought for a while and said softly, "I have some clues..."
