Hearing this, Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo. Qian Zhuo shook her head and said, "I didn't see her either. Maybe she was called away by Aunt Qin Yi. Since Aunt Qin Yi went to the Imperial Household Department, she must have a lot of work to do there."
Yun Shang nodded and said to Pei Lan, "Since we can't find Ban Xia, you can go to the Qinghao to work with you."
Pei Lan replied and left in a hurry.
Yun Shang didn't care about it at all. She lowered her head and read for a while. Then she had lunch. When she was about to have a rest on the couch, she saw Pei Lan running over in a hurry with a panic on her face, "Your Majesty, something's wrong. Ban Xia is dead."
Yun Shang was surprised. She sat up straight and looked at Pei Lan, "What happened?"
Pei Lan was probably a little scared. Her face was a little pale and she could not speak for a long time with her mouth open. Qian Zhuo quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her, comforting her softly, "Don't worry. Drink a glass of water slowly and tell her majesty carefully what you have found."
Pei Lan took the water, her hands still trembling slightly. She took a sip of water and said after a long time, "Just now, Qinghao and I took people to clean the west side hall. There are no people living in the west side hall, and there are some grocery stores. In one of the rooms, there are some old chairs that might have been replaced before. I asked someone to move those chairs away and dispose of them. However,
tell you about it. I have never seen the wound on Uncle Liu's neck, but the one on the neck of Ban Xia is exactly the same as that on the neck of Yu Qin. The wound looks not very serious, but it's very deep. She was killed by a knife. It's clean and efficient. It's obvious that it was done by someone with high martial arts. "
After thinking for a while, Qian Zhuo lowered her head and whispered in Yun Shang's ear, "By the way, your majesty, I haven't seen Chen Ke for a long time. Is Chen Ke..."
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head. The smile in her eyes became colder. She said indifferently, "The people who died last night were probably killed by Chen Ke."
the State of NingQian Zhuo was stunned and looked incredulous. Yun Shang said indifferently, "Go to the kitchen and make some cakes with the State of Ning's features. Send them to the Taihe Palace. You go in person and send them to His Former Majesty. Tell him that I thank His Former Majesty for eliminating traitors for me."
