"She wants to take a person away from the palace,"
Xia Huanyu pursed his lips and said, "She has made a clear guess of us. She thought that if something happened to the person who was in charge of the imperial household affairs, we would not know what would happen at that time. We wouldn't know who poisoned us and what poison it was. We would be so afraid that the whole imperial household would be in a mess after hearing the news. The first thing we would do must be to try to hide the news.
And then she can take advantage of this time to fake the imperial edict and take him away."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly. She was a little surprised. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she did not expect that it was for this.
"Who did she want to take away then?" Yun Shang looked up and asked.
"A maid." Xia Huanyu casually put down his piece and added, "She is a maid in the Xiangyi Palace."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the chess piece.
The Xiangyi Palace was the place where Lady Li was kept under house arrest.
At the thought of this, Yun Shang vaguely guessed which maid that steward Wang wanted to take away.
It was most likely that she had come to the Imperial Garden to beg her, saying that Lady Li had saved her life, begging her to call for an imperial physician for her, and finally she agreed to the maid to work in the Xiangyi Palace.
"Was she sent to the Xiangyi Palace to serve lady Li after she was under house arrest?"
Raising his head slightly, Xia Huanyu asked, "Yes, have you met her before?"
Yun Shang nodded and told Xia Huanyu what had happened,
"That maid came to me at the risk of offending me for such a small matter. Although Lady Li made a mistake, she did not deserve to die. If she died in the palace because I did not call for an imperial physician for treatment, I'm afraid that at that time, all kinds of rumors will spread, and it will be unfavorable to the emperor, even to Father and Mother, so I agree.
But when I asked the maid to serve in the Xiangyi Palace, she looked a li
ty's poisoning. It was said that Lady Li died of a sudden illness. We all know that Lady Li was in poor health, so we didn't think too much. "
Yun Shang nodded, "Then the funeral of Lady Li has been done?"
"Yes," Pei Lan said in a low voice, "but at that time, her Former Majesty was just poisoned and the palace was in a mess. We should find the murderer to detoxify her Former Majesty. Lady Li was just a concubine in the Cold Palace, and her death didn't arouse much attention. His majesty has ordered people to deal with the aftermath, but in a very low-key way. "
Yun Shang nodded. No wonder the secret guards didn't mention it when they sent her the news that her Former Majesty was poisoned.
After saying that, Pei Lan looked at Yun Shang, "What do you want me to do, your majesty?"
Yun Shang thought for a moment and asked, "How to deal with the Xiangyi Palace after Lady Li's death?"
"His majesty ordered people to block it. They said it is ominous. However, the guards guarding outside the palace haven't been removed. They are still guarding at the gate and don't allow anyone to get close to it. "
Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief secretly. She knew that the ominous news was false. Luo Qingyan ordered to block the palace, because he felt that it was strange. He wanted to investigate the Xiangyi Palace and see if he could get any useful information from it.
