"Lian Yun, go and find out if there's any empress who has been out for the past few days." It had been two days since he had returned to the palace, but there was no sign of the assassination that day. It was also because these few days had been too tiring that they had been delayed.

"Empress, are you suspecting that it was the people from the palace who did this?" Although Lian Yun's thoughts were simple, she was still a smart and astute person. Listening to her words, he could also guess a little.

As he turned around and walked out of the room, Lian Yun looked around, and secretly went to the storehouse to collect the accounts. Usually, if a certain mistress bought something, it would be recorded in her account book for the majority of the time.

Remembering this in his heart, he took out another jade pendant from his bosom. "Do you recognize this jade pendant?" This jade pendant was the one that fell from those assassins that day, perhaps they could find some clues.

However, the storekeeper shook his head. He had never seen a lady wear such a jade before, nor had he seen anyone buy it.

Lian Yun nodded her head, and stressed not to inform anyone about her visit today, and quickly left.

"Empress, this servant has already asked all the questions she wanted me to know."

After returning to the courtyard, he told Shen Qingwan about the results of the investigation.

"I know." She already had a few answers in her heart. That jade pendant should have been bought privately, but it should have been worth a lot of money. She was afraid that it was not something she had saved up in one or two days.

"Send this to the carrageenan." He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. Due to the incident with the Ninth Prince last time, the emperor had always been neither cold nor hot to her. carrageenan had always been under the watch of the emperor, so if she went over now, it would implicate her.

The weather outside the window seemed to be a bit gloomy. Thunder could be heard from time to time. It would inevitably rain tonight.

It seemed as if things were getting restless. It didn't matter if it was the harem or the sky.

After about half a cup of tea's time, carrageenan heard someone knocking on the door. These days, she had just gotten better and was quite happy. Just now, she had let Qiu Shui out again, so there was no one to pass the message to.

"Go on in." He sat up on the bed and looked out the door.

"Queen of carrageenan." Lian Yun stuck her head in, and only she was left in the room, and then she heaved a sigh of relief, "My mother told me to give this to you." She pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve and placed it in her hand.

"It was sent by the Elder Sister Consort Xian?" Li Ruotong opened the slip of paper and only saw that the person asking her about it was the concubine that the Emperor usually went to nearby.

After thinking for a while, Lian Yun took a brush and brought it over, then picked up another slip of paper. However, just as she was about to write the brush, she seemed to find it funny and curled her lips. SShe put down the brush and called Lian Yun over. He whispered: "Go back and tell your mother, it's Consort De."

Lian Yun was at a loss. She had seen what the Empress wrote, but she guessed that this was the answer on the piece of paper.

"Here." "Yes," Li Ruotong told her to stay, "and also told Elder Sister Consort Xian to come visit us whenever we have time." She had been really bored these days, but not many people could say anything about it. From this, it could be seen how bored she was.

When Qiushui returned, she ran into Lian Yun who had just left. After entering, she asked why Li Ruotong had come over.

Shaking his head and smiling, Li Ruotong did not answer.

"Consort De …" "It's really unfortunate. Today, she finally managed to find a way to make herself a girl and wanted to get an embroidery handkerchief out. In the end, the tip of the needle pierced into her hand, causing her to turn red." It really makes me worry. " He put his finger in his mouth and sucked until all the blood on it was gone.

How could such a large harem not accommodate her existence? She only wanted to stay here peacefully. She didn't want to provoke anyone, didn't want to fight for anything.

However, there were always those people who would come and cause trouble for her. If she did not resist, she was afraid that they would look down on her and bully her like she was a soft persimmon.

"Lian Yun, don't you think it's better to live a peaceful life? Why is there always someone coming to disturb us? " With a frown on his face, even his tone had turned somewhat sorrowful.

"Empress …" Lian Yun did not know how to comfort her, she only knew that her master was in sorrow again. It seemed that since she had arrived at the palace, the smile on her mistress' face had lessened, and replacing it was more worry.

"If not, we will leave this palace." Lian Yun was anxious and a little angry.

How many eyes in the palace were fixated on their every move and speech, saying that if others were to listen to them, it would probably lead to some kind of disaster, "How can you speak nonsense like that?"

Furthermore, she had no way of escaping this high wall courtyard. After all, she was a member of the Shen family.
