Yun Shang squinted her eyes and called Qian Zhuo in. She extracted the useful information from the letter and asked Qian Zhuo to ask someone to investigate it carefully.
On the second day, all the secret guards who were good at tracing were sent out to detect Xia Houjing's whereabouts.
In the afternoon, news from every place was sent back to the palace-
"In the Jin City, it was indeed raining on the day your majesty mentioned. The rain was neither too heavy nor too small. Only some craftsmen in the south of the city sold the kites and the bead hairpins at the same place. They made all kinds of small things, and the price matched what your majesty said. But they go through streets and alleys, and almost everywhere in the south of the city. The more detailed information can't be checked again. "
Yun Shang nodded. If so, the area was located at the south of the city.
"We have followed the fragrance of the perfumed pills to search around. We found they should have stopped in an alley called the Huachao Lane in the south of the Jin City, but the scent seems to have left the city now. The secret guards have kept track of it all the way and found they seem to be heading south. The last place we have found is in a valley in the south of the city. Master told us not to alert the enemy, so we didn't dare to go forward to investigate. "
It was in the south of the city, and the information on both sides was right. But why did Xia Huanyu take Xia Houjing out of the city and go towards the south?
"Give me a map," Yun Shang ordered softly.
Qian Liu quickly took out a map and handed it to her. She unfolded the map and looked up at the secret guards, "You guys have a look. Where is the last tracking place with the fragrance?"
A secret guard stepped forward and looked at it carefully. Then he pointed at the map and said softly, "This is it."
"Qianshan Valley," Yun Shang murmured. The Qianshan Valley was a unique road. To the south, there were Yue Qian City, Deer City... Yun Shang's hand paused at the place on the map. And here, Yang Liu Town.
Without knowing why, Yun Shang always felt that Xia Huanyu must have taken Xia Houjing to Yang Liu Town. According to the information from the secret guards who had visited the Yang Liu Town, Xia Chun was buried in the town. If Xia Huanyu took Xia Houjing to the Yang Liu Town, did he mean to tell Xia Houjing about his identity?
Yun Shang frowned slightly and said, "Send someone to wait at the door of the Meeting Hall. Once his majesty is free, ask the eunuch to report right away. Send someone to the gate of the palace. If Prince Xian enters the palace, bring him directly to the Imperial Garden. "
Qian Zhuo nodded and ordered servants to handle the things separately.
When Liu Yinfeng entered the palace, Luo Qingyan happened to be free. Both of them arrived at the Imperial Garden at the same time as the eunuch reported. Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Luo Qingyan was here. Otherwise, as the head of the imperial household, it would be inappropriate for her to meet a courtier in the imperial household.
Yun Shang couldn't wait for them two to sit down, so she walked up to them and told Luo Qingyan and Liu Yinfeng in detail, after which she asked, "We all know Xia Houjing well. In this case, I'm afraid we can figure out what will happen. I just want to ask if there is any way to break the situation."
Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and finally didn't say anything. Liu Yinfeng turned to Luo Qingyan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, her majesty is right. I just think that since His Former Majesty has decided to tell the truth to the seventh Prince at this time, he must be confident. I believe in His Former Majesty's ability. Don't worry, your majesty. Just wait and see. As for the officials in the court, I know most of my father's acquaintances. I'm sure I can persuade them one by one. "
