An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1092

Both Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan thought that Hua Yutong was under their watch. With the secret guards watching her every day, she wouldn't be able to stir up too much trouble.

But they didn't expect that something had happened to the two concubines of Xia Houjing brought by Hua Yutong.

"The two concubines have been staying in that small yard without going out. Since Hua Yutong has been out frequently, at night, the guards only paid attention to her. "

"At about 2 o'clock last night, the secret guards saw a man in black sneaking into that yard, they paid all their attention to Hua Yutong. The man was the owner of several famous opera houses in the city, and also a member of Xia Houjing's. The man showed his identity to Hua Yutong and promised to support her to save Xia Houjing. He showed his loyalty and then left... "

"This morning, I found that the two concubines were killed in their own rooms. The secret guards secretly checked the bodies, and found that they were cut by a sharp weapon. It should happen at about 2 o'clock when the man came last night."

Hearing these reports, Yun Shang frowned slightly, "So, the secret guards were tricked into their strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They then took advantage of the loophole and killed the two pregnant concubines of Xia Houjing's. Were they Xia Houjing's men? The two concubines were still pregnant with Xia Houjing's children. Why did they do this? "

The leader of the secret guards lowered his head and said, "This morning, Hua Yutong changed into plain clothes and asked people to bring the corpses of the two concubines to the downtown. She cried and shouted that your majesties were heartless, saying that although the seventh Prince was guilty, the unborn children were innocent. No matter how innocent the babies were, your majesties had to kill them both, which was too vicious..."

"Ha ha..." Yun Shang's face darkened, "What a good show."

The leader of the secret guards glanced at Yun Shang and said, "It's my fault. Please punish me, your majesty."

"Now that things have come to this point, what's the use of punishment?"

The leader of the secret guards also understood this. He thought for a moment and said, "How about I take Hua Yutong away on the charge of slandering the Emperor and your majesty and lock her up carefully?"

"If we do that, wouldn't it prove that what she said is true? The people in the city will think that his majesty and I have taken advantage of our power to bully people by first killing Xia Houjing's concubines and children, and now going to attack Hua Yutong again?"

"Well..."

The secret guard lowered his eyes and stood aside. He had no choice.

Yun Shang took a deep breath, stood up and called, "Get ready. I have to go out of the palace."

The maids responded and changed the daily clothes for Yun Shang. Then they asked servants to prepare a carriage and guards. Yun Shang went straight out of the palace and headed for the downtown area where Hua Yutong was.

The noise could be heard from afar. Yun Shang frowned and raised the curtain of the carriage. Many people gathered around, blocking the spacious roads in the downtown. Many people were pointing and discussing, and it was very lively.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people outside. I'm afraid the carriage can't get through," someone reported.

Yun Shang ordered, "Get off the carriage."

the man said excitedly. The people beside him pulled his sleeve and said, "Keep your voice down. How dare you talk about the Empress in this street? Don't you want to die?"

Yun Shang lowered her voice and continued, "But if the Emperor and the Empress want the lives of the two concubines and the unborn children of the seventh Prince', why did they kill them in the middle of the night? A direct imperial edict can do to execute him fair and square. After all, you have said that the seventh Prince has committed a serious crime of treason... "

"You don't know, do you? The Emperor hasn't held the enthronement ceremony yet. If they deal with the two women and their unborn children in a flagrant manner at this time, it will certainly cause criticism. By then, it will be more difficult if he gains the reputation of a tyrant. It's better to deal with it in secret. "

Yun Shang sneered. She found she had underestimated Hua Yutong.

Someone asked, "Shouldn't we report the death to the police? Why did the seventh princess drag the corpses to the street and make trouble here? What is she going to do? "

"Call the police?" a man laughed and said, "What are you going to say to the police? Can you say you suspect that the Emperor and the Empress have killed someone? They are his majesty, and the Empress. Which official will dare to investigate this case? Even if they investigate and handle it, they would probably just find a scapegoat to hastily cover the case. The seventh princess is forced to do so. "

Yun Shang squinted at the man and turned to the carriage.

"Your Majesty?" Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo followed her and asked, "Your majesty, are you leaving now?"

"Let's go. Send someone to Fuya and ask them to get ready. Ask the secret guards to go back to the palace, and send thirty or forty guards here. Get the Empress' carriage ready, and go to the Weiyang Palace to bring here my court clothes... "
