Qian Zhuo also laughed. Then she thought of something serious. She raised her head and looked out of the window. Then she reported in a low voice, "The people we arranged last night followed them back to the post house. As your majesty expected, Prince Ming Yue looked very anxious because of what happened at the Imperial banquet last night. He blamed Princess Ming Yue and the eighth princess. They responded him as your majesty had taught them. Thus, up till now, nothing was been found out by Prince Ming Yue.
Early this morning, they met the people we have arranged in the post house. They have thoroughly investigated the situation of the ladies in the post house. Since we have replaced all the people including the maids, nothing serious has happened. "
Yun Shang nodded slightly. Everything was within her expectation for the time being.
"Is there anything wrong with Prince Ming Yue yesterday?"
Qian Zhuo nodded, "The secret guard reported that Prince Ming Yue left alone for a period of time last mid night. They followed him, but they lost him halfway."
"Failed to track him?" Yun Shang frowned and asked, "Is Prince Ming Yue so good at Kung Fu?"
"It's not because he is a kung fu master. The secret guards said that Prince Ming Yue probably knew that someone was following him, so he specially went to the brothel. He then deliberately created some chaos inside and then ran away.
By the time the secret guards reacted, he had disappeared.
The secret guards looked around the brothel, but they didn't find out where he was, so they had to go back to the post house and wait."
Yun Shang knocked on the table with her fingers while asking, "How long had he been away from the post house?"
"About four hours."
More than 4 hours!
Yun Shang bit her lower lip gently. More than four hours were enough to do a lot of things.
Yun Shang had already expected that Prince Ming Yue should have placed a lot of people in the city. After getting rid of the secret guards this time, he should have gone to arrange them in secret.
But it was unknown what he was going to do next.
Now that Prince Ming Yue could enjoy so much fame and prestige, they should not have come out of the blue.
According to Yun Shang's opinion, sixty or seventy percent of her plan was just a fluke, not her ability to make him fall into her trap.
After suffering a loss from her, Prince Ming Yue would probably try his best to get it back.
But he didn't know how to get it back.
"I've already scolded the secret guards. I've told them to keep a very close eye on Prince Ming Yue and not to fall into his trap."
"It's not their fault." Yun Shang was calm,
"Just keep an eye on him. I'd like to see what he wants to do next.
Anyway, this is still our territory. No matter what he wants to do, I'm not afraid anymore."
Yun Shang dressed neatly and began to have breakfast.
As soon as she finished eating the porridge, she saw a servant coming in in a hurry, "Your majesty, a message from the East Palace said that the crown prince..."
Seeing the maid in such a hurry, Yun Shang stood up as if she had known what the maid might say, "What's the matter with the crown prince?"
Was it possible that Prince Ming Yue wanted to take actions from Chengye?
Was it possible that even the East Palace was so heavily guarded he could still do something there?
Thinking of this, Yun Shang's face turned paler.
The maid was also startled by Yun Shang's reaction. She hurriedly said, "The people from the East Palace said that the crown prince had a cold last night, probably because he didn't sleep well. He had a fever before, but now he has recovered from it and he is now only a little listless..."
