An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1396

Wang Wanzhi went on calmly, "Maybe Official Cao thought he could see through people. If he mentions this again next time, I will try to deal with him. "

Yun Shang nodded, "You always know what to do. It's up to you."

Anyway, she was clear that Cao Han might not be able to appear in front of her soon.

As Yun Shang spoke, she unfolded the paper and had a look. As Luo Qingyan expected, there were more than 10 places of properties written on the paper, followed by the name of the person who bought each house, when it was bought, and who really owned it.

Yun Shang smiled. She and the Emperor had guessed that Cao Han would tell them seven or eight places to be distributed to the secret guards. But they didn't expect that he was so powerful. What he had presented were not seven or eight places, but nearly twenty!

The Cao clan really thought highly of them.

Yun Shang took a glance at the paper and put it on the imperial table, "Okay. After the morning court tomorrow, you'll tell Cao Han that I have known it and have discussed it with his majesty carefully. At about 9 o'clock tomorrow evening, his majesty and I will arrange secret guards to investigate all these places he has mentioned and let him deal with them carefully in the Cao mansion. Don't let them find out anything."

Wang Wanzhi noted down Yun Shang's words and left.

When Luo Qingyan returned to the Taiji Palace, Yun Shang told him what had happened.

"At nine p.m.?" Luo Qingyan was a little surprised, "It's already the evening time, and the city has been under a night ban. This time?"

Yun Shang certainly understood what Luo Qingyan meant. She nodded and said, "Xia Houjing must have been hiding from the limelight before. Today is the best opportunity. He will try his best to contact his own people, his previous subordinates, the officials and so on to discuss something important.

Most of the officials in the court are under the supervision of your majesty and me. If several officials don't go back at night at the same time, it will cause our suspicion. Therefore, Xia Houjing will definitely choose a place where he can stay blatantly without causing any suspicion after the night ban. "

A cunning light flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, "Tell me, your majesty. Where will this place be?"

"A brothel?"

Yun Shang smiled, "Yes, a brothel.

Brothels are good places. There are many brothels in the city. Xia Houjing will definitely feel that even if we guess what he is thinking, we will definitely not know which one he is in. We can't investigate it one by one.

But he probably won't think of it anyway that we won't investigate it at all. Although I choose the time of 9 p.m., it is the most lively time in the brothel. There are all kinds of people in this kind of places. If anything happens, it will definitely be spread quickly.

In my opinion, although it's late at night, it's very quiet everywhere in the city. If anything happens or any noise astir comes out then, it will be more abrupt and eye-catching in this quiet city."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Okay, then do as you say."

At night, the secret guards were sent out early in secret, leaving only more than ten people guarding near the Taiji Palace.

Yun Shang asked someone to set up the chessboard and played chess with Luo Qingyan.

"Your Majesty has been busy all day long. I have never seen you play chess with anyone since I moved to the Taiji Palace. Why are your majesty still so good at chess? I haven't played chess for a long time, and I feel it quite exceeds my ability. "

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Maybe it's because I'm always playing chess in my mind, though I don't play chess with others."

"What?" Yun Shang was surprised, 'Is he playing chess in his mind every day?'

"The checks and balances in the imperial court as well as the disputes between countries are all chess games for me. If I make a mistake, I'll lose everything. "

Yun Shang understood what he meant. She thought for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, you're right."

With a teapot in his hand, Liu Wenan came and served tea for them two. He glanced at the sand clock on the bookshelf and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesties, it's already nine o'clock at night."

Luo Qingyan frowned and pulled Yun Shang forward almost subconsciously.

Yun Shang was not prepared for Luo Qingyan at all. She staggered and fell into the water.

She had been plotted like this before, but this time she reacted very quickly. She quickly held the edge of the pool and stood up.

She was about to scold Luo Qingyan for it when she saw a dagger suddenly appeared in the hand of a servant who had been cleaning up the bucket by the side of the pool and was fighting against Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang immediately realized what had happened just now. She slapped the edge of the pool, jumped up, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and rushed over to them.

The secret guards had also been alerted and hurried to rescue them.

However, those servants were good at Kung Fu. They ignored the other secret guards and rushed towards Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan. Since Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan came in to take a bath, they didn't bring any weapons with them. They had to keep stepping backward.

Fortunately, the secret guards reacted quickly. And there were many of them, after all, so that they quickly subdued the assassins.

Luo Qingyan was about to ask the servant to leave for interrogation, but he saw that the servants' faces were all dark, and their heads and ears were bleeding. They fell down quickly.

"Daredevils."

Luo Qingyan frowned and ordered the servants, "Clean up this place."

Just then, they heard a sharp sound from outside, like that of fireworks rising into the air.

"Your Majesty, someone is sending a signal in the palace."
