Yun Shang nodded, "how many shadow guards do we have now?"
Qian Yin thought for a while before replying, "over one hundred and twenty people."
Yun Shang sneered, "call all of them in. I'll make a list of all the people involved in the matter. You ask them to investigate them interrogate them. They'll leave at midnight. I'd like to see how many people can follow us. "
Qian Yin hurriedly curtsied to Yun Shang, and went down to make preparations.
Knowing there were many guards outside, Yun Shang lost her interest in going out. But at dusk, someone came to the palace. According to the message, the one was sent by Lady Jin. Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to invite the person in, and he was indeed from lady Jin's palace. She had seen him several times in the palace.
"Why did mother send you here?" Yun Shang lifted her eyes to look at the disturbed eunuch.
The eunuch replied in a low voice, "Your Highness, lady Jin asked me to inform your highness that lMeng Jieyu has died."
Meng Jieyu? Qin Meng? Dead? All of a sudden, Yun Shang felt as if all the events were associated in secret. It seemed that the culprit was putting her and Prince Jing together in the net.
"How did Meng Jieyu die?" Yun Shang frowned and asked.
The eunuch quickly said, "She hang herself. Because of the incident of the fish meat, his majesty ordered to shut Meng Jieyu up and locked her in the cold palace. Two days ago, she was fine, but today, the person who went to deliver food suddenly found that Meng Jieyu had untied the silk that tied to her waist, put it on the beams and hung herself to death."
Yun Shang smiled coldly. Qin Meng? Hang herself?
Qin Meng was a fence sitter, but she cherished her life very much. And it was an official reason for her to risk her life again and again. There was no way she would kill herself.
"I'll go to the palace." After a short silence, Yun Shang turned to Prince Jing. Although there were many people guarding outside, the palace was heavily guarded, and it was not easy to follow them to the palace.
Prince Jing had also thought of this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll walk you to the palace gate."
Yun Shang knew Prince Jing was worried about her, so she didn't refuse. Prince Jing escorted her into the palace.
Lady Jin knew Yun Shang was here for Qin Meng. She sighed and blamed Yun Shang, "you have been through so many things today. Why don't you have a good rest? I will send someone to inform you that you are not here for tiring. Qin Meng is just a concubine, and she will die if she dies. "
Yun Shang didn't refuse her. She didn't want to make lady Jin worry about her, so she said with a smile, "She was unkind to me, but I couldn't be so ungrateful. After all, she has served me for a long time. Now that she's dead, all the old grievances and conflicts are gone. Besides, she can't do anything harmful to me. I'll go to see her."
