Chapter 694 Who Is the Betrayer
"Huh?" Yun Chang turned her head to look at Ning Qian, with some doubts in her eyes, "What does it mean to have some eyebrows?"
Ning Qian pondered for a moment before saying: "Because Liu Yinfeng's soldiers are almost all young and strong men recruited directly in Liucang, Siyang, and Nanyang, our people have no way to really go deep into their camps for the time being. To investigate. However, the subordinate ordered people to sneak into the brothels in these three places, and was able to enter the barracks a few times, but the number of times was not many, and the time of stay was not long, so the news they got was very little. "
"Tell me." Yun Chang replied softly.
"Four pieces of information came from over there: First, the camp near Liucang City had not many people, less than 100,000. His subordinates suspected that some of his soldiers had been placed in other places, but they hadn't found that place yet. Where is it? The second is that Xia Houjing robbed the supplies we sent over. However, there has been a shortage of food and grass in the camp recently, but Xia Houjing would rather let the soldiers starve than send those supplies to the camp. There is a problem. Third, there is a military advisor next to Xia Houjing who can speak Xia Guo dialect, but his accent does not look like that of Xia Guo people. The last point is that Mr. Liu is not imprisoned in the camp." Ning Qian reported one by one.
Yun Shang nodded lightly, but there was a bit of doubt in her eyes: "Has Zheng Qiming been in contact? He may have found out where the supplies were sent?"
Ning Qian shook his head and said, "We found Doctor Zheng, but he didn't know where the supplies were. He said that someone might have used stronger spices to cover up the smell, so Doctor Zheng The specially raised butterfly’s sense of smell was disturbed, so it couldn’t find the location accurately. And the weather has become colder recently, so the butterfly couldn’t fly too far.”
Yun Chang frowned: "It's not really good news."
Ning Qian and Qian Yin didn't speak, Yun Shang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Order people to keep watching, report as soon as there is news, and let people hurry up to train a group of eagles to deliver messages."
Ning Qian complied, and retreated with Qian Yin.
Yun Chang frowned and stood in the yard for a long time. Xia Houjing would rather let the soldiers starve than send the food and grass to the soldiers, so he must know that there is a problem.
But those who knew there was a problem, except for Liu Yinfeng and Zheng Qiming, were the closest people around her. The people around her have not left Jincheng at all recently, so it is only possible that Liu Yinfeng or Zheng Qiming broke the news to Xia Houjing.
Yun Chang narrowed her eyes, could it be that Liu Yinfeng really betrayed them?
But before Luo Qingyan said that although Liu Yinfeng may have something to hide from them, he should not have betrayed him, saying that his people found out that Liu Yinfeng and Xia Houjing had a big fight before, and hoped that Xia Houjing would give up the conspiracy However, Xia Houjing locked him up.
But who would it be if it wasn't Liu Yinfeng?
Yun Chang sighed lightly, her eyes full of confusion.
When Yunshang returned to the house, Hua Guogong had already returned, and when he saw Yunshang, he yelled: "Let's go, let's play a sand table game with me."
"What are you going to kill? I'm going to have dinner soon, so don't go." The Duke's wife snorted coldly when she heard this, and opened her mouth.
Duke Hua snorted, but he didn't reply, he just went to the chair and sat down. The servant girl served the tea, and saw him take a sip of the tea from the cup, and snorted, "It's so cold, You want me to have diarrhea?"
The maid hurriedly apologized, and hastily poured another cup. This time, Duke Hua only touched the rim of the cup before yelling, "Is it so hot that I'm going to be scalded to death?"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, her eyebrows were about to stand up, and she rapped on the ground with her cane: "Lu Yi, don't pour it for him. If you want to drink it, pour it yourself. If you want it cold or hot, you can drink it yourself. Serve yourself and see what you have to say."
Duke Hua snorted when he heard the words, turned away, didn't look at Mrs. Guo, and complained to himself: "Do you know why I don't like being in the Duke's mansion? It's boring all day long and you have to suffer. "Although it was a complaint, Duke Hua's voice was not low at all, and everyone in the room could hear him clearly.
However, Mrs. Guo made up her mind not to follow him, and snorted coldly: "Where do you like to go? No one is stopping you."
Yun Shang saw that the old couple looked more and more like a pair of happy lovers. After seeing the two of them arguing back and forth for a few rounds, the corners of their mouths curled up into a smile. Trying hot or cold, he poured a cup of tea and brought it in front of Hua Guogong, and persuaded him with a smile: "Grandfather and grandmother, stop arguing. Grandfather has a taste. Is the cup of tea that Shang'er poured for grandfather suitable?"
Hua Guogong picked it up, took a sip, then curled his lips, and said lightly: "It's okay."
"Hey, you old man is not polite. Chang'er is the Empress Empress now. How is it proper for you to ask the Empress Empress to pour tea for you? Fortunately, the children in the family have invited the teacher to teach them. If I always follow you, I will be really embarrassed I'm worried, my good-looking great-grandson has been taught badly by you." Mrs. Guo frowned and cursed again.
Hua Guogong just curled his lips, as if he didn't bother to pay attention.
Seeing this, the Duke's wife angrily moved her eyes away, and said to the nurse beside her, "Mother, please order someone to prepare lunch."
Mammy quickly agreed, and walked out of the hall quickly, only then did Mrs. Guo beckon to Yun Shang and said, "Come on, Chang'er, sit with grandma."
Yun Chang responded with a smile, then walked to the Duke's wife and sat down.
After lunch, Yunshang recruited secret guards to deal with some matters, and wanted to go back to the palace. Yunshang ordered someone to bring Uncle Liu out. Uncle Liu walked out of the door and looked at the scenery of the courtyard. , Then he opened his mouth again: "Then, empress empress, I regret it, I don't want to enter the palace anymore, you ask someone to buy a yard for me, and find some servants to serve me, I don't want to enter the palace anymore. "
When Yun Shang heard the words, her footsteps paused slightly, and then she smiled and said, "That's fine."
Then he called two guards to give orders, Fang took a look at Uncle Liu, and then left the yard. Mrs. Guogong accompanied Yunshang to the gate of the mansion, with a reluctant expression on her face: "I don't know when you will come to our Duke's mansion next time."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "There will be a chance. If my grandmother misses Chang'er, or Your Majesty, or the Empress Dowager, she can enter the palace at any time."
The Duke's wife responded, and after a long silence, she said: "The palace is no different than other places, so be careful in everything."
Yun Chang responded one by one, and then stepped into the car. Because she wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible and tell Luo Qing about Xia Houjing's life experience, Yunshang ordered the car to drive faster, and entered the palace in less than half an hour.
After entering the palace, Yunshang stopped under the long steps in front of the Taiji Hall, and asked the others to go back to Weiyang Palace first, and only took a small drink to climb up the steps, and arrived at the gate of the Taiji Hall .
Liu Wen'an stood in front of the Tai Chi Hall, and when he saw Yun Chang approaching, he hurriedly greeted him, "Your servant has seen the Empress, but does the Empress want to see Your Majesty?"
Yun Chang nodded lightly, thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "What did your majesty have for lunch?"
"It's not used yet." Liu Wen'an responded in a low voice, and seeing Yunshang looked over with a bit of surprise in his eyes, he quickly said: "The servant prepared all the lunch earlier, but His Majesty is about to use it. During the meal, there were officials who had an audience, so it was delayed, and later His Majesty dealt with some affairs, but he has not been able to take care of it."
Yun Chang frowned, and his eyes were obviously stained with displeasure: "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Wouldn't it be worth the loss if your body is broken? You go and deliver the meal, and I will tell His Majesty."
Liu Wen'an glanced at the half-opened palace door, and quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, I'll go right away, servant." After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
Yun Chang pushed open the door of the palace and walked in, Luo Qingyan thought it was Liu Wen'an, so he waved his hand and said: "It will be ready soon, you go and prepare the meal first, I will eat after I have dealt with these few books. "
Yun Shang curled her lips when she heard the words, walked to the imperial table, and took the memorial in Luo Qingyan's hand, Luo Qingyan frowned: "Hey..." He raised his head while speaking stand up.
After seeing that it was Yunshang who came, he immediately changed his face and laughed quickly: "Shang'er returned to the palace? Did you have fun?"
Yun Chang frowned, and wanted to say a few words to him, but remembered that she had finally sent Liu Wen'an away, so she had to seize the opportunity, opened her mouth, but was still a little worried, and said: "The concubine has something to say. "
As he spoke, he lifted his skirt, walked to Luo Qingyan's side, bent down, and whispered in his ear the details about Xia Houjing's life experience that he had found out today.
Luo Qingyan's face was also full of shock, and when he heard the words, he turned his head suddenly to look at Yunshang, with a little excitement in his eyes: "Is this really true?"
"It's absolutely true. It took me a lot of effort to get this information. I can't be wrong. And I feel that the Supreme Emperor definitely doesn't know about this. Otherwise, the Supreme Emperor would not be able to pamper the Seventh Prince so much, Your Majesty." Look, shall we go and talk to the Supreme Emperor?" Yun Shang's waiter, who knew about this before, was not only surprised, but also a little excited, and now he understood Luo Qingyan's thoughts.
Luo Qingyan listened to Yunshang's question, but he quieted down. After a long silence, he replied softly: "No, there is no rush to tell the Supreme Emperor about this matter. What we have now is just a witness. , and the witness just listened to what his wife said, and didn't really participate in the events of the year, so it might not be easy to deny Xia Houjing's status as the prince by relying on his one-sided words."
"But what that person said must be true." Yun Shang was a little stunned.
Luo Qingyan stretched out his hand to hold Yunshang's hand, and responded softly: "Yes, what he said is true, but it's not the time to expose this matter now, wait a little longer, wait until the evidence is more abundant."<
