Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

The guard opened the curtain and walked in, only to see Qin Yi and the unconscious Cai Yi in the room, his complexion suddenly turned livid: "The princess was taken away by the assassin?"

Qin Yi knew that they must have misunderstood, so she quickly pointed to Caiyi on the ground and said: "The assassin is her, just now she and the other two assassins assassinated Princess Rui, Princess Rui knocked Caiyi to the ground, the two assassins Losing the enemy, she fled through the window, and the concubine chased her in the rain. Leave two of you to detain her, and the rest of you should hurry up to chase her. It is raining heavily outside, and the concubine is still pregnant. If something happens , we are not responsible.”

The headed guard was a little surprised: "But, isn't this the girl in Caiyi serving in the palace? How did she become an assassin? Besides, we were all patrolling outside just now, and we didn't see any assassins."

"Did you see that the princess is gone? Hurry up and chase after her!" Qin Yi's complexion was a little bad, and her voice was raised a bit.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the two of you go to report to His Majesty, you take her down, and the rest follow me." Seeing Qin Yi's excitement, the head of the guard quickly gave orders, and took the lead out of the bedroom.

The two people who stayed took away the colorful clothes on the ground, and Qin Yi paced back and forth in the hall by herself, her face full of anxiety. Secretly annoyed that she agreed to Yunshang, she was pregnant, how could she make such a fuss?

The night was getting darker, and the rain started to fall harder again. It had been half an hour since the guards had chased them out, but there was still no news. Qin Yi felt more and more uneasy.

Suddenly hearing footsteps coming from outside, Qin Yi was overjoyed and hurried out of the inner hall, only to see the person who came in hurriedly from the door was Xia Huanyu.

"My servant pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Jin'an." Qin Yi hurriedly saluted.

Xia Huanyu went to the chair and sat down, looked at Qin Yi, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on? The guard who came to report couldn't explain clearly, what happened? Where is Princess Rui?"

Qin Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it was Caiyi, the court lady assigned by Manager Liu to serve the princess. She joined forces with outsiders to assassinate the princess. The assassination failed, but was caught by the princess, and Caiyi was knocked out by the princess on the spot. The other two fled through the window, the concubine chased after them, the guards have already gone after them, and there is no news yet."

"Nonsense." Xia Huanyu slapped the armrest of the chair suddenly: "She is pregnant, and she is still a woman. It is raining so heavily outside, what is she chasing after?"

Qin Yi hurriedly fell on the ground, silent like a cicada.

"Liu Wen'an, order the imperial guards to bring people to search, even if they search the palace, they must find Princess Rui. If they can't find anyone, ask the commander of the guards guarding the Zhaoxia Palace to come and see her." Xia Xia Huanyu's expression darkened.

Liu Wen'an's expression was also a little bad, he quickly responded and retreated.

Xia Huanyu sat on the chair and didn't speak again, and Qin Yi didn't dare to get up.

After a while, Liu Wen'an returned to the palace, and Xia Huanyu asked Qin Yi again: "Why did Caiyi assassinate Princess Rui? How did he do it?"

Qin Yi replied in a low voice: "I don't know why Caiyi wanted to assassinate the princess. After the accident in Prince Rui's mansion, the only maidservants that the princess brought into the palace were Nuservant and Qianzhuo. Two days ago, Liu Changyi drowned and died. The guards suspected that It was Qian Zhuo's hand, so he took Qian Zhu away, and then Qian Zhuo disappeared in the inner guard. The princess has only servants and servants, and she can't take care of her."

Qin Yi has served in the palace for so many years, so she also knows how to report: "Because Caiyi is someone who has served in the Taiji Palace, the princess also trusts her very much. In the past two nights, she was a servant on duty. Today, the princess will Said to let Caiyi wait in the bedroom, but did not want such a thing to happen, and the servants also entered the palace only after hearing the voice of the princess, I really don't understand what happened before."

Xia Huanyu nodded slightly, then turned to look at Liu Wen'an: "What's the origin of the colorful clothes?"

Knowing that something happened to the maid he sent to Zhaoxia Palace, Liu Wen'an was also a little nervous. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Caiyi is considered an old man in the palace. She entered the palace during the draft nine years ago, and she failed in the draft. , then stayed in the Shangyi Bureau for a while, and was transferred to the Taiji Hall three years ago, and was mainly responsible for lighting the lamps in the Taiji Hall. The slave saw that Princess Rui brought only two maids into the palace, but that night, she was a little anxious and had no time to let her in. According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, eight people were transferred from the Taiji Hall. Caiyi is considered to be the oldest among them, so the servant let Caiyi lead the way."

"Princess Rui has only been in Xia Kingdom for less than a year. Since Caiyi entered the palace nine years ago and has been in the Tai Chi Hall for the past two years, how could she assassinate Princess Rui?" Xia Huanyu frowned, "Send someone to go The internal steward brought over the booklet containing the information on Caiyi."

Liu Wen'an responded in a low voice, and left the hall to give orders.

After waiting for another cup of tea, there was still no news. Xia Huanyu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Bring the commander of the Imperial Guard..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a slender figure walking in from outside the hall. His whole body was already drenched, his disheveled hair was also wet from the rain, and his complexion was faintly pale.

It's not who Yunshang is.

Qin Yi finally showed a smile on her face, raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, and saw that she was a little bit embarrassed, but she didn't look like she was injured, so she felt a little more at ease.

Xia Huanyu frowned and looked at Yunshang with displeasure in his eyes: "Princess Rui, what's going on?"

Yun Shang bowed towards Xia Huanyu, her voice still soft: "Please allow your majesty to allow the minister's wife to enter the palace first and change her clothes before coming to report."

Xia Huanyu looked at Yunshang's drowned appearance, then nodded slightly and said, "Go."

Yun Chang saluted again, pulled up Qin Yi who was still kneeling on the ground, and entered the inner hall regardless of etiquette.

Qin Yi hurriedly took out the inside and outside clothes from the cage to change for Yun Shang. Yun Shang listened to the movement outside, but there seemed to be no sound outside, so Yun Shang pulled Qin Yi to the desk, and wrote on the A few words were written on the paper: "What did His Majesty say?"

Qin Yi saw it, thought for a while, then took the pen and wrote below: "Your Majesty inquired about the process and ordered the imperial guards to find the princess. He also said that he had to search the palace to find it. The commander of the guards guarding outside the Zhaoxia Palace raised his head to see her, and later asked Caiyi about her experience in entering the palace."

Yun Shang carefully read Qin Yi's words, and was silent for a long while, "I also said that I have to search the palace to find it. If I can't find it, I will ask the commander of the guards guarding outside the Zhaoxia Palace to come and see..." Circled it, and wrote below: "Your Majesty really said so?"

Qin Yi nodded fiercely, Yun Shang fell silent again, tore off the paper, and threw it into the charcoal basin.

Qin Yi hurriedly took a handkerchief to dry Yun Shang's hair, and was a little embarrassed by her wet hair, "Princess, do you want to wear a bun?"

Yun Chang nodded lightly: "It's not polite to have disheveled hair."

Qin Yi dried her hair a little more and put it in a bun for Yun Shang. Before the bun was healed, there were footsteps outside again, and then a man's voice came: "His Majesty, we have not found any trace of Princess Rui yet."

"There's no need to look for it, Princess Rui has already returned." Xia Huanyu's voice was so light that one couldn't guess what was going on in his heart.

Qin Yi just casually pulled a simple bun and fixed it with a white jade plum flower hairpin. Yun Chang stood up, thought for a while, and then ordered Qin Yi to take a cloak to wear, and asked Qin Yi to wear it herself. One thing, he opened the curtain and walked out.

Apart from Xia Huanyu and Liu Wen'an, there were still two men standing outside, both of whom were in military uniform, but the armor was slightly different. Yunshang's eyes fell on the two of them, and after sweeping lightly, she walked in front of Xia Huanyu Three steps away, I knelt down: "The court lady just chased the two assassins, and saw them fall into a palace. The court lady was afraid that the people in the palace would be in danger, but she was also afraid that the other party was leading a snake into the cave." So I hurried back first and asked His Majesty to send guards to investigate."

Xia Huanyu glanced at Yunshang, and didn't speak for a long time. Yunshang's heart trembled slightly, and then he heard Xia Huanyu's voice: "Lead the way."

Yun Chang nodded, Qin Yi quickly took the umbrella, Xia Huanyu went out of the palace first, and Yun Chang followed quickly.

On a rainy winter night, Qin Yi hurriedly opened an umbrella for Yun Shang, and a group of people stepped into the rain. After walking around with Xia Huanyu for a while, they finally came to a red wall. Yun Chang pointed to the already mottled red wall and said softly, "The two assassins climbed in from here just now."

Under the reflection of the lantern, Xia Huanyu's face was a little cold, and he raised his eyes to look at the palace wall. After a long silence, he said, "Where is this?"

Liu Wen'an looked around and quickly responded, "It seems to be Wuyan Palace."

Hearing the words Wuyan Palace, Xia Huanyu's eyes became much deeper in an instant, and he just kept looking at the red palace wall and fell silent.

The light in Yunshang's eyes flashed, and she quickly asked with some surprise: "No Face Palace? Isn't Concubine Shu and Mrs. Xian in this palace? What if the assassin hurts them? Your Majesty Hurry up and order someone to search inside."

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu's eyebrows and eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at Yunshang, with obvious scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, Yunshang's heart trembled suddenly, and he also looked at Xia Huanyu without avoiding it.

"Your Majesty?" Yun Shang asked softly.

Xia Huanyu said indifferently: "Princess Rui, you must have misread it or admitted it wrong. In this harem, there are many red walls like this. It is no wonder that Princess Rui would admit it wrong. There are imperial guards everywhere in this faceless palace. The guards, let alone assassins, don’t even want a fly to fly in without the widow’s permission.”

After finishing speaking, he said calmly: "Go back to the palace, and interrogate that Caiyi Haosheng." After finishing speaking, he turned to leave.

Yun Chang frowned slightly, her eyes were a little dark, and finally she couldn't help opening her mouth: "My wife remembers very clearly that the assassin entered here, but what I don't know is why Your Majesty is protecting and pampering Concubine Shen Shu so much, why would he pamper the Seventh Prince like that, but treat Prince Rui like this, almost destroying Prince Rui's residence."\u003c
