Chapter 927 A Visit (1/2)

”Died? How?” Hearing this, Yun Shang stopped, turned around and looked at Qian Zhuo in astonishment. However, no matter how the four midwives died. It was queer that they all died on the same day, the second day of Lady Liu's childbirth.

Qian Yin answered in a hurry, ”Three of them left the Jin City at the very night along with their families. The three midwives, as well as all their family members, were killed by bandits on the way, but in different places which were all far away from the Jin City. Another midwife and her family members were hacked to death by debt collectors because his husband couldn't pay his gambling debt.”

Yun Shang fell into silence. They died in different places, some killed by the robbers and some killed by debt collectors. No one would suspect that these cases had anything to do with each other. If she hadn't ordered her secret guards to investigate it carefully, she wouldn't have found it out.

But why? Was there any secret behind this?

Yun Shang was full of doubts. She suddenly remembered that it might raise suspicion if she stood there too long, so she continued to walk towards Taihe Palace and ordered softly, ”Keep investigating. Be careful and don't miss any clues, but don't be noticed.”

Qian Zhuo quickly answered yes, bowed her head and took two steps back, following Yun Shang.

When they arrived at Taihe Palace, they saw Hua Ling standing outside the main hall and looking up at the sky. Seeing Yun Shang coming, Hua Ling smiled, ”It's wet everywhere. Why are you here?”

Yun Shang smiled and said, ”His Majesty isn't going to have dinner in Weiyang Palace today. I'm bored alone, so I came here. Would Your Former Majesty mind me having dinner here with you?”

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Hua Ling couldn't help laughing. ”Not at all. But I usually eat vegetarian dishes. I'll ask them to prepare a few meat dishes.”

Yun Shang smiled and didn't refuse. She just looked around and found that there were many servants in the hall, but Xia Huanyu was nowhere to be seen. Yun Shang asked with a smile, ”Where is father?”

”He's reading in the study. I had to play chess with him and can't go anywhere in the afternoon these days. I really can't stand it, so I drove him to the study. Why didn't Chengye come with you?” Hua Ling turned around and entered the main hall, followed by Yun Shang.

”Chengye is asleep. The baby is cute and quiet. But he will always cry for a long while when being woken up.” Yun Shang replied with a smile.
