Chapter 1057 Ineffective Deterrence (1/2)

Yun Shang nodded slightly, but she was a little restless. She couldn't figure out what could make Cao Shanxiu so confident.

”It has been a long time since Liu Yinfeng left the Jin City, hasn't it? Haven't you got any news yet? ” Yun Shang frowned. She couldn't feel relieved as Xia Houjing was still alive. Although she knew that Liu Yinfeng wouldn't do anything to Xia Houjing, she still hoped that Liu Yinfeng could send a message back so that they could know what was going on in Yang Liu Town.

The people around Xia Huanyu couldn't be underestimated. She had sent so many secret guards there, but they still couldn't get any news.

Luo Qingyan nodded and said gently, ”It's okay. It's not urgent. It's not that difficult to deal with it. Don't panic.”

Yun Shang replied softly, but still looked thoughtful.

The next day, Luo Qingyan went to the court. Qian Zhuo left the palace early in the morning and returned to the palace in a hurry in the afternoon with a small box in her hand.

Yun Shang was restless these two days and was practicing calligraphy behind the desk. Hearing the footsteps of Qian Zhuo, she raised her head and looked at the small box in her hand. ”Is it ready?”

Qian Zhuo nodded and answered softly, ”Yes, exactly the same as the fifteenth Princess's. Even Lady Cao couldn't tell.”

Yun Shang nodded and put down the brush in her hand. She said in a very low voice, ”Okay. Find a secret guard who is good at imitating other people's voice and let her learn to imitate the fifteenth Princess's voice.”

Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry. Yun Shang's eyes fell on the small box in her hand again. After a while, she said, ”Send someone to fetch some ice from the ice cellar and freeze the things in the box in case Cao Shanxiu finds something wrong. I'm afraid Cao Shanxiu is much smarter than we thought. We caught her yesterday just because she wasn't prepared. Today, we may have to return in vain. If Cao Shanxiu was easy to get along with, His Former Majesty would not have suffered for so many years. You don't have to say anything. You just take that thing and cook it in front of Cao Shanxiu. You don't need to prepare other dishes. ”

”Yes.” Qian Zhuo curtsied to Yun Shang and left.

In the evening, everything was ready. Yun Shang first asked the secret guard to imitate the voice of the fifteenth Princess and screamed not far from the side hall where Cao Shanxiu was imprisoned. Her voice was full of pain, and she kept crying, ”Hand, my hand! Don't... ”

About an hour later, Yun Shang ordered Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo to go into the side hall with the box.
