An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1260 Can You Give Me The Evidence

Thinking of this, Yun Shang asked the servant by the side, "Is the sun still hot outside?"

"Your Majesty, there is no sunshine outside at the moment. It's getting dark and windy. It seems that it's

going to rain."

"It's going to rain." Yun Shang nodded, "It's good to rain. It seems that it hasn't rained for a long time.

It's so hot that I can't stand it. I hope the next rain can cool down a little."

Since there was no sunshine but wind, it was a rare suitable weather to go out.

Yun Shang stood up and asked, "Are there still any bayberries from the imperial kitchen?"

"Still quite some."

"Take a food box with some ice cubes and then store some bayberries in it. Follow me to the Taiji

Palace."

"But the imperial kitchen should have also sent some bayberries to the Taiji Palace?" Qian Zhuo was

tidying up the desk. She was surprised to hear what Yun Shang said.

"No," Yun Shang smiled and said, "His Majesty doesn't like something sour and sweet all the time. The

food from the imperial kitchen is usually good for summer. In that case, they will send what their

masters like. Thus I don't think bayberries will be sent there."

Qian Zhuo still failed to understand, "If his majesty doesn't like it, why did your majesty still ask to send

them there?"

"It's just an excuse." Yun Shang smiled, "And the bayberries today are really nice. Although his majesty

doesn't eat much, he can still have some."

Pei Lan quickly got ready a food box with ice cubes and then filled it with bayberries.

Then Yun Shang led the servants to the Taiji Palace.

As soon as they got to the stone steps in front of the Taiji Palace, they saw a man in an official uniform

coming down in a hurry.

Yun Shang took a closer look and couldn't help laughing.

It was Cao Han.

Cao Han also saw Yun Shang. He quickened his steps towards Yun Shang and bowed, "Greetings,

your Majesty."

"Get up." Yun Shang smiled casually, "Master Cao, have you just come out of the Taiji Palace?"

"Yes, your majesty." Cao Han replied respectfully, "I submitted a memorial yesterday. His majesty was

confused when he read it, so he summoned me to the Taiji Palace to have a talk about it."

Female members in the imperial household are not allowed to meddle with political officials, so Yun

Shang didn't ask him what the memorial was about. She only smiled and asked with concern, "How's

everything going in the Cao clan recently?"

Cao Han raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the four servants behind Yun Shang. He thought to

himself that since the Empress could ask such a question in front of them, it meant that she trusted the

four servants.

"Everything is fine," Cao Han lowered his eyes and replied. Then he lowered his voice and went on,

"but a few days ago, my eldest brother seemed to have received something. And after that, something

was wrong with him."

Yun Shang nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, I ordered someone to send it there."

After saying that, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes, "What's wrong with your brother?"

Cao Han's voice became lower and lower, "My eldest brother seemed to be frightened. He locked

himself in the study for a whole day without eating or drinking. Then he said that it was too hot recently,

and sent several concubines and children away. He said that they were going to a mansion of our

clan's for summer vacation."

"I have sent someone to follow them secretly. Although they were indeed heading for the mansion, we

have also found some clues."

"Oh? What clues? " Yun Shang was full of interest.

"It would take at most seven or eight days from the Jin City to that mansion, even if there is a slight

delay on the way. But the food they prepared is enough for so many people to walk on the road for

more than a month. "

Yun Shang nodded, "So you think your brother doesn't want his wife, concubines and children to the

mansion for summer vacation at all, but somewhere else?"

Cao Han nodded, "But they are now still on the way. I don't know where they are going."

Cao Han then asked in a low voice, "As for the thing that your majesty sent to my eldest brother... What

was it? Why was my eldest brother so afraid? Looking at the scene of my brother, it seemed that... As if

they were running for their lives. "

Of course they should run for their lives.

Yun Shang smiled. When Cao Yi saw the things from Mister Mingyi on his table, he must have known

that their matter had been exposed.

Kidnapping and imprisoning the Empress was a serious crime, generations of his family would be

implicated

Moreover, he must have done it behind the back of the others from the Cao clan. No one knew about it,

and he didn't dare to tell anyone else.

However, even a cornered rabbit had to bite someone. Since Cao Yi didn't dare to let others know, she

wouldn't tell them either. Otherwise, if the Cao clan knew that Cao Yi had committed such a serious

crime that would cause the whole Cao clan to be implicated, they would probably risk everything to Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

make a living.

"It's not something important. The spies just saw your brother hanging out with some escorts from the

Ricky palace by chance. I got the witnesses and material evidence. I just found it interesting after

hearing it, so I ordered someone to put some things your brother gave to the escort in his room.

Maybe your brother knew that his affairs with a gigolo had been known by others when he saw those

things. He was worried that if his reputation was exposed, it will affect the people in his family as well

as his children, so he wanted to send his wife and children away first to avoid the limelight."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Cao Han suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief. "Your Majesty

said... My eldest brother... had affairs with a gigolo? "

Yun Shang nodded. Looking at his expression, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What's

wrong? Didn't you know it? I thought everyone in the Cao clan knew about it. "

Cao Han shook his head, still unable to believe what he had heard, "I didn't know it. I really knew

nothing about it. I have arranged a lot of people around my eldest brother, but I have never heard that

he had affairs with a gigolo. "

"That's probably because your brother has hidden it well. I happened to place some spies in Ricky

palace, and it's just a good chance to see them. Your brother had hired several escorts in the Ricky

palace, but not through him or anyone else from the Cao mansion. He also bought some houses for

those escorts, which are connected to some restaurants and tea shops secretly.

Your brother sneaked out of the secret doors of those restaurant or tea houses to have a tryst with

those escorts."

Cao Han nodded thoughtfully.

After a long time, Cao Han raised his head and said, "Your Majesty said that your people found out my

brother's ridiculous affairs. Do you have all the evidence?"

"Of course. If it weren't for those evidences, I wouldn't have believed it. Besides, your brother wouldn't

have been so panic. "

"Then... Can you give me the evidence, your majesty? "
