Chapter 1269 The Secret Of Colors
Do you remember Lady Li?
Wang Wenxiang said four colors.
"What's the association between a person and colors?"
Yun Shang murmured subconsciously.
Hearing Yun Shang's question, Hua'er thought Yun Shang was asking them, so she said directly,
"Clothes have colors."
Yun Shang was surprised. She looked up at Hua'er and asked, "Clothes?"
Hua'er nodded. Seeing that Yun Shang was staring at her, she hesitated," Everyone... Everyone has to
wear clothes, right? "
"Yes, everyone has to wear clothes. When you saw a person, the first thing you saw was her clothes. "
Yun Shang was about to leave.
Hua 'er and Pei Lan followed her in a hurry. "Where are you going, your majesty?"
"I have to go to the Xiangyi Palace again."
There were still guards outside the Xiangyi Palace. Seeing Yun Shang coming, they took out the key
and opened the gate without waiting for Yun Shang's order.
However, Yun Shang didn't go in immediately. She turned around and ordered Pei Lan, "Go to the the
Neishi Bureau and ask the whereabouts of the servants who had been serving Lady Li before. Bring
them here."
Pei Lan replied and left in a hurry.
Yun Shang went straight to the bedroom after entering the Xiangyi Palace.
Previously, after Yun Shang found the map, in order to hide it from others, she had asked people to
search everywhere in the Xiangyi Palace. Although she tried her best to keep it the same, the things in
the palace still had some changes in position and appearance.
"Go and open the wooden cabinet and suitcase for me to have a look."
Hua'er quickly walked forward and opened the door of the wooden cabinet as Yun Shang ordered.
Then she pulled out the two suitcases beside and opened them.
Noticing that Yun Shang was looking at the suitcases and cabinets, Hua'er explained, "Normally, the
servants would sort out the clothes their master usually wears and place them in the cabinets for
convenient access. The suitcase is usually placed with clothes that their master doesn't usually wear,
or clothes that don't match the current season. "
Yun Shang nodded and looked at the two suitcases first. There were clothes of all colors and patterns.
After Lady Li was grounded here, many things had been taken away by those servants. But the clothes
were special because the clothes for the masters in the Palace were quite different from the ordinary
clothes outside. Moreover, everyone's size was different, so the clothes might not be suitable for them.
So all these clothes were left.
Most of them looked new and delicate. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Yun Shang glanced at the two boxes and then looked at the cabinet beside.
There were not many clothes in the wardrobe. There were about more than 10 clothes outside, but the
colors were quite repeated.
Yun Shang pursed her lips and looked at the clothes in the cabinet. Moon white, water pink, peachy
red, and emerald green. She found three of the colors in the cabinet, moon white, water pink, peachy
red. But there was no emerald green.
Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the clothes and thought to herself, 'Judging from the colors of the clothes
that Lady Li usually wears, these should be her favorite colors.'
Yun Shang stepped forward, took the clothes and handed them to Hua'er. "Check them carefully to see
if there is anything hidden in them."
"Yes." Hua Er took it over and looked at them. Then she unfolded the clothes on the ground one by one
and carefully checked them.
Yun Shang stood aside and watched Hua'er carefully check the inside and outside of the clothes.
But she didn't find anything.
Yun Shang frowned. Didn't Wang Wenxiang mean that there was something hidden in Lady Li's
clothes?
"Find out all the clothes of the four colors in the suitcase and check them all."
Hua'er did as she was told.
There were many clothes of these colors in the wardrobe. Hua'er checked all the clothes for two hours,
but still found nothing.
Yun Shang frowned more and more tightly. When she was wondering if she had misunderstood, Pei
Lan's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, I've brought them here."
"Bring them in."
Yun Shang turned around and saw Pei Lan coming in with two maids.
"Your majesty, the two maids used to serve Lady Li. After Lady Li was under house arrest, the two
maids were sent back to the Neishi Bureau and allocated to work elsewhere."
Yun Shang nodded and looked up and down at the two maids. "How long had you served Lady Li?"
The two maids lowered their heads, and the maid in green on the left answered in a low voice, "I had
served Lady Li for three years."
Another maid in blue answered, "I had served for four years."
"Do you know what color Lady Li likes to wear most?"
"Moon white, peachy red."
"Sometimes she would wear water pink, crimson and begonia clothes. Her highness likes bright
clothes. They can match her skin. "
Yun Shang nodded. They colors they told were in indeed those in the wardrobe.
"Then... What about emerald green? "
"Lady Li seldom wore emerald green clothes."
Yun Shang rolled up the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said, "Did Lady Ming wear emerald
green clothes last year?"
The two servants thought for a while, and the maid in blue suddenly saw a emerald green dress
unfolding on the ground. Her eyes lit up. "She worn once, and it was this one."
Yun Shang looked at the ground and saw the emerald green long dress embroidered with silk. It
seemed to be a summer dress. Although it was emerald green, it looked like a layer of smoke. The
hemline of the dress was embroidered with plum blossoms, bright and beautiful.
"It was at the end of last spring. Her highness didn't like emerald green clothes at all. But this one
looked a little lighter. It looked great when she wore it outside a moon white dress. Her highness worn it
once."
Yun Shang smiled and looked at the maid in blue, "You have a good memory. Do you remember who
Lady Li met the day she wore this dress?"
"Who did she met?" The maid in blue frowned and said, "She must have met a lot of people. Lady Li
was helping the Empress with the imperial household affairs at that time, and she should have seen the
stewards of all the palaces and bureaus."
"What about Steward Wang from the Imperial Library? Did she see her that day? "
