An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 12 Disturbance

"Your Highness! Your Highness..." Qin Meng seemed anxious as she rushed into Qingxin Hall. Seeing the princess asleep in her bed, she stamped her feet. Then she bit her lip, and pulled the quilt off from Yun Shang. "Your Highness, something has happened!"

Yun Shang moaned, and slowly opened her eyes. Just as quickly, she closed her eyes again. After a short while she spoke in a languid voice, "What is the matter? Why do you wake me up at this hour? What has happened?"

Qin Meng saw Yun Shang was about to fall asleep again and hurriedly spoke, "Your Highness, you should get up! Someone died!"

"What did you say?" Yun Shang's body suddenly went rigid and her eyes snapped open. "Who is dead? And what is the cause of death? Have you sent for the Supervisory Office?"

Qin Meng rushed to answer, "The dead person's name is Xiang Lan*. She was a maid who used to sweep the floors in your Hall. Her body was found by a passing maid in the lake in front of your Hall. They say she drowned." Qin Meng paused and bit her lips as if she had more to say, but dared not say it.

Yun Shang ordered, "What else? Speak up."

Qin Meng sighed and continued, "When I passed by, I overheard the maids say that Your Highness's bracelet was found in Xiang Lan's hand. They also said that Your Highness was likely to be the murderer."

"My bracelet?" Yun Shang sat up. She looked at her maid, "Are you sure that they were talking about a bracelet, not anything else?"

Qin Meng nodded. "I'm sure that they were talking about a bracelet."
