Yun Shang nodded slightly and walked in. She saw the Xiangzhu Palace was brightly lit and a palace maid waiting at the door. When she saw Yun Shang, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and inform Your Majesty first."
Yun Shang responded and then carefully sorted out his thoughts.
"Princess, Your Majesty invites you." The palace attendant hurriedly walked out and said softly, leading Yun Shang into the Xiangzhu Hall.
Xia Huanyu was sitting under the lamp reading a book. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang. His eyes moved to Ning Qian who was holding embroidery at the side, and then he said calmly, "It's so late.
What's the matter with coming here?"
Yun Shang quickly knelt on the ground and saluted, "Your Majesty, when my wife and the prince moved into the palace, they were too hasty and did not clean up the palace. Today, my wife went to the Duke's Mansion as a guest.
, he ordered his servants to clean the courtyard. Unexpectedly, they found a witchcraft doll in an unused courtyard. On the witchcraft doll was written his Majesty’s name and birthday.”
"What?" A coldness suddenly appeared in Xia Huanyu's eyes.
"My wife was not in the mansion at that time. The servant who discovered the witchcraft doll was also an old man in the mansion. Instead of reporting the matter, she spread the news privately. When the housekeeper found out, the servant who discovered the witchcraft doll was also an old man in the mansion.
The man has died violently, and the witch doll has disappeared. My wife is deeply aware that this matter is of great importance, so she went to the palace late at night to report. Fortunately, Your Majesty has not rested yet." Yun Shang lowered his head, maybe he had just arrived.
I was a little anxious, a thin layer of sweat seeped out of my vest, my undershirt was already wet, and it felt a little uncomfortable against my body.
After not hearing Xia Huanyu's response for a long time, Yun Shang's eyes fell on her knees, where a plum blossom was embroidered in full bloom.
"Prince Rui can enter the palace?" Yun Shang heard Xia Huanyu's voice after a long while, which was a bit chilling.
Yun Shang responded quickly, "Here he is, but at this time, it is inconvenient for the prince to enter the harem. He specially asked his wife to report. The prince is waiting in the meeting hall at this time."
Xia Huanyu said "Yes" and stood up, "In that case, let's go to the meeting hall. If you want to go back to the house, tell Liu Wen'an and ask him to send some guards to take you back."
The meaning of this was that he did not want Yun Shang to follow him to the meeting hall. Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then responded, "Yes, I understand."
Xia Huanyu then walked around Yun Shang and walked out of the palace. The sound of "Your Majesty has taken off" rang throughout the Xiangzhu Palace.
After Xia Huanyu left, Ning Qian asked the palace attendants to retreat, walked to Yun Shang, helped Yun Shang stand up, and pulled her to sit on a chair beside her. "Master, I always calm down in situations."
, but this time it was a bit reckless."
Seeing that Yun Shang was silent, Ning Qian said softly, "Master wants to come and report to His Majesty before the enemy. This is naturally not wrong. However, Master can do better. Now that Prince Rui has appeared in the palace,
Then the master might as well let some of those things appear in every palace in the palace and every palace in the imperial city. Then it will be a good show. There will definitely be some who have discovered it but are in a hurry to destroy it.
The master framed the crime. The master only needs to sit back and watch, and the real culprit will soon get into trouble."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Ning Qian for a long time before she smiled slightly and said, "Your idea is indeed a good one. It's not too late to do it now. Today, I will stay in the Xiangzhu Palace while the prince is discussing matters."
I am with His Majesty, and His Majesty will never suspect me."
Ning Qian pondered for a moment and nodded, "Master has a clever move. I will order someone to make arrangements."
"Remember to make the witchcraft doll with fabrics from the palace, but it cannot be too rare fabrics. The palace people can make clothes, and they must leave no traces. You can make as much as you can, and let it go immediately after it is finished.
If you go and use old threads, your embroidery skills must not be exposed." Yun Shang ordered softly.
Ning smiled slightly and responded, "Don't worry, Master."
Yun Shang saw Ning Qian calling people in and arranging everything in an orderly manner, and she felt a little emotional, "It seems that a place like the palace is really the most training place. You used to do things safely, but you did it in the right way.
Nowadays, people are more cautious, and I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.”
After Ning Qian finished arranging things, she turned around and said to Yun Shang with a smile, "In this palace, the food and drink are the best, and I think it's quite good. I was born in a brothel. If I hadn't been taken care of by my master,
I saved my life with my old master, but I was afraid that I would have to watch my mother being tortured to death, and I would not be able to escape that fate. I know that the master has always been a little guilty for letting me enter the palace, but this path is his own choice.
, and I am very satisfied with my current life."
Yun Shang lowered his head, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
"Since the master is not going back to the house tonight, he should go to the side hall to rest for a while. I will listen to the report from the palace servants. Princess Tai'an will come early tomorrow morning. The master now only needs to recharge his batteries and wait.
Just watch the show tomorrow." Ning said with a slight smile.
Yun Shang nodded, and Ning Qian personally held the lamp and walked with Yun Shang to the side hall, "The bed tents, sheets and bedding are all newly replaced. Please let Qian Meng wait on the master to wash himself."
After saying that, a woman dressed as a palace maid came out. When Yun Shang heard that her name was Qian Meng, she knew that she was one of her own. She smiled and nodded slightly, "In the future, you don't have to call me master in the palace.
If anyone who cares hears it, it will definitely cause an uproar."
Ning responded with a slight smile, bowed and then retreated.
Early the next morning, I really heard a voice coming from outside, "Last night you said that the emperor had an order not to let anyone see him. Now it's almost time for the morning court, why hasn't the emperor come out yet?"
The voice was a bit domineering, as if he was questioning the palace people outside the palace. Yun Shang sat up hugging the quilt and saw Qian Meng already waiting aside.
"Master, are you getting up?" Qian Meng asked with a slight smile.
Yun Shang rubbed her forehead and nodded, "Get dressed."
After putting on clothes, washing up and combing her hair, Yun Chang walked out of the side hall and saw Ning Qian walking out of the main hall. Ning Qian smiled at Yun Chang and nodded, then raised her head.
He said to the palace attendant at the door, "Open the door."
As soon as the door opened, Tai'an's voice suddenly became louder, "Slave dog, I will definitely take your dog's head after I report it to my brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple figure appeared at the entrance of the palace. Princess Tai'an was elegant and elegant in a purple floor-length dress, and her head was also covered with tiaras. She had a huge emerald walking wave and a peony flower on her head.
But his face looked a bit ferocious because he was angry.
Princess Tai'an walked towards the palace aggressively, but her footsteps suddenly stopped. Her eyes fell on Ning Qian, then looked at Yun Shang, her face full of astonishment.
Ning Qian knew that she must be overthinking, so she smiled and said, "Princess Tai'an came to Xiangzhu Palace so early to have something to do with His Majesty? It's just an unfortunate coincidence. In the middle of the night last night, Prince Rui and Princess Rui entered the palace. Liu
The father-in-law came in a hurry to say something to His Majesty, and His Majesty went to the meeting hall to discuss government affairs with Prince Rui. He did not come back all night. Princess Rui entered the palace with Prince Rui, but it was too late, so
Rested in the side hall."
Princess Tai'an's expression suddenly became very ugly, "I asked to see the Emperor's brother last night. Your palace servants said that the Emperor's brother had an order and no one was allowed to disturb him. Why were they able to see me?"
Ning Qian smiled slightly, "His Majesty did say that no one should disturb me. I just heard from Eunuch Liu that His Majesty also issued a decree that if he is Prince Rui, he can meet him directly no matter where he is."
Princess Tai'an stamped her feet fiercely, glared at Ning Qian, turned around and walked out of the palace.
"This princess is spoiled by the Queen Mother, and her temperament is really a bit unflattering. I'm afraid there is no princess like her in the world. She has no consort, but hundreds of faces, even more than His Majesty's harem.
It was a bit spectacular and a bit displeased, so he killed the palace people and their faces at will. I see, what happened yesterday is probably related to her. You just sent the letter yesterday, and she was here
There was a commotion outside the palace asking to see the Emperor, so I was a little distracted and said something irritating to His Majesty, but the Emperor said no, so I calmed down." Ning Qian looked at the purple skirt that disappeared in front of the palace door.
He walked to Yun Shang and whispered.
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "When I came here yesterday, I happened to see her outside the palace. She seemed to have been waiting for a while. But if the queen, other princes, or other princes' accomplices did this, I would understand.
.But she is just a princess, and since we have just arrived in Xia Kingdom, we should have no grudges against her, so why would she do this?"
After hearing this, Ning Qian was silent for a moment and then said softly, "This matter is indeed a bit strange. It's just that although Princess Tai'an is a bit domineering, she is not a person with ideas. I feel that she may have been manipulated by others.
, was used as a knife."
"If that's the case, then the person behind her should be investigated carefully, so that she won't be plotted against without knowing who her opponent is." Yun Shang said calmly, but she didn't agree with Ning Qian's words in her heart.
As Ning Qian said yesterday, this palace is the place where there is no shortage of scheming. A princess with a noble status is true. She grew up in the public. Either she was plotted by others, or she was used to seeing others scheming.
Princess Tai'an is already in her thirties, and she would not believe it if it was so easy for her to be coaxed into doing such dangerous things.
The palace of the Xia Kingdom is indeed much more interesting than that of the Ning Kingdom. Yun Shang smiled slightly. Where there are many women, there are more schemes. Previously, there were only about ten concubines in the Ning Kingdom Palace, but they caused so much farce.
, there are dozens of concubines in the harem of Xia Kingdom.
"Are the witch dolls ready? Next, it's time to choose a place for the witch dolls to show up." Yun Shang said with a smile. (To be continued)
