Chapter 524 The stone tablet in front of the ancestral hall
In the past few days, ever since something happened in Prince Rui's Mansion, Yun Shang has been worried. Today, the big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, and Yun Shang slept particularly peacefully.
As soon as she woke up the next morning, before she even opened her eyes, she heard the sound of carriage wheels, and there was some bumps under her body. Yun Shang frowned, and it took her a while to realize that she might be on the road. She was startled and opened her eyes suddenly.
When she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw Luo Qingyan staring at her blankly.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment before taking a breath. Just now, she thought Luo Qingyan was going to send her somewhere else and not take her to Cangnan.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the carriage in front of her. The carriage was wider than the one she usually sat in. There was a thick layer of brocade quilt spread under Yun Shang, and there was a tiger skin on top. Luo Qingyan said
Sitting next to her, holding a book in his hand, he looked at her with burning eyes.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?" Luo Qingyan put down the book in his hand, stretched out his hand to take Yun Shang into his arms, and asked softly.
Yun Shang nodded gently, "Where are we now?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "We have already left Jincheng. Today we have to travel for a day and stay in Jin'an Town before dark." Luo Qingyan answered Yun Shang's question softly,
Then he lifted the teapot from the small stove in front, took a bowl, poured a bowl of ginger soup and handed it to Yun Shang: "Drink the ginger soup first. You were caught in the rain yesterday and your body is a little hot."
Yun Shang was still a little confused, so she nodded, took the ginger soup, raised her head and drank it all.
There was a bit of a smile in Luo Qingyan's eyes, "Good boy." After saying that, he took the empty bowl and put it aside. He took a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the wooden grid on the wall of the carriage and put it on the small table at hand.
On the table, he took a small piece, held it in his hand, and handed it to Yun Shang's mouth, "I asked the palace chef to make this when I left in the morning. You can try it and see how delicious it is."
Yun Shang took a bite from Luo Qingyan's hand and nodded lightly, "It's delicious."
After eating two sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, Yun Shang finally regained her composure. She opened the curtain and looked out. She saw farmland on all sides, with mountains and forests in the distance. The carriage was driving on the official road, but she couldn't see it.
Where have we arrived?
"Don't we have to rush to Cangnan City as soon as possible? It takes about ten days by carriage, right?" Yun Shang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan, frowning slightly.
Luo Qingyan also took a piece of plum blossom cake and took a bite. It was a bit too sweet. Luo Qingyan frowned slightly, but took a second bite before softly responding: "It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry."
Yun Shang was stunned. Yelang's army was already approaching the city, but he said he was not in a hurry? He knew clearly in his heart that he was worried about her current health and did not want her to ride around on horseback.
"How about a quick drink?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Luo Qingyan smiled: "I asked her to go to Jin'an Town to prepare the room first."
Yun Shang nodded lightly and made some calculations in her mind. Xia Huanyu claimed that she had been kidnapped by assassins. This could alleviate some of the suspicion in everyone's minds. Hua Guogong was poisoned, and Liu Yinfeng and Luo Qingyan successively
Missing, the three of them have special identities, and anyone who is interested will definitely think about the war in Yelang Kingdom.
If the Seventh Prince and Cangjue Qingsu received the news, they would probably think of Cangnan City.
But now that she is also missing, it can confuse their eyes. After all, everyone now knows that she is pregnant, and no one would have thought that she would put herself in danger.
However, if the Seventh Prince really joins forces with Cang Jue Qingsu, what is the content of their cooperation? Will Lingxi City be destroyed or not?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Yun Shang's mind. The seventh prince did this for the sake of the throne, and what did Cang Jue Qingsu do?
This question came to mind, and I quickly came up with the answer, city.
Although the Yelang Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, it is very extensive, lacking in resources, and the land is barren. Except for pasture, it is difficult for other things to grow. Therefore, most of the people in the Yelang Kingdom are poor.
When Cangjue Qingsu became king, he definitely wanted to achieve something. If he wanted to strengthen the Yelang Kingdom, the best way was to expand its territory and take other countries' fertile lands and prosperous cities as his own.
Cangjue Qingsu and the Seventh Prince joined forces, and it was probably Cangjue Qingsu who helped the Seventh Prince win the throne, and then the Seventh Prince handed over the border cities to Cangjue Qingsu.
If the Seventh Prince wants to become emperor, he must break the rumors that he is weak and incompetent. The best way is to make military exploits.
Yun Shang suddenly remembered Xia Huanyu's words in his mind, and he said, "Have you ever thought that many things may not be as you see them?"
Not as good as what she saw? What was he talking about? Did he mean Concubine Shen Shu? Or the Seventh Prince?
In Yun Shang's impression, since the death of Empress Hua, Xia Huanyu has embraced the harem. He should not be a person who is greedy for beauty. And although he seems to be very doting on Concubine Shen Shu, whenever he mentions Concubine Shen Shu,
There was no love in her eyes. Concubine Shen Shu was originally the maid of the queen. Although Yun Shang had never seen it, she could imagine that it was not long after Su Ruji became the queen and she was so arrogant that Xia Huanyu wanted to accept her.
Concubine Shen Shu is a concubine, and the queen must be extremely opposed to it.
Xia Huanyu dared to fall out with the Su family because of Concubine Shen Shu. If he didn't truly love her deeply, there was only one possibility. Concubine Shen Shu was a pawn chosen by Xia Huanyu.
But after Yun Shang came to the Xia Kingdom, what Concubine Shen Shu did, instigating the tribe to revolt, and secretly joining forces with the Seventh Prince, were all serious crimes.
If Concubine Shen Shu was just a chess piece, these actions would be tantamount to betraying Xia Huanyu. After Xia Huanyu found out about it, he did not abandon the chess piece, but blindly condoned and protected it. There is only one possibility, that is, Concubine Shen Shu did not
Betrayed Xia Huanyu. All her actions were ordered by Xia Huanyu.
Including instigating tribesmen to revolt, including joining forces with the seventh prince and the eldest princess.
Yun Shang's eyelids twitched suddenly, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. Perhaps because she was too shocked, Yun Shang opened her mouth wide, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes.
Luo Qingyan's eyes have been falling on Yun Shang from time to time. Seeing Yun Shang's appearance, he turned his head and looked at Yun Shang steadily: "What's wrong? But what happened?"
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said softly: "I was thinking about something, and I was scared by my own thoughts."
When Luo Qingyan heard what Yun Shang said, he couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense are you thinking about? You can scare yourself. You still have a little person in your belly now. Don't think too much.
It’s not good for your health.”
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh and nodded lightly, thinking that her idea just now was indeed a bit bizarre. Xia Huanyu had no idea why he wanted Concubine Shen Shu's clan to revolt, and why he wanted Concubine Shen Shu and the Seventh Prince to rebel.
Should we unite to deal with him?
When it got dark, the carriage arrived at Jin'an Town. Luo Qingyan took a curtain hat and put it on Yun Shang. He also took a human skin mask from the cage on the carriage and handed it to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang said with a smile: "Then I have Mrs. Lao."
The carriage walked for a while in the town and then stopped. Luo Qingyan got off the carriage first, then turned around and helped Yun Shang to walk out. When Yun Shang got off the carriage, he saw Qian Zui dressed as a man, standing in the carriage.
In front of the nearby inn called Qingshanju. As soon as she saw Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, Qianzui hurriedly greeted them, "Eldest Young Master, Young Madam, the room has been booked. It's the first one on the left on the third floor.
"
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, helped Yun Shang into the Qingshan Residence, and went straight upstairs.
Perhaps it was because Jin'an was not far from Jincheng. Although it was just a small town, it was still very lively and the inn had a good environment. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang entered the room, and Qian Zui quickly followed them.
Come in.
Yun Shang sat down on the stool, then raised her head to look at Qian Zui, and said with a smile: "You have lost weight, have you suffered in the past few days?"
Qian Zui also had a somewhat excited look in his eyes, smiled, and then lowered his head: "I know your mistake. I will definitely not cause trouble in the future."
After such a trip, Qian Zui has learned to behave a little better, and Yun Shang feels a little relieved in her heart. A little Qian Zui is good, but her temper is a little more impatient, and she is a little straighter. This kind of temper is good or bad, okay
I can't hide my crooked intestines. The bad thing is that if I keep acting like this, bad things will happen.
"It's good to know your mistake. I'm afraid you will be frightened too. You must be more careful in the future." Yun Shang said with a soft smile.
Qianzui nodded, and Luo Qingyan whispered, "I've been riding in the carriage all day. I'm afraid Shang'er is also hungry. Qianzui go ask the shopkeeper to cook some food and deliver it to the room."
Qian Zui responded and exited the door.
After having dinner, it was still a bit early, because Luo Qingyan had already arranged secret guards to lurk around the town, and everything that needed to be cleaned up in the town had been cleaned up. Luo Qingyan didn't have anything to worry about, so he
He took Yun Shang downstairs with him.
It was dinner time, and there were people on the first and second floors downstairs. Qianzui found an empty table on the second floor where Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang sat down. On the second floor downstairs, there was a storyteller who was telling a story.
.
With a slap in the face, the storyteller's face was filled with an unfathomable expression: "I just told you about the haunting at Li Wanwan's house in the west of town. Let's talk about another thing about ghosts and ghosts. Something happened in the town today. There must be something.
Many people already know it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know it. I will tell you now.”
"By the way, early this morning, in front of the Baijia Ancestral Hall in the east of the town, a big guy three feet tall and three feet wide suddenly appeared. I heard that when it was dawn this morning, the thing fell from the sky and landed at the main entrance of the ancestral hall.
Ex. What do you think it is?"
People below were shouting, "Quickly tell me, what exactly is it?"
The storyteller Jingtangmu clapped his hands again and said loudly: "It's a stone tablet. On it is engraved what seems to be a person's birth date, and below it are four big words: Destiny."
The people below were whispering, but a thunder suddenly flashed in Yun Shang's mind: Isn't that... what she told the Queen about how to deal with Concubine Shen Shu? (To be continued)
