The Duke's wife must have been resting for a while. When she heard the sound, the nanny beside her quickly opened the door with a lantern. She was also startled when she saw Yun Shang: "Ah, it's already this hour.
Why is Princess Rui here?"
Yun Shang hurriedly said: "Mom, please wake up the old lady and tell me that I have something urgent to see you. It's a very urgent matter."
Seeing that Yun Shang's complexion was not very good, the nanny quickly responded, "Hey, hey, I'll go right now." After saying that, she turned around and walked into the house.
Yun Shang also followed behind Grandma Na. As soon as she entered the front hall door, the old lady's voice came from inside: "Grandma Qi, what's the matter? But what happened?"
The nanny quickly responded: "Old madam, it's Princess Rui who's here, saying she has something urgent to see you."
"Shang'er?" The voice of the Duke's wife was a bit surprised. After hearing this, she came back to her hometown and said repeatedly: "Quickly, bring Chang'er in."
Aunt Qi then opened the curtain and held a lantern in her hand to let Yun Shang enter the inner room. After entering the inner room, Aunt Qi quickly lit all the lamps in the room. The Duke's wife had already sat down.
He stood up, wearing only his middle coat, and his silver hair was disheveled.
"Now that I'm getting older, I can't sleep well at night. I'll wake up whenever there is any disturbance. Aunt Qi, come and change my clothes. Chang'er came here in such a hurry, but something happened? What happened?
"The old lady raised her hand to comb her hair and said continuously.
Hearing this, Yun Shang hurriedly walked to the bed and knelt down. The duke and his wife were shocked, and she quickly got out of bed regardless of the fact that she was only wearing a middle coat: "What's going on? What happened?
What's the matter, you want to tell me? Why are you kneeling down all the time?"
Yun Shang bit her lip before handing the memorial that Wang Yunzhi had handed to her earlier to the Duke's wife. The Duke's wife was stunned when she saw the cover, "Memorial? Who wrote this memorial? Look at the color.
, wasn’t it written lightly? How come it’s in your hands?”
"Grandma, please take a look at what is written in this memorial." Yun Shang finally spoke, her voice a bit hoarse.
The Duke's wife was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly opened the memorial and read it carefully. As her eyes moved, her expression gradually became excited, and her body gradually started to tremble slightly. After reading the memorial,
After reading the content, he hurriedly stood up and grabbed Yun Shang's hand and said: "Is this memorial written true? But is it true? Ling'er is really still alive?"
The Duke's wife was also very strong. Yun Chang bit her lip before speaking: "For this matter, please forgive Grandma Chang'er and Qing Yan for not retaliating..."
The Duke's wife was stunned again when she heard what Yun Shang said, "Crime of non-revenge? What do you mean? You and Qingyan already knew about this?" The Duke's wife frowned, her face was a little ugly, but her expression was different.
Gradually he calmed down, and looked at Yun Shang steadily. After a while, he took two steps back, sat down on the bed, and his voice returned to calmness: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Come on, I hope you can tell me without hiding anything."
Yun Shang gently nodded, kowtowed to the Duke's wife and said: "In fact, Qingyan and I already knew the news that Queen Hua was still alive in Ningguo. We knew about it because His Majesty brought it to us.
A painting by Ning Guo and a painting of Empress Hua." Yun Shang calmed down her emotions a little before she said, "When I saw that painting for the first time, I felt that there was something in it.
The person in the painting was somewhat familiar. Later, I went back and thought about it carefully for a long time, and then I remembered that I had seen the person in the painting before, in the Imperial City of Ningguo."
The Duke's wife's hands were trembling slightly, and her heart was extremely excited, but she did not interrupt Yun Shang's words. She just kept staring at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang bit her lip and then said softly: "The person I'm thinking of who looks very similar to Empress Hua in the painting is my imperial sister's mother-in-law, the widow of a general in Ningguo, Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao
He is about forty years old, but he looks younger. He has a child and is also a general of Ning State. Because I found that Mrs. Zhao has some similarities in appearance with Queen Hua, I sent someone to check out Zhao.
Old lady."
"Through the investigation by secret guards, I discovered that Mrs. Zhao was a woman that General Zhao rescued at the border more than 20 years ago. However, when General Zhao rescued her, she had completely lost her memory and had no idea who she was.
I don’t know where I came from, or if I have any relatives. General Zhao fell in love with her and kept her with him. The woman also liked the battlefield, and later she got married to General Zhao, and they had two children.
I gave birth to a boy." Yun Shang quietly glanced at the expression of the Duke's wife, and saw that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She gritted her teeth before continuing.
"I saw that the time when Mrs. Zhao was found by General Zhao was not far from the time when Empress Hua disappeared, so I suspected that Mrs. Zhao was Empress Hua, but I couldn't confirm it. I'm afraid the prince also discovered this later.
, after sending people to investigate, he also went to the border in person. I don’t know what the prince experienced at the border. I only know that after returning from the border, the prince seemed to be sure that Mrs. Zhao was Queen Hua.
However, he already has a new life of his own and is completely unaware of the things he has experienced before. The prince felt that this was also the best for Empress Hua, so he did not bother him anymore, and we just pretended not to know about it...
…" There was a slight sigh in Yun Shang's voice.
The body of Madam Guo Gong had been trembling. After Yun Shang finished speaking, there was silence in the room for a long time. After a while, Yun Shang heard Madam Guo Gong's voice with a hint of sobs: "My Ling'er, she
Still alive..."
Yun Shang felt a little sour inexplicably. The Duke's wife must have loved Empress Hua very much. After knowing that Empress Hua was gone, she must have been sad for a long time, and she has been silently searching for the murderer. Yun Shang yesterday
When they came to the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's wife even asked Yun Shang to investigate the Su Mansion. She felt that the Su Mansion had harmed her daughter.
Now that he knows that his daughter, who has been dead for more than 20 years, is still alive, how can he not be excited?
Yun Shang couldn't bear to see the Duke's wife in tears, so she quickly lowered her head, bit her lip lightly and said no more.
After a long while, Yun Shang heard the Duke's wife say: "Then General Zhao, is he nice to Ling'er?"
The tip of Yun Shang's nose felt sour again, and she almost shed tears: "Excellent, Old General Zhao has only married Mrs. Zhao in his life, and he loves her very much."
"That's good." The Duke's wife murmured, saying it several times in a row, "That's good."
Yun Shang then said cruelly: "It's just that the seventh prince seems to have discovered that Queen Hua is still alive. Now Queen Hua and her children are guarding Kangyang City. The general guarding the city outside Kangyang City is called
Feng Ming belongs to the Seventh Prince, and it was Feng Ming who sent this envelope."
The Duke's wife was stunned and her face turned a little pale: "Seventh Prince? What does he want to do?"
After saying that, he quickly shook his head and said: "No, you must not let your majesty know that Ling'er is still alive. Over the years, although I can't get used to the appearance of your majesty's harem of three thousand people, I understand better than anyone else that your majesty
How deep is the obsession with Ling'er? You may not know that except for Queen Hua, the other concubines in the harem now have some imagination with Ling'er. If His Majesty knows that Ling'er is still alive,
With your Majesty's temperament, you will definitely not let Ling'er go. Now Ling'er has lost his memory again, and he was married to someone else before and had a child."
As the Duke's wife spoke, her face became much paler, and she shook her head repeatedly: "Your Majesty cannot know."
Yun Shang hurriedly said: "I thought so too. I asked someone to pick up the book and sent people to get rid of the people sent by Feng Ming. However, His Majesty has been silent. I'm afraid he will use it.
It won't be long before the Seventh Prince will guess that we have tampered with it. At that time, if the Seventh Prince reports it to His Majesty in person... Your Majesty will also know about it sooner or later."
The Duke's wife nodded, and then noticed that Yun Shang was still kneeling on the ground, so she quickly pulled Yun Shang up and said, "What are you doing kneeling down? The weight is exposed on the ground." After a pause, she continued, "You
How did you originally want to do it?”
Yun Shang bit her lip and then said: "I came to see my grandmother because I wanted to go to Kangyang City in person. Your Majesty will only know about Queen Hua's matter sooner or later. I thought, rather than passively accept it, when the time comes
Queen Hua doesn’t know anything. It’s better for me to go to Kangyang City and tell Queen Hua about this matter in detail and hear what she thinks.”
Yun Shang saw that the Duke's wife was listening attentively with her eyebrows furrowed and did not speak, so she continued to explain: "Firstly, Queen Hua is also a party involved, so she should know about this matter. Secondly, it is better to discuss it with her in detail so that we can find it."
The countermeasures must be arranged before His Majesty knows about it. And since I am the Princess of Ning State, she will believe my words and it will be convenient for her to act."
The Duke's wife was still silent for a long time before she said softly: "Tell her that you don't need to take care of me and the old man. If she doesn't want to, there is no need to go back to the Xia Kingdom. We know that she is still alive and well, so then
enough."
Since the Duke's wife has spoken like this, it proves that she agrees with Yun Shang's idea. Yun Shang quickly agreed and then said softly: "It's just that there are a lot of people staring at me in Jincheng. I think
It’s not easy to leave Jincheng, I’m afraid I’ll need my grandmother’s help.”
The Duke's wife nodded, "What do you want to do?"
Yun Shang explained her thoughts to the Duke of Guo's wife in detail. After a long time, the Duke of Guo's wife nodded lightly and agreed.
Yun Shang saluted the Duke's wife again, then said that he would go back to arrange other things, and then leave Jincheng when the city gate opens tomorrow.
The Duke's wife responded softly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "When you come back, tell me what happened to Ling'er in Ningguo."
The tip of Yun Shang's nose was slightly sour, and she quickly responded before retreating. (To be continued)
