The seventh prince didn't seem to be surprised at Yun Shang's arrival. He just raised his head and looked at Yun Shang with a smile, and pulled the iron chain that bound his hands, causing countless splashes of water.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to save me?" the seventh prince said with a smile. Although he was imprisoned in the water prison, his hands and feet were tied with iron chains, and his clothes were soaked by the water. There was still a smile on his face,
It seemed like he didn't care at all.
Hearing this, Yun Shang also laughed slowly, with some interest in her eyes, "The seventh prince is joking, I am just a weak woman, and I don't know why the seventh prince is locked up here, nor
Knowing how to rescue the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince will not make things difficult for me. When I come, I will not take time to see how the Seventh Prince is doing..."
The Seventh Prince nodded with a light smile, "It's really good, except that the blisters have been soaked for too long, and I'm afraid my legs will become useless. If my sister-in-law cares that I am Prince Rui's brother, why don't you tell me,
Can you let me stay in another place?"
Yun Shang's smile became brighter: "How could it be? I heard that the Seventh Prince had already escaped, but he was deliberately discovered and captured. The Seventh Prince must have liked being locked up.
It’s inside, otherwise I wouldn’t do it this way.”
"I like it, but this water prison is really not very popular." The seventh prince smiled bitterly. Seeing that Yun Shang didn't want to say anything, he smiled and said to Yun Shang, "By the way, I heard that Hua
I have found the Queen, so congratulations to my eldest brother. My father is very infatuated with Empress Hua. With Empress Hua here, it will be just around the corner for my eldest brother to ascend the throne."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, chuckled and said: "What the Seventh Prince said is absolutely true, but I don't know if the Seventh Prince will see that day. The water is really a bit cold, I can't stand it here.
Feeling cold, I am pregnant, so I will not chat with the Seventh Prince."
The seventh prince smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law has to help her elder brother protect Queen Hua, and also protect the child in sister-in-law's belly..."
"Thank you, Seventh Prince, for reminding me." Yun Shang said with a smile, then turned around and slowly walked out of the water prison. Yun Shang noticed that there was a gaze following her...
"This seventh prince is really a bit arrogant. Princess, let your slaves send secret guards to torture him again and see how stubborn he can be." Qian Zui was a little displeased and snorted coldly.
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Why bother with him."
Yun Shang returned to the courtyard and said calmly: "It is indeed the Seventh Prince. He is not pretending to be someone else. Moreover, he also knows about Queen Hua and knows that Queen Hua is in Lingxi. So what is the purpose of his escape this time?
What? He must have done something during the time he left the prison, and it was definitely not something like delivering news, but something that required his presence."
There was no way to know what the seventh prince did after he left the prison, and there was no way to investigate. Yun Shang thought about it all night, but couldn't figure out the reason, so she had to give up.
Luo Qingyan's army has already arrived at Zana, and Duke Hua has also brought Gan Ying's soldiers to the border, waiting for a fierce battle.
Although Yun Shang knew that Luo Qingyan had made complete preparations, she was still slightly worried. On the battlefield, the sword had no eyes and was changing rapidly. No matter how careful the plan was, it could not be guaranteed to be foolproof.
At the same time, Yun Shang also received a message from Qianyin, saying that Wang Wanzhi had received news from the palace that His Majesty had approved Su Qi's resignation. Su Qi did not seem to have expected such a result. For several days, he
The government summoned many ministers from the DPRK and China who were in the same camp as him, and there seemed to be a conspiracy.
In Jincheng, rumors are now rampant. Several rumors spread by Yun Shang have also caused an uproar among the people. For a time, the entire Jincheng is talking about it. The rumors have also reached the ears of many officials in the court.
There were many people in China and the court who had always been at odds with the Su family, so they took this opportunity to report it to His Majesty.
Xia Huanyu had always wanted to abolish the queen. Since he had seized this opportunity, he would not let it go. In front of all the officials, he took the queen to the Taiji Palace and sent the imperial doctor to take the queen's pulse.
Afterwards, the imperial doctor immediately concluded that the queen was infertile.
When Su Ruji heard this, she almost fainted and fell into the Tai Chi Palace, shouting that it was impossible. Then she invited several imperial doctors and even private doctors to come, but the result was the same.
Then, a servant who had been serving the Queen for many years leaked the news, saying that when the Queen was pregnant with the former prince, every time the imperial physician came to take the pulse, the Queen always did not allow anyone in the palace, and the imperial physician could only take the pulse through the bed curtain.
.
Others say that the doctor who asked for the Queen's pulse in the past twenty years was all the same person, and that this person had been on good terms with the Su family and received favors from Su Qi.
All the rumors were extremely unfavorable to the Queen. At this time, Li Qianmo, the Minister of Punishment, found out again that a hunter had seen a group of sneaky people while hunting in the mountains near the cliff where Queen Hua fell.
During their conversation, Master Su and the assassination were mentioned. The hunter also handed over several jade pendants, all of which had the private seals of the Su family. According to the hunter's account, he heard those men in black say, "You can't do that."
After his identity was exposed, he took off the jade pendants on his body, dug a hole and buried them. The hunter became selfish and secretly dug out all the jade pendants. Seeing that the jade was of good quality, he took it for himself. Later he wanted to
Looking for an opportunity to sell it, he found that it had Su Qi's private seal on it, so he didn't dare to do anything rashly, so he kept it.
The two things happened at the same time, and the court was furious for a while. Xia Huanyu was so angry that he ordered the empress to be abolished.
This time, after all the witnesses and material evidence were in place, no one dared to raise objections.
Yun Shang laughed when she heard this, "What a pity. I wasn't in Jincheng at that time. I really want to see what the queen's face was like and what her reaction was."
Qianyin also sent a message saying that Xia Huanyu had left Jincheng again and seemed to be heading to Lingxi. This time, he was well prepared and had brought many secret guards with him. Both the Imperial Guard and the Royal Forest Army had been mobilized.
.
Su Qi and the Queen, however, took the lead before Xia Huanyu and headed towards Lingxi City.
Yun Shang squinted her eyes, Lingxi City was just a small town, and in so many years, it had never welcomed such a big person at the same time. It seemed that things were really going to change today.
"Princess, should we send someone to rob and kill Su Ruji and Su Qi's father and daughter?" Qianzuo's eyes flashed with excitement. After hearing the secret guard's report, he hurriedly asked.
Yun Shang laughed and said, "Leave Su Ruji and Su Qi to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will handle it yourself. We can't do anything now. After all, there is a very important person around us who needs to be protected. Su Ruji and Su Qi have not arrived yet."
, does not mean that the assassin has not arrived. Please go ahead and ask all the secret guards to be on guard and protect the old lady."
"Yes." Qian Zui agreed and stopped mentioning the matter of robbing and killing Su's father and daughter.
The weather in June gradually became sultry, and in the evening, thunder began to blow. Mrs. Zhang quickly brought a qualified glass lampshade herself and replaced the lampshade made of cloth embroidered with pictures of ladies.
, smiled and said: "Just now I heard thunder and remembered that the lampshades in the guest house are all made of cloth. They look good, but if the wind blows, the lamps will go out easily, so I hurriedly brought the colored ones over.
"
Yun Shang nodded gently and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, madam."
Mrs. Zhang's face turned slightly red, she lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, and replied: "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it." Then she ordered people to carefully check the drainage ditches around the house before leaving.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhang's leaving figure with a faint gaze, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang is a blessed person. Although she married an inhumane before, Mr. Zhang is very good to her now."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Only you know whether the shoes fit your feet. Others say that Mrs. Zhang has a good life. She was so humiliated before, but now she is married to a good man. But I heard that Mrs. Zhang had a bad relationship with her ex-husband before.
There was a child who followed her ex-husband and was beaten and scolded all the time. After all, Mrs. Zhang was a mother, so she felt very distressed. She asked many times to take the child with her, but Mr. Zhang never agreed. "
Mrs. Zhao was silent for a long time, then sighed softly and said: "After all, it is not your own biological child. How big of a heart can you do this to raise a child for another man?"
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. Just when she was about to change the subject, Wang Jinhuan suddenly walked in from outside. He seemed to have heard the conversation between the two of them, so he took over the conversation very naturally.
, "This has nothing to do with being big-hearted, it just depends on whether that man loves that woman deeply enough. If it were me, as long as the child was born to the woman I love, it would also be my child."
It was rare for Yun Shang to see Wang Jinhuan speak in such a serious manner, so she laughed and said, "Young Master Wang seems to be feeling something."
Wang Jinhuan was silent for a while, then he smiled again, smiling carelessly, "Yes, it's a pity that the woman I like doesn't believe it."
Yun Shang thought of the entanglement between him and Ning Qian, and was silent for a long time. Finally, she felt that she was an outsider after all, and Ning Qian's current appearance had nothing to do with her. If it weren't for her arrangement, Ning Qian would also
There is no need to stay in a brothel for so many years and then enter Xia Huanyu's harem.
Madam Zhao yawned, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Yun Shang nodded and responded: "Okay."
Mrs. Zhao left, and Wang Jinhuan also left. Yun Shang stood up and prepared to sleep. The thunder outside still did not stop. As soon as she washed up, she heard raindrops falling, hitting the banana leaves outside.
Yeah, very clear.
It was raining heavily. Yun Shang listened to the sound of rain outside, frowned, turned around and said to Qian Zui: "Let the secret guards be more vigilant tonight. The more the weather is like this, the easier it will be."
Something happened."
Qian Zui responded in a low voice. (To be continued)
