Luo Qingyan not only left Hua Guogong and returned to Lingxi, he took Yun Shang directly on the way back to Jincheng the next day. Yun Shang was hugged by Luo Qingyan while she was still sleeping.
Although I could vaguely hear the sound of carriage wheels while half asleep, I just thought that Luo Qingyan was going to Huaiyin. After all, Xia Huanyu and Queen Hua were both in Huaiyin.
When she woke up, she realized that it didn't seem to be the case at all. Yun Shang opened the carriage curtain and looked at it for a long time before she noticed the clue, "This doesn't seem to be the way to Huaiyin?"
Luo Qingyan did not ride a horse this time. He accompanied Yun Shang in a carriage. When Yun Shang asked, he just nodded lightly and said, "Well, let's go back to Jincheng."
Yun Shang's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of astonishment on her face, and she quickly said: "Su Qi and Su Ruji have not been found yet, and the Seventh Prince is still imprisoned in Lingxi Prison..."
Luo Qingyan nodded again, "I know everything. If nothing happens, just leave it to Your Majesty."
Yun Shang fell silent, raising her eyes from time to time to glance at Luo Qingyan. After a long while, she finally spoke, "But what happened in Jincheng?"
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes, smiled and said: "People say that one pregnancy lasts for three years, but it's really true. Have you forgotten what Su Ruji said on the top of Junshan Mountain?"
Yun Shang stared at Luo Qingyan blankly, and then shook her head after a while, "She said a lot, which one did you say? Moreover, you were not here at the time, how do you know what she said?"
Luo Qingyan laughed slowly, with a bit of joking in his eyes, "Although I'm not here, I will ask the secret guard. Su Ruji said a lot, but there is one very important thing. I'm afraid you can't remember it.
Already."
A flash of doubt flashed in Yun Shang's eyes. She lowered her head and thought for a long time but did not remember anything important. Wasn't Su Ruji just expressing her hatred for Xia Huanyu in Junshan that day?
Luo Qingyan patted Yun Shang's head, his eyes full of smiles, "Su Ruji said that they took advantage of His Majesty's absence in Jincheng to start an uprising in Jincheng, intending to seize the country."
Yun Shang was slightly startled, and after thinking about it carefully, Su Ruji did seem to have said such a thing, but at that time she thought that Xia Huanyu would handle the matter on his own, so she didn't take it to heart, but she never thought...
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan's side face, thinking in her heart that Luo Qingyan must have had an affair with Xia Huanyu.
Yun Shang lowered his head, with some thoughts flashing in his eyes. In this battle with Yelang Kingdom, Luo Qingyan undoubtedly won very handsomely. This is a great achievement. If the rebellion is quelled, it will be another meritorious service.
In this way, if Luo Qingyan tries to win over people's hearts again, he may go one step further.
Luo Qingyan turned her head and looked at Yun Shang. Seeing her worried look, she laughed, put the things in her hands aside, stretched out her hand to hug Yun Shang, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Thinking.
It's so heavy, be careful our child will be too mature when he is born."
Yun Shang stretched out her hand and pinched the flesh around Luo Qingyan's waist, snorted and said, "If it's true as you said, it must be because of you that you always have a cold face."
Luo Qingyan burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to touch Yun Shang's bulging belly, his eyes and brows were filled with tenderness, "Such a big body must be strong. It's just a hardship for Chang'er. She's pregnant and has to worry about everything."
Busy and busy doing mundane things."
The tip of Yun Shang's nose felt sour, and she quickly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled widely, "It's good if you know that I'm working hard, and you'll be able to listen to me in the future."
Luo Qingyan raised her eyebrows and responded with a smile: "Okay, Princess Rui."
Although the matter in Jincheng was very urgent, Luo Qingyan did not show the slightest worry on his face. He still led Yun Shang on the road slowly as if touring the mountains and rivers. However, Yun Shang suddenly discovered that Luo Qingyan often looked at the things in his hands.
The thing was clearly a memorial from all the officials in the court.
Yun Shang didn't need to think about it to understand that it must be Xia Huanyu who temporarily handed over the political affairs to Luo Qingyan. But this move was more like expressing his attitude.
Yun Shang silently glanced at the memorial in Luo Qingyan's hand, turned around, picked up the book on the side, and read quietly.
The journey was very peaceful. Eighteen days later, Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang finally returned to Jincheng. However, Jincheng was not as chaotic as Yun Shang imagined, but there were many more guards at the city gate.
Only allowed to go out, not allowed to enter.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan stopped the carriage, looked at the scene at the city gate from a distance, looked at each other silently, and then ordered the carriage driver to turn around.
After Yun Shang Ming Qian Zhui sent a signal to contact Qian Yin, he stopped the carriage in the woods on the outskirts of the city.
After waiting for more than an hour, Yun Shang saw the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. Qianzui walked to the carriage and whispered: "Princess, this is Sister Qianyin."
Qianyin came with Luo Yi. Yun Shang opened the carriage door, looked at Qianyin who was slightly sweaty, and then asked softly: "How is the situation in the city?"
Qianyin quickly turned over and dismounted, and responded hurriedly: "It's not that big of a difference, it's just that there are more officers and soldiers patrolling. The business in Qianshui Yiren Pavilion has also been slow recently, and there are many official wives who like to buy jewelry in the pavilion.
Why are you here? There are many more guards at the city gate. You can only go out but not in."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and asked, "How is the situation in the palace?"
"I haven't heard of any big changes, except that the queen was deposed, all the concubines who were not sleeping in the harem were sent out of the palace, and Concubine Shen Shu took charge of the harem." Qianyin paused, and then continued: "
By the way, there is one thing that is very strange. Recently, the palace has purchased large quantities of all kinds of jewelry. Regardless of quality, regardless of style..."
Yun Shang frowned, also a little puzzled.
"Can you send someone to inquire?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Qianyin nodded, "I sent people to inquire about it, and they all said that it was because His Majesty had the intention of disbanding the harem. The concubines in the palace were all panic-stricken, fearing that they would be sent out of the palace, and tried every means to dress themselves up. The palace
I was tired of all the jewelry in my collection, so I thought of buying some from the folk, and let the craftsmen in the palace treasure room refer to the styles of folk jewelry."
Yun Shang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan, then sneered and said with a bit of coldness: "This reason is really far-fetched."
Qianyin also thought so, "It's just that the servants have used all the hidden stakes in the palace and only asked for this result. However, the palace people of Zhenbaozhai do not seem to have received the jewelry purchased from the palace."
Yun Shang nodded and looked back at Luo Qingyan. The two were silent for a moment, and then Yun Shang said again: "That day, Su Ruji said that they had mobilized all the troops. I thought... but I didn't expect it to be like this.
The appearance is a bit unusual."
"The city gate still looks like it's only for exit but not for entry. I feel that this is clearly trying to lure you into an urn." Luo Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, holding a memorial in her hand.
He patted it gently and then said with a smile, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. I will definitely enter this Jincheng."
Yun Shang smiled lightly, with a bit of indifference in her eyes.
It is not difficult to enter the city. After all, the people under Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan are all top-notch masters. There is no need to pass through the city gate. They can easily enter the city by finding a less well-guarded city wall in the middle of the night.
After entering the city, they could not hide their whereabouts and went straight to Prince Rui's Mansion.
It was already the fourth night when we arrived outside Prince Rui's Mansion. The housekeeper had already received the news in advance and was waiting at the door with a lantern. When he saw Luo Qingyan and the others, he couldn't hide the joy on his face and hurriedly told Luo Qingyan
They welcomed him into the mansion.
After returning to Nanyuan, the two of them had a good sleep before getting up slowly. They both put on court clothes and entered the palace together.
Because Xia Huanyu was not in the palace, the palace looked a little relaxed. Luo Qingyan was a foreign minister after all, and it was inconvenient to enter the inner palace, so he went to the meeting hall.
Yun Shang took Qian Zui and Qin Yi straight to Shuya Palace.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Shuya Palace, Yun Shang heard some laughter. Yun Shang squinted her eyes. Shuya Palace was very lively. Listening to the faint voices, it seemed that Concubine Shu had summoned the palace.
The concubines and concubines were enjoying the flowers together, and Yun Shang got a lucky break.
Yun Shang was led in by the palace people, and she discovered that in Shuya Palace, in addition to the concubines, there were also many princes and princesses, all playing and joking together.
Concubine Shu was sitting at the door of the palace looking at a group of people having their brains in the garden. When she saw the palace servants walking in with Yun Shang, she seemed a little surprised. She quickly stood up and said, "Is Princess Rui here?" Then she turned towards Yun Shang.
Chang came over, with a bit of a smile in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Why don't you send someone to tell me, I might as well send someone to pick you up at the gate of the palace. Your belly is so big. From now on
It’s not even close to the palace gate, so you must be tired.”
Yun Shang smiled and said: "How can my wife be so delicate?"
The concubine who was lower in rank than Yun Shang quickly stood up and greeted Yun Shang. Concubine Shu ordered someone to move a chair for Yun Shang to sit on. Fang smiled and said: "When did you come back?"
"I didn't arrive at my house until midnight last night." Yun Shang responded with a slight smile.
"So late?" Concubine Shu seemed a little surprised, shook her head and said: "You are eight months pregnant, why don't you know how to take care of yourself? How can a pregnant woman stay up late and rush like this?"
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Maybe because of my pregnancy, I have been sleeping very well recently. Even in the carriage, I sleep for seven or eight hours a day, and I don't feel tired at all."
Concubine Shu laughed when she heard this, "It's a good thing. As long as you don't make trouble, you are blessed. I heard that Prince Wenrui won a great victory, but he came back together?"
Yun Shang nodded gently, with a smile on her lips, "Yes, I just came into the palace with my wife, and just went to the meeting hall. Before returning to Jincheng, His Majesty asked the prince to act as an agent for the government affairs of the DPRK and China for a period of time after he comes back.
Take this opportunity to learn how to handle government affairs."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, he saw that the faces of many concubines present changed. (To be continued)
