There was a hint of embarrassment on Yun Shang's face, "This... to tell you the truth, when I was at the border, I spent most of my time in Cangnan and Huaiyin. I also stayed in Lingxi for a few days, but I never saw them.
Passing the Seventh Prince. But don’t be anxious. When I was in Lingxi, thanks to the hospitality of Mr. Zhang Xing, the prefect of Lingxi, I can send a message to Mr. Zhang for you. If Mr. Zhang can see the Seventh Prince, it will be possible.
Transferred."
Hearing this, Hua Yutong was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, took out a sealed letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Chang, "I'll bother Chang'er then."
"Between you and me, what's the point of trouble?" Yun Shang smiled and handed the letter to Qian Zui in front of Hua Yutong, "Let's find two secret guards to go to Lingxi.
.”
Qian Zui agreed, took the letter and went out.
Hua Yutong thanked her again and said with a smile: "Maybe I haven't been to the palace for a long time. Since you are going to the palace, I will also stop by to say hello to Concubine Shen Shu."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and curled up her lips: "Okay, let's go."
Hua Yutong and Yun Shang entered the palace together. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw a group of officials in court uniforms walking over. They seemed to be about to leave the palace. The leader was Luo Qingyan, who was standing beside him.
While the man was talking, he turned around and saw Yun Shang. Luo Qingyan paused and walked quickly towards Yun Shang: "Why did you enter the palace?"
The corners of Yun Shang's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a slight smile: "I'm going to see Hui Zhaoyi."
Luo Qingyan nodded, his eyes fell on Yun Shang, and he frowned: "There is still some distance from here to Xiangzhu Hall. I will order someone to catch him up." After saying that, he turned around and gave instructions.
Yun Shang quickly grabbed Luo Qingyan and said softly: "No need, there are regulations for the use of steps in the palace. This is against the rules and will only cause some gossip. I am not that squeamish. If you have anything to do, just go and do it.
Yutong is with me."
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Hua Yutong who was standing next to Yun Shang. He was silent for a moment and then nodded gently, "Okay, you should be more careful. I will enter the palace after I have dealt with the matter outside the palace."
Come, wait for me at Xiangzhu Hall, I will pick you up later."
Yun Shang smiled so hard that her eyebrows arched, she nodded gently and said, "Okay."
Luo Qingyan stretched out her hand to help Yun Shang hold the hairpin on her head before turning back to the group of officials.
Yun Shang glanced at it quietly, then turned around and continued walking to the inner palace. Hua Yutong's eyes fell on Yun Shang with a hint of envy, "Prince Rui looked cold and cold.
His appearance is very good for Chang'er."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower, and his face was also stained with a bit of sadness.
Yun Shang reached out and shook Hua Yutong's hand, and said softly: "A woman as good as Yutong will naturally meet someone who is willing to protect you wholeheartedly."
Hearing this, Hua Yutong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but there was a bit of bitterness in her smile, "Maybe, it's just that person, but it may not be the one I want."
Hua Yutong's voice was very soft. If not for Yun Shang, she could be considered a martial arts practitioner. Her ears are more sensitive than ordinary people, so I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to hear her words clearly.
"What?" Yun Shang pondered for a moment, pretended not to hear, turned around and asked.
Hua Yutong quickly shook her head, "Shang'er wants to go to Shuya Palace?"
Shuya Palace? Yun Shang thought of Luo Qingyan's words, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Now that Concubine Shu is in charge of the harem, and when she enters the palace, she should go and pay her respects to Concubine Shu."
When they arrived at Shuya Palace, Concubine Shen Shu was taking a nap, while Yun Shang and Hua Yutong were waiting in the outer hall. Yun Shang thought that Concubine Shen Shu wanted to give Yun Shang a slap in the face because of what happened the day before yesterday, and asked them to wait. But she didn't expect that it didn't take long.
, Concubine Shen Shu walked out of the inner hall.
Yun Shang and Hua Yutong stood up and saluted. Concubine Shen Shu waved her hands casually, her expression seemed not to be too good: "Sit down, it's getting hotter and hotter today. Take a nap. You'll be sweating all over your body when you wake up.
There are several basins of ice cubes and it’s still the same, it’s very stuffy.”
Yun Shang and Hua Yutong sat down. Yun Shang didn't respond, but Hua Yutong spoke first: "With this weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain."
"It rains well, it can also make you feel cooler." Concubine Shen Shu wiped the sweat from her nose with a handkerchief and said softly, "This year it seems to be hotter than in previous years, and I don't know when it will cool down."
Yun Shang then smiled and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it should be cooler."
When Concubine Shen Shu heard what Yun Shang said, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes: "In the past, almost every Mid-Autumn Festival, a moon-appreciating banquet would be held in the palace. Now His Majesty is not in the palace, and I don't even know about this moon-appreciating banquet."
Should the banquet be held or not?"
Yun Shang never thought that Concubine Shen Shu would mention this issue herself. After a slight pause, she answered the question very naturally: "Won't Your Majesty be back before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shang found that the eyes of Concubine Shen Shu and Hua Yutong were falling on him. Yun Shang hesitated for a moment before explaining: "Last night, the prince seemed to have mentioned that his majesty sent a message to
He said in the letter that he would return to the palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Concubine Shen Shu glanced at Yun Shang quietly, then looked away calmly: "Then I will have to make some preparations."
After that, Concubine Shen Shu did not mention the Mid-Autumn Festival again. But Yun Shang knew that she must have guessed that Empress Hua would also return to the palace together with Xia Huanyu.
After coming out of Shuya Palace, Hua Yutong said goodbye to Yunshang and prepared to leave the palace. Yunshang walked through the Imperial Garden and walked to the Xiangzhu Hall.
As soon as he walked out of the imperial garden, he saw many palace maids gathered in front of him, and there seemed to be faint cries of pain. Yun Shang frowned, then turned to Qin Yi and said, "Go and see what happened.
"
Qin Yi responded, then walked to the group of palace people to take a look, and a palace maid at the back chatted for a while, and then hurriedly came back, "It seems that a palace maid fell, but the slave didn't see anything."
There are no external injuries, but the palace maid's face is pale and there is a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she looks like she is in great pain."
"Oh?" Yun Shang frowned, "Did you find the imperial doctor?"
"It's just some palace people who can't hire an imperial doctor. Some people have already gone to the imperial hospital to find a medical attendant, but I'm afraid it will take some time to arrive." Qin Yi reported in detail.
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "Let me take a look."
Hearing this, Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and asked the onlookers to disperse. Only then did Yun Shang see the fallen palace servant. He looked young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance should be the same.
She was delicate, but her face was completely distorted because of the pain. Yun Shang's belly was too big, and it was difficult to squat down, so she asked Qinyi to raise her hand, and Yun Shang put her hand on it.
After a long while, Yun Shang's expression moved slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, she retracted her hand, remained silent for a while, and then said: "It hurt my internal organs. It's a pity that my silver needle fell into the Xiangzhu Hall that night."
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Yun Shang, with some thoughts in her eyes.
Yun Shang then spoke again: "It's just that this injury is a bit serious. Ordinary medical attendants are probably helpless. This place is not far from Xiangzhu Palace. Why not send her to Xiangzhu Palace and I will give her acupuncture."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, the surrounding maids felt that Princess Rui was kind-hearted, and they quickly volunteered to lift the palace man up and send him to the Xiangzhu Palace.
When the people arrived, the palace attendants left one after another. The palace attendants in the Xiangzhu Palace were a little surprised to see this situation, but Yun Shang was a frequent visitor to the Xiangzhu Palace, so no one dared to speak.
Yun Shang ordered the palace attendants to prepare an empty room and moved the injured palace maid to the low bed inside.
After everyone else had retreated, Yun Shang stood up and looked fixedly at the pale-faced woman on the bed who had never spoken. She smiled and said, "Do you know where you were injured?"
The woman shook her head in panic, lowering her head and not daring to look at Yun Shang.
The smile on Yun Shang's lips was a bit playful, "I can tell you, Princess, that you did not injure your internal organs in the fall, but you are just pregnant. In the past month, after such a fall, you got fetal gas."
As soon as these words came out, not only the palace maid, but also Qinyi and Qianzui's faces were full of surprise.
The palace maid's body trembled suddenly, and she ignored the pain. She quickly reached out and grabbed Yun Shang's skirt, raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, her eyes were full of prayers, and her body kept trembling: "Princess, please forgive me, Princess
Spare your life."
Yun Shang's expression was indifferent, and she allowed her to beg for a long time before slowly speaking, "It's not impossible for me to spare your life and help you keep this secret. As long as you tell me the identity of the child in your belly,
As for who my father is, I keep it secret."
The palace man seemed to have never thought that Yun Shang would make such a request. His face froze slightly and he didn't speak for a long time.
Yun Shang curled up her lips and smiled slightly, "I always keep my word. You only need to answer my questions, and I will give you two choices. Although you have fetal force, the child in your belly is also
It hasn't been lost yet. If you don't want it, I can give you medicine and let you get rid of the child quietly. Then you can still stay in the palace as a maid. If you want to give birth to a child, I can also think of it.
I will take you out of the palace so that you can give birth to him safely."
When the palace maid heard this, she was silent for a long time and then said: "The child's father..."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "It depends on your choice. If you are fine, then the father of the child will be fine. You have to think clearly. If the palace maid gets pregnant secretly, she will have to go to bed.
Of the gallows.”
Yun Shang saw the palace maid tremble suddenly and said quickly: "My slave says it, my slave says that's all."
Yun Shang smiled and looked at her quietly. She gritted her teeth, with a bit of pain on her face, "The father of the child is a palace official in Jingyang Palace, named Wang Shu." (To be continued)
