"Oh?" Yun Shang's eyes were still on the palace maid, "As far as I know, all the chamberlains in the palace have purified themselves. How can a purified palace maid make you pregnant?"
The palace maid said quickly: "My slave did not lie. Wang Shu said that he was lucky enough to escape the test when he entered the palace."
"How long have you known each other?" Yun Shang asked again.
The palace maid thought for a while and then said softly: "Less than two months."
"I hope you didn't lie to me, Qinyi. Send someone to ask if there is a palace man named Wang Shu in Jingyang Palace." Yun Shang turned around and ordered Qinyi softly. Qinyi responded.
, and then retreated.
Yun Shang saw that the palace maid's face was pale from the pain, so she took out the silver needle and said, "Lie down."
The palace lady looked at the silver needle in Yun Shang's hand and felt a little frightened. But she didn't dare not to obey, so she quickly lay down on the low bed without cotton wool. Yun Shang raised the needle and dropped it. After a while, the palace lady felt pain.
Reduced a lot.
Qin Yi came back soon, frowned slightly, shook her head at Yun Shang and said: "Back to the princess, there is no palace man named Wang Shu in Jingyang Palace. In fact, in the past two years, Jingyang Palace has
They have always been empty, and apart from the palace servants who clean them, there is no one else."
The palace maid who was still lying on the low bed suddenly raised her head when she heard this. The look of surprise on her face did not seem to be fake: "How could it be? Impossible, I have clearly had many secret meetings with him in Jingyang Palace.
times, and there are also many palace people in Jingyang Palace, and there are also many patrolling back and forth at night."
A flash of understanding flashed in Yun Shang's heart, and she raised her eyes to look at the palace maid, "When did you have most of your private meetings with him? How did you get to know each other?"
The palace maid hurriedly said: "Our private meetings were all at night. More than a month ago, the palace man who lived with me had a high fever. I went to the Imperial Hospital to look for a medical attendant. When I returned, I lost my way. I was in Jingyang Palace.
I met Wang Shu outside, and he sent me back."
"So, he is quite familiar with the palace?" Yun Shang frowned.
The palace maid nodded, "Yes."
Yun Shang paced back and forth in the room twice before turning to look at the palace maid, "You just deceived me, but I am willing to give you a chance to atone for your sins. Do you want it?"
"
The palace maid nodded like she was pounding garlic, "I'm willing, I'm willing."
"Very good..." Yun Shang curled her lips, "You can rest here today. I will tell you later how you can... atone for your sins."
Yun Shang left Qian Zui watching her in the room, then took Qin Yi to the side hall to look for Lin Youran.
Lin Youran had just lost her child, and after walking through the gate of hell again, her body was very weak, so she had to lie on the bed to rest. As soon as Yun Shang entered the outer hall, she saw Qianbi, the personal maid next to Lin Youran, hurriedly
He came up and said, "Princess, please help persuade the master."
Yun Shang frowned, "What's wrong with your master?"
Qian Bi quickly said: "After my son's accident, he has been depressed. He lay in bed crying all day long and refused to take medicine."
"Nonsense." Yun Shang scolded, "She is in confinement now. If she keeps crying, her eyes will be damaged in the future." Yun Shang said and quickly walked into the bedroom.
Lin Youran was indeed as Qian Bi said, looking lifeless, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was completely blank, staring blankly at the top of the bed.
Yun Shang frowned, "What are you doing?"
When Lin Youran heard Yun Shang's voice, she slowly turned her head and stared at Yun Shang blankly without speaking.
"The child is gone, are you sad?" Yun Shang sneered, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste time on unnecessary sadness. The child is gone, and he won't survive even if you cry again, which makes the murderer happy for nothing.
. Those stable women dared to act so boldly that day, and there must be someone behind them. Your child died so miserably, as a mother, why did you try to avenge him? "
Lin Youran was stunned for a long time, and then started crying again: "The imperial doctor said that it was a little princess. I have always wanted a girl, but she is already that big..."
Yun Shang pursed her lips tightly, sat down on the stool, and looked at her quietly without speaking.
Lin Youran was tired from crying, so she choked and said: "I swear to avenge this."
"In this palace, there are traps and scheming everywhere. If you are not prepared, you will be the one who falls into the trap. You are lucky to have saved such a life, and you still have life.
, there is a way to survive. In the past, you were able to survive peacefully in the palace, firstly because you were His Majesty's new favorite and you were pregnant, and secondly, because the entire harem knew that your backer was Prince Rui's Mansion." Yun
Shang's voice was a bit cold.
"You have fallen into other people's schemes several times before, but you never fought back. That's why in the last moment, even Wenpo deceived you. No one can protect you for a lifetime, and Qinyi didn't let you enter the palace.
The reason why you come to seek our asylum is more because I hope you can play some role in the palace. This time, you can investigate the murderer yourself."
Lin Youran looked at Yun Shang blankly, perhaps deeply hurt by Yun Shang's words, and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, Lin Youran trembled and held back her tears, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I understand."
Yun Shang turned her head quietly and remained silent.
The door curtain was lifted, and Qian Bi walked in and served tea. Yun Shang then said calmly: "Go to Shuya Palace and report that Hui Zhaoyi is not feeling well physically and emotionally. I am the princess today."
I will stay in the palace all night."
Qianbi was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, picked up the plate and walked out.
Yun Shang turned her eyes and glanced at Lin Youran again, "reach out."
Lin Youran lowered her head and silently stretched out her hand. Yun Shang put two fingers on it, took her pulse slowly, and then said: "The imperial doctor should prescribe medicine for you, and let the palace maid prepare the medicine. Here.
In the palace, no matter how much you torture yourself, you will never wait for mercy from others. All you will wait for is the ridicule of your opponents."
Lin Youran's body had been trembling slightly. After hearing this, she raised her voice with a trembling voice: "Here comes someone."
Someone from the palace hurriedly walked in, and Lin Youran ordered the palace people to boil the medicine. After finishing the instructions, he looked at his wrist blankly as if he had gone to a god.
Yun Shang took a sip of tea and couldn't bear to see her giving up on herself, so she stood up and walked out of the inner hall.
Now that Ning Qian is gone, the Xiangzhu Hall has lost its original bustle and is now very deserted. No one is taking care of the weeds in the courtyard, but there are unknown purple flowers blooming in large areas in the garden.
"The princess clearly cares about Hui Zhaoyi, but she speaks so coldly and heartlessly. Are you not afraid that Hui Zhaoyi will bear her grudge?" Qinyi said softly behind Yun Shang.
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head: "We just protected her too well. Before, we kept thinking that she was just being sacrificed, the one who stood out, so we let her do everything. Facts have proved
, blind indulgence will not help at all in this harem. Now that Queen Hua is back, she has no great meaning to me. Her ending in the future will be entirely in her own hands.
Come on. If I don't wake her up, it will be too late."
Yun Shang said he would spend the night in the palace, so he asked Qinyi to arrange the preparations for the palace staff in the Xiangzhu Palace. Fortunately, the Xiangzhu Palace was empty now, and an empty room could still be occupied.
Not long after, Luo Qingyan came to pick her up. Yun Shang told Luo Qingyan what happened today in detail. Seeing that Yun Shang had made up her mind, Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case,
Then I will stay in the meeting hall to handle government affairs. Things have been a bit busy recently, so I will not go back to the palace tonight."
Yun Shang knew that Luo Qingyan couldn't worry about her. After pondering for a moment, he responded with a smile: "Okay, if there is any news later, I will send someone to the meeting hall to send you a message."
Luo Qingyan nodded, turned around and returned to the meeting hall.
As soon as Luo Qingyan left, Yun Shang entered the room where the maid was staying before. Looking at the maid, she seemed to have recovered. Seeing Yun Shang come in, the maid shrank her neck and bowed quickly.
Yun Shang sat down and stared at her for a long time before saying, "I don't know what your name is yet."
The palace maid trembled again and said quickly: "My servant Ming Shui is serving in Zhong Cui Palace."
Yun Shang nodded, not too surprised. Other palaces with masters have strict curfews. After the hour, palace residents are not allowed to come in and out at will. Zhongcui Palace is where Xiu Nu lived before she was granted the title.
, now that Xia Huanyu has dismissed the harem, I am afraid that most of the beautiful ladies selected last year have been sent out of the palace. There is no one in Zhongcui Palace now, which is why the maids have secret meetings with their lovers every night.
"It's not difficult to atone for your sins. You will return to Zhongcui Palace later. If others ask, just say that you have been cured by me. Everything is as usual. Don't let anyone see that anything is wrong.
At night..." Yun Shang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I want you to pretend that nothing today has happened and still go to meet that Wang Shu."
"This..." Ming Shui frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.
Yun Shang smiled and said: "He has concealed and deceived you in everything. Do you still want to cover him up? Besides, now you have no choice."
"My slave is willing, my slave is willing," Ming Shui said quickly.
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "Then you can go back to Zhongcui Palace."
Ming Shui saluted Yun Shang again and stood up stumblingly.
"Qin Yi, go see her off in person." Yun Shang ordered Qin Yi with a smile. Qin Yi turned around and glanced at Yun Shang. The two exchanged glances quickly, and Qin Yi agreed and followed.
