Since Xia Huanyu ordered that no news should be spread, Luo Qingyan didn't even have the chance to intervene. If he interfered, Xia Huanyu would know that they had placed someone in the palace, and would definitely be wary of Luo Qingyan. The ruthlessness of the royal family has been evident since childhood.
Being born into the royal family, she naturally knows better. When she was in Ning State, her father had also been suspicious of her.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The Queen will definitely be fine. If he wants to do harm to the Queen, he might as well solve the problem directly instead of trying to kidnap the person. Since he kidnapped the person, it must be because of a conspiracy.
"Yun Shang comforted softly, "I'll ask the secret guard to check carefully."
Luo Qingyan stood up and said, "No, we don't need to send people to check. Your Majesty will send people to do it. If you encounter our people, it will be the most difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
"Today in Gongyuan, there are many daily affairs that have not been dealt with. I will go to the study first to take a look." Luo Qingyan said and left the room.
Yun Shang looked steadily at Luo Qingyan's back, sighed lightly, and said nothing.
Perhaps the father and son were connected, but Baoer in his arms became speechless and cried loudly.
Yun Shang quickly hugged Bao'er and coaxed her softly: "Little ancestor, why are you crying now? Let's not cry, don't cry, your grandmother will be fine."
Bao'er, however, couldn't stop crying. After crying for a while, he got tired of crying and fell asleep in Yun Shang's arms.
Yun Shang put Bao'er in the crib, looked at the map of Xia Kingdom unfolded on the desk, and frowned slightly: "It's really been an eventful autumn."
Until it was time to go to bed, Luo Qingyan still hadn't come back. Yun Shang was a little worried, so she asked Qin Yi to keep an eye on Bao'er, then went out and walked to the study.
The autumn night was a bit cool. Without the frogs and cicadas in summer, it was quiet and deserted. Yun Shang gathered her cloak and walked along the corridor to the outer study. The lights in the outer study were on, Luo Qing
Yan's shadow is projected on the closed window. He is sitting on a chair with a book in his hand. Perhaps because it is just a shadow, he feels a little more lonely.
Knowing that Luo Qingyan was good at martial arts, she would definitely be discovered if she got close. Yun Shang stood far away and looked at the shadow on the window. For a long time, the book in Luo Qingyan's hand was not turned over.
One page. Yun Shang sighed softly, then turned around and returned to Nanyuan.
Qin Yi had just covered Bao'er with a small quilt. When she saw Yun Shang coming back alone, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just whispered, "Is the Crown Princess going to rest?"
Yun Shang rubbed her forehead and responded softly: "Yeah."
"The hot water is ready. Please undress the princess." Upon hearing this, Qin Yi took two steps forward, untied Yun Shang's cloak and put it aside.
Yun Shang frowned slightly, thinking all the time in her mind. Now that Su Ruji is gone, Concubine Shu is no longer possible. Who took away Empress Hua? Could it be that it was really Xia Houjing?
However, Xia Houjing is clearly with Liu Cang now. If Xia Houjing is really as they thought, he defrauded the disaster relief materials from the treasury and intended to rebel. Since he set the location of the rebellion near Liu Cang, the main thing is
The forces must have transferred with him. Even if there are still some forces in Jincheng and the palace is heavily guarded, it must be impossible to take away Queen Hua from the deepest part of the inner palace.
No, it should be said that no matter who it is, the possibility of quietly abducting Queen Hua from the current Weiyang Palace is very slim.
"Qin Yi, tell me, if I give you an order to bring Queen Hua back to the palace like this from Wuyang Palace without disturbing any guards in the palace, can you do it?" Yun Shang asked softly as she was being demolished behind her.
Qinyi with the hairpin on her head.
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then responded softly: "It can't be done. Although we have Qianzui waiting beside Queen Hua, Qianzui may have the opportunity to be detrimental to the Queen, but what the Crown Princess said is, no
We tried to alert the guards to bring the Empress back to our house, but they were unable to do so. Since the Empress returned to the palace, His Majesty has strengthened the guards, especially near the Weiyang Palace. When the Crown Princess entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress, Qian Zuo had once
Chatting with the slaves, I mentioned that there are so many masters in Weiyang Palace nowadays, and any little palace maid has special skills. As long as the Queen is unwilling, how can the Queen be kidnapped?"
Yun Shang gently closed her eyes and let Qin Yi take a comb to comb her long hair, feeling that she had blocked her own way again. As Qin Yi said, she didn't think anyone could lead Queen Hua away.
After leaving Weiyang Palace, in fact, Queen Hua was missing.
Yun Shang felt a little upset. After taking a bath, she asked Qin Yi to carry Bao'er downstairs and handed it to the wet nurse and Chen Miaosi to take care of her. Then she went to bed to rest.
Early the next morning, it was already dawn when Yun Shang got up. She stretched out her hand and touched the place beside her. It was cold. She didn't know whether Luo Qingyan stayed away all night or left early.
Yun Shang called Qin Yi in with a loud voice, stood up, walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, "Did you send the contact code to Qian Zui? Is there any response?"
Qin Yi picked up the comb, shook her head and said: "Throughout the night, secret guards throughout Jincheng, including those in the palace, continued to contact Qian Zui, but there was no response."
Yun Shang frowned. In this way, Qian Zui was either unconscious or had his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, completely unable to respond.
"Continue today." Yun Shang ordered softly and then said no more.
After breakfast, Yun Shang went downstairs to play with Bao'er for a while and then went back to the house to read the account books. Before she finished reading one book, she heard Hua'er coming to report: "Princess, the Duke of the country is here."
Yun Shang was suddenly startled. Could it be that Duke Hua also knew about the disappearance of the queen?
Yun Shang quickly stood up and asked, "Where is the Duke of the country?"
"Waiting at the Yingbo Pavilion by the lake." Hua'er responded softly. Seeing that Yun Shang was about to go out, he quickly took his cloak and followed Yun Shang, and put the cloak on Yun Shang.
Not far from the Yingbo Pavilion, Yun Shang saw Duke Hua sitting on a stone stool in the pavilion, looking towards the lake. The maid had already made tea, and Duke Hua seemed to have heard the footsteps and turned around.
When he came over, he saw Yun Shang, with a bit of anxiety in his eyes, and said hurriedly: "Are you telling the truth?"
Yun Shang was stunned when Hua Guogong asked him this question. She was stunned and then said: "Is something true?" She didn't remember that she ordered someone to tell Hua Guogong about the disappearance of Queen Hua?
Could it be Luo Qingyan did it?
Hua Guogong glanced at Yun Shang, with obvious contempt in his eyes, "Did you ask someone to send me a message yesterday, saying that Hua Yutong followed the seventh prince to Liucang, just to get the support of my second brother?
Is he rebelling?"
Yun Shang was stunned again before she remembered that there was such a thing. She was secretly glad in her heart. Fortunately, Hua Guogong was impatient and asked her about it as soon as he came. If he had waited for her to speak, he would have just missed it.
He accidentally exposed the disappearance of Empress Hua.
Yun Shang responded quickly: "This matter is just our speculation, but these speculations are not groundless."
Duke Hua naturally knew that since Yun Shang said this, it must be a sure thing. He stamped his feet and said bitterly: "I really misjudged the person. Hua Yutong seems to be a lively person."
She is a cheerful girl. I thought she had the same temperament as me. Most people in our family have this temperament. But I didn’t expect that there was a strange one. No, my second brother is also very easy to deceive.
After Hua Yutong compiled it a little, I will definitely believe it."
Duke Hua stood up and paced anxiously in the pavilion. After a long while, he said: "Otherwise, I won't have an official position now anyway. I will write a letter to my second brother when I get back, saying that I have resigned."
After that, I got bored staying in Jincheng and wanted to go there for a walk. He always respected me very much. If I said I wanted to go, he would definitely take me into consideration. Then I would go there to see it in person.
It depends on the situation, if Hua Yutong has thoughts that she shouldn't have, I won't tolerate her."
Yun Shang quickly shook his head: "Grandpa, don't be impulsive. Since Xia Houjing dared to do this, he must have been fully prepared. And if grandpa wrote a letter to Yutong's father and told him to go to his place, Xia Houjing
Jing will have a lot of time to plan, and I'm afraid he will be detrimental to my grandfather."
"What can this little brat with no hair do to me? He didn't know where he was when I killed the enemy on the battlefield? I have killed more enemies in my life than I have eaten. He
You still want to plot against me? How can I be so easy to plot?" When Duke Hua heard what Yun Shang said, his competitive nature was aroused.
Yun Shang quickly comforted him: "Yes, I know that my grandfather is very brave. But since Xia Houjing intends to rebel, there must be many people. My grandfather has no soldiers now, so he can't try to stop thousands of troops with one person, right?
"
Duke Hua stamped his feet, his face full of annoyance: "This won't work, and that won't work either. But tell me, what should I do?"
Yun Shang was silent for a long time, and her eyes fell on the withered yellow lotus leaves in the lake. Although the lotus leaves were yellow, there was still a dragonfly standing on the lotus leaves.
"It's definitely wrong for my grandfather to go there, but I don't know if we can find a reason to call Hua Yutong's father to Jincheng?" Yun Shang looked at Hua Guogong with a bright light in his eyes.
"I can easily think of it from the beginning. After Ling'er returned to the palace, His Majesty wanted to seal the people in our palace. But I thought at the time that I shouldn't cause trouble to Ling'er. But I can go and ask Your Majesty for it.
, let’s just say that I am getting old and miss my brothers. I want my second brother to return to Jincheng to reunite. There is no need to promote my second brother’s official position, just transfer him away from Liu Cang’s area. It’s just right, if the second brother is
Now that my brother has been transferred, Xia Houjing has no reason to take advantage of it." Hua Guogong seemed to have thought of some good idea, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I will go back to my hometown to write a book."
With that said, without waiting for Yun Chang's response, he rushed out of Yingbo Pavilion and left in a hurry. (To be continued)
