Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she saw Hua Guogong's arrogant appearance, but she also felt that this was a way to have both ends, so she let him go.
Looking at Duke Hua's appearance, Yun Shang suddenly thought: "Master Liu is going to transport the second batch of disaster relief materials to Liucang today?"
Qin Yi nodded lightly and said, "It's today. Doctor Zheng left the house early in the morning. I'm afraid he's already out of the city now."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had forgotten to send him off. Liu Yinfeng's departure was also full of dangers.
"Have you taken all the medicine?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Qinyi nodded lightly and responded: "Let them all go."
Yun Shang nodded and stood up, "I still have the account books that I haven't read yet. Have all the managers arrived?"
Qin Yi shook her head: "I didn't expect the princess to get up so early, so I asked them to come over and report to the princess after lunch in the afternoon. How about I ask them to come over now?"
"Forget it, let's just say it's afternoon. It just so happens that I can have a good rest." Yun Shang responded softly and walked towards Nanyuan.
After returning to the house, he looked at the account books for a while and saw the secret guard rushing over. Yun Shang's eyes lit up and she quickly said: "But Qianzui contacted him?"
The secret guard shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It was someone in the refugee camp outside the city who wanted to use a carrier pigeon to deliver letters early this morning. My subordinate was caught by the carrier pigeon. He just sent the intercepted letter to Gongyuan to show it to His Highness. Your Highness
Ask your subordinates to send the letter over and leave the matter to the Crown Princess." As the secret guard said, he took out the letter from his waist and presented it to Yun Shang.
Hearing the news from the secret guard that it was not Qian Zu, Yun Shang felt a little disappointed, but she cheered up and accepted the letter. Luo Qingyan was afraid that she had no thoughts on this matter now. Regarding the autumn examination, Xia Houjing's
Things, Empress Hua's things, every one of them was enough to make her very anxious.
Yun Shang unfolded the letter, read it carefully, and then sneered and said: "It is indeed Xia Houjing's meticulous work."
The content of the letter was to report to Xiahou Jing that Liu Yinfeng had transported the second batch of relief materials out of the city. Yun Shang handed the letter to the secret guard and said softly, "Put the letter back intact, carrier pigeon."
Just let him go."
The secret guard responded, took the letter, and hurried out of the house.
There was no news about Qian Zui, and Yun Shang was a little uneasy, but she couldn't look at the account book any longer, so she simply stood up and said to Qin Yi: "Change my clothes again.
I'll go to the palace."
Qin Yi was stunned and hesitated: "But His Highness said..."
"I know that he said that I don't need to send secret guards to intervene in this matter, but I didn't send secret guards? I often go to the palace to pay greetings to Queen Hua, no one will doubt it, I just went to take a look
I won't do anything given the situation." Yun Shang responded softly, but he had already sat in front of the bronze mirror, with determination in his eyes.
Qinyi had no choice but to walk behind Yun Shang. Her hair was in a pony bun, which was not casual. She only needed to add some more grand headdress. Qinyi took off the white jade hairpin and replaced it.
I bought some green flower diamonds, took two more cloud-headed silver steps and waved them, and inserted one on each side.
It was time to change clothes. Qin Yi took the plum blossom pattern gauze robe and put it on Yun Shang, then said softly: "Okay, can the Crown Princess take a look?"
Yun Shang still had the time to look at clothes and jewelry, so she stood up and hurried out the door.
The carriage delivered Yun Shang to the palace gate, and Yun Shang took Qin Yi out of the carriage and walked straight to the inner palace and straight to Weiyang Palace. The outside of Weiyang Palace was not much different from usual, with only two chamberlains standing at the door.
, seeing Yun Shang approaching, one of them hurriedly came up to greet her, saluted with a smile and said: "The Crown Princess is here to pay her respects to the Queen?"
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, and with a calm expression, she raised her hand and wiped the fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose due to the rush, with the brocade handkerchief in her hand. Fang opened her mouth and responded: "I am standing at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
Now, you’re still asking me if I’m here to see the Queen, aren’t you asking nonsense?”
The chamberlain apologized profusely and said in a panic: "It's really unlucky for the Crown Princess to come here. The Queen is a little unwell. She was just seen by the imperial doctor and took medicine to rest."
Yun Shang frowned, her eyes full of concern: "Sick? Is it serious? Has the imperial doctor seen it? What should I say?"
The chamberlain quickly answered one by one: "It's just that the weather has been cold recently and I caught a cold. The imperial doctor has just looked at it and prescribed a prescription. He said it's nothing serious. He just needs a good rest."
Yun Shang was silent for a long time, then smiled and said: "In that case, I will not disturb the queen's rest." Yun Shang turned around and looked at Qin Yi, and said softly, "We also entered the palace.
Now, let’s go sit down at the Xiangzhu Hall.”
Qinyi responded and walked to Xiangzhu Hall with Yun Shang.
"Your Majesty is a wise man. Everything in Weiyang Palace is as usual. He knows that if the guards of Weiyang Palace are strengthened for no reason, it will definitely arouse suspicion. It is better to leave it like this. It will give people the feeling that the Queen is just resting due to a minor illness.
Average." Yun Shang sneered, but her brows gradually furrowed.
The Xiangzhu Palace is really deserted. Now Ning Qian is no longer in the palace, and Lin Youran's unborn son has not survived, and Queen Hua has also returned to the palace. As a result, very few people come to the Xiangzhu Palace.
Yes.
There wasn't even a guard at the door of Xiangzhu Hall. The door was ajar. Qinyi stepped forward and pushed it, and the door was pushed open.
Yun Shang raised her feet and entered the Xiangzhu Hall. Perhaps she heard the sound of the door opening, but a palace maid stuck her head out from the side hall to take a look. When she saw it was Yun Shang, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly
He shouted behind him: "Master, the princess is here."
After saying that, he hurriedly knelt down and said hello to Yunshang.
When Yun Shang walked to the door of the palace, she saw Lin Youran coming out. Yun Shang was stunned, but she almost didn't recognize him. Lin Youran had lost a lot of weight. He was not fat before, and now he was even more skinny. He looked a little oozing.
He was so thin that he looked more than ten years older. His eyes were also extremely empty, and he was holding a string of Buddhist beads tightly in his hand.
"Meet the Crown Princess." Lin Youran hurriedly knelt down.
Yun Shang's eyes fell lightly on her back, nodded and said: "Get up." After saying that, he entered the hall.
The palace was not much different from before, but it was more deserted, and there seemed to be fewer people in the palace. Yun Shang glanced around and then looked at Lin Youran, who was standing in the palace a little confused.
"Is everything going well in the palace recently?" Yun Shang said calmly.
Lin Youran nodded quickly, lowered her head and responded softly: "The Queen is kind. She personally takes care of the food and clothing expenses of each palace. She will never allow the palace officials to deduct our expenses because we are not favored.
Everything is fine."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then said: "After Queen Hua returned to the palace, did you go to pay respects to Queen Hua in the morning?"
Lin Youran shook his head: "There is no need to pay greetings every day. You only need to go there once a month on the first day of the new year."
"Did you hear any unusual noises last night?" Yun Shang's voice was a little softer, with a somewhat unclear light in his eyes.
Lin Youran frowned and seemed to think for a long time before saying: "Except for the fact that the guards patrolled more frequently yesterday, there is no difference."
After saying that, he no longer asked about Empress Hua. He only looked up and looked at the furnishings in the palace, smiled and said: "I see that the palace is much deserted. Are there other concubines who often move around?
"
Lin Youran raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, nodded gently and said: "Earlier, the Oriole came over to chat with me for a while. Now that the Empress only dotes on the harem, we concubines don't need to think about what to do all day long.
How can I attract His Majesty's attention by dressing up? I have a lot of free time at once, so I often walk around each other, talk, enjoy flowers, and pass the time."
Yun Shang responded softly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "If you want to leave the palace, just tell me and I will arrange it. You are only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and you are in your prime.
When the time is right, it would be better to leave the palace than to live in desolation in this palace. Ning Qian is living a good life outside the palace now, and she should be getting married soon."
Lin Youran was stunned, a light flashed in his eyes, he raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang, his lips trembled slightly: "Can I still leave the palace?"
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled gently: "Of course you can, what's not to do?"
Lin Youran's eyes seemed a little moist. After thinking for a long time, she finally responded with a smile: "I am willing to leave the palace..."
Yun Shang nodded: "Okay, then just wait for me to arrange it."
After saying that, Yun Shang chatted with Lin Youran for a while before leaving the Xiang Bamboo Hall. Not long after leaving the Xiang Bamboo Hall, there was the Imperial Garden. When the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, there were also many flowers in the Imperial Garden.
The concubine is admiring flowers.
Yun Shang looked at the figures in the garden, with some emotion in her eyes: "I remember that it was about this time last year, not long after the beautiful ladies entered the palace. When I entered the palace, I could see women wearing clothes wherever I went.
Beautiful girls with beautiful flowers were walking through the imperial garden, hoping to meet His Majesty and win his favor in one fell swoop. The woman I saw at that time was as vibrant as a slowly blooming flower, but now, she seems to be withering.
of flowers.”
Qin Yi also realized something: "All the women in this palace are lonely, so lonely that they can hear the sound of aging."
Empress Hua returned to the palace, and Xia Huanyu's sole favor created the current scene. Xia Huanyu was affectionate, but this affection was only reserved for one person, but he left his ruthlessness to all other women. It can't be
It is said that Xia Huanyu is wrong, or Queen Hua is wrong...
Yun Shang was sighing secretly in her heart, but she heard Qin Yi lower her voice and said: "Crown Princess, your Majesty is here." (To be continued)
