Yun Shanghui's guess is not completely unreasonable. Wang Yuanjun is Xia Houjing's man. There are only two reasons for him to make such a fuss today. One is that Xia Houjing guessed that Xia Houjing was there before leaving Jincheng.
Huanyu might abdicate the throne to Luo Qingyan, so he stole the jade seal, and asked Wang Yuanjun under what circumstances to make a fuss about the jade seal.
Another possibility is that Xia Houjing never came to Liucang at all, and what he did before was just a plan to escape from his shell. What happened to Wang Yuanjun today was caused by Xia Houjing's instructions from behind.
Yun Shang is now more inclined to the second possibility, because the fact that Xia Huanyu abdicated the throne happened suddenly. Neither Yun Shang nor Luo Qingyan noticed anything wrong, and Xia Houjing was even less likely to notice it.
Luo Qingyan shook his head and said softly: "It's unlikely. First of all, Liu Yinfeng arrived in Liucang before. If Xia Houjing was not in Liucang, Liu Yinfeng would not know about it. Secondly, Wang Yuanjun obviously knew what happened today.
If I didn't seize the opportunity well, if Xia Houjing was in Jincheng, he would definitely not give me a chance to make a comeback."
Yun Shang thought about it carefully and then nodded. What Luo Qingyan said made sense.
After dinner, and just about to wash up and rest, Liu Wen'an hurried over, with a bit of anxiety on his face. As soon as he entered the inner hall, he said quickly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone has an insight into your Majesty's thoughts.
, this afternoon the servant quietly handed over the jade seal to a craftsman in the palace, and then sent someone to guard the craftsman. Just then the servant went to get the jade seal, and found that all the guards protecting the craftsman were killed, and the craftsman
and Yuxi have disappeared."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he clenched his hands slightly in his sleeves, raised his eyes, and did not hide the killing intent in his eyes, "So that's it, I thought Wang Yuanjun was eager for quick success, but I didn't know that he clearly chose deliberately.
I took such a time to cause trouble because I knew that after I discovered that the fake jade seal in my hand was wrong, I would definitely order someone to take advantage of the fact that the memorials yesterday and today have not yet been issued, and use the marks of the previous jade seals to remove the fake jade seal.
Revise it again. Wang Yuanjun only needs to keep an eye on Liu Wen'an's movements to know where I sent the jade seal, and then kill someone and take away the fake jade seal. In this way, I don't even have the fake jade seal in my hand.
.”
Liu Wen'an shook his head and said: "Although I am aware of it, I am afraid that no one can follow me without being discovered by me."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, yes, Liu Wen'an's martial arts is obviously extremely strong, but why is this happening?
"Maybe there is a traitor around me, or maybe the craftsman is from Wang Yuanjun." Luo Qingyan slowly sat down, holding the dragon head carved on the armrest tightly with his hand, and there were faint blue veins on his hand.
After all, he underestimated his opponent.
Liu Wen'an lowered his head and pondered for a long time before softly saying: "Your Majesty, look at us..."
Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes and carefully rubbed the dragon's mouth on the armrest of the chair, and said softly: "The most urgent task is to find out where the problem lies."
After a pause, Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Liu Wen'an and said: "The palace is heavily guarded. You order people to pay attention to it. The jade seal is so big, it is not easy to take it out of the palace. Then, order people to quietly stay in the palace.
search."
Liu Wen'an responded and then retreated.
Only Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were left in the hall. Yun Shang raised his eyes, looked at each other with Luo Qingyan, and understood what they were thinking. Neither of them said a word, and Yun Shang quietly shook hands.
He tightened the small white jade flute in his sleeve and rubbed it for a moment before raising his head and saying loudly: "Qinyi..."
Qinyi walked in in a hurry, and Yun Shangfang said, "Please help me and your majesty wash up."
Qinyi responded quickly, turned around and ordered the palace attendants outside to get hot water, then walked behind Yun Shang and carefully removed the numerous hairpins on Yun Shang's head one by one.
Yun Shang leaned in front of the dressing table, with a bit of laziness in her eyes, looking at herself in the bronze mirror quietly, and sighed, "I have to wear so many headdresses every day, I always feel...
Even my neck is no longer my own."
Hearing this, Qin Yi smiled slightly and said, "My Majesty is now a queen. If you don't dress according to the rules, you may be criticized by others."
Yun Shang nodded and said no more.
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes, glanced at the headdress on Yun Shang's head, then stood up, walked behind the desk, took out a memorial and read it.
Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan's movements from the bronze mirror, and whispered to Qin Yi: "I don't know when my father and mother will receive my letter. Now Cang Jue Qingsu is here at the border."
After all, there is no way to look at the country like a tiger. If the father sends troops to attack the Yelang Kingdom, it can divert some of his attention, and we can take a breather. With internal and external troubles, we are really being roasted on the fire now.
"
Hearing this, Qin Yi softly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already ordered people to deliver the letter to Ningguo Imperial City as quickly as possible."
"That's good." Yun Shang yawned lightly, "Today is technically the first day. If I feel so tired on the first day, how can I do it in the future?"
Qinyi smiled and said, "I'll take a bath later and you'll feel better."
Just as he was talking, he heard someone from the palace calling softly, "Your Majesty, the Queen, the hot water is ready."
"Come in." Yun Shang yawned again and responded softly.
Several palace attendants lined up outside and walked in one after another carrying water. They walked to the clean room and poured the water into the big bathtub.
"Your Majesty, Madam, the water is ready."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, waved away the palace attendants, stood up and let Qin Yi take off her robe, and then walked into the clean room.
After Yun Shang washed up, she ordered someone to change the water and asked Luo Qingyan to take a bath. Luo Qingyan entered the clean room, and Yun Shang rested on the phoenix couch early. Qin Yi put down the bed curtain,
Then he stepped aside.
When Luo Qingyan came out of the bath, Yun Chang had already fallen asleep. There was only a palace lantern with pictures of ladies painted on all sides in the inner hall. It was a bit dim. Luo Qingyan opened the bed curtain and lay down next to Yun Chang.
Qinyi closed the bed curtain, took off the palace lantern together with the lampshade of the octagonal lady picture, took the lamp and walked out, resting in the antrum.
The night was very quiet. Luo Qingyan took the quilt and covered it with Yun Shang. He stretched out his hand and held Yun Shang's hand. However, he noticed that Yun Shang scratched his hand gently, and then wrote a few words one by one.
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment, then took Yun Shang's hand, pulled her into his arms, and the two fell asleep together.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Yun Shang heard Liu Wen'an's voice coming from outside, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and go to court."
Yun Shang frowned, turned over, muttered a few words, and then continued to sleep. Before she fell asleep, she noticed that the person next to her had stood up, and Yun Shang opened her eyes in confusion.
When he passed by, he saw that Luo Qingyan had stood up and walked to the table to light a lamp. Luo Qingyan turned his head and saw that Yun Shang also opened his eyes. Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "
It’s still early, so you can sleep a little longer.”
Yun Shang nodded and just closed her eyes when something suddenly came to her mind and she sat up suddenly.
Luo Qingyan was also startled, and when he saw Yun Shang staring blankly at the bed curtain, he couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing, madam?"
Yun Shang shook his head to wake himself up a little, then raised his eyes to look at Luo Qing and said: "What time is it now?"
Luo Qingyan responded softly: "It's almost time."
Yun Shang calculated in his mind for a long time before saying: "It's Mao hour, it's already passed Yin hour."
Luo Qingyan was a little confused as to what Yun Shang's somewhat incomprehensible words meant. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Yun Shang shouting: "Qin Yi, come in and wait for your Majesty to dress."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, his eyes fell on Yun Shang, with a little doubt.
Qinyi had already gotten up. Hearing Yun Shang's call, he quickly answered and walked in, holding a palace lantern in his hand. The palace lantern was covered with an octagonal lampshade with pictures of ladies. Qinyi placed the palace lantern on the
He stood on the dressing table, walked to the window, and pushed the window halfway open.
Luo Qingyan had already put on his shoes, so Qinyi quickly took the dragon robe and put it on Luo Qingyan, arranged it carefully, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, please tie your hair.
"
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment, then walked to the bronze mirror and sat down. Qinyi took a comb to comb Luo Qingyan's hair. As he was combing it, the two lights in the hall suddenly went out, and the hall was dark for a while.
.
Qin Yi screamed in surprise, hurriedly let go of Luo Qingyan's hair, took a fire stick to light the palace lantern, and then said quickly: "Maybe it's windy outside, so I'll close the window now."
Then he ran to the window and closed the window again.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, bit her lip, remained silent for a long time, and then whispered: "The craftsman hasn't found it yet? The jade seal hasn't been found either?"
Luo Qingyan nodded, his eyes as deep as the sea.
Hearing this, Yun Shang became even more worried, "The fake jade seal has not been found yet, and I am in court today. If someone mentions this matter, how will your Majesty respond..." The voice was full of worry.
Luo Qingyan sighed softly and frowned: "Never mind it, the soldiers are coming to block the water and cover it up with the soil. The person sitting on the dragon's chair now is me after all. I don't believe it. I can't cure them."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled helplessly, knowing in her heart that even as an emperor, there were many things he could do nothing about.
Not long after, Qin Yi had tied up Luo Qingyan's hair, and then took a gold hair crown inlaid with huge pearls and put it on Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan just stood up, turned around and said softly to Yun Shang: "It's still early, just rest for a while, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Yun Shang responded, and Luo Qingyan left the inner hall. Yun Shang heard Luo Qingyan's voice coming from outside, "Let's go."
The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared. Yun Shangfang raised her head and looked at Qinyi. Qinyi smiled slightly and said, "Mother, please sleep a little longer."
Yun Shang responded and lay back down again, staring intently at the pattern of phoenix wings spread on the top of the bed. After a long time, she closed her eyes. (To be continued)
