The letter was not long, so I read it carefully and finished it in just a moment. With a deep look in Yun Shang's eyes, she read the letter again.
In the letter, Xia Huanyu repeatedly told Liu Yinfeng not to tell Xia Hojing about that incident in Liu Cang, or to say anything about what happened back then. He only wanted to bury it forever. Unless he had no choice, never reveal it easily. Otherwise,
, it is really difficult to deal with so many people involved. Moreover, Xia Huanyu mentioned in the letter that he had already discussed it with Luo Qingyan, and Xia Houjing's life would definitely not be harmed.
Yun Shang looked confused, her mind filled with doubts.
There are three doubts. One is, what happened when Xia Huanyu repeatedly asked Liu Yinfeng not to tell Xia Houjing? The other is, what happened back then did Xia Houjing try to hide? The third is, Xia Huanyu asked Luo Qingyan
Why did he tell Liu Yinfeng not to hurt Xia Houjing's life?
Yun Shang frowned, remembering that Liu Yinfeng had also begged Luo Qingyan and her, hoping to spare Xia Houjing's life.
She could understand why Xia Huanyu and Liu Yinfeng wanted to save Xia Houjing's life so much. Xia Huanyu's reason was that Xia Houjing was his favored son after all. Liu Yinfeng's reason was that Xia Houjing was Liu Fei.
's children.
However, after reading the letter, she felt that there seemed to be some ulterior secret hidden in it. Yun Shang suddenly remembered the question she had always wondered before, who were Xia Huanyu and Liu Yinfeng?
Relationship? Liu Yinfeng is undoubtedly a very special existence in the Xia Kingdom's court. Liu Yinfeng does not have an official position, but he is deeply used by Xia Huanyu.
Before, she heard that Liu Yinfeng had been regarded as a child prodigy since he was a child, and he also liked Concubine Liu. She thought it was because Xia Huanyu admired Liu Yinfeng's talent and felt ashamed of Concubine Liu that he obeyed Liu so much.
Yinfeng and Liu Yinfeng were indifferent to fame and fortune and did not want to be an official, so Xia Huanyu did not force it.
But now, Yun Shang feels that this reason seems a bit too far-fetched...
Her mind was filled with all kinds of questions, and Yun Shang felt that the Xia Kingdom seemed to be full of secrets. However, the most urgent thing she needed to understand was that there was no Liu Yinfeng for so long.
Was it because Liu Yinfeng was trapped, or because Liu Yinfeng might have betrayed them? Or was it because Liu Yinfeng had never taken refuge with them at all, and everything was just a lie?
As if her heart was suddenly grasped, Yun Shang bit her lip, closed her eyes, and secretly calmed down her mood.
No, no matter what, this matter should be discussed with Luo Qingyan. If Liu Yinfeng really might have betrayed, they must think of another way to avoid the situation from getting worse. Xia Huanyu must be hiding something from them.
, and this matter may be of great importance.
Xia Huanyu and Yun Shang shook their heads, she couldn't believe him now.
Yun Shang opened her eyes and her eyes fell on the letter. The handwriting on the letter was graceful and free. Yun Shang squinted her eyes. Hua Ling might be a good ally. Hua Ling has not yet recovered her memory.
Xia Huanyu may not have any special feelings. When she agreed to return to Jincheng, it was just because of her debt to Luo Qingyan. However, Xia Huanyu has a genuine and deep love for Hua Ling. If feelings become a weapon
, then whoever invests deeper will be the loser.
It's just that Liu Yinfeng...
Yun Shang narrowed his eyes. Liu Yinfeng didn't seem to be that kind of scheming person, but if Liu Yinfeng was Xia Houjing's man, then Xia Houjing really got a very big help. Yu Yunshang and the others
It is also a huge threat.
Yun Shang hypothesized all the possibilities in her mind, but did not think of a solution.
After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, when Qianqiu called Yun Shang, Yun Shang was not asleep at all. Yun Shang responded, thought about it, and finally put the letter back into his sleeve before sitting up.
, opened the bed curtain.
Qianzuo helped Yun Shang get up and dressed Yun Shang neatly. Yun Shang saw that it was still early and the sun outside had not set yet, so he sat down on the edge of the sofa. Qianzui poured tea for Yun Shang, and Yun Shang
After taking the tea cup, he raised his head and said, "What have the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor been doing in the palace these days? The Supreme Emperor has been busy for most of his life, and suddenly he is free. I'm afraid he is not used to it."
When Qian Zui heard the words, he raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Yun Shang, and then smiled and said, "Isn't that true? The Emperor has been arguing and boring these past two days. He often invites the Queen Mother to play chess and paint together, and occasionally
I pass the time by reading books and practicing my swordsmanship. The Queen Mother is more used to it, copying scriptures every day and just reading books can get by."
Yun Shang nodded, as if deep in thought, and then continued after a brief sip: "Yesterday, my slave heard that the Supreme Emperor said that in a few days, he would take the Queen Mother out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. He also said
, although he has been the emperor for more than thirty years and can be regarded as the master of the Xia Kingdom, he has never really been able to see all the scenery of the Xia Kingdom. This is also a big regret for him. He wants to take advantage of it.
Now that I have some free time, I can make up for this regret."
When Yun Shang heard this, his eyes flashed. Traveling? Now that Xia is in trouble at home and abroad, it is not a good time to travel. What is Xia Huanyu's plan? Could it be that he wants to take advantage of it?
In the name of sightseeing, quietly go to Liucang?
The more Yun Shang thought about it, the more she realized that this was very possible. She was extremely worried, so she quickly looked at Qin Yi and said, "Did your Majesty tell you when he will come?"
Qin Yi quickly shook her head, looked at Yun Shang's face, and then responded softly: "I never mentioned when I would come, but it's almost dinner time, so your Majesty must be here soon."
Yun Shang nodded and said nothing.
After a while, before Luo Qingyan came over, Yun Shang became a little anxious. After thinking about it, she said to Qin Yi: "Tell someone to prepare hot water. I want to take a bath and I'm sweating a little."
Qin Yi was stunned. The weather at the end of October was already very cold. How could she be sweating?
Yun Shangxu also thought of this, and then said softly: "I just took a nap, maybe I dreamed about something in my dream. When I woke up, I was covered in cold sweat. I didn't feel it just now. I sat here for a while before I felt it."
My back is wet, and I feel a little uncomfortable wearing my clothes."
Hearing this, Qin Yi looked a little anxious: "The weather is cold. If you don't change into clean clothes in time if you sweat, you may catch a cold easily. I will ask someone to prepare to go."
After Qin Yi finished speaking, he hurried out of the inner hall.
After a while, Banxia and Peilan walked in with the still steaming water and entered the clean room. After a while, they walked out and said with a smile: "Mother, the water is ready.
My slaves, please wait for the queen to take a bath."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, then said calmly: "Your Majesty will be here soon. You go to the kitchen to see how the dinner is being prepared. Just let Qin Yi and Qian Zui wait for me to take a bath."
Banxia and Peilan agreed and retreated.
Yun Shang took Qianzui and Qinyi into the clean room, and only heard the sound of water coming from inside. Occasionally, Qianzui or Qinyi asked in a low voice, "Mother, is the water hot enough?"
After a while, Yun Shang walked out of the clean room after taking a bath. As soon as she put on clean clothes, she heard the voice of greetings coming from outside. Yun Shang turned around and saw Luo Qingyan walking in from the door.
, Luo Qingyan was also stunned when he saw Yun Shang with her hair disheveled, "Did you just get up?"
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, not wanting to lift the pot. Yesterday, he tormented her so much. Yun Shang snorted, and then said calmly: "I had a nightmare when I took a nap earlier, and I was sweating all over.
I’ve washed it, but it’s not tidied up yet.”
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he asked with concern: "What did you dream about?"
Yun Shang was silent for a long time, then blurted out: "I can't remember the details anymore. I vaguely remember dreaming that everyone betrayed us, and then we died."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he pulled Yun Shang to sit down beside him and said with a smile: "You don't have to go out anymore, and you don't have to pull your hair back. How could you have such a dream? The dream is reversed.
Don’t worry, something like this won’t happen.”
Yun Shang became quiet after hearing what Luo Qingyan said, and nodded thoughtfully. She raised her eyes and wanted to say something, but she was worried about how many pairs of eyes were staring and how many pairs of ears were listening in the Weiyang Palace.
I had no choice but to give up.
Yun Shang didn't listen to Luo Qingyan, and still called Qin Yi to pull up her hair in a simple bun. Then she raised her eyes and said to Luo Qingyan: "After dinner later, let's go for a walk in the imperial garden, sir.
If you take a break after having dinner, it is easy for you to accumulate food."
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yun Shang with a bit of inquiry, as if he was secretly guessing Yun Shang's thoughts. His expression paused slightly, then nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you."
"Your Majesty, Madam, dinner is ready." Banxia's voice came from outside, Yun Shang responded, stood up and left the inner hall.
After dinner, Yun Shang asked the nanny to bring Bao'er over, and they walked towards the Imperial Garden with Bao'er in her arms. After walking around in the Imperial Garden, Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at a pavilion by the waterside.
, glanced at Bao'er who was already asleep in his arms, and then said softly: "We are a little tired from walking, let's go to the pavilion to have a rest."
Luo Qingyan agreed and entered the pavilion with Yun Shang. Since they were just taking a walk, only Qinyi and Qianzuo were with them. Yun Shang asked them to wait outside the pavilion and sat in the pavilion with Luo Qingyan.
But he remained silent.
"Tell me, but what happened? I see you have been uneasy for the past half day." Luo Qingyan spoke first and asked softly.
Yun Shang thought for a while and then said: "Qianzui brought a letter from the Taihe Palace earlier. It was a letter written by the Supreme Emperor to Liu Yinfeng. The Queen Mother found it, and then she copied the letter quietly.
Delivered to me."
Luo Qingyan frowned when he heard the words, and listened to Yun Shang recounting the contents of the letter and her guess. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Liu Yinfeng may be hiding something from us, but he should not have betrayed him. I arranged it
The detailed investigation revealed that Liu Yinfeng had a big quarrel with Xia Houjing in Liucang, because he was trying to dissuade Xia Houjing from treason. Later, Xia Houjing became angry and imprisoned Liu Yinfeng." (To be completed.)
