Luo Qingyan paused for a moment before continuing: "It's just that I want to know what Xia Huanyu said about what happened back then? Why can't Xia Houjing know about it and why should he hide everything?
people."
Yun Shang gently stroked Bao'er's back and looked at the layers of water patterns blown by the wind on the lake. After being silent for a long time, she said: "First of all, we must understand what year it was. Since Xia Huanyu asked Liu Yinfeng
Don't tell Xia Houjing, it must be something that Liu Yinfeng also knows. Xia Huanyu and Liu Yinfeng met after Liu Fei entered the palace. What happened after Liu Fei entered the palace made Xia Huanyu do everything possible to hide it
of?"
A bright light flashed in Yun Shang's mind, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Luo Qingyan: "Could it be the death of Concubine Liu?"
Perhaps because Yun Shang turned around a little too much, Bao'er in his arms felt a little uncomfortable, so he let out a cry. Yun Shang quickly patted his back again, soothing him and falling asleep again.
"I have heard many people talk about the death of Concubine Liu. I once asked Liu Yinfeng why Xia Huanyu favored the seventh prince. Liu Yinfeng said that maybe it was because Xia Huanyu felt ashamed of him. Many people in the palace were worried.
It is said that Concubine Liu was killed by Xia Huanyu himself. Most rumors say that it was because Xia Huanyu suddenly went crazy and became possessed on the anniversary of the death of Empress Hua, so he killed Concubine Liu. The Seventh Prince was also seriously injured by His Majesty.
, thus leaving the root of the disease. Rumor has it that Empress Hua couldn't see that Her Majesty had a new wife, so the ghost caused trouble and killed Concubine Liu. Xia Huanyu also specially invited many Taoist monks to come. The so-called experts also said so.
It only got worse. Later, Xia Huanyu killed some palace officials to scare the monkeys, and the rumors stopped."
Yun Shang squinted her eyes, her eyes full of sparkle: "I felt it was very strange before. Most of the time, someone used Queen Hua to deal with Concubine Liu and the Seventh Prince, but Xia Huanyu did not do it for Queen Hua.
In my defense, I didn’t even investigate the truth, I just ordered the palace to seal it. But the method of sealing it seems to be a tacit admission that the rumors are true."
Luo Qingyan had never delved into this matter. Hearing Yun Shang talk about it like this, he felt full of doubts, especially Xia Huanyu's attitude, which seemed to be covering up something. Maybe, the theory of ghosts was not at all.
It was Xia Huanyu who spread it himself.
Yun Shang pondered for a long time before saying: "This matter is worth investigating. Although Xia Huanyu killed some people to silence them, it was impossible to kill everyone. I will order people to find some palace secretly when I come down.
Ask the old people in the palace, especially those who have served in Concubine Liu's palace, to inquire about it. As long as something has happened before, it cannot be covered up forever."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and then said: "Then I will send someone to find the people who used to serve in the Liu Mansion, and even Liu Jin and his family can be checked. I heard what you said
Regarding this matter, I am reminded of something I had doubted before."
Luo Qingyan stroked his sleeves and sat down in the pavilion: "Back then, everyone in the Liu family gradually became rich and noble because of Concubine Liu entering the palace. Everyone in the family received a lot of benefits. Liu Jin
He was just a teacher in a small town before, but he was promoted all the way to Taiwei. Even if Concubine Liu was favored again, Xia Huanyu would not be so confused. Moreover, Liu Yinfeng was Liu Jin's adopted son, and Liu Yinfeng's talent
You have seen it before, but what do you think of Liu Jin?"
Before Yun Shang could answer, Luo Qingyan sneered: "Even Liu Jin may not be able to teach Liu Yinfeng."
Yun Shang was startled. Luo Qing said this because he was doubting...
Yun Shang suddenly turned her head to look at Luo Qingyan, like a thunderbolt flashing through her mind. Luo Qingyan felt that Liu Yinfeng's identity was doubtful. Even when Concubine Liu entered the palace and Liu Jin was promoted all the way, there was no doubt about it.
It was not because of Concubine Liu's favor, but because of Liu Yinfeng.
But, is this possible? Yun Shang thought about it carefully. Although what Luo Qingyan said was a bit mysterious, it was still the problem. She had always felt that Liu Yinfeng's identity was a mystery, and Liu Yinfeng was there.
The treatment received in the Xia Kingdom's court was unique and no one else was treated the same way. Yun Shang sorted everything out in her mind, but she felt that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Seeing Yun Shang's appearance, Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I'm just making random guesses. There is no need to take it seriously. This matter needs to be investigated carefully before we can reach a conclusion."
Yun Shang nodded, thought for a while, then brought the small white jade flute and ordered the secret stake in the palace to quietly investigate the death of Concubine Liu.
The two sat in silence for a while, and then Yun Shang sighed again and said: "I changed all the people in the palace, and I don't know if the people who are staring at us are still in Weiyang Palace, but I feel very
It's possible that it's still there."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "It doesn't matter, this is a hidden danger, but it is also an opportunity."
Yun Shang naturally understood what he meant. The man passed on the news they heard from them. If they could tell some false news, they could mislead the people behind the scenes. This would be an opportunity.
A gust of autumn wind blew, Luo Qingyan stretched out her hand to help Yun Shang gather her clothes, and said softly: "I will arrange these things. Don't overwork yourself. The weather is getting colder, so wear more clothes."
If you don't have any clothes, just ask the Clothing Bureau to make them."
The corners of Yun Shang's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a smile: "I am also a martial arts practitioner, so it doesn't matter if I'm cold. Isn't your Majesty just wearing a robe?"
When Luo Qingyan heard the words, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he reached out and grabbed Yun Shang's hand and said: "How is this the same? You are different. You are a woman. I heard Xue Yan say that women cannot catch the cold.
If you catch a cold, you will have abdominal pain when you go to Kuishui, and you will suffer a lot from now on."
Yun Shang didn't know that Luo Qingyan would actually say these words. Although she was moved, she was also a little curious. She raised her eyebrows with a bit of confusion in her eyes, "Why did the miracle doctor Xueyan say this to His Majesty?"
Luo Qingyan's expression did not change, and she said softly: "After you were trapped in the ice cellar last time, I was worried that you would have some illnesses, so I went to ask the miracle doctor Xueyan. He said that women are most afraid of the cold. It's cold today.
Now, Xia Kingdom is a bit cold and damp, and now in the palace, everything is available, so you should pay attention to some things."
"Okay." Yun Shang curled her lips and held Luo Qingyan's hand tighter.
After standing for a while, Yun Shang retracted her hand, hugged Bao'er and returned to Weiyang Palace together, washed up, and took a rest early.
Early in the morning of the second day, it started to rain. It wasn't heavy, but it didn't stop. It rained continuously for two days. Yun Shang was too lazy to go out, so she spent two days reading in Weiyang Palace.
It wasn't until the evening of the third day that the rain stopped. After two days of continuous rain, it really cooled down. Hua'er walked in from outside carrying a food box, her face was as white as snow from the cold.
After putting down the food box, she quickly rubbed her hands. Yun Shang looked at it and said with a smile: "It's getting cold, so wear more clothes. If you don't have suitable clothes, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some."
Hua'er responded with a smile, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already sent winter clothes to the slaves, but I didn't feel how cold it was when I was in the house. After walking around, I realized that it was really cold.
Come down."
After saying that, he opened the food box and took out a bowl of soup and said with a smile: "Aunt Qinyi ordered someone to make a pot of simmered pheasant shreds and bird's nest soup. It's still a bit hot, but it's good to drink to warm your body."
Yun Shang smiled and put down the book in her hand, then walked to the table and sat down, "Can I send it to His Majesty?"
"Aunt Qinyi went to send it off." Hua'er responded with a smile and handed the spoon to Yun Shang. Yun Shang took a spoonful and drank it. She said with a smile: "It's very delicious."
Just as he said this, Qian Zui walked in and said, "Mother."
Yun Shang raised her eyes to respond, and then she saw Qianzui wanted to say something, but she seemed to have seen the paintings in the room, so she swallowed the words on the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "It's cold, even if the queen is in the room
When reading, you should wear an extra cloak."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing: "Farewell, early this morning, Qinyi said that His Majesty ordered her to wear a quilted jacket for me, which made me unable to move even while sitting here.
I don’t dare to move, and I will sweat whenever I move. I am wearing a cloak, and I feel that in this winter, I will be covered with prickly heat.”
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Qian Zui and Hua'er couldn't help laughing. Yun Sang drank the soup, then asked Hua'er to pack up the bowl and retreat. Hua'er retreated, and Yun Shang smiled.
He stood up and said, "I haven't been out of Weiyang Palace for almost three days. Your Majesty sent a message earlier, saying that today I have to deal with political affairs in the Taiji Palace and will not come back for dinner. Taking this opportunity, I will go to the Taiji Palace."
I walked around the palace, and I haven’t visited the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother for several days.”
After Qian Zui heard this, he hurriedly went to get the cloak. He said with a bit of joking in his eyes: "Your Majesty has ordered that if the queen is in the house, just wear the quilted middle coat, but if she wants to go out, the cloak will be required."
It must be put on."
Yun Shang glared at her, but she couldn't help it. Now that Luo Qingyan was his majesty, the people around her did not dare to disobey Luo Qingyan's will. She couldn't help but sigh. Before, she thought Luo Qingyan
Qingyan just mentioned it casually, but she didn't want to give detailed instructions to the palace attendants in Weiyang Palace one by one, what clothes to wear when, and how to keep her safe from the cold.
The rain had just stopped for a while, and the ground was still a little wet. Fortunately, someone from the palace had already cleaned the dew from the grass on the roadside, so the clothes would not get wet.
Yun Shang left Weiyang Palace and walked slowly towards Taihe Palace. When she reached a more open area, she softly spoke: "Do you have something to report?"
Qian Zui responded and lowered his voice: "The secret guards have been investigating Concubine Liu's matter for two or three days. The old man who was serving in Concubine Liu's palace has not been found yet. Naturally, the secret guards discovered something strange.
thing."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "What's this weird method? Let me tell you."
"When Concubine Liu was pregnant, there were four Wen women who attended Concubine Liu's delivery. However, those four Wen women all died on the second day after the seventh prince was born." Qian Zui lowered his voice a little lower.
