After Luo Qingyan came back, he was a little surprised to see Shen Ke. After telling Shen Ke to go to the kitchen and order dinner, Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at Yun Shang, "What's going on?"
Looking at his appearance, Yun Shang knew that he might have found out that the person staring at Weiyang Palace was Shen Ke. Yun Shang blinked at Luo Qingyan and said with a smile: "Dangerous people must be put aside.
Be safe by your side.”
In fact, Yun Shang knew more that since Shen Ke was Xia Huanyu's person, the most he could do was to keep an eye on her and report everything about her to Xia Huanyu in detail without hurting her life.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally best to keep it by your side. In this way, it actually frees up more space for Yun Shang.
Luo Qingyan saw Yun Shang's cunning eyes and understood what Yun Shang was thinking. He sighed softly and said, "I originally wanted to deal with him directly, but your method is excellent."
"It's been dealt with..." Yun Shang smiled, "I have thought about it, but if we can deal with one, there will be another one, and the next one may be hidden deeper and cause unnecessary trouble.
, that’s it, it’s pretty good.”
Luo Qingyan knew that Yun Shang had his own sense of propriety, so he said no more, walked to the soft couch and sat down, pulling Yun Shang to sit beside him, staring at Yun Sang and laughing, Yun Shang was laughed so hard that all the hair on his body stood up.
He stood up and said, "What are you laughing at?"
"I received a message earlier saying that the Ning Kingdom sent troops to attack the Yelang Kingdom." Luo Qingyan leaned back, put his hands under his head, and looked at Yun Shang with a smile.
Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes were filled with surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why are you lying? The Ning State sent 400,000 people to surprise the northernmost city of Yelang State, Qimucuo. The Yelang State was unprepared. The Ning State army captured three cities in a row in just four days.
." A trace of cruelty flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes, "I have already ordered Zhao Yingjie to cling to Cangjue Qingsu, but I did not face the enemy head-on, and only used harassment tactics so that he had no time to rescue him. This time, I let him
It’s too late for him to regret it.”
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, but felt a little worried in her heart, "Although my father sent people to attack and capture the three cities of Yelang Kingdom, as far as I know, the cities in the north of Yelang Kingdom are all very poor places, and it is not very difficult to defeat them.
The benefits are huge, and it will take some time for Ningguo’s army to reach Yelangguo’s imperial city. Even if the resistance encountered along the way is small, it will take at least three months. I wonder if Cangjue Qingsu will
He would directly abandon the barren land in the north, but join forces with Xia Houjing to launch a fierce attack on our Xia Kingdom. If he captures the Xia Kingdom, he can also take some cities from Xia Houjing's hands, but the cities of the Xia Kingdom are more expensive than Ye
Those in the north of Lang's country are much richer, so it would not be a loss for him."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "I have thought about this problem before, but Cang Jue Qingsu is a ruthless person and cannot bear any loss, but he is not willing to trust anyone. He is not afraid of Xia Houjing.
I completely believe it. Xia Houjing looks gentle on the surface, but he is also very scheming. Between these two people, only interests can be maintained, and there is no trust at all. Such a relationship is also the best to provoke."
Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment and then said quietly: "What happened to Yelang Kingdom is definitely not a good thing for Xia Houjing. He must hope that Cangjue Qingsu can ignore it and continue to attack Xia Kingdom with him. I let
The secret guards disguised themselves as Xia Houjing's people and went to touch Cangjue Qingsu's food and grass. Although Cangjue Qingsu also knew that his best way was to capture the Xia Kingdom, he was definitely furious at Xia Houjing's behavior. Once they
When internal strife breaks out, this is our opportunity."
Yun Shang nodded, smiled at Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Majesty's plan to sow discord is a very good one."
Just as he was saying this, he heard the voice of Hua'er outside and thought: "Your Majesty, Madam, it's time for dinner."
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan stood up together and walked to the outer hall. Shen Ke and Banxia were serving food at the table. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, thinking that with Shen Ke's martial arts, what they said just now must have been heard.
Okay, next time I have to remind Qianzuo and the others to be careful. Once Shen Ke appears nearby, I have to find a way to tell her. Fortunately, what I just said was about the battlefield.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced around, but she always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered, "Why haven't you seen Liu Wen'an with you in the past few days?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "I sent him to do some things and he will be here soon."
Liu Wen'an was away, so the task of trying the dishes fell on Peilan. After Peilan tried the dishes, Yun Shang took the chopsticks handed over by Ban Xia and started to eat.
In the next few days, everything went as usual, but the weather became colder and colder. As soon as the winter months arrived, Qinyi ordered people to prepare a brazier and put it in the inner hall. The wind outside was biting, so Yun Shang
He didn't want to go out more and more, so he stayed in the inner hall all day long, handling affairs, reading, and teasing Bao'er, and he was enjoying himself.
Qian Zhui opened the purple bead curtain that she had just ordered to hang up, walked to Yun Shang, lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, there is news."
When Yun Shang heard this, she raised her eyes and looked outside out of habit: "Where is Shen Ke?"
Qianzuo quickly smiled and said: "Sister Qinyi took him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick up the winter clothes for us Weiyang palace palace maids. We just left not long ago, and we need some waiters before we can come back."
Yun Shang felt relieved and asked softly: "What's the news?"
"A few days ago, the secret guards went around to investigate about Concubine Liu's affairs, but found that the people who served around Concubine Liu, even the palace servants, were dealt with cleanly. However, the secret guards were responsible for the affairs of those stable women.
We searched the surrounding villages and found clues." Qianzui lowered her voice, her eyes full of excitement. She had been worrying about this matter for the past few days, but all she heard was bad news.
, I suddenly got an important clue today, so I am very happy.
Yun Shang also quickly answered: "But did Po Wen's family survive the disaster?"
Qianzuo nodded quickly, "Yes, he is the husband of one of the Wen Pos. When their family was attacked by bandits, he was injured. Seeing the ferocity of the bandits, he simply pretended to be dead, but he escaped as expected.
After a disaster, he was later saved by people from the surrounding villages and saved his life. He also settled in the village. The child is now more than ten years old. The secret guards arrested him and interrogated him for several times.
He didn't want to say anything every time, but the secret guard said that he must know something."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, and somewhat understood why he was like this: "I'm afraid that it was because he knew something. He already knew that the tragic incident that year was caused by that incident, so he was afraid of repeating the same mistake, so he bit him to death.
I would like to admit it. I would like to meet that person in person. I have a hunch that what he knows must be very surprising. Where is that person now? "
"In a small village called Qishui not far from Jincheng, the servant has ordered someone to take him back to Jincheng quietly. Does the empress want to see him?" Qianzuo's eyes widened, "But now the empress wants to
I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of the palace. If we send that person to the palace, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. It would be a pity if the clues we finally found are broken."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, this is a problem, we have to find a better place.
Yun Shang lay down on the soft couch, lightly knocked on the soft-sided table with her hand, and with some consideration in her eyes, she suddenly sat up after a long while: "I thought of a place that was safe, and even if I
Even if you leave the palace and go there, no one will suspect you."
"Your Majesty, you are saying..." Qian Zui's eyes were full of doubts. After thinking for a long time, he never thought of where such a place was.
Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "The Duke's Mansion."
When Qian Zui heard this, he patted his legs and exclaimed: "Why didn't I think of the Duke's mansion? Okay, I'll send someone to make arrangements right now."
"As soon as possible, I can't wait to know what kind of secret Xia Huanyu went through so much trouble to hide." Yun Shang narrowed his eyes and pinched the page in his hand.
It must be a little wrinkled.
Qian Zui agreed and was about to go out, but he remembered another incident, so he turned back and said softly: "By the way, Madam, please listen to Qinghao's report. Last night, Shen Ke went out."
However, Qing Hao was worried that Shen Ke, a highly skilled martial artist, would find him, so he had to follow him from a distance, and seemed to see Shen Ke meeting the same person."
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Qian Zui: "Did you know that the person who met Shen Ke was from the palace?"
Qian Zhui shook his head, "Qinghao didn't dare to alert the snake, so he didn't order the secret guards to investigate."
"That's all, there's no need to check." Yun Shang smiled, "It's probably from the Taihe Palace. I'm afraid it's because we have been trying every means to tie up Shen Ke in the past few days, and he hasn't been to the Taihe Palace for a few days.
He reported it to the Palace of Supreme Harmony, so the Supreme Emperor sent people to inquire. But at night, the Supreme Emperor did not dare to let Shen Ke go directly to the Palace of Supreme Harmony because the Queen Mother was around. Well, you can find a way to arrange for Shen Ke to be alone.
We are going to run an errand. If we are too careful, I am afraid it will be counterproductive."
Qian Zui agreed in a low voice, then bowed again and retreated.
Yun Shang stroked the wrinkled pages of the book, but she was a little lost in thought. She had a hunch that the most important clue about Concubine Liu would be found by her, perhaps in the stable husband. She recently
I always felt that Concubine Liu's matter might reveal a shocking secret.
But she didn't know whether her premonition was true or false, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, fearing that this secret would be bad for Luo Qingyan. If it was bad for Luo Qingyan, she would give it to her no matter how much she paid.
