Because Yun Shang specifically ordered Qian Zui to hurry up, and because the village was not too far away from Jincheng, the man was sent to Jincheng by the secret guards on the third day, and was temporarily placed in the Duke of Hua's mansion.
One night in advance, Qian Zui revealed the news to Yun Shang. Yun Shang didn't know what kind of clues he would get from the man, so he didn't tell Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan returned to Weiyang Palace, and when the two were chatting, Yun Shangcai said with emotion: "It's been a while since I've been to the Duke's Mansion. Now that we have moved to this palace, it is a bit inconvenient. Normally
Those who move around are also alienated. After all, Duke Hua and his wife are among the few people in Xia Kingdom who have treated us sincerely from the beginning. I feel that even because of this sincerity, we cannot
As soon as I sat in this position, I completely forgot about it.”
"If you meet each other, just call them into the palace." Luo Qingyan was reading a book, and when he heard what Yun Shang said, he responded casually.
Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words: "Your Majesty said this lightly, and the Duke and his wife are fine. However, Duke Hua is a foreigner after all, so he cannot easily enter the harem. Duke Hua is currently at home,
I’m afraid it’s too boring. I’m thinking that I don’t have much to do now, why don’t we all go out to the Duke’s Mansion tomorrow?”
Liu Wen'an stood aside and smiled and said: "A few days ago, I was chatting with Mr. Lin from the Yushitai. I also heard Mr. Lin say that one day before, I met Duke Hua by chance at Longfeng Tower and was dragged by him.
I have been playing chess for most of the day."
"Since the Duke of Hua resigned from office, he has nothing to do except looking for people to play chess. He also goes to the camp outside the city to train recruits. I heard that the soldiers in the recruit training camp are also miserable." Yun Shang's eyes were filled with tears.
smile.
Luo Qingyan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, if you want to leave the palace, order more people to follow you. Liu Wen'an, go and make arrangements."
Liu Wen'an responded and left the inner hall. Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang, "Are you really just going to visit the Duke's wife and Duke Hua?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes were full of smiles, "That's not entirely true. I haven't seen Ning Qian and Qian Yin for a while. Previously, because someone was staring at Weiyang Palace, I had not seen them.
I didn't dare to let them contact me. I ordered the secret guards to pass the message to them and asked them to wait at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow. Didn't I send them to Liu Cang some time ago? I have to ask.
Ask if there is any news."
"Well, let them go to the Duke's Mansion. Don't go anywhere else. Take more people with you." Luo Qingyan ordered in a low voice.
Yun Shang responded one by one, but saw that Luo Qingyan was still frowning, and after a while he said: "I still feel a little uneasy. You are not in the place where I can see you, but you always remind me of fear.
"
Yun Shang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "When did your majesty become so timid? How amazing is this? How can such a timid person deal with the enemy's thousands of troops?"
Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang and snorted coldly: "Even facing thousands of troops, I have never been so nervous." After saying that, he paused again, and then Luo Qingyan sighed softly.
There was a hint of melancholy in his tone, "Shang'er, you don't know, I hate myself every time I fail to protect you."
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan's brows furrowed, with a bit of sadness in her eyes, and the tip of her nose was slightly sour. She smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will protect myself well. You see, now I'm not
Are you okay? You're alive and kicking..."
Luo Qingyan swallowed the bitterness in her throat, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, looking at Yun Shang with a bit of teasing in her eyes, "Then, please give me a lively jump, the Queen, and let me have a look."
"Not serious." Yun Shang never thought that Luo Qingyan's mood would change so quickly. She was accidentally teased by Luo Qingyan, so she raised her hand and hit Luo Qingyan, snorted and said, "Ignore you."
Already."
Luo Qingyan burst out laughing when he saw Yun Shang looking like this.
Early the next morning, Yun Shang got up. Perhaps Luo Qingyan had given instructions early. Liu Wen'an did not accompany Luo Qingyan to the Tai Chi Palace for the morning meeting, but was waiting for Yun Shang in Weiyang Palace.
This should be regarded as the first time Yun Shang has left the palace as a queen since she entered the palace, so she cannot be careless.
The chariot painted with a phoenix pattern had stopped in front of the Weiyang Palace. There were probably hundreds of palace maids and guards in front and behind. Yun Shang sighed. If there was such a big battle when leaving the palace, it would be better not to leave the palace.
Good.
The wind outside was bitingly cold. Yun Shang gathered up her cloak and got into the carriage with the help of Qinghao and Hua'er. The carriage was covered with thick cotton wool and a tiger skin was placed on top. The carriage
There are also two small braziers placed in the middle, so it's not too cold.
Qianzui and Hua'er got into the carriage, and Liu Wen'an's low-pitched voice came from outside: "Mother, are you ready to drive?"
"Get up." Yun Shang responded softly, and the carriage began to move.
No matter how well-decorated the carriage is, the journey is boring. Fortunately, Yun Shang asked Qianzui to bring out two books before, so he took one and read it. Qianzui cooked for Yun Shang in the brazier on the carriage.
I had a pot of tea and poured a cup for Yun Shang.
After half an hour, the carriage stopped. Qianzuo and Hua'er got off the carriage first, and then Yun Shang bowed and walked out. She saw a person kneeling on the ground in front of the Duke's Mansion, "The Queen is a thousand years old.
"
Yun Shang was stunned, silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Get back on your feet."
Everyone stood up and drank briefly before helping Yun Shang get out of the carriage. The Duke's wife stood next to Duke Hua, smiled at Yun Shang and said, "Please come to the Queen's house."
Yun Shang followed Duke Hua and his wife to the flower hall. Yun Shang looked at a room full of people in the Washington Palace and was a little dumbfounded: "Grandpa and grandma, what are you doing? It's so grand, even Chang'er was shocked.
.”
Hearing this, the Duke's wife waved her hand to make everyone else retreat, and then said: "You are now a queen, and you should still have the proper etiquette."
"This makes Chang'er a little unbearable." Yun Shang smiled and asked Hua'er to settle the team that came with him in the mansion. Yun Shang turned around and looked at Duke Hua and his wife.
At one glance, the Duke's wife stood up and said, "My dear, why don't we go to the backyard to talk?"
Yun Shang nodded and entered the inner courtyard with Qian Zhui. After entering the inner courtyard, Hua Guogong looked over with some curiosity in his eyes: "You are the one who ordered someone to put it in our house early this morning.
Who is that person? I thought he was some kind of spy, but after testing him, I found that he has no martial arts skills, and he looks like just a commoner."
It was winter, and Yun Shang couldn't help but want to sweat. Hua Guogong went to test the martial arts, and she was afraid that the man would be seriously injured. In this case, if she asked anything again, she would be afraid of the man's defensiveness.
It will also be much heavier.
Yun Shang was thinking about it and responded: "There is just an old incident in the palace that I want to investigate. That person is an ordinary citizen, but he is also one of the more important clues. Because there are some inconveniences in the palace, I decided to
Put the people on my grandfather’s side.”
"Oh." Hearing Yunshang say that the man was not a martial arts master, Duke Hua suddenly lost interest. He turned around and said to Duke Guo's wife: "Please wait for her to come over and take a look. I have something else to do first.
I'm going out of the house and will be back later during lunch time."
The Duke's wife glared at Duke Hua, but Duke Hua just ignored her and turned around to leave.
"Hey, this old man..." The Duke's wife gritted her teeth, and Yun Shang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let grandpa go."
The Duke's wife brought Yun Shang to the courtyard where the Duke's wife lived. After passing through the lobby, there was a small courtyard at the back. There were low rooms around the courtyard, mostly for the servants and the kitchen.
There were several people guarding the door of one of them. The Duke's wife ordered someone to open the door and then said with a smile: "You can ask first. When you are ready, we can come out and have a meal together."
Yun Shang responded with a smile and watched the Duke's wife leave the courtyard before entering the small room.
There was a man sitting on a chair in the room, looking a little restless. The man looked to be in his fifties, with dark skin and an honest appearance.
Hearing the footsteps, the man raised his head and saw Yun Shang. A flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth wide and stayed there for a long time before lowering his head in panic.
The guard quickly moved a chair for Yun Shang to sit down. Yun Sang stared at the man for a while. Before that, he told Yun Sang some information about the man while having a drink in the carriage. Yun Sang smiled and then spoke softly.
He said, "Just now I heard my grandfather say that he misunderstood that Uncle Liu knew martial arts, so he wanted to compete with Uncle Liu, but he didn't expect that Uncle Liu didn't have martial arts. My grandfather was a martial arts fanatic, so he didn't hurt Uncle Liu."
The uncle was a little surprised, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, then quickly looked away without speaking.
Yun Shang didn't care, and raised his eyes to look at Qian Zui, "Please order someone to hire a doctor for Uncle Liu."
The uncle waved his hand impatiently: "What do you want to do? Just say whatever you want to ask. There's no need to do these tricks. I don't know anything."
Yun Shang smiled, but did not ask directly, her expression still gentle, "I heard that Uncle Liu found another wife in Qishui Village, and now he has three children?"
When Uncle Liu heard this, he suddenly raised his head, with a bit of anger in his eyes: "What did you do to them?"
Yun Shang laughed again: "Uncle Liu misunderstood, how could I do anything to them? By the way, Uncle Liu probably doesn't know who I am, right?"
Yun Shang saw a flash of doubt in Uncle Liu's eyes, and smiled and said: "My name is Ning Yunshang, and I am the queen of the dynasty. I invite Uncle Liu here today, not to harm Uncle Liu or Uncle Liu's family.
, I just have some doubts about an old incident, so I just want to know more about it. In the name of Queen Xia, I will ensure that you and your family are safe..." (To be continued)
