"Huh?" Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Ning Qian, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, "What does it mean to have some eyebrows?"
Ning Qian pondered for a moment before saying: "Because Liu Yinfeng's soldiers are almost all young and strong men recruited directly from Liu Cang, Siyang, and Nanyang, our people have no way to really penetrate into their camps for the time being.
We went to investigate. However, my subordinates ordered people to sneak into the brothels in these three places and were able to enter the military camp a few times. However, the times were not many and the stay was not long, so they got very little information.
"
"Tell me about it." Yun Shang responded softly.
"Four messages came from there: First, there are not many people in the camp near Liucang City, less than 100,000. My subordinates suspect that some of his soldiers have been relocated to other places, but they have not found that place yet.
Where is it? Secondly, Xiahou Jing robbed the batch of supplies we sent over. However, there has been a shortage of food and grass in the camp recently, but Xiahou Jing would rather let the soldiers starve than send the supplies to the camp. I am afraid he already knows that there are some
There is a problem. The third is that there is a military advisor beside Xia Houjing. He can speak Xia dialect, but his accent does not sound like a Xia native. The last point is that Mr. Liu is not imprisoned in the camp." Ning Qian reported one by one.
Yun Shang nodded slightly, but there was some doubt in his eyes: "Has Zheng Qiming been contacted? He may have found out where the batch of supplies was sent?"
Ning Qian shook her head and said, "We found Doctor Zheng, but he didn't know where the supplies were. He said that someone might have used stronger spices to cover up the smell, so Doctor Zheng
The specially raised butterfly's sense of smell was disturbed, so it was unable to find its location accurately. Moreover, the weather has become increasingly cold recently, and the butterfly cannot fly too far."
Yun Shang frowned: "It's not even good news."
Neither Ning Qian nor Qian Yin spoke. Yun Shang was silent for a moment before saying, "Please continue to keep an eye on me. If there is any news, report it in a timely manner. I will seize the time to train a group of eagles to deliver the message."
Ning Qian agreed and then retreated with Qianyin.
Yun Shang frowned and stood in the yard for a long time. Xia Houjing would rather let the soldiers starve than send the food and grass to the soldiers, so he must have known that there was something wrong.
But the people who knew there was something wrong were the people closest to her, except Liu Yinfeng and Zheng Qiming. No one around her had left Jincheng recently, so the only possibility was Liu Yinfeng or Zheng Qiming.
The news was revealed to Xia Houjing.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. Could it be that Liu Yinfeng really betrayed them?
But Luo Qingyan said before that although Liu Yinfeng might have something to hide from them, he should not have betrayed him. He said that his people found out that Liu Yinfeng and Xia Houjing had a big quarrel before, and hoped that Xia Houjing would give up the rebellion.
However, Xia Houjing locked him up.
But, if not Liu Yinfeng, who would it be?
Yun Shang sighed softly, her eyes full of confusion.
When Yun Shang returned to the house, Hua Guogong had already returned. When he saw Yun Shang, he shouted: "Let's go, let's fight on the sand table with me."
"Whatever you want to kill, you will have dinner soon, so you are not allowed to go." Hearing this, the Duke's wife snorted coldly and spoke.
Duke Hua snorted, but did not reply. He walked to the chair and sat down. The maid served the tea. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Then he snorted and said, "It's so cold.
Do you want me to have diarrhea?"
The maid hurriedly apologized and hurriedly poured another cup. This time, Duke Hua only touched the rim of the cup and already shouted: "Is it going to burn me to death if it's so hot?"
When the Duke's wife heard this, her eyebrows almost stood up. She knocked on the ground with her cane and said, "Luyi, don't pour it for him. If you want to drink it, pour it yourself. Whether it's cold or hot, drink it yourself."
Just wait for yourself and see if you have anything else to say."
When Duke Hua heard this, he snorted and turned aside. He didn't look at the Duke's wife and complained to himself: "You know why I don't like being in the Duke's Mansion? I am bored all day long and have to suffer."
"Although it was a complaint, Hua Guogong's voice was not quiet at all, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
However, the Duke's wife made up her mind not to follow him, and snorted coldly: "You can go wherever you like? No one will stop you."
Yun Shang looked at the old couple and they looked more and more like a pair of happy enemies. After watching the two of them quarreling back and forth for a few rounds, she smiled and walked aside to pick up the teapot and try it with her hands.
After testing the heat and cold, he poured a cup of tea and brought it to Duke Hua. He persuaded with a smile: "Grandpa and grandma, please stop arguing. Grandpa, let's have a taste. Is the cup of tea that Shang'er poured for grandpa suitable?"
Duke Hua picked it up, took a sip, curled his lips, and said calmly: "It's not bad."
"Hey, you old rude person, Chang'er is the Queen Empress now, how can you ask the Queen to pour you tea? Fortunately, the children at home have invited their husbands to teach me. If I had to follow you all the time, I would really have to do it.
I'm worried, my good great-grandson has been ruined by your teachings." The Duke's wife frowned and scolded her face again.
Duke Hua just curled his lips, as if he was too lazy to pay attention.
Upon seeing this, the Duke's wife moved her eyes angrily and said to the nanny beside her: "Nama, please order someone to prepare lunch."
Mammy responded quickly and quickly walked out of the hall. Only then did the Duke's wife wave to Yun Chang and said: "Come on, Chang'er, sit with grandma."
Yun Shang responded with a smile, then walked to sit down next to the Duke's wife.
After lunch, Yun Shang recruited secret guards to handle some matters, and then wanted to return to the palace. Yun Shang ordered someone to bring Uncle Liu out. Uncle Liu walked out and looked at the scenery of the courtyard.
, then spoke again: "Who is that? Queen, I regret it. I don't want to enter the palace anymore. You can have someone buy me a courtyard and find some servants to wait on me. I don't want to enter the palace anymore."
"
Hearing this, Yun Shang paused slightly before smiling and saying, "That's fine."
Then he called two guards to give orders. After taking a look at Uncle Liu, he walked out of the yard. Mrs. Guogong accompanied Yun Shang to the door of the mansion, with a look of reluctance: "I don't know what you will do next time.
When will we come to the Duke's Mansion again?"
Yun Chang smiled and said: "There will be a chance. If grandma misses Chang'er, or misses Your Majesty, or misses the Queen Mother and Bao'er, she can enter the palace at any time."
The Duke's wife responded and remained silent for a long time before saying: "The palace is no different than other places, so be careful with everything."
Yun Shang agreed one by one before setting foot on the chariot. Because he wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible to tell Luo Qingyan about Xia Houjing's life experience, Yun Chang ordered the chariot to be faster and entered in less than half an hour.
palace.
After entering the palace, Yun Shang stopped at the foot of the long steps in front of the Tai Chi Palace and asked the others to go back to Weiyang Palace first. She only took a small drink and climbed up the steps to the front of the Tai Chi Palace.
.
Liu Wen'an was standing in front of the Tai Chi Hall. When he saw Yun Shang approaching, he hurriedly greeted her, "I have met the Queen, but the Queen wants to see Your Majesty?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly, thought for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What did your Majesty eat for lunch?"
"It's not useful yet." Liu Wen'an responded in a low voice. Seeing Yun Shang's eyes looking over with a bit of surprise, he quickly added: "My servant had prepared lunch earlier, but Your Majesty is preparing to use it."
During the meal, some officials came to see me, so I was delayed. Later, Your Majesty had to deal with some affairs, but I couldn't take care of them."
Yun Shang frowned, her eyes clearly stained with displeasure: "No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat. If your body is exhausted, it's not worth the loss. You go and bring the food up, and I'll talk to His Majesty."
Liu Wen'an glanced at the half-opened palace door, and quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, he hurriedly retreated.
Yun Shang opened the door of the palace and walked in. Luo Qingyan was afraid that she would think it was Liu Wen'an, so she waved her hand and said: "It will be ready soon. You go and prepare the meal first. I will eat after I have dealt with these few things."
"
When Yun Shang heard this, she curled her lips, walked to the royal table, and took the memorial from Luo Qingyan's hand. Luo Qingyan frowned: "Hey..." He raised his head after speaking.
stand up.
When he saw that the person coming was Yun Chang, his expression immediately changed and he laughed quickly: "Shang'er has returned to the palace? Did you have fun?"
Yun Shang frowned and wanted to say something to him, but remembered that she had managed to push Liu Wen'an away, so she had to seize the opportunity and opened her mouth, but she was still a little worried and said: "I have something to say.
"
After saying that, he lifted up his skirt, walked to Luo Qingyan, leaned down, and whispered in his ear the details about Xia Houjing's life experience that he had found out today.
Luo Qingyan's face was also full of shock. Hearing this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Yun Shang, with a bit of excitement in his eyes: "Is this serious?"
"It's absolutely true. I spent a lot of effort to get this information. It's absolutely unmistakable. And I feel that the Supreme Emperor must not know about this matter. Otherwise, the Supreme Emperor would not be able to pamper the Seventh Prince like this. Your Majesty
Look, are we going to talk to the Supreme Emperor?" Yun Shang, the waiter who knew about this before, was not only surprised but also a little excited. Now he understands Luo Qingyan's thoughts.
Luo Qingyan calmed down after hearing Yunshang's question. After being silent for a long time, he softly responded: "No, there is no rush to tell the Emperor about this matter. What we have in hand now is just a witness."
, and the witness only listened to what his wife said and did not actually participate in the events of that year. It would be difficult to deny Xiahou Jing's identity as a prince based on his one-sided words."
"But what that person said must be true." Yun Shang was a little stunned.
Luo Qingyan reached out to hold Yun Shang's hand and responded softly: "Yes, what he said is true, but now is not the time to reveal this matter. Let's wait until there is more evidence." (To be completed.)
