The winter is getting stronger, and the palace has to light up the brazier. It is rare to snow in the winter in Xia Kingdom, but it is also bitingly cold. Yun Shang doesn't like such cold and wet, and for some reason, since the beginning of winter, she has been
The pain was severe when I drank sunflower water.
Yun Shang lay on the soft couch with a pale face, surrounded by three braziers. Qinyi opened the curtain and brought in a food box from the outside, took a bowl from the food box and handed it to Yun Shang:
"Mom, this is freshly brewed brown sugar water. I heard that if you feel pain when the sunflower water comes, drinking this is especially useful."
Yun Shang, however, had no energy to nod, so she stretched out her hand to take it, and happily drank a large portion of the bowl of brown sugar water before sighing and speaking: "You didn't have this problem before, why are you like this all of a sudden?"
Qin Yi thought for a while and then said: "Could it be caused by the cold air in the ice cellar when giving birth to the little prince?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang sighed again and wailed, "Wouldn't it mean that this illness will stay with me for the rest of my life?"
Qian Zui said to the side: "I have heard that if the problem occurs during childbirth or confinement, you can take good care of it when you give birth to a child next time, and you will be fine."
Yun Shang drank the remaining half of the bowl, then turned around and glared at Qian Zui: "You think giving birth is that easy. I suffered a lot when I gave birth to my baby."
Qian Zhui stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "That's better than having this pain all your life, isn't it? Ever since I followed you, I have never seen your queen so weak."
Yun Shang leaned on the soft couch, lazily not wanting to speak.
Suddenly, an extremely inconspicuous sound came from outside. This sound made Yun Shang and Qin Yi couldn't help but prick up their ears. Yun Shang raised his eyes and glanced at Qian Zui before turning his head to Qin Yi.
Said: "There is no one else in the palace who can ask. Qinyi, you go to Taihe Palace to ask for advice from the Queen Mother. Ask Shen Ke to bring some Ningguo pastries from the small kitchen that were prepared at noon.
, the Queen Mother should like it."
As soon as Qin Yi heard that Yun Shang asked her to take Shen Ke with her, she knew that Yun Shang might have something to deal with, so she agreed and exited the inner hall, and then Qin Yi's voice came in from outside the hall:
"Shen Ke, go to the small kitchen to pick up some pastries that the cook will make for the Queen this afternoon, and come with me to the Palace of Supreme Harmony."
Shen Ke responded in a low voice, and then Yun Shang heard footsteps walking farther and farther away.
"Queen?" Qian Zui glanced at Yun Shang, with a bit of questioning in her eyes.
Yun Shang waved her hand, "Don't worry, you go out and have a look, watch Qin Yi and the others leave Weiyang Palace and then come back in."
Qianzui agreed in a low voice and walked out of the inner hall. After a while, Qianzui walked in, Yun Shang nodded, Qianzui quickly walked to the window and pushed it open. The cold wind outside suddenly
After pouring it in, Yun Shang couldn't help but frown, and felt that her stomach started to hurt again.
A small paper ball flew in from the window and landed on the ground next to Yun Shang. Yun Shang stared at the paper ball for a long time, then raised his eyes and ordered Qian Zui to pick it up.
Yun Shang unfolded the ball of paper and quickly scanned the words written on it. However, his brows furrowed tightly again and he suddenly sat up: "Go, let the secret guard who sent the message think of something."
Bring it in, I have something important to ask."
Qianzuo hurriedly agreed and hurriedly retreated. After a while, a man dressed as a chamberlain came in. When the man dressed as a chamberlain saw Yun Shang, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Master."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, with a bit of anxiety in his eyes: "What you said on the paper said that there were two Liu Jins in Yangliu Town. What's going on?"
The secret guard responded quickly: "My subordinates went to Yangliu Town for a visit. They all said that there was originally only one Liu Jin in Yangliu Town, who was a butcher, but later another Liu Jin was moved here, and he was a teacher."
Yun Shang bit her lip. She suddenly remembered something. When the Duke's wife mentioned Mrs. Liu earlier, she said that Liu Jin was just a butcher. She also said that Mrs. Liu was a butcher's wife and had a very bad character.
Spicy. But Luo Qingyan said some time ago that Liu Jin is just a teacher, and even ten Liu Jins cannot teach one Liu Yinfeng.
What's so strange about this?
"Which Liu Jin's daughter is Concubine Liu?" Yun Shang raised her head and looked at the secret guard and asked softly.
"She is the daughter of the teacher Liu Jin. Less than two years after the teacher moved to Yangliu Town, his daughter was suddenly selected as a concubine, and then the family moved to Jincheng. After the teacher moved away, the butcher Liu
Jin also moved away." The secret guard replied.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Qian Zui: "I ordered someone to find out what Liu Jin was doing when Concubine Liu entered the palace."
Qianzuo responded quickly, and Yun Shang turned around and looked at the secret guard again, asking hurriedly: "Liu Jin adopted an orphan as his adopted son, does anyone in the town know what's going on?"
The secret guard thought for a while and then said: "As for the adopted son, the old people in the town said that Liu Jin did not have an adopted son, but there was a little boy staying at home, who was about six or seven years old. The little boy looked like
A child from a wealthy family is accompanied by slaves, and Liu Jin's family respects the little boy very much. Someone once heard Liu Jin calling the little boy master."
Yun Shang's hand suddenly grasped the soft edge, master? Is that little boy Liu Yinfeng? If he is Liu Yinfeng, why did Liu Jin call him master?
Yun Shang's eyes were full of doubts, and she asked again: "Does anyone know the name of that little boy?"
The secret guard nodded, "Some people say that they once heard the teacher's daughter call him Yin Feng."
Yinfeng, Liu Yinfeng. Yun Shang squinted her eyes, but her mind quickly started to spin. If it wasn't as Luo Qingyan guessed, Liu Yinfeng's identity was not simply Liu Jin's adopted son. Maybe, Liu Yinfeng was Liu Jin's adopted son.
The Jin family was promoted so quickly not because of Concubine Liu, but because of Liu Yinfeng.
But, who is Liu Yinfeng?
Yun Shang bit her lip, and after a while she asked again: "Is there any other news? Do you know where the butcher Liu Jin has moved?"
"My subordinates asked around, but no one knew."
There was a hint of chill in Yun Shang's eyes, and she said loudly: "Check, check immediately. People are nostalgic for places where they have lived for a long time and are very familiar with them. You order people to check several towns near Yangliu Town.
Find out where the butcher's wife is from, and search carefully in his wife's natal family. The focus of the search is on the meat stall. It is not easy for ordinary people to have a skill, and all they think about is that they have to rely on that skill to make a living for a lifetime.
If that butcher is still alive, he is probably still a butcher."
The secret guard responded quickly, and when he saw that Yun Shang did not give any other instructions, he quickly bowed and retreated.
Yun Shang squinted her eyes, full of confusion. If Liu Yinfeng's status was extraordinary, and he could be treated so kindly by Xia Huanyu, he must have a high background.
Yun Shang frowned, her stomach hurt again, but she kept thinking about the secret guard's words over and over in her mind, and she sorted things out secretly.
According to the current information, Liu Jin moved to Yangliu Town shortly after Xia Huanyu ascended the throne. Two years later, after Queen Hua disappeared, Xia Huanyu connected Liu Feixue to the palace.
She was also made Liu Concubine, and then Liu Jin's family took Liu Yinfeng to Jincheng and settled in Jincheng. At that time, Liu Yinfeng was already Liu Jin's adopted son.
Yun Shang's hand tightened suddenly. The timing was so coincidental. Could it be that Liu Yinfeng was Xia Huanyu's child?
If Liu Yinfeng is Xia Huanyu's child, then when Liu Yinfeng was born, Xia Huanyu was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was still an idle prince. But since he is a prince, he usually starts eating meat and having sex at the age of fifteen.
It's a girl. Although Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling are childhood sweethearts, no one has ever mentioned whether Xia Huanyu once had an intercourse. Generally speaking, princes cannot have children by intercourse before the main wife has entered the house. However,
, it cannot be completely ruled out that one of the first-in-law secretly became pregnant and gave birth to the child.
Naturally, Xia Huanyu couldn't let himself leave any clues, so he quietly sent Liu Yinfeng away. Liu Jin was probably just a bodyguard sent by Xia Huanyu to protect Liu Yinfeng, and then married Hua Ling. After Hua Ling disappeared, Xia Huanyu
Then he thought about bringing Liu Yinfeng to his side, so he named Liu Feixue as Concubine Liu, in order to give Liu Yinfeng a chance to return to him?
Yun Shang would think this, but it is not entirely unreasonable. Judging from Xia Huanyu's attitude towards Liu Yinfeng, it can be regarded as extremely important. Liu Yinfeng is talented, so Xia Huanyu can cherish his talent and recruit Liu Yinfeng.
That was when he entered the court. But Liu Yinfeng did not enter the court as an official, just because he didn't like it.
Even though he is not an official, almost everyone in the court respects Liu Yinfeng as a son. What kind of noble treatment is this? Xia Huanyu will also let Liu Yinfeng intervene in the affairs of the court, and there are many difficult ones.
Things that are convenient for outsiders to deal with are always left to Liu Yinfeng.
This situation once made Yun Shang very confused as to why Xia Huanyu liked Liu Yinfeng so much. If Liu Yinfeng was Xia Huanyu's son, everything would be explained.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. If this is true, then the existence of Liu Yinfeng is a threat to Luo Qingyan. Even if the truth is like this, then the alliance between Liu Yinfeng and Luo Qingyan may be a threat.
My thoughts are not simple either.
The more Yun Shang thought about it, the more she felt a chill in her whole body. She bit her lip and said, "Cha, we must find out this matter at all costs."
Qianzui quickly agreed and retreated.
Liu Yinfeng, Liu Jin, Xia Houjing. Everything seemed more and more confusing, as if it was covered with a layer of veil. Yun Shang could vaguely see shadows moving inside through that layer of veil, but she had no idea what was inside.
