Yun Shang nodded slightly, but felt a little uneasy in her heart. She couldn't figure out what could make Cao Shanxiu so confident.
"It's been a while since Liu Yinfeng left Jincheng, right? No news has come back yet?" Yun Shang frowned. Xia Houjing hadn't been removed for a day, so she couldn't feel relieved, even though she knew that Liu Yinfeng
They will not attack Xia Houjing, but they also hope that Liu Yinfeng can send a message back so that they can know what the situation is like in Yangliu Town.
The people around Xia Huanyu should not be underestimated. She sent so many secret guards, but in the end she could not get any information.
Luo Qingyan nodded and said softly: "It's okay, don't worry, the matter has not yet reached the point where it is unmanageable. Let's not mess up our own situation and let someone with good intentions take advantage of it."
Yun Shang said softly, "Hmm", but she still looked thoughtful.
The next day, Luo Qingyan went to court. He left the palace early in the morning and hurried back to the palace in the afternoon, holding a small box in his hand.
Yun Shang had been restless these past two days and was practicing calligraphy behind the desk. Hearing Qian Zui's footsteps, he raised his head and his eyes fell on the small box in Qian Zui's hand: "Is it ready?"
Qian Zui nodded and responded softly: "It's exactly what the fifteenth princess found. Even if it were presented to Concubine Cao, she would definitely not be able to tell the difference."
Yun Shang nodded, put down the brush in his hand, and said in a very soft voice: "Okay, let's find a secret guard who is good at looking like people's voices, and let her learn the voice of the fifteenth princess."
Qian Zui quickly agreed, and Yun Shang's eyes fell on the small box in her hand again. After a while, she said: "Have someone go get some ice from the ice cellar and freeze the contents of the box. Don't let the stuff be exposed by then."
Son. I'm afraid Cao Shanxiu is much smarter than we thought. We caught her yesterday just because she wasn't prepared. Today, we may have to return without success. If Cao Shanxiu is like this
If we treat each other so well, the Supreme Emperor will not suffer the loss of being mute for so many years. You don't have to say anything, just take the thing and cook it in front of Cao Shanxiu and put it in front of her. There is no need to prepare other meals.
"
"Yes." Qianzui quickly saluted and retreated.
In the evening, everything was ready. Yun Shang first asked the secret guard to learn the voice of the fifteenth princess, and then screamed several times not far from the side hall where Cao Shanxiu was imprisoned. The sound was full of pain, but
He kept crying: "Hand, my hand! Don't..."
After about an hour, Yun Shangfang ordered Qianliu and Qianzui to take the small box into the side hall.
It didn't take long for Qian Liu and Qian Zui to return to the inner hall. Both of them looked a little bad. They saluted Yun Shang, and Qian Liu said: "As expected, Cao Shanxiu is really not a human being.
, in this situation, she saw that we had boiled the palm, but she just looked at it with a smile. The slave told her that was her dinner tonight, but she actually took the chopsticks without changing her expression.
He took a bite in front of us."
Qianliu and Qianzui said, their faces looking pale.
Even Yun Shang couldn't help but clenched her hand secretly. After a while, she bit her lip and said: "We still underestimated her after all. It doesn't matter. We will continue tomorrow. I don't believe it. She is not worried at all."
Fifth Princess."
Qianliu and Qianzui responded quickly.
For several days, Cao Shanxiu seemed to have a heart of stone. She would eat whatever Yunshang gave her, and she would not refuse anyone who came. Looking at her appearance, she seemed as at home in her own palace.
Six days later, the scholar Cao Shan sent a message through Qianliu, but with the intention of demonstrating: "Let the Queen no longer have to worry about it. Why does the Queen have to raise the fifteenth princess under the Queen's knees for so many years?"
What? It was because the Supreme Emperor wanted to threaten the fifteenth princess that I gave birth to the fifteenth princess. I had never had any undue thoughts towards the Supreme Emperor, and I was not happy with this daughter. I once wanted to do it with my own hands.
After killing her, the Emperor knew about it, so he ordered her to be sent to the Queen for upbringing. Although I don't have such a strong hatred now, it is impossible for the Queen to threaten me with the threat of the fifteenth princess.
"
When Yun Shang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart. Cao Shanxiu seemed to have no weaknesses, which made her completely unable to make a move.
The secret guard stopped the cloth merchant who had been in contact with the fifteenth princess, and found a letter from the cloth merchant, but it only contained Yun Shang's private seal without a single word.
Yun Shang curled her lips coldly, but it was true as Cao Shanxiu said, this was her plan to hide from the sky and attack the west. What Cao Shanxiu really wanted to send to Yangliu Town was probably about to arrive. Yun Shang closed her eyes,
I rubbed the rim of the cup in my hand, hoping that the hidden guards and hidden stakes in Yangliu Town could stop the thing.
"Your Majesty, the carriage of Emperor Ning Guo and the Imperial Concubine is not far from Jincheng. It is estimated that they will be able to enter the city at noon tomorrow." Qin Yi reported softly.
Yun Shang nodded lightly. The news that her father, emperor, mother and concubine were coming soon made her depressed mood finally feel better. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yi, and said with a smile: "Has your majesty ordered the post house to be tidied up?"
come out?"
Qin Yi nodded: "It has been packed up, and His Majesty ordered the Minister of Rites to take care of the post house carefully. Everything that should be prepared has been prepared one by one. I have gone to see it twice and everything is in place.
, Your Majesty has good intentions for your empress, but your servants have not played much of a role."
Yun Shang lowered his eyes and smiled, and ordered Qian Zui and Qian Liu: "Take Cao Shanxiu and her daughter to a private prison, lest the mother and concubine and the father come to see them, and Tusheng is worried."
Qianzui and Qianliu responded, Yun Shangfang sighed, stretched out his hand to rub his temples, his eyes full of fatigue.
The next day, Luo Qingyan went to the morning court as usual, but as soon as Yun Shang got up and had breakfast, Luo Qingyan returned to Weiyang Palace and said with a smile: "You must wear thicker clothes today, otherwise,
Brother Huang and Concubine Jin may think that I have treated Chang'er poorly."
Seeing that Luo Qingyan seemed to be in a good mood, Yun Shang also laughed, glared at Luo Qingyan, and murmured softly: "That won't work, I'll just wear common clothes and let my father scold you.
Although you are now the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, don’t forget that you are also the Prince Jing of the Xia Kingdom, your father’s adopted brother, your father’s son-in-law, and my princess’s consort.”
The more Yun Shang talked, the more she couldn't help but become happy: "In our country of Ning, the princess wants to invite the consort to sleep with her. She has to hang a lantern outside the palace door so that the consort can enter the house. Go, I don't have any hangings.
Lantern, who allowed you to come?"
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, arched his hands towards Yun Shang seriously, lowered his eyebrows and said politely: "Your Highness, Princess, since you said so, I will ask the palace servants to hang up five, six, seven or eight lanterns.
Come to the door."
Hearing this, Yun Shang's face turned red, and she raised her foot and kicked Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan burst out laughing, and the gloomy atmosphere of the past two days was swept away.
Yun Shang asked Qian Liu to find a long red dress from the cage. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with a pattern of phoenix spreading its wings. Qian Zuo gave Yun Shang a flying bun and two phoenix beaded steps.
, and wore a peony hairpin on her temples.
Yun Shang laughed and turned to look at Luo Qingyan: "Your Majesty, do you think I am quite graceful and luxurious? In this way, my father, the emperor, mother and concubine should not feel that your majesty has treated me poorly, right?"
Luo Qingyan's eyes flashed with fire, and he stared at Yun Shang for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Well, it's true that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes. When this little girl dresses up, there are some
It shows the noble appearance of the queen."
The two of them quarreled in the palace for a while, then they took Bao'er out of Weiyang Palace and got on the carriage, heading towards the city gate.
Yun Shang took Bao'er from Qinyi's arms and said with a smile: "Bao'er, we are going to see your grandfather and grandmother. Are you happy?"
Bao'er stepped on Yun Shang's pusher and reached out to grab the Bu Yao on Yun Shang's head. Luo Qingyan quickly reached out and pulled Bao'er's hand off and said with a smile: "Chengye, if you push your mother's Bu Yao
If you take it off, your mother will definitely punish you by kneeling at the gate of Weiyang Palace, but don't be naughty."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan: "How could you threaten a child like this?"
However, Bao'er broke away from Luo Qingyan's hand and laughed. However, he grabbed Luo Qingyan's hand and bit it down. Bao'er had already grown several teeth. Luo Qingyan
Although he didn't feel any pain, he still showed his teeth and begged for mercy in an extremely cooperative manner.
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan, who was laughing with Bao'er, and her smile became a little deeper.
Luo Qingyan took his hand out of Bao'er's mouth, stretched it out in front of Yun Shang and said: "This kid doesn't care that I am his father. He just bites me when he opens his mouth. Look, he didn't bite me just now."
Don't bother, I'm almost using all my strength, these teeth marks are not shallow."
Yun Shang glanced at it lightly, and there were indeed a few tooth marks. Yun Shang looked at Bao'er who was smiling happily, and said softly: "Come on, Bao'er, who doesn't even have all his teeth, how painful can it be?"
Ah, I was also afraid that your hard flesh would knock out our baby’s teeth.”
Luo Qingyan opened her mouth, but for a long time, she just sighed sadly: "I only see new people smiling, but how about hearing old people cry?"
While they were joking, the carriage arrived at the gate of Jincheng. Because of Emperor Ning's extraordinary status, the gate had already been cleared. Now only a few ministers were waiting at the gate, and no ordinary people were seen.
Seeing Luo Qingyan and their carriage stopped, the courtiers walked to the carriage, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Queen."
Luo Qingyan did not open the carriage door, but asked calmly: "How is the situation? Has Emperor Ning arrived?"
Yun Shang listened carefully and heard a reply from outside: "We'll be there in about two-quarters of an hour."
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, turned around and said to Yun Shang: "The weather is getting colder now. It will be a bit cold due to the wind outside. Let's wait in the carriage for a while." (To be continued)
