Liu Yinfeng's face was a little pale. Yun Shang seemed to have come back to his senses after he finished speaking for a long time. He nodded and said, "I've been there just now." After saying that, he fell silent again, keeping his hands on his knees.
I grabbed and put on my clothes, and I couldn't hide my anxiety.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Qingyan, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Prince Xian, let's have a cup of tea with His Majesty in Weiyang Palace first. I will go to Taihe Palace to see the Supreme Emperor."
But it’s time to rest. Emperor Ning wanted to visit the Supreme Emperor yesterday, but he was too tired on the road and couldn’t see him. If the Supreme Emperor is free today, I will have Emperor Ning invited to the palace."
Liu Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, stood up and saluted Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled and left Weiyang Palace with Qian Liu and Qian Zui.
After going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xia Huanyu still didn't look good when he saw Yun Shang. Yun Shang just pretended not to notice and saluted Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling with a smile.
Seeing Xia Huanyu's expression, Hua Ling pulled Yun Shang to sit next to him and said first: "Shang'er, can we have dinner?"
"I just used it." Yun Shang said with a smile: "Yesterday, Emperor Ning wanted to come to see my father, but my father was tired from the journey, but I don't know if he will have free time today?"
Xia Huanyu held a book in his hand, but when he heard Yun Shang's words, he just ignored them and didn't even raise his eyelids. Yun Shang didn't care much, and just said softly: "If the father is free, my daughter-in-law will give in."
Go and invite the person into the palace."
Xia Huanyu still didn't speak, but Hua Ling smiled, caressed Yun Shang's hand, and raised her voice slightly: "When I was in Ning Kingdom, I was able to survive until now thanks to Emperor Ning's care.
We are married by marriage, but Emperor Ning is also the king of a country, and Ning and Xia are friendly states. When Emperor Ning comes to visit, he should be treated with state courtesy. Chang'er, please ask someone to invite him. When he arrives at the palace gate
Send someone to report and I will personally greet you."
The corners of Xia Huanyu's mouth twitched slightly and he snorted, but did not refute.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled. Now it seems that only Hua Ling can cure this cold-tempered and thoughtful emperor. Yun Shang turned his head and winked at Qian Zui.
Then he retreated.
Hua Ling and Yun Shang talked for a while, but Xia Huanyu didn't say a word from beginning to end. Yun Shang thought of what Luo Qingyan said last night, and the corner of her eye kept glancing at Xia Huanyu, and her thoughts kept turning.
.
The inn where Emperor Ning lived was not too far from the palace, and it was not slow to enter the palace. He went straight to the Palace of Supreme Harmony. Yun Shang saw that Emperor Ning's face was a little cold, and she secretly drummed in her heart. I'm afraid that yesterday
After her mother and concubine left, she told her father about what happened in the Taihe Palace. Now in his heart, his father probably has no good impression of Xia Huanyu.
Yun Shang suddenly felt a trace of regret. She felt that inviting Emperor Ning into the palace to meet Xia Huanyu was not necessarily a good thing. But Liu Yinfeng entered the palace just to see Cao Wen.
Regardless of whether Xia Huanyu is an enemy or a friend, this is not the time to let Xia Huanyu know where Cao Wenxi is.
As a queen, it was inappropriate for her to stay with Liu Yinfeng. Luo Qingyan could only take Liu Yinfeng to see Cao Wenxi. Before they went to bed yesterday, Luo Qingyan had said that today she would bring Liu Yinfeng with her.
After Liu Yinfeng went to see Cao Wenxi, she would look for an opportunity to have a frank and open talk with Xia Huanyu. And she should naturally help drag Xia Huanyu to Luo Qingyan.
The only way she could think of to hold Xia Huanyu back was this.
Hua Ling was afraid that she also noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere, so she smiled and saluted Emperor Ning and said, "Your Majesty, it's been a long time no see, but how are you?"
Emperor Ning turned his head to look at Hua Ling, his eyes paused for a moment, and Yun Shang secretly screamed in her heart that it was bad. Sure enough, the next moment she saw Emperor Ning suddenly smiled and said to Hua Ling: "Mrs. Zhao,
Long time no see, are you still strong?"
The word "Zhao" was probably a thorn in Xia Huanyu's heart. As soon as the word came out, Yun Shang saw Xia Huanyu's expression suddenly change. Hua Ling just smiled lightly and said loudly: "No illness, no pain."
Yes, everything is fine."
"That's good. I heard that you arrived in Xia Kingdom, and I was a little worried that Xia Kingdom is a little more humid than Ning Kingdom, and you might not be used to it. Seeing that everything is fine with you, I feel relieved." Emperor Ning said with a smile.
Xia Huanyu frowned, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Didn't Emperor Ning come to the palace to see me?"
When Emperor Ning heard this, he sneered without hesitation and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are too arrogant. I dare not see it. The daughter I hold in my hand has suffered so many grievances when she came to the Xia Kingdom. Although the Supreme Emperor is
His elder, if she does something wrong, it's okay to give her a scolding or two, but if you deliberately find fault with her, you won't be lenient."
"Father..." Yun Shang saw that Xia Huanyu looked a little unhappy, so she quickly spoke softly to persuade him.
"When elders are talking, don't interrupt." Emperor Ning said calmly, and then looked at Xia Huanyu: "When the Queen Mother was in Ningguo, I never treated her orphans and widowers poorly. Luo Qingyan was originally just a street person.
Beggar, if the late emperor hadn't adopted him as his adopted son, I'm afraid you wouldn't have had the chance to see him again. He is also revered as the God of War in Ning State and is highly respected. I will also marry my favorite daughter to him.
Your wife and son have not been harmed in Ningguo. I don’t ask you to repay your kindness, but I don’t allow you to do any harm to my daughter."
Xia Huanyu took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, but never spoke.
Yun Shang observed his expression carefully, holding the jade flute in her sleeve tightly.
"You used to be the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, and controlled the life and death of everyone in the Xia Kingdom. But now, you are no longer the emperor. There are some things that you shouldn't worry about, so you don't have to worry about it. If your Xia Kingdom can't tolerate me,
Princess, I will bring her back to the Ning Kingdom. Don’t think that my Chang’er will not be able to survive without the Xia Kingdom. My Chang’er is the smartest woman in the world. If she returns to the Ning Kingdom, I will
You can give her the supreme position of Ningguo." Emperor Ning became more and more excited as he spoke.
Yun Shang was indeed shocked and said quickly: "Father."
Ning Difang stopped, but there was a bit of brightness in his eyes.
Xia Huanyu still didn't speak. Emperor Ning turned around and left the Taihe Palace again. Yun Shang secretly counted the time with her fingers in her sleeves, and then hurriedly chased him out.
Before Emperor Ning had gone far, Yun Shang quickly caught up with him: "Father, please don't talk nonsense about giving me the supreme position of Ning Kingdom in the future."
Emperor Ning turned his head, looked at Yun Shang intently, and pondered for a while before saying: "Before today, I really had never had such an idea..."
Yun Chang didn't wait for Emperor Ning to finish speaking, and quickly cut off the words: "There will be no need for this after today. When Chang'er left Ning State before, his father gave his daughter an edict. The edict clearly stated
Look, the future emperor of Ning Kingdom will definitely belong to Chenxi."
"I know you have never had such an idea. However, I suddenly thought that I do not have to pass on the supreme position to you. However, if I make you the crown princess, it will definitely not be allowed in this Xia Kingdom.
Someone will dare to bully you again." Emperor Ning said with a serious look on his face, "Don't be too busy to overrule me. Although this idea came to me suddenly, it has been carefully considered. Chen Xi can still be the emperor of Ning in the future. He
You are still young now, and I am afraid it will take some years before you succeed to the throne. Luo Qingyan has just ascended the throne. These first few years will be the most difficult time for you. As long as you survive these few years, with your ability, you will definitely be able to do it.
It is so deeply rooted in Xia Kingdom that no one dares to touch you at all."
Yun Shang laughed, "Father, please stop joking. How can a prince of a country marry the daughter of another country? Father, please don't worry about your daughter. Your daughter is fine. Everything is fine. Father, you must believe in your daughter. No,
In three years, I will be able to make it impossible for anyone to touch me."
Emperor Ning raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang and pondered for a moment, but did not speak.
Yun Shang smiled, changed the subject of the conversation, and asked softly: "Concubine Mother and Chen Xi are at the inn? Chen Xi is the one who can't stay put. Why don't your father go back earlier and take Chen Xi out to play?"
Emperor Ning nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back first. Don't let me come to see Xia Huanyu again. I've been very angry when I saw him recently."
Emperor Ning paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Didn't the ghost doctor return to Xia Kingdom? Did you ask him to take a look at his body?"
Yun Shang gently nodded and said with a smile: "My physical condition is not convenient for outsiders to explain, and letting the ghost doctor enter the palace from time to time would easily arouse suspicion, so I used other methods to keep him here. He gave me a prescription
I have been using these prescriptions to take care of my body."
"That's good." Emperor Ning sighed softly and walked towards the entrance of the palace. Yun Shang ordered Qian Zhui to send him off, and he walked slowly towards Weiyang Palace with Qian Liu.
Returning to Weiyang Palace, Liu Yinfeng was nowhere to be seen, only Luo Qingyan was seen sitting behind the desk drinking tea.
Yun Shang looked around and then said, "Where is Liu Yinfeng?"
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and smiled: "I have left the palace."
Yun Shang frowned, a little confused: "So fast? Didn't you say that after Liu Yinfeng left, you went to Taihe Palace to talk to Xia Huanyu? Why didn't you go there?"
The smile in Luo Qingyan's eyes grew stronger. I heard that your father and the Emperor were quarreling. I thought that if I go now, I am afraid that it will add fuel to the fire. It will be useless to say anything, so I did not go over. But I heard that you
My father was so angry that he even said that he would give you the throne of Ning Kingdom.
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan and muttered: "You also know that you are angry, how can you take it seriously? What did Liu Yinfeng say to Cao Wenxi, and how is Cao Wenxi now?"
Luo Qingyan squinted his eyes, then shook his head and said, "Cao Wenxi doesn't have enough food and salt, so no matter what Liu Yinfeng says, there will be no response."
Yun Shang's face showed a bit of disappointment, and her voice was also a little low: "Think about it, in the past twenty years, her desire for revenge has never disappeared. How could it change just because of Liu Yinfeng's few words?
of."
Just as the two of them were saying this, secret guards hurried over from outside: "Your Majesty, empress, it's not good, the Supreme Emperor has gone to the private cell, and the secret guards failed to resist, allowing him to see Cao Wenxi.
"
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were startled. Luo Qingyan stood up quickly, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yun Shang and said: "The matter has come to this, I might as well seize this opportunity and talk to him, you are in Weiyang
The palace will wait for news."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and responded. (To be continued)
