Yun Shang lowered her eyes, tears flashed in her eyes. After a while, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but there was a bit of trembling in her voice: "It's a bit ugly, but let you be like this
It's really difficult for a rough guy who is used to handling swords to make up such a detailed thing."
Luo Qingyan's face was slightly red, and after a while, she said softly: "Let's each have one of these two concentric knots. I'm still waiting for the sachet you embroidered, and I will put this one away when the time comes."
Yun Shang thought of the embroidered support that she had thrown away long ago, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "Okay, your Majesty, don't worry, it will be finished soon. I can give advice to your Majesty, and I can also go to the palace."
When fighting on the battlefield, medical skills are not a big deal, but you can’t believe that you can still be stumped by a sachet?"
"I've said this, don't you regret it?" Luo Qingyan laughed, reached out and pinched the tip of Yun Shang's nose, then hugged Yun Shang.
This winter came a little earlier than in previous years. After Yun Shang's birthday, it became colder day by day.
After giving birth to Baoer, Yun Shang began to be afraid of the cold, and a fire was lit in the house early. Yun Shang sat on the soft couch with a blanket around the fire, but she was slightly worried: "This winter
If it gets a little colder, I'm afraid the people will be affected a lot."
Hearing the words, Qian Zui responded softly: "I haven't heard of any reports of disasters in any place. Qin Tianjian said that there will be a sunny day in a few days, and then the weather will become colder and it will be almost the same as in previous years.
.”
Yun Shang nodded: "I hope what Qin Tianjian said is correct."
Just as he said this, he heard crying again from outside. Yun Shang blinked and looked at Qian Zui: "Go and have a look, but it's Bao'er bullying Qian Qian's daughter again?"
Qian Zui nodded and walked out quickly. After a while, he hugged the little girl back and said, "The little prince doesn't like to tease people so much, does he? Just now he suddenly leaned into Yaya's ear and shouted.
He roared and made people cry."
Qian Qian's child hasn't even been given a name yet, so everyone has become accustomed to calling her Yaya.
Yun Shang was also a little bit dumbfounded: "Yes, that child is spoiled. I will bring him in later and teach him a lesson. Girls are meant to be pampered? How can you bully him like this?"
Qian Zui laughed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, it seems that she regards Yaya as her daughter-in-law."
"Why not?" Yun Shang blinked and laughed: "During this period, Qian Qian's child is in the palace. I feel that girls are really much quieter than boys. Looking at Yaya, there is no treasure.
Are you so noisy?"
"The little prince is so young, and the queen has already begun to worry about these things." Everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
Qin Tianjian's words came true this time. Sure enough, after a few days of cold weather, the sun came out for several days in a row. The weather gradually warmed up, and Yun Shang took Yaya for a walk in the imperial garden.
After walking for a while, Yun Shang felt a little tired, so she walked to the pavilion to rest, but she saw Qian Yin walking towards this side behind Peilan. Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth, and when she saw Qian Yin approaching, she
He smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for some time, but I didn't ask you properly. How is Xiao Ji's business now? After all, it is my own business. I have to care about whether I have made money?"
Qianyin bowed and then responded softly: "It's very good of course. Guests are coming like clouds. Your Majesty can just sit in the palace and count the silver."
Qianyin looked at the child in Yunshang's arms, blinked and said, "Does this look like the daughter of Boss Qianqian?"
Yun Shang nodded: "Isn't it hers? She followed Wang Jinhuan back to Ningguo. The child is too young to take with her, so she will leave it in the palace for a while." Yun Shang said, then his eyes fell on Qianyin.
On the body, "Speaking of which, you got married much earlier than Ning Qian, and your stomach hasn't moved yet?"
When Qianyin heard this, her face turned red. After hesitating for a long time, she nodded shyly and said, "Yes."
This time it was Yun Shang's turn to be stunned: "Yes? Really? How long has it been?"
Qianyin smiled and nodded and replied: "It's only been two months, and I haven't shown much pregnancy yet."
Yun Shang's face was full of joy and she laughed: "Excellent, excellent, that's good. Seeing that you two have found a good home, I feel relieved. Zhao Yingjie will also come back in a while.
Jincheng is here, and it’s almost time for his marriage to Qin Yi.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was a little surprised: "Sister Qinyi and General Zhao?"
Yun Shang nodded: "Zhao Yingjie is mature and steady. He was harmed by my unreliable sister before, but he is a good man and will definitely treat Qin Yi well."
"This is such a happy event. The Empress is about to hold a ceremony to enthrone her. Qianyin is pregnant, and sister Qinyi is also getting married. It's three blessings."
Everyone laughed for a while, but Qianyin thought about the purpose of her trip, so she calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, this slave came into the palace today because he has something to report."
Seeing Qian Yin's expression, Yun Shang pondered for a moment before saying, "What happened?"
Qianyin responded softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Hua Yutong, when the boss Qianqian entered the palace before, he should have mentioned it to the empress. She had been pestering the slave for some time and wanted to let the slave take care of her.
She came into the palace to see the empress. After Qianqian came out of the palace, she said there was no need to meet, and the servant ignored her. Later she stopped coming, but two female corpses were found in the river outside the city the day before yesterday, and the servant didn't bother her at first.
I didn't care, but later I heard from someone below that the woman there looked a bit like the one who came to see me all day long, so I went to take a look and found out that it was Hua Yutong."
When Yun Shang heard this, her face that had been smiling just now suddenly froze, and her smile gradually faded: "Hua Yutong? She is dead?"
Qianyin nodded lightly: "My servant went to see it in person, it must be her. The Jincheng Prefecture Yin and the Punishment Department both saw it, and she jumped into the river by herself."
Yun Shang fell silent, and she couldn't explain what she was feeling in her heart. Her feelings towards Hua Yutong were somewhat complicated.
At the beginning, she actually admired Hua Yutong very much. Hua Yutong had a straightforward temperament, which suited her well. But because Hua Yutong was the person chosen by Washington from the beginning, she was destined to be a chess piece. Yun Shang
I had some sympathy for her. Seeing that she was troubled, I originally wanted to give her a hand. However, her sudden betrayal made Yun Shang sad for a while. The confrontation in the Tai Chi Palace made Yun Shang completely
Broke up with her.
But later I heard that she was not living well in Liucang City, so I felt some sympathy in my heart, but more of it just felt that she had brought it all on herself, even when I saw her on the street that day.
I felt the same way when I was still fussing over a rattle worth less than a tael of silver. But when I suddenly heard the news of her death, I felt a little regretful in my heart.
Could it be that if she had met Hua Yutong when she asked Qianyin to meet her, she would not be like this now?
Several people around him had served Yun Shang for a while, and they knew Yun Shang quite well. When they saw this, they knew that Yun Shang was probably blaming himself. Qian Yin thought about it and then comforted him: "Everyone has something to do.
Everyone’s destiny, the empress has given Hua Yutong a chance.”
Yun Shang lowered his head, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "That's all, the matter is over, no matter how much you regret it, it's useless. You send someone to the private prison in Princess Tai'an's house to tell Xia Houjing the news.
Right. By the way, Qianliu, you have seen the wives and concubines around Xia Houjing. Go with you to find out who the pregnant woman who died with Hua Yutong is, and tell Xia Houjing about it. Xia Houjing
Although he rebelled and conspired, he is still a member of the royal family. Even if he is guilty, he should not be implicated. Hua Yutong and the woman should be buried with honors according to the etiquette of a princess."
Qianliu agreed in a low voice and left the palace together with Qianyin.
Yun Shang suddenly lost interest, so she stood up with Yaya in her arms and walked towards Weiyang Palace.
Qianyin is right, everyone has their own destiny. She is not a kind-hearted person. Even if she is given another chance to choose, she will still treat Hua Yutong in the same way.
In the evening, Qian Liufang came back from outside the palace. When he saw Yun Shang, he bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, I have already told Xia Houjing about this matter according to Your Majesty's instructions."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he turned his head and looked at Yun Shang strangely: "What's the matter?"
"Hua Yutong's body was found in the river outside the city the day before yesterday." Yun Shang responded softly, then raised his eyes and asked Qianliu: "How did Xia Houjing react?"
Qianliu's expression was a little strange. He pondered for a moment and then said: "It's a bit beyond my expectation. When I was in Liucang before, I always felt that Xia Houjing didn't like Hua Yutong at all. He just wanted to take advantage of Hua Yutong."
Yutong's father was able to deal with it on the face of it. But when the slave girl went to tell Xia Houjing that Hua Yutong had committed suicide by drowning in the river, Xia Houjing's reaction shocked the slave girl. After hearing this, he didn't say anything at first.
The slave thought he didn't care and was about to leave, but she heard him asking me to say it again."
"The slave said it again. Xia Houjing was silent for a while, but suddenly he burst into tears. But the slave was so frightened that he really burst into tears. After the slave came out, he specifically asked the guard who was guarding him.
The guards said that Xia Houjing has never cried since he was imprisoned. He seemed to have lost his soul all day long, walking around in the prison. Today's situation is also the first time they have seen him."
Yun Shang nodded and was silent for a long time before saying: "This cry came a little late. If it had been earlier, maybe Hua Yutong would have felt relieved after hearing it. Xia Houjing was not satisfied with Hua Yutong.
She must be ruthless, but because of Hua Yutong's identity, he feels that he actually doesn't care. But habits are sometimes terrible things, and he has become accustomed to her."
He is just a poor person. Yun Shang sighed secretly in his heart, with a bit of indescribable sadness.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The guard's voice suddenly came from outside, with a bit of urgency.
Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang looked up and saw the guards hurriedly walking in. They cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, Xia Houjing bit his tongue and committed suicide..."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, his face was full of surprise: "What? How is he?"
As he spoke, he reached for his cloak and walked outside.
"The guards found out early and have already summoned the doctor. But looking at that appearance, I feel that there is not much hope." The guards responded softly.
Luo Qingyan frowned, turned to look at Liu Wen'an who was standing aside and said: "Go to the Imperial Hospital to summon an imperial doctor and rush to the Princess Tai'an Mansion."
Liu Wen'an responded quickly, and Luo Qingyan followed the guards away.
Luo Qingyan left Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang had not yet recovered, and there was still a bit of disbelief in her eyes: "Xia Houjing actually committed suicide? Why?"
Qianliu had previously gone to report the death of Hua Yutong to Xia Houjing. After seeing his abnormal appearance, he had some guesses in his mind: "I think it's probably because Hua Yutong passed away. And now.
For Xia Houjing, there was no hope for the throne, and his life experience was different from what he imagined. It was better to die cleanly than to live like this. Hua Yutong's death was probably the last straw that broke his own.
"
Hearing this, Yun Shang's lips trembled slightly and she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say at this moment, so she just let out a long sigh.
Since arriving in the Xia Kingdom, they have fought against the Liu family, the queen, and the concubine Shu. There are too many enemies. But Xia Houjing is the one who troubles them the most. Now they suddenly hear the news that he will probably disappear like this.
, but my heart is a little complicated.
In fact, Xia Houjing was just a chess piece by mistake. It was so sad to be used as a chess piece by his own mother and as a chess piece by Xia Huanyu.
Luo Qingyan didn't come back until midnight, and Yun Shang also waited in the hall at that time. When Luo Qingyan came back and saw that Yun Shang hadn't rested yet, he understood what she was waiting for, opened her mouth, and finally shook her head with a pale face.
Shaking his head: "I couldn't save him."
Yun Shang was stunned when he heard this.
The two were silent for a long time, and Yun Shang sighed quietly: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. It's getting late. Your Majesty has to go to court tomorrow, so take a shower and rest early."
Luo Qingyan nodded, walked to the edge of the cave, and sat down suddenly. His face was not very good, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.
Yun Shang went to fetch hot water, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan took it, wiped her hands, sighed softly, and said in a dry voice: "I'm going.
At that time, he was still angry. He could still laugh when he saw me. It was just because he bit his tongue that he could no longer speak. But the way I looked at him seemed to have a lot to say."
Yun Shang took the handkerchief and put it back into the basin. She reached out and held Luo Qingyan's hand, and softly comforted him: "Perhaps for Xia Houjing now, this is the best ending. Instead of that,
It is better to live in such despair than to be freed as soon as possible." (To be continued)
