Yun Shang bent over and picked up a cup of tea. When she heard lady Shu's question, she paused for a second, and then slowly picked up the cup of tea. She looked at Lady Shu with surprise in her eyes, "Lady Shu, you are so discerning. The little guy ate the chestnut cake sent here by a maid. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Hearing this, lady Shu smiled faintly, raised her hand, wiped the corner of her mouth gently, and shook her head, "nothing, I am just asking casually."
Although she said she was just asking, her eyes were full of mischief as if she was waiting for something to happen.
Yun Shang was not in the mood to guess what was behind Lady Shu's smile. The chestnut cakes were sent to the little prince by the maids, and were given to him by the maid herself. She believed that no matter what happened to the little prince, she would be safe. She had learned how to not give a damn about anyone else through all these years living in the palace.
Yun Shang took a sip of the tea and looked at the little boy next to her. The maid was about to serve the prince a cup of tea. Yun Shang beckoned to his maid, "serve the little prince and let him have some tea."
The servant immediately responded yes, and handed the cup to Xia Yunxi's mouth. Raising his head, Xia Yunxi gave Yun Shang a glance. Then he bowed his head, put the cup in his hand and began to drink water.
Right at this moment, a woman who was in her twenties walked up to Yunxi and said worriedly to him, "Oh, my dear, I just went to help someone else for a while. You were gone in a twinkling of an eye and I was almost scared out of my heart."
The worried look on the lady's face didn't seem to be lying, and Yun Shang was trying to figure out who she was. Then, she heard a timid voice called, "Nanny..."
The servant woman took the little boy in her arms and curtsied to everyone. Then she was about to take Xia Yunxi off the hall. Yun Shang thought for a while and said indifferently, "the empress just asked Yunxi to wait for her to change her clothes. Today is her Majesty's birthday, so please let Yunxi stay with you."
The maid stopped in her tracks and looked up at Yun Shang. She immediately responded, "yes, yes, I understand." Then she put down Xia Yunxi on a nearby chair. Seeing that he was holding a small piece of chestnut cake, she said hastily, "I hope you won't eat too much this time." Then she took the half piece of chestnut cake from the boy's hand and put it aside.
Yun Shang took a glance at the maid, and thought, 'since Xia Yunxi's nanny is here, nothing bad will probably happen.' Then she turned her head to start talking to Lady Yun casually.
While the two of them were talking, Yun Shang smelled a faint fragrance. She was surprised and frowned. She took a few deep breaths and a murderous look flashed in her eyes. Yun Shang looked around quietly and saw only lady Shu looking at her with a smile on her face. Yun Shang thought what had happened just now over in her mind. Then she picked up the teacup on the table and sniffed it. Suddenly, her face turned pale because of it.
"What's wrong?" Ning Qian looked at Yun Shang and asked in
this, and his highness will be here soon. Let me help you get dressed."
"Okay." Yun Shang said yes, and sat on the bedside again. She felt dizzy, so she looked up at the maid and frowned, "my arm was burned. Go get some medicine for me first."
The maid frowned and whispered, "there is no available ointment in the Xiang Zhu Palace. Let me change your highness' clothes first and then go to the imperial physician to fetch some for you." Then, without waiting for Yun Shang's response, the maid took the robe, walked to her, and put her on the bed. She stretched out his hand, intending to take off Yun Shang's robe.
No sooner had the hand touched Yun Shang's, Yun Shang suddenly stood up and shouted with a frown, "help! Help! Help! Help! Assassin! Assassin!"
The face of the maid suddenly changed. She pounced on Yun Shang, and Yun Shang lifted her foot and kicked her. But due to the dizziness, she couldn't stand very firm. Then she fell sideways, just avoiding the attack.
The voice of Yun Shang had been heard by the people outside. As soon as the voice fell, someone rushed in.
Hearing the noise, Yun Shang moved aside a little and sat on the ground, looking at the maid in fighting with her people.
But the maid was also a martial artist, and was not caught in the siege when fighting with a few people, so she slipped away.
Yun Shang breathed heavily at the servants who saved her, "where is the maid who took me back? Where did she go? "
"Just now Lady Rui asked her to find Prince Rui immediately, so Qian Yu had gone to do it." Someone responded.
In a daze, Yun Shang looked at them and couldn't help but frown. "What happened to that woman? What's wrong with her? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on everyone else secretly and don't let anyone in? "
Before anyone could answer, Yun Shang heard Qian Yu's voice again, "What's wrong? I heard the noise just now. "
"A maid came here just now and said that the empress had something to tell her highness. We couldn't stop her, so we let her in. But we didn't expect that she came to hurt her highness." Someone responded.
