The Empress asked for her? Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. She was afraid that the empress would think she had done something bad to Xia Yunxi.
Yun Shang thought for a moment, turned to speak to Luo Qingyan, and then stood up to go to the Wei Yang palace. However, just as she stood up, she saw Luo Qingyan put down his glass and also stand up as well.
"Your Highness?" Yun Shang stopped and looked at Luo Qingyan with curiosity.
"I'll go with you. I just thought that I haven't seen my nephew, and I should go with you no matter what." Then Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's shoulder and walked out of the Taiji Palace slowly.
The Wei Yang Palace was brightly lit, and the servants led them to the door of the side hall where the servants were scurrying back and forth. Yun Shang thought for a moment, and stepped into the hall with Luo Qingyan. Many servants were waiting in the side hall, some with washbasin in their hands, and some with towels in their hands.
Luo Qingyan glanced at them indifferently, and then led Yun Shang into the inner hall. Xia Huanyu and the empress were both sitting on the chair opposite the bed. Three imperial physicians with white beard were standing by the bed, and they were examining the little boy. Two servants were standing beside him, one holding a pot in hand, and the other holding a towel.
"Are you here?" Xia Huanyu turned around and said to Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang agreed. They stepped forward together before Yun Shang said gently, "The little prince..."
Before Yun Shang finished her words, the empress cast a cold glance at her, and said coldly, "in the afternoon today, I went to change my clothes
t cakes."
"Have the rest chestnut cakes delivered to me. And ask the nanny of the little prince how she deal with that half piece of cake." Xia Huanyu ordered Liu Wenan who was standing behind him.
Yun Shang sank into deep thought for a while. Then she looked away and fixed her eyes on Xia Yunxi.
Xia Yunxi's face was deathly pale. Sweat kept oozing from his forehead. Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she looked up at the imperial physician and asked, "what's wrong with the little prince?"
One of the imperial physicians turned to look at Yun Shang and Xia Huanyu before he answered, "he should be poisoned."
"Being poisoned?" Yun Shang frowned and wondered if it had something to do with Lady Shu?
But Liu Wenan had already returned to the hall, with a plate of chestnut cake in his hand. After Xia Huanyu waved his hand, he took the bowl to the imperial physician. The three imperial physicians had tested the poison with the silver needles and examined them one by one. Then they frowned and said, "these in this plate are indeed ordinary chestnut cakes. They are not poisoned."
