The Empress's hands stiffened slightly, and she looked at Yun Shang with a bit of curiosity in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, and then slowly smiled. "Yes, it's a black token. What's wrong? Have you seen it before? "
"Yes, I have. And the token is lying under my pillow at the moment." Smiling more brightly and looked at the Empress and asked curiously, "But why did you ask about the token?"
Then the Empress looked at the pillow that Yun Shang leaned against with burning eyes. "Under your pillow?" The Empress pondered for a while and said with a smile, "I don't really want it. After all, it belongs to the Emperor. It makes sense that His Majesty gave it to Prince Rui and There is nothing wrong with His Majesty showing particular favor to his son. However, though Lord Hua Guo is Prince Rui's grandfather, he is not a member of the royal family. His majesty had divided the token into three parts and given to Commandant Su, Minister Liu and Lord Hua Guo, in case that the token might be taken by someone to do evil things."
The Empress stopped, and then smiled. "If Lord Hua Guo holds a whole token alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. The Imperial Guard was a military unit devoted to the protection of the Emperor, the royal family and the Jin City. How could they be dispatched by an outsider? If there is something wrong, I'm afraid His Majesty will blame it on Prince Rui."
The empress sat down on the edge of Yun Shang's bed, holding Yun Shang's hand with a smile. "The day before yesterday, Lord Hua Guo took the token to dispatch the imperial guards and search the His Majesty all over the city. In this way, if someone finds it, he will guess that his majesty is in trouble. I'm afraid he court is going to be in chaos. "
After the Empress talked for a long time, Yun Shang said with a little confusion, "The imperial guards? What does it have to do with the imperial guards? "
The empress frowned and said. "Isn't the black token the imperial guard token?"
"Of course not..." Yun Shang shook her head and took out a black token from under her pillow. The Empress quickly took it, and her face suddenly darkened. The token was indeed black, but it had a word "Luo" on it.
Yun Shang replied momentarily, "The other day I knew that something happened to his majesty. After breakfast the next morning, His Highness returned to the mansion and gave the token to me. This token was used by His Highness when he was in the State of Ning to dispatch his secret guards. His Highness asked me to take good care of myself as the Jin City is in chaos now. He also said that he has arranged all the secret guards to protect me and that I could order them whenever I need. That's the reason why His Highness was captured. He only brought two secret guards with him that day, rushing to the palace. "
Yun Shang lowered he
n, and everyone in the room turned around. Joy filled Qian Liu's eyes. She lifted the quilt and was about to get off the bed.
Yun Shang hurriedly went to the bed and held her back. Then she sat down on the end of the bed, "Don't get up. You are so badly hurt."
Qian Zhuo asked the maid to leave. Then Yun Shang looked at Qian Liu reproachfully, "You always persuade me to take good care of myself, but you have no mercy on yourself. It was an emergency, but you don't need to risk your life. Let me have a look at the injuries. I have a lot of good medicine. I'll ask Qian Zhuo to bring some to you later. You silly girl. You always look calm and cool. But sometimes you are just so desperate."
Qian Liu smiled and said, "Don't look, the wounds are ugly. It looks really terrible, but, In fact, it's not that serious. Lady Hua Guo has given me many valuable medicines and ordered the maids to apply them for me. Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll be as energetic as before after a couple of days. "
Qian Zhuo stood beside Yun Shang, looking at Qian Liu with worry in his eyes. "Her Highness is right. You are calmer than anyone else, but why didn't you take care of yourself? You must recover as soon as possible and serve Her Highness with me. It's impossible for you to rest all the time. "
Qian Zhuo blamed Qian Liu, but full of concern in her tone.
Hearing Yun Shang and Qian Liu's words, Qian Liu asked for forgiveness and quickly changed the topic. "A lot of things have happened in the Jin City these days. The officials seemed to have heard the news of His Majesty's missing. Many officials are very active recently. I've sent some servants to observe, ask around and record their actions. I'm free now, and I'll sort it out for your highness. It contains who they have contacted, their unusual behaviors and even their wives'. By the way, have you heard that Lady Liu has gone? "
