Chapter 655 A Favorable Draw

Hearing his words, Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment, then put down the window curtain and sat there gloomily. After a while, he said, "You suddenly said you would go out of the city to pray. Is it because you knew that the seventh prince had knelt down outside the Taiji hall the whole night and knew what his majesty was going to do, so you took me out of the city with you because you worried that I would be unhappy?"

Yun Shang was surprised at Luo Qingyan's sudden thought. After thinking for a while, Yun Shang said with a smile, "We can't control everything. Sometimes we could only watch things happen. Instead of upsetting ourselves, we'd rather live our own lives."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Luo Qingyan understood a bit. He forced a smile and said, "I just don't understand why his majesty is so indulgent to him?"

"I also don't understand. But I believe that things always happen for a reason. We failed this time, but the emperor must have a grudge against the seventh prince. We should make adequate preparations before we carry out our next move. First, we need to find out the reason why his majesty allowed the seventh prince to be so arrogant. Then, we'll find the right solution and try to do it in a short time." Yun Shang chuckled, "There are a lot of days ahead. And this time, I've learned a lot from it, at least..."

Yun Shang thought about it for a while and said, "at least we can use this incident to provoke someone..."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan turned his head, frowned, and thought for a moment before saying, "You mean the empress?"

Yun Shang smiled and nodded. "The seventh prince is the murderer of the crown prince. Now we are trying to tell the empress that the emperor himself asked to set him free. And for the matter happening now, his majesty must have ordered not to tell anyone about it. The empress may not know what happened yesterday in the seventh prince's mansion, and why the seventh prince knelt down in front of the Taiji hall. If the empress knows about it one by one, I don't know what she will think."

Luo Qingyan frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm afraid the empress hated him most for losing her son in her middle age." Yun Shang smiled coldly.

untain behind and then go down the mountain."

Then he bowed to the abbot and left the room.

Yun Shang was fiddling with the bamboo stick. She gently touched the words on the sticks, and then threw it away. She poured out all the bamboo sticks from the lot pot and looked at them one by one.

"There are thirty-two sticks in the lot pot, twelve of which are the best ones, ten second best ones, five third best ones, but only five second worst ones, and there is no worst one..." Yun Shang shook her head with a smile and put all them back into the lot pot.

"People just want some good signs. No one cares what other sticks are." "Don't you want to have a walk? I didn't expect there were so many people in the temple. Just now when I came here, I noticed that there were not many people in the back hill. We could walk around there."

Yun Shang nodded and stood up. "Since we've already been here, let's go have a look."

All things had withered in the winter. There was nothing but a few plum trees in the withered season. Luo Qingyan walked with Yun Shang and felt a bit disappointed. When they were about to go down the mountain, they heard someone talking in the bamboo forest. There was a word that made Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan pause. Prince Rui.

A young woman replied confidently, "Among all the young men in the court, Prince Rui is the only one that deserves me to marry. Wait and see. No matter who is the present wife of Prince Rui, I will get that position."
