Chapter 672 Send News Secretly

Yun Shang stayed up late in the night. She got up a little late the next day. Just after she finished her breakfast, the butler brought the account book to her. "Today's account books are about other mansions. They contained every detail about the mansions we bought after we came to the State of Xia. Your highness, you don't have to read it in one day."

Yun Shang looked through it and nodded, "OK, I see."

When Yun Shang opened the account book, Qian Liu came in, "Your highness, the servant reported that the seventh princess has come."

"Yutong?" Yun Shang thought for a while. Since the seventh prince had knelt down in the Taiji hall, Hua Yutong hadn't come to her for days. And the incident of the seventh prince had been left unsettled, just as Yun Shang expected.

"Ask the seventh princess to come in." Yun Shang replied with a smile.

Qian Liu answered and went out again. After a while, she led Hua Yutong in.

When Yun Shang saw Hua Yutong come in, she closed the account book in her hand and stood up with a smile. "You have known my habits well. I've just got up and now you are here."

Hua Yutong smiled lightly, but only sighed softly, "It's turned so cold today. When I came here just now, I felt as if my face was cut into pieces by the wind."

Yun Shang listened and looked at Hua Yutong carefully. She couldn't help but have some feelings. Hua Yutong was different from what she was before she got married, although she had been married for less than a month. For these days, her eyes were full of sadness.

"The spring will come after several cold months. I heard that the most beautiful time in the State of Xia is spring. All the peach blossom bloomed, like a paradise on earth. I missed it last year when I came to the State of Xia. I have to take a good look this year." Yun Shang said with a smile, taking the seat beside her.

Hua Yutong answered, seemingly absent-minded. "Yes, peach flowers are all over the mountains. They're very beautiful." While speaking, he looked around casually. "I saw you looking at the account book just now? I didn't see you do that before. I thought you have no interest in these things."

"Yes, you're right. I'm not into it. But I have no idea. I have to learn." Yun Shang replied casually and asked Qian Liu to pour tea for Hua Yutong and fetch some cakes.

"I heard that after the seventh prince knelt down outside the Taiji hall last time, he sent for a doctor. Is he all right?" Yun Shang asked softly. She had heard about it from Luo Qingyan that the seventh prince had asked for a leave and hadn't attended the morning court since then. The seventh prince had knelt for about twenty hours in coldness. Even an ordinary person couldn't bear it.

Hearing Yun Shang's question, a bitter smile appeared on Hua Yutong's face. She lowered her head and said, "To tell you the truth, after that day, I haven't seen the seventh prince at all. Every time I went to bring him some tonic soup, I was stopped outside the door by his servant. I've never come in. "

Yun Shang didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen. Sh

Shang sighed and knew that she had no time for the account book today. Thinking of this, Yun Shang put aside the account book and said to the butler, "I see. Ask him to wait in the garden house. I thought I didn't need to meet guests today, so I just dressed in some casual clothes and combed my hair in a casual style. I'll change first."

The butler responded and walked out of the room.

Qin Yi quickly took out a pink dress embroidered with cloud patterns and help Yun Shang change. Then she changed Yun Shang's hairstyle and put on a pink flower crown.

Yun Shang smiled and shook her head. "It's likely that she will come to the imperial palace. The empress always dislikes others to dress too bright. It's New Year, and there's nothing wrong with it. But just take it off and put on some hairpins." Then she called a maid in and said, "if Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo come back, tell them I'm going to the imperial palace now. If they have nothing to do in the afternoon, go to Wang Congwen's mansion and keep an eye on him."

The maid said yes. Qin Yi took off the crown and put on two golden butterfly hairpins and a pink hairband on her bun. Yun Shang nodded. Putting on a silver cloak, she stood up and went to the garden house with Qin Yi.

It was just as Yun Shang expected that the servant from the palace came to pass on the empress's decree, and commanded Yun Shang to enter the palace.

Yun Shang smiled and took over the decree. Then she asked the servants to prepare a carriage.

Qin Yi lifted the curtain and cast a glance at the person riding the horse to the front. Then she put the curtain down and whispered to Yun Shang, "The empress is calling you to come to the imperial palace. It's most likely for the matter concerning Lady Hui. What are you going to do?"

Yun Shang smiled and raised her eyebrows. "What are you afraid of? There are so many people in the palace. Even if she wants to do something to me, she won't be able to plot against me in such a situation."

Qin Yi replied in a low voice, and then they stopped talking.
