After a long while, Yun Shang felt the bed sink a little. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Luo Qingyan's face smiling at her. She also smiled. After getting close to him, she fell asleep again.
Yun Shang was still in a daze when she heard Luo Qingyan's voice ringing in her ear, "Shang'er, wake up. There's news from the palace that Lady Xiang was poisoned and in danger."
Yun Shang heard and frowned. She turned over and wanted to go on sleeping. Suddenly, she realized that the Lady Xiang was Ning Qian. She was surprised and sat up.
Luo Qingyan was also startled by Yun Shang. He paused for a moment before saying quickly, "Be careful. Don't hurt yourself."
Yun Shang quickly lifted the quilt and stood up from the bed. After putting on her shoes, Qin Yi stepped forward to help Yun Shang change her clothes.
Yun Shang walked to the dresser quickly and asked, "What happened? Why was Ning Qian poisoned all of a sudden? "
Qin Yi shook her head, "I don't know yet. The secret guard reported that Lady Xiang was poisoned and it wasn't serious. They didn't tell the details."
Yun Shang frowned and watched Qin Yi's moves in the bronze mirror. "Don't bother. Just make a simple bun."
Qin Yi responded. But Luo Qingyan, who was standing by, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Make her highness the bun she always has when she goes to the palace." After that, he turned to Yun Shang and explained, "The incident hasn't been spread in the palace. Besides, no one knows that Lady Xiang works for you. If you rush into the palace, they will suspect that you have placed many informers in the palace and that you have a special relationship with Lady Xiang.

The empress's eyes flashed with a touch of light, and her mouth curved up slightly, but her eyes were a bit cold. "Oh? Really? Since I'm back now, come in and have some tea."
Then she walked in with the concubines.
Yun Shang clenched her teeth and waited quietly for the Empress to enter the Weiyang Palace. Then she straightened up and followed the Empress.
"Your Highness..." Qin Yi called softly behind Yun Shang.
Looking at the Empress's back, Yun Shang slowed dowm her steps. She turned to Qin Yi and said, "Give me the box with coral bracelets, and you take the earrings to the Xiang Zhu Palace."
Qin Yi responded, and handed a small box to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang took it over and quickly followed the others into the Weiyang Palace.
The empress gave them a seat. Yun Shang sat down and glanced around the hall, finding many strangers.
While she was lost in thought, the voice of the Empress was heard, "Lady Rui, Do you come here only to greet me?"
