Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her head to look at Ning Qian. After a long time, she said, "You learned almost the same thing as I did in the State of Ning. Although you are not good at medical skills, you should understand some general knowledge..."
Before Yun Shang finished her words, she saw the smile at the corners of Ning Qian's mouth fade. Ning Qian said lightly, "Yes, I know. I know that pregnant people can't smell strong fragrance of flowers and I know that Jasmine may cause miscarriage, so I did it on purpose."
Yun Shang's face changed slightly and asked, "Why did you do that?"
"Ha ha..." Ning Qian smiled again, but there was a bit of coldness in her smile. "Since Your Highness came to check my pulse last time, I have some doubts. I've had pills every time. How could I be pregnant? And the attitude of those imperial physicians is too strange. As for as I know, your medical skills must be above those lousy physicians. You couldn't come to a conclusion that I have been pregnant, but they are so sure."
Ning Qian paused, "I feel it's a plot. I don't want to be calculated, but I have no power to fight back. Half a month ago, I placed these jasmines in my palace. There are seven pots in my bedroom, and I can smell the strong fragrance of jasmine as soon as I enter the bedroom, but I never feel uncomfortable. It's most likely that I am not pregnant at all. Even if I am, I have never thought of having the baby... "
Yun Shang frowned and looked at her. Her eyes were full of determination, and the smile at the corners of her mouth was somewhat cold.
"You won't regret it?" Ning Qian nodded slightly, "No, I won't. Since someone wants to convince me that I have been pregnant, I must use the child properly."
Yun Shang fell silent. As Ning Qian said, if her bedroom was really full of jasmines, and she hadn't felt uncomfortable for more than half a month, the baby in her belly was very likely to be fake. But if it was true, it would be a living life.
Noticing that Yun Shang didn't look well, Ning Qian changed the topic with a smile, "I've just heard about the matter of Lady Liu. I'm afraid Your Highness have to be careful."
Yun Shang smiled, "what can I do? As soon as I entered the palace, I became a thorn in their flesh. But there is one good thing. When I was in my mansion, it was not inconvenient for me to arrange something in the Palace. Now that I'm here, there must be many things to do."
Hearing this, Ning Qian also became interested. "What do you want to do, Your Highness?"
Yun Shang discussed with Ning Qian in Xiang Zhu Palace for a long time. After having lunch with Ning Qian, Yun Shang bid a goodbye and left for Zhaoxia Palace. However, before shewalked out of Xiang Zhu Palace, she ran into a maid.
Yun Shang was surprised and called out the maid's name, "Yan'er."
The maid was Wang Jinyan, who had traveled thousands of miles to the State of Xia
e accident.
"Has your brother never sent you any message since he left?" Yun Shang turned to Wang Jinyan.
Wang Jinyan shook her head at first, and then suddenly remembered something. She quickly said, "Four days ago, when he went out of the Palace, he told me that Prince Jing asked him to do something with him. The second morning, he came back to tell me that he would probably go somewhere far away and asked me not to worry about him."
Somewhere far away.
Yun Shang curled her lips, and an idea occurred to her.
The news she got from Wang Jinyan coincided with her previous guess.
Seeing that Yun Shang kept asking her about her brother, Wang Jinyan felt relieved and asked, "I heard that you had a conflict with a concubine in the Palace and forced her to die?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and said softly, "So rumor goes like this among the servants." Then she said nothing more about it.
After a pause, Yun Shang walked to a chair and sat down. She looked up at Wang Jinyan and said, "Well, now could you tell me why you become a maid in Xiang Zhu Palace?
Hearing this, Wang Jinyan pouted and whined, "I thought you've forgotten this..."
Yun Shang just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Wang Jinyan sighed and said in a somewhat depressed tone, "In fact, I was forced by my brother. He said I should do him a favor in return for that he help me run away from the wedding. He asked me to sneak into the Palace and meet Lady Xiang in Xiang Zhu Palace. I told Lady Xiang that I was Wang Jinyan from the State of Ning and I was sent here by Shang'er for some mission."
Wang Jinyan lowered her head dejectedly, "She believed it and let me stay in her palace."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Why did your brother ask you to go to Xiang Zhu Palace?"
Wang Jinyan waved her hand casually and said, "My brother said that Lady Xiang would become my sister-in-law sooner or later. He asked me to protect her."
