When Yun Shang arrived at the garden house, she saw a eunuch waiting for her. Seeing Yun Shang, he hurriedly bowed to her and said, "Your Highness, are you ready now?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly and walked towards the door. She asked softly, "Has Lady Shu said what she calls me for?"
The eunuch answered respectfully, "Her Highness didn't tell me. She just asked me to invite Your Highness to the Palace."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and didn't ask anymore. After stepping out of the mansion, she got on the carriage and went straight to the Palace.
Lady Shu seemed to have been waiting for a long time in Shuya Palace. When she saw Yun Shang enter the palace, she smiled and said, "I think I should ask the Emperor to let you live in the Palace. It takes a lot of time to come back and forth."
Yun Shang didn't know what Lady Shu was thinking. She thought they hadn't been familiar enough for Lady Shu to say like this.
Yun Shang immediately curtsied to Yun Shang. Seeing this, Lady Shu uttered an "oh" and pretended to be angry, "Why are you so polite to me? Now that you are pregnant, no curtsy next time."
Yun Shang replied with a smile.
Lady Shu smiled with satisfaction and said softly, "The Palace is getting more and more boring. I can't even find a person to talk with, so I have to bring you here from Prince Rui's mansion."
Yun Shang felt that Lady Shu behaved strangely today. She thought for a moment and smiled, "I don't believe you, Your Highness. I have seen at least five ladies on my way here. How could it be hard for you to find some companion? Moreover, now Your Highness is the most favored one by His Majesty..."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, Lady Shu laughed. She pointed at Yun Shang and said, "Nonsense, don't make fun of me."
Lady Shu asked Yun Shang to sit next to her, and poured a cup of tea for Yun Shang by herself. Then she said in a somewhat casual tone, "I know you are a blessed person since I first met you. Last night, His Majesty mentioned Prince Rui when he was in Shuya Palace. His
hat's why the Empress began to pay attention to me. She tried every means to hurt me, but was stopped by the Emperor. The pregnancy passed smoothly. Ten months later, His majesty brought a child to me. It's Prince Qi."
Lady Shu said indifferently, "As a matter of fact, I don't know who Prince Qi's biological mother is, but I've raised him for so many years and have a certain feeling for him. I hope that His Majesty could allow him a peaceful life when he doesn't need him anymore."
Yun Shang listened quietly and thought for a long time before she smiled, "He will. I've heard that Prince Qi is smart and His Majesty likes him very much. As you said, he must also have feelings for him after all these years."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, Lady Shu smiled and said, "I hope so. It's good as long as he can get out of the whole plot safely. I have been in the imperial household for so many years, I can't get out even if I want."
Yun Shang couldn't help smiling when she heard the last sentence. Lady Shu finally came to the point after talking so much and even telling out the big secret of Prince Qi's birth.
Sure enough, Lady Shu continued quietly, "I don't think there will be any other concubine in the Palace who knows so many secrets of the Emperor as I do. If possible, I'm willing to take out these secrets in exchange for a lifetime glory."
