Chapter 797 Attitude

"Huaiyin City?" Yun Shang frowned, with a flicker of doubt in her eyes. "After we left Cangnan City, in order to deceive Qingsu, we pretended to go to Ganying City. But why did Xia Huanyu come directly towards Huaiyin City instead of going to Ganying City?

Qin Yi was surprised and looked up at Yun Shang with inquiry.

Yun Shang frowned and waved her hand to ask Qian Zhuo to leave.

"Your Highness, do you think there are still spies around us?" Seeing there were only they two left in the room, Qin Yi asked.

Yun Shang didn't respond immediately. She thought for a long time and said, "Maybe not around me, but around His Highness." After a pause, she continued, "Liu Yinfeng said that the commander's tally in the hands of the seventh prince is fake. The real commander's tally is in His Highness's hand. Since His Highness has dispatched the army, he must have used it. Then it's not difficult for Xia Huanyu to know our whereabouts."

Qin Yi nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God. I thought there were still spies around us."

"Then do Your Highness have any plan about the matter of Lady Zhao?" Qin Yi asked softly.

Yun Shang tapped her fingers on the armrest of the chair and squinted slightly. "We've been in Huaiyin City for such a long time. Is there any news from An'ning Village?"

Qin Yi shook her head and replied, "No."

Yun Shang nodded gently and thought for a long time before she said, "It will take at least ten days from Jin City to Huaiyin City even at top speed, while it's only two days' trip from Huaiyin City to An'ning Village. Now that His Highness is not here, and Lady Zhao doesn't know that Xia Huanyu is coming. Qin Yi, go and arrange it. I want to go to An'ning Village."

Qin Yi nodded and left.

It was already in the evening two days later when Yun Shang arrived at An'ning Village. The carriage stopped directly at the yard house where Lady Zhao lived. Yun Shang took a look at Qian Zhuo who then hurried forward and knocked on the door.

A maid opened the door and she was surprised to see Qian Zhuo, but she quickly concealed

d, "He is not mysterious. To tell you the truth, as an emperor, Xia Huanyu is excellent. Although the court of the State of Xia is very complicated, Xia Huanyu knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Under his rule, the people of the State of Xia live and work in peace and content, and their lives are getting better and better."

"But as a husband, in his harem, he had only favored Empress Hua before the incident. After he lost Empress Hua, he married many concubines into the Palace, the current Empress, Lady Yun, Lady Shu, Lady Xiang and many others. Some of them do get favor from Xia Huanyu, but Xia Huanyu hasn't really loved any of them. Xia Huanyu just acts like he could fall into love with anyone, but in fact, he is indifferent to everyone." Yun Shang frowned slightly and continued.

"As a father... Among royal children, there are more princesses than princes, but I rarely see those princesses. It seems that he doesn't care too much about them. As for the princes, Xia Huanyu's attitude is really unpredictable. I once thought that he favored the seventh prince because he even didn't look into the case that the seventh prince framed the Crown Prince to death. Moreover, he never blamed him when he schemed against Qingyan... But recently, I feel that the seventh prince is just a pawn in Xia Huanyu's hand..."

Hearing this, Lady Zhao frowned slightly. "It sounds interesting..."
