Chapter 827 The Clue

Qin Yi thought for a while and said softly, "It seemed that the servant was complaining that the number of people in the Palace was fewer, but the weight of the vegetable transported every day was not reduced."

"Fewer people? The weight of vegetable was not reduced?" Luo Qingyan frowned and murmured. After a short silence, her eyes lit up. "I see."

Then he said to Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo, "I'll go to the study to deal with something. When Her Highness wakes up, let her come to the study and I have something to discuss with her."

After Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo nodded, Luo Qingyan stood up and went downstairs.

At dusk, Yun Shang finally woke up. When she asked Qin Yi to come in and serve her up, she was still in a daze. Qin Yi helped her put on her shoes. Thinking that Yun Shang wouldn't go out as it was already dark, Qin Yi chose a green slip skirt from the chest and put it on Yun Shang. Then she made her a bun casually and inserted the lotus hairpin into the bun.

"His Highness has returned home. He asked you to go to the study when you wake up. He said he had something to discuss with you." Qin Yi said softly after making the final adjustment for Yun Shang.

Hearing this, Yun Shang stood up in a hurry with joy on her face. "Well, I also have something to tell him." Then she was about to go out.

"Don't hurry, your highness. You haven't had dinner yet. I've asked someone to boil red bean soup for you. You should eat first." Qin Yi said. Then a maid came in with a tray, on which there was a bowl of red bean soup. Yun Shang picked up the bowl and drank it up quickly. She put down the bowl and went downstairs in a hurry.

As Yun Shang's belly had been big, she couldn't see the steps under her feet when she went downstairs. Seeing that Yun Shang walked fast, Qin Yi was anxious and hurried to catch up with her. "Slow down, your highness. Be careful when you walk. Don't fall."

Yun Shang smiled and waved her hand.

Yun Shang didn't know which study Luo Qingyan was in. When she checked the study next to the stairs and found Luo Qingyan was indeed there, as if he was giving orders to a secret guard. For some reason, as soon as Yun Shang stood at the door of the study, Luo Qingyan turned to her and smiled. "You're downstairs? Have you eaten anything?"

Yun Shang walked in with a smile and nodded, "I just had a bowl of red bean soup and the dinner will be ready soon."

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and said, "Sit down for a while. I'll talk with you when I'm done."

"Okay." Yun Shang replied obediently and sat down on the chair. Seeing this, Luo Qingyan turned around and continued to talk to the secret guard.

Yun Shang heard Luo Qingyan say, "Be careful. Don't alert the enemy at this time. Figure out the situation first and report it to me in time."

The secret guard nodded.

Luo Qingyan continued, "If we can get some evidence, it will be the best. But It doesn't matter even we couldn't get any. You could leave now..."

The secret guard retreated. It w

Yun Shang nodded gently and said with a smile, "Leave it to me. Don't worry, uncle."

Luo Qingyan also laughed. He held Yun Shang's hand and stood up. "Okay, okay, I believe you. But you haven't eaten anything today, and I am worried. Your highness, please go to have dinner with me."

The second day, Yun Shang got up a little early. After dressing up, she had breakfast and was about to enter the Palace when a servant reported, "The seventh princess wants to see you."

Yun Shang thought for a while and nodded slightly, "Bring her here."

When Hua Yutong came in, Yun Shang was sitting on the chair, reading a book. Seeing Yun Shang's clothes, Hua Yutong asked softly, "Shang'er, where do you plan to go?"

Yun Shang put down the book and said with a smile, "I'm going to the Palace. The day before yesterday, something happened to Lady Hui, and she had premature birth. She has lost her baby and she herself has just escaped from death. I think that she must be in a bad mood because of the accident. So I want to go to the Imperial Palace and have a chat with her."

"Is that true?" Hua Yutong seemed to be a little surprised. After a while, she said, "Lady Hui is young and it's her first pregnancy. It must be a heavy blow to her."

Yun Shang nodded and asked, "Do you have anything important, Hua Yutong?"

Hua Yutong hesitated for a while and looked up at Yun Shang. "One of his highness's maids was found to have been pregnant for about four months. She said it was his highness's baby. I want to send a message to his highness and report this to him, but you know that I have no status in the seventh prince's mansion all the time. Now I find that I can't even compare with a maid. I really can't find someone to send a message for me. Shang'er has been in the Ling Xi for so long. Can you help me send a message to his highness?"

Yun Shang lowered her head and looked at the white flower pattern on the teacup. She narrowed her eyes and wondered whether Hua Yutong was testing her?
