Yun Shang forced a smile and said, "Well... To tell you the truth, when I was at the border, I spent most of my time in Cangnan and Huaiyin. I did live in Lingxi City for a few days, but I hadn't seen the seventh Prince. But don't worry. When I was in Lingxi City, I was treated by the Governor of Lingxi City, Zhang Xing. I could send a message to him for you. If he could see the seventh Prince, he will give your letter to him."
Hearing this, Hua Yutong kept silent for a while and then nodded slightly. She took out a sealed letter from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang, "Thank you, Shang'er."
"My pleasure. You don't need to be so polite in front of me." Yun Shang smiled and handed the letter to Qian Zhuo in the presence of Hua Yutong. "Send two secret guards to Lingxi City."
Qian Zhuo took the letter and went out.
Hua Yutong thanked her again and said with a smile, "I haven't been to the Palace for a long time. Since you are going to the Palace, I'll go to greet Lady Shu with you."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "Okay, let's go."
Hua Yutong and Yun Shang went to the Palace together. As soon as they entered the Palace gate, they saw a group of officials in court clothes coming over. They seemed to be about to leave the Palace. The group was led by Luo Qingyan, who was talking to the people beside him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Yun Shang. Luo Qingyan stopped and walked quickly towards Yun Shang. "Why are you in the Palace?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "I'm going to visit Lady Hui."
Luo Qingyan nodded and looked at Yun Shang. He frowned and said, "It's a little far from here to Xiangzhu Palace. I'll ask someone to carry a palanquin here." Then he turned around and was about to give an order.
Yun Shang hurried to stop Luo Qingyan and said gently, "No, thanks. There is a rule for the use of the palanquin in the Palace. I'm not that fragile. I'd better follow the rule lest someone else will gossip about us. If you have anything to do, just go ahead with your work. I have Hua Yutong with me."
Luo Qingyan looked up at Hua Yutong, who was standing next to Yun Shang. He was silent for a moment and then nodded slightly. "Okay. Be careful. I'll come back to the Palace after I deal with something outside the Palace. Wait for me at Xiangzhu Palace. I'll pick you up later."
Yun Shang broke into a big smile and nodded, "okay."
Luo Qingyan reached out to help Yun Shang fix her haipin before going back to the group of officials.
Yun Shang took a look at them quietly, and then walked towards the inner Palace. Hua Yutong looked at Yun Shang with admiration, "Prince Rui looks cold and indifferent, but he is really gentle to Shang'er."
As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she looked a little sad.
Yun Shang reached out to hold Hua Yutong's hand and said softly, "A good woman like you is bound to meet someone who is willing to love and protect you."
Hearing this, Hua Yutong smiled b
le woman on the bed. She smiled and asked, "Do you know where you were hurt?"
The woman shook her head in a hurry and lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang said with a playful smile, "I can tell you that you didn't hurt your internal organs. You are just pregnant. It has been one month. And it has been affected by the fall.
Hearing this, not only the maid, but also Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo were surprised.
The maid's body trembled, and she didn't care about the pain anymore. She grabbed Yun Shang's dress and looked up at Yun Shang with pleading eyes. Her body kept trembling. "Your Highness, please spare my life."
Yun Shang looked indifferent. After the maid begged for a long time, she said slowly, "It's not impossible for me to spare your life and keep this secret for you. You just need to tell me who is the father of your child."
The maid didn't seem to expect that Yun Shang would ask for it. Her face stiffened and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Yun Shang smiled, "I always keep my words. As long as you answer my question, I can give you two choices. Tough the baby is affected because of your falling, it's not a big deal. If you don't want it, I can give you some medicine and let you abort the child secretly. At that, you can still stay in the Palace as a maid. If you want to keep baby, I can also find a way to take you out of the Palace and let you give birth to him safely."
Hearing this, the maid was silent for a long time before she said, "Then the child's father..."
Yun Shang smiled, "It depends on your choice. If you are all right, the child's father will be fine. Think it over. If a maid gets pregnant without permission, she will be hanged."
The maid trembled all of a sudden and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you. I'll tell you."
Yun Shang smiled and looked at her quietly. She gritted her teeth and said painfully, "The father of the child is a servant from the Jingyang Palace, called Yu Shu."
