It seemed that Lady Shu couldn't sit still when she heard that Luo Qingyan was going to deal with political affairs all night in the Palace. Yun Shang was summoned to the Meeting Hall by Luo Qingyan for dinner. As soon as she returned to Xiangzhu Palace, she saw Lady Shu coming over with several servants.
Yun Shang curtsied to her, "Your highness."
Lady Shu nodded slightly and said, "I've heard from a servant from Xiangzhu Palace that Lady Hui is not in good health and mood. I thought of this when I took a walk in the Imperial Garden after dinner. So I came here to have a look. Where have you been, your highness?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "His highness has been dealing with political affairs in the Meeting Hall. I just went to have a look and had dinner with him."
"Ha ha." Lady Shu curled up her lips and said after a moment's hesitate, "Prince Rui and Lady Rui surely love each other very much."
Then she turned around and walked into the door of Xiangzhu Palace.
When the servants in Xiangzhu Palace saw Lady Shu and Yun Shang coming in together, they bowed and greeted them loudly, "Greetings, your highnesses."
Lady Shu nodded casually, went through the outer hall, lifted the bead curtain at the door of the inner hall, and walked in.
Seeing Lady Hui, Lady Shu seemed to be surprised. She walked quickly to the bedside and asked, "What's wrong with you, Lady Hui? Look at your eyes. Why are they so red? You looks so haggard."
Lady Shu let out a sigh and continued, "I know you are sad as you lost your baby. But you are still young, and you will have a child sooner or later. If you get hurt, it's really not worth it. You are still in the routine confinement for recovery, you have to avoid crying. Otherwise, you will suffer lingering effect.
With her head down and nose slightly red, she replied in a hoarse voice after a while, "Thank you for your concern, your highness. I'm fine."
"It's not easy for you to say that you are fine at such a situation." Lady Shu sighed, "Don't think about anything these days. Just take good care of yourself. Lady Rui has excellent medical skills. She must be able to nurse your health. The Emperor is coming back soon. You were so favored by his majesty. After his majesty came back, he will surely give you more his favor. When you recover, you will have a baby soon."
Hearing what Lady Shu said, Yun Shang almost couldn't help laughing. Although Lady Shu was just a secret guard, she must have forgotten that she was just a secret guard after being a concubine in the Palace for so many years.
What a sinister plan! She knew how much Xia Huanyu loved the Empress Hua. Since Empress Hua will return to the Palace, Xia Huanyu might not be able to step into any other lady's palace for a long time. At this moment, she was trying to urge Lin Youran to fight for his majesty's favor.
Lin Youran was not a fool. Hearing Lady Shu's words, she was about to cry again. She bit her lips and sobbed, "I don't have any extravagant hope now. I just want to live peacefully in this pala
with refined weapons, most of which were arrows, blades and spears.
"As the saying goes, fancy finding by sheer luck what one has searched for far and wide. These things can prove that these people are making weapons in the Palace, but we can't find out who is behind it." Yun Shang frowned and said to Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan smiled, "We don't need to find out. We all know who the person behind, so does his majesty. What we need to do is just to make these people we arrested confess to charges under torture. As the saying goes, if you are out to condemn someone, you can always trump up a charge.
Yun Shang widened her eyes and knew what Luo Qingyan was up to. She laughed and nodded, "You are quite right, your highness."
They had all been caught, but there were still a lot of things to deal with later. Cleaning up the scene, protecting the evidence, and interrogating those people, Luo Qingyan would probably be busy all night.
Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang and smiled, "Thanks to your highness, or we couldn't handle it so smoothly. But don't stay up late as you are pregnant. Go back to sleep first."
Yun Shang knew that she couldn't change Luo Qingyan's mind, so she agreed and followed Luo Qingyan to Xiangzhu Palace.
On the way, she saw Lady Shu rushing over. She seemed to have just woken up, only wearing a robe, and her hair was tied casually.
Seeing Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan, Lady Shu's face darkened. She stopped and frowned at the two, asking coldly, "What are Prince Rui and Lady Rui doing? I've heard that the Palace is very noisy tonight."
Luo Qingyan sneered and stared at Lady Shu.
Yun Shang chuckled in her heart. In terms of being indifferent, Lady Shu was probably not a match for Luo Qingyan.
"His majesty entrusted your highness with the imperial household when he left Jin City. It seems that your highness have managed the imperial household in an orderly manner. There are about seven hundred unidentified people in the Palace, but your highness don't know it at all."
