The imperial edict to confer the title of the empress? Yun Shang frowned. Did Luo Qingyan mean that the reason why Xia Huanyu couldn't wait to appoint him as the Crown Prince was just to make it easy for him to restore Empress Hua's title?
After thinking for a while, Yun Shang finally understood that although Lord Hua Guo's mansion had made a lot of contributions and its position in the court had become more and more stable, its foundation was still too weak. Empress Hua was Xia Huanyu's wife, but she only been the Empress for two or three years. Many people of the State of Xia probably only knew Empress Su and didn't know who Empress Hua was.
Yun Shang had tried her best to spread Empress Hua's good deeds among the people, and the people were easy to manipulate, but the officials in the court were all smart people who knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
In the consideration of the advantages and disadvantages, the most important thing was the battle for the throne. Every official hoped that his position would be higher and last longer. It would be the best if the person he supported could finally ascend to the highest position. At least, it was important for him to have a good impression on the Crown Prince.
Xia Huanyu had seen it through. So he issued the imperial edict to make Prince Rui the Crown Prince before Empress Hua arrived in Jin City. The position of crown prince was settled, and Empress Hua was Luo Qingyan's biological mother. In this way, even if they didn't want to see Empress Hua become the Empress again, they didn't dare to go against Luo Qingyan at this moment.
Xia Huanyu was really a calculating man.
Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Luo Qingyan knew she had already figured it out. He smiled and handed the imperial edict to Yun Shang, "Ask someone to put it away. It's a good thing, isn't it?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly, but it was inconvenient for her to go out. She smiled and handed the imperial edict to Qin Yi.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were unexpectedly indifferent to the imperial edict, but the servants were all very excited. After all, their master has become the Crown Prince which was a much higher rank than just a Prince. As soon as their master's status was raised, even the servants could take advantage of reflected glory, and they happily spread the news.
When Yun Shang heard it, she just smiled and asked Qian Zhuo to pass on a message to the butler, "Tell the butler to keep an eye on them. Don't let them go too far. It's a good thing that His Highness has become the Crown Prince, but there will be more people staring at us, waiting to find fault with us. If anyone dares to do something out of line outside and disgrace our mansion, he will be driven out of our mansion directly."
Qian Zhuo answered yes and went to send the words.
After a while, Luo Qingyan sent someone to tell her that Princess Tai An had been found and the secret guards were taking her to the mansion for interrogation and asked if she wanted to have a look.
Yun Shang frowned and thought, although her baby was born safely in the end, she will never forgive anyone who put the two of them in danger. Then she nodded and said, "Tell His Highness to bring her to the South Yard for interrogation. It's not
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ry, with joy on her face. Then she went downstairs in a hurry to make preparations.
After a while, Luo Qingyan returned to his room. It was quiet in the room. Yun Shang was reading a book. He was surprised and raised his eyebrows. "Didn't they send Princess Tai An here?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Yes, but she is in high spirit now. I've asked someone to send her to the private prison. I'll interrogate her later."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "I'll go to have a look after dinner."
"She's just a little girl, and she's stupid. There's no need for the Crown Prince to deal with her in person." Yun Shang said smilingly, with a touch of tease in her eyes. "I'll ask Qian Zhuo to frighten her. I'm sure she will confess everything."
Seeing Yun Shang's happy smile, Luo Qingyan's eyes softened. He reached out his hand to rub Yun Shang's hair and said with a smile, "Shang'er, you're more fond of making fun of me now. It's a pity that you are still in the recovery period, otherwise I could've taught you a lesson... I'll have to get even with you later. My lady, count it, it has been five days since your confinement..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang's face turned completely red. She quickly pulled the quilt and covered herself in it, only revealing a pair of smart eyes. While she was rolling, Yun Shang's muffled voice came from the quilt, "Your Highness is now the Crown Prince, and you are still so flirtatious. Be careful that His Majesty will deprive your title when he knows it. I'm afraid you'll cry at that time."
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang, who was wrapped in the quilt, in his arms and said in a lower voice, "Shang'er is the one who loves to cry. Now she has become the Crown Princess and may become the Empress in the future. Don't cry any more. Don't cry no matter what happens, okay?"
Yun Shang felt a little strange, but she just smiled and said, "Of course. What haven't I experienced? Why am I going to cry? Let's see who will cry first?" After saying that, she seemed to be amused by herself. She laughed and fell on the bed. "I can't stand the silly talk anymore. We have already become parent." Then she laughed again.
