Yun Shang squinted her eyes and suddenly realized that Xia Houjing took Hua Yutong over in order to seek the support of his father-in-law.
Yun Shang raised her head and looked at the secret guard, "Report this to Lord Hua Guo." Lord Hua Guo was the most suitable person to deal with the clearing up in the clan.
Luo Qingyan came back late and looked a little tired. Yun Shang noticed this and quickly took off his cloak, and robe before fetching hot water for him to drink.
Luo Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the couch.
Yun Shang knew that the secret guard would report to him that Hua Yutong had left the city overnight, so she didn't need to mention it. She just smiled and asked, "it seems that you are just going to inspect the examination ground. People who don't know you might think that you have just fought a battle."
Luo Qingyan sighed, took Yun Shang's hand and sat down on the edge of the couch. Then he smiled, "isn't it more tiring than a battle? Today was the first day of examinations but we've found out seven or eight cheating candidates. "
Yun Shang frowned and looked up at Luo Qingyan, "Is that what he did?"
Luo Qingyan knew who Yun Shang was talking about. He nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid I'll arrange many people to take part in the autumn test because I'm in charge of it. I've temporarily arranged some people to control the court through the autumn test. I'm afraid the people found out today are deliberately arranged to confuse my eyes. The other people who don't cheat are probably killed by Xia Houjing. "
Yun Shang comforted him with a smile, "There's no need to be afraid. Just let him arrange people. There's still a court test left, right? That will be decided by his majesty. "
Luo Qingyan nodded, "I won't go to the martial arts test. Seven or eight out of ten candidates are our people. It can be said that we are very confident."
"Your Highness, you are so thoughtful. I think Xia Houjing will get nothing in the end. By the way, two days have passed, and have the refugees' shelters been built? " Yun Shang thought that since Luo Qingyan came back so late, he must have visited outside the city, so she asked.
"Most of them have been built. I've ordered to help the refugees to settle in," Luo Qingyan answered softly.
Yun Shang thought for a moment and said softly, "Your Highness, you can ask the secret guards to guard the sheds where the refugees live. If the refugees were deliberately arranged by someone, they would try their best to send a message to contact that person. If we can block the letter, maybe we can get something. "
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "Yes, I've arranged it."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled. She had thought too much. How could a person like Luo Qingyan not think of these things?
Luo Qingyan gently touched Yun Shang's hair. He was too lazy to move. After a long time, he remembered something. He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang.
"This is a letter from Wang J
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.
if she knew that she was still unable to protect her child well...
He didn't know how she would react, and he didn't want to know either.
Footsteps came from outside. They were familiar to him. Luo Qingyan quickly adjusted his expression, raised a smile and looked at the door.
The door curtain was lifted, and Yun Shang appeared at the door, with Bao'er in her arms.
"Honey, thank your father," Yun Shang smilingly walked to the edge of the couch with Bao'er in her arms. The baby turned to look at Luo Qingyan and chuckled.
Yun Shang also laughed.
Footsteps came again from the outside of the door. Yun Shang took Bao'er back into her arms, and saw Qin Yi coming in in a hurry with a pale face.
"What's wrong? Look at you. What happened? " Yun Shang asked softly.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Your highnesses, I just heard that the Empress has disappeared in the palace."
Yun Shang was surprised and looked at Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan sat up quickly and asked, "What happened? Tell me more details? "
Qin Yi hurriedly reported, "According to a secret guard in the palace, the empress has been reading and playing the Guqin in the inner hall this afternoon, leaving only Qian Zhuo to serve her. The servants outside had been listening to the faint sound of the Guqin, so they dared not to disturb them. It was not until dinner time that the emperor went to Weiyang Palace and found that there was no one in the palace. "
"They have just disappeared for no reason?" Yun Shang was a little surprised, "Why haven't I heard any news?"
"His majesty ordered that no one is allowed to spread the news outside," Qin Yi replied in a hurry.
Yun Shang frowned, "No wonder no secret guards found it. Did Qian Zhuo disappear with the Empress?"
"Yes, your highness," Qin Yi replied.
Yun Shang turned around and said to Luo Qingyan, "I'll ask the secret guards to contact Qian Zhuo. If she wakes up, she should be able to tell wherever she is."
Luo Qingyan nodded without saying anything.
