Seeing Lord Hua Guo rushing out of the mansion, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She thought Lord Hua Guo's idea would be a win-win solution.
Standing there, Yun Shang suddenly remembered something. "Is Mr. Liu going to deliver the second batch of relief materials to Liucang today?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "It's today. Dr. Zheng left the house early in the morning. They should be out of the city now."
Yun Shang was stunned, thinking that she should have seen Liu Yinfeng off. Liu Yinfeng would also be in great danger this time.
"Have you put all the drugs?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "yes."
Yun Shang nodded and stood up. "I still have some account books to check. Have all the stewards arrived?"
[Qin Yi shook her head and said, "I didn't expect you to get up so early, so I asked them to report to you after lunch. How about I ask them to come now?"
"Never mind. It's just as well that they come after lunch. I can have a good rest in the morning." Yun Shang replied softly and walked towards the South Yard.
After returning to her room, Yun Shang read the account books for a while and saw a secret guard rushing over. Yun Shang's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Have you got in touch with Qian Zhuo?"
The secret guard shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Someone among the refugees outside the city planned to send a letter by a carrier pigeon this morning. I've caught the carrier pigeon. When I went the Examination Hall to report it to His Highness, he asked me to hand the letter to Your Highness to deal with." Then the secret guard took out the letter from his waist and presented it to Yun Shang.
Hearing that it was not the news about Qian Zhuo, Yun Shang was a little disappointed, but she soon pull herself together and took over the letter. Luo Qingyan probably was not in the mood to deal with it now. The matter of the autumn Imperial examination, the matter of Xia Houjing, and the matter of Empress Hua, each of them was enough to make him anxious.
Yun Shang unfolded the letter and read it carefully. Then she sneered, "It's indeed Xia Houjing's spy."
The letter was to tell Xia Houjing that Liu Yinfeng had transported the second batch of relief materials out of the city. Yun Shang handed the letter to the secret guard and said softly, "Put the letter back in its original state, and let the carrier pigeon go."
The secret guard replied, took the letter and hurried out of the room.
Without the news of Qian Zhuo, Yun Shang felt fidgety. She couldn't concentrate on the account book, so she stood up and said to Qin Yi, "Change my clothes and I'll go to the Palace."
Qin Yi was stunned and hesitated, "But His Highness said..."
"I know. He said I don't need to send any secret guard to interfere in this matter, but I am not a secret guard. I often go to the Palace to pay respects to Empress Hua, and no one will doubt me. I just go to see the situation and will not do anything." Yun Shang answered softly, but she had already sat in front of the bronze mirror, with determination in her eyes.
Qin Yi had
o dress up and how to attract the Emperor's attention, so we often visited each other, chanting or enjoying flowers to kill time."
Yun Shang replied softly. She thought for a long time and said, "If you want to leave the Palace, just tell me. I will arrange it. You are only seventeen or eighteen years old now. You are still at your best age. It's better for you to leave the Palace than stay here forever. Ning Qian is living a good life outside the Palace now, and she should be getting married soon."
Lin Youran was stunned, with a gleam shining in her eyes. She looked up at Yun Shang, and her lips trembled slightly. "Can I leave the Palace?"
Yun Shang smiled gently, "Of course you can. Why not?"
Tears welled up in Lin Youran's eyes. After thinking for a long time, she smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing to go out of the Palace..."
Yun Shang nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it."
After saying that, Yun Shang chatted with Lin Youran for a while before leaving the Xiangzhu Palace. Not long after they left the Xiangzhu Palace, they arrived at the Imperial Garden. The chrysanthemum was in full bloom, and there were also many concubines admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden.
Looking at the figures in the Imperial Garden, Yun Shang sighed with emotion, "I remember many new ladies had just entered the Palace this time last year. At that time, I could see well-dressed maids shuttling back and forth in the imperial garden, hoping to meet the Emperor and win his favor. The women I saw then was as lively as blooming flowers, but now, they are more like withering ones."
Qin Yi also sighed, "All the women in the Palace are so lonely that they can even hear the sound of aging."
Xia Huanyu favored Empress Hua only since she returned to the Palace, which made this scene. Xia Huanyu was affectionate, but only to one person, which was cruel to his other women. It couldn't be said that Xia Huanyu was wrong, or Empress Hua was wrong...
While Yun Shang was sighing in her heart, Qin Yi said in a low voice, "Your Highness, His Majesty is here."
