Luo Qingyan was also a little annoyed. "Wang Yuanjun is always on Xia Houjing's side. He must come with ill intent. I'll go and have a look."
Yun Shang frowned and murmured, "But Your Majesty hasn't had lunch yet."
Luo Qingyan smiled, "Are you afraid that I will be hungry in the Palace? It's okay. I'll ask Liu Wenan to prepare some food later and I'll have lunch in Taiji Palace. You don't need to wait for me."
Yun Shang had to agree and sent Luo Qingyan out of Weiyang Palace.
After Luo Qingyan left, Yun Shang fell silent. The eunuch reported that Wang Yuanjun and the Minister of Personnel are requesting to see His Former Majesty as they suspected that Luo Qingyan had usurped the throne.
Yun Shang squinted. Xia Huanyu issued the imperial edict to pass down the throne to Luo Qingyan in the presence of all the civil and military officials. All the officials were witnesses. But Wang Yuanjun jumped out at this time. He must be holding something in his hand.
What could it be?
He said that he wanted to see Xia Huanyu. But didn't he know that Xia Huanyu would prove Luo Qingyan innocent as soon as he shown up?
Thinking of this, Yun Shang was a little worried. She wanted to send someone to inquire about it, but she didn't. She just sighed and didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, do I need to ask the kitchen to cook less dishes as His majesty won't have lunch in the palace?" Qin Yi asked softly with concern in her eyes.
Yun Shang thought for a while and shook her head. "Don't bother. You can have dinner with me later. Tell the other servants to leave."
Qin Yi nodded and stopped talking. Yun Shang took out a book and read it. But she just couldn't concentrate on it. After thinking for a long time, she raised her head and said, "Send someone to Taihe Palace to check on Their Former Majesties."
"Their Former Majesties? Didn't Your Majesty just come back from the Taihe Palace?" Qin Yi was confused.
Yun Shang nodded. She had thought about it for a long time just now. Since Wang Yuanjun kept asking to see Xia Huanyu, could it be that he was sure that Xia Huanyu was not able to show up? That might be the reason why he was so unscrupulous.
But just as Qin Yi said, when she just came out of Taihe Palace, Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling were both fine. How could someone take them away in such a short time? However, Yun Shang was still unsure. She nodded heavily and said, "Bring two bowls of bamboo fungus soup to them and check whether or not they are safe."
Qin Yi nodded in a hurry and left the inner hall.
The window was suddenly opened with a bang. Yun Shang was startled. She looked up and found the wind was strong outside, which made the leaves kept rustling and even blew the window open.
Yun Shang stood up and walked to the window. She saw several servants cleaning the yard outside. A eunuch carrying a bucket stumbled over
e and then went back to the inner hall to have a nap. When she woke up after about two hours later, she found Qin Yi and Hua'er were not in the hall. Yun Shang frowned and sat up. After putting on her shoes and getting up from the bed, she saw Luo Qingyan was sitting at the desk with a frown. There were five huge piles of memorials on the desk. If Luo Qingyan hadn't reached out for the memorial, Yun Shang couldn't have noticed him behind the piles.
Yun Shang stood up and walked to the desk. She picked up a memorial and looked through it, only to find that it was about a matter happened last year. She looked carefully at the date, and it was indeed a memorial presented in last July.
Yun Shang took another one. This one was submitted four or five months ago. And the matter reported was not at all related to that on the other memorial.
Yun Shang couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Your Majesty, why are you reading these old memorials? Are you looking for something? Do you need my help?"
Luo Qingyan looked up and fixed his eyes on Yun Shang. He was silent for a long time before he seemed to come to his senses. He took two memorials and handed them to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang opened them and had a look. One was presented in last October, and the other was presented today. But even the new memorial had already been annotated with vermillion ink and stamped with the imperial seal. Why did Luo Qingyan look at it again and again? Yun Shang frowned and read the affairs reported by the memorials. One was about the beauty selection, and the other was about the frontier. They had nothing to do with each other.
While she was confused, Luo Qingyan said, "Look at the imperial seal prints on them. Is there any difference?"
"The imperial seal prints?" Confused, Yun Shang looked at the seal prints on the two memorials for a long time and finally found the difference between the two prints.
