When Yun Shang was half asleep, she vaguely heard someone screaming. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, help..."
Then came some noise.
Yun Shang frowned and opened her eyes, but the cries didn't disappear. Yun Shang was a little surprised. It turned out that she was not in a dream. There was no one in the inner hall, and there was a faint male voice coming from outside.
"Qin Yi..." Yun Shang called loudly.
Footsteps were heard, but it was Hua'er came in. "Your Majesty, you are awake? Qin Yi is dealing with something at the gate of our Weiyang Palace. Your Majesty, do you want to get up. How about letting me serve you?"
"What happened outside?" Yun Shang listened carefully for a while, but didn't hear clearly what they were talking about. "I heard someone calling for help?"
Hua'er hurriedly answered, "It's a concubine of His Former Majesty. It is said that His Majesty has ordered to kill her, but when the guards went to her palace to arrest her, she ran away to our palace to ask for help. Fortunately, the guards at the gate of our palace stopped her."
A concubine of His Former Majesty? Why did Luo Qingyan order to kill her?
Yun Shang sat up and said softly, "Go and call Qin Yi here."
Hua'er answered yes and left. After a while, Qin Yi came over in a hurry. "Your Majesty, are you getting up?"
Yun Shang sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at Qin Yi. "Who is asking for help outside?"
Hearing this, Qin Yi answered in a hurry, "Your Majesty, it's Lady Lin, Lin Jingya. She is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Lord Lin. She had had a daughter with the former emperor, but the little princess died when she was very young. The former emperor visited her palace one or two times a year."
Hearing this, Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and smiled. "The daughter of Lord Lin?"
"Yes, it is said that the death penalty will apply to Lord Lin and the former Minister of Justice, Wang Yuanjun, as well as their family members and friends because they smeared His Majesty in the morning court this morning." Qin Yi answered softly.
Yun Shang looked up and exchanged a look with Qin Yi. They all saw joy in each other's eyes.
"Help me change my clothes." Yun Shang whispered.
Qin Yi replied. She put on socks and shoes with phoenix pattern embroidered with gold threads. Then she took out a vermilion robe and put it on Yun Shang. She combed her hair in a bun and inserted a phoenix hairpin and a gold hairpin in it.
After dressing up, Yun Shang stood up and walked out of the inner hall. Perhaps it was Qin Yi who ordered, Lin Jingya hadn't been taken away. She was escorted by the guards. Her hair was messy, and her face was full of tears, with a hint of despair. Seeing Yun Shang coming out of the main hall, her eyes suddenly burst out a light. She wanted to rush forward, but was pulled back by the guards behind her.
"Your Majesty, please, please save me and my family." Her voice was a little hoarse.
Yun Shang walked slowly to Lin Jingya. With a calm look on her face, Yun Shang looked at her indifferently. "Do you know what kind of crime your father has committed?"
Tears welled up in her
Then Luo Qingyan looked up at Yun Shang, turned around and walked towards her.
Luo Qingyan went up to the pavilion and gave Yun Shang a good looking-over before asking, "I heard that something happened in Weiyang Palace. Is everything okay?"
Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine. But Lin Jingya has died. She said she knew everything, but before I could ask, she was killed."
Luo Qingyan nodded, as if he had already known about it. He said gently, "It's good that you are fine."
Yun Shang broke into a gentle smile, "I'm fine. I heard that His Majesty ordered to kill the two officials and their family, so you've settled the problem about the imperial seal?"
Hearing Yun Shang's question, Luo Qingyan nodded with a smile. He stepped back two steps and made a bow to Yun Shang. "Thank you, Your Majesty. You are really my lucky star."
Luo Qingyan's sudden behavior startled Liu Wenan behind him. Liu Wenan opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he finally found his voice. "Your Majesty scared me."
After a pause, he continued, "But I'm curious about how Her Majesty made it?" I've tried every means, but I still can't find the craftsmen. And I don't dare to ask the other craftsmen in the Palace to engrave a seal as I fear they might disappear like that one. In that case, the fake imperial seal will be known all over the city, and it will be greatly disadvantageous to the emperor."
Yun Shang curled up her lips into a smile, but she couldn't tell Liu Wenan about it. After all, Liu Wenan was a servant of Xia Huanyu, so she couldn't expose her power to him.
"Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it." Yun Shang replied with a smile. She looked up at the chrysanthemums and the large lake in the distance. The scenery in the Imperial Garden is really good. She smiled and said, "Let's just have the lunch here."
Luo Qingyan agreed. Liu Wenan turned around and left to arrange the lunch. Seeing that Liu Wenan walked out of the Imperial Garden, Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "My lade, I also want to know how you made it?"
