Yun Shang was woken up by Qin Yi after two hours' sleep. Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes and was still in a daze when she heard Qin Yi saying smilingly, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up. His Majesty is waiting for your soup."
Hearing this, Yun Shang sat up. She sober up a little after Qin Yi help her fix her clothes and hair. "Earlier I met the directors of the Neishi Bureau and the Imperial Household Department and I told them that I wanted to change all the servants in Weiyang Palace. I got mad at them and scolded them. I'm afraid they will bring people here soon. You just stay in the palace in case they came. Choose some honest-looking ones from the servants they bring. It's all up to you and don't need to ask me."
Qin Yi was about to say something, but she suddenly remembered that Yun Shang had told her that there was someone watching them in Weiyang Palace, so she quickly replied, "Yes, I understand."
Yun Shang nodded and then ordered Hua'er to take the hamper and go to the Meeting Hall with her.
When they arrived at the Meeting Hall, they saw two eunuchs standing at the door. When they saw Yun Shang, the two eunuchs quickly bowed. Yun Shang looked in the Meeting Hall, but couldn't see anything clearly.
"I've brought some soup for His Majesty." Yun Shang whispered to the eunuch at the door.
Hearing this, the eunuch standing on the left was a little surprise. "Eh, just now the imperial kitchen had sent some soup, saying that it was ordered by His Former Majesty."
Yun Shang was stunned. She frowned and said nothing. Looking at Yun Shang's expression, the eunuch realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, "I'll report it now."
Then he hurried into the hall. Not long after, the eunuch ran out again, with a bit of joy on his face. "Your Majesty, His Majesty wants to see you."
Yun Shang nodded, took the hamper from Hua'er, and asked Hua'er to wait at the gate before she stepped into the Meeting Hall.
In the Meeting Hall, only Luo Qingyan was dealing with political affairs. Liu Wenan and Wang Wanzhi were standing aside. Wang Wanzhi was wearing a long plain dress instead of the uniform for female officials, which made her look gentle and demure. With a notebook and writing brush in her hand, Wang Wanzhi seemed to hear footsteps. She raised her head, smiled at Yun Shang and bowed slightly.
There were several censers in the hall, smoking rising from the incense. The whole Meeting Hall was filled with the scent of ambergris. Luo Qingyan was reading a memorial, frowning with unpleasant look on his face, as if he was dealing with something tricky.
After marking on it with the writing brush, Luo Qingyan put it aside. Wang Wanzhi quickly took the memorial, had a look and write something in the notebook.
Luo Qingyan raised his head. A gentle smile appeared on his gloomy face. "Shang'er, you are here? Let me see what you have brought for me."
Hearing this, the smile on Yun Shang's face softened a little. She walked to the royal table and put down the hamper. When she removed the lid, the smell of food spread around. Noticing Luo Qi
piles of memorials on the royal table and asked, "Is there any news from Liucang City? Hasn't Liu Yinfeng sent any message?"
Luo Qingyan nodded, "I'm wondering whether Liu Yinfeng has been imprisoned by Xia Houjing. No one knows what's going on there."
Yun Shang looked a little worried. She kept silent for a moment and said, "I've ordered Qian Yin to send someone in our shops to Liucang City, trying to get some information from the local people and businessmen there. But they could only get some simple information. I can have someone investigate Liu Yinfeng's current situation, but with Liu Yinfeng's wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult for him to escape."
Luo Qingyan pouted and kept silent for a while before he said lazily, "You really think highly of him."
Yun Shang sensed jealousy from his words. She didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "How could still be jealous at such a situation? It's not a big deal. Are you gonna remember it for the rest of your life?"
"Not a big deal?" Luo Qingyan snorted and became serious again. "It doesn't matter. Now Xia Houjing hasn't made any movement yet. Since he could plant spy around me, I can also arrange people around him. If he does something, my people will also try to inform me."
Yun Shang nodded. She knew it was an important matter. Luo Qingyan would certainly make arrangement, so she didn't ask any more. But she saw an envelope next to him. Yun Shang was curious, so she took it and had a look. On the envelope was Luo Qingyan's handwriting. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and saw the addressee on it "Ghost Doctor".
Raising her eyebrows, Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and asked with a smile, "Who is Ghost Doctor? A doctor?"
Luo Qingyan didn't change his expression, and relied with a gentle smile on his face. "Yes, Ghost Doctor is the doctor introduced by Liu Yinfeng. He said that his medical skills are excellent. Doctor Xue Yan has treated Her Former Majesty for a while, but it doesn't seem to work. I heard from Liu Yinfeng about Ghost Doctor, so I want to invite him here to have a try."
