Luo Qingyan was a little surprised to see Chen Ke when he came back. After Chen Ke had gone to the kitchen to order the dinner, Luo Qingyan turned to Yun Shang. "What's going on?"
Looking at his expression, Yun Shang knew that he must have also found out that the person who had been watching her in the Weiyang Palace was Chen Ke. Yun Shang blinked at Luo Qingyan and smiled, "It's safer to put the spy around me."
In fact, Yun Shang knew that since Chen Ke worked for Xia Huanyu, what he would do was just to keep an eye on her and report everything to Xia Huanyu in detail. He wouldn't hurt her. In this case, it was best to put him around her. In this way, Yun Shang could find more opportunities to act out of his sight.
Seeing the cunning look in Yun Shang's eyes, Luo Qingyan understood what Yun Shang was thinking. He sighed and said, "I meant to get rid of him directly, but your method is very good."
"Get rid of him..." Yun Shang smiled, "I have thought about it too. But if we can deal with one, there will be another one, and the next one might hide more deeply, which will cause unnecessary trouble."
Knowing that Yun Shang had her own arrangement, Luo Qingyan didn't say anything more. He walked to the bench, sat down, and held Yun Shang to sit beside him. Then, he stared at Yun Shang and couldn't help laughing. Yun Shang was confused. "What are you laughing about?"
"I received a message earlier that the State of Ning had sent troops to attack the State of Yelang." Luo Qingyan leaned back, put his hands under his head and looked at Yun Shang with a smile.
Hearing this, Yun Shang was also surprised, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why should I lie to you? The State of Ning has sent four hundred thousand people to attack the northernmost city of the State of Yelang, Qimucuo City and has taken down three cities in a row in just four days." A hint of cruelty flashed through Luo Qingyan's eyes. "I've ordered Zhao Yingjie to not to t fight against the enemy head on, but just to entangle Qingsu to make him unable to go back for self-rescue."
Yun Shang kept silent for a moment, but she was a little worried. "Although father has sent troops there and taken down three cities, as far as I know, the cities in the north of the State of Yelang are very poor, thus worthless. However, it will take at least three months for the army of the State of Ning to reach the Imperial City of the State of Yelang at the fastest speed. I'm wondering whether or not Qingsu will give up those barren northern cities directly and join hands with Xia Houjing to attack the State of Xia. If they succeed, he can also get from Xia Houjing some cities that are much richer than those in the north of the State of Yelang. In that case, it won't be a loss for him."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "I've thought about it before. But Qingsu is a ruthless man and he was a
ansion."
Hearing this, Qian Zhuo clapped her leg and exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of Lord Hua Guo's mansion? Great, I'll send someone to arrange it now."
"As soon as possible. I can't wait to know what kind of secret Xia Huanyu tried so hard to hide back then." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and the page in her hand had been wrinkled.
Qian Zhuo agreed. When she was about to go out, she thought of something else. She turned back and said softly, "By the way, Your Majesty, I heard from Qing Hao that Chen Ke went out last night. Qing Hao could only follow Chen Ke at a distance so as not to be noticed by him. He saw Chen Ke meeting a person."
Hearing this, Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo and asked, "Do you know which palace the person is from?"
Qian Zhuo shook her head and said, "Qing Hao didn't want to alarm the enemy, so he didn't ask th secret guards to investigate the person."
"Well, there is no need to investigate." Yun Shang smiled. "It's most likely that he is from Taihe Palace. I'm afraid Chen Ke hadn't got chance to Taihe Palace to report to His Former Majesty for a few days .So His Former Majesty sent someone to inquire. However, His Majesty dared not to let Chen Ke go to Taihe Palace at night because of the presence of Her Fomer Majesty. How about this? You find a way to arrange Chen Ke to do a job alone. Otherwise, they might suspect that we have found out."
Qian Zhuo replied in a low voice, bowed and left.
Yun Shang touched the wrinkled page, lost in thought. She had the feeling that he could get some important information about Lady Liu's case from the midwife's husband that has been found. Recently, she always felt that a shocking secret behind Lady Liu's case would be revealed.
However, she was a little uneasy, fearing that the secret would be bad for Luo Qingyan. If it was against Luo Qingyan, she had to deal with it no matter how much she had to pay.
