"So why are you here pretending to be Zheng Qiming?" asked Yun Shang indifferently with her eyes fixed on Qian Liu. Actually she was not calm in her mind.
Qian Liu looked up with a smile, "I once disguised myself as a guard and went to see Zheng Qiming.
As he used to see me before, I let him see me and then persuaded him to play such a secret game with me."
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "A secret game? Did you see him before or after he killed Doctor Xue Yan? "
Qian Liu was afraid that Yun Shang would misunderstand her. As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, she tried to explain in a hurry, "Doctor Xue Yan is not dead."
Yun Shang was surprised. Even Luo Qingyan turned to Qian Liu and said in a calm voice, "It's impossible. Our secret guards witnessed the death of Doctor Xue Yan and buried him in person. The secret guards have made sure that there was no disguise, though they found there were some marks on his body. There must be no mistake about this case. "
Qian Liu nodded, "Yes, your Majesty's Secret guards saw Doctor Xue Yan's body. That's because Xia Houjing's men were watching us at that time. We didn't dare to take any action, so we had to make your Majesty's Secret guards misunderstand us. "
"Then what should the truth be?" Yun Shang asked.
Qian Liu bit her lips and went on softly, "I discussed with Zheng Qiming about the first step to get Xia Houjing's trust. Zheng Qiming told me the secret about your majesty and the Prince. It was I who made the decision to let Zheng Qiming win the trust of Xia Houjing with this news. Because I thought it's true and your majesty will know it sooner or later. I believe you will not be knocked down by it. And if we wanted to get Xia Houjing's trust, we should have valuable chips, otherwise, Xia Houjing would not believe in Zheng Qiming.
As expected, after Xia Houjing knew about this secret about your majesty, he really began to trust Zheng Qiming. But Xia Houjing was still afraid that Zheng Qiming might have used fake news. Thus he made the excuse that he was afraid that Doctor Xue Yan would cure your majesty and the Prince and asked Zheng Qiming to kill Doctor Xue Yan. I know that was a test for Zheng Qiming. If Zheng Qiming did it, Xia Houjing would completely trust him, so I asked Zheng Qiming to agree with it. Then I bought a sword that folk artists use for performance. The sword had a gear and could be retracted. Before Zheng Qiming arrived at the Changbai Mountain, I went there and told Doctor Xue Yan about it in advance. "
There was a hint of calmness and joy in Qian Liu's eyes. She said, "Doctor Xue Yan put the suspended animation drug in his mouth in advance, and prepared well a bag of chicken blood. We thus made a good show together for Xia Houjing, but I didn't expect that his Majesty's people would come to see Doctor Xue Yan at that moment. Since his Majesty's people buried Doctor Xue Yan, Xia Houjing seemed to be more convinced. Afterwards, when there was no one left on the spot, I went back to save Doctor Xue Yan. "
"Where is Doctor Xue Yan now?" asked Luo Qingyan. There was a touch of joy in his eyes.
Qian Liu hurriedly replied,
ost pleasant time for her in the past few months.
Back in the Weiyang Palace, Qian Zhuo seemed to have been waiting in the main hall for a long time, with sleepiness in her eyes. Yun Shang asked her to put on the court clothes for Luo Qingyan, and then they had breakfast together. Afterwards, she went straight back to the inner hall to get some sleep.
"Good morning, your majesty!" When Yun Shang was half-alert and half-asleep, she heard a greeting. Yun Shang frowned. Even if she hadn't woken up, the thought of Luo Qingyan came to her mind subconsciously. She opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see Qian Zhuo sitting at the table, seeming to be embroidering flowers.
It took a long time for Yun Shang to regain her consciousness. She asked in a hoarse voice, "His Majesty is back?"
Qian Zhuo shook her head, "No. Your majesty, are you awake?" Qian Zhuo stood up and walked over to the bed.
Yun Shang frowned and then nodded, "Why did I hear the greetings just now? What time is it now? "
Qian Zhuo's eyes were full of helplessness. She pointed at the parrot cage beside her and said, "It's all because of this guy. It repeated paying respects to his majesty just now. I was afraid that it would disturb you, so I threw it out. It has waken you up. It's not lunch time yet. Do you want to sleep more? "
It was still so early. Yun Shang nodded and closed her eyes again, but she did not fall asleep after a long time.
Yun Shang just opened her eyes and thought of some questions, which she didn't ask Qian Liu in detail yesterday. At present, Luo Qingyan was probably still in the Taiji Palace, and it was inconvenient for her to go to the secret prison, so she had to wait here.
"Help me to get up. I can't fall asleep again once I wake up," Yun Shang sat up and said to Qian Zhuo.
Qian Zhuo got some clothes ready for Yun Shang. Before Yun Shang put them on, she saw Pei Lan running in from outside in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I just got a message from the eunuch of the Taiji Palace that some officials in the morning court suggested his Majesty to deprive your majesty of your title."
