Yun Shang blinked her eyes, but Shu Jin smiled. "When your grandfather came back to the Imperial City, he told Chenxi that you couldn't understand the letter he wrote. Chenxi was depressed for quite a while for this. Then he worked hard and practiced calligraphy all day long, but he was still scolded by your grandfather. "
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She touched Chenxi's head and said, "Grandpa lied to you. He just wanted you to study and practice your handwriting."
With his eyes wide open, Chenxi looked up at Yun Shang and then at Shu Jin. "Ouch!" he screamed, clapping his knees with both hands, "Grandpa is so bad!"
Yun Shang and Lady Jin couldn't help laughing at his reaction.
Chenxi was vexed for a while. Then he turned to Yun Shang, blinking with a cunning look, "Sister, I heard that you were taught by Grandfather when you were a child. Did Grandfather ever lie to you like this?"
Yun Shang shook her head. Seeing the depressed look on Chenxi's face, she smiled again and said, "Maybe it's because I was much more honest than Chenxi. I would follow Grandpa's every idea. I would read and write whenever Grandpa asked me to, so he didn't blame me much."
"I see," replied Chenxi. He pouted, lowered his head and sighed, "All right. Everyone has his own ambitions."
Seeing him acting like an adult, Yun Shang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
After returning to the palace, Yun Shang ordered the guards to send the luggage of Emperor Ning and his group to the post house. She went back to the palace together with Emperor Ning and his group. The family chatted for a while. Seeing that Shu Jin and Chenxi were tired after a long journey, Yun Shang asked the guards to send them back to their post house for a rest.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan returned to the Weiyang Palace. Luo Qingyan said softly, "Judging from brother's expression, he seemed as if he wanted to swallow me alive."
Yun Shang blinked and asked in surprise, "Really? Why can't I notice it? "
Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe he saw that you and I have a good relationship today, and he couldn't show his resentment in front of you. He could only show his silent fury to me secretly." Then he waved his hand and said, "It's natural for Brother to be angry with me. Well, have you put Cao Shanxiu in the private prison?"
Yun Shang nodded and said, "Yes. I consider that Father and Mother are both now in the Jin City and often come to the palace. It's inevitable for them to walk around in the Weiyang Palace. It's not good if they see them. I'm the only one in your Imperial Palace. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any internal strife, and they probably don't want me to interfere too much in these affairs. "
"Yes, you are right," Luo Qingyan replied softly and he was lost in thought.
As for Cao Shanxiu, Yun Shang said helplessly, "She doesn't yield to either hard or soft tactics. It's not easy to get the truth from her. Recently, I have asked my secret guards to interrogate her. These secret guards are specialized and proficient in interrogating, but Cao Shanxiu is such a tough nut!. I'm still thinking about getting up early tomorrow. Before Father and Mother enter the palace, I'll go to the private prison to see Cao Shanxiu
I know he will be ruined by his love sooner or later. He used to draw his sword to fight against Xia Huanyu for Lady Liu, and now he has even betrayed his own brother for you."
Yun Shang kept an eye on Cao Shanxiu's reaction. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "You and Cao Wenxi are just sisters. Why do you risk your life and glory for her?"
Cao Shanxiu didn't respond, but stood quietly. Hearing Yun Shang's question, she just sneered.
The door of the private prison was opened. Yun Shang turned around and saw Qian Liu running downstairs in a hurry. She walked up to Yun Shang and reported, "Your majesty, Qian Qian is in the palace."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "Where is she now?"
Qian Liu hurriedly said, "She is just outside. She came with me and just asked me to come and inform you."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled, "Since she has come, there is no need to inform me the message. She's quick-tempered. Even if I say I don't want to see her, I'm afraid I can't. "
Hardly had her voice faded away, the door of the private prison was opened again. Ning Qian came in from the outside. She changed her appearance and looked like a quite beautiful woman.
"Master knows me well. I'm very happy." Ning Qian said with a smile, glancing around the private prison.
Yun Shang took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped her hands. She smiled, "Is there anything urgent in the palace today?"
Ning Qian nodded slightly and glanced at Cao Shanxiu. Then she said softly, "Your majesty, it's about Xia Houjing..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang put away her brocade handkerchief and said indifferently, "Let's go. It's dim here. Let's go out and have a talk."
Ning Qian responded in a soft voice. They then left the prison together. While Ning Qian was walking out of the prison, she kept looking back frequently and asked in confusion, "Why is Lady Cao in the prison?"
"Do you still remember her?" Yun Shang replied with a smile.
Ning Qian nodded and smiled, "I remember her because she is the only person who is better at disguising than me. If it weren't for His Former Majesty's prohibition, I would really like to unmask her and see what she really looks like. "
