"Why are you so polite to me? What happened?" Yun Shang saw the sadness in Ning Qian's eyes and asked.
Ning Qian lowered her head and held her daughter's hand in her arms. She said calmly, "I received a letter from the State of Ning yesterday, saying that Lord Wang is not in good health and is seriously ill. Wang Jinhuan wanted to go back to the State of Ning to have a look. There was nothing serious with his majesty and master, so he could leave now. But the child was still young, and it happened that she was not in good health recently. A few days ago, she caught a cold and hasn't recovered yet. It was probably not good for her to travel long. But I can't think of any other suitable person, so I want to leave the child in the palace and let you take care of her. "
Yun Shang smiled, "It's not a big deal. There are many maids and servants in the palace. It's not a big deal to take care of a child. Don't worry."
Ning Qian nodded her head slightly, with obvious reluctance and hesitation on her face. After a while, she sighed deeply.
Yun Shang noticed that Yun Shang was not only worried about leaving the child in the palace, but also had something on her mind, so she asked, "What's wrong? You look upset. "
Ning Qian shook her head. After a while, she said, "Then I'll leave the child to master. I've prepared clothes for her. Children grow fast, so I prepared enough clothes for three months."
"There are many clothes in the palace. You have to take good care of yourself when you go back to the State of Ning this time. I have seen Lady Wang and Lord Wang, and they don't seem to be difficult to get along with. But after all, you have become their daughter-in-law, so you have to keep a low profile. If you don't want to stay in the State of Ning when Lord Wang gets better, I'll call you back. They don't dare to defy me, do they? " Yun Shang said gently.
Ning Qian nodded. She handed the baby to Hua'er, tuck
.. She is Xia Houjing's concubine. The baby in her belly is Xia Houjing's. "
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "Xia Houjing is indeed guilty of treason. If it weren't for Xia Houjing's special identity, all his family members would've been sentenced to death. In such a situation, you even dared to bring Xia Houjing's concubine and his unborn child to me and his majesty. You are really... How dare you! "
Speaking of the last few words, [云裳] suddenly raised her voice, looking fierce but timid.
Hua Yutong's body trembled, but she quickly bowed and said, "I know that Xia Houjing has committed a serious crime, and what he has done before is unforgivable. This time, I came with Xia Houjing's concubines and his two unborn children, in order to apologize to his majesty and your majesty."
"I beg your majesty to grant death to me. Xia Houjing's concubines and unborn children live in Shuiwan Alley in the city. They will be at the disposal of his majesty and your majesty."
Surprised, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at her. After a moment of silence, she said, "You came all the way here just to ask for death? And even handed over the lives of Xia Houjing's concubines and the unborn children to me and his majesty? Do you think I don't dare to kill you? "
