After Liu Wenan left, Yun Shang lowered her eyes and stared at the imperial edict for a long time. She then smiled and put it away.
"Your Majesty, are you going to ask to deliver the meal?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Go ahead."
When they were having dinner, Qian Zhuo walked in quickly.
"What's the matter?" Yun Shang put down the tableware, took the hot handkerchief from the servant, wiped her hands and asked in a low voice.
"Master Liu left the Weiyang Palace and went to His Former Majesty."
Yun Shang smiled, "He didn't hide anything. He knew I would send someone to follow him, but he didn't try to hide himself."
"His Former Majesty..." Qian Zhuo frowned and asked with hesitation.
"It doesn't matter." Yun Shang smiled, "I've already told His Former Majesty about it. At that moment, His Former Majesty didn't show any objection,"
as she spoke, she couldn't help but squint her eyes. "His Former Majesty is as clear as a mirror in his heart. I'm afraid he has already guessed something. Now he is most likely just watching and won't stop me."
Hearing Yun Shang's analysis, Qian Zhuo felt a little relieved.
The Weiyang Palace was tightly encircled like an iron bucket by guards and secret guards. And because of Yun Shang's order, no one was seen today. The whole Weiyang Palace was very quiet.
Yun Shang didn't care about the turmoil outside. She only read books on the couch in the afternoon.
At night, Yun Shang went to bed early.
She was sleeping soundly, when she heard a noise outside.
"Your Majesty," called Qian Zhuo as she quickly walked into the inner hall.
Yun Shang opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's Lady Lian from the Jinxi Palace," Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry, "Lady Lian's maid said that there were assassins entering the Jinxi Palace and were found by the patrolling guards. The assassin fled in a hurry. The guards and servants said that they saw the assassin enter our Weiyang Palace and were worried about the safety of your majesties, so they came to ask about it."
Lady Lian?
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. She remembered that when she met those ladies yesterday, it was indeed Lady Lian who was the most active.
"The guards and servants were stopped by our guards outside the palace. Lady Lian came in person and said she wanted to see you and confirm your safety.
Just now I went out to see Lady Lian and told her that everything was fine with your majesty. It's late at night and it's inconvenient to disturb your rest. And I asked Lady Lian to go back at ease. However, Lady Lian refused. She insisted that she wouldn't leave until she saw your majesty safe. If she couldn't see your majesty in person, she wouldn't be able to sleep well," reported Qian Zhuo.
Yun Shang sneered, "Then just don't sleep."
Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue and asked, "Then... can I just reply to Lady Lian this way? "
"No..." Yun Shang hurried to stop her, "Lady Lian insists to see me. I suspect that her purpose is not to see me, but to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain?" asked Qian Zhuo.
Yun Shang nodded, "It is her trick actually. Lady Lian said that she saw the assassin enter the Weiyang Palace and was worried about the safety of me and his majesty. It means that Lady Lian knows that his majesty is also in my palace.
But she only said she wanted to see me and make sure I'm safe. She didn't mention his majesty at all. She also didn't ask to see his majesty.
