She didn't feel anything wrong before, but what Liu Wenan told her just now reminded her that all Luo Qingyan's changes seemed to have begun after that incident in the Dangnan Mountain.
Having served in the palace for so many years, Liu Wenan had already been proficient in gauging people's words and expressions. Seeing Yun Shang's expression, he could guess what Yun Shang was thinking about. He said in a low voice, "When the news of your Majesty's accident came, his majesty was completely stunned. He was unable to say a word for a long time. However, when he finally could make a sound, his voice was hoarse.
I've been serving his majesty for a long time. It's the first time I've seen him like this."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled, but her smile was full of bitterness.
"I can see that your majesty and his majesty love each other very much. His majesty almost regards your majesty as more important than his own life. Thus, your majesty must take good care of yourself in the future.
I've also found out that only when your majesty is fine will his majesty be fine. If anything happens to your majesty, his majesty will surely follow, not only his body, more importantly, his heart."
Yun Shang nodded solemnly, "Master Liu, don't
worry. I see it."
Liu Wenan lowered his head and smiled, without saying anything more.
As soon as they entered the imperial household, they saw Xia Huanyu standing under the porch, frowning with his hands clasped behind his back.
There were many servants in the yard with bamboo sticks in their hands. At the top of the bamboo sticks, they made a circle with bamboo strips, in which there seemed to be a cobweb wrapped. Yun Shang was familiar with this scene, so she guessed that they were catching the cicadas.
Yun Shang greeted Xia Huanyu with a smile, "Father, are you watching the servants catch the cicadas?"
Xia Huanyu replied, "It's a little hot. Your mother took a light nap in the afternoon. Every time she was woken up by the cicadas outside, she couldn't sleep well. Recently, she has been in a low spirit, so I just order someone to catch all the cicadas in the yard."
After saying that, Xia Huanyu turned to Yun Shang and asked, "Why are you here in such a hot day?"
Yun Shang was about to say something, when Xia Huanyu seemed to noticed the sweat on her forehead. He frowned and said, "Let's go inside." Yun Shang responded and followed Xia Huanyu into the main hall. She just sat down and saw Hua Ling come out of the bedroom with a fan in her hand, "Hello, the Empress is here? I heard someone talking from inside just now. "
Yun Shang stood up and nodded, "Mother, aren't
you sleeping?"
Xia Huanyu also stood up and walked over to help Hua Ling sit next to him. After Hua Ling sat down, she kept on fanning herself and said, "It's too noisy outside. I can't fall asleep. So I just get up and have a look.
I heard from the emperor that you are also afraid of heat. You won't go out in summer. Why do you come here in such a hot weather today?"
Yun Shang smiled. She wasn't afraid of heat all the time, but she became like this because of the wound in her body when she gave birth to Chengye.
"Yes, there is something." Yun Shang smiled and went on, "His Majesty said that Mother's birthday is coming. The Ministry of Rites has already prepared the procedure of your birthday party. And now Liu Wenan is here to show it to you and see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted."
