Yun Shang wouldn't ask such a strange question without a purpose. Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the things in the box.
"They are all clothes and jewelry. You know, I'm not good at identifying these things. In my opinion, all these things are similar. And I don't know the fabric used."
Luo Qingyan's eyes fixed at somewhere as he spoke.
Luo Qingyan looked at a corner of the box and frowned, as if trying to identify something. After a long time, he bent down and took out a hairpin from the box. "Is this made of tourmaline?"
Seeing that he picked it up, Yun Shang smiled and nodded slightly. "Yes it is. It's made of red tourmaline, and it is the most precious purple red tourmaline."
After saying that, Yun Shang said in a low voice, "Her Former Majesty said that all the things she prepared for me in this box are the most local specialty of the places she went."
Luo Qingyan twirled the hairpin in his hand and said, "There is only one place in the State of Xia that has tourmalines, especially red tourmalines."
Yun Shang nodded, "Nanyang."
Yun Shang squatted down again, searching for something in the box, and quickly picked up something from it. "This necklace is made of bloodstone. Bloodstone is a famous specialty of Xian'an City. This cloth is produced from Jinxi City. This rouge only exists in Zhangmo County. And this is from Zangan City..."
Yun Shang counted all the items in the box and looked up at Luo Qingyan.
The two of them didn't say anything. Luo Qingyan closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then he walked quickly to the imperial case and took out the map of the State of Xia.
Yun Shang followed him to the imperial case and saw Luo Qingyan draw a circle on the map with a red writing brush. The circle almost contained all the places that Yun Shang had just read out.
Yun Shang nodded, "It's the same as the route I drew in my mind. From this box, we can get the general route of His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty's travel out of the palace."
Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "The State of Xia is not small. The scenery here is different. There are many places they can go. Why did they choose this route? Hanyang, Siyang City and Liucang City are in chaos, but they went to all of these places."
Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan and said, "Although His Former Majesty has abdicated, he is still concerned about the State of Xia's political affairs. I think His Former Majesty must have his own purpose in choosing this route. I don't know what he has found out or what he wants to do. Your Majesty, could you ask His Former Majesty about this?"
Luo Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded. "I know. I'll go to His Former Majesty's place when I'm free."
Yun Shang nodded. She found it in coincidence. Seeing Luo Qingyan agree, she took the hairpin from Luo Qingyan's hand with a smile and put it on her head. "Do I look good wearing it?"
"You look good no matter what you wear."
Yun Shang rolled her eyes at Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Majesty, your praise is not sincere."
Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing, "I praised you sincerely before. You said that I had become obsequious because of Liu Wenan and asked me to stay away from Liu Wenan. Now I'm telling the truth, but my words are not so fancy. You said that my praise is not sincere..."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty, don't you know that women's hearts are complicated?"
"Yes." The smile in Luo Qingyan's eyes widened. "It's as unfathomable as a needle in the sea. It seems that I have to ask someone to make a net with the thickest cloth so that I can catch you, a needle in the sea."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan and ignored him.
