Yun Shang also smiled and said gently, "Well, after all, I was a princess in the state of Ning. As a princess, I can be willful and unreasonable as I want to be."
"If you were willful, there will be no women who are gentle and virtuous." Shen Yilan's loud laughter attracted Su Qi's attention. Seeing this, Shen Yilan stuck out her tongue at Su Qi and turned to Yun Shang and talked to her again. Instead of rouge and powder, Shen Yilan was more interested in weapons. Yun Shang knew a little about them and had a nice conversation with her.
As the sun grew brighter, Su Qi wiped the sweat on his face. He stared at Yun Shang and sneered, "as the wife of Prince Rui, you are here to make a show. How shameless!"
Yun Shang smiled at him, ignored him and chatted with Shen Yilan alone.
After more than two hours, several horses galloped towards them. Everyone looked up and saw several eunuchs dismount from the horses. Su Qi gave a cold smile at them. With assurance, he looked at Yun Shang and the people of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion behind her and then he got up to meet the eunuchs. "Mr. Lin, has the imperial edict arrived?"
The eunuch nodded his head and whispered to Su Qi, "master, we failed. His majesty is asking you to go to the imperial palace with Lady Rui."
When Su Qi heard that, his face suddenly changed. He clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. After a long while, he asked, "what happened?"
Before the eunuch could answer, Yun Shang said slowly, "Mr. Lin, what are you whispering to master Su? Did his majesty issue an imperial edict? If there is an imperial edict for us, it will be against the rules if you only tell Master Su about it. Instead, all of us should listen to it. What do you say, huh?"
The eunuch had no choice but to take out a golden scroll and shouted, "His Majesty has summoned the Field Marshal, Mr. Su and Lady Rui to the palace for a presence now."
Everyone present made a salute after hearing the imperial edict. Yun Shang walked down the stairs with a smile on her face, and said while looking at Su Qi, "Mr. Su, will you withdraw the troops or not?"
Su Qi gave a cold sneer. "Withdraw the troops? Why should I withdraw them? I already said that I'm trying to protect the evidence."
Yun Shang nodded her head and said carelessly, "in that case, I don't have to send away all my people as well. I just heard that there is a lady sick in the mansion of Field Marshal? No need to worry, Field Marshal. I've asked a guard to sent for a physician along with your Butler."
