A fierce look flashed in Xia Huanyu's eyes. When he was about to say something, Yun Shang said in a softer tone, "Your majesty, you don't know Why his highness has kept missing the State of Ning, do you?"
Hearing what Yun Shang said, Xia Huanyu raised his eyes and kept silent for a while. Seeing that Yun Shang didn't go on with the topic, he finally asked, "why?"
"The main reason is that in the State of Ning, there was not so much intrigue. Although my parents and brother had some little conflicts in the past, they were very harmonious in general. When he stayed in the State of Ning, his highness could do whatever he likes, fight against the enemy and defend our country. In the State of Ning, even when I went out with only two maids, his highness didn't need to worry about me. But in the State of Xia..." Yun Shang smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty might not know, now when I go out, his highness sends nearly forty secret guards to follow me. And he also forbids me to enter and exit the court without his company."
Hearing that, Xia Huanyu was lost in thought.
Yun Shang continued, "besides, in the State of Ning, his highness at least didn't need to worry about being surrounded by strange people at all times."
Noticing a bit of inquiry in Xia Huanyu's eyes, Yun Shang added with a smile, "his highness dislikes others forcing him to do things he doesn't want to. If someone forces him, I'm afraid he will not accept it."
"All in all, you are jealous." Xia Huanyu sneered. A mocking smile appeared on Yun Shang's face. "Your Majesty, if his highness falls in love with someone else and insists on living with her, do you think I can stop him?" Although I'm not a good wife, I'm not narrowminded. "
Xia Huanyu pondered for a while and then said, "I see." Then he waved his hand and said to Liu Wenan, "send Lady Rui back to Prince Rui's mansion."
Yun Shang flashed a smile, and curtsied to Xia Huanyu.
Liu Wenan quickly led Yun Shang out of the Meeting Hall and headed for the palace gate. Liu Wenan walked with his head down while Yun Shang heard him say in a low voice, "Lady Rui, you are a smart person, but you shouldn't have mentioned the empress Hua in front of his majesty. It's a taboo of his majesty."
Yun Shang smiled, "I'm afraid his Majesty wouldn't listen to me carefully if I didn't mention her. It was a kind of helpless action. Treat others as they please. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I thought his majesty knew it very well after she had gone for years."
Hearing that, Liu Wenan stopped. After a while, he continued, "don't worry, Lady Rui. His majesty trusts Prince Rui very much. He won't give anybody any chance to hurt him."
Hearing his words, Yun Shang knew the truth. She was relieved as she felt that Xia Huanyu would do something to save Luo Qingyan's life. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "thank you for your advice, Mr. Liu."
As soon as Yun Shang returned to the mansion, she was surrounded by a crowd. "Your highness, are you alright?" Is his majesty treating you well? "
Yun Shang was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. "What are you talking about? Do you think of his majesty such an unbearable person? "
Qian Zhuo sighed, "we were all shocked by the scene just now. After you left, Qian Yin sent a message to the Imperial Palace immediately and asked Qian Qian to see what happened. Qian Qian said she wanted to go to the Meeting Hall, but she was stopped outside. Then the empress suddenly went to the Xiang Zhu Palace, she had to go back in a hurry. We were so worried after receiving Qian Qian's message."
A warm smile spread across Yun Shang's face. She felt warm and answered, "don't worry about me and his highness. He will be fine, too. His majesty just led me to the palace and asked me some questions. Then he let me go. His majesty is coming back soon. We have nothing to worry about."
"That's good." Qian Liu was also delighted. "Your Highness, after you arrived in the State of Xia, you have encountered many bad things. If you have time, please go to worship the Buddha and drive away all the adversities."
Yun Shang smiled and said yes.
Back in her room, Yun Shang was not as anxious as she was in the morning. Qian Yin remembered that Yun Shang hadn't had breakfast since she got up early, so she ordered the maids to prepare food. Yun Shang wrote a letter to the State of Ning sitting at the table. She wrote to Lady Jin, to Emperor Ning, and to the secret guard in the State of Ning. She wrote for several hours.
It was half past one after Yun Shang finished writing the letter. She asked her maid to pack up, send the letter back to the State of Ning. The she had a rest on the bench.
When she woke up, Yun Shang ordered the maids to prepare supper. Most of the dishes are Luo Qingyan's favorites. Luo Qingyan hadn't come back after the dishes were heated up several times. Yun Shang was not in a hurry. She asked the maid to put the dishes and rice on the table. When she was about to eat, she saw Luo Qingyan coming in.
A ray of joy flashed in Yun Shang's eyes. She put down the bowl and stood up to welcome him as usual. Smiling, she walked to him, took off his robe, and handed it to the maid. "Go wash your hands. The dishes have just been served."
Luo Qingyan answered, walked into the bathroom and washed his hands. Then he came out and sat at the table. "I'm late, sorry to keep you waiting for a long time."
Yun Shang smiled and said softly, "it's okay." Then she picked up two pieces of mandarin fish for Luo Qingyan and said with a smile, "it's autumn now. Considering that you like mandarin fish, I asked the maid to collect some freshly dried mandarin fish. The mandarin fish is especially made for you. Have a taste. Do you like it?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and began to eat the fish in his bowl. After a while, he looked up and said, "the taste is similar to that of the State of Ning. I like it."
Yun Shang smiled even happier.
