Yun Shang stopped outside the garden house, and listened attentively to the sounds in the garden house for a long time, but she didn't hear anyone speak. She thought for a moment, and then managed to collect herself. An excited look appeared on her face as she walked quickly into the garden house.
Yun Shang looked up and saw the empress sitting on the front seat. Before the empress said anything, Yun Shang quickly stepped forward and knelt down. "Congratulations, your majesty. His majesty has returned safely!"
The empress was about to scold Yun Shang when she saw Yun Shang walk in. She frowned when Yun Shang spoke in such a manner. Then she heard what Yun Shang said and stayed where she was, as if surprised.
After a long while, the empress asked incredulously, "what did you say?"
Yun Shang hurriedly added, "Your Majesty, just now Lord Hua Guo with the imperial guards stopped the funeral procession of the Liu clan, and found the emperor and Prince Rui in the spiritual carriage. The emperor and Prince Rui were fed with soothing soup, but they were fine now. Lord Hua Guo has sent his majesty back to the palace..."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, the empress couldn't wait any more. She stood up and walked out with her servants.
After the empress had gone far, Lady Hua Guo held Yun Shang up and asked, "is it true? Is Qingyan all right? " Yun Shang smiled and nodded. She looked at the excited Lady Hua Guo and said, "yes, grandmother. Qingyan is fine. The Butler has sent him back to the yard. Grandmother, come with me to see him."
"Okay." The Lady Hua Guo said to Yun Shang excitedly. Then she held Yun Shang's hand, rushed into the yard. Qian Zhuo just helped Luo Qingyan settle down. When she saw Yun Shang and the Lady Hua Guo, she greeted, "your highness, Lady Hua Guo."
Noticing that both of them fixed their eyes on the person on the bed, she continued, "I have helped the prince lie down just now. His Highness is fine, and the soothing soup is a bit rapid. I will decoct some medicine first. After the prince wakes up, he will get better after drinking it."
Yun Shang nodded to her, and Qian Zhuo went out.
Lady Hua Guo walked to the bedside, and sat down. She took hold of Luo Qingyan's hand for a long time, but she didn't put it down. She smiled, "good, good. It's so good to see you back. I've been so worried and scared these days. Now I'm finally relieved."
Yun Shang also nodded and said with a smile, "you're right. His Highness' sudden incident scared all of us. Everyone can have a good sleep now."
Lady Hua Guo put Luo Qingyan's hand back into the quilt, and gently tucked the corner. She stood up and took Yun Shang's hand. "This is a hard time for you. When Luo Qingyan wakes up, I have to give him a good scold. Such a big matter is even hidden from you because he is afraid that you are worried. He didn't know that there is no news from him, which will make us even more worried."
Yun Shang bowed her head and smiled. It was not a bad thing to worry about someone. Just as they were talking, Qian Zhuo came in again and said, "Your Highness, commander Liu asks to see you."
Lost in thought, Yun Shang nodded her head and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lady Hua Guo. "You've been tired for several days. It's no big deal to ignore these troublesome things for the time being. You stay here to accompany Qingyan. I'll go and see what commander Liu is here for."
Before Yun Shang could reply, Lady Hua Guo had already gone out. Yun Shang smiled and felt quite good to be cared and loved by an elder who had no blood relationship with her.
She told Yun Shang to spend more time with Luo Qingyan. But he was still in a coma and didn't have much to accompany. Yun Shang intended to have a rest on the bed, but she gave up the idea as she thought of Lady Hua Guo's visit. She took the book and lied down on the couch.
