Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Xia Huanyu in a daze. What did he say just now? He said that Prince Rui won't agree to go to Cangnan unless she leaves the Palace.
So Luo Qingyan is still in the Jin City?
Before Yun Shang came to her senses, Xia Huanyu continued, "I admit that you are really smart and good at analyzing. Although I have set many barriers, you can still see through some clues. But have you ever thought that many things are not as you see it? You have lived in the Palace since you were a child, but you are a woman, so you will never understand the struggle between men for the throne."
Xia Huanyu's voice was faint, but a little depressed. "In order to get this position, I have been stained with blood of many compatriots. Naturally, I know how cruel it is. I have my own reason to do so and I don't think you have the right to blame me."
With a hint of disdain in her smile, Yun Shang replied, "Can the reason be the excuse for Your Majesty to disregarded the lives of more than 100 people in Prince Rui's mansion? Can the reason be the excuse for Your Majesty to watch your children cutting each other's throat? Can the reason be the excuse for Your Majesty to poison your ministers?"
"Definitely." Xia Huanyu sneered, but he didn't want to waste time on this matter. He just changed the topic and said, "You know that Prince Rui is still in the Jin City, so don't you want to know where exactly he is? Don't you want to see him?" Yun Shang smiled and answered without hesitation, "Your Majesty, you don't have to keep me in suspense. I know His Highness is in the Taiji Palace."
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu was a little surprised. "How did you know?"
His question proved that Yun Shang's guess was right. Yun Shang smiled and said, "I found a note from His Highness in Zhaoxia Palace the day before Field Marshal Su shown us the letter written in blood. The note could only be sent by some servant in the Palace. But all the servants in Zhaoxia Palace were transferred from Taiji Palace by Lord Liu. I was wondering why His highness send the message to me through the servant. And I understood when Your Majesty said that His Highness hadn't left the Jin City."
It was at that moment Yun Shang understood why she couldn't get any news about Prince Rui after he disappeared even she had used all the people she placed in the Jin City and understood why Xia Huanyu brought her to Taiji Palace to listen to her accusation. The answer is because Luo Qingyan had been hidden in Taiji Palace by Xia Huanyu.
Xia Huanyu's eyes changed a few times before he smiled slowly. "No wonder he is willing to not marry any concubine." As Xia Huanyu spoke, he raised his hand and pulled a brush on the rack.
Yun Shang was in a daze for a moment, and then she heard a light sound. Behind the Dragon throne, the golden wall carved with flying dragon slowly was slowly moving away.
Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat. Was Luo Qingyan behind the wall?
As expected, after the wall was moved, Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan in purple appear behind the wall. His face was pale, but there was a gentle smile on it. He blinked and looked at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang also blinked, afraid that it was her illusion. In the blink of an eye, Luo Qingyan was still there. He raised his foot and walked slowly toYun Shang. "My shang'er is a little scary when she gets angry."
Just now, Yun Shang was wondering what he would say, but she didn't expect this. Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, but her eyes flew to Xia Huanyu who had a deep look in his eyes, and snorted, "Of course. If you dare to make me so worried again, I won't just be angry.
Luo Qingyan blinked again and helped Yun Shang up from the ground, with an innocent look in his eyes. "Shang'er, you wronged me. I really don't know anything..."
Yun Shang lowered her head and didn't respond. After a long time, she looked up at Xia Huanyu, who was watching the two of them. "Your Majesty ordered His Highness to go to Cangnan?" Then she glanced at Luo Qingyan again.
With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Xia Huanyu said, "Of course. Otherwise, why did I bother to do all this?"
Yun Shang thought for a while and turned to Luo Qingyan. "When will you set off, Your highness?"
Luo Qingyan thought for a while and said, "The seventh prince and Su Ruhai have arrived outside the Lingxi City. It will take at least seven days from the Jin City to Cangnan."
Although Luo Qingyan didn't tell her when he would leave, Yun Shang soon understood he meant he had to set off as soon as possible.
"Now that Prince Rui's mansion has been in such a mess, where do you want me to settle down?" A faint light flashed across Yun Shang's eyes.
Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang with tenderness in his eyes. "The Palace is definitely the safest place. But if you don't like staying here, you could go to Lord Hua Guo's mansion where there aren't too many rules. And you will feel at ease with Shen Yilan's accompany."
