Luo Qingyan not only left the army to Lord Hua Guo and went back to Lingxi City himself, but also took Yun Shang on the way back to Jin City the next day. While Yun Shang was still sleeping, Luo Qingyan carried her into the carriage. Although she heard the sound of the wheels, she thought Luo Qingyan was going to Huaiyin City. After all, both Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua were there.
WhenYun Shang woke up, she found that it was not the case. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside for a long time. Then she found something wrong. "It seemed not to be the way to Huaiyin City?"
Luo Qingyan didn't ride a horse this time. He sat in the carriage with Yun Shang. Hearing Yun Shang's question, he nodded slightly, 'Em, we're on the way back to Jin City."
Yun Shang's eyes widened in shock. She said in a hurry, "We haven't found Su Qi and Su Qi yet. And the seventh prince is still in the prison..."
Luo Qingyan nodded again, "I know. It's okay. Just leave these matters to His Majesty."
Yun Shang kept silent and glanced at Luo Qingyan from time to time. After a while, she finally asked, "Is there anything happened in Jin City?"
Luo Qingyan looked up and smiled, "You've really got a baby brain since you were pregnant. Have you forgotten what Su Ruji said on the top of Mt. Jun?"
Yun Shang stared at Luo Qingyan blankly. After a while, she shook her head and said, "She has said a lot. What did you mean? Besides, you were not there at that time. How could you know what she said?"
Luo Qingyan smiled slowly and quipped, "Although I'm not here, I could ask the secret guard. Su Ruji did say a lot, but I'm afraid you couldn't remember an important thing she mentioned.
A hint of doubt flashed through Yun Shang's eyes. She lowered her head and thought for a long time, but she didn't remember anything important. Wasn't Su Ruji just venting her hatred for Xia Huanyu on the top of Mt. Jun that day?
Luo Qingyan patted Yun Shang's head and said with a smile, "Su Ruji said that they would usurp the throne during His Majesty absence.
Yun Shang was slightly stunned. On second thought, it seemed that Su Ruji had indeed said something like that. But at that time, she thought that Xia Huanyu would deal with it by himself, so she didn't keep it in mind. She didn't expect that...
Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan's side face and thought, 'Luo Qingyan must have discussed it with Xia Huanyu."
Yun Shang lowered her head and lost in thought. Luo Qingyan had won the war with the State of Yelang. This was a great credit. If he could subside the rebellion, he would make a great contribution.
In this way, if she tried to buy people's approval and support, Luo Qingyan would probably go further.
Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang. Seeing that she was preoccupied, he smiled. He put the things in his hands aside, pulled Yun Shang to his bosom, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Don't think too much. Otherwise, our baby might become an old head on young shoulders."
Yun Shang reached out and pinched Luo Qingyan's waist. She snorted, "If he is, it must be your fault. You always keep a straight face and look cold."
Luo Qingyan burst into laughter. He reached out his hand and touched Yun Shang's belly, full of tenderness in his eyes. "It's so big. He must be a strong kid. It must've been hard for you dealing with all these matters while carrying the baby.
Feeling a twist in nose, Yun Shang quickly flashed a big smile to cover it. "It's good that you know it. You should listen to me from now on."
Luo Qingyan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, Your Highness."
Although the matter in Jin City was very urgent, Luo Qingyan didn't show any anxiety on his face, as if they were just travelling around. Yun Shang suddenly noticed that what Luo Qingyan read along the way was the memorials.
Yun Shang soon understood that it must be Xia Huanyu who had temporarily handed over the political affairs to Luo Qingyan. However, His Majesty's behavior was more like a gesture of attitude.
Yun Shang looked at the memorial in Luo Qingyan's hand for a while, then turned around, picked up a book and read it quietly.
It was a peaceful journey. Eighteen days later, Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang finally returned to Jin City. However, Jin City was not as chaotic as Yun Shang thought. The only change was that the city gate was guarded with more guards, and no one was allowed to enter the city.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan stopped the carriage and looked at the entrance of the city from a distance. They looked at each other silently and ordered the coachman to change the direction. Yun Shang ordered Qian Zhuo to send a signal to contact Qian Yin, and then asked the coachman to stop the carriage in the forest on the outskirts of the city.
About two hour later, Yun Shang heard the rapid sound of horse's hooves. Qian Zhuo walked to the carriage and whispered, "Your Highness, it's Sister Qian Yin."
Qian Yin came with Luo Yi. Yun Shang opened the door of the carriage, looked at Qian Yin who was sweating, and asked softly, "What's going on in the city?"
