Chapter 456 A Life For A Life (Part Two)


    It turned out that in less than half a day, the bell in the Imperial City rang, and the imperial edict was


    sent to the mansions. It said that the old empress died of a violent illness after she came back from a


    fatigue and long journey.


    Yun Shang asked her servants to put on white clothes and white dress, and hang a white handkerchief


    in her mansion. It was also nned by Xia Huanyu that all the princes and princesses should be in the


    pce to honor the old empress, but no one mentioned that the families needed to go into the pce


    as well. Yun Shang was happy with the idle time. As for the imperial pce of the state of Xia, she


    didn''t really want to enter it that often.


    After the seventh day, it was the day that Luo Qingyan joined the army to tame the Ya n. The white


    flower had been removed, and Yun Shang reced her clothes with a light blue dress. Then she sent


    Luo Qingyan out.


    As soon as Luo Qingyan left, the mansion became lively instead. The Lady Hua Guo, several aunts


    and her sisters-inw often came to visit her. Xia Huanyu''s daughters also came here asionally to


    y with her, especially Princess Qian Ling. After that, Princess Qian Ling often took several other


    princesses here. The youngest prince was a little younger, so he waggled his hands to y with them.


    Yun Shang was quite familiar with the other princesses. She always prepared some snacks when they


    were free in the mansion for fear that the greedy monkeys woulde again one day.


    She didn''t go to the pce for many times. But she went to the empress asionally. And the empress


    never mentioned ally with Prince Rui again. asionally, Yun Shang went to the Xiang Zhu Pce to


    keep Ning Qianpany. Lady Yun was the one who summoned her the most. Lady Yun was kind to


    Yun Shang as she had saved Princess Qian Ling''s lifest time.


    "I always thought the empress had something to do with the poison, but recently I have found out


    something. It wasdy Shu." Lady Yun sighed. Coldness reflected in her eyes.


    "Lady Shu?" Yun Shang fell silent. She had heard of the name for many times. Last time when they


    discovered the witch dolls, it was found in the pce of Lady Shu. It was said thatdy Shu was in poor


    health, because she had seldom left her own pce.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Lady Yun nodded her head, "you saved Qian Ling''s life, so I didn''t want to hide it from you. Lady Shu


    was a maid of the empress at first, and she somehow hooked up with the emperor, the emperor made


    her a beauty and left her there. The empress was very strict with her servants, and she wouldn''t allow


    such a thing to happen in her pce. Besides, her father was the Field Marshal and was very powerful,


    so the emperor had to reconsider for the empress'' sake. Everyone thought it was over, butdy Shu


    gave birth to the eleventh Prince and the twelfth princess.


    There is rarely a boy and a girl twins in the royal family. Everyone thought it was a good omen at that


    time. As his Majesty was overjoyed at the news, so he made her Lady Shu. Because of the two kids,


    His Majesty went to her pce from time to time due to the pregnancy of her two children, and in the


    end, she climbed to the position and was pregnant again. The empress couldn''t tolerate a maid to act


    so recklessly, so she got rid of Lady Shu''s child and even made her never able to have child again. It


    was all my fault. Lady Shu, pregnant, offended me at that time. I was young and impulsive, so she was


    punished by me. She knelt down for several hours, but the fetus seemed to be unstable due to her


    kneel. Lady Shu panicked for the baby, so she fell into the Empress'' trick. " Lady Yun sighed and shook


    her head.


    "Lady Shu has been in poor health since then, and his majesty has never been tody Shu''s pce for


    a long time. And that''s why she hates me and the empress. The reason why she took you in the n


    that day was mostly because of Prince Rui''s sudden appearance. Although the empress was


    supporting thete crown prince, he was not a man with outstanding ability. He had a bad temper and


    thought little. But Prince Rui is different. Everyone has heard of Prince Rui''s charm. Most of those who


    have a prince want their son to be in that position, so they regard Prince Rui as their number one


    enemy. "


    Lady Yun looked at Yun Shang and smiled. "Fortunately, I have only one child, Qian Ling, and that''s


    enough. I only hope that she can grow up and marry a good man."


    "She will." Yun Shang said gently.


    Lady Yun smiled again and then turned to Yun Shang, "all the concubines with sons will be your


    enemies. Remember that. And be careful. If you are pregnant, you must protect the baby in your belly


    carefully. Many princes have married, and many of their wives were pregnant. But no one gave birth to


    any of the kids. "


    Yun Shang was taken aback at Lady Yun''s words. She didn''t expect the princes to plot such a plot to


    each other. She could understand the fight between them. After all, for the throne, many brothers had


    hurt each other for the sake of the throne from ancient times. But why did they have to hurt the children


    of a prince.


    Lady Yun seemed to understand Yun Shang''s puzzlement, she smiled and said, "the crown prince of


    state Xia, in addition to establishing the direct descendants, the prince''s descendants are also one of


    the most important standards. Because there is an old saying in the royal family, that only by spreading


    branches and leaves can the country not copse. The more sons are born, the prosperous the state of


    Xia. "


    Lady Yun said indifferently, but Yun Shang clenched her fist in her sleeve while hearing her


    words.
