Chapter 480 The Trap (Part Two)


    Yun Shang also smiled and said gently, "Well, after all, I was a princess in the state of Ning. As a


    princess, I can be willful and unreasonable as I want to be."


    "If you were willful, there will be no women who are gentle and virtuous." Shen Yn''s loudughter


    attracted Su Qi''s attention. Seeing this, Shen Yn stuck out her tongue at Su Qi and turned to Yun


    Shang and talked to her again. Instead of rouge and powder, Shen Yn was more interested in


    weapons. Yun Shang knew a little about them and had a nice conversation with her.


    As the sun grew brighter, Su Qi wiped the sweat on his face. He stared at Yun Shang and sneered, "as


    the wife of Prince Rui, you are here to make a show. How shameless!"


    Yun Shang smiled at him, ignored him and chatted with Shen Yn alone.


    After more than two hours, several horses galloped towards them. Everyone looked up and saw


    several eunuchs dismount from the horses. Su Qi gave a cold smile at them. With assurance, he


    looked at Yun Shang and the people of the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion behind her and then he got up to


    meet the eunuchs. "Mr. Lin, has the imperial edict arrived?"


    The eunuch nodded his head and whispered to Su Qi, "master, we failed. His majesty is asking you to


    go to the imperial pce with Lady Rui. "


    When Su Qi heard that, his face suddenly changed. He clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.


    After a long while, he asked, "what happened?"


    Before the eunuch could answer, Yun Shang said slowly, "Mr. Lin, what are you whispering to master


    Su? Did his majesty issue an imperial edict? If there is an imperial edict for us, it will be against the


    rules if you only tell Master Su about it. Instead, all of us should listen to it. What do you say, huh?"


    The eunuch had no choice but to take out a golden scroll and shouted, "His Majesty has summoned


    the Field Marshal, Mr. Su and Lady Rui to the pce for a presence now."


    Everyone present made a salute after hearing the imperial edict. Yun Shang walked down the stairs


    with a smile on her face, and said while looking at Su Qi, "Mr. Su, will you withdraw the troops or not?"


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Su Qi gave a cold sneer. "Withdraw the troops? Why should I withdraw them? I already said that I''m


    trying to protect the evidence. "


    Yun Shang nodded her head and said carelessly, "in that case, I don''t have to send away all my people


    as well. I just heard that there is ady sick in the mansion of Field Marshal? No need to worry, Field


    Marshal. I''ve asked a guard to sent for a physician along with your Butler. "


    "You!" Su Qi was stunned. The blue veins stood out on his forehead. After a while, he squinted and


    answered, "fine, fine."


    Yun Shang chuckled, "master Su, you don''t need to be so grateful. This is what I should do." Then she


    got on the carriage with the help of her maids and went towards the pce.


    As Yun Shang took a carriage, and Su Qi was riding a horse, when Yun Shang arrived at the meeting


    hall, Su Qi had already arrived. He sat in a chair with a somewhat unfriendly face, and Lady Hua Guo


    was sitting opposite him. Yun Shang paid respects to Xia Huanyu before she sat down next to Lady


    Hua Guo. She examined her grandmother from head to toe and felt a little relieved to see she was fine,


    although she looked a bit unwell.


    With a somewhat cold expression on his face, Xia Huanyu took a nce at the three people in the hall


    and frowned. "What are you doing in such an early morning?" he asked.


    Su Qi hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am not unreasonable. Last night, a servant of the


    Lord Hua Guo''s mansion knocked on the door of the Field Marshal''s mansion and said that the


    evidence of treachery was found in the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion. I think it is rted to a major matter,


    so I came up with this idea to besiege the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion, in order to preserve evidences."


    Holding her crutch, the Lady Hua Guo nced at Su Qi. She sneered in a cold way, "he gathered more


    troops to surround the mansion of one of the top courtiers without sufficient evidence. Field Marshal is


    so domineering. No one knows who he is defying."


    "Shut up!" Patting the table, Xia Huanyu frowned and looked at Yun Shang, who was sitting quietly


    beside him. "What happened to you?"


    Yun Shang shed a gentle smile to him, "I was just visiting the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion when I heard


    the Field Marshal mentioning the matter. I have a strong feeling that what he said is quite reasonable. I


    think Master Su has so many soilders he could use in his hands. After all, the army is of great


    importance for our state. In my opinion, Field Marshal Su''s safety is of great importance as well, and


    we must protect him well. If Field Marshal Su is taken advantage of by the evildoers andmitted a


    rebellion, it will be a fatal blow to the state of Xia. After all, except for your Majesty''s own guards, all the


    soldiers in the state of Xia are obedient to his orders. Field Marshal Su can order the army to besiege


    the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion today, or perhaps he can order the army to besiege the Imperial Pce


    tomorrow. Am I right?"


    Yun Shang knew that she must beat Su Qi at his weakest point. Yun Shang''s father was the emperor


    too, so she knew exactly what the emperor was afraid of the most. It was a taboo for the power to be


    too centered. Many people might understand it, but no one ever gave Xia Huanyu such a point of view.


    "Nonsense!" Su Qi was absolutely anxious after he heard Yun Shang''s words. He pounded on the


    table, stood up and knelt down suddenly. "Your Majesty, I have no intention of plotting against you."
