Chapter 608 Strife Secretly
The Empress''s hands stiffened slightly, and she looked at Yun Shang with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
She was silent for a moment, and then slowly smiled. "Yes, it''s a ck token. What''s wrong? Have you
seen it before? "
"Yes, I have. And the token is lying under my pillow at the moment." Smiling more brightly and looked
at the Empress and asked curiously, "But why did you ask about the token?"
Then the Empress looked at the pillow that Yun Shang leaned against with burning eyes. "Under your
pillow?" The Empress pondered for a while and said with a smile, "I don''t really want it. After all, it
belongs to the Emperor. It makes sense that His Majesty gave it to Prince Rui and There is nothing
wrong with His Majesty showing particr favor to his son. However, though Lord Hua Guo is Prince
Rui''s grandfather, he is not a member of the royal family. His majesty had divided the token into three
parts and given to Commandant Su, Minister Liu and Lord Hua Guo, in case that the token might be
taken by someone to do evil things."
The Empress stopped, and then smiled. "If Lord Hua Guo holds a whole token alone, I''m afraid it''s not
appropriate. The Imperial Guard was a military unit devoted to the protection of the Emperor, the royal
family and the Jin City. How could they be dispatched by an outsider? If there is something wrong, I''m
afraid His Majesty will me it on Prince Rui."
The empress sat down on the edge of Yun Shang''s bed, holding Yun Shang''s hand with a smile. "The
day before yesterday, Lord Hua Guo took the token to dispatch the imperial guards and search the His
Majesty all over the city. In this way, if someone finds it, he will guess that his majesty is in trouble. I''m
afraid he court is going to be in chaos. "
After the Empress talked for a long time, Yun Shang said with a little confusion, "The imperial guards?
What does it have to do with the imperial guards? "
The empress frowned and said. "Isn''t the ck token the imperial guard token?"
"Of course not..." Yun Shang shook her head and took out a ck token from under her pillow. The
Empress quickly took it, and her face suddenly darkened. The token was indeed ck, but it had a
word "Luo" on it.
Yun Shang replied momentarily, "The other day I knew that something happened to his majesty. After
breakfast the next morning, His Highness returned to the mansion and gave the token to me. This
token was used by His Highness when he was in the State of Ning to dispatch his secret guards. His
Highness asked me to take good care of myself as the Jin City is in chaos now. He also said that he
has arranged all the secret guards to protect me and that I could order them whenever I need. That''s
the reason why His Highness was captured. He only brought two secret guards with him that day,
rushing to the pce. "
Yun Shang lowered her head and seemed a little depressed. After a while, she looked up. "Later, the
physician found that I was pregnant. Then my grandfather asked to leave the matter to him. So I gave
the token to him. And the day before yesterday, Grandpa has asked grandma to give the token back to
me. Is there anything wrong with the token? " Yun Shang stared at the Empress and asked softly.
The Empress squinted, and a murderous look shed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered. After a
while, the Empress stood up and said with a smile, "it''s okay. Since it''s given by Prince Rui, you can
keep it and look at it when you miss him. Since you are healthy, I feel relieved. I''ve got to go." Then she
handed the token to Yun Shang.
Look at it when I miss him? Yun Shang took over the token and slightly paused. The Empress was
cursing the the Empress? Yun Shang took the token with a gentle smile. She sneered in her heart. The
Empress would never know that Yun Shang, the most vengeful person in the world, would keep this in
mind and make her pay for it.
"See you off, Your Majesty." Yun Shang didn''t show any emotion on her face. She waited until the
Empress went out of the room, and then a bloodthirsty smile burst out of her eyes.
Outside came the voice of Lady Hua Guo, which gradually faded away. Qian Zhuo went out, leaned
against the window, and watched for a while before she came back. "Your Highness, Lady Hua Guo
has sent the Empress out."
Yun Shang nodded, lifted the quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed. Qian Zhuo quickly crouched down
to put on Yun Shang''s shoes, and then took out her clothes to help Yun Shang put them on one by one.
No sooner had Yun Shang put on her clothes than Lady Hua Guo returned with a frown, "You are not
just pretending to be pregnant?"
Yun Shang''s heart jolted. She looked around and said, "The baby is fine. I''m a physician myself, and I
won''t put myself in any danger."
Lady Hua Guoughed scornfully and raised her voice, "You even don''t care your own health. How
could you ride around when you just got pregnant? If anything happens to your unborn baby, what will
you do? Pregnant woman is are more fragile and it will be difficult to cure after a miscarriage.
Although Lady Hua Guo was worried about Yun Shang''s unborn baby, she was also concerned about
Yun Shang''s health. Yun Shang felt warm in her heart. She immediately held Lady Hua Guo''s hand and
acted like a spoiled child. "I was just worrying about His Highness. He left the imperial guard token to
me. If I hadn''t used the trick, I wouldn''t have escaped. Grandmother, please trust me. I have never
risked my health and my unborn child. I have learned medical science since I was a child, and I know

how to protect myself. "
Although Lady Hua Guo still looked cold, she was much better than before. She snorted and said,
"Well, you were notpletely out of your mind that you went back by the carriage. If you had acted
like Qian Liu, I would''ve break your leg."
Yun Shang then realized that she hadn''t seen Qian Liu since she came back. Hearing Lady Hua Guo''s
words, she asked, "Where is Qian Liu? I''ve been back for a while, but why haven''t I seen her?
Lady Hua Guo cast a cold nce at Yun Shang and snorted, "Your maid was being so desperate. She
almost died when she ran to Lord Hua Guo''s mansion the other day, as if she hadn''t taken a rest for
several days. She looked as pale as a ghost. After riding for a long time, her thighs were full of
scratches and blood wasing out of some of them. She hadn''t have time to deal with it on the way,
so the flesh and trousers were mixed up with each other. When the physician help her deal with the
wound that day, I could hardly bear the sight of it. I told her to have a good rest in the room and ordered
two maids to look after her. I''m afraid she hasn''t known that you''re back. "
Yun Shang bit her lip and became anxious. She stood up, "I have to see her."
Lady Hua Guo didn''t stop her. Yun Shang asked Qian Zhuo to help her put on the fox fur cloak and
fetch the thermos. After that, she and Qian Zhuo went out and headed towards Qian Liu and Qian
Zhuo''s room.
While walking, Yun Shang whispered to Qian Zhuo behind her, "Haven''t you gone to the yard?"
Qian Zhuo also looked worried. Hearing Yun Shang''s question, she came back to sense and
answered, "No. I''ve been busy since I came back. There''s no time to go back to room."
The room where Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo lived was at the other end of the yard, where stood a row of
rooms. As Yun Shang came near the room, she smelt the medicine. She ran to the door in a hurry, and
heard a thin voice saying, "Sister Qian Liu, the medicine is still a little hot. Drink itter."
Qian Liu nodded. Yun Shang stepped in, and everyone in the room turned around. Joy filled Qian Liu''s
eyes. She lifted the quilt and was about to get off the bed.
Yun Shang hurriedly went to the bed and held her back. Then she sat down on the end of the bed,
"Don''t get up. You are so badly hurt."
Qian Zhuo asked the maid to leave. Then Yun Shang looked at Qian Liu reproachfully, "You always
persuade me to take good care of myself, but you have no mercy on yourself. It was an emergency, but
you don''t need to risk your life. Let me have a look at the injuries. I have a lot of good medicine. I''ll ask
Qian Zhuo to bring some to youter. You silly girl. You always look calm and cool. But sometimes you
are just so desperate."
Qian Liu smiled and said, "Don''t look, the wounds are ugly. It looks really terrible, but, In fact, it''s not
that serious. Lady Hua Guo has given me many valuable medicines and ordered the maids to apply
them for me. Don''t worry, Your Highness. I''ll be as energetic as before after a couple of days. "
Qian Zhuo stood beside Yun Shang, looking at Qian Liu with worry in his eyes. "Her Highness is right.
You are calmer than anyone else, but why didn''t you take care of yourself? You must recover as soon
as possible and serve Her Highness with me. It''s impossible for you to rest all the time. "
Qian Zhuo med Qian Liu, but full of concern in her tone.
Hearing Yun Shang and Qian Liu''s words, Qian Liu asked for forgiveness and quickly changed the
topic. "A lot of things have happened in the Jin City these days. The officials seemed to have heard the
news of His Majesty''s missing. Many officials are very active recently. I''ve sent some servants to
observe, ask around and record their actions. I''m free now, and I''ll sort it out for your highness. It
contains who they have contacted, their unusual behaviors and even their wives''. By the way, have you
heard that Lady Liu has gone? "
