Chapter 611 Rumors


    Lady Hua Guo sighed, "It has been ten days since Qingyan was missing. There''s still no news. I''m


    really worried about him. The imperial guards have also been looking for him for two days. When can


    they get some clues? "


    Yun Shang was also very worried. Seeing that Lady Hua Guo frowned and worried, sheforted,


    "His Highness deliberately sent himself to the kidnapper and that morning when he left, he left the


    secret guards in the mansion. He wouldn''t have taken the risk if he didn''t have full assurance. Please


    don''t worry, mother. I believe there will be news soon."


    Lady Hua Guo patted Yun Shang on the hand, and nodded, "I hope so. Qingyan hasn''t known that he


    will be a father soon. I''m sure he''ll be very happy if he knows this. "


    Hearing her words, Yun Shang was also started looking forward to the birth of the baby. Her pregnancy


    made both surprised and delighted, but less delighted with no one to share with. If Luo Qingyan knows


    this, he must be very happy. He has been wanted a baby for long.


    Lady Hua Guo stared at Yun Shang for a while before she said with a smile, "I was so worried when I


    heard that you were pregnant and left the Jin City secretly. Now that you and the unborn baby are all


    fine, I''m relieved. I haven''t been back to my mansion for several days. I will go back to have a look.


    Your mansion is so big and you are the only master here with no one to talk with. Why don''t youe


    with me to Lord Hua Guo''s mansion? I felt you get on quite well with my granddaughter-inw..."


    Yun Shang thought for a while and shook her head. "I''ll stay here and wait for His Highness. He will feel


    lonely and ufortable if few people are in the mansion when hees back."


    "Well, you are so good to my poker faced grandson. I''ll go to pack up and return to my mansion. I''ll


    Noticing that grandmother''s legs were a little stiff, Yun Shang followed her out of the inner room, and


    said gently, "It''s getting colder these days. I''ll take some tonics for you and grandpa to your mansion


    when I''m free. You could boil and drink it and your knee joints won''t hurt so much even on the cold and


    wet days."


    Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang and smiled, "you have a pair of sharp eyes. I wander around every


    day in your mansion, and no one found that. But you''ve noticed it just after I walked a few steps. I''ve


    heard that your medical skills are also good. Then I''ll wait for your tonics."


    Yun Shang escorted Lady Hua Guo back to her room, and watched her maids packing. Yun Shang


    asked the servant to prepare the carriage and put a thick cushion made of fox fur on the stool. Then


    she sent someone to put a brazier in it to warm the carriage up.


    Looking at Yun Shang, a smile emerged on Lady Hua Guo''s face.

    As there were many people watching outside, Yun Shang sent her to the door and returned to the yard.


    As soon as she entered, she saw the butler pacing back and forth outside the room, as if waiting for


    her.


    "Is there anything wrong?" Yun Shang walked past the butler and gave the fox fur cloak to Qian Zhuo.


    Then she sat down on the bench, picked up a cup of hot tea and covered her hands with it. After that,


    she raised her head to look at the butler.


    The butler hastened to say, "I have sent someone to find the little beggar and a painter. But the beggar


    can''t remember the appearance of the woman no matter how the painter asked. I''m afraid it won''t


    work."


    Yun Shang nodded. This was just as she expected. And she didn''t hold much hope.


    "That''s all right. Tell the little beggar, if you meet that woman in the street, remember to tell us. Let him


    go." Yun Shang lowered her head, slightly lifted the foam off the cup, and whispered.


    The butler nodded. When he was about to leave, Yun Shang added, "Send someone to find out where


    Lady Liu went and whom she had met on the day when she came to our mansion."


    The butler responded. Yun Shang raised her eyes to the butler, and thought for a moment. It seemed


    that she had no other things to order, so she waved at him to leave.


    Yun Shang drank a cup of tea and sat on the couch to read. After a while, she heard Qian Yin talking


    outside. A hint of surprise shed in Yun Shang''s eyes. She looked up at the door with a smile, and just


    as she expected, Qian Yin walked in. As soon as she entered the room, she quickly took her cloak off


    and handed it to the maid next to her. "Take it out and dry it up. "It suddenly began to rain outside and


    there was some snow in the rain. It''s not big, but it''s a little cold. " Then she raised her head and looked


    at Yun Shang, "Her Highness. I wille to chat with you after warming myself up beside the brazier. I


    can''t let the cold air on me make you chill."


    Yun Shang smiled: "I''m not that delicate."


    Qian Yin exaggerated and said, "But you are pregnant now." Then she looked around the room and


    said to the maid who was carrying a tea pot, "When I came here, I saw the plum blossoms by theke


    were in bloom. Her Highness likes plum blossoms all the time, but she can''t even smell them with the


    windows closed. Go to cut some branches and put them in the vase. Pick those with more flower buds,


    then we can keep them longer."


    The maid looked at Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled, "Put the teapot on the table. Qian Yin asked you to


    do other things, so let her pour the tea for me." The maid said yes, put down the teapot and walked out.


    Qian Zhuo alsoughed. "Since Qian Yin came, I feel that everything has done by her. Luckily, Qian Yin


    is married. Otherwise, I''m afraid that I will lost Your Highness''s favor."


    "Haha..." Qian Yin burst intoughter as she heard her words. She walked to the bench and sat down.


    "I feel warm now. My hands are numb with cold when I walked up here just now."


    Then she reached for the teapot, and poured Yun Shang a cup of tea. "The pce guards are


    approaching. But they go back not as quietly as when they went out of the city. I''m afraid they will


    cause a panic. What should we do, Your Highness?"


    Yun Shang smiled, put the book aside, and sat up a little. Then she said, "I''ll ask Liu Ming to go to the


    pce and meet the Empress with the token of the pce guardmander. He could told the


    Empress that His Majesty had ordered the imperial army to the Qian City to annihte the hidden


    troops of the Eldest Princess and afterpleting the task, he suddenly heard that His Majesty was


    missing, so he rushed back to the Jin City to assist the imperial guards to investigate it thoroughly. "


    Qian Yin nodded, "Okay, I will send a message to Commander Liu." The pce guards have always


    been mysterious. They will draw much attention aftering back in a big way, then it will be harder for


    them to hide in the city again."


    "It''s none of our business. When His Majestyes back, he will handle it." Yun Shang smiled with a


    bit of cunning. She looked at Qian Yin with a smile and said jokingly, "You look much better than before.


    I''m sure Luo Ying is being very good to you..."


    Qian Yin red at Yun Shang andined, "Your Highness, I''m talking something serious with


    you." Then she quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Your Highness, someone has visited Lady Shu


    secretly a few days ago."


    Lady Shu? Yun Shang hadn''t heard the name for a long time. She frowned and smiled. "Who is it?


    Lady Shu has been in the Cold Pce for a long time, but someone is thinking about her."


    Qian Yin shook her head, "The Imperial Pce is heavily guarded recently. The news is sent out by


    Qian Qian. She said that the one masked his face and he is so good at Qinggong that the secret failed


    to catch up with him. But he seems to be familiar with the environment of the Imperial Pce. He must


    be from the pce."


    Yun Shang grinned and said in a low voice, "Go on watching the Cold Pce, the cat wille out of


    the bag. We don''t have time to find out who the one is."


    Then she took another sip of tea and looked up at Qian Yin. "Well, how long has Lady Liu died?" Is


    there any funeral?"


    Qian Yin turned her head and thought before answering, "It''s been five days. No funeral yet. It''s said


    that funerals will be hold seven dayster after death in the State of Xia."


    "Then it will be the day after tomorrow." Yun Shang murmured.


    Qian Yin hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do? You are pregnant now. It will be ominous to go to


    the funeral. Now the whole Jin City knows that your pregnancy is not stable and you need to have a


    rest quietly. If the people of the Liu n invite you, you could take it as an excuse to refuse. "


    Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing, "Ominous? I didn''t say I''m going. I''m just checking. Grandmother


    told me that I could ask Lady Liu''s maids something about Lady Liu. I think it must be chaos at the


    funeral, so I can send someone to take one of Lady Liu''s maid out."


    Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Qian Yin was a little relieved. She said, "I''ll ask someone to make an


    arrangement. By the way, there are some rumors out there about the death of Lady Liu. It was said that


    three or four days before her death, she had a big fight with Minister Liu, which almost made her faint


    with anger."
