Chapter 624 The Smell Of Blood


    The crowd rushed up. Luo Qingyan promptly held Yun Shang in his arms and stepped back. He


    frowned at the sight of the situation in the garden house.


    The seventh prince had been lifted up, but he seemed unconscious. Yun Shang looked at him from


    head to toe. She pressed her lips and didn''t say anything.


    "Send the seventh prince back to his room and send for the doctor." The empress gave an order with a

    frown. Then the butler came to his senses and answered yes. While sending the seventh prince back


    to the inner yard, he also sent for a doctor. The empress and some people who were close to the


    seventh prince all hurried into the inner yard. The butler quickly apologized again and told the guests to


    wait in the ce where they had rested for a while.


    Yun Shang found that the bride was left alone in the garden house, standing there without anyone


    noticing her. The handkerchief covering her head trembled slightly as if she was trembling.


    Yun Shang stopped the butler, who was in a hurry. She frowned and said, "Hurry up! Send your new


    master into the bridal chamber!"


    The butler took a look at the bride and frowned. He seemed to be in a dilemma. "But the wedding is not


    finished yet. I''m afraid it''s inappropriate to send her into the bridal chamber."


    Before Yun Shang could say anything, Lady Hua Guo sneered, "As a butler, how can you be so


    disrespectful? Although the ceremony is not finished yet, her name has already been written in the


    royal family records and no one can change it. If the emperor mes you, can you take the


    responsibility? "


    The butler responded submissively and let someone hold the bride into the courtyard.


    Lady Hua Guo stomped on her crutch angrily and followed them into the yard.


    Yun Shang frowned. "Your Highness, what do you think? I think the seventh prince did it on purpose.


    But today is his own wedding day. He is making fool of himself in front of so many people. He fainted


    on her own wedding ceremony. Well, it''s so..."


    Luo Qingyan gave a wry smile and stated in a cold tone, "It''s probably because a few days ago, when


    many officials in the court learnt that the emperor had given the imperial guard token to me, they


    no idea how many people have paid visits to our mansion. The seventh prince must have noticed that.


    Besides, his majesty didn''t show up on his wedding. That''s why he is making such a scene. But I think


    they also has other purposes."


    Luo Qingyan looked around, and found that all the people around dispersed, and there was no one in


    the garden house. Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and said, "I have to go to the backyard to see


    my seventh brother. But I can''t rest assured if you stay alone. How about I ask someone to send you


    back home? If anyone asks about youter, I will tell them that you feel ufortable all of a sudden


    and leave first."


    "It''s not that serious. I just want to apany grandma and talk with the bride in the bridal room. After


    all this, I''m afraid that Yutong must be very sad..." Yun Shang smiled.


    Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and agreed, but still couldn''t help reminding Yun Shang, "It was


    chaotic in the garden house just now. It is possible that someone might seize the chance to do


    something. Be careful." He hesitated for a while, and continued, "Never mind. I''ll walk you to the bridal


    room."


    Yun Shang answered with a smile and went into the inner yard with Luo Qingyan. Both of them had no


    idea where the bridal chamber was. When they saw a servant running past them, they grabbed the


    servant and asked, "Where is the bridal chamber?"


    The servant took a look at Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan and pointed at an arch. "Walk through the


    arch, you can see the bridal room after a long corridor. There are many rednterns hanging out of the


    room and red words of "wedding" everywhere.


    Luo Qingyan nodded and walked with Yun Shang towards the arch pointed by the servant.


    Yun Shang had never been to the courtyard of the seventh prince. The courtyard reminded her of


    Prince Jing''s Mansion in the State of Ning. She could not help butugh.


    "This is the style of the mansion of the princes who haven''t married. Rough style. But the Seventh


    Prince''s Mansion is better than Prince Jing''s Mansion before. At least, he trimmed the flowers, trees


    and flowers neatly. "


    Hearing this, Luo Qingyan smiled. "I stayed at the border all year round and didn''t bother to pay


    attention to the mansion then. But I''m afraid the seventh prince was showing this on purpose. "


    The gallery was crowded with flowerpots, which looked a bit dismal because the flowers hadn''t


    bloomed yet. On one side of the gallery was the bamboo, and on the other side was a smallke.


    Across the long corridor, she saw the bridal room which was decorated with rednterns and words of


    "wedding" as the servant said.


    Yun Shang smiled, "Well, I''ve arrived. You go to see the seventh prince first. The empress is also there,


    and if you go toote, I''m afraid you''ll be used ofcking fraternity.


    Luo Qingyan nodded, turned to Yun Shang, and ordered Qian Zhuo and the other maids behind her,


    "Protect your highness well."


    Everyone hurriedly responded, and then Luo Qingyan turned and left.


    Qian Zhuo smiled, "Since his highness knew you are pregnant, he has been wishing to keep you with


    him all the time."


    Yun Shang giggled, too. She patted Qian Zhuo''s hand and said, "Nonsense."


    After watching Luo Qingyan''s figure fading away, Yun Shang turned and walked towards the bridal


    chamber. There was not even a servant at the door of the bridal chamber. Yun Shang frowned with


    displeasure. Although not too familiar with Hua Yutong, Yun Shang liked her temper. As a matter of


    fact, when she heard that she was appointed to the seventh prince by his majesty, she knew that Hua


    Yutong would have a hard time in the future. It was not until she saw what had happened today that


    she was able to understand how hard.


    If the marriage wasn''t granted by the emperor, the seventh prince even wouldn''t have bothered to


    pretend.


    Yun Shang took a few more steps towards the courtyard, and suddenly stopped.


    "What''s wrong, your highness?" Qian Zhuo asked.


    Yun Shang frowned and stepped back. "Let''s go back. There is a smell of blood in the yard, very


    strong." Although she had no unusual reactions since she was pregnant, she was more sensitive to the


    smell of blood.


    Qian Zhuo ordered the maids and the secret guards around to be on alert, protecting Yun Shang on the


    way back. Yun Shang stopped again and ordered Qian Zhuo to send a few secret guards to see if there


    were any bridal chamber in the yard, and whether Lady Hua Guo and the bride were in it.


    Qian Zhuo sent people to check the situation, but she didn''t allow Yun Shang to stay there. She quickly


    escorted Yun Shang to the garden house. When they were near the garden house, there were more


    people.


    Yun Shang returned to the room where she took a rest earlier in the morning, in which several


    princesses also rested. Yun Shang was a little relieved. She quickly ordered Qian Zhuo to send


    someone to report to Luo Qingyan and tell him what had happened.


    Not long after, a secret guard sent a signal. Qian Zhuo walked to him in a hurry and then came back,


    whispering something in Yun Shang''s ear.


    Yun Shang frowned and nodded, saying nothing.


    Before long, Luo Qingyan came back in a hurry. He held Yun Shang and asked softly, "Are you all


    right?"


    Yun Shang shook her head, "I''m fine. I just heard from the secret guard that Liu Chuchu has died."


    Luo Qingyan nodded and continued, "I''ve sent someone to the bridal chamber and find Lady Hua Guo.


    She and the bride are fine."


    Yun Shang was finally relieved.


    "I''m afraid it will be chaotic here today. You''d better go back. The servant just led us to the yard, and I''m


    afraid that someone has deliberately framed us. " Without giving Yun Shang a chance to refuse, Luo


    Qingyan held her into his arms and raised his voice so that everyone in the room could hear.


    "Why did you feel a stomachache after just walking for a while in the yard? The doctor said that the


    seventh prince might not wake up soon. There''s nothing we can do to help him. Let''s go back."


    Then he took Yun Shang out of the room and walked to the gate.


    Qian Zhuo had already asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the gate of the seventh prince''s


    mansion. Luo Qingyan helped Yun Shang into the carriage and was about to step on it when a voice


    with a certain anxiety came, "Prince Rui! Prince Rui..."


    Luo Qingyan slightly paused and turned around. Yun Shang also heard the noise. She opened the


    curtains and looked over.


    It was the butler of the seventh prince. He looked a little worried. "Prince Rui, his highness is still in a


    may be able to cure him. Please bring Lady Ray to see him."


    Luo Qingyan nced at Yun Shang and said with a frown, "I''m really sorry. Lady Rui has some


    abdominal pain after she has just walked for a while. I''m afraid she can''t help."


    The butler was also in a dilemma. He said in a hurry, "Your Highness, since Lady Rui has a


    stomachache, you shouldn''t be in such a hurry to go back home. The doctors in your mansion are all


    here. Let them check on her. Then she could take a pulse for the seventh prince when she gets better."


    Yun Shang kept silent for a while. She saw that the people gathered around to pay attention to what


    was going on here, so she made a decision and said gently, "Your Highness, I''m all right. I just have a


    little abdominal pain. What the butler said is right. Doctors are all in the mansion of the seventh prince.


    I''ll let them check for me. The seventh prince is your brother. Now that the butler asked, I should try to


    help. "


    Luo Qingyan was still frowning. Hearing Yun Shang''s words, he knew that he couldn''t refuse, so he


    helped Yun Shang out of the carriage.
