Chapter 639 Consolidate At Every Step
Yun Shang fixed her eyes on Lady Hui, thinking that it was known to all that she was rmended
into the pce by Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan''s, so It would be strange if she didn''t say something.
"Your Majesty, It seems that Lady Hui has some slight symptoms of poisoning." Yun Shang said
indifferently with a frown, "Your Majesty, may I take a pulse for Lady Hui?"
After thinking for a while, Xia Huanyu nodded and said, "okay."
Yun Shang curtsied. Luo Qingyan hurried to help her stand up, passed through the middle of the hall,
and went to Lady Hui.
"Lady Hui?" Yun Shang spoke softly.
Hearing this, Lin Youran hurriedly reached out her hand. Yun Shang took her pulse carefully and stared
at her pale face. After a while, Yun Shang turned around and bowed to the emperor. "Congrattions,
your majesty. Lady Hui is pregnant."
Silence reigned in the hall for a while. As Yun Shang saw the empress suddenly tightened her hand
and sharp nail cover passed by her palm, she frowned sharply. But she quickly reacted and raised a
smile. "Really? Lady Hui is pregnant? Congrattions, your majesty! "
The crowd followed, "Congrattions, your majesty."
Staring at Yun Shang for a moment, Xia Huanyu kept silent and then smiled. "Excellent. Good things
Yun Shang smiled and said, "But, there is something wrong..."
The hall quieted down again and everyone looked at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang hesitated for a moment before she said, "I''m not a good doctor. It''s better to have the
imperial physician treat her."
"What happened? Don''t worry. Why are you hesitating? " Xia Huanyu looked at Yun Shang coldly.
"I''m afraid she has eaten or used something unclean in the pce. If I''m right, she should have taken
some musk or saffron flower. Luckily, not too much yet. The one who poisoned her may have been
trying to gradually make her childless. However, they didn''t expect she could get pregnant at such a
short time. Because of this, she suffers from severe sickness asionally. I''m afraid that if she
continues to do so, she might lose her baby. " Yun Shang hurriedly asked.
Frowning slightly, Xia Huanyu turned to the empress and asked, "What do you think about it?"
The empress looked embarrassed too. Hearing Xia Huanyu''s question, she mmed her hand on the
table and eximed, "How could there be such an insidious person in the imperial household who
dares murder the royal child. I''ll investigate it thoroughly and give Lady Hui an exnation."
Lady Hui looked pale and kept vomiting as if she was very ufortable.
The empress added, "It seems like Lady Hui is badly sick. Now that she is pregnant and in poor health,
escort her back early and send for an imperial physician to see and give her some medicine to relieve
her."
Xia Huanyu nodded and said, "Send her back to the pce."
Yun Shang winked at Ning Qian. Ning Qian rose from her seat and said, "I''m afraid it''s not appropriate,
your majesty."
"Really?" Ning Qian looked at Ning Qian, as if wondering why she stood out at this time.
The empress looked even angrier. She asked, gritting her teeth, "Lady Xiang said it was inappropriate.
Why?"
"Lady Rui said she was like this because she had eaten or used something unclean. And if she kept
doing this, the baby in her belly would be in danger. If I didn''t guess wrong, the impure stuff must have
been put in Lady Hui''s pce. Now we still haven''t figured out what it is, but if Lady Hui go back to her
pce again. I''m afraid... " Ning Qian bit her lips and said nothing. But everyone understood what she
meant. She was afraid that Lady Hui would lose her baby soon.
Hearing what Lady Xiang said, Lady Hui stepped back and kept covering her belly, "I''m not going back.
I''m not going back."
Xia Huanyu pondered for a while and rotated the jade ring on his thumb. After a long time of silence, he
asked Ning Qian, "Do you have some idea?"
Ning Qian thought for a while, and curtsied. "It would be toote to clean up a new pce now. After
all, Lady Hui looks really bad. There was a side hall in my Xiang Zhu Pce. Although there was no
one living in it, it was clean enough for it was cleaned every day. We could temporarily settle her in the
side hall and she could move out when the new pce is ready."

Both Xia Huanyu and Su Ruji, as well as the others were puzzled. As a matter of fact, Lady Hui was
like a hot potato that everyone should keep away from her, for fear of getting into trouble. But they
didn''t expect that there were still one who wanted to hold it.
The empress sneered. She responded quickly, "Since Lady Xiang wants, then let it be."
Hearing Lady Hui repeatedly expressed her gratitude, Ning Qian smiled and said, "In this case, I''ll go
back with Lady Hui to order servants to clean up and send for an imperial physician to check her."
Xia Huanyu nodded. "Go ahead. After the banquet, I will go to the Xiang Zhu Pce."
Then she held Lady Hui''s arm and left the Taiji hall.
It''s just the beginning of a good show.
Looking at their backs, Yun Shang smiled faintly. After a while, she curtsied to Xia Huanyu and the
empress. With Luo Qingyan''s help, Yun Shang went back to her seat.
Xia Huanyu patted at the table lightly and said, "I heard that Lady Rui is also pregnant?"
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, "Yes."
Xia Huanyu nodded and said, "Excellent. Now that you have a child, you should take the responsibility."
What Xia Huanyu said drew the attention of everybody present who was listening carefully. In an
instant, the atmosphere in the hall became delicate.
The corners of Yun Shang''s mouth curved into a smile secretly. Xia Huanyu''s way of averting the
attention of the crowd was extremely simple and effective.
More than half of the people in the hall were guessing what Xia Huanyu was implying just now. The
other half were thinking about Lady Hui''s pregnancy thing.
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle, but Xia Huanyu pretended not to know. He turned his head to
look at the empress and said indifferently, "What''s the next program?"
Disturbed, it would be awkward if the empress still rmends Zhao Xianwu as nned. The
empress was silent for a moment before she said, "The next one will be a song of Chu."
As the music began, Yun Shang turned to look at Luo Qingyan, "I had a lot of fruit wine just now. I need
to go to the bathroom."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan stood up and said, "I''ll go with you."
Yun Shang giggled, "Nonsense. How would go to the toilet with me? I have Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo with
me. Today is a banquet and the pce is strictly guarded. Nothing will happen. I''ll be back soon."
Luo Qingyan nodded gently. Yun Shang stood up and took Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo out.
It was a little cold outside. Qin Yi put a cloak on Yun Shang. Yun Shang frowned. "Where?"
Qin Yi said gently, "Your Highness, follow me." So she went to the inner pce, bypassing the Tai Chi
pce.
From time to time, guards passed by Yun Shang and didn''t stop them when they saw her face and her
clothes. Yun Shang asked gently, "Are the followersing up?"
Qian Zhuo responded, "They are following."
When they passed a remote corner of the imperial garden, Yun Shang heard someone sobbing. Yun
Shang''s eyes lit up as she walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
The weeping woman was wearing a white gauze skirt without even a cloak. Perhaps because of the
cold, her body was trembling.
Yun Shang called softly, "Lady?"
The woman seemed to be startled. She shivered and looked up at Yun Shang. With the light of the
somewhat ruined.
The woman seemed to recognize Yun Shang. She was surprised and asked with uncertainty, "Your
Highness?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Are you the woman dancing in the moon in the hall just now?"
The woman nodded. After a short silence, she said, "I''ve met you before, your highness. But you might
have forgotten that I offended Princess Qianling in the imperial garden."
Yun Shang acted as if she suddenly remembered, "You are the the chosendy new in the pce and
your name is Zhao Xianwu, right?"
Zhao Xianwu nodded and stood up, "Why is your highness here but not in the Taiji Pce?"
Yun Shang smiled, "It''s a bit stuffy there. I''ming out for some fresh air. Why are you crying so
sadly?"
Zhao Xianwu paused and shook her head, "Maybe it''s because it''s new year''s Eve today, I just miss
miss my family so much." Then she stood up and said, "I''m going back to the Yuxiu Pce..."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "It''s getting dark and it''s not easy to walk through the imperial
road. Qian Zhuo, give thentern to thedy."
Qian Zhuo hurriedly hand thentern to her. Noticing that the maid behind Yun Shang still had antern
in her hand, she didn''t refuse and took thentern walking to the direction of the Yuxiu Pce.
Watching the fading light, Yun Shang smiled, "She is a good girl, but it''s a pity that..."
Yun Shang turned around and whispered, "Let''s go. It''s time to go back."
