Chapter 695 Unforeseen Event
After a long while, Yun Shang felt the bed sink a little. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Luo
Qingyan''s face smiling at her. She also smiled. After getting close to him, she fell asleep again.
Yun Shang was still in a daze when she heard Luo Qingyan''s voice ringing in her ear, "Shang''er, wake
up. There''s news from the pce that Lady Xiang was poisoned and in danger."
Yun Shang heard and frowned. She turned over and wanted to go on sleeping. Suddenly, she realized
that the Lady Xiang was Ning Qian. She was surprised and sat up.
Luo Qingyan was also startled by Yun Shang. He paused for a moment before saying quickly, "Be
careful. Don''t hurt yourself."
Yun Shang quickly lifted the quilt and stood up from the bed. After putting on her shoes, Qin Yi stepped
forward to help Yun Shang change her clothes.
Yun Shang walked to the dresser quickly and asked, "What happened? Why was Ning Qian poisoned
all of a sudden? "
Qin Yi shook her head, "I don''t know yet. The secret guard reported that Lady Xiang was poisoned and
it wasn''t serious. They didn''t tell the details."
Yun Shang frowned and watched Qin Yi''s moves in the bronze mirror. "Don''t bother. Just make a
simple bun."
Qin Yi responded. But Luo Qingyan, who was standing by, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Make
her highness the bun she always has when she goes to the pce." After that, he turned to Yun Shang
and exined, "The incident hasn''t been spread in the pce. Besides, no one knows that Lady Xiang
works for you. If you rush into the pce, they will suspect that you have ced many informers in the
pce and that you have a special rtionship with Lady Xiang.
Catching Yun Shang''s attention, Luo Qingyan added, "You can''t go straight to the Xiang Zhu Pce
after you get dressed up. You should go to the Wei Yang Pce first to greet the Empress. Right now,
the Empress should be in the Xiang Zhu Pce. Then it will be natural for you to go there and no one
can find any fault. You have to keep calm now. You know, the more flustered you are, the more
dangerous Ning Qian is. "
Perhaps Yun Shang was influenced by Luo Qingyan''sposure, and she also slowly calmed down.
After a long time of silence, she took a deep breath and said to Qin Yi: "Make me a Zhui Ma Braids."
Qin Yi responded. "After finishing the bun, I''ll pick a hairpin myself, and you just go to pick some new
stuffs from the things Grandpa brought. I''ll bring them into the pceter."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, you got it."
Qin Yi hurriedlybed Yun Shang''s hair. Yun Shang sat there quietly for a long time. Then Qin Yi put
theb down and curtsied to Yun Shang, "I''m going to prepare."
Yun Shang gently nodded, opened the make-up box beside her. After a while, she chose a purple
gemstone peacock hairpin, and then sat in front of the bronze mirror, staring at the woman in the
bronze mirror. Luo Qingyan stepped forward and searched in the make-up box. He put a purple flower
hairpin on Yun Shang''s hairpin and said with a smile, "It hasn''t been long after the Lantern Festival, so
you''d better be more formal."
After a while, Qin Yi brought two boxes in and handed them to Yun Shang. "Your Highness, this
bracelet is for the Empress. The color of this coral is red, and it''s a rare treasure. The pair of turquoise
earrings is prepared for Lady Xiang. Few people wear turquoise jewelries as it''s not produced in the
State of Xia."
Yun Shang stared at the two boxes for a while before she nodded and stood up. "The things you
choose are extremely proper." Then she walked out of the mansion quickly and went to the pce in
her carriage.
Though anxious as she was, Yun Shang listened to Luo Qingyan and went to the Weiyang Pce first

instead of going to the Xiang Zhu Pce after she entered the pce. When attendants in the Wei
Yang Pce saw her, they bowed and weed her. Yun Shang was calm on the face and asked the
maid who took her into the pce, "Is her majesty still sleeping?"
The servant quickly replied: "Your Highness, the Empress has gone to the Xiang Zhu Pce. I''ll
prepare tea for you. Please wait here for a moment."
Yun Shang''s fingers trembled slightly. She was about to say something, but finally she said nothing.
She just waited quietly for the maid to serve the tea. She returned to her seat and sat for about a
quarter of an hour. Then she raised her eyes and smiled faintly. "It seems that the Empress won''te
backter. I''m leaving for the Xiang Zhu Pce."
Then she stood up and went out. Just out of the Wei Yang Pce, she saw the Empressing with
several concubines.
Yun Shang stopped, but secretly clenched her hands in the sleeves.
Seeing Yun Shang, the Empress frowned slightly and asked, "Lady Rui, where are you going?"
Yun Shang made a curtsy to the Empress and said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, I''m here to greet
Your Majesty. I heard that you went to the Xiang Zhu Pce. I''ve been waiting here for a while and was
about to leave for the Xiang Zhu Pce."
The empress''s eyes shed with a touch of light, and her mouth curved up slightly, but her eyes were a
bit cold. "Oh? Really? Since I''m back now,e in and have some tea."
Then she walked in with the concubines.
Yun Shang clenched her teeth and waited quietly for the Empress to enter the Weiyang Pce. Then
she straightened up and followed the Empress.
"Your Highness..." Qin Yi called softly behind Yun Shang.
Looking at the Empress''s back, Yun Shang slowed dowm her steps. She turned to Qin Yi and said,
"Give me the box with coral bracelets, and you take the earrings to the Xiang Zhu Pce."
Qin Yi responded, and handed a small box to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang took it over and quickly followed the others into the Weiyang Pce.
The empress gave them a seat. Yun Shang sat down and nced around the hall, finding many
strangers.
While she was lost in thought, the voice of the Empress was heard, "Lady Rui, Do youe here only
to greet me?"
