Chapter 698 The Meaning Beyond The Emperor''s Words
It''s been a long time since Yun Shang heard about the Eldest Princess. She smiled and said, "I thought
she wouldn''t leave the Jin City. People like the Eldest Princess were so desperate for power. She
wouldn''t go far if she thinks she still has the chance. But she is really daring. If she is caught by the
emperor, I''m afraid she will suffer. "
Ning Qian nodded. "But her n was almost ruined by Your Highness. I''m afraid that she will take
revenge on you. You are pregnant now. You must be careful."
Yun Shang replied in a low voice and walked out of the Xiang Zhu Pce.
Yun Shang stopped at the imperial garden. She was lost in thought. It wasn''t difficult to change one''s
pulse, but it must be done from the food. Ning Qian was not careless person. The Xiang Zhu Pce
was where she lived, and she wouldn''t put herself in danger. Her attendants must be people trusted by
her, and she had faith in Ning Qian''s loyalty.
Yun Shang''s eyes darkened. She pressed her lips and silently looked at the plum blossoms in the
imperial garden. If someone could y tricks on Ning Qian who has been on alert and careful enough,
the opponent could not be underestimated.
Yun Shang was still immersed in her own thoughts when Qin Yi saw someoneing from a long
distance. She quickly stepped forward, walked behind Yun Shang, and whispered, "Your Highness, His
Majesty ising."
Yun Shang came to her senses and looked up. She saw that Xia Huanyu was still wearing the court
uniform, followed by Liu Wenan and a few maids and eunuchs. It was toote to avoid him, Yun Shang
walked up to him with Qin Yi.
"Your Majesty." Yun Shang curtsied to Xia Huanyu.
Xia Huanyu looked at Yun Shang indifferently and nodded slightly. "Get up."
When Yun Shang got up, Xia Huanyu looked into the distance. "Did you juste out of the Xiang Zhu
Pce?"
Yun Shang knew that no secret in the pce could be hidden from Xia Huanyu. Besides, it''s not a

secret, so she replied with a smile, "Yes. I entered the pce to greet the Empress. But I didn''t expect
to hear that Lady Xiang is pregnant. So I came there."
"Yes, it is indeed a good news," Xia Huanyu said in a pleasant voice, "You have good medical skills. If
you are free, you couls take a pulse for Lady Xiang and check the condition of the baby."
Hearing that, a touch of inquiry shed in Yun Shang''s eyes. She smiled and said in a very rxed
tone, "Your Majesty, I''m not able to be a doctor, but I do always take pulse for people. I have done it in
the Xiang Zhu Pce just now." Lady Xiang has been pregnant for less than a month. Her slippery
pulse hasn''t be obvious, but she should be all right. Please rest assured.
Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Xia Huanyu nodded with a smile. "Now that you have said so, I''m
relieved."
Yun Shang sensed that Xia Huanyu had some meaning beyond his words. She thought for a while and
realized that she might just overthink.
After a pause, Xia Huanyu added, "it''ste now. I saw you were about to leave the pce just now. You
could leave now."
Yun Shang did another curtsy to him and watched him pass her. It was a long time before she stood
up.
"Let''s go back," Yun Shang whispered to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi nodded and followed Yun Shang out of the pce. After they got on the carriage, Qin Yi asked,
"Will Your Highness still go to Yuan mansion tomorrow?"
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and nodded slightly, "Yes. I''m really tired these days. It''s good to go
out and rx."
Back in the yard, the maid said someone had visited Luo Qingyan and they were talking in the study.
Yun Shang nodded, took off her cloak, andy down on the couch. Feeling relieved, she took the fruit
tea from Qin Yi, and drank it with great gulp. Yun Shang handed the teacup back to Qin Yi and then just
stared nkly at the plum blossoms on the screen.
Qin Yi thought there was something wrong with the screen, so she cast nces at it but find nothing.
When Luo Qingyan returned to the room and saw this, he raise his head to look at Qin Yi. Qin Yi bowed
to him and left quietly.
Luo Qingyan walked to a chair and sat down beside the bench. He stretched out his hand and covered
Yun Shang''s eyes. Yun Shang came to her senses and smiled at Luo Qingyan. "Have you finished?"
Luo Qingyan answered in a soft voice and released her hand from Yun Shang''s eyes. "What were you
thinking just now? Did you encounter any tough thing? Is Ning Qian all right? "
Yun Shang smiled and sighed before saying, "She''s fine. She''s pregnant."
Luo Qingyan was surprised and the smile on his face disappeared. After a long while, he concealed his
emotions and smiled again. "Really? That''s a good thing. Why don''t you look happy at all? "
Happy? Yun Shang raised her hand and touched her face. Her smile turned colder. "Because I have
sensed conspiracy. And this time, it''s very intense." Then she turned to Luo Qingyan and said, "Ning
Qian has been taking the pills. It''s impossible for her to get pregnant. Besides, I took her pulse. The
slippery pulse is not obvious, but the imperial physicians are very sure that Ning Qian is pregnant."
Yun Shangy back on her bench. She was silent for a long time before she sighed softly. "From Feng
Ming to Lady Xian, and the war with the State of Yng, as well as Ning Qian''s pregnancy, I always felt
that someone nned this, and we were the target."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang''s shoulder with a smile, "So you are still upset about these
things. Don''t worry. I''ve sent someone to investigate. They won''t have any chance."
Yun Shang nodded slightly. After a pause, she said, "His Majesty must be investigating the matter of
the Eldest Princess. Ning Qian happened to hear someone report to His Majesty that she is around the
Jin City."
A murderous look shed in Luo Qingyan''s eyes, and his smile grew colder. "Well, I always thought
that she would not hide far away, but she is very good at hiding. We have many spies in the city, but
she still didn''t get caught. She is really capable."
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said with a smile, "Indeed. It''s not easy to hide one''s real
ambition for such a long time."
