Chapter 701 Rain On The ntain Leaves


    Yun Shang was indeed here to rx, but Luo Qingyan didn''t. Looking at Luo Qingyan, who had been


    here in the Yuan mansion.


    It was getting dark. After Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan had supper, Yun Shang went to bed early. Luo


    Qingyan was still reading a book under the light. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking at him, he smiled


    and said, "I''ve asked the secret guards to investigate something and they haven''te back yet. I''ll


    wait a little longer. You should rest early."


    Yun Shang nodded to him. She raised her hand and put down the bed curtain. It was quiet in the room.


    It began to rain outside. The rain fell on the ntain leaves. The constant pattering of raindrops


    mingled with the sound of turning the pages, making her feel peaceful inside.


    Yun Shang soon fell asleep and only vaguely heard someone talking. She recognized that it was Luo


    Qingyan''s voice, then turned over and went on sleeping.


    She woke up in the middle of the night. There was no one beside her, and dim light could be seen


    through the bed curtain. Unknowing what time it was, she raised the bed curtain and looked at it. Luo


    Qingyan was still reading books under the light. Seeing that Yun Shang was awake, he was also a little


    stunned. He stood up and walked to Yun Shang, with a bit of apology. "But I''m sorry."Did I wake you


    up? "


    Yun Shang shook her head with a smile, "I just had a dream, and woke up all of a sudden. ''what time is


    it now? Hasn''t the shadow guarde back? "


    "It''s 2 o''clock." Then Luo Qingyan sat down beside the bed and held Yun Shang on hisps. "My secret


    guard found the whereabouts of the Eldest Princess in the Jin City, and I have ordered them to follow


    up."


    "The Eldest Princess?" Yun Shang was surprised. She just heard the news from Ning Qian yesterday,


    and the Eldest Princess suddenly appeared today after they went out of the city. It''s such a


    coincidence.


    Luo Qingyan nodded. He slipped his hand through Yun Shang''s hair and said with a smile, "During our


    nap, the secret guard reported that they seemed to have found the traces of the Eldest Princess."


    "How did they find it?" Yun Shang frowned and asked.

    "The spy I install in the city found it. He saw the Eldest Princess appear in a rice store. She bought fifty


    pounds of rice and rode out of the city. The secret guard followed her all the way and found that she


    lived on a mountain outside the Jin city. It''s a thatched cottage provided for the hunters on the mountain


    where they went hunting. There were very few hunters going to the mountain in winter. She must have


    lived there for several days. " Luo Qingyan said softly.


    "And she is very vignt. She raised a lot of strange birds outside the cottage. As soon as the secret


    guard approached, the bird made a sound and then the princess quickly fled. There is no news yet."


    Yun Shang was surprised and said gently, "As far as I know, she doesn''t know kung fu at all."


    Luo Qingyan nodded gently, "but she seems to live in the mountain forest for a long time and is very


    familiar with the environment in the forest. The winter forest is full of fog and miasma, so it is very


    difficult for the secret guards to search her."


    Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "In this case, it will be easier to track her down at night,


    right?"


    Luo Qingyan smiled, bent over, and kissed Yun Shang on the forehead, "Yes, my Shang''er is so


    clever."


    Seeing that Yun Shang was not sleepy, Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows. He took off his robe and


    closed the bed curtain. Then he lowered his head to get close to Yun Shang. His voice was low and


    husky, "Since you are awake, it''s not easy to fall asleep again. Let''s do something meaningful together


    to kill time."


    Yun Shang was stunned. Looking at Luo Qingyan''s charming eyes, Yun Shang chuckled. Then she


    raised her head and kissed Luo Qingyan''s lips. Since she was pregnant, Luo Qingyan had been very


    careful about her health and he had also tried his best to control himself.


    Yun Shang''s move seemed to be a sign of encouragement. Luo Qingyan smiled, too.


    Outside the window, the rain were getting heavier and fell on the ntain leaves, as if they were in


    concert with the sound inside the house.


    After a long time, the voices gradually faded away. Yun Shang was too tired to move a finger. Luo


    Qingyan bent over and kissed her on the forehead. Then he got out of the bed and called Qian Zhuo


    for hot water.


    Qian Zhuo answered. After a while, she walked back and said, "Your Highness, the water is ready."


    Luo Qingyan replied indifferently, "Ok. Put it at the door."


    After a while, he heard her footsteps gradually fading away. Then, Luo Qingyan brought the hot water


    into the room.


    Suddenly, a few clear sounds came from outside the window. Luo Qingyan stopped and said coldly,


    "Go ahead."


    The secret guard answered in a calm voice, "Your Highness, we lost her. Someone with good martial


    arts helped her."


    Luo Qingyan replied in a low voice, "Well, I see. You can leave now." Then he walked to the other side,


    took down a handkerchief from a wooden shelf, and lifed the bed curtain. Yun Shang seemed to have


    fallen asleep. Luo Qingyan nced at her, and his face softened. After carefully cleansing the marks,


    he took off his clothes and went to bed, holding her in his arms.


    The next day when Yun Shang woke up, it was already in the morning. Luo Qingyan was awake, but


    still staying in bed.


    Yun Shang looked nkly at Luo Qingyan, still a little confused. She got close to him and said in azy


    voice, "How is it going?"


    Luo Qingyan knew she was asking about the Eldest Princess, so he smiled faintly, "She has escaped


    with someone''s help."


    Yun Shang was a little taken aback and said with a frown, "I''m afraid it''s a trick of cover-up. She must


    know there are many people in the city, waiting to catch her. If there is a person to help her, it''s


    impossible for her to buy rice on her own. She just wanted to confuse others."


    Luo Qingyan nodded gently. He had thought about this when his secret guard reported itst night.


    Yun Shang still didn''t understand. "Why did shee out at this time?"


    Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang tighter and smiled, "There are several possibilities. One, she did this to


    distract attentions. Two, the woman in the city is not the Eldest Princess at all. She appears just to hide


    the real whereabouts of the Eldest Princess."


    Yun Shang rested her head on Luo Qingyan''s chest. His heart jolted with each word he said. Yun


    Shang smiled and thought for a while before she said, "I don''t think the Eldest Princess will allow


    herself to take any risk, the one appeared in the rice store was more likely not her. But where is the real


    Eldest Princess?"


    "Who knows?" Luo Qingyan was not in a hurry. He smiled at Yun Shang, "It''s time to get up. We should


    go back our mansion now."


    Yun Shang nodded and sat up. Luo Qingyan also sat up and helped Yun Shang wear shoes. Then got


    himself dressed.


    Yun Shang waited until Luo Qingyan went to wash himself. Then she called Qian Zhuo in.


    Qian Zhuo dressed Yun Shang and smiled. "It rained all night yesterday. Today, everything is like being


    cleaned up by the rain. It''s so fresh and beautiful outside."


    Yun Shang grinned at his words. She asked Qian Zhuo to open the window, and a gust of wind mixed


    with the smell of earth blew in. From the window, Yun Shang saw that Steward Liu was walking towards


    the yard with the ountant.


    Came steward Liu''s low voice from outside. Yun Shang heard the maid say yes, "Your Highness just


    got up and haven''t washed up."


    As Qian Zhuo is not good at making buns as Qin Yi and Qian Liu, Yun Shang asked her to make a


    simple Yun Ding Braids and put two white jade hairpins on it.


    After that, Yun Shang went out of the inner room with Luo Qingyan, and the breakfast was ready.


    Steward Liu and granny Ying greeted them promptly.


    Luo Qingyan looked as cold as usual, but Yun Shang was wearing a smile on her face. She asked


    them to stand up and sat down at the table. "You are early, aren''t you?"


    "Your Highness, It''s so rare that you coulde here, so I want you to see our ount book for this


    month," said Steward Liu.


    Luo Qingyan frowned. He put a pancake into Yun Shang''s bowl and said coldly, "Just put the ount


    book aside."


    Stumbling all over, he dared not disobey. He put it on the table beside the chair, and hurriedly left with


    granny Ying.


    Yun Shang looked at them for a short while, and then looked away, as if nothing had happened. She


    smiled at Luo Qingyan and said, "Why such a long face in the early morning?"


    Luo Qingyan gave a brittleugh. "How could they bother you with such a trifle early in the morning?"


    Yun Shang burst intoughter while hearing the words. She shook her head and looked at the two


    people walking out of the room. She picked up the pancake and took a bite, smiling, "This pancake


    tastes good. Have a try."


    In this case, Luo Qingyan had his breakfast in silence, and put some food in Yun Shang''s bowl.


    After breakfast, Yun Shang asked the servants to remove the table, and went into the room with Luo


    Qingyan. She said softly, "Granny Ying went out on a long tripst night, and she just came back. Do


    the secret guards have any way to find out where she wentst night?"
