Chapter 702 Close Rtionship
Luo Qingyan was surprised. He turned to Yun Shang, "Why are you so sure?"
Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "We walked around yesterday, and I noticed that thend in
the Yuan mountain vi is all red soil, and the nearby ces should be the same. Just now, I saw some
yellow soil on the shoes of Granny Ying."
"It has been raining all night. Although her dress was dry, her trousers were a little wet from under her
dress, and the tips of her shoes were a little wet. Her hairstyle was the same as yesterday''s and even
her hairpin was in the same position. Her hair end was also a little wet. I think that it was highly
possible that she hadn''t slept at allst night." Yun Shang said in a low but firm voice.
Luo Qingyan knocked on the chair gently. After a while, he said, "We didn''t set any spies around the
mountain vi. Last night, except for those secret guards I sent out, the others were guarding around
our room all the time. If she left the mansion without being noticed, it would take us some time to
investigate where she went."
After a pause, he continued, "But it''s notpletely impossible. Let the secret guard have a try.
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said, "I don''t know why she left. Let''s look into it first. It doesn''t
matter if we can''t find it out. Maybe it''s just some personal reason. In addition, since it''s once, there
must be a second time. We could leave someone here to keep an eye on her. Anyway, a fox cannot
hide its tail."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and said nothing, pressing his lips.
"Qian Zhuo, give me the ount book they sent." Yun Shang ordered softly.
Qian Zhuo walked to the outer hall, got the ount book in, and handed it to Yun Shang after carefully
examination. Yun Shang opened it and found nothing unusual, so she put it aside.
After breakfast, Yun Shang didn''t feel sleepy. She took Qian Ying out for a walk. Last night, she went
through the bamboo forest in front of the house, behind which was the front yard of the mansion, the

main hall is for guests and the back yard is for the servants.
The pce was full of hustle and bustle probably because of Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang''s arrival.
Steward Liu was walking out with a piece of paper in his hand. He was surprised to see Yun Shang and
quickly came up to greet her, "Your Highness."
Yun Shang nodded and took a look at him, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. "Where are you
going, Steward Liu?"
On hearing this, he said with a smile, "it will be spring soon. We are about to purchase seeds. I just
asked Granny Ying to write me a list, and I''m about to find someone to prepare. "
Yun Shang nodded and looked at the paper in his hand, "What are you going to nt this year? Let me
have a look."
As soon as he heard Yun Shang''s words, he handed the paper in his hand to her in a hurry. Yun Shang
unfolded the paper and was a little stunned. "You said that it was written by Granny Ying?
Not knowing why, Steward Liu nodded and replied, "Yes, it''s written by her. I have seen it personally."
Yun Shang frowned and asked coldly, "But why the handwriting is different from that on the ount
book?"
Steward Liu smiled when he heard it. He hurriedly exined, "She is good at different handwritings,
and she is good at imitating other people''s handwriting."
"Really?" Yun Shang smiled faintly. She slowly folded the paper in her hand and handed it back to
Steward Liu. She said with a smile, "She is quite capable." Then she turned around and left
unhurriedly.
Steward Liu touched his head. He didn''t walk to the other side of the mansion until Yun Shang was out
of his sight.
After the lunch, Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan packed up their things and were ready to go back to the
city. Steward Liu had prepared many fresh fruits and nts in a carriage and was about to send them
to Prince Rui''s mansion.
Yun Shang didn''t say anything when she saw it. Then she left with Luo Qingyan.
When they arrived at the gate of the Jin City, Luo Qingyan suddenly said, "They are still following us.
Since they have followed us all the way, how could satisfy them? You''d better go to the pceter and
make a casual visit. I will wait for you at the gate of the pce."
Yun Shang understood that he wanted to mislead them. She replied with a smile.
Then Luo Qingyan asked the coachman to drive them to the gate of the pce. The carriage couldn''t
go into the pce, so Yun Shang got out of the carriage and went into the pce with Qian Zhuo. After
entering the pce, Yun Shang went to the Weiyang Pce first to pay respects to the Empress and
then went to the Xiang Zhu Pce unhurriedly. The imperial garden was between the Wei Yang Pce
and the Xiang Zhu Pce. After the rain, it was more beautiful and the sun was warm. The imperial
garden was lively with manydies were admiring the flowers in it.
When Yun Shang passed through an arch, she heard some low voices which sounded unfamiliar. Yun
Shang paused her steps and looked out from the arch. From their attire, they seemed like concubines,
but Yun Shang didn''t know them. They must be some concubines who entered the Pce very early
and hadn''t have children.
"How long has Lady Hui been in the pce? Three month? But she has already been pregnant. We''ve
been in the pce for more than twenty years, but now it''s even hard for us to meet His Majesty. It''s
true that people could only hear theughter of the new ones, not the crying of the old ones. No wonder
Lady Xian could not wait to take action..."
Yun Shang had no interest in their topic. When she was about to turn around and change a path, she
heard another voice.
"Lady Xian has also been in the pce for a long time and hasn''t got pregnant, but the Emperor still
visits her asionally. Poor us! However, that''s all because of Lady Shu. Lady Xian used to work for
Lady Shu and always eat her toads. But it worth doing. If I had known it earlier that I could get favored
by His Majesty, I would have been willing to do that. " There was a touch of self-mockery in her tone.
"Yes, but there is nothing to envy. Now that Lady Shu and Lady Xian have all been sent to the Cold
Pce, they are probably holding together and crying now. Although we are not favored by the
Emperor, there are still some servants serving us. Our situation is much better than they are now."
The moment she finished speaking, there were severalughter.
Yun Shang frowned and turned away. She thought about the words of the concubines, and sensed
something fishy. Why hasn''t anyone told her that Lady Shu and Lady Xian have such a close
rtionship? And it has never appeared in the information she had collected.
