Chapter 1063 The Acrobatics Troupe (Part One)


    Qian Zhuo nodded and said, "I didn''t think of it either. We have been keeping an eye on him before, but


    we haven''t found anything wrong with him. This time, I''m afraid he is desperate. Your majesty, what


    should we do about it?"


    Yun Shang picked Bao''er up and held his hands. She said calmly, "In order to catch the thief, we must


    seize the stolen goods in the act of theft. Now that he has begun to take actions, it''s our chance. But


    we have to act quickly. Tonight, let''s catch the thief."


    Yun Shang gave some detailed instructions to Qian Zhuo, and Qian Zhuo noted them down carefully.


    After everything was settled, Qian Zhuo said, "By the way, your majesty, there is another thing. I heard


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    an urgent letter from the secret guard that for some reason, His Former Majesty suddenly set off and


    seemed to be on his way back to the Jin City."


    "Back to the Jin City?" Yun Shang thought for a while and guessed that they must have found out


    something about Lady Cao, so she panicked, "Has he brought Xia Houjing with him? And what about


    Liu Yinfeng? "


    "They are all together," Qian Zhuo answered in a low voice.


    "Ha ha," Yun Shang sneered, "It seems that I really stepped on Xia Huanyu''s foot this time."


    Cao Wenxi was really amazing. More than 20 years ago, she disguised herself as Cao Shanxiu and


    stayed in the pce without being found out by anyone including Xia Huanyu. Surprisingly, she could


    even give birth to the fifteenth princess with Xia Huanyu.


    Cao Wenxi was actually the sister-inw of Xia Huanyu. It could be said that Xia Huanyu killed his


    father and brother and became the emperor. Although he might not be fair in means, he had


    seeded anyway. But this factual deed of encroaching on his sister-inw was a real scandal.


    It could not be denied that Cao Wenxi was really a scheming woman.


    "I see," Yun Shang stood up and said, "Ask Hua''er to take Bao''er to eat something. And get dressed for


    me."


    Qian Zhuo nodded. She first called Hua''er in. Hua''er bowed and left with Bao''er in her arms. Qian Zhuo


    picked up a rouge colored robe embroidered with hibiscus flowers for Yun Shang, and styled her hair in


    a bun. After dressing up, Yun Shang went out of the bedroom and sat down at the table.


    As soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she heard the voice of Su Mu from outside, "Your majesty,


    Lord Liu is here."


    "Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky, "His Majesty must have been away from


    the court not long ago, right? Is there anything urgent? Please bring Liu Wenan in. "


    Lowering his head, Liu Wenan walked in, bowed to Yun Shang, and said with a smile, "Your majesty, a


    acrobatics troupe hase to the city recently. I''ve heard that the performance is novel and fun. His


    majesty said that their majesties of the State of Ning are here. How about inviting the troupe to the


    pce tonight to give a performance so that we can watch it together? What do you think of it, your


    majesty? "


    Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled more brightly. She nodded quickly


    and said, "Of course it''s very good. I haven''t seen any new acrobatics for many years."


    "Yes, your majesty. I will report to his majesty and begin to arrange this matter. I will leave now," said


    Liu Wenan smilingly with wrinkles on his face.


    "Thank you, Master Liu," Yun Shang hurriedly replied, "Su Mu, see Master Liu off for me."


    Su Mu nodded and took Master Liu out of the main hall. Yun Shang watched their receding figures.


    After a while, she picked up the chopsticks and said indifferently, "Although it''s a little sudden, it helped


    me a lot. Tonight, we''ll all go to see the performance. I''ll leave that person here, so that he thinks he


    has a chance."


    With a smile, Qian Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, the acrobatics team came at the right time."


    Yun Shang bit her chopsticks and kept silent for a while. Then she said, "Speaking of the acrobatics


    team, the people arranged by the Emperor are all right, but we should be cautious about someone evil


    who might do something against us. Let them investigate the background of this troupe."


    Qian Zhuo responded, bowed and left the main hall.


    The secret guards replied in the afternoon, "The acrobatics team is not new. The people in it are all


    actors who used to perform in the streets. But a few months ago, they gathered together and made


    some new things together. They are very popr at present."


    Yun Shang smiled, "They''ve been separated for so many years. It''s interesting for them to suddenly


    gather together and form an acrobatics team recently."


    Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Qian Zhuo knew that Yun Shang must have some doubts in her heart, so


    she quickly said, "Your majesty, do you suspect that there is something wrong with the acrobatics


    troupe?"


    "Yes, there must be some questions in it. But since his majesty has made up his mind to invite them in,


    he can figure out such an obvious question. He must have his own intention. I''ll ask himter," Yun


    Shang replied softly.


    It was getting dark. Yun Shang asked Hua''er and the babysitter to bring Bao''er with them, and they


    then left for the Taiji Pce together with Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu. It was still early before the


    performance, so Yun Shang didn''t go to the main hall directly, but to the side hall.


    Liu Wenan ordered someone to serve tea. Yun Shang showed a smile and said, "Even if the


    performance team members today are only folk artists, we should also have a good examination,"


    Liu Wenan hurriedly bowed and said, "Don''t worry, your majesty. All the performers of the acrobatics


    team have entered the pce in the morning. They first took a bath, and then changed into the clothes


    prepared in the pce. All the props and articles are prepared by the Imperial Household Department,


    and there will be no problem."


    "That''s good," Yun Shang replied and nodded with a smile, "Master Liu is a thoughtful man. I trust you.


    Did the troupee to the pce early today? Where are they now? Why didn''t I see them? "


    "The people of the acrobatics troupe said that they had to practice and be familiar with new props and


    articles. So I asked a servant to lead them to the Zhongcui Pce, where there was a ground for


    training the servants. It''s arge ce," Liu Wenan replied with a smile, "but I think they will be here


    soon."


    While they were talking, a servant came and reported, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Ning and Lady Jin of


    the State of Ning have arrived. His majesty has invited your majesty to the main hall."


    Yun Shang nodded and stood up. There was a small door in the side hall that could lead directly to the


    main hall, but today''s banquet could be considered a formal asion, so it was not appropriate to go


    from the door. Yun Shang thus went out of the side hall, circled around the Taiji Pce for a while, and


    arrived at the main hall''s door.


    As soon as they entered the main hall, everyone bowed. Yun Shang nced around and saw that not


    only Emperor Ning and Lady Jin, but also officials at or above the third grade of the court were present.


    Yun Shang walked to Luo Qingyan''s side, turned around and said with a smile, "Arise, please." Then


    she sat down next to Luo Qingyan.


    While all the courtiers were sitting down and taking their seats, Luo Qingyan moved a little closer to


    Yun Shang and said with a smile, "Today''s acrobatics troupe is very popr recently. Many important


    courtiers have rmended it to me."


    Yun Shang looked up and smiled at Emperor Ning and Lady Jin. Then she answered in a low voice,


    "Then I''ll have a good look at it today."
