Chapter 1069 Different Intentions


    Yun Shang hesitated, and the Emperor Ning noticed something was wrong. He stepped forward and


    asked, "Mister Liu, has His Former Majesty returned to the pce? I''ve been here from Ningguo for


    quite some time. As His Former Majesty was not in the pce, I haven''t had a chance to have a good


    chat with him. I happen to be here now, so I want to visit this old friend. "


    Yun Shang suddenly realized why Xia Huanyu called her in the name of Hua Ling. He must be on


    guard against Emperor Ning. If Xia Huanyu called her in his own name, Emperor Ning would certainly


    go with her. In that case, even if he wanted to do something to Yun Shang, he wouldn''t dare to do it


    easily because of the presence of Emperor Ning. But in the name of Hua Ling, it was different. Hua


    Ling was a female member of the pce after all. It was inappropriate for Emperor Ning to visit her, so


    that Emperor Ning would not go with Yun Shang


    However, Emperor Ning''s words helped Yun Shang solve the crisis. She wanted to see how Liu Wenan


    would answer. Xia Huanyu must have returned to the pce. If Liu Wenan told the truth, Emperor Ning


    could go with her. If Liu Wenan didn''t tell the truth, she would have a way to deal with it.


    Although she was not afraid of Xia Huanyu, she didn''t want to be so unprepared.


    Hearing this, Liu Wenan was slightly stunned, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Oh, I really


    don''t know. But before I came here, His Former Majesty was discussing government affairs with his


    Majesty in the Meeting Hall, but I don''t know if he is still there. Your majesty, why don''t you stay here for


    a while? I''ll go and inquire about it. And I''ll call you backter. What do you think? "


    ''A crafty old fox, '' Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and sighed in her heart, but she didn''t show any trace


    on her face. She smiled and said, "Father, please sit here for a moment, but Mother can go to the Taihe


    Pce with me."


    Hearing this, Lady Jin also stood up and said with a smile, "Shang''er is right. I should go to pay


    respects to the old empress."


    Yun Shang responded with a smile. Then she turned around and ordered Qian Zhuo, "Bring the Prince


    here. Her former majesty has been away from the pce for more than half a year. I''m afraid she


    misses Chengye very much since she hasn''t seen him for such a long time."


    A hint of astonishment shed through Liu Wenan''s eyes when he saw this. Then he lowered his head


    and stood aside silently, letting Yun Shang get everything ready there..


    Hua''er soon took Bao''er in her arms and put on a cloak for him. He looked very happy. Yun Shang


    touched Bao''er''s head and smiled, "Your grandparents are back. Let''s go and visit them."


    Bao''er rolled his eyes at Yun Shang, blinked and lowered his head.


    Yun Shang left Qian Liu and Pei Lan to take care of Emperor Ning, and left the Weiyang Pce with


    Shu Jin and Bao''er. As soon as they walked out of the gate of the Weiyang Pce, Yun Shang looked


    up at Liu Wenan and said, "Mister Liu, you don''t need to follow me. Go and help my father check if His


    Former Majesty is still in the Meeting Hall."


    Getting Yun Shang''s order, Liu Wenan quickly responded and stopped. He didn''t turn around and go to


    the Meeting Hall until Yun Shang went far away.


    Shu Jin turned to look at Liu Wenan''s back and said, "I heard that the old empress now is Lady Zhao


    from our State of Ning, right? Did she make things difficult for you? Just now Master Liu looked a little


    weird when he sent you the message."


    "The old empress has never made trouble for me. It''s just that Master Liu who used to be Xia Huanyu''s


    personal eunuch before, and I''m afraid that he is only loyal to Xia Huanyu. I guess the call from the old


    empress is just an excuse. The one who really wants to see me is Xia Huanyu. The reason why Xia


    Huanyu ordered this way is to avoid Father," Yun Shang sighed, "I''ve been in the State of Xia for two


    and a half years, but I still can''t see through Xia Huanyu."


    Hearing this, Shu Jin sighed, "It''s normal for the man on the throne to be thoughtful. Besides, he had


    been an emperor for so many years. Naturally it''s difficult to see through him."


    Yun Shang smiled coldly, "it doesn''t matter if it''s just difficult to see through his mind. At present, Luo


    Qingyan has been on the throne for almost a year. Why should I bother to see through Xia Huanyu''s


    mind? However, although that person abdicated, he has meddled in the political affairs of the State of

    Xia many times. It is really puzzling. This time actually it was I who forced him toe back to the


    pce in such a hurry, so I''m afraid he doesn''t like me. But from the information I got, I thought he


    would be back tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he rushed on the way back day and night in thest two days


    and caught me off guard. I''m not ready yet, but I don''t want to suffer losses because of this. "


    Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Shu Jin finally understood, "Does he want to hurt you? If so, do you have


    secret guards with you? Have you got everything ready? Don''t lose anything! "


    Yun Shang smiled and held Shu Jin''s hand, "Don''t worry, Mother. As long as you are here, he won''t do


    anything bad to me. This is rted to some scandals of the royal family of the State of Xia. So he dares


    not to let others know. He won''t let you know."


    "Good. That''s good." Hearing this, Shu Jin felt a little relieved, "In that case, I will keep close to you


    aroundter."


    "I don''t think it''s a good idea. He will try his best to send you away. Now that you are a guest, don''t


    disobey his arrangement. However, if Xia Huanyu asks me to his study or other ces in the name of


    ying chess or anything else, you can tell the old empress that Father wanted to visit His Former


    Majesty, but you didn''t know that His Former Majesty is in the Taihe Pce, so you can send someone


    to call Father there. Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu are quick in reaction. And it will not a big problem for me


    to try to stall for time," Yun Shang exined softly.


    Shu Jin nodded slightly and answered, "I see."


    Before Yun Shang and the others arrived at the Taihe Pce, the news that their former majesties had


    returned to the pce had not yet been revealed, so the Taihe Pce was still calm. Noticing this, Yun


    Shang turned around and told Qian Zhuo in a low voice. "Send a message to the secret guards and


    ask them to spread the news that their former majesties have returned to the pce. Within half an


    hour, the news should be known by thosedies and concubines."


    Qian Zhuo responded and started to send the message to the secret guards in the dark with a gesture.


    Yun Shang then stepped into the Taihe Pce. Voices and the sounds of servants'' walking around


    were faintly heard inside.


    "Hail Your Majesty," a maid greeted.


    Yun Shang looked inside the main hall and saw Hua Ling looking at her. Xia Huanyu was indeed sitting


    next to Hua Ling.


    "Arise, please," Yun Shang smiled and entered the main hall with Shu Jin.


    ""Greetings, Father, Mother," Yun Shang bowed, and Shu Jin also greeted, "Hail Your Majesty the


    Emperor. Hail Your Former Majesty the Emperor."


    "Get up," Xia Huanyu said coldly.


    Yun Shang stood up and looked up at Xia Huanyu, "I didn''t know that father was also in the Taihe


    Pce. My fath is here for a visit. He heard that Father had returned to the pce and wanted to visit


    you, but Master Liu said he didn''t know where your Former Majesty was."


    As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Hua Ling raised her eyes slightly and nced atXia Huanyu,


    who was standing beside her. With a bit of surprise in her eyes, she said, "Master Liu..."


    Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xia Huanyu, "I''m a little tired after the tiring


    journey these days. I''d better invite the Emperor of the State of Ning for a visit after a good rest."


    Yun Shang replied with a smile, "All right." Bao''er in Hua''er''s arms turned to look at Hua Ling and Xia


    Huanyu, pping his hands andughing.


    Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Father and Mother have been away from the pce for nine months. You


    haven''t seen Chengye for a long time, so I brought him with me. See, he can walk now."


    Hearing this, Hua Ling''s face lit up and hurriedly asked, "Really? Come on, bring Chengye to me. "


    Yun Shang winked at Hua''er, and Hua''er walked quickly to Hua Ling with Bao''er in her arms and


    handed the baby to Hua Ling. Hua Ling quickly took Bao''er over and smiled, "In a twinkling of an eye,


    Bao''er has grown up like this."


    Yun Shang replied with a smile, "Yes. Children grow faster."


    Hua Ling put Bao''er on the ground and coaxed in a soft voice, "Come on, Bao''er. Take two steps to


    show Grandma."


    Bao''er held Hua Ling''s hand and stood on the ground with a smile. He turned around and nced at


    Yun Shang. Then he ran towards Yun Shang with his short legs and held Yun Shang''s legs. Yun Shang


    squatted down with a smile and pointed at Hua Ling, "Bao''er, go to Grandma."


    Then Bao''er turned to look at Hua Ling with confusion in his eyes. After a while, he giggled, but didn''t


    go forward to Hua Ling as Yun Shang said.


    Xia Huanyu stood aside and watched them quietly. After a long time, he asked, "Can he speak now?"


    Yun Shang shook her head with a smile and replied softly, "Not yet."


    Xia Huanyu sneered. But before he was about to say something, Hua Ling replied, "Boys should be a


    littlete to begin to speak."


    Yun Shang nodded slightly and said smilingly, "Yes. Many people say so."


    Shu Jin also took over the topic and said with a smile, "My Chenxi hasn''t started to speak until he was


    almost two years old. Now he is like a chatterbox and doesn''t want to be quiet for a moment. Shang''er


    could speak much earlier. She was able to call Mother before she was one year old. "


    Hua Ling stood up, walked to Yun Shang''s side, squatted down, and looked at Chengye saying,


    "Chengye, good boy. Come to Grandma. Grandma will give you delicious food."


    Chengye turned to look at Hua Ling and fell into her arms.


    It seemed that Xia Huanyu couldn''t sit still any longer. He nced at Yun Shang and said indifferently,


    "I haven''t yed chess with the Empress for a long time. I heard that the Empress has be better


    at chess. Lady Jin, please talk with the old empress for a while. The Empress can y chess with me."


    With that, he stood up and went to the study.


    Shu Jin paused and turned to Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Hua''er, stay here to take care


    of the Prince. Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo will go with me."


    They three responded. And Yun Shang followed Xia Huanyu to the study.
