Chapter 1073 Countermeasures


    Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang knew nothing about what happened after they left. The two of them


    climbed the wall and returned to the pce in a hurry, but the pce was quiet. Yun Shang looked


    around and then looked up at Luo Qingyan who was holding her behind. "Something is wrong."


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "We haven''t returned to Weiyang Pce yet. It shouldn''t be so quiet."


    The two looked at each other. Yun Shang meditated for a moment and took out a flute from her sleeve,


    sending a message to the secret guard. For a long time, there was no response.


    "I''m afraid something has happened in Weiyang Pce. Let''s go to Taiji Pce first." Luo Qingyan


    made a decision at once.


    Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang''s hand and carefully avoided the guards who were patrolling back and


    forth. They arrived at the front of the hall. There were two eunuchs standing in front of the hall, who


    were dozing off. Yun Shang took out a small white jade bottle from her sleeve. She walked quietly to


    the two eunuchs, and held the bottle close to their noses. The two eunuchs then leaned against the


    wall and fell asleep.


    Luo Qingyan pushed the door of Taiji Pce open, and the two of them quickly entered the hall.


    Since Luo Qingyan was not in the Taiji Pce, there were still a few lights on in the hall, but there were


    no servants on duty. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan sat down on the steps in front of the dragon throne.


    Luo Qingyan said, "The matter of the private prison I arranged before must be able to attract the


    attention of Xia Huanyu. I thought he wouldn''t find out it was our trip before we came back. But now the


    pce is so quiet. I''m afraid something has happened. I''m afraid that Xia Huanyu has seen through our


    n in advance, and the secret guards at Weiyang Pce didn''t respond just now. They must have

    been controlled by someone sent by Xia Huanyu. "


    "What should we do now?" Yun Shang frowned and asked softly.


    "Even if Xia Huanyu finds out that he followed the wrong person, he doesn''t know where we have


    gone. We still have secret guards with us. Divide them into three groups. One group will go to the


    Weiyang Pce to inquire about the situation. One group will go out of the pce and called two or


    three courtiers to enter the pce, asking them to climb over the wall instead of entering from the


    pce gate. Another group will go to the pce gate. There are also people we have nted among


    the gate guards. They could tamper with the records at the pce gate and colluded with other guards


    to make false testimonies. " Luo Qingyan arranged carefully.


    Yun Shang frowned and thought for a while. Then she nodded and said, "In this case, it proves that we


    haven''t left the pce, so Xia Huanyu won''t doubt that we went to Liu Yinfeng. But I''m afraid it''s not


    appropriate to send someone to Weiyang Pce. Since Weiyang Pce has been controlled by Xia


    Huanyu, if we send our secret guards to inquire about it, they will know that we have doubts, I''m afraid


    it will disturb our arrangement. I have also arranged some spies in other pces. Since what happened


    tonight is so serious, I''m sure they have also known it. I''ll write down the name of the pce and our


    spies, and then ask the secret guards to look for them and inquire about it. "


    "Shang''er, you are so considerate." Luo Qingyan smiled and touched Yun Shang''s hair. Then the two of


    them acted separately.


    It waste at night, but the pce tonight was destined to be unpeaceful.


    The secret guards moved in different directions, and their speed was not slow. Soon the group of


    secret guards who went to the pce gate reported that everything had been settled.


    Then the secret guards who went to inquire the spies in those pces returned.


    "After your majesties left the pce, the people in the private prison had a conflict with the secret


    guards who came there as arranged. They fought for a while, but the people hidden in the dark around


    didn''t sneak into the private prison to investigate as your majesties expected. Instead, he went directly


    to the Taihe Pce and reported to [His Former Majesty. Then His Former Majesty came in person. "


    The secret guard cupped his hands and reported.


    Yun Shang frowned and said, "No wonder. When His Former Majestyes, the secret guards who


    disguised as us definitely didn''t dare to greet him."


    "Yes. After His Former Majesty came, he couldn''t find your majesties, so he ordered his men to take


    everyone back to Weiyang Pce angrily. The secret guards led by His Former Majesty were highly


    skilled in Kung Fu, and the masters of Weiyang Pce who were highly skilled in Kung Fu were all with


    your majesties. The secret guards in Weiyang Pce were suppressed, and they didn''t even have the


    chance to inform your majesties. Then His Former Majesty ordered people to search everywhere on


    the guise of looking for your majesties. But only he himself knew his real intention. "


    Hearing this, Luo Qingyan sneered, "Have they searched the Taiji Pce?"


    The secret guard shook his head and said, "No."


    "I see." Luo Qingyan sneered and said in a low voice, "He knew he was tricked by us, so he felt that we


    wouldn''t be in the Taiji Pce, so he didn''t even bother to search it. He must be looking for Cao


    Wenxi."


    Yun Shang held Luo Qingyan''s hand and said gently, "But it''s a chance for us, isn''t it?"


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "yes."


    The door of the Taiji Pce was gently pushed open. Li Qianmo walked in the front, followed by a few


    men in court clothes. When they were about to salute, Luo Qingyan waved his hand and said, "Don''t be


    so courteous. I invite you here today just to protect me. If His Former Majestyester, tell him that


    we have been discussing political affairs in the Taiji Pce since 9 p.m."


    Hearing this, they looked at each other. Li Qianmo cupped her hands and said, "But your majesty, if His


    Former Majesty asks us what we are discussing and why the Empress is here, how should I answer?"


    Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Female members of the


    Imperial Household are not allowed to meddle with the state affairs, but there is only one exception. A


    few days ago, Xia Houjing raised his army and rebelled in Liucang City. Although the rebellion was


    suppressed now, the people around Liucang City have suffered a great loss because of the war, and


    there is a famine. His majesty received an emergency report and called you into the pce to discuss


    about the disaster relief. I came here... to ask his majesty to g go back to Weiyang Pce and have a


    rest. So I happened to hear the matter you were discussing. I felt that as a member in the royal family I


    should cut down my consumption and set an example. Then we discussed that herbs might be needed


    in Liucang City. "


    Everyone looked at each other and nodded, "I see."


    Yun Shang smiled and turned to Luo Qingyan, "I''ll wake up the two servants at the door first. I''ll tell


    them that his majesty is tired and ask them to Weiyang Pce to order someone to send some


    porridge here."


    Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, and Yun Shang left the Taiji Pce with a smile.


    Outside the Taiji Pce, two servants were sleeping soundly against the wall. Yun Shang looked up at


    the sky. It was early in this month, the moon was not very bright. There were twonterns hanging


    outside the door. Yun Shang touched her sleeve, but didn''t find what she wanted.


    Frowning slightly, Yun Shang pushed the two eunuchs to the ground.


    "Who? Who is it? " One of them screamed and suddenly opened his eyes to look around. The other


    man saw Yun Shang at a nce. He quickly stood up and knelt down. "Your Majesty."


    Hearing this, the man who were looking around paused and quickly knelt down.


    Yun Shang sneered, "How could you doze off when on guard?"


    The two trembled and begged, "Please forgive us, your majesty. We are sorry."


    "Forgive? There hours ago, when I and his majesty came here, you were already asleep. Now his


    majesty and several officials have discussed political affairs for a long time, and you are still sleeping.


    How dare you! " Yun Shang raised her voice suddenly.


    Hearing this, the two of them bowed, not daring to take a deep breath.


    Yun Shang nced coldly at the two. She was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her


    voice was a little lower, but the coldness was not decreased. "Go to Weiyang Pce, and ask the small


    kitchen to make some midnight snack. If you can''t even handle such a small matter, you don''t have to


    work in the Taiji Pce anymore. The Neishi Bureau must be more suitable for you. "


    As soon as Yun Shang finished her words, the two men kowtowed repeatedly and replied. Yun Shang


    looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, turned around and slowly entered the Taiji Pce.


    A voice came from the Taiji Pce, and someone said, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be difficult to


    ask the officials to offer money and food. However, there must be a lot of old clothes in their mansions.


    Although the clothes are old, the materials must be good. Now the weather was getting colder, but I''m


    afraid the people of Liucang City don''t have enough clothes. We could collect those old clothes and


    send them to Liucang City. The old clothes will be useful for the people, and the local officials can''t get


    any benefit from it, so they can be sent to the refugees. "


    "Lord Li, it''s really a good idea." Luo Qingyan said in a clear voice. The two eunuchs kneeling outside


    the door looked at each other, with sweat on their foreheads and horror in their eyes. Seeing Yun


    Shang enter the Taiji Pce, they stood up in a hurry, and one of the eunuchs rushed to Weiyang


    Pce.


    In less than an hour, footsteps came from outside the hall. The people in the hall looked at each other,


    but pretended not to hear anything. They were busy discussing.


    The door was pushed open. Xia Huanyu stood at the door, expressionless, but his eyes seemed to be


    frozen with frost and snow.


    Yun Shang put down the writing brush in her hand, stood up, walked behind Luo Qingyan, and bowed


    to Xia Huanyu, "Father."


    "His Former Majesty."


    Luo Qingyan looked up at Xia Huanyu with a smile on her face, "Father camete at night. Is there


    anything urgent?"


    Xia Huanyu nced at the people in the hall indifferently and walked to the middle of the hall. "What


    are you doing here in the middle of the night?"


    Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I''m discussing political affairs with them."


    "Discuss political affairs?" Xia Huanyu sat down on a chair, but his eyes fell on Yun Shang. "Since you


    are discussing political affairs, why is the Empress here? Female members of the Imperial Household


    are not allowed to meddle with the state affairs. This is a rule set by our ancestor. Does the Empress


    want to break this rule? "
