Chapter 1079 Falling Ill
Yun Shang took it over and scanned it roughly. She frowned and handed the paper to Luo Qingyan,
with worry in her eyes. "It''s indeed unusual that so many old courtiers gather in the Jin city all of a
sudden. Do you think these people were hired by Cao Wenxi just for the matter of the imperial seal?"
Luo Qingyan took it over and said, "It''s hard to guess..." Luo Qingyan looked down at the list on the
letter and continued, "But I don''t think the Cao n is able to gather so many high-ranked courtiers.
Moreover, the Cao n has declined for so many years."
"You are right." Yun Shang murmured to herself, but there was a little confusion in her eyes. "Then why
did these peoplee? During this period of time in the Jin City, the biggest thing that is happening or
about to happen was probably the matter of the imperial seal. If it weren''t for the imperial seal, I really
couldn''t find the reason why they gathered in the Jin city. "
"I don''t dare to make a conclusion on this matter at once. Qian Zhuo, ask the secret guards to inquire
around..." Luo Qingyan paused and said, "There''s no need to ask others. You can ask Lord Hua Guo
about the rtionship between these people on the list and the Cao n."
Then Qian Zhuo bowed and left.
Luo Qingyan put the list on the table and pressed it down with the zemp. He raised his head to
look at Yun Shang. Seeing that Yun Shang frowning, he walked to her and held her hand. "You once
told Cao Wenxi that I am the emperor now. The imperial seal doesn''t matter much. Why do you look so
worried now?"
"I won''t lower my head in front of her, but it''s not the truth. Your majesty know it. In all ages, the imperial
seal has been an important object for the emperor to inherit. Now the imperial seal in our hands is fake.
It''s not proper for the real imperial seal to be lost. I don''t know what kind of evidence Cao Wenxi has to
prove that the imperial seal in her hand is real, but judging from her confident look, she must not be
pretending. Once this matter is exposed, it will definitely be a big storm. Maybe it is not enough to
shake the State of Xia, but a lot of efforts are needed to calm it down. " After saying that, Yun Shang
sighed, with a touch of sadness in her eyes.
Luo Qingyan smiled and held Yun Shang''s hand tightly. "Don''t worry. Since we have known it so long in

advance, I have been well prepared. Tomorrow, although there will be a battle between Xia Huanyu
and Cao Wenxi, I will never let Xia Huanyu lose this battle."
The firmness on Luo Qingyan''s face calmed Yun Shang down. "Well, since you said so, I believe you."
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang in his arms with a smile and said softly, "But it must be a tough battle.
You should also be careful. Although we have controlled Cao Wenxi now, the remaining members of
the Cao n have not beenpletely eliminated. Since tomorrow is the time limit set by Cao Wenxi,
the remaining members of the Cao n will definitely counterattack with all their might. You should
remember to protect yourself and Chengye."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded, "I know. Don''t worry."
Though worried, Yun Shang had a good sleep at night. On the second day, she got up early and let
Qian Liu dress her up. Then she asked softly, "Where is Qian Zhuo?"
Qian Liu answered softly, "Qian Zhuo went out early this morning and hasn''te back yet."
Yun Shang nodded slightly. She must have gone out to inquire information. When she was about to
stand up, she heard Pei Lan, who was standing by the window and sorting out the flowers in the vase,
Yun Shang looked up and saw Pei Lan looking out of the window. She knew she must have seen Qian
Zhuo. Sure enough, not long after, Yun Shang heard footsteps.
Qian Zhuo came in with breakfast in her hands. She bowed to Yun Shang and put the dishes on the
table. "Your majesty, it''s time for breakfast."
Yun Shang nodded and sat down at the table. Then she looked up at Qian Zhuo, who was cing the
spoon, and asked, "I heard that you disappeared this morning. Where have you been?"
She smiled and put the spoon in the bowl. She stepped back half a step and said softly, "I went to the
private prison to have a look. His Former Majesty didn''t take Cao Wenxi away, but Cao Wenxi seemed
to be fine. She kept muttering, "east, west, south, north. I don''t understand. "
"Oh? What did she mean? " Yun Shang frowned, confused.
Qian Zhuo curled her lips and said, "I don''t know either, but she has been repeating it all the time, so I
keep it in mind. By the way, his majesty sent a secret guard to ask Lord Hua Guo about the rtionship
between the courtiers who have recently entered the Jin city and the Cao n. Lord Hua Guo replied
that he was only a general at that time and didn''t know much about the intrigues in the court. He only
knows that at that time, Zhao Qicheng, the grand tutor, didn''t have a good rtionship with the Cao
n and often quarreled in the court. "
Yun Shang remembered this name, Zhao Qicheng. In the list she saw yesterday, his name ranked first.
"Since they don''t have a good rtionship with the Cao n, I''m afraid that the possibility of Cao Wenxi
inviting them here is very small. Is it really a coincidence?" Yun Shang frowned and murmured.
Hearing this, Qian Liu said, "If there are one or two of them, it''s possible to be coincidences. But these
people all appeared in the Jin city at the same time. If it''s a coincidence, I will never believe it. But, if
the Cao n didn''t invite them here, your majesty, do you think it is possible that the person who invited
them to the Jin city is His Former Majesty? "
"His Former Majesty?" Yun Shang was shocked. She pondered for a moment, pounded the table and
stood up. "I didn''t expect that it might be His Former Majesty. The one who hated Cao Wenxi the most
in the world now was probably Xia Huanyu. For so many years, even if Cao Wenxi threatened him with
the two secrets, Xia Huanyu would not sit still and wait for death. Maybe he has prepared something to
deal with it in secret. "
"If it was His Former Majesty who called them, your majesty, you don''t have to be so worried." Qian
Zhuo said with a smile.
While they were talking, a loud voice came from outside, "Your majesty, your majesty..."
Yun Shang frowned, looked up at Qian Zhuo and said, "Someone is calling me outside. It sounds like
Qi Ruihai''s voice."
Qian Zhuo listened carefully. After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, it sounds like Lord Qi. But why
does Lord Qi sound so anxious?"
While they were talking, a servant outside reported, "Your Majesty, the head of the Neishi Bureau, Qi
Ruihai, is here to see you."
"It''s really him." Yun Shang whispered and nodded.
Qian Zhuo walked to the door and lifted the bead curtain. "Lord Qi, pleasee in."
Qi Ruihai came in in a hurry with an anxious look on his face. He walked three steps away from Yun
Shang and knelt down with a bang. "Your majesty, please save the neenth Prince."
"The neenth Prince." Yun Shang was also surprised, "What''s wrong with the neenth Prince?"
Qi Ruihai hurriedly said, "This morning, Lady Wan found that there was something wrong with the
neenth Prince. His face was pale, his pulse was disordered, and he was in aa. Lady Wan didn''t
dare to call for an imperial physician, so I had to ask your majesty for help. Your majesty has excellent
medical skills. Please save the neenth Prince. "
Yun Shang frowned. The neenth Prince had been fed with the forbidden medicine, so they didn''t
dare to call for an imperial physician. ording to Qi Ruihai''s words, it is serious now.
"Qian Zhuo, get my medicine box. Go to the Huaixiu Pce with me." Looking at the anxious look on
Qi Ruihai''s face, Yun Shang raised her eyes and ordered Qian Zhuo.
Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry. Qi Ruihai kowtowed again and again. "Thank you, your majesty."
Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "Let''s go."
When they arrived, Lady Wan had already been pacing back and forth in the pce. As soon as she
saw Yun Shang, she ran out in a hurry. But she tripped over the high threshold of the main hall and fell
to the ground. Her simple bun was loosened, which made Lady Wan''s pale face look even more
deste.
A servant hurriedly helped Lady Wan up. Regardless of the dust on her body, Lady Wan quickly walked
to Yun Shang and knelt down in a hurry. "Your majesty, please, please save my An An."
An An seemed to be the nickname of the neenth Prince. Looking at Lady Wan''s red eyes and
messy hair, Yun Shang sighed. Such an anxious expression reminded Yun Shang of herself in her
previous life and she was more sympathy.
Yun Shang helped Lady Wan up and said, "You don''t have to be so courteous, Lady Wan. Please take
me to see the neenth Prince. Don''t dy."
Lady Wan nodded and took Yun Shang into the inner hall. She was so anxious that she pinched Yun
Shang''s hand so hard that it hurt. Yun Shang turned around to look at the tear on her face, but didn''t
say anything. She just followed Lady Wan into the inner hall.
The neenth Prince was lying on the bed, covered with two thick quilts. Yun Shang only saw a small
head exposed outside. The neenth Prince''s eyes were closed, and his face was pale.
Yun Shang frowned, "It''s not winter yet. Why is he covered with two thick quilts?" Yun Shang ordered
Qian Zhuo to put the medicine box on the chair beside, and lifted the quilt on the top.
