Chapter 1086 An Old Friend


    Luo Qingyan frowned and stared at Xia Houjing for a long time. Then he shook his head and said,


    "Before I came here, I just thought that we should have an end after fighting for so many years. Now


    that I find that you don''t need me to end it. "


    Hearing this, Xia Houjing was a little excited, with obvious madness in his eyes. "What did you say?"


    Luo Qingyan shook his head and took Yun Shang out. Xia Houjing held the iron railing tightly and


    shouted at Luo Qingyan, "Luo Qingyan,e back. Aren''t you going to get rid of me?" I''ll ept it. I''ve


    sent people to assassinate you. Your wife is infertile and your child is mentally unstable. It''s all because


    of me. You came back, Luo Qingyan! "


    Luo Qingyan paused, but didn''t stop.


    After walking out, Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan with confusion in her eyes. "Your majesty, why


    did you let Xia Houjing go so easily?"


    Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at the entrance of the prison. The secret guards were covering


    the entrance. Luo Qingyan was lost in thought. After a long time, he turned to Yun Shang and said,


    "You have seen what Xia Houjing was like just now. Now, if we kill him easily, it will be a relief for him.


    Letting him live like this may be the biggest torture."


    Yun Shang lowered her head and thought for a long time. Then she nodded and said with a smile,


    "Your majesty is right."


    Yun Shang looked up at the sky. It was still early. She blinked and said with a smile, "Since we finally


    get out of the pce, your majesty, let''s take a walk around."


    Luo Qingyan looked around at the secret guards and nodded. The two of them left the Princess Pce


    together and walked slowly along the street.


    Although it was already afternoon, there were still a lot of hawkers on the street. Yun Shang picked out


    a few hairpins and then saw several people selling children''s. She held Luo Qingyan''s hand and


    walked over.


    "This bamboo dragonfly..." Before Yun Shang could finish her words, someone behind her asked, "How


    much is the rattle?"


    The voice was familiar to Yun Shang. Yun Shang held the bamboo dragonfly in her hand, but her ears


    pricked up involuntarily.


    "Sister, don''t buy it. Now our husband is in danger and he needs a lot of money. We''d better not waste


    money on this little thing. Besides, I''m still far from thebor. I''m afraid it''s too early to buy these things


    now. " Another soft voice came over.


    "It doesn''t matter. A rattle will just cost less than one or two taels of silver." The woman who had asked


    about the rattle replied in a low voice, "Your belly has shown. It''s not early to make preparations.


    Please pack it for me, boss."


    Yun Shang stood there with the bamboo dragonfly in her hand for a while, and the stall owner in front of


    her was a little impatient. He hurriedly urged, "Madam, do you still want the bamboo dragonfly?"


    Yun Shang shook her head, put the bamboo dragonfly back and turned around. The two women who


    bought the rattle behind Yun Shang also turned around at the same time. Their eyes met, but Yun


    Shang couldn''t help frowning. Why did she be like this now? She looked much haggard with


    some wrinkles on her face.


    When the woman saw Yun Shang, the rattle in her hand fell to the ground.


    "Sister, what''s wrong?" The other woman with obvious bulged belly beside her was shocked. She held


    the woman''s hand and was about to bent down to pick up the rattle.


    "Let''s go." Before she could reach the rattle, she was pulled by the woman beside her and hurried


    forward.


    "Sister, sister, what''s wrong?" The pregnant woman was confused and had to leave.


    Luo Qingyan withdrew his eyes from the two women and looked at the rattle on the ground thoughtfully.


    He said in a deep voice, "What a coincidence today. Is that Hua Yutong?"


    Yun Shang nodded, and the smile on her face disappeared. "It''s her. Why did she return to the Jin


    city?"


    Even buying a rattle could bother her. I''m afraid she must live a hard life now. It was no wonder that in


    this world, many people could add brilliance to your present splendor, but fewer could help you in your


    hour of need. Xia Houjing had be like this. As his wife, she couldn''t escape.


    Luo Qingyan was lost in thought, "I''m curious about the identity of the woman who followed Hua


    Yutong."


    "The woman following Hua Yutong?" Yun Shang was in a daze for a moment. She had paid all her


    attention to Empress Hua, but had no idea of anything else. Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and


    asked, "What''s wrong with that woman?"


    Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang''s hand and walked forward. He exined in a low voice, "As far as I


    know, Hua Yutong doesn''t have any sisters, but that woman calls her sister. It is said that when Xia


    Houjing was in Liucang City, he married many concubines."


    Yun Shang paused for a moment and understood what Luo Qingyan meant. "Your Majesty, do you


    suspect that the woman is one of Xia Houjing concubines?"


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "I saw her belly is not small anymore. It''s most likely Xia Houjing''s child."


    Yun Shang was stunned. She turned to Luo Qingyan and asked, "Is it possible that his majesty wants


    to get rid of that child?"


    Hearing Yun Shang''s question, Luo Qingyan stopped, turned around and knocked on Yun Shang''s


    forehead. "What are you talking about? Although I''m a little violent, I won''t hurt an unborn baby. I''m not


    as cruel and merciless as Xia Houjing, but it''s good for me to take advantage of the baby."


    Yun Shang didn''t know what Luo Qingyan wanted to do, but after this, she had no mood to go


    shopping, so she went back to the pce with Luo Qingyan.


    After returning to the pce, Yun Shang had been thinking about what had happened to Hua Yutong,


    and felt a little ufortable. Seeing this, Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo paid attention to her for a long time


    and finally asked, "Your majesty, are you having something on your mind today? You''ve been restless


    since you came back to the pce. Anything happened to Xia Houjing? "


    Yun Shang shook her head and murmured, "What can happen to Xia Houjing?" After a pause, she


    looked up at Qian Liu and said, "You have stayed in Liucang City for a long time before, right?"


    Qian Liu nodded and waved her hand repeatedly. "Although I have been in Liucang City for a while and


    met Xia Houjing several times, I have never betrayed your majesty..."


    Yun Shang didn''t know whether to cry or tough. "I didn''t say you betrayed me. I saw Empress Hua


    outside the pce today."


    As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Qian Zhuo reacted a little bit violently, "Why did that vicious


    womane back? Aren''t she afraid that your majesty will dismember her? "


    "How could I be so cruel?" Yun Shang took a nce at Qian Zhuo and sighed, "But she doesn''t seem


    to live a good life, so I want to ask how she was doing when in Liucang City."


    Hearing this, Qian Liu was stunned. She didn''t expect that Yun Shang would ask about it. She thought


    for a while and said, "In my opinion, when Empress Hua was in Liucang City, the seventh Prince


    treated her much better than when she was in Jin city. Maybe it was because of Hua Yutong''s family.


    Her father is still a little famous in Liu Cang, and the people of the noble ns in Siyang also respected


    him. ording to what Hua Yutong''s father said, the seventh Prince was good to her. "


    "But..." Qian Liu paused for a while and continued, "But I''m afraid he was not that good to her. The


    seventh Prince married concubines one after another in Liucang City. I heard that Hua Yutong


    quarreled with him at the beginning, butter she graduallypromised. When I saw herter, she


    looked more dignified and generous. Unfortunately, she looked lifeless and lost the energy she had


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    when she first came to the Jin city. "


    "She herself chose to betray your majesty." She pursed her lips and said sulkily.


    Yun Shang sighed slightly and sighed, "She chose this road by herself. I gave her a chance, but she


    didn''t choose the one I had arranged for her. Now that she ended up like this, it''s not my fault. Just as


    the emperor said, judging from her appearance today, perhaps living like this was the biggest


    punishment for her. Now that Xia Houjing is trapped, her life is even more difficult. Why do I bother to


    add insult to injury? "


    While they were talking, Liu Wenan came in in a hurry with a letter in his hand. Seeing this, Yun Shang


    said, "Lord Liu, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything important?"


    Liu Wenan sighed and nodded, "Your majesty, where is his majesty?"


    Yun Shang looked into the room and asked, "He should be in the study. What happened?"


    Liu Wenan sighed and took a deep breath before he said, "Yes, something happened. Prince Xian sent


    a letter to the pce. His servant said he left after writing the letter. "


    Yun Shang was shocked and asked, "What? He left after writing the letter? "


    Liu Wenan nodded and hurried to the study. Frowning, Yun Shang stood in the hall for a while. Then


    she walked out of the main hall and followed Liu Wenan into the study.


    Liu Wenan had already handed the letter in his hand to Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan opened the


    envelope and took out the letter. After reading it carefully, he took out another letter from the envelope


    and handed it to Yun Shang. "This is for you."


    Yun Shang was surprised. She took the letter in a hurry and unfolded it.


    A Yun.


    I''m sorry to say goodbye to you in this way. I''ve kept some secrets for so long that I can''t bear them.


    Now that these burdens have finally been removed, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I know that my


    mother and brother have done too many wrong things, but I can''t bear to see them suffer the


    consequences. In the end, I chose to escape awkwardly.


    I had no interest in power. I enjoyed traveling. As for the matter of the emperor, Qingyan is more


    suitable. After thinking for a long time, I broke my promise.


    You didn''t have to look for me. I just hope we could all be fine.
