Chapter 1093 The Chess Piece


    "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"


    Yun Shang sneered, "Of course I want Hua Yutong to understand that it''s not easy to sling mud at me."


    After changing the court clothes, Yun Shang got on the Empress''s Phoenix carriage and headed for the


    downtown under the escort of guards and the government officials.


    The ce was still very lively. Yun Shang was able to hear the noise of discussion even when she was


    still in the Empress'' carriage.


    "Herees her majesty!"


    those discussions seemed to be lowered all of a sudden, and only the voices of the government


    officials pushing the people to both sides of the road could be heard, "Get out of the way. Her majesty


    is here, and everyone stays away."


    The Empress'' carriage kept moving forward until Yun Shang heard a maid''s voiceing from outside,


    "Here we are, your majesty..."


    The door of carriage was opened and the bead curtain was lifted. Yun Shang bent down slightly,


    walked out of the carriage and held the servant''s hand.


    "Long live Your Majesty!" the greetings were deafening.


    Yun Shang nced around silently at the people kneeling down and then looked at Hua Yutong in front


    of her.


    "The seventh princess," Yun Shang said indifferently.


    "I..."


    before Hua Yutong could finish her words, Yun Shang interrupted her, "Oh, I shouldn''t have called you


    the seventh princess. Xia Houjing is rebellious and treacherous. He is no longer the noble seventh


    Prince. You... of course not the seventh princess, but a traitor''s wife. "


    Hua Yutong''s face suddenly changed color.


    Yun Shang cast a cold nce at her and said, "I heard that an assassin entered your yardst night


    and killed the two pregnant concubines of the traitor Xia Houjing. It should be two corpses and four


    lives. And you took the corpses to the downtown early this morning and spread rumors. You said that


    the Emperor and I had sent people to kill the two people secretly? Is it true? "


    Hua Yutong gritted her teeth and straightened her back, "Indeed, it''s true."


    Yun Shang smiled, "I have known what you said before. You said that I don''t want to be med for


    being heartless for the sake of my reputation, but I want to get rid of Xia Houjing''s children in order to


    avoid future trouble. So I came up with this idea and killed these two concubines and children secretly.


    You said you didn''t dare to report it to the officials, because his majesty and I are the rulers of the State


    of Xia, and no official dared to me me or his majesty. Maybe this matter would have to be left


    unsettled."


    Yun Shang sneered, "You really don''t know me at all.


    "Am I heartless?" Yun Shang sneered, "Xia Houjing is rebellious. As the seventh princess, you have


    tried the best of your whole family to help Xia Houjingto rebel tantly. Your father was arranging


    everything carefully for Xia Houjing in Liucang City. These two concubines are the daughters of the


    noble ns in Liucang City. Xia Houjing married them in order to get the support of their family... "


    "By the way, both you and the two concubines have contributed a lot to Xia Houjing''s rebellion. You are


    also rebellious women. His majesty and I can get your lives legally. Then why did you say we are


    heartless?"


    What''s more, even if I want to secretly dispose of these two women and the unborn children, I will


    definitely not leave you behind, leaving a hidden trouble for myself. If I were the one who attacked


    them, I''m afraid you wouldn''t be able to appear here today and cry for their grievances.


    All right then. Since you want me to punish you so much, I should fulfill your wish. Somebody... "


    A guard immediately stepped forward and answered, "Yes!"


    "Arrest the treacherous woman, Hua Yutong, and put her into jail for treason, nder of me and his


    majesty. Then send someone to Liucang City and arrest Hua Yutong and all the other wives and


    concubines of Xia Houjing, including their families, and then escort them to Jin City. "


    The guard stepped forward and took Hua Yutong away.


    Yun Shang nced at Hua Yutong''s incredulous expression and said with a smile, "I''m afraid you have


    some misunderstandings about his majesty and me. We don''t need a good reputation. The people of


    the State of Xia don''t need a merciful Emperor either. What they need is a good emperor. There is a


    huge gap between them. His majesty will be a good emperor, but not a merciful one.


    By the way, when I visit Xia Houjing in prison today, I will tell him everything, and let him know that his


    wife has killed his unborn children in order to nder his majesty and my reputation...


    Guards, take her away!"


    After the guards took Hua Yutong away, Yun Shang''s eyes fell on the two corpses on the ground again,


    "Send someone to identify the two corpses as soon as possible to see if they are Xia Houjing''s


    concubines and children. If their identities are true, they will be buried ording to the standards of the


    concubines of the seventh Prince. If not, find out their identity and deal with the funeral properly."


    "Yes, your majesty."


    Everything settled, Yun Shang turned around and got on the Empress'' carriage.

    "Her Majesty will return to the Pce!"


    "See you off, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"


    It was not until they returned to the Weiyang Pce that Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu let out a long sigh of


    relief.


    Qian Zhuo helped Yun Shang take off her robe, handed it to a servant nearby and put it away carefully.


    Then she said softly, "Judging from Hua Yutong''s expression, it seems that she didn''t expect you to


    appear."


    Yun Shang lifted her hand casually, took off the Golden Phoenix hairpin from her head, and handed it


    to Qian Zhuo, "It''s not appropriate for me to show up or not to show up. I can''t find any evidence to


    prove that it was not me or his majesty who did it in a short time. Even if I find the evidence, I''m afraid


    that the onlookers will think that I''m lying.


    As the onlookers said, I can''t ask the officials from Yamen to investigate the case. Even if I send


    someone to investigate it, they will only it is the scapegoat that I find.


    But if I don''t show up, it will show that I am guilty."


    Qian Liu brought the daily clothes for Yun Shang. Yun Shang stretched out her hands and let Qian Liu


    help put them on. Then she continued, "So whether I show up or not, Hua Yutong has a way to deal


    with it.


    What she didn''t expect is that I didn''t show any evidence that I wasn''t the murderer, nor did I ask


    people to find out the truth. I just told the onlookers that both Hua Yutong and the two pregnant


    concubines deserved to die.


    What''s more, she didn''t expect that I would order people to arrest her and even her family for treason."


    Qian Zhuo curled her lips and said, "It''s the right way to deal with people like Hua Yutong. We should


    kill her by surprise."


    Yun Shang smiled. Thinking of Luo Qingyan''s words yesterday, she squinted again and said, "As for


    Hua Yutong, I''m afraid she is just a chess piece. The real yer is still hiding behind. I have to


    <ppletely mess up his game before I can force him to show up. "
