Chapter 1147 The Birthday Gifts


    Yun Shang was surprised, "Did Liu Yinfeng leave Liucang City?"


    Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "I thought there was something wrong with Liucang City, Siyang City and


    Nanyang City, because Xia Houjing had made trouble in these ces before, and also because the


    craftsmen of the Ministry of Revenue had gone to this area. But the most important reason is that Liu


    Yinfeng went straight to Liucang City after he left the the Liucang City.


    I always feel that there is a reason for Liu Yinfeng to go there. In addition, there were all kinds of signs


    indicating something before, so both you and I suspect that he has sensed something wrong and


    traced in the Liucang City.


    Now Liu Yinfeng has left the Liucang City mostly because he didn''t find anything there. That''s why I


    suspect that we have all been tricked away by their scheme, "


    Yun Shang paced back and forth in the room. Then she turned to Luo Qingyan and asked, "Where did


    Prince Xian go after he left the Liucang City? He should know that you have sent someone to follow


    him all the time. Did he leave any message? "


    Luo Qingyan shook his head, "There is still a distance from the Liucang City to the Jin City. It will take


    some time even if the carrier pigeon sends the message. Thetest news I received is the news that


    Liu Yinfeng left the Liucang City three days ago. I haven''t got any further news yet. But ording to the


    secret guards over there, Liu Yinfeng is leaving for the north. "


    "The north?" Yun Shang walked quickly to the front of the map and found the location of the Liucang


    City with her fingers. Then she slowly moved north and wondered, "There seems to be no any special


    city to the north?"


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "Yes, there is indeed no special city to the north. But... there is a special country.


    "


    "A special country?" Yun Shang continued to move her fingers upward on the map, and soon she


    understood what Luo Qingyan meant, "The State of Yng?"


    Yun Shang withdrew her hand and turned to Luo Qingyan, "You mean Liu Yinfeng is going to the


    border of the State of Yng and the State of Xia? Did he find something in the Liucang City? Or did


    he get some news? Did he suspect or find that Xia Houjing''s people were connected with those from


    the State of Yng? That''s why he went there? "


    Luo Qingyan smiled, "I''m just suspecting about these possibilities.


    A few days ago, the State of Yng was defeated by us, so they had to withdraw their troops


    temporarily. But Cangjue Qingsu is not a man who would give up easily. He wille back soon to the


    battle.


    However, Xia Houjing has failed in his intrigues. And we have almost removed all their spies ced in


    the court as well as in the imperial household. It''s hard to guarantee that he won''t jump off the wall and


    collude with Cangjue Qingsu. I guess they would join hands to remove us first, so that they two can


    make their further ns."


    Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "If Xia Houjing wins the throne of the State of Xia on his own


    ability, I will think that he is a character. Even if we lose, we will be sincerely convinced. But if he really


    has an affair with Cangjue Qingsu, I will look down upon him regardless of the victory or defeat.


    Cangjue Qingsu is ambitious and cruel. If the soldiers of the State of Yng really invade the State of


    Xia, the people here will suffer a lot. For the sake of the throne and his own selfish interest, a person


    who can ignore the life and death of the people in his country may not deserve to be an emperor. "


    Luo Qingyan smiled, "You are wrong."


    Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "What''s wrong? Do you think for the sake of only the throne, a person


    can do anything in return? "


    "I didn''t mean this," Luo Qingyan put on a bigger smile and said, "I mean, what you said was wrong.


    Even if Xia Houjing and Cangjue Qingsu have a secret united rtion, they are definitely not our


    match. They will never win. "


    Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing, "You are so confident."


    "Of course," answered Luo Qingyan.


    While they two were talking, Liu Wenan''s voice came from outside, "Your Majesties, the Emperor of the


    State of Ning has sent some gifts for her majesty''''s birthday."


    "My father''s gifts?" Yun Shang quickly turned around and said, "Come on in. Let me have a look. What


    gift did Father and Mother give me?"


    With a smile, Liu Wenan came in with three brocade boxes in his hands. He put the boxes on the table


    and left.


    "There are three brocade boxes. One is a gift from my father, and the other is from my mother. And the


    third one, most likely from Chenxi. Let me have a look. "


    Yun Shang opened the biggest brocade box and saw a big jar in it. The jar was tightly sealed and


    looked rather mysterious.


    There was a piece of paper beside the jar.


    Yun Shang didn''t open the jar first. She just unfolded the paper and couldn''t helpughing when she


    saw the crooked handwriting on it.


    "Chenxi wrote it? What did he write? " seeing Yun Shangughing so happily, Luo Qingyan was also


    curious.


    Yun Shang put the paper back and said, "Chenxi said he had tried almost the whole Jin City''s food


    after he came here. He thought the best one was shrimp paste he had eaten at a stall. In the jar, is the


    shrimp paste he begged the seller to teach him to make. He also said that it took him more than half a


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    month to catch so many shrimps before he learned to make them into the shrimp paste. He made the


    shrimp paste himself. He tried several times and finally seeded. He asked me to have a taste. "


    Luo Qingyan also smiled, "He is very considerate. You should have a good taste of it."


    "I hope the taste is not too strange,"


    said Yun Shang. She held back herughter and picked up another box.


    There was a pair of shoes in the box. The shoes were embroidered with peony flowers, which was


    lifelike. Beside the shoes, there was a gilded card.


    "This should be from Mother. Mother is the best at embroidery,"


    said Yun Shang while unfolding the card, with a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, but her eyes


    were a little red, "Mother hopes that wherever I go, I will know that she will always be with me."


    Yun Shang closed the box carefully and opened thest one. Thest box was beautiful, not big, but a


    little longer.


    As soon as she opened it, Yun Shang saw a piece of bright yellow cloth inside, which was neatly folded


    and ced. On it, there was a little embroidery pattern, which seemed to be the edge of auspicious


    clouds.


    Yun Shang was somewhat familiar with this kind of embroidery. She frowned and said, "This is..."


    "Imperial edict,"


    Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan spoke out at the same time.


    Then they looked up at each other.


    "Why did Father give me the imperial edict? I''m in the State of Xia now. The imperial edict he gave me


    is useless,"


    but after saying that, she suddenly had a vague guess in her heart. But she felt that this conjecture was


    too impractical, so she frowned again.


    "Open it?" Luo Qingyan encouraged.


    Yun Shang nodded, took out the imperial edict and unfolded it slowly.
