Chapter 1344 Questioning
Hearing Luo Qingyan''s question, Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing, "I don''t know."
"Then why did she nod her head? Wasn''t she afraid of being found out by Ling Ziyue? " Luo Qingyan
found it incredible.
Yun Shang lowered her eyes. In order to cover her smile, she coughed and said, "They made such a
nst night. Thedies have already known the truth from me, but Prince Qingyue doesn''t.
If I were Prince Ming Yue, I would have warned her highness to be careful in front of me beforeing
to the pce and not to let their ns fail. So it seemed that Prince Ming Yue were probably asking
Princess Ming Yue about today''s situation. "
"Gee." Luo Qingyan clicked his tongue and said, "You seem have a thorough understanding of Prince
Ming Yue''s thoughts."
''Is this...
mature vinegar jar overturned again?''
thought Yun Shang feeling amused, but she pretended to be serious, "Except for your Majesty''s, I will
never try to figure out other men''s thoughts. I''m just guessing bymon sense."
Luo Qingyan''s face softened a little, but still he snorted and turned his head away.
After a few songs and dances, while the hall was quiet, someone suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, I
heard a somewhat ridiculous rumor outside the Pcest night. Have you heard it, your majesty?"
Ling Ziyue slightly raised his eyes and looked at the minister who was speaking.
"Oh?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows inquiring, "What rumor then? Now that Lord Qian said that it is
a very ridiculous rumor, how could anyone dare to mention it me? "
Lord Qian lowered his eyes and reported, "I heard that his majesty and the eighth princess from the
State of Youyue went out to enjoynterns and that you were seen to be intimatest night. Later, your
Majesty was assassinated in the street, which caused your identity to be exposed along with the news
of going to thentern show with the princess. The news has spread everywhere, causing countless
spections. "
"What guess?"
"It is said that your majesty intended to take the eighth princess from the State of Youyue as your
concubine, and that the envoys from State of Youyue came here for their princess'' marriage alliance.
It''s also said that the Emperor and the Empress are not as affectionate as they look. "
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan only smiled, but said nothing.
Another Lord nearby, however, stood up and cupped his hands towards the seat of honor. He then

turned to Lord Qian, "The rumors Lord Qian heard are a bit out of date, aren''t they?
I''ve heard of another story, and I''ve seen it with my own eyes."
"Oh?" Luo Qingyan turned and exchanged a smile with Yun Shang while asking, "What''s the matter? It
was just a festiventern showst night. Was it possible that I could make out ten or eight different
stories? "
"Last night, I saw with my own eyes that the Emperor and the Empress enjoy thenterns at the
festival, and saw the Emperor and the Empress go to a restaurant for dinner. Atst, I saw Master Liu
Not only did I see it with my own eyes, but also many people who were enjoying the festiventern
show witnessed it with their own eyes."
"Yes."
"I saw it too."
"Yes. I heard that his majesty won thentern king for the Empress in person at the festiventern
show."
"I heard the rumor Lord Qian mentioned, but it had been refutedter? It wasn''t his majesty who had
apanied the princess from the State of Youyue to enjoy thenterns, but that man''s appearance
was somewhat simr to his majesty''s. As a result, he was mistaken by someone who shouted out that
his majesty had been assassinated. "
"Later, the vendor by the side also personally confirmed that the Emperor and the Empress were right
near his ce at that time. When the fake emperor was being assassinated, the Emperor was ying
antern riddle and winning thentern king for the Empress."
Lord Qian didn''t seem to hear the rumors that others had said. He looked a little confused and asked,
"Is that so?"
Luo Qingyan noticed that Ling Ziyue frowned with confusion in his eyes.
The fake Princess Ming Yue and the eighth princess from the State of Youyue looked even more
flustered. They didn''t expect things to go on this way.
Yun Shang, however, smiled, "The other masters are right. The rumors Lord Qian heard are a little out
of date. The eighth princess from the State of Youyue and the other were indeed assassinated, but
they were mistaken as the Emperor and me, when we happened to be about one hundred meters away
from the ce where the ident urred.
At that moment, his Majesty was indeed guessing the riddle and winning thentern king for me.
Because of that incident, his Majesty''s progress was interrupted. Later, after the crowd dispersed, I
apanied his majesty to take thentern King away. Now thentern king is still in my Weiyang
Pce. "
Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Ling Ziyue''s face darkened. He didn''t expect that things would develop
like this.
Yun Shang still had a smile on her face. She looked up at the eighth princess from the State of Youyue
and asked, "But who was the one who went to thentern show with your highness and was mistaken
as the Emperor?
Your Highness, did you do it on purpose? In order to make people misunderstand about the case and
spread the rtive rumors, so that the Emperor would have to be forced by the pressure of the rumors
to ept your highness into the pce?
If it weren''t for the fact that his majesty and I were there at that time, if Master Liu hadn''te to pick
us up with the imperial carriage, and if many people hadn''t seen us on the street, today, the situation
would have been different."
The eighth princess from the State of Youyue was shocked and flustered. She quickly stood up and
bowed, "Your majesties must have misunderstood..."
"Misunderstood? I don''t think there is any misunderstanding here? Otherwise, why was it so coincident
that you would go to thentern show with a person who looked like his majesty? Was it so coincident
that you were assassinated? What a coincidence! And you were mistaken? And then there were
rumors that his Majesty would take you as his concubine? "
Although Yun Shang wore a smile on her face, it was full of coldness there, "It would be fine if it was
just a coincidence. But it seems that someone has deliberately set up this trap."
"No, it''s not like that," the eighth princess from the State of Youyue exined in session.
"Really so?" Yun Shang immediately replied, "If that''s not the case, then tell me what the truth is? And
who went to thentern festival with you? "
Ling Ziyue frowned more tightly and gritted his teeth. Although his identity had been exposed to Luo
Qingyan and Yun Shang, in the eyes of others, he was still a small official from the State of Yihai and
had no right to defend the princess from the State of Youyue.
He suddenly understood Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan''s n and why they had let him go so easily
before...
