Chapter 1358 What Should We Do


    Luo Qingyan shook his head, "I don''t know."


    Then he sighed, "Their request is too ridiculous. I can''t understand why they do this way either."


    Yun Shang pursed her lips. She understood what Luo Qingyan meant. She asked again, "What should


    we do then? These three cities... We''ll cede them or not? "


    Yun Shang thought about it carefully for a moment, and then she sighed, "They have really brought us


    trouble. In thest letter, they asked us not to make public the disappearance of Chengye and not to


    look for him openly. But now they ask you to issue a public announcement that you will cede three


    cities to the State of Yng.


    We have to give up the cities and announce it to the world. However, we can''t tell the people of the


    State of Xia that Chengye is missing. This matter... This is really a sticky case... "


    Luo Qingyan nodded and pursed his lips. Then he said, "Maybe they just want to make things difficult


    for us? They just want the whole State of Xia to know that we are willing to bow our heads to the State


    of Yng and give up three cities. "


    Yun Shang opened her mouth but didn''t know what to say.


    The hardest person to make a choice now, was Luo Qingyan.


    Luo Qingyan seemed to know what Yun Shang was thinking. He patted Yun Shang''s arm and


    them and think out a win-win solution."


    Yun Shang nodded, not knowing what to say further.


    After a while, Liu Wenan came to report that several ministers were waiting in the Meeting Hall.


    Luo Qingyanforted Yun Shang for a while and left with Liu Wenan.


    After eating, Yun Shang stood in the bedroom. She was not in the mood to do anything. She could not


    focus herself on reading or dealing with something.


    After quite some time, she stood up again and said, "I''ll go to have a look in the East Pce."


    Qian Zhuo responded and followed her behind.


    "Last night, the secret guards interrogated that servant named Qin Yue. Though the maid looked young


    and weak, she was tough. We put her to torture and she passed out several times. However, every


    time after she was sshed awake, she still kept silent and said nothing. "


    This was also within the range of Yun Shang''s expectation. She pointed out, "If she weren''t tough, I''m


    afraid she wouldn''t have been chosen to get close to Chengye."


    Qian Zhuo pursed her lips and then stole a look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang was much calmer than she


    thought, but her calmness made her feel more worried.


    Along the way to the East Pce, Yun Shang didn''t say anything further.


    After entering Chengye''s bedroom, Yun Shang just stood there still. Chengye was still young, so


    everything in the room was made ording to his height. Thus they were all little, cute and exquisite.


    There were many toys and books on the bookshelf. On the desk were several books and a half written


    paper.


    Yun Shang walked to the desk and looked at the paper.


    It seemed that he was practicing calligraphy. The words on the paper were just like a ghost''s drawing,


    which Yun Shang was very familiar with.


    What had been written on the half sheet of paper should be the same in content. Yun Shang tried to


    figure out what they meant, but she failed.


    Yun Shang touched the paper with a smile in her eyes.


    While she was thinking, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Aunt, the Empress. Aunt, the Empress!"


    Raising her eyebrows, Yun Shang turned to the door and asked in a low voice, "Is it Yan''er?"


    "Yes, your majesty," Qian Zhuo replied, "It''s the young master from the Lord Hua Guo''s mansion. He


    heard that your majesty is here, so he insisted oning."


    Yun Shang nodded, "Let Yan''er in."


    Qian Zhuo responded and went out to lead Yan''er in.


    Yan''er curtsied to Yun Shang quickly, "Aunt, I heard that Brother, the Crown Prince, is sick? Is he better


    now? "


    Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Your brother, the Crown Prince had a fever, but it has gone. However, he


    is still not in good spirit. He is now in Weiyang Pce for recuperation. When he recovers, he wille


    back to y with you."


    "All right."


    As soon as Yan''er finished speaking, he saw the paper on the table by the side. He blinked, "Ah,


    brother, the Crown Prince hasn''t finished the homework assigned by the Grand Tutor yet?"


    Yun Shang looked at the paper and smiled, "Is this the homework assigned by the Grand Tutor? What


    homework is it? "


    "It''s a calligraphy practice. We were asked to copy the first sentence of the Three Character ssic--


    Man''s nature at birth is good. The Grand Tutor asked us to copy it on a full page and I have finished my


    task. I have memorized all the contents in the Three Character ssic before I entered the pce. "


    Yun Shang smiled, "You''re awesome."


    "Well, just so so. After all, I''m older than brother, the Crown Prince." Yan''er touched his hair with


    embarrassment.


    "But as brother, the Crown Prince is sick, the Grand Tutor didn''te to teach us. Thus brother, the

    Crown Prince can finish his homework after he recovers."


    Yun Shang nodded and then asked, "Are you used to living in the pce?"


    "I''m used to it." Yan''er immediately became excited, "The pce is much more interesting than outside.


    I can have whatever I want. The maids are also very nice, and the Grand Tutor''s lecture is very


    interesting, much better than that of our old master''s.


    I used to learn from the old master in the mansion. I couldn''t recite those books well. It seems much


    easier to remember the books to learn from the Grand Tutor."


    Yun Shang smiled, "That''s good, as long as you like it."


    Then she asked with concern, "Do you miss your mom?"


    Yan''er pursed his lips and kept silent for a while. Then he nodded honestly, "Yes, I do.


    I haven''t seen my mother for more than half a month. I don''t know if her belly is big or not. Did my


    brother or sister kick her?


    By the way, aunt the Empress." Yan''er raised his head and went on, "When I was at home, my mother


    couldn''t eat well because she was pregnant with my brother or sister. She liked to eat something sour.


    A few days ago, I had some stewed pork in the pce. I don''t know what it is made of. It is sour, sweet


    and very delicious. I believe my mother will like it. Aunt, the Empress, can you ask the the imperial


    kitchen to cook some of that dish and send it to my home so that my mother can have a try? "


    Yun Shang raised her hand and touched Yan''er''s head, "Of course, I can,"


    Yun Shang said gently, "It was aunt, the Empress who ignored it. I''ll ask someone to see what the dish


    is, and then let them make it. By the way, they will write down the recipe and send it together with the


    food to the mansion."


    "Thank you, aunt, the Empress." Yan''er was overjoyed.


    Yun Shang''s face softened, "By the way, your brother, the Crown Prince, has to rest for a few more


    days. You can go back to your mansion for a period of time these days. When Crown Prince recovers, I


    will send someone to take you back to the pce."


    "Great!" Yan''er jumped with joy, "In that case, I can see my mother!"


    With that, he wanted to run out, "I''m going to pack up my things! I''ve got a lot of toys. I can take them


    out of the pce and y with my mother''s unborn brother or sister. "


    Looking at Yan''er''s happiness, Yun Shang smiled, turned around and ordered Qian Zhuo, "Send


    someone to arrange it. Let Yan''er stay at Lord Hua Guo''s mansion for a few days."


    "Yes, your majesty."
