Perhaps it was because everyone knew that Yun Shang would be back soon that there was no one else in the Taiji Palace. Even Liu Wenan just sent her to the door and stood there without following her in.
As soon as Yun Shang entered the palace, Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and fixed them on Yun Shang, who had just entered the palace. He opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry. Chengye is fine."
Yun Shang was surprised and stopped subconsciously. "He is fine? Then why have I heard that Chengye was kidnapped and missing on the way back to the palace?"
Luo Qingyan stood up and walked to Yun Shang. He held Yun Shang's hand and said, "It's true that he was kidnapped and missing. But it's a play staged by me."
"A play?" Yun Shang frowned with confusion in her eyes.
Luo Qingyan nodded, "There was no assassin. I arranged the assassin, and I arranged Chengye to disappear. He is fine now. Now the State of Xia is in turmoil. When I was in the temporary imperial palace, Xia Houjing didn't come to me. I always felt a little worried. When I thought about it carefully, if Xia Houjing wants to threaten me to hand over the antidote, the persons he can use to threaten me are you and Chengye.
Although I believed I could protect Chengye well, I really didn't want to risk his safety, so I planned this, making everyone think that Chengye was kidnapped."
Yun Shang's finger moved slightly, and the worry that had been pressing on her heart finally eased a little. "Then where is Chengye now? Is he safe?"
"Of course he is safe." Luo Qingyan smiled, "I've sent him to the State of Ning. Now he's with your parents."
"The State of Ning?" Yun Shang was really surprised. She had thought about this possibility and wondered where Luo Qingyan would hide Chengye, but she never thought that it would be the State of Ning.
"Do you think it's a little inconceivable?" Luo Qingyan's eyes were full of smile.
"Yes, I didn't expect that."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "Even you can't think of it, our enemies will naturally be less likely to think of it. Only by surprise can we win the enemy."
Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good."
Luo Qingyan told her the most important thing to make her stop worrying. Then he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you wear more? It's so cold outside."
Yun Shang shook her head, "Not very cold."
Luo Qingyan nodded. Yun Shang's hand was indeed not cold. "It was not until you entered the pass and the secret guards received you that I realized that you didn't go to Cangjue Qingsu's place. Instead, you had been staying in the Wu Er'he City. Why did you stay in the city?"
Yun Shang smiled and told Luo Qingyan everything in detail.
A smile appeared in Luo Qingyan's eyes. He raised his hand and touched Yun Shang's hair. "My empress, you are so smart. You can think of such a trick that can smoothly poison Cangjue Qingsu and protect yourself to the most extent." "Of course. I have promised you that I will protect myself well."
Then she asked in a hurry, "I heard from the secret guard that something happened to Qian Zhuo. What happened?"
"She encountered an ambush on her way back. When she walked on a road close to the cliff, the road collapsed directly and she fell off together with the carriage. When the secret guards went to find her, she was already gone.
They have made great efforts to set up a lot of secret spies in the city. If there was really something wrong, they would definitely notice it.
Yun Shang pressed her lips, "After I entered the city, I strolled around the city and then went to Qian Yin."
Yun Shang quickly told Luo Qingyan what Qian Yin had said and their conjectures. "I've been thinking that if Xia Houjing wants to seize the throne, even if Your Majesty is not in the city, it won't be easy for Xia Houjing to make a move.
Not to mention anything else, lack of weapons were a big problem for him.
Although the Jin City is the Imperial City and there are many people coming and going every day, it's not easy for so many people to sneak in without being noticed. Besides, they need weapons.
But now I know what Xia Houjing is thinking. He must have planned it for a long time. These people who replaced the people in the city must sneak into the city a long time ago."
Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "They could sneak into the city when you just took the throne, when you held the enthronement ceremony, and when you celebrated Wanshou Festival, there were a lot of people coming and going in the city. Xia Houjing's people could be divided into several groups to sneak into the city, and then quietly settled down in the city. Then, one by one, they replaced the ordinary people living in the city.
Because it was done in secret, we didn't discover it immediately." Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "In this way, they will have soldiers. As for the weapons..."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "I've thought about it all the way. I think we are too narrowminded about the definition of weapons.
The soldiers who helped to usurp the throne may be ordinary people, so the weapons they use can also be ordinary things that we often see, such as kitchen knives and hoes."
