Before Yun Shang arrived at the Qinxin Palace, a servant came in a hurry and reported, "Your Majesty, Lady Cao has woken up."
Yun Shang nodded slightly. Yesterday, the imperial physician said that Cao Shanxiu could wake up soon if there is no accident. That meant no one had done anything to Cao Shanxiu last night.
When they arrived at the Qinxin palace, Yun Shang got off the Phoenix chariot and went into the yard. Two servants were chatting at the door. When they saw Yun Shang, they stood up in a hurry and curtsied to her. "Greetings, your majesty."
Yun Shang glanced at the two people who looked a little nervous. Her eyes were cold, but she didn't say anything in the end.
After passing through the main hall and entering the bedroom, she saw a maid feeding Cao Shanxiu medicine. The fifteenth Princess stood aside and looked around with a slight frown. She saw Yun Shang at once. Then she withdrew her gaze and looked down at her dress.
Yun Shang walked to the bedside, and Cao Shanxiu was about to stand up. Yun Shang hurriedly stopped her and smiled gently, "You don't have to stand up, Lady Cao. You were poisoned yesterday because of my dancing dress. I'm really sorry for that."
Cao Shanxiu hurriedly said, "I'm fine, your majesty."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "You were still in a coma when I left Weiyang Palace. I left in a hurry because I was worried. I'll ask Qian Zhuo to send you some ginseng later. It's good for your health." Afraid that Cao Shanxiu would refuse, Yun Shang continued before she could say anything, "Lady Cao has a good daughter. You have been poisoned in the past two days, which makes the fifteenth Princess worried. She has been taking care of you these two days."
Cao Shanxiu was shocked and looked up at the fifteenth Princess. The fifteenth Princess pursed her lips and said with disgust, "Who cares about her?" Then she snorted and walked out of the bedroom.
A touch of disappointment flashed through Cao Shanxiu's eyes. The maid with a medicine bowl beside her quickly said, "Your Highness, her majesty didn't lie to you. Last night, the fifteenth Princess stayed up all night. She was afraid that something might happen to you, so she didn't dare to sleep all night."
Stunned, Cao Shanxiu turned to look at the maid, with disbelief in her eyes. Yun Shang smiled, "There is no daughter in the world who really dislikes her mother, isn't there?"
Seeing that Cao Shanxiu didn't say anything, Yun Shang] thought for a while and said, "You said before that the fifteenth Princess could marry a good man. As long as the man can be good to her, he is not necessarily a high -ranking official or a noble one. I've been looking for someone in the court these days, and I've also chosen a few people with good character and talent. In two days, I'll also someone to collect their information and send it to you."
Cao Shanxiu lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your concern, your majesty."
Yun Shang smiled and chatted with for a while. Then she left the Qinxin Palace with Qian Zhuo and got on the Phoenix chariot. Yun Shang ordered servants to carry her to the Weiyang Palace.
"Your majesty, who do you want the fifteenth Princess to marry?" Qian Zhuo asked with curiosity in her eyes.
Yun Shang glanced at her lightly and teased, "You don't care about anything else, but you seem interested in such things."
Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue and smiled, "I'm just curious."
Yun Shang shook her head and said thoughtfully, "The point is not who I'm going to marry the fifteenth Princess."
"What?" Qian Zhuo blinked her eyes and asked in confusion, "Then what is the point?"
Yun Shang curled her lips and said, "Cao Shanxiu loves her daughter very much. I'm testing her deliberately to propose marriage for the fifteenth Princess. The point is not who the fifteenth Princess will marry, but whether or not Cao Shanxiu will follow my arrangement. If she agrees, it means that she can trust me with all her heart. Of course I will trust her, and I will arrange the best one for the fifteenth Princess. But if she doesn't agree, how can I believe her? "
Seeing the curiosity in Qian Zhuo's eyes, Yun Shang smiled and said, "Although the fifteenth Princess is a little spoiled, she is still a princess. If his majesty and I show a little favor to her, many men will surely want to marry her."
After thinking for a while, Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue and stopped asking.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang saw Ning Qian standing in the yard and looking up as if she was looking at something.
Yun Shang got off the Phoenix chariot and walked to Ning Qian. She also raised her head. Except for the clouds, there were occasionally birds flying in the sky, and there was no special scenery. "What are you looking at?" Yun Shang looked away and asked softly.
Ning Qian turned around and smiled, "Look at the clouds. It's really spring. The clouds in the sky are a little warmer than winter, like cotton."
Yun Shang looked up again, but didn't see anything special. She shook her head and pouted, "Why are you so poetic? Why didn't you ask someone to tell me that you were here? If I haven't come back, will you wait here all the time?"
Ning Qian smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to wait. It's good to see white clouds and flying birds. Since I left the palace, I always feel that everything in the palace seems to be framed."
Yun Shang glared at Ning Qian and said crossly, "You are here to poke my heart, aren't you?"
Ning Qian snorted. Yun Shang heard her grinding her teeth, "What a bastard Wang Jinhuan is!"
Then she rushed out of the bedroom regardless of anything. Yun Shang laughed so hard that her stomach ached, but she heard the bead curtain ringing again. Yun Shang stopped smiling and looked up. She saw Ning Qian standing at the door, taking out a piece of parchment from her sleeve and throwing it to Yun Shang. "Here you go."
Then she left in a hurry.
Yun Shang stopped laughing and straightened up. She opened the parchment, and her smile faded away.
Qian Zhuo noticed the change of Yun Shang's expression. She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "What happened?"
Yun Shang shook her head and said with a smile, "Nothing serious. Some girls in Mingfeng House heard some court officials discussing something there."
Qian Yin didn't know what Yun Shang was talking about. Judging from Yun Shang's expression, she knew it was not a good thing. She was a little worried.
"She thought she was as beautiful as a picture, but in fact, I was scared to death." The parrot whispered something that made people want to laugh, but Yun Shang had no mood to laugh. Something would happen, but no matter what, she wouldn't let those messy things disturb Luo Qingyan before he made a decision.
He had built a wall for her so that she wouldn't be attacked by the storms outside. But she couldn't be the pear blossom in the wall. The branches fell when the wind blew.
She had to learn to be a plum blossom standing proudly in the cold wind.
Yun Shang unfolded the parchment again. The handwriting of Ning Qian was hard, as if it was going to penetrate the back of the parchment. There were only a few words on it: Xia Houjing just pretends to be defeated in order to lure the enemy into depth. Xia Houjing asked some officials to spread the news that the Empress was infertile and the prince was mentally disabled.
