As soon as he left the door, Yun Shang was stopped by Luo Qingyan's secret guards beside Yun Shang, "Princess, the lord has told you before leaving that if the concubine returns to the palace, it is best not to go out again. Now that the situation in the city is unpredictable, the prince is worried that the princess is in danger, so he invites the princess to return to the mansion."

Yun Chang froze for a moment, then remembered that Luo Qingyan had sent many hidden guards to follow her, but she was actually stopped, Yun Chang sighed softly, although she was anxious, she couldn't do anything, Frowning, he turned and returned to the palace.

When she returned to the house, she was still on the verge of restlessness. If the eldest princess kidnapped Xia Huanyu, she would have no way out. Now there are only two ways to choose. One is to coerce the emperor to order the world. It is extremely risky. She has to guard against someone with more ambitions in the court who will directly say that Xia Huanyu is dead and enthroned as emperor. After all, the eldest princess is a woman. It is against common sense. I'm afraid it will be bad.

The second is to hold all the princes in the court one by one, or simply kill them, and then they can directly ascend the throne as emperor. Although this method is slightly more difficult, it is the safest. Now that Xia Huanyu is in the hands of the eldest princess, Qi Wangyuan is no threat in Qizhou, and the next target of the eldest princess is either the Seventh Prince or Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang paced back and forth in the room, turned her eyes to see Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo standing in the room, and said, "You don't have to stay with me here, go help the prince."

Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo looked at each other, Qian Liu lowered her head and said softly, "But the prince is in the palace, now we can't enter the palace at all."

Yun Chang froze, sighed, but slowly calmed down in her heart, what happened to her, she panicked when encountering something related to Luo Qingyan. Yun Chang walked slowly to the soft couch and sat down. After a long silence, she said calmly, "Go and pour me a cup of tea."

Qianliu looked at Yunshang's face, then responded softly, and retreated.

Yun Shang leaned on the soft couch and sorted out the whole thing in detail. The eldest princess is afraid that she will quietly leave the mansion to arrange these things after entering the palace for an audience that day. Since Xia Huanyu disappeared in the palace and from Yunqi Palace, the eldest princess must have been hiding in Yunqi before. in the palace.

"Qianzhuo, go find some watery ones, sneak into the palace and send a message to Ning Qian, and let her look at the hidden stakes that we have placed in the palace to check. Has anything happened in Yunqi Palace recently? Stranger, if there is one, find out what she has done recently and pass it on one by one." Yun Chang ordered softly.

Qian Zhuo responded and retreated.

Qian Liu came in with tea, Yun Shang casually asked her to put the tea cup on the table, and asked her to go to the study together. Yunshang took the map of Jincheng from the bookshelf, frowned and looked at the map of Jincheng little by little, thinking in her heart, if she was the eldest princess, she would kidnap Xia Huanyu and Liu Huanyu. After Wen'an, where will he hide?

Yun Shang circled a few points on the map. The first one is the Princess's Mansion. Since the Princess has the intention to usurp the throne, and it doesn't happen every year or two, there must be many secret agencies in the Princess's Mansion. It shouldn't be difficult to hide.

The second one is in the palace. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. After Xia Huanyu disappeared, the queen's first reaction was to search for it in the palace, but precisely because of this, the queen searched the palace carefully immediately , they would take it for granted that Xia Huanyu was no longer in the palace.

The third one... Yun Shang's pen stopped above the Liu Mansion, dripping a drop of ink. For some reason, she suddenly felt that what Mrs. Liu did to the eldest princess that day was more like a play. Perhaps it was because of Mrs. Liu's excellent singing and writing that everyone felt that Liu's mansion and the eldest princess were torn apart...

Yun Chang wrote a pen and circled the Liu Mansion.

"Princess." Qianzhuo hurriedly ran in, walked to Yunshang and said, "Su Taiwei, Liu Situ and Hua Guogong have been called into the palace."

Yun Shang's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and then she put the pen on the pen stand, silently looked at the map on the table, and murmured, "Su Qi, Liu Jin, Duke Hua..."

The three of them are the heads of all the military officials in the court, and there is nothing wrong with calling them into the palace. However, it is also possible that they were ordered by the Imperial Guard for the audience of the three of them. Although Luo Qingyan got another token, he definitely couldn't take it out until the critical moment. Something happened to Xia Huanyu, so naturally the imperial guards should be mobilized to look for it.

But if the imperial guards were mobilized, the news of Xia Huanyu's accident might not be concealed. As soon as the news comes out, there will be chaos in the DPRK and China.

Yunshang stood up, turned to Qianliu and said, "Come and help me find the map near the Thousand Buddha Temple on the bookshelf."

Qian Zhuo responded, then walked to the bookshelf, found the row where the map was placed, and searched one by one.

Just as I was looking for it, another servant girl came in, "Princess, the wife of the Duke's mansion is asking to see the princess."

Yun Chang was stunned, why did grandma come here? Is it also for this matter? Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Grandmother please." After a pause, she turned to Qian Liu and said, "You look for it first, I'll come over later, and I'll go back to my room first." Then he said to the servant girl who came to inform, "Please invite the Duke's wife to the house."

The maid answered, and Yun Chang hurried out of the study, returned to the room, randomly picked out a book from the desk in the room, and sat on the soft couch.

After a while, there were faint footsteps outside, and the door curtain was lifted. Yun Chang raised her eyes and saw Mrs. Hua Guogong walking in. Her face was very calm, and she couldn't see any clues. Yun Shang quickly put the book aside, and stood up with a smile, "Why is grandma here? I didn't inform Chang'er in advance, so Chang'er can prepare well. Today, I was waiting by Chang'er's side before. It’s a happy day for the girl Qianyin, fortunately I came back after I certify the marriage of the two of them, otherwise my grandmother would have to rush to nothing.”

Talking lightly, she brought the tea. Yun Shang took the teacup with a smile and handed it up, "This is the plum blossom tea that Chang'er likes very much recently. Grandma will try it and see if it tastes good."

Mrs. Hua Guogong looked at Yunshang for a moment, as if observing the expression on her face. Yun Shang raised her hand awkwardly and touched her face, then asked Mrs. Guogong softly, "What is there on Chang'er's face?"

Only then did the Duke's wife look away lightly, shook her head, took the teacup and lifted the lid of the teacup for a casual look, then used the lid of the teacup to brush off the froth on it, and took a sip.

Yunshang looked at Mrs. Guogong with some expectation, and Mrs. Guogong drank a few more sips. Fang raised his head to look at Yunshang, smiled and said, "The entrance is slightly bitter, the aftertaste is sweet, and it also brings With the clear fragrance of plum blossoms, it is delicious."

Only then did Yunshang laugh, "As long as grandma likes it, grandma is here today, but what's the matter?"

The Duke's wife pondered for a moment, before asking, "I heard that this guy didn't go to court today, why don't you speak lightly? Why didn't you see him in the mansion?"

If it was really for this matter, Yun Shang heard the words, and her smile did not change at all, "Today, the prince is indeed on leave, because of the marriage of our two subordinates, we are the officiant for them, but this relative Before it was done, someone came from the palace and summoned the prince into the palace, I'm afraid His Majesty has something urgent."

"Your Majesty summoned you to enter the palace?" Mrs. Guo frowned, her gaze kept on Yun Shang's face, never letting go of the slightest change in Yun Shang's expression.

There was a bit of doubt in Yunshang's eyes, "At that time, someone came, and I don't know what they said in the ear of the prince, and the prince said that there are some things in the palace that need to be dealt with, and he needs to enter the palace. Besides your majesty, who else Calling the prince into the palace?" Yun Shang was a little puzzled, stopped for a moment, but suddenly looked a little anxious, "Could it be that something happened to the prince? Didn't enter the palace?"

Mrs. Guo paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup, then shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, I just looked at Qingyan and asked casually. I heard about what happened at the small banquet in the eldest princess's mansion a few days ago. , is really absurd, have you ever visited the eldest princess after that?"

Yun Chang shook her head lightly when she heard this, and said, "I heard from the lord that Mrs. Liu really entered the palace that day, and then the eldest princess was passed on to the palace. After returning from the palace, she closed the door Not coming out, sincerely bowing to the Buddha. The eldest princess has always believed in Buddhism since her son-in-law left, so she was suddenly disturbed by Mrs. Liu. I am afraid that she is also worried about the world of mortals, so she ignores ordinary things. Previously When the eldest princess first returned to Jincheng, she visited the palace once, and said that she and Empress Hua exchanged handkerchiefs, but she looked very friendly. Later, I went to visit with the prince, and then there was a small banquet. After the small banquet We thought, since the Eldest Princess doesn't want to see guests, there is no need to bother her."

"Handkerchief?" Mrs. Guo raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile on her face, but she didn't say much.

Yun Chang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, by the way, grandma, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days, and it is the first time for Chang'er to celebrate New Year's Eve in Xia Kingdom, and I am a little confused about the customs and habits here. , I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble grandma for more advice.”

Mrs. Duke nodded, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I wanted to talk to Qingyan, but now that Qingyan is not here, I will go back home first."

When Yunshang heard the words, she was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly said, "Grandmother Zensheng is going to leave before she sits for a while, why not wait a little longer, maybe the prince will come back after a while."

Mrs. Duke smiled and shook her head, "No, there are still some things in the mansion."

It was inconvenient for Yun Chang to stay any longer, so she stood up quickly, sent the Duke's wife out of the mansion, and then returned to the study. Qianliu had already found the map near the Thousand Buddhas Temple, so Yunshang went to the desk and stood there to read it. \u003c
