Xia Huanyu stared fixedly at Yunshang for a long while, and then said calmly: "This time back to Jincheng, where are you going to live? Some time ago, the widow asked someone to clean up Prince Rui's Mansion, but the courtyard where you lived I'm afraid they won't be able to live there anymore. If you don't want to live in Prince Rui's Mansion, the Zhaoxia Hall is still empty."

Without any hesitation, Yunshang smiled and said: "My wife, go back to Prince Rui's mansion. I haven't been back to my mansion for quite a while." Please, I hope His Majesty will agree."

"This time you have done a great job, so just say what you want." Xia Huanyu stroked the jade wrench on his thumb, his voice was calm.

The corner of Yunshang's mouth curled up slightly, "Now that the eldest princess has been captured, although the concubine Xiang was recommended by the eldest princess to enter the palace, but she has never helped the emperor to abuse her. The minister's wife wants to take the empress Xiang out of the palace."

Xia Huanyu's hand stroking the jade finger paused slightly, and raised her eyebrows lightly: "No matter why she entered the palace, she is already the concubine of the widow, so why should she be released from the palace? Since ancient times, there has never been any It has set a precedent of letting a concubine out of the palace."

"Just now His Majesty once said that a courtier's wife has made a great contribution, and she can say anything she wants. Once His Majesty opens his mouth, it is an imperial decree, but there is no repentance. And His Majesty only said that since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for letting a concubine out of the palace. But if there is one missing maid in the palace, it doesn't matter at all." Yun Shang fell to her knees and bowed to Xia Huanyu.

A look of doubt flashed in Xia Huanyu's eyes, "What you want is Concubine Xiang who is currently locked up in the Xiangzhu Palace?"

Yun Chang was startled, why did Xia Huanyu ask like this, could it be that he already knew that the Concubine Xiang in the Xiangzhu Palace was no longer Ning Qian? It shouldn't be, if he found out, why shouldn't there be no movement in the palace?

Yun Chang pondered for a long time, but finally did not dare to take the risk, and said with a smile: "There is only one Concubine Xiang in the palace, and if the one in the Xiangzhu Palace is gone, naturally there will be no Concubine Xiang."

Xia Huanyu's eyes fell on Yunshang, and he was a little cold: "I know, you have worked hard these few days, so go back to the house and rest."

Yun Chang hurriedly saluted and left.

Before Yun Shang came out of the palace, the news of the eldest princess' rebellion was already known in Jincheng. As soon as he walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, Yun Shang saw a palace maid in Tsing Yi standing aside, and when she saw Yun Shang coming out, she hurriedly greeted her: "Princess Rui, the servant is a servant from the Shuya Palace. Concubine Shu sent the servant to invite you." Princess Wang goes to Shuya Palace to sit down."

Concubine Shu...

Yun Chang turned around and glanced at the palace man, then nodded lightly and said: "Okay, let's go."

Arriving in the Shuya Palace, Concubine Shu has not yet taken off her sacrificial attire, perhaps because too many things happened today, she looks a bit tired from looking at her face.

Yun Chang stepped forward to salute, Concubine Shu said with a smile: "You have a body, so you don't need to salute."

After speaking, he personally helped Yun Shang to stand up, and ordered the palace servants to prepare refreshments and bring them up, "I always thought that you went to Cangnan with Prince Rui, but I didn't expect you to not go."

Although Yunshang had heard what Xia Huanyu said to the eldest princess before, she knew clearly that Concubine Shu was just a hidden guard of Xia Huanyu, and there was no threat at all. It's just that she had treated Concubine Shu as an enemy for too long before, and now that she knew that she had dealt with the wrong person, it felt a bit awkward to sit and talk together like this.

"It's not that I didn't go, it's just that I came back halfway. It was just a spur of the moment to follow Prince Rui to the border. There are so many messy things in Jincheng, how can I get away?" Yun Shang smiled, said softly.

Concubine Shu also laughed when she heard the words, "Yeah, this time it's thanks to Princess Rui, otherwise this eldest princess would be very hard to catch. I saw her shaved her head and dressed up as a monk earlier. I was taken aback, as a woman, she can completely ignore her appearance, which is admirable."

Yun Shang also nodded when she heard the words: "At first, she was a beggar woman, who stayed at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion in the wind and rain for half a month, and later she disguised herself as an accountant, staying in a small village for a long time. The princess has always been cruel to herself."

Both of them laughed. Concubine Shu took a look at Yunshang and said with a smile: "I had no choice but to fight against the concubine before, but I really like her temperament and wisdom in my heart. If you have nothing to do, you can also come to this Shuya Palace for a while."

Yun Chang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's natural."

After the two chatted for a while, Yun Shang stood up and said goodbye. After leaving Shuya Palace, she went to Chaoxia Palace to pick Qin Yi up, and then left the palace with Qin Yi.

When they returned to the palace, the stewards and the others had already returned to the palace. Seeing Yunshang came back, they hurriedly said: "The princess is back, and the old servant has cleaned out a small courtyard in the south. The courtyard is called Nanyuan. It is also very quiet. In the innermost part of the lake, there is a small two-story building in the small courtyard. The backyard is next to the lake. It is cool in summer, and there is nothing to do. The princess can also row boats in the pavilion by the lake Sit down."

"Alright." Yunshang smiled, and followed the housekeeper to Nanyuan. As the housekeeper said, he passed through the attic of Nanyuan and entered the yard. On the left hand side of the yard is a row of blue tile houses, which are the kitchen and the downstairs. The other two sides of the residence are surrounded by water. There are two big pagoda trees in the yard and a pavilion by the lake.

Yun Chang pointed to the pagoda tree, and said with a smile: "Let someone put a stone table and a few stone stools there, and then tie a swing."

The butler responded, and Yun Chang looked around, seeing that there was nothing else that needed to be changed, so she nodded lightly: "Let's go here, everything has been moved here?"

The butler nodded: "It's moved here, and it's all put in the house. Later, the princess can have someone check it out. If there is anything missing, just take it from the warehouse."

Yun Chang nodded slightly, and asked the butler to step back first.

After the butler left, Yun Chang returned to the house. In the hall, sat a woman who looked ordinary in appearance but had an extraordinary temperament. Yun Chang looked at the woman, stared at it for a long while, then raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "How does it feel to be out of the palace?"

The woman laughed slowly when she heard the words, and replied softly: "I didn't feel it when I was outside the palace, but now I have stayed in the palace for two years, and finally came out of the palace, it's like being released from a prison." generally."

When Yun Shang heard the words, she burst out laughing, "But you left Yan'er inside, so I had to ask His Majesty to let her out of the palace today."

The woman also laughed when she heard the words: "I didn't know she was Prince Wang's younger sister, but I thought she was just an ordinary secret guard. This kind of debt is owed by me, Ning Qian, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Yun Chang was slandering in her heart, fearing that if Wang Jinyan wanted Ning Qian to repay this favor, she would make Ning Qian her sister-in-law.

"Do you regret leaving the palace?" Yun Chang raised her head and looked at Ning Qian, "If you like being in the palace, I can let you be your concubine Xiang again, but there are still many things in the palace that I don't understand. "

Ning Qian shook her head again and again, "The master has sent so many people into the palace now, and I am not a lot less. Companion to the king is like a companion to the tiger. Xia Huanyu has no affection at all and is good at calculating. The subordinates can't calculate, as a The subordinates really don't like the feeling of a chess piece being held by others."

"Alright." Yun Chang smiled and asked tentatively: "But now you are not too young, you should find someone to marry."

Ning Qian opened her mouth wide, stared blankly at Yun Chang, and quickly said: "Don't, don't, I have stayed in this brothel and been a concubine before, how can I marry? The subordinate is by the master's side It's good to wait."

When Yun Shang heard the words, she smiled lightly, lowered her head, and said nothing. Suddenly remembered what Wang Jinyan said, that Wang Jinhuan also stayed in the palace for a long time, just to stay by Ning Qian's side. Although Wang Jinhuan always looks playful and smiling on weekdays, he has a lot of affection for Ning Qian. It's just that Ning Qian may find it difficult to agree to him, and Wang Jinhuan is the son and only son of the Minister of Military Affairs of Ning State, Wang Fu, I am afraid it will be difficult for Ning Qian to accept Ning Qian's past.

Yun Chang thought about it in her heart, and stopped mentioning it.

It was Ning Qian who opened his mouth and diverted the conversation: "I always thought that the princess went to Cangnan. If the secret guards hadn't told me, I would not have believed it. How could the princess come back? How did she find the eldest princess? ?”

Yun Shang smiled, "I didn't return to Jincheng because I discovered the trace of the eldest princess, but because I discovered Concubine Shen Shu's secret."

Yun Shang suddenly remembered that that day, she accused Xia Huanyu of favoring Concubine Shen Shu and the Seventh Prince in the Tai Chi Hall. At that time, Xia Huanyu once said that some things were not as she imagined.

She had doubts that day, Concubine Shen Shu and the Empress were incompatible, Xia Huanyu released Concubine Shen Shu out of the cold palace, it was tantamount to confronting the Empress and the Su family. At that time, she guessed that either Xia Huanyu loved Concubine Shen Shu deeply, or because Concubine Shen Shu was a pawn.

In any case, Xia Huanyu didn't look like she loved Concubine Shen Shu deeply, so it could only show that Concubine Shen Shu was a pawn.

However, all the things that Concubine Shen Shu did before, instigated the clansmen to revolt, secretly united with the Seventh Prince, completely betrayed Xia Huanyu. It really shouldn't be Xia Huanyu who declared war for the Su family because of a pawn that betrayed him.

Yun Shang didn't understand it at first, but after leaving Jincheng, she suddenly came back to her senses.

It is impossible for Xia Huanyu to oppose the Su family because of a chess piece that betrayed him. There is only one possibility, that is, Concubine Shen Shu never betrayed Xia Huanyu from the beginning to the end, and everything is just Xia Huanyu's scheme. From inciting the clansmen to revolt, to being thrown into the cold palace because of cold food, to secretly uniting with the eldest princess and the seventh prince, it was all Xia Huanyu's idea...\u003c
