After finishing lunch with Luo Qingyan, Yunshang went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The queen mother was letting the palace people pick osmanthus flowers in the yard. Seeing Yun Shang coming, she couldn't help laughing: "I heard that as soon as you returned to the palace yesterday, you ordered someone to pick fresh osmanthus flowers and dry them. I don't know What do you use it for, but there are a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the palace, so the palace servants are going to pick them and send them to you."
Yun Shang laughed: "Your Majesty likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus fish, so every year I ask someone to pick some fresh sweet-scented osmanthus flowers when they are in full bloom, and prepare them in the sun. Whenever Your Majesty wants to eat sweet-scented osmanthus fish, I can cook them for him. "
"Is that so?" The queen mother drooped her eyes with a dazed expression. Luo Qingyan had never grown up beside her, so she knew almost nothing about Luo Qingyan.
What I know is just hearsay and some rumors I heard when I was in Ningguo.
"Apart from sweet-scented osmanthus fish, what else does Your Majesty like to eat?"
"I don't have any particular preferences. Your Majesty is not very picky about food. However, your Majesty has something to be afraid of..." Yun Shang said, laughing to herself: "Your Majesty is afraid of taking medicine."
"Take medicine?"
Yun Chang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty's health is better, probably because of this, so he doesn't get sick very much on weekdays, so he doesn't like to take medicine."
The queen mother thought about Luo Qingyan's indifferent and expressionless face, and thought about what Luo Qingyan was like when she was afraid of taking medicine, and couldn't help laughing.
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Yun Shang also laughed.
"It's very interesting." Hua Ling looked at Yunshang carefully: "I heard from the Supreme Emperor that the situation in Wu'an City is not very good. Are you and Your Majesty all right?"
Yun Chang shook her head: "Although this battle was a bit difficult, at least I didn't suffer any injuries, and I came back safely."
Hua Ling nodded: "It's good to be safe, and safety is the greatest blessing."
While the two were talking, Yunshang felt a gaze looking at her. Yunshang raised her eyes and saw Xia Huanyu standing under the eaves outside the main hall looking at them.
Naturally, Hua Ling saw it too, and curled the corners of her mouth: "Let's go, let's go into the hall to talk."
Yun Shang followed Hua Ling into the palace, and Xia Huanyu also sat down: "I heard that Wu'an City has suffered heavy losses, and the number of people in the city is less than a thousand?"
"Yes, the Wu people used Gu to control the people in the city, and set up a Yin gathering formation in the city, so that the people in the city could throw themselves into the river to commit suicide. The Gu can also be passed on from person to person. It's almost gone."
Xia Huanyu narrowed his eyes: "The remaining people in Wu'an City, you let them go?"
"Yes." Yun Chang replied.
A look of hostility flashed in Xia Huanyu's eyes: "If it were me, I would bury them together in Wu'an City."
Hua Ling looked at Xia Huanyu in disbelief: "It's all human life, but nearly a thousand living people."
"Yes." Xia Huanyu lowered his eyes, without any superfluous expression on his face: "It's human life, but tens of thousands of people have already died, not less than a few hundred."
"But if these hundreds of people are released, they may soon disperse and disperse to other cities in the Xia Kingdom. Do you think all of them will keep tight-lipped about the matter of Wu'an City?"
"If they can't do it, then what happened in Wu'an City will soon spread to all parts of the Xia Kingdom. You know how appalling the Wu Clan's methods are."
"At that time, it may cause panic."
Xia Huanyu lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand: "It's fine if it's just a city, but if rumors spread everywhere in Xia Kingdom and people panic, it may not be certain whether the country will be safe or not."
Yun Chang's expression was indifferent: "Even if those people don't leave Wu'an City, what happened in Wu'an City will still be spread. In fact, there is not much difference."
"After all, those people are not the only ones who know what happened in Wu'an City."
"There's also Xia's army, and Xia Houjing's rebels."
"Father, it's impossible for us to kill all the Xia soldiers and rebels, right?"
Hua Ling nodded: "What the queen said is absolutely true."
Xia Huanyu didn't feel annoyed, but nodded: "I just want to remind you, since you are aware of the hidden dangers, you should naturally find ways to solve them."
"yes."
When Yun Shang left from Hua Ling and Xia Huanyu, the time had already passed.
Yunshang walked to the imperial garden, and walked slowly to the highest place in the imperial garden, looking at the flowers below, looking at the deep palace wall in the distance...
Yun Chang saw Chengye running over from a distance, with a smile on his face.
The palace people behind followed behind, raising their hands from time to time to wipe the sweat from their foreheads: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please slow down..."
Yun Chang stood watching from a distance, the corners of her mouth curled up.
Even if it's just to protect this smile, she should do her best to help His Majesty restore this devastated country.
After waiting for more than ten years, I will hand over this country to Chengye.
"Mother's queen! Mother's queen!" Chengye had already seen Yunshang, and seemed to dislike that the clothes he was wearing could not run fast, so he simply lifted the hem of his clothes and started running.
"His Royal Highness, stop quickly."
Chengye quickly ran in front of Yunshang, Yunshang laughed, knelt down and wiped the sweat off Chengye's forehead: "In the morning, Taifu Tan teaches you to read and write, and in the afternoon, you practice martial arts?"
Chengye shook his head: "This afternoon is riding and shooting."
Chengye's face was filled with pride: "How about the Empress Dowager come to see me practice riding and archery tomorrow?"
"Hearing your tone, you have improved a lot recently?"
"That's natural."
Chengye held Yunshang's hand, raised his eyes to look at the direction Yunshang was looking at: "What was the mother looking at just now?"
"I haven't been back to the palace for a long time, let's take a look at the scenery."
"Ah..." Chengye chuckled: "I learned how to fish a few days ago, and I caught quite a few fish. Tomorrow, I'll catch a few more fish for my father and queen, okay?"
"Okay." Yun Chang said with a smile on his face, "Of course it's the best. Your father likes to eat fish. If he can eat fish caught by my family Chengye himself, he will die of joy."
"Come on, let's go down and play."
Chengye responded and happily walked in front.
After all, he was still a child at heart. After walking a few steps, he ran again: "Butterfly again, I'll catch a butterfly for my mother."
Seeing Chengye running away, Yunshang smiled and asked the palace servants beside him: "Can His Highness really catch fish?"
Qian Zhuo covered her lips and laughed: "It was caught, but beforehand, the palace people went there and cast a lot of bait."
Yunshang also laughed, Qianzhuo said a lot, it must be a lot, I'm afraid not to mention fishing, even if you catch it, you can catch it.
