"Why are you and my sister being so polite? But what happened?" Seeing the sadness in Ning Qian's eyes, Yun Shang asked quickly.
Ning Qian lowered her head, holding the little hand of her daughter in her arms, her expression remained calm: "Yesterday I received a letter from Ning State, saying that Mr. Wang is not in good health, and he is seriously ill. Wang Jinhuan wants to go back to Ning State Look, His Majesty and Master are not in any serious trouble now, and they can just walk away. But the child is still young, and the child’s health is not very good recently. He caught a cold a few days ago and has not recovered. I’m afraid it’s impossible to travel long distances. Yes. It’s just that I couldn’t think of any other suitable person, so I thought about putting the child in the palace and let the empress take care of it.”
Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words: "I still think it's a big deal, what's the big deal, there are a lot of nurses in the palace, and it's not a big problem to take care of a child, just don't worry .”
Ning Qian nodded slightly, with obvious reluctance and a bit of hesitation on her face. After a while, she sighed deeply.
Looking at her, Yunshang seemed not only worried about leaving the child in the palace, but also had other concerns, so she asked, "What's the matter? Look at you looking restless."
Ning Qian shook her head, and said after a long while: "The child will stay with the master, and the clothes she usually wears are all ready. The child grows fast, and I have prepared it for three months."
"There will be no shortage of clothes in the palace. It's just that you have to take good care of yourself when you return to Ningguo this time. I have seen Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang. It doesn't look like a person who is not easy to talk to, but you are someone else after all. My daughter-in-law, after all, I have to lower my posture. When Master Wang is better, if you don’t want to stay in Ningguo, I will call you back. After all, they dare not refute my face.” Yun Chang instructed softly.
Ning Qian responded one by one, handed the child in her arms to Hua'er, stretched out her hand to tuck her clothes, and then stood up: "I have to go back and pack my things, so I will leave the palace first."
Yun Chang responded, fearing that the child would see his mother leave and make a fuss, so Hua'er carried her down and fed him some food first.
Ning Qian stood up and walked to the door. After thinking about it, she turned her head: "By the way, I met Qian Yin when I entered the palace. From what she said, Hua Yutong seemed to have found her and wanted to pass her See you. I was just dismissed by Qian Yin, who doesn't like her very much."
Hua Yutong? Want to see her
Yun Shang squinted her eyes. When she met her on the street yesterday, Hua Yutong still hid her like a mouse seeing a cat. Why did she come to the door by herself after only one day
Ning Qian knew Yun Shang very well, seeing Yun Shang's expression, she knew what she was thinking, smiled and said: "I'm afraid I want to ask you to let Xia Houjing go, but I think that now the empress and Your Majesty let Xia Houjing live That's the end of benevolence and righteousness. Then Hua Yutong, the empress should not see her well. Although the empress looks cruel, she is actually soft-hearted. The empress has shown mercy to Hua Yutong many times before, but don't want her You softened your heart when I begged you."
Yun Chang laughed: "How can I be as soft-hearted as you said? This Hua Yutong, I really have to meet her, but I am really curious about what kind of calculations she has in mind."
Ning Qian was a little surprised when she heard what Yun Shang said. After pondering for a moment, she figured out what was going on: "Could it be that Hua Yutong is making trouble again?"
"I'm not sure it's her yet, but I think she's a little suspicious. We have to wait until we meet her before we can make a conclusion." After Yun Shang finished speaking, she laughed again: "Don't worry, although I Sometimes I do soften my heart a bit, but when it comes to major matters, we can still distinguish the seriousness from the seriousness."
Ning Qian nodded: "Then when I leave the palace, I will talk to Qianyin and ask her to find a time to bring Hua Yutong into the palace."
Qianyin got the news from Ning Qian, and acted very quickly, taking Hua Yutong into the palace early in the morning of the second day.
Yunshang was playing Jiulianhuan with Bao'er, and after hearing the report from the palace man, she asked someone to carry Bao'er down, and then passed Hua Yutong into the palace.
As soon as Hua Yutong entered the hall, he quickly walked into the hall and knelt down abruptly: "The criminal woman pays homage to the empress..."
There was sobs in the voice.
criminal woman.
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, but she didn't comment on her self-proclaim, she just looked at Hua Yutong's pale face, didn't make a sound, and only looked at Hua Yutong secretly.
I'm afraid that Hua Yutong's life is really going very badly, his face is haggard, his face has not been applied with makeup, and although the clothes on his body look bright, they seem to have been washed many times, and they are slightly faded , the embroidery on the hem of the skirt seems to be a little messed up by something...
Yun Chang's eyes moved slightly, and she didn't know whether Hua Yutong's downcast appearance was real or just for her to see.
"The person I met on the street in the former Japanese Palace, is it really you?" Yunshang asked slowly, rubbing her fingers against the embroidery on the armrest of the soft couch.
"...Yes." Hua Yutong responded with downcast eyes, still sobbing softly.
"I never expected to see you in Jincheng." Yun Shang still seemed careless: "I see a pregnant woman beside you, she seems to be your sister?"
Hua Yutong nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, that is... the concubine of the sinner Xia Houjing, and the child in the womb is Xia Houjing's child."
"Oh?" Yunshang raised her eyebrows: "Xia Houjing is indeed guilty, and it is a serious crime of treason. If Xia Houjing's status is not special, this crime can be punished by copying and beheading Zhulian Jiuzu. Your Majesty, you actually dared to bring Xia Houjing's concubine and his unborn child to this palace and His Majesty, you are really... so courageous!"
Speaking of the last few words, Yun Shang's voice suddenly rose, with a stern look.
Hua Yutong trembled, but hurriedly bowed down: "The criminal woman knows that Xia Houjing committed a serious crime, and also knows that the things the criminal woman did before are also unforgivable crimes. This time the criminal woman brought Xia Houjing's concubine Shi Shi and his two unborn children came together to plead guilty to His Majesty and Empress Empress."
"The sinful woman begged the empress to grant her death, and Xia Houjing's concubine and unborn child lived in Shuiwan Lane in the city, and were at the mercy of your majesty and empress."
Yunshang was surprised, raised her eyebrows and looked at Hua Yutong. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth again: "You came all the way here just to beg for death? You didn't even hesitate to take Xiahoujing's concubine's room and the unborn child's. Put your life in the hands of this palace and His Majesty? Do you think that this palace dare not kill you?"
