Seeing Bao'er happily leaving the inner hall with a slingshot, Yunshang turned her head to look at Luo and said lightly: "Has someone sent you a copy of the ministers and concubines?"
Luo Qingyan leaned back, leaning on the soft couch, with a somewhat lazy expression: "Not really."
Seeing the surprise on Yunshang's face, Luo Qingyan laughed again: "Probably they know, they have no evidence, and what you did is reasonable, even if you come to me to make irresponsible remarks, it is completely useless , so I simply didn’t come, so as not to displease me.”
Yun Shang didn't expect such a result, she lowered her eyes and laughed: "The concubine is worrying too much."
"You are worrying too much." Luo Qingyan's eyes were full of tenderness: "I heard that you went out of the palace with father and mother in the afternoon? But what's the important thing for them?"
Yun Shang shook her head, and explained softly: "Your Majesty said that Hua Yutong is just a chess piece that was put up to explore the way, and most of the people who really manipulate this chess game are still hidden behind..."
"So the concubine thought, if this is the case, the concubine made such a fuss in the street today, arrested Hua Yutong, and threatened to talk to Xia Houjing, and Hua Yutong killed both of them. The unborn child is only to frame and slander the concubine. The people behind the scenes will probably feel that if such a thing happened, the concubine should go to see Xia Houjing and ridicule him."
"So the concubine left the palace with my father, mother and concubine in the afternoon, and went shopping around after leaving the palace. If someone really stared at the concubine, they would definitely suspect that Xia Houjing was hidden by us in the place I visited this afternoon. place, and then follow the places that the concubines have been to this afternoon to find them one by one."
The corners of Luo Qingyan's mouth curled up: "My Chang'er is really smart. So, where have you been this afternoon?"
"Well, I went to Dali Temple first, then to the Duke's Mansion, and then to the Seventh Prince's Mansion." Yunshang explained one by one: "Dali Temple was originally a place where important prisoners were held, and there was a prison inside, which is not unusual. It is difficult for people to get close to him, Xia Houjing has royal blood, so it is reasonable for us to imprison him in the prison of Dali Temple."
"The Duke's Mansion is the mother's family of the Empress Dowager, and the relationship with His Majesty has always been very good. The Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded. It is possible for us to entrust Xia Houjing to Duke Hua to take care of it."
"The last Seventh Prince's Mansion..." The corner of Yunshang's mouth hooked: "The Seventh Prince's Mansion has been sealed, and there is nothing inside. This place seems to be the most unlikely place to detain Xia Houjing, but it is often the most difficult place to detain Xia Houjing. It was discovered, so the other party will definitely be suspicious when they know that the concubine has gone to the Seventh Prince's mansion."
Luo Qingyan nodded, and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair: "I sent some hidden guards to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to cast doubt."
Yun Chang responded: "But the Seventh King's Mansion, the other party may not go there. After all, there is no one in the Seventh King's Mansion now, I'm afraid that those who play this game of chess behind that will also suspect that there is fraud in the Seventh King's Mansion."
"Even if they knew there was a fraud, and they were so eager to find Xia Houjing, they would definitely try their best to find out. It's just that the person behind the scenes may not appear."
Yun Shang nodded: "The concubine also thinks the same way. Except for the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the concubines of the Duke's Mansion and Dali Temple have already been arranged, and people will be carefully watched to see who visited the Duke's Mansion recently. , and the people who went to Dali Temple, what are they?"
"Well..." Luo Qingyan stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun Shang's hand: "Miss, you have worked hard."
Yun Shang took advantage of the opportunity to pinch Luo Qingyan's palm: "After running for a long time, I'm a little hungry, let's go eat first."
Luo Qingyan heard the words, glanced at Yunshang, and then responded: "Alright, let's go eat first."
Yun Shang heard Luo Qingyan say this, but looked at Luo Qingyan in surprise: "Hearing His Majesty's tone, it seems that there is something else you want to say to my concubine?"
"It's a small matter, but the most serious thing is when the lady is hungry. It's okay, it's just an unimportant thing. Let's talk about it after we eat."
There was a bit of doubt in Yun Chang's eyes, but Luo Qingyan always knew the importance, if it was really something important, he would definitely not delay like this, so he didn't say any more, just nodded, and went out with Luo Qingyan the nave.
The palace servants have already fed Bao'er and took Bao'er down to take a bath. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang had dinner together. Yun Shang was thinking about what Luo Qingyan hadn't finished before, so she pulled Luo Qingyan Returning to the inner hall again: "What did you want to say earlier?"
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment before opening his mouth: "I want to tell you where King Xian is going."
"Where is the King Xian?" Yun Chang's eyes widened: "Then His Majesty still said that this matter is not important? Where did King Xian go after he left Jincheng?"
"According to the report from the dark guard, King Xian has been on his way since he left Jincheng, and he hasn't stayed in one place for too long. It's hard to tell where his final destination is, but..."
As Luo Qingyan spoke, he went to the bookshelf and took a map of the Xia Kingdom, unfolded it on the table, took a cinnabar pen, and drew on the map: "This is the map of the Kingdom of Xia after King Xian left Jincheng." track route."
Yun Chang's eyes fell on the route drawn by the cinnabar pen on the map, and his brows were slightly frowned: "He... hardly took any detours, and walked in a straight line all the way, as if he was going straight to his destination .”
Luo Qingyan nodded and did not answer.
Yunshang stretched out her hand and drew the straight line with her nails: "Mingqiu, Yangdu, Jingnan, Yonglin..."
Yun Shang silently recited the place names along this line. After reading a few times, she stopped, her gaze fell on the next place name, and her brows were tightly frowned: "Liu Cang?"
Yun Shang suddenly raised her head: "Isn't it Liu Cang where the virtuous king is going?"
Luo Qingyan's eyes still fell on the place where Yunshang's hand was pressed on the map, and his voice was low: "When I found out earlier, I was also a little surprised. Just judging from the current route he is traveling, the road along the way , it seems that Liucang is the only place worth visiting."
"What did he go to Liucang for?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head: "Because of Xia Houjing's rebellion, Liu Cang can be said to be very chaotic now. There are still many remnants of Xia Houjing entrenched in Liu Cang, and there are also many messy forces fishing in troubled waters. I don't know whether the ultimate goal of King Xian is Liu Cang, and I don't know what he is going to do in Liu Cang, and now we can only wait and see what happens."
Yun Shang fell silent, and then nodded after a long while: "It's just that the concubine believes that no matter where the virtuous king is going in the end, or what he is going to do, he will definitely not do anything. , something that is harmful to the country of Xia and the country."
