On the second day, Luo Qingyan still did not appear on the morning court.
And on the first day, Liu Wen'an even used the excuse that Luo Qingyan developed a high fever due to cold handling of political affairs. On the second day, after all the civil and military officials arrived, Liu Wen'an hastily announced that he would take a rest today, and then left in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Manager Liu was surrounded by all the adults, and he is still outside the Tai Chi Hall..."
Wang Wanzhi carefully glanced at Yun Shang's face, and reported in a low voice.
She has been waiting at the meeting hall, and has not seen His Majesty for the past two days, and she has heard a lot of gossip and rumors in the palace. Although she does not know which is true and which is false, it is just that His Majesty has not appeared for two days, which has never happened before. In the current situation, she naturally understood in her heart that the matter might be a little serious.
"Yeah." Yun Chang nodded, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead: "I expected it."
A country cannot live without a king for a day.
The harem is facing forward, inside and outside the court hall, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at that position, staring at Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan said that he hadn't gone to court for two days, and today he didn't even have a reason, so civil and military officials naturally wouldn't be fooled easily like this.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Wang Wanzhi endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back to ask.
Yun Shang sighed: "Your Majesty has something happened, but it is absolutely impossible to publicize this matter. If it is spread, there will be complete chaos inside and outside the court..."
Although Wang Wanzhi had already guessed that something happened to Luo Qingyan, she was still a little shocked after hearing Yun Shang's confirmation.
Yun Shang didn't say much, she just put down her hand that kept rubbing her forehead, and asked softly, "Yesterday, the servant of the Ministry of Industry was assassinated and died. Is there any response from the court?"
Wang Wanzhi shook her head: "Before the early court, when the officials were waiting outside to enter the palace, I occasionally heard someone talking about this matter, but because the servant of the household department was assassinated outside the palace, most of them guessed that he had some kind of enemy. , only one or two adults sighed, saying that the servant of the household department is a responsible and good official, and didn't say much else."
"In the early court, because Director Liu announced that His Majesty will not go to court today, the attention of all the adults was attracted by this matter, and no one paid attention to the death of the Minister of the Household Department."
Yun Chang pursed her lips, not too surprised.
Wang Wanzhi looked at Yunshang's expression again, and then asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you want someone to investigate the cause of death of the servant of the household department? Yesterday the servant of the household department and His Majesty reported that some craftsmen of the household department went to Liucang Siyang Nanyang After the incident, he was assassinated when he left the palace, and I always feel that the death of the household servant is really strange."
Yun Shang shook her head, she knew the reason for the death of the servant of the household department in her heart, and...
"Nowadays, the harem is in chaos, and I really can't pay attention to this matter. Wait for the matter in front of me to pass, and then investigate slowly."
Wang Wanzhi nodded, but did not speak.
"During this period of time, you should pay attention to those officials in the court to see if there is anything unusual. If you find anything wrong, you should report it to the palace in time."
"Yes." Wang Wanzhi agreed.
Yun Chang was silent for a moment, then waved again: "Go down."
As soon as Wang Wanzhi left, Qianzhuo came in: "Today, those palace people in the harem are spreading rumors that something happened to His Majesty, and that they heard that when the concubines and concubines came to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects to the empress yesterday, they found that She didn't even change her clothes, if something important happened to His Majesty, how could your empress, as the head of the harem, not even have the time and thought to change her clothes?"
After Qianzhu finished speaking, he lowered his face and said in a low voice: "The servant finally knows why the empress didn't change her clothes yesterday."
Yun Shang smiled, but said casually: "Let them guess. You can gather some more people to strengthen the guards of Weiyang Palace. No matter who comes, I won't see you. Tonight, let the secret guards and The guards are all on alert, I always feel that something is going to happen."
"Tomorrow is my birthday, so let me tell you that tomorrow's birthday banquet will continue as usual."
"Yes." Qianzhuo quickly responded.
"You ask someone to go to the Tai Chi Hall to have a look. If Manager Liu escapes, let Manager Liu come over."
Qian Zhuo responded one by one, and Fang retreated.
Yunshang took the book and lay down on the soft couch to read. More and more people stared at Weiyang Palace, Luo Qingyan also began to lie down on the couch obediently, without saying a word.
Yun Shang was about to finish flipping through a book when she heard Liu Wen'an's voice from outside: "Niang Niang..."
Yun Chang stood up, took a bright yellow scroll from the desk, and quickly walked out of the inner hall.
Liu Wen'an's face was a little red, and his voice was slightly panting: "Most officials in the court became suspicious and insisted on pestering the servant to say that they wanted to see His Majesty. Get away."
"Thank you." Yun Shang responded, and then handed the bright yellow scroll to Liu Wen'an: "This is the imperial decree written by His Majesty, please trouble Manager Liu to read it at the court tomorrow morning."
Manager Liu glanced at Yun Chang suspiciously, but he didn't dare to show any more emotions. He just took the imperial decree and unfolded it to have a look.
Just seeing this made him unable to help but change his expression...
"Your Majesty, this decree..."
Ever since he unfolded the imperial decree, Yunshang's gaze has been on him. Seeing him looking up, he only pursed his lips indifferently: "It's the imperial edict that His Majesty handed over to the Palace a long time ago. Your Majesty said, If there is an emergency, let Director Liu read out this imperial decree."
Liu Wen'an bit his lip, lowered his head again, and read the imperial decree in his hand again.
After a while, Liu Wen'an closed the imperial decree again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, have you ever shown this imperial decree to the Supreme Emperor?"
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows: "Now the emperor of the Xia Kingdom is His Majesty. As the lord of a country, don't you even have the power to write an imperial decree? Why do you want to show it to the Supreme Emperor?"
Liu Wen'an bit his lip, but he didn't dare to refute, so he said again: "Tomorrow, if the servant reads out this imperial decree in the early court, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the court, and the servant is worried..."
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, her eyes were full of determination: "Mr. Liu, don't worry. I will accompany Mr. Liu in the morning tomorrow. If the civil and military officials have any questions about this edict, you can ask me. palace."
Liu Wen'an opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it after all.
Yun Shang laughed, "Boss Liu has any questions."
"No more." Liu Wen'an responded with lowered eyes.
"That's good." Yunshang smiled again, paused, but then said: "This imperial decree is of great importance, Mr. Liu should hand it over to the palace first, and the palace will go to court tomorrow morning, and then give it to Mr. Liu …”
