She didn't feel that there was anything wrong before, but she just heard Liu Wen'an mention it, but she suddenly remembered that all these changes seemed to start after the Nanshan incident.
Liu Wen'an has served in the palace for so many years, and his ability to observe words and expressions has already been perfected. Seeing Yun Shang's expression, he can probably guess what Yun Shang is thinking, and he only whispered: "The news of the accident on that day came When he came, His Majesty seemed to be in a daze, he opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word, and after a while, he was finally able to speak, but his voice was completely hoarse."
"The slave has been serving His Majesty for some time, but this is the first time seeing His Majesty like this."
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, but that smile was full of all kinds of tastes, such as sweet, bitter and spicy.
"The servant can also see that the relationship between His Majesty and Your Majesty is really good. His Majesty almost regards Your Majesty as more important than his own life. From now on, Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself."
"The slave also found out through this incident that your Majesty is the only one who is good if your Majesty is well. If there is something wrong with your Majesty, your Majesty will follow your Majesty, not to mention being a human being."
Yun Shang nodded solemnly: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, I understand."
Liu Wen'an lowered his head and smiled, and didn't say any more.
Arriving at the Empress Dowager's palace, as soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she saw Xia Huanyu standing under the eaves in front of the hour, looking at the yard with her hands behind her back and frowning.
In the yard, many palace people held bamboo poles in their hands, and made a circle with bamboo strips on the top of the bamboo poles. The circle seemed to be wrapped with cobwebs. Yun Chang was familiar with this battle, and it should be mending cicadas.
Yun Shang stepped forward to meet with Xia Huanyu, and then smiled and said, "Father, are you watching the palace man make up the cicada?"
Xia Huanyu hummed: "The weather is hot and dry. Your mother took a light nap in the afternoon. She was often disturbed by the cicadas outside and couldn't sleep. Recently, she was not in a good mood. All the cicadas were caught."
After Xia Huanyu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Yunshang: "Why are you here on such a hot day?"
Yun Shang was about to speak, Xia Huanyu seemed to see the fine beads of sweat on Yun Shang's forehead, and frowned: "Let's talk inside."
Yun Chang responded, and followed Xia Huanyu into the main hall. As soon as she sat down, she saw Hua Ling coming out of the bedroom with a round fan in her hand: "The queen is here? I heard voices talking inside."
Yun Chang stood up and nodded: "Is the mother not asleep?"
Xia Huanyu also stood up, walked over to help Hua Ling sit on the seat beside him, Hua Ling sat down, fanned the round fan, and then said: "It's too noisy outside, I can't sleep, I just get up and look Look."
"I heard from Your Majesty, Queen, you are also afraid of heat, and you won't go out if you can't go out in summer. Why did you come here in such a hot weather today?"
Yun Chang smiled, she hadn't always been so afraid of heat, but she became like this after Sheng Chengye hurt her body that time.
"There are some things." Yun Chang said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, your mother's birthday is coming, and the Ministry of Rites has already drawn up the procedures for the birthday banquet. Ask Liu Wen'an to bring them over for the mother to have a look at and see if there are any. What needs to be adjusted."
Liu Wen'an hurried forward and handed over the memorial in his hand. Hua Ling sighed, took it, just flipped through it casually, and frowned: "It's a hot day, what are you doing? And now we We are at war with the Yelang Kingdom, the battle ahead is tense, and food and grass are in short supply, so let’s save what should be saved, and I can save my worries.”
After finishing speaking, he returned the memorial to Liu Wen'an: "Talk to the emperor that there is no need to make any fuss, just let all the officials come in to congratulate and offer a gift in the morning, and there is no need to hold a palace banquet, just the ones in our inner palace. It’s good to have a family banquet.”
After Hua Ling gave Liu Wen'an instructions, she turned her head to look at Yun Shang: "It is necessary for all officials to congratulate. These civil and military officials usually look very clean. When it comes to this kind of time, such as Aijia , Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and on your birthday, you will try your best to collect some rare and rare treasures to present. Most of those things are very precious and priceless. Take them and exchange them for silver, buy them as grain, and maybe return them to you. It can make the frontier soldiers eat a little better."
Hearing what Hua Ling said, Yunshang also had a smile in his eyes: "Yes, those officials are also paid by the people, and it is just right to replace them with food and grass to support the border war. The food and grass for this battle and the clothes of the soldiers are all from the ministers. The concubine personally intervened, and I can’t guarantee anything else, but at least I can guarantee that the clothes worn by the border guards are all new, and the food they eat is solid and good food.”
"I heard His Majesty talk about this matter. You have worked hard. There are many affairs in the harem, and you still have to worry about these things."
Yun Shang smiled: "The responsibility lies."
Xia Huanyu's eyes swept over Yunshang, and he said casually: "You came today not just for this one, did you?"
Yun Shang nodded: "Yes, there is one more thing, the concubine wants to see the steward Wang in the library."
"What did you see her for?" Xia Huanyu frowned, but before Yun Shang could answer, he waved his hand self-consciously: "You see her now, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything."
Yunshang was wondering why Xia Huanyu would say this, and heard Xia Huanyu say: "The steward Wang was arrested and experienced a lot of torture, but he kept silent, and then he went crazy, even tortured There is no way to ask."
"Crazy?" Yun Shang didn't know that there was still this problem, and her brows were also frowned: "Are you really crazy or pretending to be crazy?"
"It's hard to tell whether she's crazy or not. I don't know if she's really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. I just sent several imperial physicians to see her, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Yun Chang pursed her lips, and frowned even tighter: "The concubine also knows some medical skills, and I still want to go and see for myself."
"Go, let's go." Xia Huanyu waved his hands casually: "You are the one who doesn't give up on not seeing the Yellow River."
After finishing speaking, he called a palace man: "Take the empress to meet the steward of the king."
The palace man responded and turned to Yunshang: "Please come with the servants, my lady."
Yun Chang stood up and left the main hall, but turned to the side hall...
Yun Chang watched the palace man walk to the side hall, took out a bunch of keys, and opened the door of a room in the side hall.
"Then Guanshi Wang is locked up here?"
This is something Yun Chang never thought of, she thought, at least she was in a private prison.
The palace man nodded: "The Supreme Emperor said that there is no place that is safer than here."
