Chapter 74 Seeking Proof (2/2)
Wang Jinhuan quickly nodded, ”Yes, you di
e ground.
”Luo Qingyan, you're good. Just you wait, I'll go to the young Princess to expose you...” There was quite some pain in Wang Jinhuan's voice, ”My God! My arm! My arm is almost broken. Luo Qingyan, send for a physician...”
When Yun Shang returned to Qingxin Palace, Qin Yi and Qian Yin were eagerly waiting in front of the gate. As soon as they spotted Yun Shang, relief flooded the maids. They hurriedly stepped forward, ”Princess, where has Your Highness been? Earlier, Your Highness left to greet the Empress without taking us along. We waited for Your Highness to return and yet, Your Highness didn't come back. We searched everywhere for you. We were so anxious!”
Yun Shang smiled, ”No matter. Earlier on my way back from greeting the Empress, I suddenly remembered that I left in such a hurry that I didn't get to thank my Uncle for all his help. That's why I went to Prince Jing's mansion. But when I got there, Uncle was still at the training ground outside the city, so I had to wait a bit longer.”
Yun Shang then shared with Qin Yi and Qian Yin the events of the previous night. The two maids were so riled up that they cursed Hua Jing for the rest of the night. They also became quite grateful to Prince Jing. Having heard Yun Shang's story, Qin Yi nodded and said, ”It's only right to thank Prince Jing. Recently there have been multiple incidents, and Prince Jing has helped Your Highness every time. Speaking of, Prince Jing is Your Highness' lucky star.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang remembered what Prince Jing whispered as she left. ”It is probably because of you...” Yun Shang thought about it while walking back. She couldn't understand why Prince Jing would say that all of a sudden.
”Your Highness, Your Highness...” Qin Yi called out to Yun Shang who abruptly recovered from her daydreams. Yun Shang was surprised at herself. She found herself lost in thoughts related to Prince Jing more and more frequently these days. The idea gave her heart a shiver, ”Huh?”
Qin Yi stared at Yun Shang for a moment and said, ”Why does Your Highness seem so distracted recently?” Following the complaint, she then said, ”Princess, I heard from master Zheng that Lady Zhao has really set off for the frontier on her own...”
Yun Shang nodded, ”Lady Zhao is not a bad person, albeit eccentric. She is loving towards her son.”
Qian Yin joined the conversation, ”Every time I saw Hua Jing losing an argument to Lady Zhao, I couldn't help but feel great. It is surprising to see that there are people in this world who are completely unimpressed by Hua Jing. Even better though is that they can ensure that Hua Jing can't fight back in public.”
Yun Shang smiled as well, ”Qian Yin, have some people ask around about how things are going with Zhao Yingjie.”
Qian Yin nodded, ”I will send a letter in a moment.”
Yun Shang agreed and sat on her soft bed. She picked up a random book, ”Right, today after I left, did anything happen with the Empress?”
Qian Yin covered Yun Shang with a blanket and said, ”It will be time for the winter solstice soon. I heard that the Empress and Hua Jing were planning to announce Her Majesty's pregnancy at the winter solstice celebration...”
Yun Shang chuckled, ”She does know how to draw the most attention.”
Speaking of the winter solstice celebration, Yun Shang remembered something that she ordered long time ago, ”The things I asked to be prepared, are they ready? They're for... The winter solstice celebration...”
Hearing this, Qian Yin seemed very pleased with herself, ”Yes, Your Highness. Everything is all set. On the day of the winter solstice, I shall deliver to the Empress a grand gift.”
