Chapter 138 The Trouble Caused By Staying Out All Night (Part One) (2/2)
”Lady Ming? Maybe Grand Councilor Li is also involved in this. If Grand Councilor Li didn't approve, Lady Ming and Li Fuyi wouldn't have dared to take action.” Prince Jing said. Yun Shang was surprised. Although Prince Jing was injured, he was still a strong man. Without doubt, he had heard what they had said.
Yun Shang said emotionlessly, ”I know. I have to go back. Take good care of yourself.”
Yun Shang turned to leave but heard a noise from the room. She quickly walked into the room and saw that the medicine bowl
r Highness, you are wrong. I'm their master. Why should I tell them where I go? Moreover, I asked them not to follow me. So they had to stay in the Palace.”
Lady Ming was speechless. She stared at Yun Shang with a smile. ”You're right. But can you tell us where you went? I ordered a search of the Imperial City but couldn't find you. I thought you had an accident.”
”Oh? The Imperial City was searched thoroughly? I was right in the imperial household, but I didn't know that you were searching for me. If I had, such a misunderstanding would not have happened.” Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked strangely at Lady Ming as if accusing the older lady of lying.
Lady Ming smiled coldly. ”Where were you last night?”
Yun Shang took a sheet of parchment from her sleeve and frowned. ”Yesterday, I received a letter from my mother who resides in Laifeng Palace. She said in the letter that everything was fine, and the unborn baby's condition was stable. Moreover, she would give birth to the baby soon. She said that she missed me and asked if I could visit her Palace and give her company for some time...”
Emperor Ning interrupted Yun Shang happily, ”Shu Jin wrote to you? What did she say in the letter? Let me see.”
Yun Shang nodded and handed the parchment to Lord Zheng. Lord Zheng brought the letter to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning glanced over it and said with a smile, ”It's Shu Jin's handwriting. She said that Grand Tutor Xiao went to visit her, and she might be carrying a baby boy.” Emperor Ning grinned in satisfaction. ”Well, Shu Jin's belly should be huge by now. The summer will come soon. I will spend the summer in Laifeng Palace and wait for the birth of the baby boy.”
Lady Ming frowned. Obviously, she was angry. She turned to look at Yun Shang. ”You disappeared all night. What does it have to do with Lady Jin's letter?”
