Chapter 247 The Banquet (Part Two) (1/2)

”What?” Qian Yin paused, and then smiled. ”I see... If she really becomes one of the ladies, things will be much easier. Right?”

Yun Shang nodded, ”yes. This is finally a good news... ” Yun Shang returned the parchment to Qian Yin, ”dispose of it.”

Qian Yin nodded and took out a brazier from the drawer. She picked up a fire starter and threw it into the brazier. When she saw the parchment was burned to ashes, she extinguished it with water and took it out.

After having breakfast and lunch, Yun Shang took a nap and was about to go out for a walk, when a voice with some tiredness came from outside. ”General Qi's wife wants to visit you.”

Yun Shang took a seat and nodded to Qian Yin.

Qian Yin lifted up the curtain and went out, followed by a woman. She was in her forties. She had a normal appearance and was a little plump. But her face was pale, as if she had been ill for a long time.

”Your Highness...” Lady Qi bowed to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang stood up with the help of a astral hand and said gently, ”Lady Qi, you are being polite. Now I am visiting you in your mansion. By rights, I should go to see you, but I was tired after a long journey the other day, so I took a rest early. I caught a cold today, so I didn't get up early. I'm afraid the illness will affect you, so I'm late.”

”I dare not, I dare not.” Lady Qi put on a stiff smile and asked after a while, ”Your Highness, do you call for a physician?”

Yun Shang nodded, ”I didn't feel well since I got up early in the morning. I have asked my maid to send for a doctor. The doctor said I'm fine. But my health is not good in the first place. In addition, I've been on a rush these days. It's not a big deal. Now I've taken my medicine. But how about Mrs. Qi? Do you feel better now? Yesterday, the seventh lady went to the front hall to receive me. I didn't know your health until I asked General Qi. ”

A trace of disgust appeared on Lady Qi's face, but Yun Shang noticed it soon. ”I'm old and not as healthy as before. I'm also ill with my old illness. Thank you for your concern, your highness.”

”If you need any herbs, just tell me. I've brought many of them, some of which are rare.” Yun Shang smiled and said, ”I saw two gentlemen yesterday. They are both good-looking and pretty. I think you are blessed.”
