Chapter 531 Being Tricked (1/2)
Yun Shang bent over and picked up a cup of tea. When she heard lady Shu's question, she paused for a second, and then slowly picked up the cup of tea. She looked at Lady Shu with surprise in her eyes, ”Lady Shu, you are so discerning. The little guy ate the chestnut cake sent here by a maid. Is there anything wrong with it?”
Hearing this, lady Shu smiled faintly, raised her hand, wiped the corner of her mouth gently, and shook her head, ”nothing, I am just asking casually.”
Although she said she was just asking, her eyes were full of mischief as if she was waiting for something to happen.
Yun Shang was not in the mood to guess what was behind Lady Shu's smile. The chestnut cakes were sent to the little prince by the maids, and were given to him by the maid herself. She believed that no matter what happened to the little prince, she would be safe. She had learned how to not give a damn about anyone else through all these years living in the palace.
Yun Shang took a sip of the tea and looked at the little boy next to her. The maid was about to serve the prince a cup of tea. Yun Shang beckoned to his maid, ”serve the little prince and let him have some tea.”
The servant immediately responded yes, and handed the cup to Xia Yunxi's mouth. Raising his head, Xia Yunxi gave Yun Shang a glance. Then he bowed his head, put the cup in his hand and began to drink water.

The servant woman took the little boy in her arms and curtsied to everyone. Then she was about to take Xia Yunxi off the hall. Yun Shang thought for a while and said indifferently, ”the empress just asked Yunxi to wait for her to change her clothes. Today is her Majesty's birthday, so please let Yunxi stay with you.”
The maid stopped in her tracks and looked up at Yun Shang. She immediately responded, ”yes, yes, I understand.” Then she put down Xia Yunxi on a nearby chair. Seeing that he was holding a small piece of chestnut cake, she said hastily, ”I hope you won't eat too much this time.” Then she took the half piece of chestnut cake from the boy's hand and put it aside.
Yun Shang took a glance at the maid, and thought, 'since Xia Yunxi's nanny is here, nothing bad will probably happen.' Then she turned her head to start talking to Lady Yun casually.
While the two of them were talking, Yun Shang smelled a faint fragrance. She was surprised and frowned. She took a few deep breaths and a murderous look flashed in her eyes. Yun Shang looked around quietly and saw only lady Shu looking at her with a smile on her face. Yun Shang thought what had happened just now over in her mind. Then she picked up the teacup on the table and sniffed it. Suddenly, her face turned pale because of it.
”What's wrong?” Ning Qian looked at Yun Shang and asked in
