Chapter 571 A Letter From The State Of Ning (2/2)

en they stood up.

Luo Qingyan took the Imperial Edict. After a pause, he asked softly, ”why did His Majesty exempt me from the punishment suddenly?”

Liu Wenan smiled and said, ”His Majesty didn't mean to punish you. The Eldest Princess came to the Imperial Palace yesterday and talked about this matter. She pled with His Majesty for you. Then His Majesty issued the edict immediately.”

”The Eldest Princess?” Luo Qingyan frowned, and then said to Liu Wenan with a smile, ”please give my thanks to Her Highness.”

Smiling, Liu Wenan replied, ”His Highness, you'd better come to the Imperial Palace to express your appreciation in person.”

Luo Qingyan replied with a ”hm”. Liu Wenan said goodbye and left the Prince Rui's mansion.

”I thought the Eldest Princess just mentioned it casually that day. I didn't expect that she would plead with His Majesty.” Yun Shang smiled.

Luo Qingyan snorted, ”No loss to her. If His Majesty agreed, I would owe her a favor. If not, I still should say thanks for her effort.”

”The Eldest Princess must have some other intention. Why don't you just go to tell His Majesty about her ambition?” Yun Shang frowned. She hesitated for a moment and then said, ”Forget it. You can't do this. It's not appropriate for you to tell His Majesty. Besides, we don't have enough evidence. And we don't know the real relationship between His Majesty and the Eldest Princess. If you tell him rashly, I'm afraid you won't get any benefit but end up in a mess.”

However, Luo Qingyan remained silent. After a long time, he replied, ”His Majesty is smart. since we could notice that something is wrong, less likely he knows nothing about it.”

Yun Shang thought about it for a while and found he has the point. She frowned. If His Majesty has known about it, why does he favor Ning Qian recently? After all, Ning Qian was recommended into the Imperial Palace by the Eldest Princess.

Is it possible that His Majesty is setting a trap? He plans to use Ning Qian as a bite?
