Chapter 677 The past (1/2)
Lady Hua Guo nodded with a smile, and turned to the maid behind her. ”Bring a chair for Lady Rui.” After giving the order, Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang, ”How is it going? Has the baby been troubling you recently?”
Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, ”The baby is really sweet. Since I got pregnant, I have never had any symptoms except for feeling sleepy. And I have no trouble eating and drinking.
”Good. You are so considerate to your mother now. I'm sure you will be a good kid when you grow up.” Lady Hua Guo smiled at Yun Shang's words.
As the maid lifted the chair out, Yun Shang sat down beside Lady Hua Guo.
Yun Shang thought of what Liu Yinfeng had said before. She lifted her eyes and looked at the children who were reading military books. She thought for a moment and said: ”I met Liu Yinfeng on my way here. We talked for a while and somehow mentioned the seventh prince...”
Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang, ”Oh? What happened to the seventh prince? ”
”Not really. Recently, he has made such an scene for the matter of Liu Chuchu. A few days ago, the seventh prince was kneeling outside the Taiji hall for two days. It also reminded me of the time when we were in the State of Ning. Has grandfather ever mention some matters happened in the State of Ning?” Yun Shang thought it over and glanced at the expression of Lady Hua Guo from time to time.
Lady Hua Guo shook her head. ”No. He's never mentioned”
Yun Shang continued, ”The death of the crown prince was actually a scheme of the seventh prince, together with Li Jingyan and Cangjue Qingsu. The seventh prince tried to frame Qingyan, so Qingyan arrested him and imprisoned him. It was his majesty who came to his mansion and asked Qingyan to set him free.”
Yun Shang noticed that Lady Hua Guo frowned. She continued after a pause, ”I was surprised at the emperor's attitude towards the seventh prince. It seems that his majesty is so indulgent to him.”
”I've asked around about the reason. It seems to be related to Lady Liu. I'm confused now. Normally, Qingyan should be the one his majesty feel most sorry for. But why his majesty treats the seventh prince more... What's the secret?” Yun Shang looked up and asked softly.
Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo sneered. After a long while, she sighed. ”It's been a long time. In fact, your grandfather and I almost didn't care about these affairs back then, so we don't know much about it. Since you want to know the truth, I'll tell you.”
