Chapter 727 A Shadowy Situation (1/2)

'The seventh prince didn't get along well with the Eldest Princess?' thinking of this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. She had never heard anyone talk about it. And she lowered her head and kept silent.

The Empress continued, ”I heard that you are quite close to the seventh princess, but the child doesn't come to the palace often. She looks lively, but she is an introvert actually.”

Yun Shang didn't know why the Empress mentioned Hua Yutong. She smiled and said gently, ”The seventh prince is now leading the army to fight. She is the only female master in the seventh prince' mansion. I'm afraid that she has to worry too much, so she has neglected the chance coming to the palace.”

The Empress smiled and replied softly, ”You are right.”

Then she raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned slightly. She said smilingly, ”I got up early this morning, and I am a little tired. I'm afraid you also didn't sleep well last night. So go back and have a good rest.”

Yun Shang curtsied and retreated, standing at the gate of Weiyang Palace in a daze.

”Your Highness, how about going to the Xiang Zhu Palace?” asked Qian Zhuo in a hurry.

Yun Shang thought for a moment and shook her head. ”Now I have a lot of trouble. I'd better keep a distance from Lady Xiang.” Then she walked towards the Linglong Palace.

Linglong Palace was located in the west of the palace, and by the Yan Cui Lake. It was a good place. Yun Shang walked to the Yan Cui Lake. There were many willows planted there. Although the winter had not passed, the willows were sprouting.

Yun Shang was walking slowly by the lake when she heard a woman's voice, ”She moved in last night. You don't know yet? I heard it from a servant today, and it has spread out early in the morning.”

”According to the Empress, Prince Rui is likely to die this time, though his whereabouts is still unknown. Lady Rui has already been in the palace, and I don't know what Prince Rui will think if he comes back safely in the future. Ha ha...”

”I think she is not a simple woman. She is only a princess, but I heard that his majesty had ever played chess with her alone. Although his majesty is the father of Prince Rui, he should at least avoid playing chess with her. I thought it was like this in the State of Ning before, but now I understand. It seems that there is an ulterior motive. But Prince Rui has suffered a lot. I don't know how many times he has been cuckolded. I heard that she is pregnant. Who is the father of this child then? ”

Their voices were not low, accompanied by a burst of laughter, which sounded particularly harsh.
