Chapter 763 Turning Around (1/2)
Xia Huanyu stared at Yun Shang for a long time and said indifferently, ”Since you've returned to Jin City, where are you going to live? I've asked someone to clean up Prince Rui's mansion, but I'm afraid that you can't live in the yard you used to live in anymore. And the Zhaoxia Palace is still available. You could go there if you don't want to live in Prince Rui's mansion.”
Without hesitation, Yun Shang smiled and said, ”I'll go back to Prince Rui's mansion. I haven't been back for a long time.” After a pause, Yun Shang rolled her eyes and said softly, ”Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request. Please agree.”
”You have made a great contribution this time. Just tell me what you want.” Xia Huanyu said in a calm voice, fiddling with the jade ring on his thumb.
Yun Shang lifted her mouth into a brief smile. ”Now that the eldest princess has been caught. Although Lady Xiang was recommended to the Palace by her, she has never done anything to help the devil. I want to take her out of the Palace.”
Xia Huanyu's hand, which was caressing the jade ring, paused for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and said, ”No matter why she came to the Palace, she is already my concubine. How can I let her go? There has never been a case of letting a concubine out of the palace since ancient times.”
”Your Majesty has just said that I have made great contributions and can ask for anything I want. An emperor could not go back on his words. Besides, His Majesty only said that there has been no precedent to let a concubine out of the Palace. But it doesn't matter if a maid is missing in the Palace.” Yun Shang knelt down and bowed to Xia Huanyu.
A hint of doubt flashed through Xia Huanyu's eyes. ”Are you asking for Lady Xiang who is locked up in Xiangzhu Palace now?”
Yun Shang was shocked. Why did Xia Huanyu ask this question? Did he already know that the lady in Xiangzhu Palace was no longer Ning Qian? It couldn't be. If he had known it, how could there be no movement in the Palace?
Yun Shang thought for a long time and finally didn't dare to take the risk. She smiled and said, ”There is only one Lady Xiang in the Palace. If you let go the one in Xiangzhu Palace, of course there will be no Lady Xiang in the Palace.”
Looking at Yun Shang, Xia Huanyu said coldly, ”I know. You must be tired these days. Go back and have a rest.”
Yun Shang curtsied to him and exited.
Before Yun Shang left the palace, the news of the eldest princess' rebellion had been known to all in Jin City. As soon as she walked out of Taiji Palace, Yun Shang saw a servant in cyan standing aside. Seeing Yun Shang come out, she immediately walked up to her and said, ”Your Highness, I'm a maid from Shuya Palace. Lady Shu sent me to invite you to her palace.”
Lady Shu...
