Chapter 863 The Death Of Court Officials (1/2)

A gleam flashed in Hua Yutong's eyes. She lowered her head and said with a smile, ”If I find anything unusual, I will tell you as soon as possible, just like I told you about General Feng Ming last time.”

At that time, Hua Yutong might still be on the same side of her and the Hua clan, Yun Shang thought. But now, things were different.

”Speaking of this, I really want to thank you. If you hadn't told me that the seventh Prince had met Feng Ming, I wouldn't have known that Empress Hua was still alive in KY City. You have contributed a lot to the return of Empress Hua and the title of the Crown Prince. We are just like sisters. I will remember your kindness.” Yun Shang said with a smile.

However, Hua Yutong seemed to be stunned, with panic in her eyes. ”Because of me?”

Yun Shang nodded, ”Yes. Don't you know? Wan't it you who told me that the seventh Prince had met Feng Ming? Then I asked His Highness to send someone to keep an eye on Feng Ming. I didn't expect that the secret guard would block his memorial which said that Empress Hua was still alive and was in KY City. As soon as I saw it, I felt that something was wrong. But at that time, His Highness had already led his troops to fight, and I had no choice but to pretend to be missing. Then I went to KY City and met Empress Hua.”

Hua Yutong trembled slightly and her face turned pale. Yun Shang sighed in her heart. Empress Hua was probably afraid that the seventh Prince would blame her for this.

How could she fall in love with the seventh Prince and be so obedient? However, the seventh Prince were the person she and Luo Qingyan had to get rid of.

They would never be friends with the seventh Prince.

”Have a try. It's almost October. Why is it still stuffy and hot? ” Yun Shang said with a smile.

Hua Yutong forced a smile, grabbed a osmanthus cake closest to her and took a bite. ”Eh, what kind of cake is this? It's delicious, with a strong fragrance of osmanthus.”

Hearing this, Yun Shang's hand paused for a moment, and she asked with undisguised surprise, ”Haven't you eaten this before?”

Hua Yutong nodded slightly, ”What's wrong?”

Yun Shang exclaimed, ”Oh, no!”

”What happened?” Hua Yutong looked up at Yun Shang in confusion.

Yun Shang hurriedly said, ”Yesterday, I saw that the Osmanthus fragrans were in full bloom, so I asked someone to pick some and make osmanthus cakes. Thinking of that you like sweet food all the time, I asked someone to send a basket of Osmanthus cakes to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. The servant who sent the osmanthus cakes came back and told me that when he went there, he met the seventh Prince. The seventh Prince said he was going to visit you and he would take the Osmanthus cakes to you...”

Hearing this, Hua Yutong was also stunned, and gradually became flustered. ”Is there anything wrong with the osmanthus cakes?”

Yun Shang frowned slightly and said, ”Thanks to you, Empress Hua could go back to
