Chapter 893 Startling by Each Step (2/2)

Yun Shang said indifferently, ”Cross the bridge when we get to it.”

Now she had to c

hought they wanted to take the opportunity to find faults with Luo Qingyan, but it turned out that they did it for... the Empress?

But she didn't know if they had foreseen the appearance of Empress Hua today. If not, how could it be so coincident? If so, she had to admire the person behind it.

But on second thought, they even discussed the rumor in the Crown Prince's mansion, so it must have been widely spread outside. If Empress Hua didn't disappear, she wouldn't let the rumor continue to spread. It was surely a good chance for her to break the rumor as many people had attended the party.

When Qin Yi returned with Bao'er, Empress Hua took Bao'er over and said smilingly, ”Bao'er is stronger.”

Yun Shang saw a middle-aged woman coming over cautiously. She smiled and said, ”The little prince is so cute.”

Yun Shang curled her lips up into a cold smile. In the recent two days, Yun Shang had been reading the information about the family members of the officials in the court since she was scolded by Ning Qian as she didn't know where Hua Yutong's home was.

Now Yun Shang knew this woman, Lady Qian, the wife of the Deputy Minister of Revenue who had just died a few days ago.

Glancing at Lady Qian indifferently, Empress Hua smiled and asked, ”Who is this lady?”

Seeing that Empress Hua looked gentle and spoke in a friendly tone, Lady Qian became bolder. She smiled and said, ”Nice to meet you, Your Majesty. I'm Li Xiulan, the wife of the former Deputy Minister of Revenue.”

”Deputy Minister of Revenue, is his name Qian Rujun? Is he the victim of the case that was widely discussed not long ago?” Squinting her eyes, Empress Hua asked softly.

Li Xiulan nodded with a sad look on her face, ”Yes.”

A tinge of pity appeared on Empress Hua's face. She said in a softer voice, ”I'm sorry.”

However, Li Xiulan raised her head and looked at the Empress. ”Don't you remember me, Your Majesty? I once gave Your Majesty a kite as a gift.”

Yun Shang's hand, which was tidying up Bao'er's clothes, paused for a moment, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes.
