Chapter 984 Trust Between Husband And Wife (1/2)

Yun Shang saw her pale face in Xia Huanyu's eyes, and the astonishment on her face was obvious. Yun Shang quickly hid her expression, silently picked up the black chess piece that had just fallen, and then looked up at Xia Huanyu. Her voice was slow and powerful.

”I've heard that father only doted on mother in the imperial household regardless of others' opposition. After mother's accident, father also had the plan to abdicate and look for her. Father, you can do this when you even didn't know whether or not mother was still alive. Moreover, Shang'er is still a living person now. You are not the only one who can give up the throne for your beloved one.”

Xia Huanyu's eyes darkened. He chuckled, but there seemed to be a hint of self-mockery, sarcasm, and some unknown emotions in his laughter.

”Like father, like son.” Said Xia Huanyu in a somewhat cold voice.

”Do you want to take your favorite tea set with you?” Hua Ling walked out and asked softly.

Xia Huanyu's indifferent expression faded away. When he turned his head, a gentle smile appeared on his face. ”Take it. Just put it in the carriage. If we have nothing else to do, we could boil the tea in the carriage.”

Hua Ling glanced at the maid behind her, and the maid quickly responded, turned around and entered the inner hall again.

Since Hua Ling was there, Xia Huanyu and Yun Shang changed the topic at the same time, only talking about some ordinary things.

After Luo Qingyan finished dealing with the political affairs, he went straight to the Taihe Palace. The four of them had dinner together, taking it as a farewell to Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling.

After dinner, it was completely dark. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan walked towards Weiyang Palace. Yun Shang recalled what Xia Huanyu had said and what Luo Qingyan had said to Liu Yinfeng yesterday. Her mind was in a mess.

In this situation, they had to choose between abdication and concubine selection.

Yun Shang bit her lips. She would feel guilty to Luo Qingyan if Luo Qingyan abdicated. But she couldn't accept the fact that Luo Qingyan would marry a concubine, unless she left Luo Qingyan.

Between guilt and leave, her choice was evident.

Yun Shang clenched her fists in her sleeves. Just as Ning Qian said, she had always been planning for Luo Qingyan. Let her be selfish this time.

Yun Shang was taken aback when her hand was being held suddenly and turned around.

Under the dim light of the lantern, Luo Qingyan's eyes looked a little deep. He was staring at her.

Yun Shang came to her senses and asked, ”Your Majesty, what's wrong?”

Luo Qingyan frowned. He looked at Yun Shang for a while and said, ”That's what I want to ask you. Look at you. You look upset. What happened?”
