"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Yun Shang sneered, "Of course I want Hua Yutong to understand that it's not easy to sling mud at me."
After changing the court clothes, Yun Shang got on the Empress's Phoenix carriage and headed for the downtown under the escort of guards and the government officials.
The place was still very lively. Yun Shang was able to hear the noise of discussion even when she was still in the Empress' carriage.
"Here comes her majesty!"
those discussions seemed to be lowered all of a sudden, and only the voices of the government officials pushing the people to both sides of the road could be heard, "Get out of the way. Her majesty is here, and everyone stays away."
The Empress' carriage kept moving forward until Yun Shang heard a maid's voice coming from outside, "Here we are, your majesty..."
The door of carriage was opened and the bead curtain was lifted. Yun Shang bent down slightly, walked out of the carriage and held the servant's hand.
"Long live Your Majesty!" the greetings were deafening.
Yun Shang glanced around silently at the people kneeling down and then looked at Hua Yutong in front of her.
"The seventh princess," Yun Shang said indifferently.
"I..."
before Hua Yutong could finish her words, Yun Shang interrupted her, "Oh, I shouldn't have called you the seventh princess. Xia Houjing is rebellious and treacherous. He is no longer the noble seventh Prince. You... of course not the seventh princess, but a traitor's wife. "
Hua Yutong's face suddenly changed color.
Yun Shang cast a cold glance at her and said, "I heard that an assassin entered your yard last night and killed the two pregnant concubines of the traitor Xia Houjing. It should be two corpses and four lives. And you took the corpses to the downtown early this morning and spread rumors. You said that the Emperor and I had sent people to kill the two people secretly? Is it true? "
Hua Yutong gritted her teeth and straightened her back, "Indeed, it's true."
Yun Shang smiled, "I have known what you said before. You said that I don't want to be blamed for being heartless for the sake of my reputation, but I want to get rid of Xia Houjing's children in order to avoid future trouble. So I came up with this idea and killed these two concubines and children secretly.
You said you didn't dare to report it to the officials, because his majesty and I are the rulers of the State of Xia, and no official dared to blame me or his majesty. Maybe this matter would have to be left unsettled."
Yun Shang sneered, "You really don't know me at all.
"Am I heartless?" Yun Shang sneered, "Xia Houjing is rebellious. As the seventh princess, you have tried the best of your whole family to help Xia Houjingto rebel blatantly. Your father was arranging everything carefully for Xia Houjing in Liucang City. These two concubines are the daughters of the noble clans in Liucang City. Xia Houjing married them in order to get the support of their family... "
"By the way, both you and the two concubines have contributed a lot to Xia Houjing's rebellion. You are also rebellious women. His majesty and I can get your lives legally. Then why did you say we are heartless?"
What's more, even if I want to secretly dispose of these two women and the unborn children, I will definitely not leave you behind, leaving a hidden trouble for myself. If I were the one who attacked them, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to appear here today and cry for their grievances.
It was not until they returned to the Weiyang Palace that Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu let out a long sigh of relief.
Qian Zhuo helped Yun Shang take off her robe, handed it to a servant nearby and put it away carefully. Then she said softly, "Judging from Hua Yutong's expression, it seems that she didn't expect you to appear."
Yun Shang lifted her hand casually, took off the Golden Phoenix hairpin from her head, and handed it to Qian Zhuo, "It's not appropriate for me to show up or not to show up. I can't find any evidence to prove that it was not me or his majesty who did it in a short time. Even if I find the evidence, I'm afraid that the onlookers will think that I'm lying.
As the onlookers said, I can't ask the officials from Yamen to investigate the case. Even if I send someone to investigate it, they will only it is the scapegoat that I find.
But if I don't show up, it will show that I am guilty."
Qian Liu brought the daily clothes for Yun Shang. Yun Shang stretched out her hands and let Qian Liu help put them on. Then she continued, "So whether I show up or not, Hua Yutong has a way to deal with it.
What she didn't expect is that I didn't show any evidence that I wasn't the murderer, nor did I ask people to find out the truth. I just told the onlookers that both Hua Yutong and the two pregnant concubines deserved to die.
What's more, she didn't expect that I would order people to arrest her and even her family for treason."
Qian Zhuo curled her lips and said, "It's the right way to deal with people like Hua Yutong. We should kill her by surprise."
Yun Shang smiled. Thinking of Luo Qingyan's words yesterday, she squinted again and said, "As for Hua Yutong, I'm afraid she is just a chess piece. The real player is still hiding behind. I have to completely mess up his game before I can force him to show up. "
