"He has run away?"
in the Taiji Palace, Yun Shang leaned against the couch and asked Luo Qingyan with a smile.
"Yes, he's run away."
Luo Qingyan took the sachet from his waist and played with it, "I've ordered the secret guards to chase after him about a quarter of an hour later. He will have completely disappeared then."
Yun Shang nodded and kept silent for a while. Then she asked, "Is there any news from the Cao mansion?"
"After the Weiyang Palace was burnt down, the news was spread to the Cao mansion. Old Lady Cao summoned her sons to have a meeting in the study for about four hours. Later, the butler of the Cao mansion went in again. I think it's because he got the news that Xia Houjing has escaped."
Yun Shang smiled, "The Cao clan must know that we have been suspicious of them. I'm afraid that they won't go to look for Xia Houjing for the time being after hearing the news."
Luo Qingyan didn't take it seriously at all. He replied, "It doesn't matter whether they will go to find him or not. With your poison in his body, I am sure Xia Houjing will definitely have a hard time."
With that, Luo Qingyan seemed to think of something, so he asked, "By the way, when will that poison take effect?"
"One day after he is poisoned. Once his unstable mood swings begins, the poison will show its effect. When this happens, he can't control his temper. He will become violent and have infinite power. Sometimes he will even have an illusion and become very murderous."
Luo Qingyan nodded and smiled, "I just wonder when Xia Houjing will realize that he is poisoned.
When Xia Houjing comes to his senses, it will be very interesting."
"Alas, if I had thought of this method earlier, he would have been this way now. It is better to let Xia Houjing go than to worry that he would become a time bomb and that there would be trouble if he was removed. Actually, as long as we have something in hand to control him, he will never be able to get out of our hands. "
"Yes, your majesty is smart." Luo Qingyan smiled and then he continued, "Now that Weiyang Palace is burnt down, your majesty can rest assured to live in the Taiji Palace. It's getting late now. Your majesty, you'd better go to bed early. Let me serve the Empress in bed..."
Yun Shang darted him a glance and stood up, "I have to take a bath. Because of today's fire in the Weiyang Palace, however, all my clothes have been burnt away. The Shangyi Bureau has to make new clothes for me before the night is out. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it until tomorrow at the earliest. "
"It doesn't matter." Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up. "You can wear my clothes first."
"……" Yun Shang had planned to send someone to get her a dress for the maid.
Luo Qingyan seemed to understand what Yun Shang was thinking, "The maid's clothes are still not comfortable enough. I have many clothes that I haven't worn at all. Although they are a little bigger, it doesn't matter. You will just need to wear them for one night anyway. The Shangyi Bureau will send new clothes here tomorrow morning."
Seeing Luo Qingyan look so excited, Yun Shang swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
Luo Qingyan stood up, opened the suitcase and looked for clothes. "Come on, I'll pick a dress for you myself. Although the Empress is a natural beauty, the dress I choose will certainly make you more beautiful."
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan coldly, snorted but said nothing.
Soon, Luo Qingyan got the clothes ready, but he didn't show them to Yun Shang. He only took Yun Shang into the bathroom behind, but they didn't stay and entered another door in the bathroom.
