As her clothes were soaked with wine, Yun Shang took an excuse to leave early. Prince Jing stood up to make an apology and left with her. They went out of the palace and went to the prince's mansion in a carriage.
"Is the wine poisoned?" Luo Qingyan squinted, with intense coldness in his eyes.
Yun Shang nodded, "that maid is really smart. I have been drinking tea before. If she has added the wine to the table very early, I would be suspicious about it. People paid close attention to Vice Minister Su and Princess Tai An at that time. She got the courage to pour the wine, probably because she saw that I didn't pay attention to my table. I was not suspicious at first, but she changed the seats of my tea cup and wine cup before pouring the wine. I was suspicious about it, so I gave you a secret signal, letting you shout so she could spill the wine. After the wine was spilled, I confirmed that the wine was really poisonous. " Just now, when the chopsticks were touched by the wine on the table, their color changed a little. All the chopsticks in the palace were made of silver.
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hands, frowned, and let out a sigh. "After knowing my identity, I sent some people to the state of Xia. However, the situation was not clear at that time, because those people were useless. Now that we have just started our new life here, and someone is plotting against us that we are not familiar with this place and wants to kill you. It seems that I should transfer my power to the state of Xia as soon as possible. But other people who cast greedy eyes on us will be on the alert, so we will wait at least three months. Shang'er, you'd better stay at home and pretend that you get sick during the three months. Just in case. "
Yun Shang smiled and whispered to him, "But in my opinion, we don't have to be so cautious. I can see that everyone is trying to figure out what we have prepared in advance in the state of Xia from the looks on their faces today. If we are cautious and careful, we will definitely arouse suspicion of others, we might as well behave ourselves. Let them guess whether we are truly powerful or just bluffing. "
Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and nodded his head slightly, "it's up to you." Then he turned to Yun Shang and took her in his arms, whispering, "I'm afraid that the concubines and the Empress will come to bother you in the following days. You don't like social engagements. If you don't want to see them, just have someone to send them back. "
Yun Shang chuckled, but she knew that she had to learn it no matter how reluctant she was. She was no longer in the state of Ning, nor was she the noble emperor's daughther anymore. Lady Rui, this title was still of high rank. But those in the palace are mothers of Luo Qingyan in name. Some of the princesses are his aunts and some are his sisters. Which of them can be easily offended by her? They had just arrived in the state of Xia, and there would be a long way ahead of them. The women in the imperial household had a complicated relationship with the previous dynasty, and they had no idea of it now.
Back home, there was quiet for two days. Yun Shang ordered the butler to assign the servants. She only needed to see the account book every day, and the other time she was reading the pamphlet of an eminent clan called the state of Xia.
With his title, Luo Qingyan got up early every day and went to the court. Yun Shang got up at that time. Two days ago, she was not used to it. In the daytime, she always yawned. Now, she had gradually got used to it.
