Ning Qian giggled at Yun Shang's words, "you are indeed a very capable woman, my lady. You have planted our people everywhere in the state of Xia less than a year after you came here. Yesterday, I made great efforts to send almost all the secret guards who were all kung fu masters to do it. I only chose six weakest place to place the dolls. I placed six dolls and it was even difficult for me to do that. There is no choice to make. I have assigned my men in only two of the six places. After some time, the talents we train will show themselves in the court, by then, it will be easier for us. "
Yun Shang nodded her head, "that's hard for you to do. As a concubine, it's not easy for you to sneak in and get our people in the court."
While Yun Shang was talking, Luo Qingyan appeared at the door of the palace, followed by Liu Wenan, who kept company with Xia Huanyu all the time.
"What brings you here, your highness?" Yun Shang smiled when she saw him and walked to him promptly.
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and replied, "we had a long meeting with his majesty at the Meeting Hall yesterday. Now, I am a little tired, so I ask for leave in the morning court and we can
go back to my mansion first."
Yun Shang thought about it for a while and nodded her head. Yesterday, she had asked the butler to continue searching the mansion with their men. Since it was almost dawn, it would be difficult to search again. She didn't know if they had found anything or not. Besides, she hadn't told Luo Qingyan what she had done yesterday night yet.
"Well, okay, let's go back first." Yun Shang waved at Ning Qian with a smile on her face. But Ning Qian called Yun Shang over, and handed her some clothes and silk threads. Yun Shang was a little surprised, and then immediately realized what it was for then. She smiled at her, and walked out of the Xiang Zhu Palace with Luo Qingyan by her side.
Luo Qingyan looked a bit tired. Yun Shang felt sorry for him. "Are you tired? You can lean against me and have a short nap. "
Luo Qingyan chuckled at Yun Shang's words. He held Yun Shang in his arms and said, "It is just one night. It doesn't matter. Staying in the battlefield for seven days and seven nights without sleeping is not a big deal. It's okay."
Yun Shang didn't want to force him to do anything. She thought for a while and picked out some stuff to say to him. "Last night when I arrived at the Xiang Zhu Palace, I saw Princess Tai An at the gate. She also came to see the emperor. After making a noise outside the palace for more than two hours, Ning Qian still stopped her from seeing the emperor. She came early this morning, probably because of this as well."
Yun Shang nodded her head at his words, "bring it to me."
Then Luo Yi took out a dreadful witch doll from his sleeve. Yun Shang looked at its fabric carefully. It was very exquisite, but not something used in the palace, but made of a relatively good fabric that someone could have bought outside. The silk thread for the embroidery was silver, which could not be used by ordinary people.
"Qian Yin does a good job in needling. I brought some clothes and silk threads from the palace. Change the clothes and silk threads of the witch doll and make it again with those I brought back. Now go and do it quickly. I need to use it after the meal. And don't throw away the changed clothes and silk threads. Keep them. " Yun Shang ordered Qian Yin softly.
Qian Yin said yes, took the stuff from Yun Shang and got into the inner room with the doll in her hand. Luo Qingyan looked up at Yun Shang and said, "is this what you arranged last night?"
Yun Shang replied with a smile on her face, "if our prince mansion is the only place where someone has discovered this kind of stuff, someone will make mischief on purpose and also find an excuse to punish us. The sorceress skill is no other than what we have imagined, and the fears of the royal family for it are much more serious than we have imagined. Anyway, we can't escape from it no matter what we try. But if such things are found in other prince mansions and palaces, and the fabric is from the palace, then it has little to do with us. "
