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."
