Hearing his words, Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment, then put down the window curtain and sat there gloomily. After a while, he said, "You suddenly said you would go out of the city to pray. Is it because you knew that the seventh prince had knelt down outside the Taiji hall the whole night and knew what his majesty was going to do, so you took me out of the city with you because you worried that I would be unhappy?"
Yun Shang was surprised at Luo Qingyan's sudden thought. After thinking for a while, Yun Shang said with a smile, "We can't control everything. Sometimes we could only watch things happen. Instead of upsetting ourselves, we'd rather live our own lives."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, Luo Qingyan understood a bit. He forced a smile and said, "I just don't understand why his majesty is so indulgent to him?"
"I also don't understand. But I believe that things always happen for a reason. We failed this time, but the emperor must have a grudge against the seventh prince. We should make adequate preparations before we carry out our next move. First, we need to find out the reason why his majesty allowed the seventh prince to be so arrogant. Then, we'll find the right solution and try to do it in a short time." Yun Shang chuckled, "There are a lot of days ahead. And this time, I've learned a lot from it, at least..."
Yun Shang thought about it for a while and said, "at least we can use this incident to provoke someone..."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan turned his head, frowned, and thought for a moment before saying, "You mean the empress?"
Yun Shang smiled and nodded. "The seventh prince is the murderer of the crown prince. Now we are trying to tell the empress that the emperor himself asked to set him free. And for the matter happening now, his majesty must have ordered not to tell anyone about it. The empress may not know what happened yesterday in the seventh prince's mansion, and why the seventh prince knelt down in front of the Taiji hall. If the empress knows about it one by one, I don't know what she will think."
Luo Qingyan frowned and remained silent for a long time.
"I'm afraid the empress hated him most for losing her son in her middle age." Yun Shang smiled coldly. She had gone through the pain of losing her son in her previous life, so she knew how painful it was. She could shout and cry, but the empress could only bite her lips and swallow her blood. Even though she knows that her enemy was in front of her, she could only pretend to smile elegantly and comfortably. But it doesn't mean that she doesn't feel any pain. She has hidden the pain well.
"Okay, do as you said." Luo Qingyan sighed. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. After a long time, he smiled as if he was laughing at himself. "The hardest thing to guess is one's heart."
Yun Shang knew he was still angry, but she had tried her best to console him, and give him ideas. Yun Shang lowered her head and held Luo Qingyan's hand tightly. She said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. There's a long way to go. No matter how complacent the seventh prince is now, we're the ones who laugh at last, and only us. I trust you, and you should trust yourself too. "
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and pulled Yun Shang into his arms. He kissed her on the cheek and nodded. "You are right. We will be the final winner."
The temple was not very far. It only took them an hour. Qin Yi opened the door of the carriage. Then Luo Qingyan jumped off the carriage first and helped Yun Shang get off.
The temple was located halfway up the mountain. Fortunately, there was no step. The carriage directly stopped at the gate of the temple. Yun Shang looked up at the door of the temple and smiled. Then she went into the temple with Luo Qingyan.
Although it was the right time for Spring Festival, there were still many people seeking for new year's gifts.
Both Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang were pretty good-looking, and there were quite a few onlookers along the way. Fearing that Yun Shang might be hurt by the crowd, he immediately held her in arms and asked Qin Yi to find the abbot, and the abbot personally led them to a room on the mountain behind the temple.
"Prince Rui, Lady Rui, please." The abbot pushed the door of the room open and led them in.
