"Plead for him?" Luo Qingyan sneered and said nothing.
Yun Shang knew that he must be quite unhappy now. She said in a softer tone, "That's right. Plead with his majesty for him. Now we all know that his majesty is not going to do anything to him. Since you have known this result, you'd better go to the Taiji hall to plead for the seventh prince, and in this way, you might get a good reputation for caring your brother."
Although Luo Qingyan was a little unhappy, he was considering her advice. Hearing Yun Shang's words, he understood her plan. He was silent for a moment, and then nodded. He stood up and sighed. "Okay, I'll go."
Yun Shang hurriedly stopped Luo Qingyan and smiled, "Don't rush. It's windy at night. Put on more clothes... " Then Yun Shang turned around and asked Qin Yi to bring the warmest underwear and robe to help Luo Qingyan put them on. She also took cotton trousers for Luo Qingyan to put on. "Since you decide to do it, you should make it more real. Your knees won't hurt with the thick trousers."
Seeing that Yun Shang busy with the preparations for him, Luo Qingyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "How could you ask your husband to kneel in front of the Taiji hall for a whole night..."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "You are good at Kung Fu. It's no big deal to kneel for one night. Besides, you could get some benefits in the future if you do it."
Luo Qingyan smiled, bent over and kissed Yun Shang's forehead gently. He smiled and said, "Well, my shang'er, you are always thinking for me. I will listen to you." Then he put on clothes as Yun Shang told.
Seeing that Yun Shang was about to fetch the thermos, Luo Qingyan hurriedly held Yun Shang's hand and said with a smile, "No need. How could I take a thermos with me to kneel on the ground with seventh prince? It's inappropriate."
Yun Shang thought for a while and realized that it was not a good idea, so she had to give up. She quickly ordered Qian Liu to make a bowl of ginger soup. "It's cold at night. There is no need to rush at this moment. Drink it before you leave."
Luo Qingyan didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. He stopped Yun Shang and said, "If I don't be quick, the palace gate will close."
Yun Shang then stopped and walk him out of the yard. She sighed gently, "What should I do? I'm a little regretful."
Luo Qingyan smiled and touched Yun Shang's head. "Only one night. As you said, people all think I am cool and even indifferent. Sometimes, it's not a good thing. Why don't I go if I had such a chance? "
Yun Shang nodded and watched Luo Qingyan leave the yard. After a long time, she went back to her room.
The moment Luo Qingyan left, Yun Shang appeared a little depressed. She walked back and forth in the room for several times before she whispered, "No. Now that his highness is in the palace, I'll let Ning Qian or Lin Youran help."
The three maids were standing by. Qian Liu smiled at Yun Shang, "What do you want? I'll ask someone to inform them. "
Yun Shang thought for a while and murmured, "I can't do it too obviously."
She walked back and forth in the hall for several times. Then she turned to Qian Liu, "Tell Ning Qian or Lin Youran to go to the Taiji hall to deliver some soup to the emperor. They just need to tell his majesty that they saw Prince Rui kneeling down with the seventh prince outside the hall and asked what did the two princess do wrong."
Qian Liu curtsied to Yun Shang, and obeyed.
Yun Shang went back to her bed and lied down on it. She frowned and regretted letting Luo Qingyan do it. He was the one who was suffering, but she was the one who was in a bad mood.
Qin Yi smiled and asked the maids to prepare the hot water. She went to the couch and squatted. "Your Highness, you did a good job. The last thing the emperor wants is that his children fight against each other for his throne. His majesty already has a grudge against the seventh prince for the matter. If his highness did something like that, it would show that he is a noble and righteous man."
Yun Shang nodded gently. Although she knew that, she still couldn't help worrying about him. It was in severe winter and it was cold outside. Although he was skillful in Kung Fu, he wouldn't be able to endure the coldness.
As the maid brought a basin of hot water, Yun Shang wash her face and rinse her mouth. Yun Shang wanted to read a book for a while, but madam Qi, who came in and took care of things, saw it and persuaded her hurriedly, "It's dark at night. You'd better not read. It's not good for the baby."
Hearing her words, Yun Shang had to put the book down. There was nothing to do except reading. So she rested early.
The next day, Yun Shang woke up very early, even before the sun rose. Since she had woken up, Yun Shang didn't want to stay on the bed. She called several maids in to dress and make up.
They were surprised, "Your Highness, you wake up so early today." Qian Zhuo said with a smile.
