Chapter 441 The Crisis Resolved (Part One)

Yun Shang nodded her head slightly at their words and walked in directly. The entrance of the Xiang Zhu Palace was lit up. A court maid was waiting for her at the gate. When she saw Yun Shang, she greeted her with a smile and immediately came to her. "Please wait a moment here, your highness. I'm going to inform his majesty."

Yun Shang agreed, and then sorted out her thoughts in silence.

"Your highness, the emperor is inviting you to come inside." A servant hurried out and whispered to her, leading Yun Shang into the Xiang Zhu Palace.

Xia Huanyu was reading a book in the dim light. When he heard footsteps of Yun Shang, he looked up at Yun Shang and then at Ning Qian, who was embroidering. He then asked indifferently, "it's so late. What brings you here in such a hurry?"

Yun Shang quickly knelt on one knee, curtsied to him and said, "Your Majesty, when Prince Rui and I moved to the mansion, we were in a hurry and didn't clean it up. Today, I went to the mansion of Lord Hua Guo and ordered the servants to clean our mansion up. But I didn't expect to find a witchcraft doll in a deserted courtyard. It has your Majesty's name and birth time on it. "

"What?" A hint of coldness and menace flashed across Xia Huanyu's eyes when he heart this.

"I wasn't there during that time. The servant who found the doll was an old man. He didn't report it to the butler. Instead, he spread it out privately. When the steward found out the news, the old servant was dead and the doll was gone. I think it's a matter of great importance, so I came to the palace late at night to report to your majesty. It's lucky that your majesty hasn't rested yet. " Yun Shang lowered her head after this. She was in a hurry, and a thin layer of swe

let out sigh when she saw Ning Qian call in servants to take care of everything in an orderly way. "Living in the imperial palace is really a good way to exercise your ability. You used to be reliable, but you never went in the wrong way. Now you have your own plan. I don't know if it's a good thing or not."

Ning Qian had arranged everything quickly. She turned to look at Yun Shang and said with a smile, "in this palace, food and drink are the best. I think it's good for me. I was born in a brothel. If I weren't saved by you and your father, I would have watched my mother being tortured to death. And I will face the same fate. I know you feel sorry for letting me into the palace, your highness. But this is my own choice and I'm very satisfied with my life right now. "

Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled without saying anything.

"Your Highness, since you don't go back to your mansion tonight, you'd better take a rest in the side palace. I've heard from the servants that Princess Tai an will come tomorrow early in the morning. Your highness just needs to recuperate and wait for tomorrow to watch a drama." Ning Qian smiled and advised.
