Chapter 739 Kill Two Birds With One Stone

Seeing that the Empress' hand on the maid's arm clenching tighter, Yun Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Lady Shu was really restless. Even in this situation, she didn't forget to provoke the Empress, making the Empress have a grudge against her.

Yun Shang looked up at Lady Shu, who was wearing a calm face. She smiled and said, "Lady Shu, you must have suffered a lot these days. It was the Wanshou Festival a few days ago. And this year, Her Majesty has to run it alone without anyone to assist as Lady Xiang and Lady Hui have been pregnant, which delayed the time to send rewards to Lady Shu and Lady Xian."

As soon as Yun Shang said this, the Empress understood her intention at once. With a smile on her face, she said, "Yes, as three blessings have descended upon, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict to hold a grand ceremony. We've been so busy with it that we neglected you. Someone, bring the gift up."

Yun Shang's eyes were fixed on Lady Shu, and she could even see the slightest change on her face. Lady Shu turned pale at once. Her hands trembled slightly, and she sneered, "What a good news! I'm honored, it's hard for His Majesty to remember me in such a situation."

Lady Shu wanted to piss the Empress off. She wanted to tell the Empress that even if Lady Xiang and Lady Hui were pregnant, Xia Huanyu still remembered to give her a reward.

Obviously, the Empress was also not easy to get along with. She smiled and said, "You can't blame His Majesty. He was so busy these two days. If it weren't for Shang'er's reminder, I would have forgotten it."

Although the Empress mentioned her, Yun Shang just stood there with a smile and looked around secretly.

Lowering her head, Lady Shu didn't say anything, and the blue veins on her hands bulged.

"We've been here for a while. Where is Lady Xian?" The Empress glanced around and said indifferently with a bit of disgust in her eyes.

Lady Shu still didn't raise her head. She just replied casually, "Lady Xian is lying inside. It has been raining for two days and she caught a cold and felt dizzy."

"I see." The Empress waved the brocade handkerchief in her hand indifferently. "Then have a rest. I won't go in. Lady Rui is also pregnant. Let's go first, in case we get sick."

Yun Shang hurriedly responded and helped the Empress out of the gate of Wu Yan Palace.

After the Empress came out, the guards at the gate quickly waved their hands and said, "Close the door."

Yun Shang turned around and saw Lady Shu looking up at their backs, smiling weirdly. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking back, Lady Shu just raised her hand and gently held her thumb, index finger and middle finger together.

Yun Shang frowned, hurriedly turned around and left with the Empress.

After walking far away, the Empress stamped her feet heavily, squinted her eyes and said coldly, "Lady Shu w

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

our Highness, please forgive me. It's my fault. I will send more people to search."

Yun Shang nodded and looked at Qi Ruihai, "So what did you come here for?"

Qi Ruihai was stunned by Yun Shang's question. After a while, he said, "Nothing important. I just passed by Zhaoxia Palace and came in to ask if there is anything unusual in Zhaoxia Palace recently."

Yun Shang looked up at Qi Ruihai and sneered, "My maid is missing? Is it unusual? "

Embarrassed, Qi Ruihai lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.

Yun Shang snorted and stood up. She ignored Qi Ruihai] and went straight into the inner hall.

Cai Yi also came in and said to Yun Shang softly, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have embarrassed Lord Qi like this. In this Palace, institutions like the Neishi Bureau and the Imperial Household Department seem to be of little use, but the staff are the last people we should offend."

Yun Shang didn't say a word. She went to the couch and lay down. She knew very well why Qi Ruihai came here. When Yun Shang entered Linglong Palace, she saw several eunuchs standing outside. It was highly possible that Qi Ruihai wanted to search Zhaoxia Palace.

Now that she had guessed his intention, she had to take the initiative. She was at least a princess, and now she was living in the Palace, and many people were watching her. If she showed a little weakness, she would definitely be trampled underfoot.

Qin Yi took the teapot and went out of the inner hall. Seeing that Yun Shang ignored her, Cai Yi didn't mention about the matter of Qi Ruihai any more. She said softly, "Your Highness, you need a rest. I'll bring the quilt for you."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and picked up a book to read.

After getting the quilt, Yun Shang waved her hand and asked Cai Yi to leave. When Qin Yi made tea for her, Yun Shang had a cup of tea and said softly, "I'll sleep for a while. Wake me up in two hours."
