Chapter 819 The Letter

Yun Shang return to the mansion from the Palace together with Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan finished his work earlier than the previous days and didn't look tired. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Your Highness seems to be getting familiar with those affairs."

Luo Qingyan also smiled. "Not very familiar. It's just that there are a lot of government affairs piled up in the 10-odd days after His Majesty left Jin City, I've done dealing with them in these days."

"That's good." Then she held Luo Qingyan's hand, giggling, "My uncle is really capable."

Luo Qingyan reached out and held Yun Shang in his arms. He patted Yun Shang's head and said, "Are you praising me or making fun of me? What about you? Didn't you complain that there were too many account books a few days ago? Why did you go to the Palace today?"

Yun Shang smiled quietly, "I also have done with my work." There was another usual thing in the Palace recently except that jewelry purchase thing reported by Qian Yin. I heard from Lin Youran that some servants were also missing for no reason, and she had never heard of the jewelry purchase thing."

Luo Qingyan nodded and thought for a while. Then he looked at Yun Shang and asked softly, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do about it?"

Yun Shang pondered over for a while and said, "I hope Your Highness could offer me the number of the missing people both in the city and in the Palace."

"Well, since Your Highness has given the order, I will definitely send someone to investigate it in two days" Luo Qingyan replied with a smile.

As soon as she returned to her room, Qin Yi came up to her and said with a smile, "Your Highness, there is a letter from the State of Ning."

Yun Shang was surprised, and her face lit up with joy. "Who has wrote to me? Let me have a look." As she spoke, she saw a letter on the desk. Yun Shang picked it up and saw the handwriting of her father on the envelope.

Yun Shang opened the envelope and unfolded the letter. It was written by her mother. In the letter, her mother just told her some trivial things, and gave some detailed instructions to Yun Shang like what she needed to pay attention to when she was about to give birth. But what made Yun Shang frown slightly was the date at the bottom of the letter, June 6th, 9 pm.

Yun Shang got some information from the date. One good news and one problem.

The good news was that Su Ruji didn't pose a threat to her mother. After all, it was about April or May when Su Ruji took out her mother's hairpin to threaten her. If something really happened to her mother, she couldn't have written the letter.

But there was a problem. After Su Ruji threaten her with her mother, she had sent someone to the State of Ning to check. So her mother should've send her letters to relieve her as soon as possible. But the date written in the letter was more than a month after Yun Shang sent the secret guards. Moreover, her mother wrote the letter in June, but it was already August now. It would take at most 20 days from the Imperial City of the State of Ning to Jin City if at top speed. But why did it take two months to send this letter?

"What's wrong?" Luo Qing

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.

m. Yun Shang didn't want to disappoint him, so she asked the servants to prepare a pot of peach blossom wine and put it on the boat.

Luo Qingyan helped Yun Shang get on the boat, refused the servants arranged by the butler to take the boat, and rowed into the lake by himself. Where there were many lotus flowers, the boat couldn't move. Luo Qingyan rowed the boat out of the cluster of lotus leaves and went to a place with few lotus flowers.

In the middle of the lake, Luo Qingyan put down the paddle, walked to Yun Shang, leaned against the rail and lay down towards Yun Shang.

Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan with a smile, "Your Highness looks very happy today. Is there any good news?"

Luo Qingyan neither nodded nor shook his head. He poured a glass of wine with a smile and drank it up. "I could rarely be able to come back to the mansion early like today, so I just want to spend more time with you."

Obviously, Yun Shang didn't believe the reason Luo Qingyan gave. But since Luo Qingyan didn't want to tell her, she stopped asking and just looked at him with a smile.

Luo Qingyan changed the topic unnaturally, "How is it going with the problem about the letter? Have you got any result?"

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Someone sent assailants to chase the secret guards, which made them delay for a period of time on the way."

"Who?" Luo Qingyan squinted, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Yun Shang shook her head. "Those people are very cautious. They didn't take anything that might expose their identity. But the secret guard said that they have an accent of the State of Xia. It could only be someone among Su Ruji, the seventh Prince and Lady Shu. But Su Ruji is more likely to do so. After all, she threatened me with my mother's hairpin."

After saying that, Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan and asked, "When will Empress Hua go back to the Palace? I'm afraid it won't be safe on the way."

Hearing Yun Shang's question, Luo Qingyan answered casually, "They're already on the way. His Majesty has the imperial guards and the palace guards by his side. Nothing will happen."
