Chapter 917 A Head-on Blow

Yun Shang turned around and went down the pavilion. The Imperial Garden was full of blooming flowers. Yun Shang was holding Bao'er in her arms. Bao'er waved his hand gently, and a yellow chrysanthemum petal fell down on the ground. Yun Shang's eyes fell on the scattered petals on the ground. After a long silence, she said indifferently, "There are countless flowers withering every day in the Palace..."

Qin Yi didn't know what Yun Shang meant. She smiled and said, "After all, it's late autumn. The winter will come soon. These flowers can't stand the cold weather, but the plum blossoms are about to bloom."

Yun Shang smiled, "Yes, some others will bloom when some withered." Then she held Bao'er more tightly and headed towards Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace had been cleaned up, and no one could see that someone had died there just now. Yun Shang's eyes flashed, and she quickly walked back to the inner hall. She turned around and ordered Hua'er, "Go to call the directors of the Imperial Household Department and Neishi Bureau here."

Hua'er received the order and left Weiyang Palace.

Qin Yi looked at Hua'er's back and said with a smile, "The Weiyang Palace is so big. I think Your Majesty should choose a few confidants to be around you as soon as possible. When I and Hua'er leave for something, there is no trusted maid around you. I can't rest assured."

Yun Shang picked up a rattle and shook it in front of Bao'er. Bao'er stared at it and laughed happily. Seeing Bao'er's happy face, Yun Shang felt less depressed. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll mention it when the directors of the imperial household department and Neishi Bureau come later. By the way, as His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty live in the same palace now, they should have enough servants serving and protecting them. I'll go to ask them to let Qian Zhuo come back to me when I have time."

Hearing this, Qin Yi was overjoyed. She smiled and said, "It's time to feed the little prince. I'll call Dr. Chen and the wet nurse over, and then go to the kitchen to watch them cooking soup."

"Okay." Yun Shang nodded.

After a while, the wet nurse came. Yun Shang saw that Chen Miaosi didn't come with her, so she asked casually, "Where is Dr. Chen?"

The wet nurse was stunned for a while and then quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Dr. Chen said that she would pick some chrysanthemums to make chrysanthemum cakes when she saw the chrysanthemum blooming well in the garden."

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She had lived in Changbai Mountain for a long time and did whatever she wanted. Did she know that most of the flowers in the Imperial Garden are precious and rare? Well, just forget it. Let her be.

She thought for a while and remembered that chrysanthemum was effective for clearing heat. It would be good for them to eat some chrysanthemum cakes.

"Ask Chen Miaosi to pick some chrysanthemums for me." Yun Shang said with a smile.

The wet nurse replied, took Bao'er over and left.

Yun Shang asked someone to make tea fo

he Empress so soon..."

"Yes, who would have thought of that?" Li Fuhua sneered, "who could expect that she would get the position?"

After a brief pause, he continued, "But she seems to be an impatient and reckless person. She just made a big fuss about such a trifle. I noticed that even her face turned pale."

However, Qi Ruihai didn't respond and just walked silently.

Li Fuhua continued, "Did she really think herself to be an empress? Even a woman like Su Ruji failed to hold the position. How could it be possible for her to keep it? At least, a person who only knows to get angry with us will never be able to survive in this Palace. I'm afraid she'll soon be defeated in the complicated Palace."

Qi Ruihai turned around and looked at the direction of Weiyang Palace. A deep light flashed in his eyes. "I think we can't underestimate her. I heard that the current emperor has a special preference for her and he hasn't married any concubine. And His Former Majesty also speaks highly of her. The Empress has gone to the battlefield and knows medical skills. At least, she is the one many people want to get rid of, including Empress Su, Lady Shu, the Eldest Princess and the seventh Prince. But none of them succeeded. Isn't this young Empress still alive? On the contrary, none of those who want to deal with her have a good end except the seventh Prince."

Li Fuhua sniffed, "She is just lucky. Besides, the current emperor is behind her, isn't he? And the Eldest Princess and Empress Su were killed by His Former Majesty, not her. She is just a teenage girl. The number of people I have framed is even more than that of the meal she have had. How can she fight against me? How dare she humiliate me like that? I will definitely let her pay the price."

As Li Fuhua spoke, he looked up and saw the imperial household department in front of him. He entered it without saying goodbye to Qi Ruihai.

Qi Ruihai stared at the back of Li Fuhua. After a moment of silence, he sighed and went back to the Neishi Bureau.
