Chapter 983 Make Insinuations

Luo Qingyan fell asleep before Yun Shang answered. Yun Shang pushed Luo Qingyan aside, stood up and sat down for a while. Then she took off the shoes, socks and robes for Luo Qingyan, covered him with a quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

She kept thinking about Luo Qingyan's question. He asked her whether she preferred the State of Ning or the State of Xia.

Yun Shang closed her eyes, but she couldn't calm down for a long time. Why did Luo Qingyan ask her this question? Did Liu Yinfeng agree to his request? That was why he asked her where she liked and wanted to live in seclusion with her?

Yun Shang bit her lips, struggling in her heart. She came to the State of Xia with Luo Qingyan. In the past two years, they had a hard time. At the beginning, they were controlled and calculated by others. Later, they gradually gain a firm foothold in the state. Only she knew how hard it was. In the past two years, they had hardly had a day off. For several times, they had almost lost their lives.

Although the throne was granted by Xia Huanyu, without Luo Qingyan's efforts, he wouldn't have been the emperor with so many calculated opponents around him.

In the past few months, Luo Qingyan had been working very hard for both internal strife and external strife. He went to the court early in the morning every day and didn't return to the Weiyang Palace until late at night.

And now he planned to give up the throne because of her. Even Yun Shang would feel reluctant, let alone Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan who was asleep. She touched Luo Qingyan's eyes and brows slowly, but she was struggling in her heart.

"Your Majesty?" Qian Zhuo's came from outside.

Yun Shang was taken aback. She quickly withdrew her hand, stood up and put down the bed curtain. Then she quickly walked to the door and lifted the bead curtain. "What's wrong?"

"Do you want me to help you wash up?" Qian Zhuo replied.

Yun Shang nodded slightly and said, "come in."

Qian Zhuo helped Yun Shang wash up and then untied her hair. Yun Shang lifted the bed curtain and lay beside Luo Qingyan. She blew out the light in the room. The inner hall was dark. Yun Shang slowly closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep.

In fact, there was another solution to the current situation...

Yun Shang bit her lower lip, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She didn't fall asleep until the early morning. When she woke up, it was already noon. The Lantern Festival represented the end of the Spring Festival.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang lay on the bed and didn't want to move. After a while, Qian Zhuo came in and poked her head towards the bed. When she saw Yun Shang open her eyes, she was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you're awake? I thought you are still asleep."

Yun Shang turned to Qian Zhuo, nodded and asked, "How's the weather today?"

"It's fine. Although it's not sunny, there's no wind or snow," Qian Zhuo said with a smile

Yun Shang nodded.

Seeing that Yun Shang had no intenti

n the daytime that I have a lot of dreams at night." Hua Ling didn't understand what Yun Shang meant, so she had to comfort her casually.

Yun Shang nodded with a smile and said softly, "yes."

After sitting for a while, Hua Ling stood up and took the maids to the inner hall, asking them to put everything they needed to take into the cases. Yun Shang heard the voice of Hua Ling from inside from time to time.

Glancing at Yun Shang, Xia Huanyu lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's not good for you to know too much about something. You'd better not even dream about it."

Yun Shang knew what Xia Huanyu meant, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, father. I got it."

"Got it?" Xia Huanyu shook his head. "You didn't. Many things are not as simple as you think, or as complicated as you think. You are the Empress after all. What you need to control is the imperial household. Don't underestimate the imperial household. Sometimes, the imperial household is much more important than you think. "

"The selection, which is held every three years, should continue. Qingyan has just ascended the throne, and there should be a selection this year." Xia Huanyu frowned slightly.

"Do you think that I always try to put women around Qingyan to oppose you?" A cold smile played at the corners of Xia Huanyu's mouth. He waited for Yun Shang to put a piece on the chessboard. He paused and looked at the chessboard for a long time before he said, "I don't mean to be against you. I was just that the State of Xia need someone to inherit in the future. How could I just let the royal family of the State of Xia end up like what Li Lanyi said at the new year's Eve? As the Empress, you are capable to take this position, but you can't ruin the State of Xia for your own interest."

Yun Shang's hand holding the chess piece trembled slightly, and the chess piece in her hand fell on the chessboard, making a "Ding" sound, as if it hit Yun Shang's heart.

It turned out that Xia Huanyu had already known it.
