Chapter 1073 Countermeasures

Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang knew nothing about what happened after they left. The two of them climbed the wall and returned to the palace in a hurry, but the palace was quiet. Yun Shang looked around and then looked up at Luo Qingyan who was holding her behind. "Something is wrong."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "We haven't returned to Weiyang Palace yet. It shouldn't be so quiet."

The two looked at each other. Yun Shang meditated for a moment and took out a flute from her sleeve, sending a message to the secret guard. For a long time, there was no response.

"I'm afraid something has happened in Weiyang Palace. Let's go to Taiji Palace first." Luo Qingyan made a decision at once.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and carefully avoided the guards who were patrolling back and forth. They arrived at the front of the hall. There were two eunuchs standing in front of the hall, who were dozing off. Yun Shang took out a small white jade bottle from her sleeve. She walked quietly to the two eunuchs, and held the bottle close to their noses. The two eunuchs then leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

Luo Qingyan pushed the door of Taiji Palace open, and the two of them quickly entered the hall.

Since Luo Qingyan was not in the Taiji Palace, there were still a few lights on in the hall, but there were no servants on duty. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan sat down on the steps in front of the dragon throne. Luo Qingyan said, "The matter of the private prison I arranged before must be able to attract the attention of Xia Huanyu. I thought he wouldn't find out it was our trip before we came back. But now the palace is so quiet. I'm afraid something has happened. I'm afraid that Xia Huanyu has seen through our plan in advance, and the secret guards at Weiyang Palace didn't respond just now. They must have been controlled by someone sent by Xia Huanyu. "

"What should we do now?" Yun Shang frowned and asked softly.

"Even if Xia Huanyu finds out that he followed the wrong person, he doesn't know where we have gone. We still have secret guards with us. Divide them into three groups. One group will go to the Weiyang Palace to inquire about the situation. One group will go out of the palace and called two or three courtiers to enter the palace, asking them to climb over the wall instead of entering from the palace gate. Another group will go to the palace gate. There are also people we have planted among the gate guards. They could tamper with the records at the palace gate and colluded with other guards to make false testimonies. " Luo Qingyan arranged carefully.

Yun Shang frowned and thought for a while. Then she nodded and said, "In this case, it proves that we haven't left the palace, so Xia Huanyu won't doubt that we went to Liu Yinfeng. But I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send someone to Weiyang Palace. Since Weiyang Palace has been controlled by Xia Huanyu, if we send our secret guards to inquire about it, they will know that we have doubts, I'm afraid it will disturb our arrangement. I have also arranged some spies in other palaces. Since what happened tonight is so serious, I'm sure they have also known it. I'll write down the name of the palace and our spies, and then ask the secret guards to look for them a

two men kowtowed repeatedly and replied. Yun Shang looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, turned around and slowly entered the Taiji Palace.

A voice came from the Taiji Palace, and someone said, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be difficult to ask the officials to offer money and food. However, there must be a lot of old clothes in their mansions. Although the clothes are old, the materials must be good. Now the weather was getting colder, but I'm afraid the people of Liucang City don't have enough clothes. We could collect those old clothes and send them to Liucang City. The old clothes will be useful for the people, and the local officials can't get any benefit from it, so they can be sent to the refugees. "

"Lord Li, it's really a good idea." Luo Qingyan said in a clear voice. The two eunuchs kneeling outside the door looked at each other, with sweat on their foreheads and horror in their eyes. Seeing Yun Shang enter the Taiji Palace, they stood up in a hurry, and one of the eunuchs rushed to Weiyang Palace.

In less than an hour, footsteps came from outside the hall. The people in the hall looked at each other, but pretended not to hear anything. They were busy discussing.

The door was pushed open. Xia Huanyu stood at the door, expressionless, but his eyes seemed to be frozen with frost and snow.

Yun Shang put down the writing brush in her hand, stood up, walked behind Luo Qingyan, and bowed to Xia Huanyu, "Father."

"His Former Majesty."

Luo Qingyan looked up at Xia Huanyu with a smile on her face, "Father came late at night. Is there anything urgent?"

Xia Huanyu glanced at the people in the hall indifferently and walked to the middle of the hall. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I'm discussing political affairs with them."

"Discuss political affairs?" Xia Huanyu sat down on a chair, but his eyes fell on Yun Shang. "Since you are discussing political affairs, why is the Empress here? Female members of the Imperial Household are not allowed to meddle with the state affairs. This is a rule set by our ancestor. Does the Empress want to break this rule? "
