An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1332 It Was Won By His Majesty

"What clues?" Yun Shang asked immediately.

"Rumor has it that his majesty was assassinated by the lake just now..."

Yun Shang's eyes were full of doubts. The rumor was completely within their expectations. It was not a

clue.

While she was thinking, the secret guard continued, "And his majesty took a woman with him then. The

two looked very close, but the woman was not the current empress."

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other and frowned.

The secret guards did mention that the fake Luo Qingyan was at a lantern stall with a woman when he

was assassinated.

But at that time, they were attracted by the news that the fake Luo Qingyan was assassinated, so they

didn't notice the woman at all. They only subconsciously thought that since someone had disguised as

Luo Qingyan, then the woman beside Luo Qingyan must have disguised as Yun Shang.

When Yun Shang heard the news, she was at a loss. Soon she realized that what they had expected

was probably wrong.

"Someone said firmly that he had met the woman beside his majesty. She was the princess of the State

of Youyue who came to our State of Xia recently. He also said that the envoys of the State of Youyue

and the State of Yihai brought the princesses here for political marriage. It seemed that the emperor

had a crush on the princess of the State of Youyue and she might become a lady in the imperial

household of the State of Xia soon. "

"As soon as this rumor came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people. They

said that they thought the emperor would only have the empress in his harem and that the emperor

was very affectionate, but now it seemed that it was just because the emperor had not met someone

he liked."

"Someone also said that the current empress was the princess of the State of Ning. If the princess of

the State of Youyue became a concubine of the emperor, the two ladies in the imperial household will

both be foreign princesses."

"They said now that everyone knew that his majesty and the princess of the State of Youyue were

going shopping together, which was detrimental to the reputation of the princess. So his majesty should

soon take her back to the palace."

Yun Shang pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "In case they would make trouble in the palace, I've tried

every means to prevent them from entering the palace. I even drugged them with purgatives, which is

not a very bright way to keep them in the post house. But I didn't expect that they could also find a way Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

even they can't enter the palace. "

"What a surprise!"

Yun Shang's eyes were full of anger. If they didn't go out of the palace today and didn't know about it,

tomorrow the rumor would have already been known to everyone in the city. At that time, no matter

how they explained, they couldn't convince the public.

At that time, they would be in a dilemma. If they didn't take the princess back to the palace, the State of

Youyue could use it as an excuse to attack the State of Xia.

At that time, the reputation of Luo Qingyan would be greatly damaged. People would say that as the

emperor of a country, Luo Qingyan didn't even have the courage to take the responsibility.

If they were forced by rumors to return to take the princess back to the palace, the enemy's wish would

be fulfilled.

No matter what choice they made, they would suffer losses.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and said with a smile, "don't worry. We are here now. We should

know about it as soon as possible and know what they are planning. Then we have a way to deal with

it."

Yun Shang nodded. Even if they were not here, she would still definitely not let the schemes of the

State of Youyue and the State of Yihai succeed.

Luo Qingyan didn't know what Yun Shang was thinking. He turned around and asked the secret guard,

"When will Liu Wenan come with the honor guards?"

"Master Liu should be out of the palace now."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Inform the governor of the Jin City to gather soldiers to lead the way."

"Send another eight hundred city guards to escort me and her majesty."

"Yes."

After Luo Qingyan gave the order, he turned around and saw Yun Shang staring at him. He smiled and

said, "Since the rumor is spreading, we have to make it grand so that we can resist it."

"What's more, there are many people in the city today, mixed up with good and bad. It's safer to have

more guards."

Yun Shang nodded and said nothing.

About an hour later, they heard a noise downstairs.

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the window, only to see the surging crowd on the street below.

There was a faint voice of discussion, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you walking that

way? "

"Some officers and soldiers are clearing the street. They said that the empress and the empress had

gone out of the palace to visit the lantern show in the city and someone came to pick her up."

"Really? Did the emperor and the empress come to see the lantern show? Where are they? "

"Who knows? It's really a great honor that we've watched the same lantern show with the emperor and

the empress. "

The crowd kept rushing to the other end of the street.

Soon, some officers and soldiers trotted to block the crowd on both sides of the street.

The soldiers stopped at the entrance of the tavern.

"Why did they stop there?"

"I heard that the emperor and the empress are in this restaurant."

"Really? But we haven't seen them go in."

"It's said that it's a secret visit. How could they let everyone know it?"

"You are right."

The crowd that had just rushed out of the street squeezed again, all sticking their heads out and

looking at them.

The soldiers held long spears in their hands and stopped the people.

After a while, Liu Wenan came with the honor guards.

"Here they are." Yun Shang whispered.

Luo Qingyan nodded, "no hurry."

The honor guards stopped at the foot of the tavern. Liu Wenan walked quickly into the tavern with

some servants.

Yun Shang turned around and sat down at the table. Soon there was a knock on the door.

The secret guard opened the door. Liu Wenan left the other servants at the door and entered the room

with a bow.

"Your majesties, the honor guards are ready."

Luo Qingyan nodded and stretched out his hand to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang smiled, picked up the river lamp on the table, and took Luo Qingyan's hand to go

downstairs.

Everyone in the tavern craned their necks and looked at them.

Whispers could be heard from time to time.

"Is that them? Oh my God! I saw them come in earlier. I was thinking that the two of them were both

very outstanding. I didn't expect that they were the emperor and the empress. "

"I came in just behind them."

"I heard that the emperor and the empress love each other very much. It's true."

"Is it a lantern in the hand of the empress? It looks very exquisite. I'm wondering where they bought it. I

want to buy one... "

Hearing it, Yun Shang smiled and turned to look at the speaker.

It was a young woman. When Yun Shang looked at her, she realized that Yun Shang had heard what

she said. She shrank her neck in a hurry.

Yun Shang smiled and raised the river lamp in her hand. "We got the lamp beside the lake, but we

didn't buy it. It's the lamp king. It was won by his majesty by guessing all the riddles."
