Chapter 690 The Emergence of Important Clues

After Luo Qingyan came back, she was a little surprised to see Shen Ke. After ordering Shen Ke to go to the kitchen to order dinner, Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at Yun Shang, "What's going on?"

Looking at him, Yunshang knew that he might have found out that the person staring at Weiyang Palace was Shen Ke, so Yunshang blinked at Luo Qingyan, and said with a smile: "Dangerous people, you have to put them in It's safe around you."

In fact, Yunshang is more aware that since Shen Ke is Xia Huanyu's person, the most she can do is to stare at her and report everything about her to Xia Huanyu without hurting her life. Under such circumstances, it is naturally best to keep it by your side. In this way, it freed up more space for Yun Shang.

Seeing Yun Shang's sly gaze, Luo Qingyan understood what Yun Shang was thinking, and sighed softly: "I originally wanted to deal with him directly, but your method is very good."

"It's been dealt with..." Yun Shang smiled, "I've thought about it too, but if we can deal with one, there will be another one, and the next one may be hidden deeper, causing unnecessary trouble , That's it, it's good."

Luo Qingyan knew that Yunshang had his own sense of proportion, so he stopped talking, walked to the soft couch and sat down, pulled Yunshang to sit beside him, stared at Yunshang and smiled, Yunshang was so laughed that all his hairs stood on end Get up, "What are you laughing at?"

"I received a letter earlier saying that Ningguo sent troops to attack Yelangguo." Luo Qingyan leaned back, put his hands under his head and looked at Yunshang with a smile.

When Yun Shang heard the words, her eyes were also stained with surprise, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. What did you lie to? Ningguo sent 400,000 people to surprise attack the northernmost city of Yelang Kingdom. Qi Mucuo, Yelang Kingdom was unprepared. Ningguo's army captured three cities in a row within four days. " Luo Qingyan's eyes flashed fiercely, "I already ordered Zhao Yingjie to entangle Cangjue Qingsu, but I didn't confront the enemy head-on. I only used harassment tactics to make him have no time to rescue. It's too late for him to regret it."

Yunshang was silent for a moment, but she was a little worried, "Although the father sent people to attack the three cities of Yelang Kingdom, as far as I know, the cities in the north of Yelang Kingdom are very poor, and they are not too big to take down." However, it will take some time for Ningguo's army to reach the imperial city of Yelangguo. Even if the resistance encountered along the way is relatively small, it will take at least three months. I am wondering whether Cangjue Qingsu will He will directly abandon those barren lands in the north, but join forces with Xia Houjing to launch a fierce attack on our Xia Kingdom. If Xia Kingdom is captured, he can also divide some cities from Xia Houjing's hands, but the cities of Xia Kingdom are bigger than Ye Those in the north of Lang Country are much richer, so for him, it is not a loss."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "I've thought about this before, but Cangjue Qingsu is a ruthless person who can't afford to suffer, but he doesn't want to trust anyone. I'm afraid he doesn't care about Xia Houjing. I completely believe it. Xia Houjing looks gentle on the surface, but his heart is also deep. Between the two, only interests can be maintained, and there is no trust at all. Such a relationship is the best to provoke."

Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment, and then said quietly: "An accident happened in the Yelang Kingdom, and it must not be a good thing for Xia Houjing. I must hope that Cangjue Qingsu can ignore it and continue to attack Xia Kingdom with him. I let The secret guards pretended to be Xia Houjing's men, and moved Cangjue Qingsu's food. Although Cangjue Qingsu knew that his best way was to conquer Xia, he would definitely be angry with Xiahoujing's behavior. Once they If there is internal strife, it is our chance."

Yun Chang nodded, smiled lightly at Luo and said, "Your Majesty's plan to sow discord is very good."

Just as he was saying this, he heard the voice of the painting outside and remembered: "Your Majesty, empress, it's time for dinner."

Yunshang and Luo Qingyan stood up together and walked to the outer hall. Shen Ke and Banxia were serving meals at the table. Yunshang raised her eyebrows, thinking that with Shen Ke's martial arts, they must have heard what they said just now. Yes, I have to remind Qianzhuo and the others to be careful next time. Once Shen Ke appears not far away, I have to find a way to tell her. Fortunately, what I just said was only about the battlefield.

Yun Chang raised her eyes and glanced around, but she always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered, "Why haven't you seen Liu Wen'an following you these few days?"

Luo Yan smiled lightly and said: "I sent him to do some errands, and he will come here in a while."

Liu Wen'an was not around, so the matter of trying the dishes fell on Peilan. After Peilan tried the dishes, Yunshang took the chopsticks from Banxia and started eating.

In the next few days, everything was as usual, but the weather became colder and colder. As soon as the winter moon arrived, Qin Yi ordered people to prepare a brazier and put it in the inner hall. I don't want to go out more and more, and stay in the inner hall all day long, dealing with affairs, reading books, teasing Bao'er, and enjoying myself.

Qianzhuo lifted the purple bead curtain that was hung up just now, walked to Yunshang's side, and lowered her voice, "Niangniang, there is news."

When Yun Shang heard the words, she habitually raised her eyes and looked outside: "Where's Shen Ke?"

Qianzhuo quickly smiled and said: "Sister Qinyi took him to the House of Internal Affairs to get the winter clothes of our Weiyang Palace servants. He just left for a while, and he will need some waiters before he can come back."

Only then did Yun Shang feel relieved, and asked softly, "What news."

"A few days ago, the dark guards went around to investigate the matter of Concubine Liu, but found that the people who served by Concubine Liu back then, even the palace servants, had dealt with them cleanly. I searched around in the surrounding villages, but found clues." Qianzhuo lowered her voice, her eyes were full of excitement, she had been worrying about this for the past few days, but all she heard was bad news , Today I suddenly got a major clue, so I am very happy.

Yun Shang also quickly answered: "But the family of Mrs. Wen survived?"

Qian Zhuo nodded quickly, "Yes, it is the husband of one of the Wen women. When their family was attacked by bandits, he was injured. Seeing the bandit's ferociousness, he simply pretended to be dead, but he escaped After a catastrophe, he was rescued by the people in the surrounding villages and saved his life. He also settled down in the village, and the child is now more than ten years old. The dark guards arrested him and interrogated him several times. He didn't want to say it this time, but the hidden guard said that he must know something."

Yun Shang squinted her eyes, but she also understood why he was like this: "I'm afraid it was because he knew something, that he knew that the tragedy that happened back then was caused by that incident, so he was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so he couldn't kill him." I would like to admit it. I want to meet that person in person, and I have a hunch that what he knows must be very surprising. Where is that person now?"

"In a small village called Qishui not far from Jincheng, the slave has ordered someone to take him back to Jincheng quietly. The empress wants to see him?" Qianzhuo widened her eyes, "But now the empress wants to see him?" I am afraid it will not be easy to leave the palace, but if that person is sent to the palace, the servants are also afraid that apart from some trouble, it would be a pity if the clues we finally found were broken."

Yun Chang nodded slightly, this is a problem, you have to find a better place.

Yun Chang lay down on the soft couch, tapped the table on the soft side, with some thought in her eyes, and after a long while, she suddenly sat up: "I thought of a place, safe, and even if I There will be no doubts if you go out of the palace."

"Your Majesty, you mean..." Qian Zhuo's eyes were full of doubts, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out where such a place was.

Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "The Duke's Mansion."

After hearing the words, she patted her legs and exclaimed in surprise: "Why didn't the servant girl think of the Duke's Mansion? Well, the servant girl will send someone to arrange it."

"As soon as possible, I really can't wait to know what kind of secret Xia Huanyu went through so much trouble and tried to hide." Yun Shang squinted her eyes, and the page in her hand was squeezed It's a little wrinkled.

Qian Zhuo agreed, and was about to go out, but remembered another matter, so she turned back and said softly: "Yes, Madam, the servant listened to Qing Hao's report. Last night, Shen Ke went out. However, Qinghao was worried that Shen Ke's martial arts would find him, so she had to follow him from a distance, and seemed to see Shen Ke meeting the same person."

Upon hearing this, Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Qian Zhuo: "Do you know that the person from the palace who met Shen Ke was?"

Qianzhuo shook his head, "Qinghao didn't dare to startle the snake, so he didn't order the hidden guards to investigate."

"Forget it, there's no need to check." Yun Shang smiled, "It's probably from the Taihe Palace. I'm afraid it's because we have been trying to tie Shen Ke back in the past few days, and he hasn't been to the Taihe Palace for a few days. He reported it to the palace, so the Supreme Emperor sent someone to inquire. However, at night, the Supreme Emperor did not dare to let Shen Ke go directly to the Supreme Harmony Palace because of the presence of the Queen Mother. How about this, you find a way to arrange for Shen Ke to be alone Go run an errand, if we are too strict, I'm afraid it will backfire."

Qianzhuo responded in a low voice, saluted again, and retreated.

Yun Chang stroked the pages of the book that had been crumpled by herself, but she was a little lost in thought. She had a premonition that she would find the most important clue about Concubine Liu, perhaps in the husband of the steady woman. Recently, she always felt that the matter of Concubine Liu might bring out a shocking secret.

It's just that she didn't know whether her premonition was true or not, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, fearing that this secret would be bad for Luo Qingyan. If it is unfavorable to Luo Qingyan, no matter how much she pays, she will deal with it. <
