An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1236 What On Earth She Wanted To Do

The way Steward Wang poisoned was very secret. Although the Imperial Library had rarely sent

pamphlets, they did occasionally. She might had already tried to poison Yun Shang, but Yun Shang

was immune to poisons, so she did not succeed.

Since he didn't succeed in drugging Yun Shang, Steward Wang chose to take actions against Hua Ling

when Yun Shang left the palace and handed over all the household affairs to her.

It could be seen that Steward Wang must have her own purpose. But what she wanted was not the life

of Yun Shang or Hua Ling. What she wanted was only that the person in charge of the household

affairs was poisoned.

"Your Majesty?" Pei Lan asked in a low voice.

Yun Shang suddenly came to her senses, shook her head and continued to walk towards the Taihe

Palace.

"How did His Majesty and His Former Majesty deal with it after they knew the pamphlet was from the

Imperial Library?"

"The steward was taken away and imprisoned. She should have been interrogated later, but we don't

know how she had been dealt with in the end. Since Your Majesty is not in the palace, we can only pry

into information in private. But we don't know much about the specific situation. "

Yun Shang frowned slightly. The evidence was clear. The crime of poisoning Her Former Majesty could

be convicted. The murderer should be dealt with in public. However, neither Pei Lan nor Hua'er had

heard anything of it, and they didn't know what the final result of Steward Wang was. It was a little

strange.

There must be something wrong.

Soon they arrived at the gate of the Taihe Palace. The palace was heavily guarded, and there were

four guards standing at the gate.

"Her Majesy is coming. Go in and inform His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty."

The guard answered, and one of them turned around and entered the door quickly.

After a short while, he came out in a hurry and opened the door. "Please come in, Your Majesty."

The servants took Yun Shang directly to the inner hall.

As soon as she reached the door of the inner hall, she heard someone talking inside.

"Look, it's said that there is a water demon in Qi'an city. The upper part of its body is a beauty, and the

lower part is a fish. I remember that you have been there before. Have you ever seen it?" It was Hua

Ling's voice.

"There is almost no truth in this kind of books. How can you believe it?" Xia Huanyu replied in a tone

Yun Shang had never heard of. He was gentle, but somewhat helpless.

"Not necessarily. I have heard many rumors about this kind of water demon before. I always feel that

there is no wind without waves. Maybe, it is true."

With a chuckle, Xia Huanyu said, "Okay. If you think so, let's go to Qi'an City to have a look after this

summer. You can check it yourself whether it is true or not. "

"Okay."

"Her Majesty is here." The maid walking in front of Yun Shang reported in a low voice.

"Come in."

Yun Shang went into the palace, bowed and got up. She saw Hua Ling half lying on the couch, covered

with a blanket, with a book in her hand and a smile on her face. Xia Huanyu sat on the chair beside her,

and there was a chess table in front of him. He was playing chess by himself, with a chess piece in his

hand.

Seeing Yun Shang come in, Hua Ling smiled and asked her to sit down. Then she asked softly, "I heard

that you went back to the palace yesterday, but His Majesty carried you out of the carriage and then

called the imperial physician. Is there anything wrong with you?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yun Shang shook her head and said, "I was outside all the time. I was so nervous that I didn't dare to

sleep. I suddenly relaxed and fell asleep."

"That's good. But it has been a few days since the accident happened in the Dangnan Mountain, hasn't

it? You had't slept for such a long time? "

"In that case, it was better to keep sober."

Xia Huanyu, who had been silent all the time, looked up at Yun Shang and said, "You are quite cruel to

yourself."

Without waiting for Yun Shang's response, he said, "I was worrying that no one would play chess with

me. Come here. Let's play chess."

Yun Shang smiled, stood up, walked to the opposite of Xia Huanyu and sat down.

Xia Huanyu had already picked up the chess pieces he had put on the chessboard. As soon as Yun

Shang sat down, he pushed the white chess pieces in front of Yun Shang and said, "you go first."

Yun Shang replied, and put a piece on the table.

Xia Huanyu followed her closely and said to Yun Shang, "I've heard of what happened in theDangnan

Mountain, but I don't know much about it. I only heard that the whole mountain, nearly two or three

miles away, was cut off by the sand and soil rolling down. Were you really on the hillside at that time?

And how did you escape? "

Yun Shang looked at the chessboard and told Xia Huanyu what had happened.

Xia Huanyu looked up at Yun Shang and nodded, "You've impressed me again. No wonder you can

make it to this day. Even I might not be able to react so quickly and survive unharmed in that situation. "

Yun Shang smiled, "Father, you don't have to belittle yourself. In fact, I would have never expected my

reaction to such a situation. But when it happened, there was no way to think too much. The desire to

live was above everything and I just made the decision subconsciously. "

Xia Huanyu smiled, "What happened later? Why did you disappear after you escaped that disaster? "

Yun Shang didn't reduce the speed of placing her pieces at all. "I didn't expect that I would get into

trouble just after I escaped. As soon as I got out of danger, I was taken away again. Then I tried every

means to contact the secret guards and escaped secretly. "

Yun Shang said indifferently, but Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling could imagine how thrilling it was from

these few words.

Yun Shang didn't intend to explain it in detail. She looked up at Hua Ling and said, "I heard something

about the palace on the way here just now. I'm wondering how father and mother dealt with Steward

Wang. What did you get from the interrogation? "

Hua Ling and Xia Huanyu looked at each other. After Xia Huanyu placed a piece, he asked casually,

"Do you know why Steward Wang poisoned?"

Yun Shang hesitated for a moment and said, "I guessed it just now. The way she poisoned was very

secret. She had handed some pamphlets before, and I guessed that she must have poisoned me too.

But I was immune to poisons, so she failed."

"This time, I left the palace and entrusted mother with the Imperial Household affairs. Then she

poisoned her. I guess she poisoned not to kill me or my mother, but to put the people who was in

charge of the Imperial Household affairs in trouble and unable to deal with the affairs, so she could take

action. "

"But I don't know what on earth she wanted to do."
