An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1132 The Imperial Edict

On the second day, Luo Qingyan still didn't appear in the morning court.

On the first day, Liu Wenan used the excuse that Luo Qingyan caught a cold because of dealing with

political affairs. Then on this second day, after all the civil and military officials arrived, Liu Wenan

hurriedly announced that they would have a day off. And he left in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Master Liu has been surrounded by officials. They are still outside the Taiji Palace..."

Wang Wanzhi reported in a low voice, carefully glancing at Yun Shang's face.

She had been waiting for the Emperor in the Meeting Hall. She had heard a lot of rumors in the palace

since the Emperor disappeared in the past two days. Although she didn't know which one was true and

which one was false, it had never happened before that the Emperor hadn't shown up for two days.

She was clear that the matter was probably a little serious.

"Okay." Yun Shang nodded, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead while responding, "I knew it."

A country couldn't live without a king.

In the imperial household, many people in and out of the court were staring at that position, staring at

Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan hadn't been in the court for two days, and there was no reason for him to do Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

so today. Naturally, the civil and military officials wouldn't be easily fooled.

"Your Majesties..." Wang Wanzhi couldn't help but ask.

Yun Shang sighed, "Something happened to his majesty, but it can't be spread out. If it is spread out,

the court, in and outside, will be in chaos..."

Although Wang Wanzhi had guessed that something had happened to Luo Qingyan, she was still

shocked after hearing Yun Shang's confirmation.

Yun Shang didn't say anything. She just put down her hand that was rubbing her forehead and asked

softly, "The Vice Minister from the Ministry of works was assassinated and died yesterday. Is there any

reaction from the court?"

Wang Wanzhi shook her head and said, "Before the court, when the officials were waiting outside to

enter the palace, I occasionally heard someone talking about it. As the Deputy Minister of Revenue

was assassinated outside the palace, most people guessed that he may have made some enemies

outside. Only one or two officials sighed and said that the Deputy Minister of Revenue was a

responsible good official. Apart from these, nothing else was said on this topic.

In the morning court, because Master Liu announced that his Majesty would not go to the court today,

everyone's attention was attracted by this matter, and no one paid attention to the death of the Deputy

Minister of Revenue."

Yun Shang pursed her lips, not feeling surprised at all.

Wang Wanzhi took another look at Yun Shang and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want

someone to investigate the cause of the death of the Deputy Minister of Revenue? Yesterday, the

Deputy Minister of Revenue reported to his majesty that some craftsmen of the Ministry of Revenue

went to Liucang City, Siyang and Nanyang. He was assassinated as soon as he left the palace. I

always feel that his death is really strange. "

Yun Shang shook her head. She knew clearly why the Deputy Minister of Revenue died, and...

"Now the imperial household and the court are in a mess. I really can't pay attention to this matter. Let's

wait and see. "

Wang Wanzhi nodded without saying anything.

"During this period of time, you pay close attention to the officials in the court and see if there is

anything unusual. If you find anything wrong, just tell me in time," said Yun Shang.

"Yes, your majesty," Wang Wanzhi agreed.

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and waved her hand, "You can leave now. "

As soon as Wang Wanzhi left, Qian Zhuo came in and reported, "The servants in the palace are all

saying that something must have happened to his majesty. They said that when the ladies came to the

Weiyang Palace yesterday to pay respects to you, you didn't even change your clothes. If it weren't for

his majesty's accident, as the head of the imperial household, how could you not even have time and

mind to change your clothes?"

Then she smiled said in a low voice, "I finally know why your majesty didn't change your clothes

yesterday."

Yun Shang smiled, but replied casually, "Let them guess. Ask more people to guard the Weiyang

Palace. No matter who comes, I won't see them. Let the secret guards and guards be alert tonight. I

always feel that something will happen.

Tomorrow is my birthday. Tell them that the birthday party will be held as usual."

"Yes, your majesty." Qian Zhuo nodded.

"Send someone to have a look at the Taiji Palace again. If master Liu can get rid of himself there, ask

him to come over," Yun Shang ordered.

Qian Zhuo responded and left.

Yun Shang picked up a book and lay on the couch, reading. As more and more people stared at the

Weiyang Palace, Luo Qingyan also lay on the couch quietly.

Yun Shang was about to finish a book when she heard Liu Wenan's voice from outside, "Your

Majesty..."

Yun Shang stood up, took a bright yellow scroll from the desk, and quickly walked out of the inner hall.

Liu Wenan's face was a little red, and he was a little panting, "Most of the officials in the court are

suspicious and insist on asking to see his majesty. I can only say that his majesty has not fully

recovered before I can barely escape."

"Thank you for your hard work," Yun Shang said, and then handed the bright yellow scroll to him, "This

is the imperial edict written by his majesty. Please read it tomorrow morning in the court."

Master Liu looked at Yun Shang suspiciously, but didn't dare to show more emotions. He took the

imperial edict and unfolded it.

But when he saw it, his face changed...

"Your Majesty, this imperial edict..."

Yun Shang's eyes had been fixed on him since he unfolded the imperial edict. When he looked up at

her, she pursed her lips and said coldly, "It's the imperial edict that his Majesty gave me a long time

ago. His majesty said that if there was an emergency, Master Liu would announce it."

Liu Wenan bit his lips, lowered his head and read the imperial edict again.

After a while, Liu Wenan folded the imperial edict again and said in a low voice, "Have you ever shown

this imperial edict to His Former Majesty?"

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "At the moment, the Emperor of the State of Xia is his

majesty. As the Emperor of a country, didn't he even have the right to write a decree? Why should I

show it to His Former Majesty? "

Biting his lips, Liu Wenan didn't dare to retort. He had to say, "If I announce this imperial edict in the

morning court tomorrow, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the court. I'm worried..."

Yun Shang smiled with determination, "Don't worry, Master Liu. I will go with you tomorrow morning. If

the civil and military officials have any questions about the imperial edict, they can ask me directly. "

Liu Wenan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but at last he didn't.

Yun Shang smiled, "Master Liu, do you have any other questions?"

"No," Liu Wenan answered, lowering his eyes.

"That's good." Yun Shang smiled again. After a pause, she continued, "This imperial edict is of great

importance. Master Liu, please give it to me first. I will go to the court early tomorrow morning, and then

give it to Master Liu..."
