Chapter 186: Is Your Highness Lost?

Yun Xuan was immediately transferred to another palace, and the medical supervisor who came to treat her immediately confirmed that she was pregnant.

Whenever a noble woman in the palace gets married, she will be accompanied by her nanny, in order to ensure that the newlyweds successfully complete the marriage on the wedding night and to have a noble son early to continue the incense.

After Yunshu and the medical supervisor were diagnosed, they immediately asked someone to come over to the nanny in charge. On the night of the wedding, Leping and Su Mingfang were indeed a husband and wife. Su Mingfang drank too much and fulfilled the house because she was concerned about the will of the King of Chu. Yunxuan didn't want the people in the Su family to feel that they were not favored and lost face.

When Yunshu heard this news, he was worried and happy.

According to Chen Yizhi's meaning, no matter whether the child in Le Ping's belly is Mingfang or not, she must die. The difference is nothing more than to die immediately or wait for childbirth. There are too many ways to leave the mother and keep the child in the palace.

Yunshu thought about it for a long time before she decided to save Yunxuan's life. This was not only her guilt and feelings for Su Mingfang, but also her own child.

Yun Xuan was eventually demoted to a commoner, and after giving birth, she had to put her children in the palace for upbringing. As for her, she would be kicked out of the capital and could not take another step in her life.

"Your Highness, you have criticized memorials for a long time and hurt your body. I brought some midnight snacks here. Please eat some and take care of yourself."

Yun Shu heard a woman's voice, which was round and smooth and elegant. At first, she thought it was the aunt in charge who had been in the palace for a long time talking, but when she looked back, she saw that it was a young palace maid.

The palace maid looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing an ordinary high bun, and her round eyes look smart and agile, but her quiet expression makes people feel dignified and polite.

Yun Shu felt a little annoyed, and coughed a few times while pressing her chest, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes: "Qu'er, it's you?"

Qu'er is a palace maid who served Yunshu since childhood. Because she was cute, she was allowed to accompany Yunshu by the King of Chu. Two girls of similar age said that they were palace maids were actually more like playmates. However, after Fang Wanyi died of illness, Yunshu left the palace for a few years, and later left Chu because of a marriage with the Secret Kingdom.

In Yunshu's impression, Qu'er has always been an innocent, innocent little girl. She really couldn't connect that cute Qu'er like an apple with the upright and rigorous palace maid in front of her, so she was surprised.

Qu'er's eyes were filled with tears, but she still gave Yun Shu a big gift according to the palace rules: "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

"How could you serve in the Qingming Palace?" Yun Shu raised her hand to signal her to get up.

Qu'er wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled hard, "After His Highness, the princess, missed you very much. He hoped that Qu'er would always mention you, so he summoned Qu'er to Qingming Palace as the palace maid in charge."

Yun Shu's heart rippled. Thinking of her former father's figure on the city tower, she felt both moved and sad, and her eyes softened: "Thank you for your hard work."

Qu'er didn't want Yun Shu to be infected by herself when dealing with the government affairs, so she hurriedly put away her respect and feelings. She touched the tears on her cheeks with her hands, burst into tears and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't know. Now everyone in the palace calls me Aunt Qu'er, and she calls Qu'er old."

She brought the bone soup made from Chinese medicine to Yunshu and smiled and said, "When I came in, I heard Your Highness cough a few times. You should take care of your jade body. If the former king knew that you worked so hard, he would definitely feel distressed."

Yunshu picked it up and took a sip, then put the memorial on the table for the time being, thinking about another thing: "Qu'er, since you have always been dressed by your father, I want to ask you if you have something to do."

Yun Shu was full of doubts about the death of King Chu. His father was poisoned by Yun Jing and Concubine Rong and blamed Su Zizhen. The matter was almost the same, but she was still full of confusion about the detailed situation.

He hated Concubine Rong, who was guilty of being a thief, ordered the Ministry of Rites to start a major funeral on the day her father passed away. Before she could return to Chu, she was buried in a hurry, which made her not even see her father's last face.

Qu'er bent her knees: "I will definitely speak for you."

The King of Chu was not the one who let Concubine Rong make small moves on her. In addition, Yun Shu had already cleaned up Concubine Rong's power before marrying into Shu Kingdom, so she should not be able to make trouble anymore. Moreover, the safety of the Chu Palace was clearly handed over to the Imperial Guards, but secretly it was supervised and managed by the King of Chu's secret guards, and would never give anyone the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Yun Shu couldn't imagine anyone who could get up and go freely under the eyes of the secret guards, unless the person who poisoned his father was a member of the secret guards himself, but it was a bit strange to her judging from the time she returned to Chu State to take over the secret guards' forces, no one in the secret guards had any unfair intentions.

Qu'er thought about it according to Yunshu's idea. At that time, the former king found out that he was poisoned a few days before Yun Jing led his troops to besiege the Su Mansion. According to the medical institution, the former king's institution was a species of *, which would take at least two months to accumulate. This means that someone poisoned the former king without knowing it, and no one noticed it for more than two months, and it was impossible no matter how he thought about it.

Yun Shu didn't understand who else wanted to harm his father besides Concubine Rong? Was the person behind the scenes who made Chu State in a desperate situation to kill his father, or was it to help Concubine Rong push Yun Jing to the throne? In this way, hard thinking was fruitless...

"Your Highness wants to go to the king's tomb to pay condolences?" Perhaps some clues could be found, Qu'er only said the first half of the sentence, not wanting to increase Yunshu's worries any more.

Yun Shu felt a little sad, but still shook his head: "Chu's internal affairs are injustice, and I will not go if I haven't caught the mastermind of my father!"

This is a promise, a promise she had to her father and herself. After returning to Chu State, she did not go to her father's tomb to worship, nor even put the sorrow of losing her close relatives on her face, because she remembered what her father said when her mother died of illness.

After Fang Wanyi's death, the King of Chu once said: The best comfort to the deceased is not the mourning of meeting every day, but the commemoration engraved in the heart. If you hang sadness on your face, the happiest thing is your enemy. If you bury sadness in your heart, although it is a deep pain, it can make you remember your promises and debts to the deceased at all times.

She understood that the so-called debt was the debt of the father to his mother and queen, and now it was also her debt of the father. Let her repay her debt of the father after supporting Chu State.

For several days, Yunshu traveled back and forth between his bedroom and Qingming Hall, with almost no time to rest.

Yun Jing and Concubine Rong were dead. In order not to make the people speculate about their sudden death, Yun Shu announced the fact that Concubine Rong had plotted to murder the imperial court officials. He said to the outside world that Concubine Rong committed suicide because of fear of crime. Yun Jing asked to go to the Wangling to fulfill his filial piety to the deceased King of Chu, and since then he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The mutiny launched by Yunjing that Ye had subsided. There was no one else in the civil officials present that day except Chen Yizhi and Xu Di. All the imperial guards involved in the rebellion were executed. The other court officials knew what was going on, but they kept silent about the matter that day. What they were most concerned about at the moment was not the death of Yunjing and Concubine Rong, but the succession of the new king.

The ministers did not object to Yunshu's handling of government affairs, but no one thought she would become the new king. This was not only because there was no precedent for a female king to succeed to the throne in the history of Chu State, but because she was married as a wife and had a son. If nothing unexpected happened, her child would become the future prince of the country.

This relationship is really a bit messy.

Qu'er is still the grand palace maid of the Qingming Palace. She grinds Yunshu's red pen, but she dares not express her questions.

"Do you also think that the State of Chu should have a new king early?" Yun Shu knew what she was thinking without raising her eyelids.

"I dare not."

Yun Shu smiled slightly: "You have served me since childhood and don't have to be so nervous. Whenever you mention this matter, you are by my side and tell me your opinion."

It is a rule that female officials can discuss the government affairs since ancient times. When the ancient kings were there, she always adhered to her duties and always looked at and paid more attention to the government affairs, but she never commented on them.

Qu'er knew that Yunshu would not blame her for this matter, so she pondered: "Actually, I think Lord Shen is right."

She saw Yun Shu looking at her focused, her face turned red, and she coughed lightly before continuing: "Your Highness Yun Jing is naturally unforgivable. I also know that Your Highness Yun Qing has always been indifferent to the government. Even if you invite him, he may not be willing."

Yunshu was tilted on the chair and could not deny it. She also understood the reason why the country could not be without a king for a day, but she still didn't understand her feelings. Does she really want the throne of Chu and the pleasure of unifying the country?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qu'er thought she wouldn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she said, "I heard that several other countries have sent envoys to mourn the former king. What is your highness going to make arrangements?"

Yunshu said 'um': "Have the envoys' list and jade letter arrived?"

"It has arrived a long time ago, but..." Qu'er looked at Yun Shu's face hesitantly, and then said, "It's just that the Shu Kingdom said that since their king is here, there is no need to send envoys to come. Ning Kingdom is also the Ning Kingdom...come in person."

Headache is really a headache. If there are two people in this world that Yun Shu doesn't want to see at the same time, it is Ning Youqing and Feng Chaoge. Because of the marriage, they each have a thoughtful side. Moreover, the identities of the three of them have changed, and some things will involve national affairs, which is definitely not what she wants.

Yunshu looked at Qu'er for a while, then sighed deeply: "I understand."

Yun Shu was worried in his heart, but he heard footsteps outside the Qingming Palace, and vaguely heard a palace maid arguing with the guards at the door.

Qu'er frowned slightly and was about to go out to ask, but unexpectedly, as soon as the palace gate opened, the palace maid ran in quickly, and knelt down and pleaded guilty without saying a word.

Qu'er wanted to scold the palace maid for not understanding the rules, but heard the palace maid sobbing and saying, "Your Highness, I have dereliction of duty and not taken good care of my husband, and I have lost him. I am guilty, and I am guilty..."

Yun Shu finally understood it easily and was startled, and his voice also rose a little, and it suddenly became clear: "What did you say, you lost Yi'er?"
