An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1398 It's Boring

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Yes, it's indeed interesting. At the risk of their property being confiscated as well

as their whole clan being exterminated, the Cao clan hid Xia Houjing. And for the sake of his great

ambition and his grand plan, the clan also did their best to offer him help. However, he was killing the

clan for no reason. Even if the members of the Cao clan dare not say anything on the surface, they

may definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts. "

Yun Shang's eyes were full of excitement, "Besides, Xia Houjing was knocked out and taken away.

When he comes around and calms down, he will be like a normal person. No one can see anything

wrong. Even Xia Houjing himself will think that all that has happened was only caused by his anger.

The people of the Cao clan will never believe that he has done all these unintentionally. They will only

think that Xia Houjing is so impulsive that he has done the killing only because of his dispute with Cao

Jin. "

"Yes." Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang with a smile. Seeing that Yun Shang was in high spirits, his

eyes became softer. He raised his hand and gently stroked Yun Shang's hair.

Yun Shang didn't notice it at all. She rolled her eyes and said, "Now that Xia Houjing has been

exposed, will the emperor send someone to investigate his whereabouts carefully?"

"Why should we investigate his whereabouts?" Luo Qingyan smiled evilly, "he is poisoned now.

Although he may not realize it now, he will soon find something wrong inside with his intelligence. As

long as he finds something wrong, he is the one who should be anxious. Why should we waste our

strength and resources to find him?

Besides, I haven't seen enough of such a good play. It's too early to end it. It's not interesting enough in

that case."

The last sentence was the key, wasn't it?

For this, Yun Shang didn't know whether to cry or to laugh, "The most regretful thing to Xia Houjing in

his lifetime is to meet your majesty and become an enemy of yours."

After saying that, Yun Shang looked up at the faint grey and white window and hurriedly went on, "Well,

I know what happened outside. I'm relieved now. Your majesty, you'd better rest assured and go to

sleep. I have slept for a while, but now I can't fall asleep since I'm awake. I'll just lie down for a while

and wake the emperor up later. Your majesty have to deal with political affairs in the daytime. You can't

be too tired and get sick. "

Knowing what kind of person Luo Qingyan was, if she just said so, Luo Qingyan wouldn't listen to her.

She then added, "I've heard that lack of sleep is very easy to make people old."

After saying that, she paused for a while and whispered in a very low voice, "You're already 12 years

older than I. If you don't pay attention to it and don't have a good rest all day long, I'm afraid that others

will think you're my father when you go out with me in the future."

"……" Luo Qingyan squinted and smiled angrily, "Me? Am I your father? "

"Of course not. I just said that if your majesty don't take good care of yourself, others will think so."

"Who dare to think so? If anyone dares to think so, I will kill him. "

'Gee, this old man is full of self-esteem, ' Yun Shang was glad in her heart.

"All right, all right. No one dares to think so. Your majesty, you'd better go to sleep now. You've got

sunken and black-ringed eyes."

Luo Qingyan pressed his lips and turned his back to Yun Shang as if he was angry.

Staring at the broad back in front of her, Yun Shang was a little stunned. After a while, she couldn't help

smiling.

She found his majesty indeed had a temper, which made him look unexpectedly cute.

Yun Shang felt happy secretly, but she kept quiet. Soon enough, she heard the man in front of her

breathing longer and longer, as if he had fallen asleep.

After waiting for a while, Yun Shang reached out and hugged the man in front of her. Her mouth was Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

full of smile, but soon she fell asleep again.

When Yun Shang woke up again, Luo Qingyan had already left and it was already bright in the

morning.

Yun Shang stood up and listened carefully to Qian Zhuo about what happened last night.

"The spies have also investigated the brothel. Its owner's surname is Li."

"Not Cao?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows.

"His surname is not Cao, but he has something to do with the Cao clan. His sister is the wife of Cao

Jin, the dead guy. "

Yun Shang nodded. If the host's surname was Cao, it would be too obvious. It would be better to

change it to some relatives with other surnames.

"At that time, there were a lot of people present. Because of Xia Houjing's irrational behavior, he

chopped at any people near him with his sword. At that time, some guests ran away as soon as they

saw the situation was not right. Still many people present saw Xia Houjing's face and ran away. They

couldn't keep their mouths shut. The rumor thus spread that Xia Houjing had killed someone.

What's more, as things happened all of a sudden, the people in the same room with Xia Houjing also

panicked. Many of their people were seen in public. The spies are secretly investigating those people.

When I get the news, I'll report it to your majesty right away.

His majesty has gone to the court and is discussing with the courtiers in the Meeting Hall. I have got

news that his majesty has issued an imperial edict earlier in the morning and issued an arrest warrant,

stating that Xia Houjing has committed a crime of indiscriminate killing and is unforgivable. A reward of

ten thousand taels of silver will be offered for arresting him. Anyone who provides effective clues will

also be rewarded, and those who hide the wanted criminals will be killed without mercy."

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, he should be arrested."

The arrest warrant was only shown for the people in the world, for Xia Houjing's people, and for the

Cao clan. With the issuing of the arrest warrant as well as what happened last night, Xia Houjing's

members would probably panic.

"I'll ask the spies to keep an eye on it and see if there is any clue."

Yun Shang shook her head, "No need. You don't have to worry about it. We don't have enough spies,

so we don't have to waste time on Xia Houjing. Tell the spies not to pry into it deliberately and just do

what they should do."

Qian Zhuo was a little surprised. She looked at Yun Shang and found that Yun Shang didn't seem to be

joking. She thought for a while and nodded, "Yes."

Yun Shang smiled, "We don't need to worry about Xia Houjing at the moment. Just let him be. Nothing

serious can happen from him."

Qian Zhuo nodded and said, "I've also heard that his majesty announced the news of autumn hunting

in the south in the morning court and asked everyone to prepare for it carefully."

"So early?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Luo Qingyan had told her that they didn't need to

announce this to the public in a hurry and they could wait for the secret guards to explore the way first.

Had the secret guards found the way then?

Yun Shang didn't make random guess. She planned to ask Luo Qingyan about it when he came back.

Luo Qingyan didn't return to the Taiji Palace until the evening. Liu Wenan was following him, with a box

in his hand. Behind them were also two servants, who were carrying a large box.

"What's this?" Yun Shang asked in confusion, "Your Majesty went to the morning court to deal with

political affairs in the Meeting Hall. Why are you suddenly back with such two boxes of things?"

"They are what Prince Ming Yue has brought into the palace." Luo Qingyan answered casually, "Prince

Ming Yue came to the palace to say goodbye, and he also sent these things, saying that they are the

specialties from the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai."
