"The Xia Kingdom is located in the south of the Ning Kingdom. It is relatively wealthy. Unlike the Yelang Kingdom, which is brave and good at fighting, most of the people in the Xia Kingdom worship literature. This is just because of the strategic location of the Xia Kingdom. It faces the sea on three sides and has towering mountains on the other side.
So the past few hundred years have been very peaceful. The Seventh Prince, the seventh son of the current Emperor of Xia, is the most talented among the sons of the Emperor of Xia. He was crowned king at the age of seven, but gave birth to a son when he was twelve.
He suffered a serious illness, and he has not been in good health since then. The Emperor of Xia gradually neglected him, and the year before last he made the empress's ninth prince the crown prince."
Qianyin stood in front of Yun Shang with a roll of parchment and read softly. After reading, she put away the parchment and said softly, "The seventh prince rarely appears in front of people because of his poor health. Regarding him,
There is also very little information, and what we can find is almost known to many people, and the others may take more time."
Yun Shang nodded and took the parchment over, "That's good. Let's continue asking."
Qianyin nodded and then said with some curiosity, "Princess, I have seen the seventh prince from a distance several times in the past two days. I saw that he was a chronically ill man. He would be out of breath for a long time after saying a few words. This way
people..."
"Oh? Such a person is not a threat at all?" Yun Shang raised his eyebrows. His own girl, Yun Shang naturally knew what Qian Yin was thinking, "When I first returned to the palace, I'm afraid the Queen and Hua Jing were also like this.
You see, I have stayed in a place like Ningguo Temple for seven or eight years. I don’t understand the twists and turns in the palace. I am not in good health. I have to cough for a long time when I talk. They despised me and gave me a chance.
You have to understand that in the royal family, the one who stands out is always the one who gets the most criticism. Those who know how to hide their abilities and bide their time are the truly smart ones."
Hearing this, Qianyin understood a lot in her heart and quickly responded, "This slave has taken it lightly."
Yun Shang nodded, and then saw Qin Yi walking in with a strange look on her face. She handed Yun Shang a note and said, "Princess, this is the invitation sent by Cang Jue Qingsu to the princess. He said that he came to Ningguo for the first time and wanted to
Invite the princess to be your guide and travel with you to the Imperial City of Ningguo."
The corner of Yun Shang's mouth twitched slightly. What on earth did Cangjue Qingsu have in mind? To travel to the imperial city together? To be a guide?
Qin Yi was a little worried, "Now that the princess has an engagement, she can't go to the appointment no matter what. However, Cangjue Qingsu is a guest after all, how should she respond?"
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, with a mischievous light flashing in his eyes, "Send the post to Prince Jing's Mansion and tell him that Cang Jue Qingsu invited me to be his guide to tour the imperial city. There are differences between men and women, so it is inconvenient for me. Prince Jing
Since he is the fiancé of this princess, I will let him do the work for me."
When Qin Yi heard this, a smile flashed across her lips, she nodded and said, "I understand, this slave."
Yun Shang turned to Qianyin again and said, "How are Princess Huajing and the Queen doing these past two days?"
Qianyin chuckled and said, "Princess, Princess Huajing has been staying in the princess's mansion to recuperate these past two days. However, the princess's mansion has been very lively these past two days. Every night, at least two groups of people go to the princess's mansion to check, including the queen.
Yes, from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, from Cangjue Qingsu’s side, and of course from us, and even the Seventh Prince of Xia Kingdom seems to have sent people there.”
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Just don't let her die. It's still useful to keep her."
Qianyin nodded and heard a voice coming from outside, "Princess, Miss Wang from the Minister of War's family wants to see you."
"Wang Jinyan?" Yun Shang stood up. She actually liked that cheerful woman a little bit. Yun Shang smiled and walked out of the inner hall, and saw Wang Jinyan standing at the door. As soon as she saw Yun Shang, she walked away with a smile.
Coming in, laughter was full of joy, "What is the princess doing? Yan'er didn't disturb the princess, right?"
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glared at Wang Jinyan with a smile, "I've already disturbed you. Tell me how you should be punished."
When Wang Jinyan saw what Yun Shang said, she didn't feel any guilt at all. She said with a bit of slyness in her eyes, "Princess, you must not be angry with Yan'er. Yan'er is now a soldier under Prince Jing. If the princess follows
The prince said, if the prince doesn’t let Yan’er go to the battlefield, Yan’er will cry to death.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her hand as if to hit Wang Jinyan, "You dare to make fun of me, I'm looking for a beating."
The two of them laughed together, and after a long while, Yun Shang said, "Why did you enter the palace?"
Wang Jinyan said with a smile, "My father came to the palace to see the emperor for something. Yan'er and the princess hit it off immediately, but the princess seemed to have forgotten Yan'er and never left the palace, so Yan'er had to secretly have someone give it to me.
The jade plaque has entered the palace."
Yun Shang shook his head, "I don't dare to go out of the palace to see you. You see, I'm still in the palace. All I know is making fun of me. If I go out, you may not know how to bully me."
"Princess, your crime is a bit serious. How dare Yan'er? Oh, when will we be able to fight? It's really boring to stay in this imperial city." Wang Jinyan sighed, looking a little sad.
Yun Shang laughed, "How can you be like this? You think about fighting all day long."
Wang Jinyan chuckled, leaned into Yun Shang's ear and said, "Actually, it was Prince Jing who asked Yan'er to enter the palace. The princess stayed in the harem. The prince was a foreign minister, so there was no way to enter the palace often. Yan'er was accompanied by him before
My cousin went to buy jewelry. On the way, she met Prince Jing who seemed to be leaving the city. Prince Jing asked Yan'er to come into the palace to accompany the princess. By the way, he asked Yan'er to tell the princess that he had something to do and needed to leave the imperial city for three to five days, so you can
Be careful and let you think more about him."
Yun Shang was a little dumbfounded, "You must have added this last sentence yourself. That day, when I saw your heroic spirit and your womanly appearance, I felt that you must be a woman different from other ladies.
I thought about making friends with you, but I didn't expect that you are as gossipy as them. Alas, I don't know people well..." Yun Shang pretended to be unhappy and sighed, but she was thinking in her heart that now Xia Guo and Ye
The envoys of Lang State are all in the imperial city. What is King Jing doing out of the city?
Then he suddenly remembered that he had just asked Qin Yi to send Cang Jue Qingsu's post inviting her to travel to the imperial city to Prince Jing's Mansion, and he frowned again.
"You said you didn't want to, but look at your brows that could kill a fly..." Wang Jinyan burst out laughing when she saw Yun Shang's distressed look.
Yun Shang glanced at her and then told her what Cang Jue Qingsu had posted to her. Wang Jinyan looked more serious after hearing this, "That Cang Jue Qingsu is not a good person at first glance. He is exuding...
There is a cold smell, I am afraid that the person who comes here is not good. I heard from my brother that he is here for Princess Hua Jing. Could it be that something like that happened to Princess Hua Jing and he despised it? But no matter what, the princess is sure
You can’t go, so how about this, princess, I go home and tell my brother and let him help you solve it?"
Wang Jinhuan? Yun Shang pondered for a moment, but it wasn't impossible. Wang Jinhuan had always been close to Prince Jing. If he said that Prince Jing asked him to go, I'm afraid everyone would believe it, "Then I'll bother Mr. Wang, but,
Let your brother go under the banner of Prince Jing, and by the way, tell your brother that if this matter goes well, I will help him arrange a dinner with Miss Qianqian?"
"Miss Qianqian? She is the oiran who has become very popular in the imperial city in the past two years. The princess knows her? Yan'er also really wants to make friends. Yan'er has heard many people say that that woman is really as beautiful as a fairy...
..." Wang Jinyan's eyes lit up.
Yun Shang smiled and patted her hand, "You look like this. If I didn't know you were a woman, I would have thought you were in love with Miss Qian Qian."
The two talked for a while, and then Wang Jinyan left the palace with a smile. Qinyi stood next to Yunshang and looked at the palace door, smiling and said, "This Miss Wang has a very straight temper. It would be a shame if the princess made friends with her."
Not bad, and the Minister of War is in charge of the deployment of most of the Ningguo army and the appointment of officials, which is also very beneficial to the princess."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded and said, "Qin Yi is pretty much the same as I am thinking. The Minister of the Ministry of War is a man who cares about his family. He has only married one wife and has never taken a concubine. He respects and loves his first wife very much, and he loves his first wife very much."
The two children are also loved very much. Such a person is very admirable."
Envoys from the two countries in the imperial city came to visit. Yun Shang knew their purpose, so he hid far away. For several days, he did not even leave the Qingxin Palace, and Cangjue Qingsu never sent another message. Qianyin
Said that Ricangjue Qingsu was waiting at the palace gate with great interest, but when the prince came, his expression was very bad. Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, but she couldn't help but sneered in her heart.
, these days, Yun Shang has been thinking about what Cangjue Qingsu's plan is. Ning Qian and the others have been monitoring the princess mansion. Cangjue Qingsu not only sent people to see Hua Jing, but also went there himself.
He asked Hua Jing twice, and seemed to comfort Hua Jing by saying that he would ask Emperor Ning to marry him when the situation calmed down a bit.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. While comforting Hua Jing, did she want to seduce herself? I'm afraid Prince Jing's outing was also calculated by him. Otherwise, it couldn't be such a coincidence. Prince Jing had just left the imperial city. His post
So I sent it over, and it turned out to be a good calculation.
"Princess, it's time to turn on the lamp. Princess, please freshen up and get familiar with yourself before getting ready for rest." Qin Yi walked in and helped Yun Shang take off the hairpin with a slight smile.
Yun Shang nodded and entered the clean room. It has been seven days. It has been seven days since King Jing left the imperial city. She doesn’t know what happened. But that day, Wang Jinyan said it was three or five days. Now seven days have not passed yet.
Well, I'm afraid things are a little tricky.
Yun Shang was soaking in the bathtub, thinking about what happened in the imperial city in the past few days. Cang Jue Qingsu was restless. He had quietly visited many ministers of the Ning Kingdom. Among them, the one that caught Yun Shang's attention the most was Shun.
Ning Ye, the prince of Prince Qing's Mansion. Yun Shang remembered that both Ning Qian and Prince Jing were suspicious of Ning Ye, but nothing was found out except that Ning Ye hid that he knew martial arts. An idle prince.
The dandy son was allowed to meet with Cangjue Qingsu three times in private, which was really an eyesore.
There was not much movement about the seventh prince of the Xia Kingdom. He stayed in the post house every day. Except for the doctor, no one came to the door and he was never seen coming out.
Prime Minister's Mansion... Yun Shang frowned. After returning to the palace that day, although Emperor Ning did not issue an order, the queen hardly showed up. She stayed behind closed doors in Qiwu Palace every day, and the concubines in the harem every day
There was no need for greetings, and Hua Jing stayed in the Princess Mansion to recuperate. However, after these things happened, there seemed to be nothing unusual in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with them.
Yun Shang thought about these things in her mind, frowned, stood up, wiped off the water stains on her body, put on her middle coat, and walked out of the clean room. Qin Yi quickly brought a white handkerchief to help Yun Shang wrap her wet hair
Get up and wipe it carefully.
The window was suddenly knocked open, and a red figure came in. Yun Shang was startled, and pulled Qin Yi to move away from a distance, looking at the red figure coldly. When the man raised his head, Yun Shang realized that,
It turned out to be Wang Jinhuan.
Yun Shang frowned and said with some displeasure, "Young Master Wang, this is the palace, my princess' sleeping quarters. Isn't it a place where you can come whenever you want?"
Wang Jinhuan seemed a little anxious and kept panting. After a while, he said, "Princess, the prince is injured."
Yun Shang was stunned, and naturally knew that the prince Wang Jinhuan was talking about was Prince Jing. She felt uneasy in her heart, and without caring about anything else, she frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Wang Jinhuan tried his best to escape the guards in the palace and broke in, still out of breath. "Your Majesty went out of the imperial city to do business a few days ago. It was originally promised to be five days at most, but I haven't come back after five days.
I was a little worried, so I went to look for him. As soon as I left the city, I saw the guards escorting him back, but he was seriously injured and is still unconscious."
Yun Shang was shocked. Of course she knew Prince Jing's martial arts. Who could hurt Prince Jing so seriously? Qin Yi had already taken Yun Shang's coat and put it on. Yun Shang didn't care that her hair was still disheveled.
Then, he quickly pulled Wang Jinhuan and quietly left the palace, heading straight for Prince Jing's Mansion.
When they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Yun Chang was taken to Prince Jing's house by Wang Jinhuan. There were several people standing in Prince Jing's house, including the housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion, Wang Shun, and several people whom Yun Chang had never seen before.
"How is the prince?" Wang Jinhuan asked quickly as soon as he stepped into the house.
Wang Shun's face was sullen, and he said after a while, "I just went to see the doctor. Although the injury looked a bit serious, it didn't hurt the vital part. There should be nothing wrong." After saying that, he saw Yun Shang standing beside him and was stunned.
, then added, "It's just that the prince was injured but did not receive timely treatment, so he became a little inflamed. I'm afraid he will still have a fever later."
Yun Shang stepped forward and wanted to lift the quilt to see Prince Jing's injury, but was stopped. Yun Shang raised her head and saw a cold-faced young man looking at her with a frown. Wang Jinhuan said quickly, "
Leng Jun, this is Princess Yunshang and the future Princess Jing, please do not be rude."
The young man named Leng Jun was stunned, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he stepped aside. Yun Shang lifted the quilt and saw that Prince Jing's abdomen was tied with a thick layer of gauze. Yun Shang was wrinkled.
Frowning, this position is quite dangerous.
Wang Jinhuan looked at Yun Shang's expression, coughed lightly and said, "Something has happened to the prince. This news cannot be spread out to avoid any trouble. Let's wait until the prince wakes up to discuss everything in a long term. Let's go to the study to discuss the matter first.
The prince has been away from the imperial city for so many days, and there are many people who are ready to take action. Let's discuss how to deal with it now." After saying that, he turned to look at Yun Shang and said, "We, the great gentlemen, are taking care of people.
It is difficult to do this. There is not even a maid in Prince Jing's palace. Prince Jing and the princess have already been married. It is inappropriate to ask others to take care of her. Princess, I will leave it to you here.
Here you go, there are attendants outside, the princess can give you any orders."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows but said nothing. Wang Jinhuan took it as her answer and led everyone out of the room.
Yun Shang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the person lying on the bed. Perhaps due to the injury and fever, his face was slightly red, but his brows were furrowed tightly. He looked different from the indifferent look he usually saw.
Similarly, Yun Shang had never seen Prince Jing like this before, and sighed silently in his heart. It was really hard to get used to such a weak Prince Jing.
Yun Shang stretched out her hand to test the temperature of his forehead, and then touched her own forehead. It was indeed a little hot. Yun Shang sighed and walked to the door, only to see two attendants standing at the door, "Go and help me wash the basin."
Bring the hot water."
The attendant nodded, and after a while, he brought a basin of hot water. Yun Shang twisted up the handkerchief, put it on Prince Jing's forehead and applied it. When the handkerchief became cold, he changed it again and fiddled with it for a long time.
At night, the heat subsided, and Yun Shang felt relieved and fell asleep leaning against the bed.
Early the next morning, the person on the bed opened his eyes, and his eyes moved. When he turned to the woman beside the bed, his eyes brightened slightly, and he frowned again when he saw that she didn't seem to be sleeping very peacefully.
, wanted to sit up, but pulled the wound on his abdomen and fell down on the bed.
This movement woke up the woman beside the bed. Yun Shang opened her eyes and saw Prince Jing covering the wound on his face with a slight frown. Only then did Yun Shang realize what happened yesterday and stood up.
He came and said, "What's wrong? But it's a wound? I'll call the doctor to take a look." After saying that, he started to walk out the door.
However, someone grabbed her hand. Yun Shang was stunned and turned her head to look at the person on the bed.
Prince Jing shook his head, "It's okay, why are you here? You took care of me all night yesterday?" His voice was hoarse, and Prince Jing couldn't help but be startled.
Yun Shang sat down again and tried to pull out the hand held by Prince Jing, but failed. Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, thinking about the injuries on Prince Jing's body, but did not force it, "Yesterday, a prince broke into my
In my bedroom, I said you were injured, so I came over to see how you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"
Prince Jing nodded, "There is a guest room next to my room. I see that you haven't had a good rest. You can go there and sleep for a while."
"I'm not very sleepy. Where have you been these days? Why did you come back so injured?" Yun Shang helped Prince Jing tuck the quilt. Prince Jing was stunned, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Someone wants to lure me out of the imperial city. I have a small group of hidden forces in a nearby city, but I don't know how they were discovered. A few days ago, someone gave me a pot. I went to deal with it, but I was
People are trapped." Prince Jing sighed, "I was careless."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "You just left the Imperial City, and before I received the news, Cangjue Qingsu left me a message, inviting me to be a guide and take him around the Imperial City. This matter has something to do with him.
?”
"Oh?" A dangerous dark light flashed in Prince Jing's eyes, "Whether he did it or not, I'm afraid he also knows something about the inside story. He must be getting comfortable in the imperial city, and soon he will be too busy to take care of himself.
I want to see how he can scheme against others..." (To be continued)
