Although Prince Jing said it lightly, Yun Shang did not feel that the matter was really that easy to deal with. Although Yun Shang did not fully know Prince Jing's abilities, he at least understood that this God of War, who could make people all over the world change their minds, was naturally
He has the skills to match his reputation.
Such a person is trapped and injured so seriously. If that person is Cang Jue Qingsu, then his estimate of Cang Jue Qingsu should be re-calculated. If that person is not Cang Jue Qingsu,
That thing is really troublesome.
It is better to have a strong enemy on the surface than not knowing who the enemy is at all.
Looking at Yun Shang's frown, Prince Jing naturally knew what she was thinking, so he held her hand and said softly, "It's better to leave this matter to me. Since it's for me,
Naturally, I should entertain you well, but you also need to be careful recently. I am afraid that I will injure you, so I will send more people to protect you."
Yun Shang shook her head, "It doesn't matter. It's not easy to attack me in the palace. Just be careful."
Just as he was talking, he heard a knock on the door. Yun Shang stood up and opened the door. There was a woman in black standing at the door. She looked a little uncomfortable. She raised her eyes and looked at Yun Sang. Yun Shang was stunned.
Only then did he remember that he had stayed here all night yesterday. Although Prince Jing was seriously injured, unconscious and unaware of anything, it was still inappropriate, so he quickly said, "Qianyin asked you to come? You go first
Go back, I will return to the palace soon."
The woman in black shook her head, "Princess, Qianyin and Qinyi were captured by Concubine Ming."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened, "What's going on?"
The woman in black frowned slightly, "My subordinates felt that someone might be spying on the princess, and I don't know who leaked the news. Concubine Ming and Meiren Fu came to Qingxin Hall early in the morning and rushed into the inner hall without hesitation.
, when he found that the princess was not there, he said that something had happened to the princess, and called the guards to search the palace, but they could not find the princess, so Empress Dowager Ming had both Qian Yin and Qin Yi arrested on the charge of failing to protect the Lord."
"Really?" There was a bit of coldness in Yun Shang's eyes, "What do the guards of Qingxin Palace do for food, and they were allowed to break in like that?"
The woman in black was silent for a moment before saying, "There are experts among the people brought by Concubine Ming. Naturally, the guards in the palace would not dare to stop them. Our people would not dare to be exposed without the princess's orders."
Yun Shang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Ming Taifei? Could it be that Prime Minister Li is also involved? Without Prime Minister Li's acquiescence, I'm afraid Prime Minister Li and Li Fuyi would not dare to do such a thing..." Prince Jing's voice came from behind, and Yun Shang was stunned.
Knowing that although Prince Jing was injured, his skills were still there, he must have listened to what he and his subordinates said.
Yun Shang said lightly "Yes", "I will go back to the palace first. You can take good care of your injuries."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he heard a "bang" coming from the house. Yun Shang was stunned for a moment. When he walked into the hall, he saw that the medicine bowl beside the bed had been knocked over. Fortunately, it was just yesterday.
After drinking the medicine, the medicine bowl was not scattered all over the floor.
Prince Jing didn't pay attention. He raised his eyes to look at her and sighed, "What should you say if you enter the palace now?"
Yun Shang was silent for a moment and then said, "I went to ask to see my father. I told you that you were injured and I came to Prince Jing's Mansion."
Prince Jing shook his head, "No, you and I are not married. Even if you are the emperor's brother, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to stay in Prince Jing's mansion all night. By then, your reputation will be ruined."
Yun Shang frowned, "Then what should the emperor say?"
"Ming Taifei made such a fuss just because she wanted to ruin your reputation. If you are found guilty of staying out all night, I'm afraid she will have an excuse to make a fuss. Runzhe hired me as a concubine.
Although you and I have a marriage decree, we have not yet gotten married. If she continues to interfere with you, it will be difficult for you to become Princess Jing. Now, you are trying to find a way to let others know that you have not left the palace.
Moreover, there are always people around who can testify." Prince Jing said quietly.
Yun Shang nodded, "Thank you, uncle, for your advice. Chang'er understands what should be done."
The palace was very lively today. Concubine Ming was sitting on the throne. Sitting under her was Emperor Ning, who looked unhappy. In the palace were all the concubines, including those who had been sitting there.
The queens who prayed for blessings from Qiwu Palace were all invited. In the palace, several palace officials were kneeling, led by Qianyin and Qinyi.
Concubine Ming snorted and said, "You don't even know your master is missing, how can you serve him? Tell me, did anything unusual happen last night?"
Qianyin shook her head, "I don't know."
Qinyi gritted her teeth and said nothing, feeling a little annoyed. Why hasn't the princess come yet? Concubine Ming has already summoned the emperor and all the concubines in the palace. It's been so long. The one sent by Qianyin to bring the message should have been brought here.
ah.
Concubine Ming narrowed her eyes, looked at Qin Yi, and snorted, "Your name is Qin Yi, right? The Ai family remembers that when the princess went to Ningguo Temple before, you were the one who waited on her. Did you know
, where did the princess go? Think about it carefully, does the princess have anyone close to her? "
Qinyi lowered her head and said, "The princess is copying Buddhist scriptures every day in Ningguo Temple and studying with Abbot Wuna. The place where the princess lives is also in the back mountain far away from the main hall. Except for the slaves and Abbot Wuna, no one can even see her.
There are very few people, how can there be other close people?"
Concubine Ming narrowed her eyes, "What about after returning to the palace? The Ai family heard that a few days ago, the third prince of Yelang Kingdom had posted a post inviting the princess to visit the imperial city with him? When did the princess become so familiar with the third prince of Yelang Kingdom?"
Qin Yi smiled coldly, this Concubine Ming did everything possible to frame the princess, "Hey, doesn't the concubine know? The princess has already rejected the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, and the princess also said that she is
It was not convenient for the woman to come forward, but the third prince of Yelang Kingdom was a guest. It would be inappropriate to reject it rashly, so I had the post sent to Prince Jing's Mansion, and asked the prince to take the third prince of Yelang Kingdom to visit the imperial city on behalf of the princess. The slave seemed to remember,
The steward of Prince Jing’s house said that Prince Jing was not in the imperial city, so he asked the prince to do it for him.”
Concubine Ming snorted and said, "Who knows if she is just showing off, but actually she and Cang Jue Qingsu have already secretly crossed over to Chencang?"
I don’t know who looked at her and muttered, “Princess Huiguo is not Princess Huajing.”
The expressions of Concubine Ming and the Queen on the table changed, and the people below were also shocked. Concubine Ming was furious, patted the deputy of the chair, and said angrily, "Who, who is talking nonsense, stand up for the Ai family!"
No one stood up. Concubine Ming gritted her teeth and said, "Come here, pull down these slaves who don't care about their duties and beat them fifty times!"
"Yes." came the neat voice of the guard, but no one kneeling in the palace begged for mercy.
"What happened to the Imperial Concubine? I wonder what mistake the people in my palace made to make the Imperial Concubine so angry?" A clear and shallow voice came in, and the expressions of everyone in the palace were a little different. Concubine Ming and Concubine Ming were so angry.
Li Fuyi frowned, and Emperor Ning and the kneeling palace officials all sighed. The most calm one was the queen, who had always had a calm face.
Concubine Ming looked at the purple-clothed woman who walked in with a gloomy face, and cursed in her heart. Those losers had said they would not allow anyone, especially Princess Yunshang, to come in, but they still couldn't stop her.
Concubine Ming stood up and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Where did Chang'er go last night? I saw that Chang'er was not in Qingxin Palace today. The Ai family thought something had happened to Chang'er, so they searched the palace in a panic.
, and didn’t find Chang’er, so I arrested these losers, and they didn’t even know that the master was missing.”
Yun Chang smiled slightly, walked in front of Qian Yin and Yun Chang, and saluted the three people sitting on top of them, "What the concubine said is wrong. First of all, since she is a slave, as a master, I want to
Do I still need to explain to my slaves where to go? As a master, if I don’t want my slaves to follow me, how dare they follow me?”
Concubine Ming was choked by Yun Shang and glared at Yun Shang with a smile on her face, "That's not necessary, but where did Shang'er go? Just now, the Ai family turned the palace upside down.
I searched all over but couldn't find anyone, so the Ai family thought something had happened to Chang'er."
"Oh? The Dowager Queen really searched the whole palace? But why, even though Yun Shang was in the harem, she never saw anyone searching the palace. If she had seen it, she wouldn't have caused such a misunderstanding.
." Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Ming in surprise, as if she had told a lie.
Concubine Ming smiled coldly, "I wonder where the princess was last night?"
Yun Shang took out a piece of parchment from her sleeve, frowned slightly and said, "Yesterday, Yun Shang received a letter from the mother-in-law from Lai Feng Palace. The letter said that everything was fine with her and the fetus in her belly was very safe.
I'm afraid I'm going to give birth in a few days, so I said I missed Chang'er a little, and asked Chang'er if I could come to Fengxing Palace to accompany her in a few days..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Ning couldn't help but a flash of joy in his eyes, "Did Shujin write a letter to Chang'er? What did Shujin say? Let me take a look."
Yun Shang nodded and handed the parchment in her hand to Eunuch Zheng. Eunuch Zheng quickly sent the letter to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning picked it up and read it quickly before saying with a smile, "It's Shujin's handwriting.
Jin said that Mrs. Xiao had visited her and said that the child in her belly was probably a prince." Emperor Ning could not suppress a smile and satisfaction on his lips, "Calculating, Shujin's belly should be very big.
It will be summer in a few days, so I will go to Laifeng Palace to escape the summer heat and wait for Shujin's child to be born."
Concubine Ming frowned. She was obviously unhappy, but she ignored her. She turned her head and looked at Yun Shang and said, "The princess disappeared all night. What does this letter from Concubine Jin have to do with it?"
Yun Shang sighed, with a hint of sadness between her brows, "Shang'er saw the letter from his mother and concubine, and he also missed his mother and concubine very much. However, Chang'er knew that now that the envoys from both countries are here, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to come to Fengcheng.
Accompanying my mother and concubine, I felt a little sad, so I secretly went to the cold palace where my mother and concubine stayed before without telling the people in the palace."
Hearing this, Concubine Ming had a flash of hatred in her eyes. Damn it, she had been calculating all the time, but why did she miss Leng Gong? She searched the entire harem, but she never thought that Ning Yunshang would use Leng Gong as a shield.
Yun Shang's faint voice still sounded in her ears, "My mother and concubine have been staying there for more than ten years. Although I have moved out for a few months, there is still the atmosphere of my mother and concubine in the cold palace. Chang'er missed her mother and concubine, so she went there
I slept in the concubine's bed in the cold palace for one night. I woke up today and went back to the Qingxin Palace. Only then did I know that the concubine could not find me and thought Chang'er was missing. Chang'er quickly changed her clothes and came over.
The misunderstanding was huge. Chang'er knew that Chang'er should not run to the cold palace without saying a word just because she was in a bad mood. However, no one came to the Qingxin Palace, and Chang'er did not expect that the Dowager Queen would come to the Qingxin Palace early in the morning.
I care about Chang'er, Chang'er was negligent in this matter, please punish me."
On the way back, Yun Shang asked someone to investigate where the concubines of Ming Dynasty had searched today, and found out that in addition to Qiwu Palace and Qinzheng Palace where Emperor Ning was, there were also some palaces where the ministers had met before.
Only Leng Gong was left, so he thought of this method. But Yun Shang's words just now were indeed intentional. She wanted to remind Emperor Ning that Concubine Ming had never been to Qingxin Palace in such a long time.
In the Qingxin Palace, Concubine Ming came to search the palace with great fanfare, probably because she had a premeditated plan.
Sure enough, when Emperor Ning heard what Yun Shang said, he felt a little unhappy. He naturally knew that if Yun Shang couldn't tell where she had gone, then Concubine Ming would leave the palace privately.
, stayed out all night, and the label of damaging her reputation was put down. This matter was clearly done intentionally by Concubine Ming. I had just come down from court early in the morning when I heard Concubine Ming's people coming to report that Chang'er was missing. Only then
She ran over in a hurry, but she had just heard her interrogating the palace servants of Qingxin Palace and already had some guesses. When Yun Shang said this, her suspicions were confirmed.
No matter whether Yun Shang is really spending her time in the cold palace today, Concubine Ming, as the person in charge of the harem now, has made the matter obvious and called all the concubines in the harem to hear the trial. It is clear that she is
He wanted Chang'er to be ruined. He never asked about the harem, but that didn't mean he didn't know the twists and turns involved.
There is really no good person in the Li family.
Concubine Ming was still reluctant. She naturally knew where Yun Shang had gone yesterday. She was careless and forgot to search the cold palace. However, it did not mean that she would accept Yun Shang's excuse. "You don't even have a palace maid?"
You didn’t even bring it with you? What if something happens?”
Yun Shang looked at Concubine Ming with wide eyes, with some doubts in her eyes, "Concubine, this is in the palace, and the guards in the palace are naturally top-notch, so why should Chang'er be worried?
It's impossible for people to kidnap Chang'er out of the palace without a sound, right? If that's the case, then the imperial commander should die to apologize. The concubine doesn't believe in Chang'er, so she doesn't believe in the imperial commander, right?
I remember, the imperial commander is the youngest son of Prime Minister Li, so Shang'er should call him uncle."
Concubine Ming couldn't help but have unconcealable anger in her eyes, "Well done to you Ning Yunshang, well done! Really good! This time, the Aijia will let you go, and next time, the Aijia will never let you go again."
"Besides, there are people in the Leng Palace. Although the mother-in-law moved out, she only sent a sweeping girl to take care of the Leng Palace. She was the one who waited on Chang'er to rest yesterday. If the concubine doesn't believe it,
, Now you can also go to the Leng Palace and ask to see if Shang'er was really in the Leng Palace yesterday." Yun Shang lowered his head and his voice gradually dropped, as if he had been wronged.
Concubine Ming's hands clenched the armrests of the chair, but she was almost blinded by anger. She calmed down after a while, and sneered in her heart. Since she dared to say such things, she must have made arrangements.
If he continues to investigate without mercy, Emperor Ning will definitely feel dissatisfied with him. The queen has lost power, and he has finally taken power. He will definitely not be able to hand over the queen's seal. If he is also dragged down, this palace will
There is really no one who can take care of Mr. Li.
"Of course the Ai family believes that the Ai family is just worried about Chang'er. Next time, Chang'er should remember to bring the palace maid with him and give instructions to the palace attendants around him, so as not to worry others."
Yun Chang responded quickly, "Shang'er understands. Thanks to the Concubine for your concern, if there is nothing else, Chang'er will leave first."
Concubine Ming nodded and turned to look at Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning seemed to be in a trance. After a while, he said, "Let's go."
Yun Shang led everyone back to Qingxin Palace, then she took away the smile on her face and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the details in the palace haven't been cleared up yet. Qianyin, please check carefully again and make sure there are no omissions. I heard
Qian Ya said, the person brought by Concubine Ming this morning is not low in martial arts, who is he?"
Qianyin said quickly, "He is a familiar chambermaid. From what I saw, I think he must be about forty years old. I didn't dare to take a closer look. I only saw that there was a purple rope tied around the man's wrist."
Chamberlain? Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. She had never heard of such a prominent person in the palace. Qianyin followed her and often went in and out of Changchun Palace. She said she had never seen it before, so it must be someone she had never seen before. However, suddenly,
Such a person appeared, but did not attract any attention. He is indeed a capable person. I am afraid that he is not even a chamberlain...
Yun Shang paid special attention just now, and saw that the man Qianyin described was not waiting in the Changchun Palace. She smiled coldly and said, "If we catch that man, we can be a way to bite Ming Taifei back."
, but I’m afraid it’s not that easy.”
"That's it, that's the end of the matter. I'll have people check the identity of that person. But you guys should be careful in the future and don't let anyone discover that you know martial arts in the palace." Yun Shang said softly.
Qianyin responded, because Yun Shang almost got plotted today, and her expression was a little wistful.
Seeing this, Yun Shang smiled and said, "Let you atone for your sins. Later, you quietly found an opportunity to report to the Queen, saying that I actually went to see His Highness Prince Jing yesterday.
After staying in Prince Jing's residence for one night, I told him that His Highness Prince Jing was injured. His Highness Prince Jing suspected that it was Cang Jue Qingsu who did it, and that Princess Yunshang was planning to avenge Prince Jing."
"Ah?" Qianyin was stunned, "Princess, this..." frowned and looked at Yunshang with some suspicion, "Princess, are you trying to test Qianyin? Don't worry, princess, although the conditions proposed by the queen are also the same.
It's very tempting, but Qian Yin will never do anything to seek glory as a seller."
Hearing this, Yun Shang was a little dumbfounded, "Go if you are told to go, I am free to make my own plans."
Qianyin curled her lips before responding, "Yes, I obey your order, but the Queen hasn't sent a message to you for a long time. I'm afraid she is suspicious of you."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "That's why you should pass on this news. Although the queen may have known it for a long time, it's better for you to tell her than not to say anything. And you have to find a way to tell her,
You seem to be suspicious of me, but be careful not to speak too frankly."
Qianyin's eyes rolled around, then he smiled and said, "I obey, my slave." Then he stepped back with a smile.
Qin Yi then walked over, looked at Yun Shangdao with some worry, and said softly, "There has been some unrest in the palace recently, princess, it is better to be careful."
Yun Shang nodded, "I'm worrying you. Don't tell my mother and concubine about this. My mother and concubine can't stand the excitement now."
Qin Yi pondered for a moment before responding, "My slave, look at it, Qian Yin has almost quietly changed the people in our palace, but there are still people. This palace is really not peaceful, Prince Jing."
How's it going? Is the injury serious?"
Thinking of the thick gauze wrapped around Prince Jing's abdomen, Yun Shang sighed and said, "I woke up when I left, but the injury was serious. I'm afraid I have to rest for a while."
Qin Yi had a worried look on her face. Hearing this, she reluctantly nodded, "It's okay if nothing happens. Something happened to both Prince Jing and Princess. This thing seems like a serial conspiracy, and it doesn't look like it belongs to the concubines in the harem."
"Handwriting." Qin Yi looked at Yun Shang for a long time, and then said softly, "Princess, although I don't know how much power the princess has created for herself over the years, and how many talented people she has under her command. However, if you can only deal with these people in the palace,
Women, I'm not worried, but if other forces are involved, no matter how smart the princess is, she is still just a young girl, so I'm afraid..."
Yun Shang naturally knew her worries, but Yun Shang also knew that he wanted revenge, and if he wanted to completely bring down the queen and Hua Jing, he had to go against everyone in the Li family. Li was still the queen who the Li family had worked hard to win.
People in this position have absolutely no reason to give up unless absolutely necessary.
"I have my own sense of discretion, and I promise you that I won't let anyone take advantage of the loopholes in the future." She was also careless about this matter, and she would definitely not let such a thing happen again.
"Princess, princess..." Qian Yin's somewhat urgent voice came from outside. Yun Shang frowned, turned her head and looked at Qian Yin who lifted the curtain and walked in, "What's wrong?"
Qianyin walked up to Yunshang and whispered, "Princess, the Queen has fainted..." (To be continued)
