Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three

However, there was no response from anyone outside for a long time. Yun Shang was startled and secretly took off the hairpin from her head and hid it in her sleeve. With a wink, Qian Yin pushed the door open.

Qianyin suddenly pushed the door open, and Yun Shang looked out and saw a man in his forties wearing dark gray clothes standing slightly bent over in front of the car, with several women dressed as maids standing behind him.

Yun Shang frowned, "I wonder what you want to do by bringing this princess here?"

The man lowered his head and said in a calm voice, "Return to this young lady, the old slave doesn't know anything. It's just that the master told the old slave that he must serve the young lady well. He also asked the young lady to get out of the car and go in with the old slave."

Let’s go to the mansion.”

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, bent her waist, and was about to get out of the car, but was held back by Qin Yi. Yun Shang turned back to look at Qin Yi. Although Qin Yi's face was a little pale, her eyes were very calm, "Princess

, let the slave get off the bus first, and then serve the princess to get off the bus."

Yun Shang knew that she was worried about him, and her heart suddenly warmed up. Qin Yi didn't know any martial arts, but he protected her regardless of her, teaching her how not to be moved.

"It doesn't matter, I'll be fine." Yun Shang said with a slight smile, turned around and got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, Yun Shang saw that there were dense woods all around. There was only such a small courtyard in the dense forest. It looked extremely quiet, but it made Yun Shang's heart sink. In this way, it was almost impossible to be sure.

Where is he now?

However, it was only for a moment. After a while, Yun Shang jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the yard in front of him. There was nothing special. There was not even a plaque in front of the yard. The owner must be careful.

, not wanting to leave any clues, but such carefulness made Yun Shang extremely unhappy.

"Miss, come into the house." The man bent down and made an invitation gesture towards Yun Shang.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, raised her feet and walked towards the yard, "What should I call this person...?"

The man smiled and said, "My surname is Zhao. Just call me Butler Zhao. The next few girls are Chunhong, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei. If you have anything to do, miss, just tell them."

That’s it, the two girls brought by the young lady must also be distinguished, so let these four girls do the rough work.”

Yun Shang smiled coldly, "In that case, I would like to thank Butler Zhao." Zhao, even this surname is mostly made up of nonsense, Zhao Qian Sun Li is the first among hundreds of surnames, and is thrown around casually on the street.

Once caught, there are many people with this surname.

The courtyard was a small courtyard with four entrances, and there was no scenery to enjoy. When Yun Shang walked into the room, she was stunned again. The layout in this room was actually the same as that in Qingxin Palace, almost exactly the same.

It's just that the furnishings in his palace are all tributes given by the emperor, but the ones here are all imitations that look very realistic.

"Princess..." Qinyi and Qianyin were both startled, and even more worried in their hearts. There were many guards and secret guards around Yun Shang, and they were able to rob her quietly, so they

It was a powerful feeling, and with the layout of the room, Yun Shang knew that there must be a traitor around her.

Yun Shang smiled coldly and sat down on the chair. She looked at the four maids and Butler Zhao who had followed her in. She smiled and said, "Your master has troubled himself. Please go back and report to me. I am sorry for you."

I am very satisfied with my master’s arrangements, but I feel sorry for your master’s troubles with food and drink, so I also invite your master to come and meet me, so that I can thank him in person.”

Butler Zhao nodded slightly, "I'll naturally bring you what the young lady said. I'm afraid that the young lady has been tired all day in Prince Jing's Mansion today. Please take a rest early." After saying that, he bowed,

Withdrew.

However, the four maids did not follow the housekeeper out, so Yun Shang knew that they were probably kept to monitor her. Yun Shang frowned and said, "I'm tired, go get some water. I want some water."

Purify yourself.”

One of the maids nodded and retreated. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the remaining three maids. Without saying anything, she walked straight into the inner room. The inner room was indeed just like the Qingxin Palace. Yun Shang was on the soft couch.

Lie down and settle down as soon as you come. Since you have gone to great lengths to tie yourself up, there is absolutely no reason to just let it hang out like this. No matter what, it is like this now. It is better to wait patiently. I have not returned to the palace. The palace

You will definitely get the news.

Just as he was thinking about it, the maid who had left earlier came in carrying two large buckets of water. Yun Shang saw that she was petite, but she was carrying two large buckets of water without even taking a breath, and her steps were vigorous, so she knew that she must have practiced martial arts.

of.

"Miss, the water is ready." The maid came out and said softly with her head slightly lowered.

Yun Shang nodded, "Qian Yin, come in and take care of this princess to take a bath." After saying that, she walked into the clean room.

Qianyin hurriedly followed in, but unexpectedly several maids also came in. Some were carrying a change of clothes, one was holding scented soap, one was holding a handkerchief, and the other was holding flower petals. Yun Shang frowned slightly.

She frowned and said, "Put down your things. You can go out first. This princess is not used to strangers watching her bathing. Anyway, this princess is just a helpless woman. She should be surrounded by your people.

Well, what are you worried about?"

The four maids looked at each other, put everything aside without saying a word, and then walked out.

Yun Shang frowned, took off her clothes, walked into the tub, and sat down in the tub.

Qian Yin came forward with the scented soap and applied it carefully on Yun Shang's skin. While she was putting her hand into the water to apply it, she quietly wrote some words on Yun Shang's back. The signal had been sent.

Order rescue? A cold smile appeared on Yun Shang's lips and she shook her head. After all, she really wanted to know who she had offended. It should be said that she wanted to know who among the people she knew.

, who has such scheming and ability.

Qianyin didn't say much. She washed Yun Shang's clothes calmly, waited on Yun Shang to put on her clothes, and picked up a big handkerchief to help Yun Shang wrap her wet hair.

Just walked out.

Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly stepped forward, took off the veil covering her hair, and carefully wiped Yun Shang's hair.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly and allowed Qin Yi to move.

"Miss, Butler Zhao just ordered someone to deliver this. He said he saw it in the lady's carriage. It must be a very important thing, so he asked his servant to deliver it to the lady." A thin voice rang out, Yun Shang

Looking up, he saw a maid holding a sachet in her hand.

Seeing this, Qin Yi quickly took it and said, "Princess, isn't this the birthday gift you are going to give to Prince Jing? In it, you personally beat the sword tassel for Prince Jing, why are you still here?"

Only then did Yun Shang think about it. No wonder I always felt that I had forgotten something today, but I didn't want to forget this. It's no wonder that as soon as I arrived at the palace, I was pulled to do this and that, and there was also a lot of trouble.

That incident left this thing behind.

"I was so busy that I forgot to give it to the emperor's uncle. It doesn't matter, just keep it for now and give it to me next time." Yun Shang smiled and said without caring.

After Yun Shang made up her mind to stay here to see who the person behind the scenes was, she just pretended that she was in Qingxin Palace and didn't hold back. She took Qian Yin and Qin Yi to talk about ordinary things for a while, and then called

After a few yawns, I went to bed and fell asleep.

Maybe she was really tired during the day, so she fell asleep quickly after getting into bed. Seeing Yun Shang's nonchalant look, Qian Yin and Qin Yi knew that she must have made some arrangements.

Then he calmed down a little, retreated to the side room and fell asleep.

As the night deepened, the lights in a room on the west side of the yard suddenly turned on, two figures were reflected in the window, and a low voice came from inside, "How is it? How did she react?"

"This slave seems to be a calm master. Even if something like this happened, he never panicked. He looked very calm from beginning to end. He was only slightly stunned when he entered the room and saw the furnishings in the room.

I was stunned, and just now I heard those girls say that after washing, she talked to the two palace maids for a while as if she were in her own palace, and then fell asleep." A respectful voice rang out,

It was Manager Zhao.

"Oh? He is indeed a man who can stand up to things. Prince Jing's vision is not bad." The voice of the man from before came out again, with a bit of envy, and sent a message to the Li Mansion, saying that they wanted to

I have kept these people for them. Anyone who wants to meet can come and meet by himself. If they don’t meet, they can tell them what to do. However, I will remove the obstacles they mentioned for them. If they make excuses again in the future, it will be bad.

It's my business, and I will never let him off lightly." The voice that was soft just now suddenly took on a dangerous aura, with a hint of murderous intent.

Butler Zhao quickly said, "I understand, I will go and deliver the message right away." The lights in the room flashed, and silence returned.

"Bang bang bang..." Several muffled sounds came in succession. Yun Shang, who had been sleeping very lightly, sat up suddenly when he heard the sound, looking at the black figure standing in front of him with burning eyes.

The black figure didn't seem to expect Yun Shang to wake up. He was stunned for a long time before he knelt down and said, "Princess."

It turned out to be a woman. Yun Shang nodded and her eyes fell on the figures lying on the ground. After a while, she asked, "Uncle Huang once said that he put a few secret guards around me. Is that you?"

The woman responded, "Jingying has met the princess."

Yun Shang frowned slightly, wondering if she was being sensitive. She always felt that although this Jingying seemed to be very respectful to her, there seemed to be a bit of resentment in her words. Yun Shang knew that she must be following her anytime and anywhere.

The people around me just don’t know when I said something or did something that made this girl angry? Could it be because when I was quietly in the palace, I talked a lot to myself about Prince Jing?

bad words? So she protects her master?

"Have you seen who robbed me? Since you have been following me, and the martial arts of these four maids are not weak, you can easily knock them down, and your martial arts must not be the same. Why did I get killed before?"

They were hijacked here by the Omen Land, but you never came out?" Yun Shang said softly.

In the darkness, Yun Shang couldn't see the woman's expression, but only heard the woman say in a deep voice, "The secret guard's order is that unless the master's life is in danger, he cannot expose himself to the enemy."

"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows.

"My subordinates never saw who kidnapped the princess, just because the person who took the lead changed his appearance and never showed his true face." Jingying lowered his head and said.

"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Why did you suddenly come out now?"

Meiying was reminded of what the leader of the secret guards had said before, and felt a little disappointed in her heart. The leader said that the princess suddenly disappeared, and the prince got so angry that he almost smashed the study and almost killed some of his brothers.

"My subordinates have contacted other secret guard brothers. The prince has ordered us to rescue the princess as soon as possible." Mei Ying's voice did not contain any fluctuations.

Yun Shang smiled slightly. Although he was robbed silently, the person who robbed him must not have noticed that there were so many masters behind him. If he had been prepared, it would be very difficult for them to find him.

of.

"I want to stay here. I want to know who is behind the scenes." Yun Shang said calmly.

Mei Ying was silent for a moment before responding, "I will report to the prince. The person who kidnapped the princess just now came and summoned Manager Zhao in the west wing. That person has extremely high martial arts and attributes.

I didn't dare to get close, so I didn't hear what he said, but within a quarter of an hour, the man left. His Qinggong was so good that we couldn't keep up, but we did catch up with Butler Zhao. Maybe

We will find out soon."

Yun Shang nodded, "Be careful."

Mei Ying gave a faint "hmm" and then disappeared into the darkness. Yun Shang was really tired and fell asleep again.

It was already dawn when I woke up again. Several girls fetched water and waited for Yun Shang to wash up. Yun Shang looked at the four maids with expressions on their faces. She must have been unaware of what happened last night. After washing, she served the food.

We had breakfast, barley and lily porridge, with a few plates of refreshing side dishes.

Yun Shang didn't say much, and asked Qin Yi and Qian Yin to sit down together, ate something casually, then nestled in the soft bed and took a nap again.

Nothing happened all morning, not even the housekeeper named Zhao came.

The lunch dishes were a bit rich, and there were a few Yun Shang's favorite dishes, so Yun Shang ate more. After lunch, Yun Shang felt a dull pain in her head. Just when she was about to speak, she heard "bang"

A sound came, Yun Shang turned her head and saw Qinyi falling to the ground, Qianyin was also shaking her head, as if she was trying hard to drive away the thought of falling down in her heart, but in the end she couldn't resist and fell down.

Yun Shang thought in her mind that there must be something wrong with the food. It was just that she had been raised in a medicine jar since she was a child and had long been resistant to ordinary intoxicating drugs. She only had a slight pain in her head and no other reaction. She just saw

From the looks of Qian Yin and Qin Yi, Yun Shang already knew what the contents of the dish looked like and the effect. He made a decision at that moment, eyes blank, and fell to the ground suddenly.

"Go back to the manager and tell him that it's done." Yun Shang heard the voice coming from beside her. It was one of the four maids.

After a while, there were footsteps, and then a soft man's voice came, "Send them to the carriage. The imperial city has been very strict these past two days to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"

Behind was the voice of Butler Zhao's promise. Yun Shang was stunned. So, is the person in charge here? Yun Shang felt a hand touching his face. Yun Shang was secretly shocked. After a while, he suppressed it.

I had the urge to get up, but after a while, I felt something covering my face, something soft, like some kind of skin.

Yun Shang frowned and thought for a long time before suddenly realizing in her heart, could it be that he was disguising himself?

His father and Prince Jing must have been very anxious because of his disappearance. It is normal for the imperial city to have stricter inspections. They just don't know whether he wants to send him out of the city or into the city. However, there should not be such a large dense forest in the city.

He was outside the city, and the man just now had deliberately told them that the interrogation in the city was a bit strict, and he told them not to cause trouble, as he was probably going to be sent to the city.

It stands to reason that after kidnapping the princess, she has already left the imperial city. Naturally, she should find a place to hide her. But what is the purpose of trying to get into the city even though she is already outside the imperial city? Even though it is the most dangerous

This place is the safest place, but it's not worth the risk.

I don’t know how that person changed his appearance.

Yun Shang felt that she was being picked up and put down again. After a while, Yun Shang heard the sound of the carriage's wheels turning. Yun Shang carefully felt the direction of the carriage. Turning to the left, there was the carriage.

Turning to the left, turning to the right, and naturally turning again, Yun Shang secretly counted in her heart, recorded every turn, and secretly remembered some of the sounds she heard in the car, the sounds of birds, and the barking of dogs.

The sound of the rooster crows.

Not long after, the car stopped.

Yun Shang heard the sound of someone talking outside. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice coming, "Go to the city to check, who is in your car?"

Yun Shang pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and realized that it seemed that the gate of the city had fallen. The voice of Butler Zhao came from outside, "Master Jun, the younger one is from the village next door. His son is sick, so the younger one took him into the city."

Go see the doctor and ask the military master to be accommodating."

"The military master also wants to be accommodating, but Prince Jing has told me that everyone entering and leaving the city today must be carefully inspected. If there is something wrong with one of them, it will be a matter of losing his head. Pull up the curtain of the carriage and let me have a look."

." A somewhat rough voice came, and Yun Shang felt vaguely familiar. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered that this person should be the man named Wang Shun next to Prince Jing.

He actually came to check the city gate in person? Thinking of what Butler Zhao said just now, Yun Shang felt a hint of bitterness in her heart. I'm afraid that man had disguised himself as a sick young master. It was indeed a clever move.

The light suddenly became a little stronger. Yun Shang froze and felt someone's eyes falling on her. After a while, she heard Wang Shun's voice, "Go in." (To be continued)
