Chapter 124 The murderer behind the scenes

The carriage wheels rolled again.

Yun Shang secretly wondered where they were going to send her. There were only a few people she had offended in the imperial city, but there were not many people who could afford to hire such people as thugs, and there were not many in total. There were only a few of them, but they just remembered what happened to Prince Jing a few days ago, but they didn't know what was going on. Maybe they wanted to arrest themselves to threaten Prince Jing?

Yun Shang knew that since Wang Shun appeared, Prince Jing must be nearby.

At this time, just above the city gate, King Jing was sitting in the place where the defenders of the city gate were resting. It was only big enough for four or five people to sit. King Jing was leaning on the chair, his face was a little cold, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. I was a little confused, I didn't know what I was thinking about, and there was a stunning woman standing next to me.

"Squeak..." The wooden door was pushed open. Prince Jing raised his eyes and looked at the door, and saw Wang Shun walking in.

"How?" Prince Jing said softly.

Wang Shun raised his eyes to look at Prince Jing and pondered for a moment before saying, "Just now a carriage passed by. In the carriage lay a pale young master who was said to be ill. However, his subordinates saw that there were holes in his ears. He should be the female Yi Yi. Judging by her stature, I think she must be Princess Huiguo."

Prince Jing nodded, "Have you sent someone to follow?"

Wang Shun agreed, "Well, there should be at least four secret guards following the princess, and my subordinates sent a few more people to follow her."

The stunning woman looked over and said, "Master has always been smart. Since he didn't ask us to rescue him, he must have his own plan. We just need to follow him from a distance and don't scare the snake. When the master is useful, he will naturally summon him. Prince, don't worry." .”

There was a hint of probing in Prince Jing's eyes, "You seem to trust her? I have never seen her take action, and I don't know what her strength is. It's just that she has no internal strength. If she meets a master, I'm afraid it will still be very difficult."

The stunning woman was naturally Ning Qian. When Ning Qian heard this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the princess has no internal strength, in addition to martial arts, she carries many hidden weapons, and of course poisons." There will be less.”

When King Jing heard this, he didn't say anything. He stood up after a long time and said, "Pay attention to Chang'er's whereabouts at all times. If there is any news, I will report it in time."

Wang Shun and Ning Qian agreed, and Prince Jing opened the door and walked out, heading towards the palace. Yun Shang was missing. Although it was hidden from everyone, Emperor Ning knew about it and had to go to the palace to report it to Emperor Ning. One sound.

"The things have been delivered, open the door." Yun Shang heard a knock on the door from outside the carriage, and her heart lifted slightly. After a while, she heard the sound of the door opening, and then a voice rang out, "Here? The master is already here. They are waiting in the study. You send them to the side courtyard first."

Yun Shang secretly thought about the path she had taken since entering the city, and carefully calculated it against the map Ning Qian had given her before. She found that it should be slightly east of the imperial city.

Yun Shang noticed that the light suddenly became stronger, and knew that the curtain of the carriage must have been opened. Then she was picked up, and after walking for a while, Yun Shang was put down again.

After a while, a voice came from outside, "Is it her? Princess Yunshang is obviously a girl, why did she suddenly turn into a man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone walking in, more than one person, and then someone peeled off the thin layer of skin on Yun Shang's face.

"Well, that's her. I saw her a few times when she was still young. Although she is much more beautiful now, her features and eyes look more and more like her mother-in-law." The voice from before came over, Yun said.

Listening to his words, Chang secretly guessed the identity of this person. He must not know this person himself, because Yun Chang always believed that his memory was extremely good, and he would not forget it if he heard it. However, he said

Having seen herself before, when she was still a child, Yun Shang secretly guessed the identity of this person. She had almost never left the palace when she was a child, so he should at least be someone who had entered the palace.

It's just that the range is a bit large, and it's really hard to guess.

"Go and call her over later. Now that she has been brought to her, it is up to her to decide how to deal with it. However, after this matter is settled, we must make her listen to us with peace of mind. If she refuses again,

Our arrangement, then I will never let her go. She refused to do it. There were many people who wanted to do it. I just chose her because of her slight advantage in appearance. You know, she also

It’s not that important, it’s so important that it’s irreplaceable.” The man said in a cold voice.

A grunting voice came from behind and said, "Yes, sir, I will call the young lady over in a moment."

Just as he finished speaking, several voices were heard, "Miss, the master has something to do in the side courtyard. Miss, stay here."

"Let her in." The voice before was a little colder.

Then there was a burst of footsteps, and the footsteps stopped in Yun Shang's ears. Yun Shang heard a slight gasp, and after a while, a slightly proud laugh sounded, "Haha, she fell into my hands as expected.

, I didn’t expect that she would also have this day, hahahaha..."

After a while, the laughter subsided, and Yun Shang heard the man's voice from before, "I have fulfilled your request. Don't forget what you promised me, otherwise, you know

I am not a kind person."

There was silence in the room for a moment before the woman's cold voice was heard, "Dad, don't worry, since my daughter has agreed, there is no reason to regret it."

"You have the right and left people in your hands, so you don't have to worry. Your mother is going to take you out later, so go ahead and prepare." The man said softly.

The woman responded readily, "My daughter, I'll go down and get ready." As she spoke, the footsteps began to drift away again.

Yun Shang felt a gaze falling on her, and after a while she moved away. Yun Shang heard a faint command, "Lock the door."

All the people in the room seemed to have left. Yun Shang heard the sound of the lock being locked. After a long time, Yun Shang felt it carefully. There seemed to be no other people around. Yun Shang opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

, I did not expect that the person who kidnapped me was actually her...that cold beauty, Wen Ruyu.

The man Wen Ruyu called daddy just now must be Wen Yunqing, the current Minister of Household Affairs. Unexpectedly, Wen Yunqing is also a well-hidden person.

However, Yun Shang really couldn't figure out how she had offended Wen Ruyu. She had only met her a few times, but if there was anything that offended her so deeply, she would kidnap him at all costs.

There is no crime.

Moreover, from what they said just now, it seemed that Wen Yunqing wanted Wen Ruyu to do something. Wen Ruyu made this request, and Wen Yunqing tied herself up.

Now that he knows who the person who kidnapped him is, he has no reason to stay any longer. Yun Shang thought, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that the place where he was now should be in a woodshed.

, he was lying on a pile of withered grass, with only a layer of cloth underneath him.

Yun Shang raised his hand to his mouth and blew a few times, but no sound was made. After a while, there were several muffled sounds outside the door. The door was opened, and Yun Sang's men came in.

Several secret guards, Yun Shang glanced at them, "Go, find a woman about the same size as me in this house, and ask Ning Qian to come and disguise herself as me. Of course, the person you find will

, the more respected and loved by Wen Yunqing, the better."

Several secret guards nodded and disappeared again. Yun Shang sighed, walked out, jumped and disappeared into the yard.

Prince Jing just came back from the palace and walked into his courtyard. He felt something strange before he even stepped into the house. He saw that there were secret guards around him, but there was no warning, so he frowned and wondered who was in his house.

, could it be that Wang Jinhuan is here?

Prince Jing frowned and walked into the house. There was no one in the main hall. When Prince Jing walked into the inner room, he was suddenly startled. He only saw a woman lying on the soft couch, with a demure expression on her face.

A little tired, he leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.

As if he noticed someone coming in, he opened his eyes suddenly and looked towards the door. When he saw Prince Jing, he paused slightly and called, "Uncle." His expression softened a bit.

Prince Jing smiled, walked to Yun Shang and sat down, and asked softly, "Is everything okay?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Chang'er is fine. Uncle Huang is worried. It's just that he didn't sleep much last night and is a little sleepy. Uncle Huang, please rest in the house. Chang'er can ask someone to take me to the guest room."

When Prince Jing saw that Yun Shang was about to stand up after speaking, he raised his hand and pressed Yun Shang on the soft couch again. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can sleep here. When we were at the border, weren't you also here?"

Sleeping in the king’s tent?”

Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then nodded, lay down obediently, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon after.

When Prince Jing saw that she was sleeping deeply, he stood up, walked to the courtyard, and called out, "Jing Ying."

A woman in black knelt in front of him.

Prince Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jingying with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Who kidnapped the princess?"

"Master, it's Lord Wen Yunqing, the Minister of Household Affairs. It seems that his daughter Wen Ruyu asked him to tie up the princess. From what my subordinates heard, it seems that Lord Wen Yunqing wanted Wen Ruyu to do something." Jingying said with an indifferent expression.

Prince Jing's eyes swept over Jingying indifferently, "Oh, Minister Hube, you are indeed a capable person. But, you let the princess get kidnapped. If something happens to the princess, how many lives do you have to pay for it? Moreover,

You have obviously been following the princess, why didn't you send someone to report it?"

Jingying was silent for a moment, then leaned down and said, "This subordinate is aware of his guilt, and please be punished by the master."

Prince Jing smiled coldly, "You are the only woman among my secret guards, so I asked you to protect her. Since you don't want to, it doesn't make any difference whether you are there or not. Just go to your leader to get it."

You will be punished and withdraw from the secret guard."

Jingying originally thought that Prince Jing would just beat and scold her, and she was not afraid in her heart. However, she did not expect that Prince Jing would actually have the idea of ​​expelling her from the secret guard. She was shocked and felt a little unbelievable.

Looking at Prince Jing, "Master, is it because of her that you want to make your subordinates famous among the secret guards?"

Prince Jing looked at her calmly, and then said after a long time, "You are all personally selected and trained by me one by one. I cherish you very much. However, no matter how outstanding you are, once you have any dissent towards me, you will be treated differently."

According to the king, that is a disaster, and once it breaks out, it will be fatal. I will never allow such uncertain factors to exist. I have made up my mind, so go ahead."

Jingying was a little dazed. After a long while, tears fell from the corner of her eyes, "Master, I am willing to protect the Princess. I was just confused for a moment. Please forgive me. From now on, I will never have random thoughts again. If the Princess has

If there is even the slightest mistake, my subordinates will never survive."

Prince Jing shook his head, "I have already decided."

"The emperor's uncle doesn't want this secret guard, but Chang'er saw that her martial arts skills were very good, and he felt a little pity for her talent. Since the emperor's uncle doesn't want this secret guard, let's give it to Chang'er, who happens to be next to her.

There is also a shortage of people." A clear and cold voice came over. Prince Jing and Jingying turned around and saw a woman standing behind the door. She had a face as beautiful as jade and her hair was draped softly on her shoulders.

Prince Jing frowned slightly, "If Chang'er doesn't have a few secret guards around him, I still have a lot of them here. Just pick a few yourself."

Yun Chang smiled slightly, "It's just that she is the only female secret guard around the emperor's uncle. Chang'er is a woman after all. It would be inappropriate if there are several men guarding her all the time." After saying this, she didn't ask any questions.

Prince Jing just stared at the woman kneeling on the ground and said, "I wonder if this girl is willing to stay with me?"

Jingying was stunned. Princess Yunshang must have heard what she just said and knew that she didn't want to see her. But why did she dare to keep her by her side?

Jingying knew that she was slightly envious of this princess. She had the most noble status. When Prince Jing sent him to protect her, he thought that she only had the status of a superior princess. But these days,

But seeing her doing things for others, although she didn't like her, she still admired her a little. This little princess was much younger than herself, but in many things, she quietly asked herself, if she were her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to do as well.

she.

It was precisely because he found out that she was so good and worthy of the man she had always been in love with that Jingying's heart became even more unbalanced, so naturally she was very careless in dealing with Yun Shang.

But I didn't expect that in the end, I would reach this point. But I didn't expect that when I went through such a thing, the person standing next to me would be the person I had always disliked.

After a long while, Jingying bowed to Yun Shang, "My subordinate Jingying pays homage to my master." Although his master became Princess Yun Shang, as long as she could see him, she would be satisfied.

Seeing this, Yun Shang nodded, "Uncle Huang, since Jingying is willing to recognize me as his master, then I should beg you for her, and I hope Uncle Huang will show mercy."

Prince Jing's eyes went back and forth between the two of them several times, but his brows furrowed slightly. After a moment, he said, "Since she has recognized you as her master, she is naturally yours. What are you going to do?

It’s up to you to decide.”

Yun Shang said "hmm" and looked at Jingying, "Then you go down and wait for me. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed first."

Jingying nodded and watched Yun Shang walk into the inner room, followed by Prince Jing. Jingying paused and knelt for more than half an hour before standing up with a look on her face.

Somewhat sad.

The night was getting darker, Wen Ruyu was sitting at the table in Wen Mansion, but she was a little lost. The old lady sitting on the main seat frowned, "What's wrong with Yu'er today? Why does she look so weak, but her body is not good?"

Comfortable? I heard that you went to Prince Shunqing's Mansion with your mother today? Is everything going well?"

Wen Ruyu came back to her senses, shook her head hurriedly and said, "Grandma, Yu'er is fine. I just thought of the flowers I embroidered recently and wondered what embroidery style should be better. Many styles are old, Yu'er

I was just planning to find some fresh embroidery samples to take a look at."

Wen Yunqing's eyes swept over Wen Ruyu lightly, without speaking.

When the old lady heard this, she was very happy, "Yu'er is really the most talented. I heard your aunt say a few days ago that you have learned double-sided embroidery? I also learned it when I was young, but it took me a long time to learn it.

You don't know how to embroider. You can basically master it after only a few days of learning. You are smart. Princess Shunqing especially likes embroidery. I asked someone to find some fresh patterns. After you embroider, I will give it to Princess Shunqing.

Come over, your sister is the Crown Princess, the more you please Princess Shunqing, the more your sister will be better off. In our Wen family, your sister is the most promising, so you have to work hard."

Wen Ruyu frowned, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't show it openly, so she just responded in a low voice and said nothing more.

After sitting with the old lady for a while and having dinner in the old lady's yard, Wen Ruyu was called to the study by Wen Yunqing to explain some things before letting her out.

Wen Ruyu returned to her yard, changed into the maid's clothes, and walked towards the remote area while the sky was getting dark.

The guards in the side courtyard looked a little cold. When Wen Ruyu came over, they just looked at her lightly and let her in. The guards were a little annoyed that the two guarding the gate this afternoon were not paying attention.

I fell asleep. Fortunately, I checked when I woke up and found that the man was still in the house. Otherwise, if something happened, I would have to pay for it with my head.

The woman sleeping on the haystack seemed to have not yet woken up, and was still frowning in her sleep, looking very uncomfortable. As soon as Wen Ruyu saw Yun Shang's face, a coldness flashed across her eyes, and she said coldly, "

I really didn’t expect that one day you would fall into my hands. It’s a pity that you were drugged and didn’t know anything. However, although I really want you to wake up and feel the pain, I also know that first

The principle of attacking first is to gain advantage first."

Wen Ruyu smiled coldly, grabbed a dagger from the side, and opened it. The dagger shone with a cold light in the air. Wen Ruyu put the dagger next to Yun Shang's face and said with a smile, "This face is quite pretty.

Likeable, I will help you destroy her..." As he said that, he moved his hand and the dagger passed across Yun Shang's face..." (To be continued)
