Hearing this, Yun Shang was silent for a moment, and in the end she just curled her lips and said nothing.
It seems that the emperor's secret guard is still not on his side. Yun Shang turned his head and looked at Qianyin, "Notify everyone in the imperial city to pay attention to the movements in the city, but in such a short time, they are still
If you bring someone with you, you won't be able to go far."
Qian Yin nodded, her eyes fell on Mei Ying, she raised a sarcastic smile, took out a bamboo flute the size of a thumb from her sleeve, brought it to her mouth and blew it hard, but no sound came out.
Mei Ying's expression changed and she lowered her head. She understood that Yun Shang asked Qianyin to deliver the message in front of her because she wanted to tell her that if she wanted to contact her, she could easily contact her even if she was not nearby.
, they are all the prince’s secret guards...
The imperial guards made a thorough investigation, but found nothing. They did not find Prince Jing, nor did they find the secret passage.
Yun Shang sat in front of the window. It started to drizzle again outside, and the laughter of the ladies came from the front hall. Yun Shang lowered his head and looked at the arrow feathers in his hand. This was where he had just taken advantage of others not paying attention.
Picked up from Qingsi Pavilion.
Yun Shang looked at it for a while, then handed the arrow feathers to Qianyin and said softly, "Have someone check the iron shops in the imperial city and ask who has recently made hollowed-out arrowheads out of pig iron."
Qian Yin quickly responded and retreated hastily.
The raindrops outside the window fell on the bamboo leaves, making a dripping sound. Yun Shang sighed. She knew that Prince Jing should not expose himself to danger, and how could a cunning person like Prince Jing
Could it be taken away so easily?
However, although the reason in his heart told him that Prince Jing would be fine, he still couldn't resist the waves of uneasiness that hit him.
There was another burst of laughter outside, and there were footsteps coming towards her. Yun Shang withdrew her gaze and looked towards the door, and saw Qin Yi walking in, holding a bowl of honey water in her hand.
Yun Shang was startled for a moment, and then she remembered that maybe she was feeling a little uneasy today because she had menarche. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to take the honey water and drink it all in one gulp.
But Qinyi thought to herself, "The princess was caught in the rain just now, so she has to take good care of her. When this woman is in the sunflower water, she is most likely to cause a cold in the palace, so be careful."
Yun Shang nodded and heard Qin Yi say, "Just now Eunuch Zheng came to announce the rankings of the flower viewing banquet. The first place is Zilong Woxue brought by Sun Yaniang, and the second place is Wan Qin'er from Qizhou.
The third place we brought to Wei Zi was given to Yunzhou Qian Yundi’s Qinglong Womochi. But Miss Wen didn’t even get the top three.”
"Oh?" Yun Shang curled her lips slightly. That Sun Yaniang is someone I can make friends with. Since she won the first prize, her future marriage will definitely not be low, and maybe she can be used by me in the end.
"Princess." A dark figure appeared in the room. Qinyi was stunned, took two steps back, and looked at the sudden appearance of the woman with some confusion.
"Just now, not long after something happened to the master, the third prince of Yelang Kingdom said that he was not in good health, apologized and left."
Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at the woman in black and raised her eyebrows, "What? Do you think that Cang Jue Qingsu is the murderer who captured your master?"
After hearing this, Mei Ying fell silent, and then said after a while, "Cang Jue Qingsu always felt that it was because of his master that prevented him from attacking the Ning Kingdom and prevented him from being recognized by the Emperor of Yelang Kingdom and being established as the prince.
Therefore, I have always held a grudge against my master."
Yun Shang sighed, shook his head and said, "What do you think Cang Jue Qingsu is like?"
Mei Ying pondered for a moment and then said, "I am impulsive and irritable, decisive in doing things, and do not look forward or backward."
Yun Shang nodded and asked, "What do you think of today's situation?"
Mei Ying fell silent. Yes, she was worried. The soldiers of Yelang Kingdom are not weak, and Yelang Kingdom is mostly nomadic people, and their war horses are also very good. If Cang Jue Qingsu has such ability, how can he
He will be beaten by his master until he loses his armor and is in such a state of embarrassment.
Yun Shang ignored Mei Ying and walked to the table to stand. Now in the imperial city, there are only a few people who dare to attack Prince Jing, including Prime Minister Li, Cang Jue Qingsu, the Seventh Prince of Xia Kingdom...
Also, Emperor Ning...
Yun Shang paused, and when she thought of the last person, she couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart. No wonder Prince Jing had such thoughts before. For the sake of this country, there were so many brothers who fought against each other. What's more, they were not
Biological brothers.
It was getting dark, and Yun Shang frowned slightly. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the palace today. Emperor Ning is in the palace now. Although there are enough things happening in the palace today, but...
After all, it was safer with so many people guarding him. If he returned to the palace in the dark, he might be ambushed on the way.
Time passed little by little, and there was no news from the front hall. Yun Shang ate some food and then walked to the inner room and sat down.
"There are no concubines coming today, and there are many empty courtyards. You can take the ladies to have a rest later. Try to have two of them in one courtyard so that they can take care of them. Send more maids to serve them." Yun Shang said softly.
Qin Yi nodded and retreated.
Qianyin walked in wet, "Princess, there is news from outside that all the iron shops in the imperial city have been checked, and no one has ordered such a batch of arrows. These arrows have a special structure and are made of pig iron. If
It was really done in the city, so someone must know about it."
Yun Shang nodded. Since it was not built in the imperial city, it was done outside and brought in.
Qianyin knew what Yunshang was thinking, so he hurriedly arrived again, "We also went to inquire at the four city gates. In these days, two teams of envoys, as well as the Minister of War and Li's Mansion, brought in a large number of things from outside.
"
The Minister of War is the Wang family. Yun Shang shook his head. The Wang family must be members of Prince Jing and there is no way they could attack him.
So, who is the Seventh Prince of Xia Kingdom, Cangjue Qingsu, or Prime Minister Li?
"Is Xiahou Jingke here today?" Yun Shang said softly.
"Here he is, he's still here now." Qianyin responded quickly.
Yun Shang fell silent. Wen Ruyu came well-prepared today, but she was afraid that the Yi Shang situation was her goal, but it seemed to have been solved by Prince Jing. Wen Ruyu pretended to be herself to lure Prince Jing, and Wen Ruyu would definitely and
That group of people knew each other.
I clearly remember that the last time I was kidnapped, it was also because of Wen Ruyu.
The only person who has contact with Wen Ruyu is the Prime Minister's Mansion. It seems that everyone in the Wen Mansion respects Prime Minister Li very much.
Could it be Prime Minister Li?
But... Yun Shang's expression paused slightly. If Prime Minister Li was not stupid, he would never choose this time to attack Prince Jing. It is a well-known fact that Prince Jing was at odds with him. If something happened to Prince Jing,
I am afraid that most people will suspect him. Moreover, the Yelang Kingdom has not withdrawn its troops yet, and the Xia Kingdom is also watching. If something happens to King Jing, there will be no one in the Ning Kingdom as prestigious and powerful as King Jing.
When the time comes, when these two countries unite, Ningguo will be in danger.
Prime Minister Li has been cultivating generals over the years, but it is obvious that he has not succeeded yet. At this time, Prime Minister Li may not dare to touch Prince Jing.
Yun Shang turned her eyes and looked at Qianyin and said, "If you were the one who robbed Prince Jing, where would you hide Prince Jing?"
Qianyin didn't expect Yunshang to suddenly ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Didn't the princess often say that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Could it be in this palace?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly but said nothing.
A rapid flute sound came, and Yun Shang suddenly raised his head and looked at Qianyin. Qianyin walked to the window in a few steps, pushed open the window, and saw a piece of parchment nailed to the window with a golden needle.
Yin took down the parchment, glanced down, and his expression changed, "Princess, there is something strange in a small courtyard in the east of the city."
Yun Shang took the paper and took a look. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. It read that some people in gray clothes had entered a courtyard in the east of the city, carrying a small sedan, and entered the courtyard directly. That courtyard was five days ago.
After being sold, the person who bought the yard was named Lin Hua.
"I'll go there, you stay here." Yun Shang whispered, jumped up, and rolled out of the window.
"Hey, princess..." Qianyin hurriedly shouted, rushed to the window and looked outside, and saw that Yun Chang had disappeared outside. Qianyin's eyes widened, she bit her lip and said, "My
My dear princess, this is the palace, how should I respond if the emperor calls me?"
Due to several accidents in succession, the guards in the palace were strengthened so much that when Yun Shang came out of the palace, it took a lot of effort and she had several cuts on her arms.
As soon as she left the palace, Yun Shang quickly found Ning Qian and asked Ning Qian to take her to the courtyard. The courtyard was heavily guarded. Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Prince Jing was really there?
Inside? But, why doesn’t the aura of the secret guards seem to be felt around here?
Ning Qian had excellent Qinggong skills, so she took the lead in exploring the way. Yun Shang pressed against the window and listened to the rustling sounds inside. After a while, she heard a low whistle.
Yun Shang hurriedly cheered up and crossed the wall. The yard was not big, but it was just a four-indoor courtyard with a front yard full of flowers and plants. The current location of Yun Shang and Ning Qian was in the front yard. Yun Shang wrinkled
He frowned, the guards here were very tight, but fortunately, although the guards were all masters, they were not top masters. Yun Shang could handle it well.
Someone was coming this way. Yun Shang hid in a bush of flowers and frowned slightly. If those two people came over from this position, they would most likely find them. Yun Shang thought about it, then raised his hand and put something in his sleeve.
Several silver needles were shot out, and the sound of the needles entering the body came. Yun Shang nodded slightly towards Ning Qian. Ning Qian raised her hand and threw a bright light outside, only to hear a "boom", and the light in the front yard was heard.
The hall was on fire.
"It's gone!" Someone's voice came over, and Ning Qian quickly walked over and hugged Yun Shang's waist, jumped up, and flew to the roof.
Yun Shang saw someone walking towards the front hall, but a few people who seemed to have better martial arts skills than the guards looked at each other and quietly walked out towards a room on the side.
Yun Shang's eyes lit up, and Ning Qian pulled her over to the top of the house again.
A low voice came from below, "I'm afraid someone has found this place. Let's take this Princess Yunshang away first and send it to my village overnight."
Yun Shang was slightly startled, Princess Yun Shang? Aren't you here?
Before he could react, he saw two men in gray running out of the house quickly with a touch of vermilion on their shoulders, and left in a few seconds.
"Master..." Ning Qian said softly.
A dark light flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, "It seems that the person we want to arrest here is not the emperor's uncle, but is coming for me." Yun Shang had already seen it just now. The woman who was carried away had worn herself.
The clothes are as warm as jade.
"Send someone to follow them and see where they go. I'll go back to the palace first." Yun Shang turned around and jumped towards the palace. Prince Jing was not here...
"Princess, you are back." As soon as Yun Shang entered the house, he saw two girls pacing back and forth in the house anxiously. Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong? But what happened?
"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Something happened in the palace. Empress Yabi, Meng Jieyu, Fu Meiren, and the empress were all poisoned... The emperor has just passed the decree and immediately set off to return to the palace."
"Such a coincidence?" Yun Shang frowned. It was so coincidental that it was hard to ignore that four concubines were poisoned at the same time. I don't know which song this song was from.
Qin Yi nodded, "I heard that the emperor was so angry just now that he almost killed the eunuch who came to report."
Yun Shang nodded, "Then let's go back to the palace." After saying that, he walked outside.
When he walked to the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped, "No, there's something fishy about this..."
Qianyin pursed her lips, "I also know that this matter is strange. I poisoned so many people at once. I don't know who is so powerful. While the emperor is not in the palace, he actually attacks the concubines in the harem. I just don't know that the concubines in the harem are poisoned to death."
What is the use."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and just now she almost fell into the trap. As Qianyin said, attacking a few concubines would have no effect at all. At most, the queen could restrain Prime Minister Li a little, and the others were almost insignificant.
. However, it happened by such a coincidence.
"This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Yun Shang bit her lip and stood up, "I can't go back to the palace, I have to wait here. Maybe the emperor's uncle didn't go out to the palace at all, and that person caused trouble in the harem.
Such a big movement is to lure the father back to the palace. Once the father returns, at least three-quarters of the guards in the palace will be withdrawn. At most, a small part of the imperial guards will be left to find the whereabouts of Prince Jing.
, at this time, it’s best to run away.”
A hint of doubt flashed in Qianyin's eyes, "But princess, after Prince Jing disappeared, the emperor almost ordered people to dig deep into the ground, but he still couldn't find him. If he was in the palace, how could he not find him?"
Yun Shang smiled coldly, "I'm afraid it would be difficult to dig a tunnel directly to the bottom of the mountain. It would take too much time, and there are a lot of ordinary people here, so it would be extremely difficult. However, if we just dig a tunnel for people to temporarily
It's not difficult to find a place to take refuge for a while. You don't have to say anything, I will definitely stay here. You send a message and ask Ning Qian to pretend to be me and go back to the palace with my father first."
Qianyin was silent for a long time, then nodded, took out the bamboo flute and played it.
After a while, Ning Qian walked in. Yun Shang told her what happened and asked Ning Qian to change her clothes. Yun Shang watched Ning Qian put on the human skin mask, change her clothes, and tie her hair again.
Then he smiled slightly and said, "Qian Qian's disguise skills are really amazing. Even I can't tell the difference."
As soon as Ning Qian finished cleaning up, a chamberlain came to urge Yun Chang to set off. Yun Chang nodded and hid behind the screen. Ning Qian took Qian Yin and Qin Yi out and Yun Chang stood in the room for a long time.
Only then did the noise in the palace gradually subside.
After a long while, I heard a cold female voice above my head, "The Emperor has come down the mountain."
Yun Shang nodded, raised his hand and blew a strange syllable, and more than a dozen women in black appeared in front of him. Yun Shang said softly, "Prince Jing disappeared in Qingsi Pavilion, focus on the area around Qingsi Pavilion."
Yun Shang and his men stood guard near the Qingsi Pavilion, motionless, and lost weight all night. In the early morning, the palace was very quiet, but Yun Shang suddenly saw someone running out of the Qingsi Pavilion carrying a cloth bag. Yun Shang smiled slightly.
He was startled, his eyes fell on the cloth bag, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
"Master..." A thin questioning voice came from behind.
Yun Shang raised her hand and shook her head, "Fake."
Everyone was stunned and looked at the cloth bag. They obviously didn't see anything. How could the master know that it was a fake?
The corner of Yun Shang's mouth curled up. Although these people were smart, they had omitted some details. Did the person in the bag straighten up? He was tied to death. However, Yun Shang looked at the bag.
, the bag is only a little over five feet at most. Prince Jing is seven feet tall, and just by looking at his stature, you can tell that he is not Prince Jing.
Not long after, several more people came out carrying a cloth bag. Yun Shang shook his head. This time, he was not bad in height, but he was fatter.
After a long time, two people opened the door again and walked outside.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "Follow me..."
"Master, there is no one around..." Someone looked over, but did not see the cloth bag that should be there, and frowned.
A sharp light flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, "One of them has his mind controlled, but the way he walks is exactly the same as Prince Jing."
"Princess, how about we just go up and snatch the prince back?" the person behind said softly.
Yun Shang was stunned, but under such circumstances, she couldn't help laughing. What she said was like stealing a bride.
"We don't know how many people there are on the other side. We only have a few people. Don't confront them head-on. Follow them first to see where they are going. Don't try to scare them off."
Yun Shang followed the others and saw that they had successfully left the palace. After leaving the palace, there were a few more people, who seemed to be the people who were carrying the sacks earlier. Yun Shang smiled coldly and became more and more curious.
Who is it that is so bold and careful? (To be continued)
