Yun Shang stretched out her hand to lift Qin Meng's chin, with a playful smile on her lips, "Why do I think Meng Jieyu's words are so unbelievable? Meng Jieyu was the empress in the beginning.
Later, because the queen abandoned you, you came to ask me to save you, and I saved you. You said that from then on, you would only listen to me. However, you were pregnant but you hid it from me.
Princess, you are also cooperating with the Queen. If I hadn’t found out earlier, I might have been bitten by you at some point. Do you think a person who is so swaying around can still be trusted?"
A flash of panic flashed in Qin Meng's eyes, and she opened her mouth, but no words came out. She looked at Yun Shang with tears in her eyes.
"Do you want me to save the child in your belly?" Yun Shang let go of her chin, leaned on the chair, and did not look at Qin Meng again.
Qin Meng fell softly to the ground and nodded, her voice a little hoarse, "Please, Princess, save the child."
Yun Shang took out a small bottle from her waist, poured out a black pill, and handed it to Qin Meng, "This is a poison. It attacks once a month. Although it is poison, as long as you take the antidote on time, it will be effective for you."
You have little impact on the fetus in your belly. If you have any unwanted intentions, you will have to suffer the consequences. If you want to keep your child, then eat it. If
If you doubt what I said, I have never been here before."
Qin Meng raised her eyes and her eyes fell on Yun Shang's hand. After being silent for a long time, she stretched out her hand, took it tremblingly, and swallowed it quickly.
Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "That's right. These days, I have hardly asked you to do anything. Now, it's time to see whether you are loyal or not. You must have had some problems with the Queen after you have been by her side for so many years.
My own people..."
Qin Meng was shocked and shook her head. She was about to speak, but she gritted her teeth and did not speak. Yun Shang smiled coldly and said, "Your mission is very simple. It is to convince the queen that Princess Hua Jing has been killed by this princess."
Already."
Qin Meng raised her eyes and looked at Yunshang, "Princess Huajing?"
"Yes, Princess Hua Jing. The servants in Princess Hua Jing's house are all people planted by this princess. They have poisoned Princess Hua Jing a long time ago, but the poison is slow and has been hidden. The poison accumulates over time, Hua Jing
The princess was kidnapped by Cang Jue Qingsu, and she is afraid that she will be dead before she leaves the Ning Kingdom." Yun Shang smiled slightly, "That's what I should say, but how you want to convince the queen is your business."
Qin Meng lowered his head and said nothing, and Yun Shang stood up and said with a smile, "Don't have any other thoughts. I'm afraid you don't know. All the people in your palace belong to this princess. You
Do you think that this princess is really that stupid and you will believe me if you come here to express your sincerity? Since I dare to push you to your current position, I am not afraid of you making trouble."
Qin Meng's eyes were full of horror when she looked at Yun Shang. How could this happen? She clearly remembered that it had only been less than a year since the princess returned to the imperial city, and she had been in poor health before.
Look. However, she has silently changed the people in her palace. How did she do it?
Yun Shang didn't care what Qin Meng was thinking at the moment. He just turned around and glanced at her, then walked out from the main hall door in a swagger. Qin Yi heard a uniform voice coming from outside, "This subordinate has met the master."
This voice was like a soul-stirring song, causing Qin Meng's originally strong will to completely collapse. This man was only fifteen years old...
After Yun Shang came out of Qin Meng's palace, she called the secret guards and left the palace through the secret passage.
King Jing stood in the room looking at a map in a daze. Yun Shang asked the secret guards to disperse before walking over. He saw that the map seemed to be a map of the border with Xia State. Xia State was in the south of Ning State, where it bordered.
There are several big mountains. To the north of the mountains is the Ning Kingdom, which is inevitably the Xia Kingdom. There are three cities backing the mountains, namely Jingyang, Kangyang, and Dexi. Yun Shang saw that Kangyang was heavily circled on the map.
"Xia Kingdom has begun to attack the city?" Yun Shang asked.
Prince Jing turned his eyes, took Yun Shang in his arms, and said softly, "You're back? Is it going well?"
Yun Shang nodded and continued to ask, "What was the prince looking at just now?"
King Jing lowered his head and pointed at the map and said, "Xia's army has crossed these mountains and is approaching these three cities. According to the battle report, they are divided into three groups. The 500,000-strong army is headed for Kangyang under the command of the prince.
Jingyang and Desi were approached by 250,000 soldiers led by veterans Lin Yu and Zhan Yang respectively."
Yun Shang was shocked, but now the Ning Kingdom was under attack from both sides. The imperial city was controlled by Prime Minister Li, and the Yelang Kingdom was at war with them from behind. The Xia Kingdom had a million-strong army in the south.
"Who are the generals guarding the three cities of Kangyang, Jingyang and Dexi?" Yun Shang asked softly.
King Jing was silent for a moment and then said, "Kang Yang is General Qi Lang, Jing Yang, and Desi are two generals under me: Zhang Qi and Wei Nan. I trust the combat skills of those two people under me, but Qi Lang
..." Prince Jing paused, "Qi Lang was once a veteran of the late emperor's command. There was nothing to say in the war, but he was extremely conceited and was afraid he would suffer a loss. There is a river blocking the two cities of Jingyang and Dexi, but
After Kangyang, there is a plain. If Kangyang is lost, the Xia army can reach the imperial city smoothly."
Yun Shang frowned slightly, "The Xia army has a million troops, but how many soldiers can we fight at the border?"
"Eight hundred thousand." King Jing frowned, "Ningguo is a big country, but it is vast in territory and has many places to defend on the border. The troops are relatively scattered. In addition, there are nearly a million troops on the battlefield in the north, and slightly smaller in the south.
A little weaker. However, the entire Ning Kingdom can still dispatch nearly 500,000 troops to support, but it will take at least nearly three months to organize food and grass and mobilize the army. The front line may not be able to wait. "
After a pause, he sighed again and said, "If I were... the chance of winning would be better, but the current situation in the imperial city... I can't leave no matter what. So I can only... wait.
Let’s take a look at the situation…”
Yun Shang also fell silent, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Originally, she was very optimistic, thinking that everything would be fine after the matter in the imperial city was resolved, but she did not expect that the current situation would be so...
So complex.
Seeing her solemn look, Prince Jing smiled and folded the map, "Things have not gone so bad that they are irreversible. We had settled the matter in the imperial city earlier, so I rushed to the border as quickly as possible.
There are still 800,000 troops at the border, and they can still hold on for a while, so don’t worry."
Yun Shang nodded, his eyes fell on the closed map, and he didn't move away for a long time.
"You hurried back today and hurried back to the palace. I'm afraid you're tired. You should rest early." Prince Jing said with a smile, "It won't be long before the soldiers and horses arrive at the city. We'll stay put for the next few days. Look.
That's it. When the troops arrive, we'll go in and take the head of that old thief Li Jingyan."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled slightly and said, "Okay." Then she turned around and went into the inner room to rest.
Early the next morning, when I woke up, I heard voices coming from outside the house, "Recently, there were three big families in the imperial city that were wiped out by that old man. Now everyone in the imperial city is in danger. Your Majesty, you
Why don't you let your subordinates simply go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take the old man's life? The old man actually said in the court today that the emperor is already in his hands and is on his way to the imperial city.
Put your fucking bullshit!"
"That's right! When those traitors and traitors heard this, they all shouted long live to the old man, and said something about asking the old man to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Is he worthy? The prince didn't even say such a thing, he
What qualifications do you have to say?" Another voice came, with a "bah" sound.
"My lord, why don't you take this opportunity to kill that old man and ascend the throne yourself. The general has always felt that the only person who is most qualified to be emperor in Ningguo is your prince."
Yun Shang was shocked, closed her eyes, and felt a wave of shocking emotions in her heart. If even Prince Jing took the opportunity to rebel, wouldn't it be even worse?
Yun Shang held her breath and listened to the movement outside.
"Don't let me hear such words again. If you talk nonsense next time, don't blame me for being rude." Prince Jing's cold voice came.
Yun Shang heard the voice that had previously asked Prince Jing to ascend the throne again. "Why is this, Your Majesty? I will remember that when we were at the border before, Your Majesty clearly had this intention. Your Majesty..."
Halfway through the words, there was suddenly no sound. Yun Shang's heart was high in the sky, she bit her lip, feeling frightened.
"Tell Wang Jinhuan to move faster. I got the news this morning. Although Kang Yang is leading the army, he is the prince, but the supervising army is Liu Yinfeng, the former military advisor of Hua Guogong, Xiahou Jing's army. He is really powerful, and Qi Lang
I am very familiar with the combat tactics. I originally thought that if the Crown Prince of Xia led the army, there would be no problem for Qi Lang to sustain it for two months. But now I have to think about it again. If the opponent is the Crown Prince of Xia and joins
With Liu Yinfeng and Qi Lang's temperament, I don't know if I can survive for a month."
People outside responded one after another and discussed for a while, but they did not talk about letting Prince Jing ascend the throne. Yun Shang bit her lip and nestled in the bed, feeling a little confused in her heart.
After a long time, she heard footsteps walking towards the inner room. Yun Shang knew it should be Prince Jing. After a moment of silence, she finally opened her eyes and looked towards the door.
Prince Jing seemed not to have thought that Yun Shang had woken up. He paused slightly and was silent for a moment before walking to Yun Shang's bedside again, "Did you hear everything?"
Yun Shang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Does the prince want to ascend the throne and become emperor?"
Prince Jing's eyes fell on Yun Shang's face, he stretched out his hand and touched her head and said, "I don't think much about it now. No one can tell clearly what will happen in the future."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, "Why?"
Prince Jing sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Probably because I want to be the emperor just because I feel that there is nothing to do and my life is a little boring. But now, after marrying you, I will
I think it's not bad to live a small life with you like this. If in the future, one day I feel that it's not interesting anymore, I will have such thoughts again."
Yun Shang looked at Prince Jing with wide eyes, feeling that his explanation was extremely ridiculous.
"Are you kidding me, Your Majesty?" Yun Shang frowned.
Prince Jing smiled, rubbed Yun Shang's soft hair again, and squinted his eyes, "If you have my experience, you will feel that everything I say is true. In fact, sometimes I feel that I
I am very lucky. I was just an abandoned child at first, but because of meeting the late emperor, I became Prince Jing, who is worthy of one person and surpasses ten thousand people. The late emperor was kind to me in raising me, so I accepted him and helped protect his son.
Living in these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. But later, because of the emperor's brother's suspicion, and because he was a little tired of the day-to-day wars at the border, he thought about whether he would have new fun if he took the position of the master. In fact,
, I had some thoughts like that when I returned to the Imperial City, but I didn’t want to meet you and discovered some new fun. If I really took that position, I’m afraid you would probably hate me.
, I still care about you now, so I don’t want to make you unhappy. If one day, I don’t care about you anymore, maybe I will think about it..."
Yun Shang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Why did he still care about himself, so he didn't want to make himself unhappy? Only Prince Jing could say such ridiculous things.
Yun Shang gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Then the princess should thank the prince. I hope the prince will always care about me."
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and actually nodded, "What the princess said is true, so I hope that the princess can always attract my attention and make me care about her."
Yun Shang's voice became hoarse, and after a while she said again, "Is that person named Liu Yinfeng so powerful?"
Prince Jing did not care that she suddenly changed the topic, nodded and said, "That is indeed a powerful person. He is extremely good at studying the opponent's combat patterns and finding flaws in them. Even I, the king, suffered from him a few years ago.
I have suffered a lot of losses.”
Yun Shang sat up and looked at Prince Jing with burning eyes, causing Prince Jing to frown, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Your Majesty, I want to go to Kangyang." Yun Shang said with a smile.
"..."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Yun Shang took his hand again and said, "I want to go to Kangyang."
"What are you going to do? To die?" Prince Jing was unmoved.
Yun Shang couldn't help but feel angry and snorted, "It makes sense for me to want to go. You said that Qi Lang is an extremely conceited person. Such a person cannot listen to other people's opinions. But, I am a woman.
, a princess, or a princess. The prince must not know that few people can resist a woman's unreasonableness. You said that Liu Yinfeng is extremely good at studying the opponent's combat patterns. That's because our Xia Kingdom's main general
Those few have rich combat experience, but that leaves Liu Yinfeng with a way to find patterns. If he is a completely new general who has no rules at all, then he will have no rules to find."
"Nonsense." Prince Jing patted Yun Shang's head, stood up, ignored Yun Shang, and walked to the desk to look at the map again.
Yun Shang knew that he would not agree, so she thought about it, then stood up and walked to King Jing's side, looked at the map with him, and asked the secret guard to collect the information about the three cities and several generals on both sides.
He took them all over, sat down on a chair nearby and looked through them.
It was a very peaceful day, and there were only three pieces of news that could be considered news.
First, rumors suddenly spread in the palace that Prime Minister Li had rebelled, and many people in the court were affected. Most of the family members of the concubines were serving in the court, and people in the palace were panicked for a while.
Second, Xia Houjing was sitting in the Prime Minister's mansion, and was seen by Cang Yang Yu'er who was walking in the mansion. Cang Yang Yu'er took the initiative to seduce Xia Hou Jing regardless of her pregnancy, with her clothes half off, and was seen by Prime Minister Li.
Yang Yu'er was beaten half to death by Prime Minister Li, and the child in her belly was naturally gone.
The third one also happened in the palace. It was said that there was a sudden ghost in the palace. She cried sadly in the middle of the night, and her voice sounded very much like Princess Huajing.
After hearing this, Prince Jing sighed as he looked at Yun Shang who was sitting on the chair as if he had not heard anything. He shook his head and did not speak after all.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. For someone like Prince Jing, who has been at the border all year round and doesn't even have a maid in his house, he naturally doesn't know that a woman who seems to be just crying, making trouble, and hanging herself can sometimes have no effect.
It's very big.
On the third day, some rumors suddenly spread in the city, saying that King Jing and Emperor Ning were on their way back to the city with their troops and horses, and would be able to reach the imperial city in less than three days.
Amid the rumors, the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely quiet, and Li Jingyan, who originally went to the mansion to visit officials of the DPRK and Central Government in person almost every day, never left the house.
For several days, there was silence in the imperial city.
On the night of the eighth day, Yun Shang took the secret guards to the palace again. Yun Shang ordered the secret guards to evade the soldiers patrolling the palace and bring the concubines and concubines to Qingxin Hall.
The concubines were all extremely frightened when they were kidnapped by the men in black to the Qingxin Palace, but when they saw Yun Shang in the palace, they all stopped and asked hurriedly, "Princess, what on earth is going on?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly and looked across the crowd, "Have you ever heard the news that Prime Minister Li has rebelled?"
Many concubines looked at each other and nodded.
"That's it. Prime Minister Li has rebelled. Now the palace has been surrounded by his people. In two days, the soldiers and horses of the father and the prince will be able to reach the city. Prime Minister Li has always thought that his conspiracy has not been exposed. Father
Even the emperor doesn’t know. Therefore, when the soldiers and horses surrounded the city, Prime Minister Li panicked, fearing that he would take you as hostages to threaten his father, so I quietly entered the palace in advance and took you out of the palace."
Yun Shang looked at the pills in her hands that had fallen off due to not taking care of them for many days. Her voice was very soft but also very calm, "Do you want to stay in the palace or go out of the palace to take refuge with me?"
"I will leave the palace with the princess..." Yaconi spoke up first, and Qinmeng also spoke out. With these two people setting an example, many people naturally agreed.
Yun Shang smiled and asked the secret guards to lead them quietly out of the palace.
After all the concubines left, Yun Shang stayed and headed towards Qiwu Palace... (To be continued)
