Jing Wenxi originally wanted to speak, but when he heard what Yun Shang said, his expression paused for a moment before he looked at Yun Shang hesitantly and said, "I will obey the princess's words and wait here."
Yun Shang looked at Jing Wenxi deeply, turned around and pulled Jin Concubine into the palace. Jin Concubine's face was not very good, and she was a bit pale. As soon as she walked into the palace, she hurriedly went to the bedside to look.
After taking one look at the little baby, he saw that nothing was wrong before he pulled Yun Shang over and said, "You said it was Miss Jing who designed to harm Chen Xi. However, Chen Xi clearly showed chickenpox, which is not a poison..."
"Mother, if Jing Wenxi deliberately causes Chenxi to get chickenpox, the method is very simple. He only needs to expose the dirty clothes or things that the person who has chickenpox has touched to Chenxi. Chenxi will most likely be infected with chickenpox. Chenxi
Since he was just born, the body of a child is naturally not as good as that of an adult. Even a little bit of the things of a chickenpox patient may be easily infected by Chenxi." Yun Shang turned her eyes and looked at Concubine Jin, with a serious face, "As soon as Jing Wenxi comes.
, something like this happened to Chenxi, and I had to doubt her."
Concubine Jin was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, "Does Miss Jing like Prince Jing?"
Yun Shang paused and nodded, "Yes." But she said hurriedly, "It's just that, mother concubine, that's not why I'm suspicious of her. It's just that she came at a coincidental time. After she came, something happened to Chen Xi.
, I couldn’t think of a reason for her to do this before, but then I suddenly remembered that she likes the prince. Since she likes the prince, she naturally regards me as a thorn in her side, and it is normal for her to do that. Although Jing Wenxi seems to be a simple woman
, it’s just the daughters of the big families in the imperial city, how many of them are really as harmless as you see?”
Hearing this, Concubine Jin frowned slightly, "Since you knew she liked Prince Jing, why did you come in and why did you leave her outside? You knew Prince Jing was coming soon, so why did you create a relationship with Prince Jing for her?
A chance to get along?"
When Yun Shang heard Concubine Jin's question, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, "Because, I believe in the prince."
However, Concubine Jin didn't seem to think so. She pulled Yun Shang and sat down on the chair, "Shang'er, you and Prince Jing are newly married. It may be good that your relationship is temporarily stable, but the man has a philandering heart in his heart.
With his bad nature, Prince Jing is a good man. I hope you can catch him and don’t push him into the arms of other women so easily. It’s true that he may have you in his heart, but if there is a woman with good looks,
When someone embraces someone, very few people would choose to push her away because they always think that having three wives and four concubines is normal." As Concubine Jin spoke, her face darkened.
Yun Shang suddenly remembered that Qinyi once said that her mother-in-law and her father were childhood sweethearts, but because of the late emperor, she used the throne as a threat to force her father to marry Li Yiran, and her father obeyed. Later he became the throne as
After the emperor, there was no one to coerce her, except for the concubines in the harem. Qin Yi once said that the mother and concubine could bear Li Yiran's existence, because she knew that her father's marriage to Li Yiran was a helpless move, but the mother and concubine
But he couldn't accept it. Day after day, his father's palace became more and more full, and his father became more and more like a romantic emperor, who was equally exposed to rain and dew, and treated every concubine well.
I'm afraid that this move of mine will remind my mother-in-law of some of the things she experienced at that time, and she may have some feelings. Yun Shang thought about it, and took Jin Concubine's hand and said, "Mother-in-law, Chang'er has never been involved in emotional matters.
I don't want to force it. To be honest with my mother and concubine, Chang'er's love for the prince is not as deep as everyone imagined. Chang'er doesn't want to be trapped by love. If the prince really disappoints Chang'er, the most he can do is beg.
I have written a divorce letter and am living alone. Concubine, I have no obsession with feelings. If it is mine, I will cherish it. If it is not mine, I will not force it. Besides, I can protect myself now.
I can live a good life alone."
After hearing this, Concubine Jin fell silent again, and then said after a while, "Concubine Mother is worrying too much. Concubine Mother is not as transparent as Chang'er on some things, but Concubine Mother also hopes that Chang'er will be happy. As long as you feel happy
, that’s good.”
Yun Shang didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer. She remembered what the guard had said before, saying that his father was also in the palace, but he had just come in, but had not seen his father before, so he asked, "I just heard that my father was here, but it's just that
, why didn’t you see it?”
"Your father has something urgent to deal with in the study. I just saw that you were in a panic, but what happened?" Jin Fei replied.
Yun Shang did not hide anything, "Yes, Prime Minister Li has rebelled. Now he is leading the rebels all the way to Laifeng City. A few days ago, my father sent a letter to the prince, saying that he will return to the palace today. I am afraid that you and Li Jingyan will
When I ran into him, I hurried over on horseback, but fortunately you didn't return to the palace."
"Originally, I did return to the palace today, but Chen Xi suddenly fell ill and couldn't leave, so I had to stay." As Jin Fei said, Chen Xi on the bed began to cry. Jin Fei quickly held him in her arms and said,
Just as Shang was about to step forward, Concubine Jin stopped her, "You refused to listen and insisted on coming in. I can't help it, but you can't touch Chenxi no matter what."
Yun Shang looked at Chen Xi whose face was flushed. There were already blisters on his face, which looked a bit scary. Yun Shang frowned and said, "If Jing Wenxi follows what I said, Chen Xi should not touch him.
Everything in this palace that the morning light will come into contact with must be thrown away and replaced with new ones."
Concubine Jin nodded. Just as she said this, the door curtain was opened. Aunt Zheng walked in from the outside with a bowl of medicine. She was slightly startled when she saw Yun Shang, "Why did Princess Yun Shang come in? You
If you haven’t had acne before, don’t get infected, get out quickly.”
Yun Shang smiled at Aunt Zheng, "I've already come in, there's no point in going out. I just don't touch things that my brother has touched." Then she told her guess about Jing Wenxi.
, when Aunt Zheng heard this, her expression became solemn, "If it is what the princess said, it is very possible. Chickenpox mostly occurs in spring and winter. When pox occurs in summer, the slave feels something is unusual.
But it’s not like there’s no such precedent, so I didn’t think too much about it. The little prince has just turned one month old and is already weak, so the chance of getting infected by those unclean things is very high.”
He said with a bit of anger on his face, "I didn't expect that Jing Wenxi was so scheming. Miss Wu was so close to her. I immediately searched for anything in the palace that did not belong to the palace. If I found it,
Once the evidence is obtained, she will not be allowed to harm others again."
Yun Shang nodded. Aunt Zheng had been serving her mother and concubine. She also knew medicine and should be familiar with the things in the palace. Concubine Jin took the medicine bowl and carefully held Chen Xi and fed him to drink little by little.
, Chenxi was also well-behaved. She just cried for a while and then took the medicine obediently. Looking at that pitiful appearance, Yun Shang thought of her Huan'er again, and hurriedly lowered her head to cover the emotions in her eyes.
Aunt Zheng looked through the palace, but she didn't seem to find anything. She checked one by one again, and there was still nothing unusual. Yun Shang frowned, could it be that she was just overthinking it?
Jin Fei had finished feeding the medicine. Although Chen Xi was well-behaved, he was just a child who had just turned one month old. The medicine was all over his face. Jin Fei smiled and said, "Look at this child. After drinking the medicine, it was all over the place. With Chang."
It’s the same as when I was little.”
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth slightly and watched Concubine Jin take out the brocade handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe Chen Xi's mouth. Chen Xi smiled, grabbed the brocade handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth. Concubine Jin patted his face gently.
, chuckled and said, "Jinpa is not a delicious thing, but you can't eat it! I don't know why I like eating Jinpa so much. Every time I wipe his mouth, I always stuff it into his mouth."
Yun Shang's heart suddenly jumped, a bright light flashed in her mind, and she quickly stood up, "I understand."
Concubine Jin and Aunt Zheng looked at Yun Shang strangely. Yun Shang pointed to the brocade handkerchief in Concubine Jin's hand and said, "I know why I couldn't find anything in this house. Did Jing Wenxi use the brocade handkerchief?"
Have you wiped your mouth with Chen Xi?"
Concubine Jin and Aunt Zheng were startled. Thinking of Chen Xi's actions just now, their faces suddenly turned pale, "You mean, the problem lies with Jing Wenxi's brocade handkerchief?"
Aunt Zheng lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before she said, "Yes, I remember that when Miss Jing first came here, she used a water-pink brocade handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers. Two days later, she went to the city
After returning from shopping, she changed into a blue brocade handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms. The slave girl felt that the brocade handkerchief did not match the color of the clothes she was wearing that day, so she took a second look at it. Miss Jing also said to the slave slave, it is
She saw it when she went shopping and thought it looked pretty, so she bought it. The slave didn't raise any suspicion at that time, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that the green brocade handkerchief looks like it has been used for a while, and it doesn't look like it has been used for a long time.
It looked like it was newly bought. The cyan brocade handkerchief that Miss Jing has been using since then. Miss Jing seemed to like the little prince very much. The nanny who served the little prince that day also said that Miss Jing almost did all her work.
Grab it... Miss Jing will definitely have a chance after being with the young prince for so many days..."
Aunt Zheng's face turned green as she spoke, "It's my fault that I'm careless. I've always been afraid that something might happen to the little prince, so I pay special attention to the food, clothing, housing and transportation around him, but I never thought that something would go wrong in a place like that."
." After saying that, he stood up hurriedly, "Jing Wenxi just went to take a bath, so I went to have someone steal her brocade handkerchief quietly. I'll see if it's really because of the brocade handkerchief."
Concubine Jin saw that Aunt Zheng was very remorseful, so she quickly pulled Aunt Zheng over and said, "This matter is not your fault. Jing Wenxi is a thoughtful person with deep thoughts. Please investigate this matter clearly.
Don’t accuse people unjustly, let’s just pay more attention to Chenxi from now on.”
Aunt Zheng nodded and retreated.
Yun Shang is still lowering his head in thought. Although it has not yet been confirmed that it was Jing Wenxi who did it, Yun Shang is thinking in his heart. If it is as suspected, how deep should Jing Wenxi's mind be?
Pay attention to these small details and then make arrangements. Moreover, it is not easy to find the brocade handkerchief used by a person with chickenpox in such a short period of time. She suspected that someone was guiding Jing Wenxi behind his back.
She could never forget that in the palace, the queen told her so confidently that she would attack Concubine Jin and the young prince. Could this be what the queen was talking about? What if the queen took advantage of Jing Wenxi and arranged for someone to do it?
It's not impossible to help her.
Yun Shang thought about it, then spoke to Concubine Jin, left the inner hall, summoned the secret guards, and asked the secret guards to check who Jing Wenxi had come into contact with, where he had been, and what he had done in the past few days.
What happened?
She didn't dare to be careless anymore. In her previous life, she didn't even know how her mother and concubine got there. Now that she was reborn in this life, she would naturally protect the safety of her relatives.
Concubine Jin was afraid that chickenpox would be transmitted to others, so she only asked a palace maid who had had pox to wait in the palace. Although Concubine Jin did not let Yun Shang come into contact with the morning sun, it was okay to just do other things.
The day passed like this, and the sky gradually became dark, but she heard a knock on the palace door. Yun Shang frowned, and heard Jing Wenxi's voice coming from outside, with a bit of annoyance, "Princess
It was said that the prince would come today, but it was already dark and there was still no trace of the prince. Could it be that something happened to the prince?"
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Yun Shang's lips. She just said casually that if the prince came, he asked her to help convey the message. She actually kept waiting and asked him questions before he could wait.
Come.
"Perhaps I was delayed on the road. Your Majesty came with the soldiers. Nothing will happen. It's just that there are many of them, so they will move slower. It's not conducive to travel at night when it's dark. Maybe I'm looking for someone.
We have set up camp somewhere, and the talent will come tomorrow." Yun Shang answered casually.
But she was also a little worried. What she saw in the forest must have been reported to Prince Jing by the secret guards. What she saw today was that Li Jingyan and Xia Houjing were probably leading more than 40,000 people.
I don’t know if the secret guards have received reinforcements from Prince Jing.
Yun Shang summoned another secret guard to investigate Prince Jing's situation. As soon as Yun Shang finished giving his instructions, he faintly heard Jing Wenxi sighing through the door.
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh, how could she feel sad now?
As soon as the secret guard left, Yun Shang saw someone jumping in from the outside with Emperor Ning in his arms, and landed in front of Yun Shang. Yun Shang walked up quickly and said, "Father."
Emperor Ning was slightly startled when he saw Yun Chang, "Why is Chang'er here? Not with Prince Jing?"
Yun Shang said quickly, "Shang'er was worried about the mother and the emperor's brother, so she came to take a look. The mother and concubine said that the father had something urgent and went out, but what about Prime Minister Li?"
Emperor Ning glanced at the lit inner hall and nodded, "I'm going to take a look at Shujin and Chenxi first. You go to the study and wait for me." After saying that, he walked towards the inner hall.
Yun Shang knew that Emperor Ning didn't want Concubine Jin to worry, so she agreed and walked towards the study. There was a slight chaos in the study. Yun Shang saw a few maps and some books on the desk.
Yun Shang walked to the desk and looked at the map on the table. The maps included the border passes of Xia State, the border passes of Yelang State, and the border passes of Ning State. Yun Shang saw that Emperor Ning drew a circle on Lucheng of Xia State and placed it on Ning State.
A circle is drawn on the Kangyang.
Kangyang, Yun Shang also heard a lot from King Jing, so he only glanced at it briefly and then turned away. Xia Kingdom, Lucheng.
Yun Shang has also done some research on the Xia Kingdom recently, and knows that although Lucheng is the border of the Xia Kingdom, it is not adjacent to the Ning Kingdom. Lucheng is a seaside city, and there is a mountain between it and the Ning Kingdom. My father alone controls this Lucheng.
What was the purpose of drawing it out? Could it be that he wanted to cross the mountains from the sea and attack Lucheng directly?
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, but shook his head. Ningguo's maritime combat capability is not very good, and if it attacks Lucheng, the supply of combat readiness materials will be a big problem. However, the geographical location of Lucheng is good, and Lucheng is a road.
The strip-shaped city has the southernmost part facing the sea, and the northernmost part is almost deep into the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom. If captured, it would be a good way to ensure the supply of the army.
When Emperor Ning came in, he saw Yun Shang looking at the map in a daze. Emperor Ning paused slightly and said with a smile, "Look at you looking at it so seriously, but what did you see?"
Yun Shang said with a smile, "Shang'er saw that my father marked out Kangyang and Lucheng on these maps. The prince of Kangyang told Chang'er before that it is the gate of our Ning Kingdom. If Kangyang is lost, Kangyang will be the main gate."
After Kangyang, there was no geographical advantage for defense and no generals who could lead troops in battle. It was almost difficult to stop Xia's offensive. Moreover, although the generals guarding Kangyang now were veterans, they were just a little more aloof and arrogant.
Xia's military advisors are very aware of his weaknesses, and they are afraid they will exploit them."
Emperor Ning was a little surprised, "Prince Jing actually told you this?"
Yun Chang smiled and said, "It was just because I saw this place drawn on the prince's map that day, so I asked a few questions out of curiosity. Yun Chang'er also told the prince that the ancients said that women and villains are difficult to raise.
If my father sends me to oversee the army, I might be able to control General Qi Lang's problems. He is arrogant and arrogant, and I am even more arrogant than him. With my status, I am afraid that he would not dare to do anything to me."
Emperor Ning burst out laughing when he heard this, "It's not a bad move. But I see you were looking at Lucheng just now?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Yun Shang saw that my father had circled it, so he secretly speculated why his father had circled it alone."
Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh? Then tell me why?"
"Shang'er guessed that it should be because of the location of Lucheng. Lucheng is not a big city, and it is not eye-catching on the map. However, it is somewhat special. Its southernmost point is close to the sea, which is the border of Xia Kingdom.
The north is deep into the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom, and is only about 120 miles away from the Xia Kingdom Imperial City. If we can capture it, it will be just around the corner to approach the Xia Kingdom Imperial City." Yun Shang said softly.
Emperor Ning nodded, "Then why do you think no one has ever tried to capture a place like this?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "It is also because of its location. The mountains next to it are towering into the clouds. It is almost impossible to attack from the mountain side. And if it is passed by sea, water warfare will have great limitations. First of all, the ship's
Construction, selection of soldiers, and secondly, if we really attack from the water, combat readiness and supplies are also very big problems."
After hearing this, Emperor Ning fell silent and said after a while, "I thought you only knew about the fights in the house, just like other women. It's a pity that you are a woman." (To be continued)
