Yun Shang smiled softly, "Master Liu came here today just to catch up with me, right?"
Liu Yinfeng looked at Yun Shang quietly, and said after a while, "I came here this time for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince of our country. There must have been some misunderstanding about what happened last night..."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "I'm just Princess Jing. I only know that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who brought someone here last night, hijacked our carriage, and took us to a less crowded alley.
, wants to kill. I don’t know what misunderstanding there is, but if there is a misunderstanding, the Minister of Dali Temple will definitely clear His Highness the Crown Prince of your country, so Military Advisor Liu does not have to worry."
When Liu Yinfeng heard this, he didn't speak anymore. After a while, he said, "Since the princess said so, I will leave first. Your Highness, I hope the princess will take care of you more."
Yun Shang was a little strange. It seemed that Liu Yinfeng was here to reminisce with him, and Xia Houyan's matter was only mentioned in passing. However, he still had a light smile on his face and greeted the housekeeper who had been guarding the door of the front hall.
, "Steward, please send Military Advisor Liu off for me."
After seeing off Liu Yinfeng, Yun Shang stood in the front hall for a while, and then saw Qianyin walking in. Every morning, Qianyin would always go to the secret guard to collect the news from the previous day, and then put it all together
Report to Yunshang.
"Princess, this servant asked Qian Shui. She said that the crystal walking wave was bought by a masked woman. She didn't see who it was, but judging from her stature and walking posture, she should be in her twenties.
A woman of next year." Qianyin said softly, paused, and then talked about another thing, "Jing Wenxi will go to Qianshui Pavilion around Shen time every afternoon in the past few days, and stay for about an hour every day before leaving."
Yun Shang nodded. The woman in her twenties must not be Jing Wenxi. Ning Huajing had just returned to the imperial city not long ago, so she shouldn't be either. Who is that?
Jing Wenxi went to Qianshui Pavilion every day. What did she and Ning Huajing discuss? Yun Shang sneered, no matter what they discussed, I'm afraid it was not a good thing for her. Neither of those two women
What kind of trouble, it seems that she has to be prepared. Before, she had learned the way of Ning Huajing, but in this year, her wings have become much fuller, and after being baptized on the battlefield, she sees things more comprehensively.
Ning Huajing wants to plot against her, but it’s difficult!
"Today at Chenshi, I'll go take a look for myself." Yun Shang said calmly and stood up.
Before walking out of the front hall, a decree came from the palace, summoning Princess Jing to enter the palace. Yun Shang nodded, turned to Qianyin and said, "You don't have to follow me into the palace, go back and talk to Prince Jing, and then
Go do something for me."
Hearing this, Qianyin quickly leaned into Yun Shang's ear, listened to Yun Shang's instructions, nodded and retreated.
When they arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Ning was not the only one in Qinzheng Hall, but Jing Kui was also there. Yun Shang stepped forward and saluted. Emperor Ning said calmly, and Yun Shang stood up and stood quietly.
aside.
Emperor Ning and Jing Kui were discussing the ceremony for the conferment of the queen. Yun Shang listened for a long time and realized that because the minister of rites was the elder brother of the concubine, it was inconvenient to prepare for the ceremony. Jing Kui took the initiative to ask for orders and took over the matter.
passed.
Yun Shang glanced at Jing Kui's slightly fat body, and then moved away quietly, feeling a little funny in her heart, fearing that this was also a kind of test. It was Emperor Ning's test of Jing Kui, and it was also a test of Liu Qiyan.
, even with the temptation of Yun Shang.
Jing Kui and Jing Wenxi tried every possible means, and even used some means, to achieve great success. While they helped themselves become the prime minister, they also wanted to help Jing Wenxi become a junior. Jing Kui got the idea.
I am afraid that it is the position of the prince. Now that Emperor Ning's children are the prince except Chen Xi, no one else can compete for the position of the prince. If Jing Wenxi enters the palace and successfully gives birth to the prince...
What Jing Kui never thought was that, despite all his calculations, he never predicted that Yun Shang would take action. Although the sacrifice seemed to be predicted by Taoist Ling Xuzi and Abbot Wu Na, if he thought about it carefully, he knew that Yun Shang would definitely take action.
There was some manipulation in it, and the abbot Wu was originally one of Yun Shang's people. Ling Xuzi probably only agreed to him on the surface, but in fact he was bribed by Yun Shang.
Jing Kui regretted the idea of asking Ling Xuzi to do the calculation, but it was a pity that it had come to this...
Regarding the blood-stained edict, I don't know whether it was Liu Qiyan or Yun Shang who took action. If it was Yun Shang, why did he push Liu Qingya to the position of queen? If it was Liu Qiyan, where did he get such tricks?
Jing Kui took the initiative to take over the preparations for the Queen's Ceremony, just to see if he could find some clues and never return Jing Wen's innocence.
"Well, you can make your own decisions about these trivial matters. There is no need to come to the palace to ask me about everything." Emperor Ning said calmly, his eyes falling on Yun Shang who was dazed beside him. After a moment of silence, he waved.
He waved his hand and told Jing Kui to retreat.
"Shang'er looks a little listless, what's wrong?" After Jing Kui retreated, Emperor Ning walked out from behind the court case and walked up to Yun Shang and asked.
Yun Shang lowered her head and said calmly, "Nothing, I'm just a little tired from a lot of things that happened recently."
When Emperor Ning heard this, his eyes fell on Yun Shang's face. He looked at her carefully for a moment and saw that her expression was indeed a little pale. He finally couldn't bear it and said, "Prince Jing is injured. Thank you for your hard work."
Yun Shang shook her head, "Taking care of the prince is what I should do, but now that Emperor Xia said that at the palace banquet last night, I'm afraid everyone will be suspicious of the prince. The prince is the God of War of Ningguo. If this matter spreads,
If I go out, I'm afraid it will shake people's hearts."
Emperor Ning was silent for a moment and then said, "I heard from Prime Minister Jing earlier that there were rumors in the imperial city that Prince Jing was the eldest prince of the Xia Kingdom, and he also made up some untrue rumors." Emperor Ning saw Yun Shang lifting his head.
She started to look at him and smiled gently, "But I have reached an agreement with the Emperor of Xia. Within a hundred years, Xia will never send troops to Ning. I hope it can stabilize the people's hearts a little."
After saying that, he asked again, "You told me that Prince Jing is the child of Queen Xia. You and Prince Jing should have been prepared for this matter. What are your plans?"
Yun Shang was silent for a moment before saying, "My prince and I actually knew about this not long ago. My father should also know that when my son was in Kangyang, Xia Houyan, the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom, suddenly led an army of 400,000 to besiege Kangyang outside the city.
Jingyang, the city of Jingyang was almost destroyed and people were killed. At that time, the prince and his ministers felt that no matter what, the prince of the Xia Kingdom took this step, it was very inappropriate. At that time, the Duke of Hua Kingdom was in the Xia Army camp outside Jingyang City.
, asked the prince out, and told the prince about the matter. He said that Xia Houyan suddenly led troops to attack. I am afraid that he was worried that the prince's life experience would be exposed and his position as prince would not be guaranteed, so he took this step."
"But later in the Battle of Jingyang, the prince was seriously injured and remained unconscious. After waking up, the ministers were worried about the prince, so they never asked him what his plans were. Until yesterday, the Emperor of Xia suddenly mentioned it at the palace banquet
This matter was later assassinated when we left the palace. The prince was in a bad mood, and I did not dare to mention it..."
There was some contemplation in Emperor Ning's eyes, and he smiled after a while and said, "Since Prince Jing is the prince of Xia Kingdom, it is appropriate to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan." After saying that, Emperor Ning bent down slightly again and looked at Yun Shang.
He whispered in his ear, "Shang'er, you are my father's daughter, and my father will definitely not harm you. If King Jing recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, with King Jing's ability, he will have the throne of Xia Kingdom at his fingertips. If he
Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, you must firmly hold the position of the Queen of the Xia Kingdom in your hands."
When Yun Shang heard this, she trembled slightly and raised her eyes to look at Emperor Ning with a bit of confusion in her eyes.
Emperor Ning chuckled lightly, stood up straight, and his eyes fell on the carved dragon and phoenix patterns on the pillars beside him, "You have always been an extremely smart child, much smarter than my father imagined. You know how to be patient and understanding.
Cover up the edge. Ningguo and Xiaguo have been fighting for hundreds of years, and every battle has buried thousands of Ningguo soldiers. If you become the queen, there will definitely be a way to make Luo Qingyan agree, and the two countries will coexist peacefully from now on.
Fighting every year, it is the common people who suffer..."
Emperor Ning sighed and said slowly, "As an emperor, all I hope is that there will be no war, the people will live happily, and the Ning Kingdom will prosper. If you agree to this, I will promise you that the next emperor of the Ning Kingdom will definitely be
Morning light."
"Father..." Yun Shang chewed the meaning of Emperor Ning's words carefully, but was a little hesitant. Emperors all hope that the people will live happily and the country will be prosperous. This is true, but many emperors also hope to unify the world and become the real one.
The true lord of the world. What she fears is that one day, her father or her husband will have such thoughts...
"The identity of the prince is still unclear. It seems too early to mention this matter at this time. Moreover, the Xia Kingdom now has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know what the prince is thinking. I hope that the prince will
Just be an idle person and live a peaceful life. I don't like those struggles and laborious work..." Yun Shang said with a bit of timidity, paused, and then said, "If the prince really has that plan,
Ningguo is the place where I was born and raised. I have my father, the emperor, my mother, my concubine, and my young brother. Naturally, I will do my best to keep Ningguo stable."
Hearing this, Emperor Ning smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, with Chang'er's words, my father will feel relieved."
Emperor Ning was very interested. He held Yun Shang and talked for a long time before letting Yun Shang leave. As soon as he walked out of the Qinzheng Hall, Yun Shang saw Aunt Zheng standing by. Seeing Yun Shang come out, he greeted her with a smile.
He came up and said, "The empress knew that the princess had entered the palace, so she asked her servant to wait here. When the princess comes out, she will take her to the Splendid Palace."
Only then did a sincere smile appear on Yun Shang's face, "It's better for you, concubine. What delicious food have you prepared?"
Aunt Zheng laughed when she heard this, "But Prince Jing didn't give the princess food? Look at the princess, she really looks like a greedy cat. Don't worry, everything prepared is what the princess likes."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded, then followed Aunt Zheng to the Jinxiu Palace.
Chen Xi seemed to have just woken up and was still crying. Concubine Jin was holding her and walking back and forth in the palace, coaxing her softly. Yun Shang came up and touched Chen Xi's face, "Sister is here, stop crying..."
"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xi really stopped crying. Concubine Jin and Yun Shang looked at each other and said with a smile, "It seems like your sister is the one who works. I've been coaxing you for a long time and ignored me." Concubine Jin handed Chen Xi to her mother.
Mammy, she pulled Yun Shang over and said, "Yesterday at the palace banquet, I saw that Prince Jing didn't look very good. I heard that he was assassinated again that night. How is he doing now?" (To be continued)
