Qinyi took out the letter and handed it to Yun Shang. Yun Shang opened it and looked at it. After being silent for a while, he threw the letter into the charcoal basin and burned it.
"But what's the news?" Qin Yi saw this and asked quickly.
There was a strange expression on Yun Shang's face, which seemed to be a little relieved, but also a little unbelievable. After a while, she whispered softly: "It's the news from Wang Wanzhi, saying that the seventh prince and Su Ruhai have led troops to Lingxi City.
Out."
Qin Yi was stunned. This didn't seem to have much to do with the princess.
Yun Shang continued, "Xia Huanyu's so-called army of 500,000 people, the seventh prince and Su Ruhai brought only 150,000 people outside Lingxi City."
"Huh?" Qin Yi still didn't understand, and looked at Yun Shang blankly.
Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at the faint fire in the charcoal basin. There was also a ball of flame jumping in his eyes. After a while, Yun Shang said softly: "Generally, when two armies are fighting, they will falsely report the number of soldiers. For example, there are only
Eight hundred thousand, but claims to have a million troops, in order to deter the enemy. However, it cannot be too far apart. There will be many enemy spies in the army. If the difference is too far away, it will be very serious if they are discovered by the enemy.
It’s a dangerous thing.”
Yun Shang suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, as if she was very happy: "Therefore, since Xia Huanyu dares to shout that there are 500,000 troops, there should be at least 350,000 to 400,000, and definitely not 150,000
.Even if there are 350,000 people, where are the remaining 200,000 people? Who will lead them?"
The smile appeared on Yun Shang's face, but then disappeared suddenly, so fast that Qin Yi was a little confused.
"What's wrong? But what's wrong?" Qin Yi said quickly. As soon as she finished speaking, she found that Yun Shang's body was shaking slightly and her eyes were red.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, slave?" Qin Yi was also a little panicked.
Yun Shang raised her hand and grabbed Qin Yi suddenly, her voice a bit hoarse: "I understand."
"What?" Qin Yi was stunned, her eyes full of confusion.
Yun Shang bit her lip, and the hand holding Qin Yi suddenly loosened and dropped suddenly: "I know who poisoned Duke Hua and who took Liu Yinfeng away.
Later, who massacred Prince Rui's mansion and took the prince away."
Qin Yi was stunned. She never thought that Yun Shang was talking about this. There was no concealed surprise in her eyes: "Who is it?"
Yun Shang opened her mouth and was about to speak out when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the outer hall. Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then quickly retracted her hand, pretending that nothing had happened, and leaned on the soft couch to gently close her hand.
He closed his eyes and slowly calmed down his emotions.
"Princess, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake has been delivered." Cai Yi's voice came, gentle and courteous.
Yun Shang nodded and responded calmly: "Okay. Just send it over. Is Your Majesty in the Xiangzhu Palace?" After saying that, he slowly opened his eyes, and the turbulent emotions just now had been covered up by Yun Shang.
Under his calm gaze, there was no trace.
Caiyi nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty heard that the princess ordered someone to send it here, so he smiled and praised it, saying that he had eaten this sweet-scented osmanthus cake once in Yumanlou when he was in Ningguo. It was indeed delicious.
It was a rare delicacy. Then I ate some of it with Concubine Xiang. Concubine Xiang ate two and Your Majesty ate one."
"Okay, as long as your Majesty likes it." Yun Shang looked a little listless, as if he couldn't cheer up.
Cai Yi looked at the expressions of Yun Shang and Qin Yi, then said with a smile: "Why did the princess look so listless when she went to Ming Cui Palace? So what did the palace attendants in Ming Cui Palace see?"
"
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "The palace official said it was a little dark at night. She didn't see too clearly. She only saw a woman talking to Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu. Later she didn't pay attention and didn't know what happened.
What, the second time I saw them, I saw that Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu were missing, and Liu Gengyi followed the woman out of the East Side Hall."
Cai Yi's hands in her sleeves trembled slightly, and then she quickly asked: "This happened. Did the palace people see that woman's appearance?"
When Yun Shang heard Cai Yi's question, she raised her eyes and looked at Cai Yi, as if she was sizing him up in the dark. After a while, he said calmly: "It's a bit far away, so I can't see clearly. It's just that the palace man said the woman's
The figure looks familiar. She will definitely recognize it if she sees it again. I will send someone to talk to Qi Ruihai later and ask him to take the palace man around the palace to see what he might gain. This palace
There are many people in the palace, but if you really make up your mind to look for it, you should be able to find it. Many people in the palace thought it was me, so they asked Qi Ruihai to order the palace people to look for me. It's a pity that Qianzui hasn't found him yet.
, otherwise it would be able to help her get rid of her grievances."
Caiyi listened to Yun Shang's words and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, she smiled and agreed: "Yes, it would be nice if we could have a little drink."
Yun Shang had dinner and was ready to rest early. Qin Yi waited on Yun Sang and lay down on the bed. Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then said to Cai Yi: "Since you were sent here by Mr. Liu, now Qin Yi
If you are not here, I will treat you as someone I trust. You will stay in the dormitory tonight."
A flash of astonishment flashed across Cai Yi's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head and responded softly: "Yes."
Qinyi was also stunned, and was about to speak, but Yun Shang had already raised her head and looked at her: "Qinyi, please talk to Caiyi about what you need to pay attention to. If you are always the only one on duty at night, what will happen to your body?"
I can’t stand it either.”
When Qinyi heard what Yunshang said, she nodded gently and gave Caiyi instructions one by one. Caiyi also listened carefully, then put down the curtain on the bed first, and then hugged a baby from the compartment.
The quilt was spread out on the soft couch.
Qin Yi nodded and lowered her voice, "Then I'll go out first. You should pay more attention."
Caiyi quickly responded. Qinyi blew out all the lights everywhere, leaving only the dimmest light, and then retreated.
Caiyi lay down on the soft couch, looking at the palace lantern that was still there. After being silent for a long time, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she pulled up the quilt to cover her body, and looked at the eyes.
Covered by hatred.
The night was getting darker, and it started to rain lightly outside. There was silence all around. Yun Shang's somewhat confused voice came from behind the bed curtain, "Why is it raining again? It's really a bad weather."
Caiyi was stunned for a moment, then softly responded: "Yeah, but luckily it's at night. I hope it won't rain during the day tomorrow, otherwise it will be a little troublesome to go out."
Yun Shang snorted softly and said softly: "It's just because it's at night that it's so bad."
Because the voice was too low, Cai Yi could not hear Yun Shang's words clearly. Cai Yi was stunned and did not ask after all. After a while, Yun Shang's breathing gradually became softer.
The rain gradually became heavier, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the house clearly, and then a thunder struck down suddenly. Caiyi kept her eyes closed tightly, but her body was trembling slightly, but she concentrated all her energy.
He paid close attention and listened carefully to the breathing sounds of Yun Shang in the room and Qin Yi in the side room. The breathing sounds were very light and even.
Cai Yi listened carefully for a long time, and the thunderstorm outside the window gradually became smaller. Cai Yi's eyes flashed with anger, and he raised his hand to hold the hairpin under the pillow, quietly stood up, and
Without wearing any shoes, she walked in front of the bed curtain and stood for a long time. The sound of breathing coming from behind the bed curtain was always very soothing. Caiyi raised one hand, lifted up the bed curtain, and hid the other hand under the bed curtain.
He stood behind his back, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and held the hairpin in his sleeves tightly.
The bed curtain was opened, and Cai Yi saw Yun Shang sleeping on the bed, with her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was not sleeping peacefully. Cai Yi raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, clenched the hairpin in her hand,
After looking around for a moment, he slowly stretched out the hand hidden behind his back. He raised his hand and suddenly dropped it, stabbing the sharp hairpin into the chest of the person on the bed.
Just when the hairpin was only two inches away from Yun Shang, Yun Shang, who had been sleeping deeply with her eyes tightly closed on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and quickly reached out to grab Cai Yi's hand holding the hairpin. Cai Yi's hand held the hairpin.
Yi was startled, and was about to fight to the death, desperately trying to push the hairpin down, but found that her hand was tightly grasped, her arm was a little sore, and she couldn't move.
Only then did Cai Yi's eyes flash with fear, and he couldn't help but stare at Yun Shang with his eyes wide open: "You actually know martial arts?"
Yun Shang sneered, "I never said that I don't know martial arts." As Yun Shang said, he raised his foot and kicked Cai Yi hard, hitting Cai Yi in the stomach. Cai Yi felt the pain and bent over.
, the hairpin in his hand fell on the quilt.
Qin Yi, who was in the next room, heard the noise, so she quickly put on a coat and ran in from the outside. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she looked at the situation. Qin Yi was also stunned and looked at Yun Shang.
"Qin Yi, come here." Yun Shang looked calm, turned her eyes and ordered Qin Yi.
Qinyi nodded quickly and walked to Yun Shang. Yun Shang raised his hand and slashed Cai Yi's neck. Cai Yi's eyes widened and his body went limp and fell to the ground. Yun Shang fell to the ground.
He raised his head and said to Qin Yi: "After I leave later, you shout that there is an assassin and call the guards. If the guards ask you where I have been, you can tell me that this assassin still has accomplices. I
After subduing her, he went after her accomplices."
Qin Yi was a little confused: "But I only saw Caiyi just now?"
Yun Shang smiled: "Just do as I tell you."
Hearing this, Qin Yi nodded quickly, and Yun Shang stood up, took a robe from the side, put the robe on her body, walked to the window, opened the window and wanted to go out.
"Princess, it's still raining outside, please wear more clothes..." Qin Yi was about to run to get some clothes for Yun Shang.
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh: "Have you ever seen anyone who got up in the middle of the night to chase an assassin and was fully dressed?" Then he jumped out of the window.
After a long while, Qin Yi raised her voice and shouted: "Here, there is an assassin!"
The sound of thunderstorms outside has become much quieter, and Qinyi's cry is particularly clear in the silent night. The messy footsteps echo in the Zhaoxia Palace... (To be continued)
