The night gradually darkened, and occasionally there were the footsteps of soldiers patrolling by. Hua Jing paced back and forth in the camp, seeming a little restless.
There was a "boom" sound, and Hua Jing was shocked and startled. He turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a small stone falling next to the table in the tent, rolling twice.
Then he stopped. Hua Jing looked around for a long time, then picked up the stone and broke it from the middle. There was a small piece of cloth hidden inside. Hua Jing took it out and unfolded it, and saw two lines of words written on it: Shi.
Day is running out, so act quickly.
Hua Jing gritted his teeth and put the strip of cloth into the sachet tied around his waist. He frowned. What should he do? Before he could think of a way to escape, Cangjue Qingsu came to urge him.
However, it was just an expedient for her to come to Ningguoying to help Cangjue Qingsu with work. After she instigated Cangjue Qingsu to write such a letter to her father that day, she knew that there could not be too many people in Yelang's army.
Du, if someone discovered that she was not Yun Chang after staying for a long time, Cang Jue Qingsu would definitely not bypass her due to his temperament, so she found a way to persuade Cang Jue Qingsu to let her come to the Ningguo Army.
He said that he could use his identity to do something for him, such as stealing military formations or drugging King Jing.
Although she agreed to Cang Jue Qingsu, she, Hua Jing, was still the Princess of Ning Kingdom and would never really do that. She just wanted to escape from Cang Jue Qingsu's control.
However, when I arrived here, I realized that I had thought everything too simply. Cangjue Qingsu not only arranged for people to guard outside the camp, but also had a lot of informants inside the camp. Almost every move he made was
Within his control.
"Princess..." A voice suddenly came from outside. Hua Jing was startled and turned around suddenly, "Who?"
There was silence outside, and then a voice came and said, "Princess, I am serving in Prince Jing's camp. The prince asked me to invite the princess to come over."
Prince Jing? Hua Jing squinted his eyes, with a bit of worry in his heart. Ever since he came to the camp, he had not sensed Prince Jing's guard against him. Every time he stepped into Prince Jing's tent, he would
Prince Jing didn't have a good look on him. Why did he suddenly call for someone today?
Hua Jing followed the soldiers to King Jing's tent and heard the faint voice of King Jing speaking from inside.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here." The soldier stood in front of the door and raised his voice. After entering Ningguo's tent, Hua Jing did not let the soldiers call her by her title, and only called her princess, fearing that Cangjue Qingsu's name would be introduced.
in the ears.
"Please." Prince Jing's deep and magnetic voice came from inside. The soldier opened the door for Hua Jing. As soon as Hua Jing stepped into the tent, his expression changed. In the tent, except for Prince Jing and the
Besides Mr. Xiao who was wearing a mask, there was another person, Zhao Yingjie’s mother.
Mrs. Zhao's expression was not very good either. She turned her eyes and glanced at Hua Jing, with a bit of ridicule in her eyes, "It turns out to be Princess Hua Jing."
Hua Jing gritted her teeth, smiled and walked in, "It turns out that the emperor's uncle has brought my mother-in-law over."
"Mother-in-law?" Mrs. Zhao smiled, "I can't bear this responsibility. In the imperial city, I entered the palace and asked the emperor to decree that the princess divorce her husband. Anyway, my son's life and death are uncertain now, so the princess divorces her husband.
My son is relieved."
Hua Jing secretly clenched her hands in her sleeves, but she remembered her mother's instructions before she left the palace. If she agreed to the old woman's request at this time, then the world would definitely point at Hua Jing's spine and scold her, saying that she was heartless and uncaring.
Yi, thinking of this, Hua Jing lowered her head, made a pitiful look, and said with a bit of sobs, "The prince-in-law's whereabouts are unknown now. It is understandable that my mother-in-law is sad, but at this time, my mother-in-law must not say this again."
That being said, the consort is missing. As her wife, I should naturally bear the responsibility together with my mother-in-law."
Yun Shang, who was sitting aside, raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said to himself, "I didn't expect that Hua Jing has grown a lot now."
Yun Shang glanced at the two of them, then smiled and said, "Yes, Mrs. Zhao, the whereabouts of the prince-in-law are unknown now. If the two of them start to argue again, wouldn't it be inappropriate? The princess is also very worried about the prince-in-law.
, after Mrs. Zhao left the imperial city, the princess followed her to the border to find her husband the next day. The people in the imperial city all praised the princess, saying that the princess was affectionate and righteous, and a friend in need was a friend indeed. But Hua
Princess Jing got lost on the road and just arrived at the border. Princess Hua Jing worked so hard, wouldn't it be inappropriate if Mrs. Zhao still blamed her?"
A smile appeared at the corners of Yun Shang's lips. Although she was speaking for Princess Hua Jing, how could someone like Mrs. Zhao not understand what Yun Shang meant? She immediately knew that Hua Jing was in such a hurry.
She left the imperial city on the pretext of looking for her consort, just because she wanted to gain a good reputation and have the world praise her. However, Hua Jing was delayed for such a long time on the road, which was probably intentional.
Mrs. Zhao's face suddenly became a little ugly, and she smiled coldly and said, "The Queen is truly worthy of being the mother of a country, and the daughter she teaches can win people's hearts like this."
Queen? She couldn't help but laugh when she mentioned Queen Yunshang, "Speaking of the Queen, something happened to the Queen at the Winter Solstice Ceremony a few days ago. I heard that she accidentally gave birth because she was hit by Concubine Shu.
Well, Concubine Shu was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor because of this." Yun Shang sighed, "Oh, it has been such a troubled time recently."
This time, not only Hua Jing, but also Prince Jing could not help but be stunned for a moment. After a long while, he heard Hua Jing suddenly say, "No, how could the queen have a miscarriage?"
Yun Shang pretended to be very pity, "The common people don't know very well. I only heard that something happened during the ceremony to worship the heaven."
Miscarriage? Hua Jing's face turned pale all of a sudden. How could it be possible? He still hoped that if his mother gave birth to a son, and if his father made him a prince, then he would never have to worry about it in the future.
But why did she have a miscarriage? No, I have to go back quickly.
Seeing Hua Jing's expression, Yun Shang smiled and thought in her heart, this is just the beginning, there will be many more days to come, but there is no expression on her face.
"Princess Huajing looked a little bad, so she went back to the camp to rest. There was no other woman in the camp except the princess. It happened that Mrs. Zhao also wanted to be the princess's companion, so she lived in the same camp.
Come and take Mrs. Zhao and the princess back to the camp." Prince Jing said in a loud voice.
The guards came in and took Mrs. Zhao and Hua Jing out. When only Prince Jing and Yun Shang were left in the camp, Prince Jing spoke quietly, "Concubine Shu was imprisoned in the cold palace? Princess, can you explain to me?
,What the hell is going on?"
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Concubine Shu was a subordinate of Prince Jing. However, he just heard what he said and concluded that the matter was related to him?
Yun Shang reached out to pick up the tea cup beside her, thinking about how to respond, but she heard Prince Jing sigh, "Concubine Shu has been in the palace for so many years, and I know a little bit about her behavior. I guess you were angry that day."
When Concubine Shu was dealing with the Queen, she took Concubine Jin with her."
Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat, and after a long while she said, "How can you be so sure that I did this?"
Prince Jing walked to Yun Shang and stood in front of her. He lowered his head and looked at Yun Shang's head. "Even if Concubine Shu wanted to target the child in the Queen's belly, why would she do it in public? Besides, the Queen will not be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life.
, how come it’s a miscarriage?”
Yun Shang was stunned and suddenly raised her head to look at Prince Jing, "What did you say? The Queen will never be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life?"
Yun Shang suddenly remembered that night when she heard Concubine Shu say that the Queen was pregnant, and Prince Jing had never given any instructions. When he went to Prince Jing's Mansion to find him that day, he said that the child in the Queen's belly was nothing for him to worry about.
It turns out that he had known for a long time that it was impossible for the queen to be pregnant?
"You...you did it?" Yun Shang asked.
Prince Jing did not answer, but raised his hand and patted Yun Shang's head, "It's getting late, you should rest early."
Yun Shang couldn't sleep, because her mind was filled with what Prince Jing had just said. The Queen couldn't get pregnant, and it must have been his fault. However, the Queen probably didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have faked the pregnancy.
Even if he comes out, his father should not know about it. But why would he tell himself?
Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at Prince Jing, only to see that he had returned behind the desk and picked up a book to read.
Early on the next morning, the atmosphere in the camp became a little tense. Before the morning drums sounded, King Jing didn't even put on his armor, so he hurriedly sent word to the generals in the camp that they had arrived at the commander's camp. No.
After a while, the entrance and exit of the camp were guarded, and no one was allowed to go out. Even the soldiers who were cooking in the kitchen were stopped when they wanted to go out to fetch water and cook.
Even if no one said anything, the soldiers in the camp felt the tense atmosphere one after another, as if something serious had happened.
Hua Jing also became inexplicably nervous and paced back and forth in the camp all morning.
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, "It's so noisy." Then she closed her eyes, took off the Buddhist beads from her wrist, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.
Seeing this, Hua Jing stamped her feet and walked to the gate of the camp. Seeing the soldiers patrolling back and forth, she grabbed one and asked, "What happened in the camp? I, the princess, have seen that you are patrolling more."
.”
When the soldier saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Reply to the princess. My subordinates don't know. I just heard from people that it seems that the cloth army map has been stolen. Prince Jing is in a hurry. He is afraid that the thief will steal the cloth."
Military figures took them out of the camp, so they were all put under martial law."
The map of Bujun was stolen? Hua Jing was shocked, how could it be possible? He hadn't even found out where the map of Bujun was? It was stolen? Who stole it? Now Ningguo is fighting against Yelangguo, so it must be
He is from the Yelang Kingdom. If others steal it, it will be of no use. If Cangjue Qingsu gets the army map, will it be detrimental to him?
Hua Jing felt panic in her heart. After thinking about it, she hurriedly walked towards Prince Jing's camp. However, there was no soldier outside the usually heavily guarded commander's camp. There was a faint sound coming from inside.
Hua Jing gritted his teeth, approached the tent, put his ear against the tent, and heard voices coming from inside, "The spy sent by the King of Japan to Yelang's army sent back a message saying that someone wanted to steal the map of the Bu Army.
, I have taken precautions early. As long as the news is spread that the formation map has been stolen, the people sent by the Yelang Army to steal the map will definitely think that we no longer have the formation map in hand, and they will not
I will put more thought into this matter. Maybe I will go back and resume my life."
Plot? Hua Jing was shocked. Could it be that this military plan...
"What the prince means is that the cloth army map was not actually stolen, but was hidden by the prince. I just don't know where the cloth army map is now?" A voice asked what Hua Jing wanted to know.
question.
"Of course it was hidden by me. No one would have thought that I would seal the military map on the door of my tent." Prince Jing's voice was a bit proud, "You just continue to let the soldiers block it.
They controlled the camp entrance and exit, and then transferred all the soldiers near my camp to make others think that the military plan was indeed no longer in my camp. At that time, as long as the people sent by Cangjue Qingsu showed their flaws, I
The king will be able to capture him."
Hua Jing held her hands tightly in her sleeves, fearing that others would see her, so she quickly left the commander's camp.
After sealing it on the door of the camp, Prince Jing's move was really clever. No one would have thought that Bujuntu would be there, at least he certainly wouldn't have thought that it would be there.
Hua Jing looked around and was about to walk into the military medical tent. When she reached the door of a tent, she saw that the tent door was suddenly opened. A hand stretched out, covered Hua Jing's mouth, and pulled her
He drew closer to the tent.
In Prince Jing's camp, the generals had already left. Yun Shang stood up and said, "Why did I see that there was an empty chair just now?"
Prince Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang and said, "Oh, Zhang Ying took leave early this morning. I asked his personal soldiers and they said he had diarrhea all night."
"Oh." Yun Shang nodded, took a book, walked to a chair nearby, opened it and started reading.
The camp became quiet, with only the sound of turning pages of books and the smoke rising from the incense burner.
After a long while, Yun Shang's soft voice was heard, "Cang Jue Qingsu, do you really believe the military deployment map that Hua Jing got?"
Prince Jing smiled slightly and said, "Why not, not all of the military deployment map is fake. After he gets it, he will definitely try it first. If he wants to try it, he will definitely choose the place closest to his garrison.
, there are indeed people in that place, but not many. Once he tastes the sweetness, he will naturally believe it."
Yun Shang was not as optimistic as Prince Jing seemed, because Yun Shang knew that in his previous life, Prince Jing had suffered losses at the hands of the third prince of Yelang Kingdom.
Just as Yun Shang was thinking about it, she heard a hissing sound. She looked up and saw that Prince Jing seemed to be trying to pick up the kettle on the table, but accidentally touched the wound on his arm. In order to be realistic in the morning,
For some, Prince Jing had only been wearing a white tunic until now. Yun Shang saw that the wound seemed to be torn, blood seeped out, and the clothes were stained with blood.
Yun Shang frowned and said quickly, "Your wound is open." After saying that, he walked over, lifted up his wide sleeves, untied the cloth, and saw that the wound that was deep enough to show the bone was torn open.
Yun Shang frowned again, walked behind the screen and took out a small white jade bottle, poured some powder on the wound, and then found a clean cloth to bandage the wound.
Yun Shang didn't see the smile on Prince Jing's lips. He just kept mumbling, "I've seen you act like a normal person these past two days. I thought the injury was not serious. I didn't expect it to be so deep. Don't do anything like this in the future."
It’s a heavy thing.”
"It's not that pretentious. It's just a small injury. I have suffered so many injuries like this. I can't count the scars alone. It's okay." Prince Jing twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm locked up here, where?
I was left to my own devices. I was lucky. I could still get bandaged. There was no fighting in the past two days, so I was able to rest for two days. Three years ago, when we were fighting in the north with the Xia Kingdom, I was shot with an arrow, and the pursuers were always behind me.
I was chasing him, but I didn't even have time to stop. It was still snowing, so I ran into a deep mountain and fainted in the snow. I survived the catastrophe. When I woke up, I still groped for my subordinates to help me.
The wound was not treated in time, and it turned into suppuration, which made me lie in bed for many days, and one of my arms was almost useless."
Yun Shang's heart tightened when she heard this, and she felt a little out of breath. She felt extremely uncomfortable. After a while, she reluctantly smiled and said, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later, but no matter what, you still have to take care of yourself.
Yes, living is the most important thing. If you don't cherish your body, it will only make those who care about you uncomfortable. So many scars are not good-looking. What should you do if your uncle has a princess in the future and the princess dislikes you?"
When Prince Jing heard this, he raised his head and looked at Yun Shang, "Huh? Dislike? It's okay. Doctor Xueyan has many medicines to remove scars. It's just..." Prince Jing smiled bitterly, "If you can't be with the person you like,
Then let the position of princess remain vacant, so that no one will dislike it."
Yun Shang's hand paused for a moment before tying a knot. He didn't answer, but said, "The wound can't touch the water. My medicine is much better than the military doctor's. Uncle Emperor, just take it and ask the military doctor to use this medicine."
"As he said that, he handed over the small white jade bottle in his hand.
Prince Jing did not take it, but just said, "Although the medicine from the military doctor is slower to take effect, it is still effective. You should put this medicine on yourself. If there is any minor injury, you should also respond to it."
Yun Shang was stunned, lowered her head and looked at the white jade vial in her hand, and responded in a low voice, "Okay."
Just when Yun Shang was a little embarrassed, the door curtain was suddenly opened, and the deputy commander walked in. When the deputy commander saw that Prince Jing's sleeves had been lifted up, and his arms tied with cloth strips were still exposed, he then
Looking at the medicine bottle in Yun Shang's hand, she knew what the two people in the tent were doing just now. She couldn't help but blush slightly on her face, lowered her head and said hurriedly, "My lord, something happened, Princess Huajing is missing.
