An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1406

Yun Shang couldn't help but clap her hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful!"

"If Xia Houjing is behind all this, he won't necessarily tell them what to do in detail as he was far away in Jin city. He will probably just let them do things at will."

"Those two officials are indeed stupid. However, this dumb woman is quite interesting."

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yun Shang, then he slowly said, "A dumb girl may not be a real dumb girl. Sometimes, people with obvious flaws might make us less vigilant."

"I see what you mean. That move of his is even more powerful." Yun Shang curled up her lips and said, "if she is not a dumb woman and she has pretended to be deaf for more than twenty years. With such patience and endurance, she sure is one who can achieve great things."

Seeing Luo Qingyan keep staring at her, Yun Shang smiled and explained, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I know she has a different position from us now. I won't alert the enemy at this critical moment."

"But we can keep an eye on her. When everything is sorted out eventually, we can consider taking her under our control."

Yun Shang had always been a thoughtful woman, so Luo Qingyan didn't need to worry about her too much. He just nodded and didn't say anything more.

While the two of them were talking, they heard hurried footsteps from outside, accompanied by a panicked cry of a servant, "Crown Prince, slow down please."

Yun Shang instantly turned to look at the door and saw Chengye running in hurriedly with something in his hand.

It was not until he got closer that Yun Shang saw clearly what was in his hand. It was a small pigeon.

"Where did you get this pigeon?" Yun Shang frowned and asked suspiciously, "Chengye, why do you carry it around?"

Chengye hurriedly lifted the pigeon in front of Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan, and showed it to the two, "Mother, the pigeon was shot down by me just now. There is a bamboo container tied to its foot. I asked my servants, and they said it should be a messenger pigeon. But I really can't read the note in the bamboo container, so I have brought it to you."

Yun Shang squinted her eyes. She unbelievably murmured, "A messenger pigeon?"

Luo Qingyan had already taken the pigeon from Change's hand to have a close look. Not surprisingly, he found a bamboo tube attached to the dove's foot. Luo Qingyan took out the letter inside and unfolded it while asking, "Have you read the letter inside?"

Chengye nodded, "It was my servant who took it out and showed it to me."

Luo Qingyan went straight to the point, "All the personal servants of Crown Prince should receive the punishment and be flogged for ten times."

Chengye was confused at his sudden words.

Luo Qingyan looked at Chengye and opened his mouth solumnely, "You need to remember that you are Crown Prince. There are countless people in the world who want to hurt you. Your servants should rule out all possible hidden dangers for you. The pigeon was shot from the sky by you with arrows. It was of unknown origin, but your servants still let you touch it. They even let you bring it all the way to me and your mother."

He paused and sighed, "What if the messenger pigeon is poisoned? Or there is something bad attached to it?"

Hearing this, Chengye widened his eyes and exclaimed, "I could have been poisoned by touching it. Not only me, but also you and mother!"

Luo Qingyan nodded, "You are still young. It's normal that you can't be considerate when something happens. But the most important thing for your servants is to protect your safety. They should have thought of these hidden dangers and prevent you from touching the pigeon in the first place. Therefore, I must punish them and let them learn a lesson. They can't be so careless in the future."

Chengye opened his mouth but nothing came out of it. Right now, he felt extremely guilty. He shot the pigeon down and insisted on holding it and playing with it.
