An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 185

After leaving the temporary imperial palace, they went into a dense forest. Yun Shang frowned. She had heard that the forest was haunted. However, she had never been there before. Yun Shang didn't know there was thick fog here at night. Since it was late at night, the fog hadn't dissipated. It was impossible to see anything in the forest.

'How cunning! But...don't they worry about the fog?' The Princess knit her brows as she thought.

"We'd better withdraw now. Let's go!" said Yun Shang. She waved at her men to leave. Then she went to Prince Jing's mansion alone.

Prince Jing's chamberlain was waiting for her at the door. Seeing Yun Shang, he hurried to her. "Your Highness, did you find His Highness?" the chamberlain asked eagerly.

Yun Shang shook her head. As soon as she walked into the mansion, she found that the light in Prince Jing's study was on. As she walked into the study, she saw several people in the room. She recognized Wang Jinhuan. She also recognized two other people in the room. She remembered having met them in the military camp before.

Those two men were shocked when they saw her dressed like a girl. "Mr. Xiao?" They kept looking at her and rubbing their eyes. They were so confused that they did not know what to say. It was hard for them to accept the truth that Mr. Xiao was a girl. 'She lived with Prince Jing when she was in the military camp! What's their real relationship?' The two confused men thought.

"Your Highness, did you find him?" Wang Jinhuan stood up promptly and looked at Yun Shang.

Hearing Wang Jinhuan's question, the two men became even more confused. 'Is she a Princess?' They thought in shock.

Yun Shang nodded to them before sitting down. "We saw him, but he was taken into a thick forest with pea-soup like fog. I was afraid that there would be traps in the forest, so I didn't follow them after they went into the forest."

"Dense fog?" murmured Wang Jinhuan, "It might be toxic miasma, which is from some kind of poisonous flower in the forest. Are those people impenetrable?"

Hearing these, a thin man next to him spoke after thinking for a while. "I have heard that people in the State of Xia have the ability to walk in miasma since miasma is common in their state."
