Lady Jin had already fed Chenxi. Although Chenxi was obedient, he was only a newborn baby, and the decoction was dripping all over his face. Lady Jin said with a smile, "look at this boy. He's no different from Yun Shang when she was a child. Every place would be covered with the medicine."
Yun Shang smiled as Lady Jin took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped Chenxi's mouth. Chenxi giggled as he put the handkerchief into his mouth. Lady Jin lightly patted his face and giggled, "handkerchief is not yummy, but it's not yummy! I don't know why he likes the handkerchief so much. Every time I wipe his mouth, he always puts it in his mouth."
Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat. A thought struck her. She quickly stood up and said, "I see."
Lady Jin and Madam Zheng looked at Yun Shang in confusion. Yun Shang pointed at the handkerchief in Lady Jin's hand and said, "I know why I couldn't find anything in this room. Wenxi, did you wipe Chenxi's mouth with the handkerchief?"
Lady Jin and Madam Zheng were shocked. They thought of what had happened a moment ago and turned pale. "You mean Jing Wenxi's handkerchief is a crux?"
Madam Zheng contemplated on it for a long time and said, "right. I remember that Miss Jing came with a water pink handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flower. Two days later, when she came back from shopping in the city, she replaced it with a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossom. The handkerchief didn't match her clothes at that day, and I took a few more glances at it. It seemed that the handkerchief didn't fit her clothesThe lady also told me that she saw the handkerchief when she went shopping and bought it as she thought it looked good. I didn't have any doubts at that time. But now when I recalled it, I felt that the cyan brocade handkerchief seemed to have been used for a period of time and it didn't look like a new one. Then Miss Jing kept wearing the cyan brocade handkerchief. It seemed that she liked the prince very much. The old maid who served the prince that day also said that Miss Jing would soon take away her work She has been with the youngest Prince for a few days. There must be a chance for her to... "
Madam Zheng's face turned blue as she said, "it's all my fault. I've been afraid that something might happen to the youngest prince, so I've been paying special attention to the clothes, transportation and transportation around him. I didn't expect that things would go wrong in such a place." Then she stood up and continued, "Jing Wenxi went to take a bath just now. I had someone steal the brocade handkerchief from her. I'll see if it's because of the handkerchief."
Lady Jin noticed Madam Zheng's remorse, so she held her back and said, "it wasn't your fault. Jing Wenxi is a thoughtful woman. She has a strong mind. You should investigate the truth and make sure that she didn't set anyone up. We'll take more care of Chenxi from now on."
Madam Zheng nodded and went out.
Yun Shang still buried her head in thought. Although it wasn't sure that Jing Wenxi did it, Yun Shang thought if her guess was right, how deep could she be able to notice these tiny details and make arrangements. Moreover, it was also not an easy thing to find out the handkerchief used by the person in such a short time. She suspected that someone was criticizing Jing Wenxi behind her back.
She still remembered how well planned the Empress was when she was in the Imperial Palace. And the Empress also warned her to take actions against Lady Jin and the little prince. Was it this that the Empress was talking about? If the Empress makes use of Jing Wenxi and sends someone to help her, it's possible.
With that thought, Yun Shang left the inner palace with a word to Lady Jin. She called her guards over, and asked them to investigate who Jing Wenxi had contacted recently, where she had been, and what she had done.
In her previous life, she didn't even know where her mother went. Now that she was born again, she would protect her family.
Lady Jin was afraid that the pimple might infect others, so she ordered a maid who had got pimples to serve her in the palace. Although Lady Jin didn't allow Yun Shang to get in touch with Chenxi, she could do something else for her.
Day passed and it was getting dark. At this time, there was a knock at the door. Yun Shang frowned. Jing Wenxi's voice came from the outside, full of chagrin. "Your Highness said Prince Jing will come today. It's getting dark, but he hasn't appeared yet. Did something happen to him?"
An ironic smile appeared on Yun Shang's face. She just said that if the prince came and asked her to convey the message to him. Why did she wait for him instead of questioning her.
"His highness must have come with his soldiers. They will be fine. But it's not easy to catch up with many people on the way. Maybe they have found a place to camp and can only come tomorrow." Yun Shang replied.
She was also a little worried. The situation she saw in the forest must have been reported to Prince Jing by the secret guards. Today, she saw that Li Jingyan and Xia Houjing had led more than forty thousand people.
It was unknown if Prince Jing's reinforcements had been received by the dark guard.
Yun Shang sent for her secret guards and asked them to investigate Prince Jing. Yun Shang heard Jing Wenxi's sigh through the door.
