Yun Shang and Prince Jing stopped at the same time. Li Jingyan and Cangjue Qingsu? How did they get together?
Prince Jing glanced at Yun Shang and said, "I'm going to discuss something with my brother. You can go back to the XR Palace first. You've worked all day. It's time to rest. "
"Okay." Yun Shang smiled and knew that they must be discussing the countermeasures, so she turned around and went back to her palace.
Qian Yin giggled, "Your Highness, we have had a wonderful day. Jing Wenxi looks like an idiot. How can she bully you? By the way, your highness, his highness is so obedient to you today. How domineering he is. Is there anything happened between your highness and his highness while I was away? "
Yun Shang glanced at Qian Yin. "No one will regard you as a dumb if you don't speak."
"You are so cruel, your highness..." Qian Yin pretended to wipe her tears. Seeing that Yun Shang ignored her, she put her hand down and chuckled. "Your Highness, I've been exhausted these days. I took a special trip to the KY City, which was finally up to you. The detailed pictures on the border of the State of Xia have been drawn, and the information of several generals guarding the city, especially General Qi, has been obtained. Even the information about General Qi that can be found out. The high-ranking Military Counselor's behavior was also recorded. I've placed all of my documents on your highness'..."
Yun Shang nodded, "Well done and it was fast. After I finish reading it, I'll reward you as long as I'm sure it's worth it!"
Qian Yin chuckled and said, "Oh, where is Qin Yi?"
"Qin Yi went with grandfather to do something else." Yun Shang walked to her desk, opened a pamphlet and read it carefully.
After a while, Yun Shang finished reading a book. She looked up and said, "I have ordered some people to follow Li Jingyan and his forces. Where are they now?"
Qian Yin answered quickly, "They were in a house over one hundred miles away from here."
A house? Yun Shang knew the general direction in her mind, but she didn't know much more about it. She took the map of Prince Jing and looked at the location of the house for a long time.
"A house… What were Xia Houjing and Li Jingyan doing in a house? The Yuan River was on the other side of this house. If people surround here, they will die. " Yun Shang frowned and her expression changed. She looked at the small part.
The house was not close to Laifeng City and the Imperial City. Why did they settle there?
While she was thinking, footsteps came from outside the hall. Yun Shang put the book Qian Yin brought with her behind the bookshelf, and turned to look at the map in her hand.
"What are you looking at, your highness? So serious? " Prince Jing opened the curtain and walked into the inner palace. He saw Yun Shang frowning at the stuff in her hands. Prince Jing walked to her with curiosity and looked down. "What? Map? Are you interested in it? "
Yun Shang looked up at Prince Jing and asked, "Is Xia Houjing planning to collude with Cangjue Qingsu to deal with the State of Ning?"
Prince Jing nodded. "Xia Houjing has discussed with Cangjue Qingsu. After they take over the State of Ning, they will divide the cities and even the design of the territory."
Yun Shang sneered with contempt in her eyes, "They are daydreaming."
Prince Jing didn't want to continue this topic with Yun Shang, so he asked again, "What were you looking at just now?"
Yun Shang wasn't shy. She pointed at the house marked on the map and frowned, "I heard that Xia Houjing and Li Jingyan had settled here, so I'm here to have a look."
"Really?" Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, with a gleam shining in his eyes. He said, "You're well-informed, your highness." Then he stopped talking.
Yun Shang said with a smile, "Your Highness is much better than me. Your highness must have gotten the news several days ago? I'm just curious. The Yuan River is behind the house. They are looking for death if they settle here. " Yun Shang had become Prince Jing's favorite concubine since they both teased each other.
"They are digging their own grave… How can I know whether they are determined to fight or not? " Prince Jing whispered, with a gleam shining in his eyes. He walked to a chair and sat down.
Yun Shang fell silent and her eyes fell on the Yuan River. The river started from the west of the State of Ning and headed all the way to the west. There was a turn in the entrance of the house building, and then went south to meet the sea.
If the State of Xia wanted to invade the State of Ning, they had to first get through all the cities in the border area of the State of Ning. But after that, they could take advantage of the KY City to get to the Imperial City, including the Yuan River.
"Nothing? Then the Emperor of the State of Yelang should get involved in some serious trouble, lest Prince Qingsu targeted at the State of Ning while he had nothing to do all day. " Yun Shang closed her eyes. "I remember my uncle said that Cangjue Qingsu has the support of the Chief Councilor and the General, and is comparable to the Crown Prince and the fifth Prince. If something really happened to the Emperor of the State of Yelang and the three princes were to fight for the throne, Prince Qingsu would have to gather some troops back to his Imperial City. In that case, not only his attention would be drawn back, but also the pressure on the northern border would be relieved. Besides, since Prince Qingsu is so rude, why should we be polite to their Emperor? " Yun Shang put down the map in her hand and looked up at Prince Jing. Her voice was soft but somewhat indifferent, and somewhat like Prince Jing.
Hearing this, Prince Jing smiled. "That's exactly what I think. You and I have a connection."
Yun Shang glared at Prince Jing. Prince Jing laughed for a while and said, "I'll be away for a period of time, or two months. It's hard to say how long I can stay. Now the State of Ning is not safe everywhere. Just stay in the temporary imperial palace. Don't wander around."
"What?" Yun Shang was surprised. She tilted her head and thought for a while. Soon she realized that the prince was probably going to deal with something about Xia Houjing. He had come to her father and probably discussed the countermeasures with him.
"When are you leaving?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Prince Jing's hand paused, but he still answered calmly, "Tomorrow morning."
Yun Shang kept silent for a while on Prince Jing's words. Then she nodded, "I don't know what kind of things you need, as you didn't bring anything with you. If you need anything, just tell Qian Yin to prepare it."
Prince Jing was somewhat absent-minded. After a long while, he said, "No need. I've sent people to prepare."
"…… Okay... " Yun Shang agreed. She lowered her head and continued to read through the map. Somehow, she was a little upset, and she couldn't go on reading. This was the first time he had left for such a long time after they got married. She remembered what he had said a moment ago. Sometimes it would be two months, sometimes it would be a long time that he didn't know. He didn't know, which meant he was not sure about what would happen.
Yun Shang recalled that now that Prince Jing had known about his origin, what she worried about finally happened. He had no choice but to be an enemy of his family members. Xia Houjing is his seventh brother. Lord Hua Guo was his grandfather. And the Emperor of the State of Xia was his biological father.
Yun Shang didn't know what Prince Jing was thinking, but her heart ached.
It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that no matter what happened, Prince Jing's identity cannot be known by my father. Although her father seemed to have a close relationship with Prince Jing, he was actually afraid of him. And he even suspected his own daughter. If father knew Prince Jing's true identity, he would be even more skeptical of Prince Jing and would take precautions. The State of Xia had prepared for so many years. Yun Shang believed Prince Jing was just a pawn they set up. At that time, his majesty would try every means to eliminate Prince Jing.
That was the last thing she wanted to see.
