The young monk led Yun Shang and Prince Jing to the backyard, opened the door to a wing room
and said to them, "Amitabha, please take care of yourself here."
Yun Shang raised her head and looked around the room. It was just a simple and clean room, with a bed for the pilgrims to have a rest, and a table and two chairs, a pot of tea, two teacups of tea, a chessboard and the chess pieces on it.
"Where are the two?" Yun Shang asked softly to Prince Jing.
After a short silence, Prince Jing took Yun Shang to the door and pointed at the opposite room. "They are over there."
Yun Shang returned to the room and didn't close the door. She looked at the opposite wing room and frowned. Behind the wing room was a bamboo forest. It might be possible if the bamboo forest was used as a cover for them.
Prince Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know why. But Cangjue Kangning sent all his guards to guard far away. I've asked the hidden guards to figure out the distribution of the prince's guards..." Prince Jing looked around the room before he finished his words. He frowned and said, "there's no ink and paper in the room, how strange."
Prince Jing complained in a low voice. Then he took Yun Shang to the table, poured a cup of tea for her, and poured some water from the cup to draw the map on the table. "There are twelve guards near the wing room, but they are far away from the wing room. They are in these places." Prince Jing drew a painting to let Yun Shang see it clearly. Then he added, "there is no one next to their wing room, so we can leave two people in this room. Let the two secret guards distract the two guards who can see what happened in that room. I will follow you to the wing room next to that room. The wall is thin, so we can easily know what is happening next to that room."
Yun Shang nodded her head at his words, "Your Highness, you are quite considerate."
Prince Jing called two shadow guards over and carefully told them how to distract the two guards. Then the two secret guards retreated in a hurry. Prince Jing walked to the door and looked around. After a while, Prince Jing took Yun Shang's hand and said, "let's go."
So they walked quietly to a room on the left of that wing room. They opened the door of that room quickly and quietly, walked in and closed the door again.
There seemed to be no sound in the room next to them. Yun Shang frowned, walked to the wall, and listened carefully.
After a while, a woman's voice was heard by her. It was a seductive and weak voice. "Is your crown prince satisfied with die'er's service?" she asked in a gentle tone.
The voice didn't sound like Jing Wenxi's voice. It must be the woman who followed them and entered the room that the shadow guard had mentioned to them.
Then she heard Cangjue Kangning said, "How do I describe it in your language of the state of ning? I feel so comfortable. That's it, right? " After saying that, he burst into laughter. "It's just that you are not in good health. You can't make it twice. I haven't had a good time yet."
