"Did you let his majesty see your wound on purpose, your highness?" Qian Yin asked and she looked at Yun Shang with admiration.
Yun Shang smiled and said gently, "they are here to target Prince Jing. Recently, there are too many rumors about him that are disadvantageous to us. At first, Prince Jing's identity was leaked, later, the heavenly prison was burnt, causing the death of the crown prince of the state of Xia, and now the death of Prince Cangjue Qingsu who was stabbed yesterday. One by one, and every item that was put in a wrong way that would be a disaster to Prince Jing if we don't treat them properly. The officials in the court are all capricious. Judging from Prince Jing's current situation, it's normal for them to hit us when he is down. I just want to use the imperial physicians and maids to tell them that nothing will happen in Prince Jing's mansion, even if so many things have happened to Prince Jing. Father is always on our side. "
"Then what are we going to do next? Should we investigate the burning gas in the prison again, or the murder of Cangjue Kangning? I always feel that it was strange that the prince's token is in the hand of Cangjue Kangning. It's worth a thorough investigation. Moreover, I have heard from Luo Yi that the prince would never easily get drunk and he could at least drink a thousand glasses of wine. How could he be drunk? By the way, I've heard that Prince Cangjue Kangning was assassinated by sword. I've heard that Prince Jing used his Qingning Sword. If it weren't for the sword, he would've rather not use sword at all. But Prince Jing went out in a hurry yesterday, so he didn't bring the sword with him... "
Yun Shang listened and waited until Qian Yin couldn't say anything more. She smiled. "A lot of people know what happened, but there are still many people who saw Prince Jing quarreling with Prince Cangjue Kangning. The last guard of Cangjue Kangning heard Prince Jing's name, and he was indeed holding Prince Jing's token in his hand. As the old saying goes, the enemies are hidden in darkness while we are in bright daylight. I can
do nothing but stay at home to heal my wounds now. As long as Prince Jing doesn't show up, we won't accuse him. What's the rush? "
Qian Yin was rendered speechless by Yun Shang. After a while, she murmured, "I'm just afraid that your highness will be hurt. I have learnt a lesson from it. And I worry too much."
Yun Shang chuckled and whispered, "if you are really free and have nothing to do, you can ask people to tell the suspicion you just said to the public and let them trust the men in teahouses one by one. There is an old saying, which says, justice is one's conscience, isn't it?"
Qian Yin giggled, "yes, I can do that." Then she rushed out excitedly.
The smile on Yun Shang's face disappeared as soon as Qian Yin ran out. A touch of confusion appeared in her eyes. Luo Qingyan, where are you? Was he imprisoned by someone? But why didn't his secret guards tell Yun Shang if he was really imprisoned. If he has not lost his freedom, why don't he appear?
Yun Shang, lady Jin, Emperor Ning and Qian Yin always kept quiet as if they didn't worry about anything, but no one knew that Yun Shang was already in a state of panic as if her heart was scratching by a cat's paw little by little.
"Your ladyship, the emperor of the state of Xia has come to visit." The Butler's voice came from outside. Yun Shang was surprised. She stood up and walked to the bronze mirror. She looked pale and her hair was in a neat bun. Then she turned and walked outside.
Xia Huanyu was having tea in the greenhouse. Yun Shang stood there for a while before she came in and bowed to him, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I didn't visit you in time. Please forgive me."
Xia Huanyu put down his teacup and looked at Yun Shang for a long time before turning his head and said indifferently, "I heard that you were stabbed and injured yesterday?"
"No big deal. Thank you for your concern, your majesty." Yun Shang smiled, walked to a chair and sat down.
Xia Huanyu looked at Yun Shang a few more times and laughed. "You don't worry about your husband's life now. I don't know whether you are truly fearless or too cold-blooded."
Yun Shang smiled and looked indifferently at the teacup at the hand of Xia Huanyu, "Your Majesty is the same, isn't you?"
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu laughed. "You are like Hua Ling a lot. Qingyan, if he can't handle such a little thing well, how could he deserve to be a good son of me?"
Yun Shang heard him and didn't say anything, but she had mixed feelings. The person who was really cold should be the one in front of her. he was able to mention the late empress with a straight face, to laugh heartily after his own son died, and to watch coldly when several other sons were fighting against each other. 'emperors are really heartless.'
