Yun Shang and Prince Jing both frowned. It was not until quite a while after Xia Huanyu left that Yun Shang frowned and looked up at Prince Jing. "What does he mean?"
Prince Jing sneered, and coldness filled his eyes. "What does he mean? He must have guessed that his son is in my hands and wanted to ask me to let him go. However, after sitting for a long time, he couldn't give up his noble Royal Highness's dignity to discuss with me, so he simply gave the order. "
"But the seventh Prince had killed the crown prince of the state of Xia!" Yun Shang was a little surprised, "the emperor of the state of Xia also agrees?"
Prince Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that they don't want to kill a son just because he has already lost a son. Xia Huanyu doesn't have many sons, so the princess has six or seven, but only three sons. They are Xia Houjing, Xia Houyan, and Xia Houchang, who is not even ten years old."
Yun Shang thought about it for a while and asked, "what are you going to do? Release him? "
Prince Jing stared at the jade hairpin on Yun Shang's head for a long time before he answered calmly, "of course I will. Since I want to go to the state of Xia and now go against his will, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me in the future. If I let him go for now, so what? Since I've caught him once, I can get him the second time, the third time... "
Prince Jing paused again and sighed, "it has been delayed for too long. It's time to get the things done."
Yun Shang knew that he was talking about the first two cases. She asked curiously, "Your Highness, you've found out?"
Prince Jing looked down at Yun Shang and gave a soft smile. He held Yun Shang in his arms and said, "yes. But on this matter, your highness, we need your help..." Then he walked slowly with Yun Shang to the backyard, On the early morning of the next day, two women were lying in front of the door of the court of justice. The head of court of justice stood up and was about to go up when he almost stepped on the woman. But when he looked closer, he almost passed out. The head of the court of justice called the guard in the mansion and lit the lanterns. After seeing the woman's corpse clearly, he was shocked and quickly ordered the guard to carry the two women into the mansion.
"My Lord, this one is still alive." One of the guards had to move to the lady's side because he suddenly found that she was still breathing. He said in a hurry.
The head of the court of justice took a look at the woman's body, and found that there was still breath. He ordered the servants to call for a doctor, and he hurriedly got on the sedan chair and walked toward the palace gate.
After entering the palace, he went straight to the qinzheng hall without waiting in front of Jinluan hall.
Emperor Ning just got up and was getting dressed. He heard the voice from the maids, frowning. Then he turned around, saying to Lord Zheng, "since he came here so early, there must be something important. Call him."
Lord Zheng said yes, turned around and said, "call him..."
