Chapter 372 The Confrontation


    "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,ter, 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 sses 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. Thest 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


    use 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,dy 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.


    "Yourdyship, the emperor of the state of Xia hase 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 andughed. "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 Huanyuughed. "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 thete empress with a straight face, to


    each other. ''emperors are really heartless.''


    "Don''t you want to defend your husband? Emperor Ning is your father. I''ve heard that he loves you very


    much. If you want to get involved, I''m afraid he''ll agree. " Xia Huanyu kept an eye on Yun Shang''s face


    and said indifferently, "Or do you still think that you can not find out the real murderer?"


    Coldness shed in Yun Shang''s eyes. "I''m afraid you are clear about the identity of the murderer, your


    majesty. To be honest, I admire your majesty very much. I''ve heard that your majesty had taken the


    throne from your brother and your sons almost learnt all of your Majesty''s things, talents and ambition.


    "


    Hardly had her words faded away, a murderous look shed across Xia Huanyu''s eyes. Yun Shang


    smiled. "It seems that you are the one who failed to teach your sons. Why should I care about it? As for


    his royal highness'' identity... " Yun Shang snorted, "if you protect him, I will recognize the rtion


    between you and his highness. If you don''t love his highness, he will only be prince Jing of the state of


    Ning."


    Xia Huanyu squinted. His eyes became more murderous. He kept silent for a long time before he said


    in a low voice, "aren''t you afraid that you will be killed when talking to me like this?"


    Yun Shangughed out loud. "Your Majesty, do you remember where you are now?" Then Yun Shang


    pped her hands. The murderous will was on the verge of breaking out.


    Xia Huanyu stared at Yun Shang coldly. After a while he chuckled, "Luo Qingyan, he is not mistaken. I


    just hope that you will not disappoint me with your performance."


    "Butler, see off the guests." Yun Shang stood up and left the drawing room without saying anything


    else.


    "Yourdyship, the emperor of the state of Xia is his highness''... What if he makes things difficult for


    you after you arrives in the state of Xia? " Qian Yin had juste in for tea and heard the conversation


    between Yun Shang and Prince Jing''s father. She was worried about Yun Shang because she had


    never seen her be so tough to someone. She wondered why Yun Shang changed her mind all of a


    sudden. Lady Jing was always a gentle and courteous woman...


    Yun Shang smiled. She had been worried for Prince Jing since she knew that he had disappeared. But


    now, it seemed that Xia Huanyu knew clearly who set him up. It was most likely Xia Houyan, the


    seventh prince of the state of Xia. Xia Houyan was a resourceful man, and Xia Huanyu would not really


    put Prince Jing in danger. She had intentionally probed Xia Huanyu for several times, but he had


    always been calm, indicating that at least Prince Jing was safe.


    Yun Shang went back to the bedroom and said calmly, "we don''t need to do anything these days. We


    just need to ask the spies to keep an eye on the hidden information, especially if there was any


    abnormality in the imperial cityst night. We will not let it go. You just gather them together and report


    it to me after you get everything ready."


    Qian Yin nodded. A look of enlightenment came over her face. "I didn''t expect that our hidden stake is


    almost spread across all over the imperial city. There must be some abnormality after such a big event


    Yun Shang stopped Qian Yin and smiled, "you are still so imprudent. I have told you that there are


    many people keeping an eye on us around our mansion right now. You must be careful and do not give


    yourself away easily. You are not supposed to show yourself as well. Isn''t it the daily market shopping


    in our mansion? Ask shadow guards to act as the servants who are responsible for purchasing. When


    they are buying, they can take the news out. "


    Qian Yin nodded repeatedly. Yun Shang continued, "send the butler to get some doctors here, and then


    send for an imperial physician in the pce. Tell the physician that I''ve already been hurt and worried


    about Prince Jing. In the end, I cried in front of the emperor of the state of Xia and passed out."


    Qian Yin didn''t understand what Yun Shang meant. But she still left in a hurry as Yun Shang ordered.


    Yun Shang stood up and walked to the table. She picked up the writing brush and wrote the characters


    "Calm yourself" on it. She stared at the writing brush for a long time before she put it down. Then she


    walked to the bronze mirror and read it carefully. She picked up the powder on the table again and put


    the thickyer of powder on her face until her face turned paler.


    She walked to the bed, andy down on the bed in her clothes without looking at her hair in a bun. She


    took out a small bottle from the pillow, poured out a pill, and swallowed it. Then she put down the bed


    curtain. She breathed lightly as if she was asleep.


    The pills in the bottle were given to her by her grandfather. When she first came back to the Imperial


    Pce, she had been pretending to be ill for a long time thanks to the pills, so that even the imperial


    physicians didn''t notice her weakness.


    After a long time, Yun Shang heard Qian Yin speak with a bit of anxiety, "I don''t know what''s wrong.


    When her highness met the emperor of the state of Xia just now,dy Jing was in a good condition. But


    before I entered the room, she suddenly turned pale and suddenly fell down to the ground. I was


    scared to death and hurried to get her up. "


    Qian Yin led the physicians into the room. Qian Yin looked at the bed, which was well covered, and


    walked to the side of the bed. She drew a mosquito curtain, and the physicians in the room vaguely


    saw the white and terrifying face of Yun Shang. Just in a moment, Qian Yin lowered the curtain in a


    hurry, and revealed Yun Shang''s hand. She said gently, "please have a look at her highness. What the


    hell happened tody Jing? "
