Chapter 403 Be Suspicious (Part One)
But there was nothing to pack up. Yun Shang had her dress stained with blood and some foundation,
which made her look paler.
Prince Jing was back. He stared at Yun Shang for a moment, and then smiled. "Are you going to the
pce to get your father''s sympathy again?"
Yun Shang chuckled and frowned again. She didn''t want to tell Prince Jing the truth. In fact, she
doubted his majesty, just because she had met him several times in the pce the other day. On the
previous day, her father suddenly said to her, "you look much better and seems to have more free time.
Is there any progress?"
Yun Shang only smiled and said, "I''ll keep my promise and find out the truth before the emperor of the
state of Yng arrive at the imperial city."
She was afraid that her performance in these days would arouse the emperor''s suspicion.
Yun Shang could not help but frown. She didn''t mean to hide Prince Jing''s whereabouts from emperor
Ning intentionally. However, even though the situation was clear now, she still needed to find out some
details about it. If emperor Ning knew that Prince Jing was back, it would be not good for Prince Jing''s
actions.
Yun Shang exchanged a careless nce with Prince Jing, and then she went into the pce with Qian
Yin. They hurried to the qinzheng hall, where Lord Zheng was standing at the door. When he saw Yun
Shang like this, he was also startled. "What happened, your highness?"
Yun Shang said in a hoarse voice, "there were assassins entering the mansion just now. About a
hundred people were affected. The whole mansion was almost affected."
Master Zheng was also a little surprised after hearing her words, "is your Highness alright?"
"I am fine. I was just a little shocked. Is my father at the Qinzheng Hall?" Yun Shang shuddered at the
thoughts of the attack just now, and nodded her head and answered.
Master Zheng quickly answered, "his majesty is calling for the imperialmander. I''ll inform his
majesty of this. Please wait for a moment, your highness."
Yun Shang agreed, but her eyes narrowed slightly at his words. ''the imperialmander, what did
father summon him for?''
After a while, master Zheng went out again and said to Yun Shang, "please follow me, your highness."
As Yun Shang stepped into the qinzheng hall, she saw two men walk towards her. One of them is the
imperialmander, but the man walking next to the imperialmander was a little strange. He was
dressed in ck, emitting a cold aura from his body.
''Since when there has been such a person in our court?'' Yun Shang thought to herself. Yun Shang
squinted her eyes and nced at the man. She stared at the jade badge on his waist for a moment
before looking away lightly and entering the inner hall.
Emperor Ning was reading the memorial, frowning. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and
saw Yun Shang''s pale face. He quickly stood up from his chair and walked to her. "Master Zheng said
there was some assassins in Prince Jing''s mansion? How are you doing? Did you get hurt again? "
Yun Shang shook her head and lowered her head, biting her lip. "No, I wasn''t hurt. A few days ago,
because of the assassination before, his highness left most of his shadow guards around me to protect
me. Those assassins broke through the guard outside the mansion relying on theirrge number of
people, but made too much noise, so all the secret guards in the mansion were alerted and they killed
all the assassins. But now his highness is not there, and there are corpses all over the ground in the
mansion. I still feel very frightened so I came here. "
Yun Shang''s body trembled slightly, but she tried to speak as calm as she could, and her asional
pauses and clenching hands revealed her emotions.
Emperor Ning stared at Yun Shang for a while and said, "the prince Jing''s mansion is not safe now.
You''d better stay in the pce for a few days. You can go back to his mansion when things are settled."
Yun Shang pondered for a while and said, "but I''m afraid it would be inappropriate if the prince Jing
suddenly came home and sees that I am not at home. Now that I''m married and still living in the
pce, I''m afraid it''s not appropriate for me to stay here and cause gossip. Not only that, I heard that
the emperor of the state of Yng would arrive at the Imperial City in about four or five days. The other
day, I always felt that someone was following me, so I just ordered my subordinates to investigate this
matter in secret. Although I have found some clues, I still need some more evidences. I thought I would
be able to investigate it these days... "
Emperor Ning thought for a while and said, "in that case, I''ll send more shadow guards to your mansion
to protect you."
Yun Shang heard this and squinted her eyes. ''father has really doubted me. Is that what he wants to
do?''
"The secret guard is supposed to protect father. I felt sorry for you as I used it once on my own when I
went to the KY City. I think the assassins are so aggressive because of the person I kept in my
mansion. " Yun Shang calmed down a bit and her voice became clear but she still had a frown on her

face.
"Really?" Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows at Yun Shang''s words. It seemed that his interest was
intrigued. He walked back to the imperial case with a smile on his face, picked up the teacup on the
table, and turned to Yun Shang, asking softly, "who is the person?"
After a short silence, Yun Shang said, "I didn''t want to tell you so early, father. Now that we don''t have
enough evidence, if we tell you earlier, I''m afraid you won''t believe my words." She paused before she
continued speaking, "grand councilor Li and the seventh Prince of the state of Xia are now grounded in
shang''er''s mansion."
Emperor Ning grabbed the lid of the teacup and hit it hard. The tea water spilled out but emperor Ning
ignored it. "What did you say? Li Jingyan? The seventh Prince of the state of Xia? "
