Chapter 408 Make A Move (Part One)
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 dyed 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 thenterns. 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 thedy''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 pce gate.
After entering the pce, 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..."
The door was opened, and the head of court of justice hurriedly walked a few steps to the back of
emperor Ning and knelt down.
"Well, what''s the matter? It''s so early." Emperor Ning reached out his hand, and allowed the maids to
help him put on the Dragon Robe. Then he said calmly.
"Your Majesty, when I left the mansion this morning, I found a corpse and a woman in aa lying in
front of the mansion. I turned the corpse over and saw it was Princess Hua Jing. She died a miserable
death. I was so worried that I didn''t dare to dy. I''m here to report this to your majesty." The head of
the court of justice asked in a slightly trembling voice, and his breath was somewhat unstable.
Emperor Ning''s body stiffened. "Who? Hua Jing? "
The head of the court of justice quickly put his head back on the ground and whispered, "she is
Princess Hua Jing."
"Where is she now?" Emperor Ning turned around and looked at the head of court of justice with a
frown. A darken glinted in his eyes.
"I have transferred Princess Hua Jing and the woman ina to my mansion and sent for a physician."
The head of the court of justice answered in a low voice.
Emperor Ning thought for a while. Then he turned to Zheng, "I will abolish the imperial court this
morning." Lord Zheng hurriedly responded and left the qinzheng hall. It was a matter of great

importance for him to cancel the imperial court.
The servants had dressed emperor Ning''s robe. Emperor Ning walked back and forth in the pce
before he turned to the head of court of justice. "I''ll follow you to see it. Somebody, get the carriage
ready." Then he strode out of the hall.
The head of the court of justice replied and followed the emperor in a hurry.
The corpse of Hua Jing was ced in a room in the head of court of justice and ced on the bed.
There was a soft couch in the room. This was the woman who had been spotted with Hua Jing.
Emperor Ning looked at Hua Jing''s body in silence for a long time before he turned to the head of court
of justice. "Have you examined the body?"
The head of the court of Justice said, "we have checked the body and the coroner is waiting outside.
Shall we call him in?"
"Call him in." Emperor Ning said calmly. The head of court of justice winked at his servant. Then he
fetched a wooden chair, stooped down and said, "please sit down, your majesty."
