Chapter 1402 Preparations


    The importance of the matter couldn''t be overlooked.


    Yun Shang nodded solemnly, "I will see to it."


    Soon afterwards, she conducted a series of preparation work.


    Now that she had promised Luo Qingyan, she would naturally live up to her words.


    "There are gold thread armors in the treasury of the pce. I''ve asked someone to bring them here. I''m


    going to change them to the size of your highness so that they would be a perfect fit."


    Pei Lan said in a low voice, "I have a closer look at the armors. They look slightly different from what I


    see your majesty wear before. It is said that the one in the treasury was newly made by the Ministry of


    Works. It looks the same as ordinary clothes, but only a little thicker and a little rougher. But I heard that


    even the extremely sharp swords can''t prate it."


    Pei Lan''s look was caring and serious as she continued, "Your majesty, It''s getting cold now. It''s almost


    winter when you arrive in the State of Yng. It doesn''t matter if the clothes feel thicker. You must


    remember to wear the gold thread armor all the time."


    Yun Shang nodded, "It is indeed quite surprising that such a thing exists. Is the armor really that


    powerful?"

    "Yes, I thought it was inconceivable the moment Iy my eyes on it."


    Qian Zhuo added, "I''ve asked the maids to prepare some medicine for ordinary injuries and antidotes.


    They are all carefully sealed, and we even sewed some into every piece of your clothes in case of


    urgent need."


    Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "it''s okay to use medicine for ordinary injuries. But antidotes? I''m


    immune to poisons. There are not many medicine in the world that can do anything harmful to me."


    Qian Zhuo pursed her lips and smiled, "We have to be cautious just in case something unexpected


    happens. Maybe it can only be used on some other asions rather than poisoning."


    "You are right."


    "I''ve moderated all the jewelry you shall bring with you, your highness. Most of them are very sharp and


    can be used as weapons in times of crisis, and they are all hollow. You can put somemonly used


    poisons and other things in them.


    In addition to jewelry, the shoes are also specially made. Most of the shoes have daggers hidden under


    them."


    Yun Shang chuckled, "You two are really thoughtful. You literally prepared everything for me."


    "Of course we can''t miss any details." Qian Zhuo answered with a serious face, "When ites to your


    safety, I have to think about it. When you go to the State of Yng, in order not to arouse suspicion,


    you will asionally change into the clothes of themon people of the State of Yng. With that on


    my mind, I have also made some local clothes, shoes, socks and jewellery, so that it will be easier for


    you to fit in of the State of Yng. You can put them on directly then."


    Lowing her head, Qian Zhuo carefully recalled if she had missed anything. She stood beside Yun


    Shang and murmured, "well, if you want to take a carriage with you, the carriage must be well


    decorated. If you want to ride a horse, two special saddles also should be prepared.


    Your Highness, you always like reading. You can bring some books with you and we can also add


    something to the books to weaponise them."


    Yun Shang rubbed her forehead and said, "I''ll probably be quite busy along the way. How can I bring a


    pile of books by myself?"


    "You don''t need to carry a lot of books. One or two special books are enough." Qian Zhuo hade up


    with an idea, she grinned, "As for the other stuff, your highness can ask someone to buy them on the


    way, which is good. It will looks like you casually purchase the daily essentials on the way, which is a


    perfect excuse to cover up the truth. People will nautually think that they are just ordinary stuff, so they


    won''t doubt what tricks we have had in them."


    Yun Shang felt a little helpless about Qian Zhuo''s over detailed ns, but she didn''t stop her. It was


    better to prepare more. What if something unexpected happened, then all the details she had added


    mighte in handy.


    Thinking of this, Yun Shang suddenly had an idea. She said, "When I go to the State of Yng, I will


    definitely bring some bodyguards with me to protect me, and then there must be secret guards in the


    dark. These people are the most important, and we have to carefully select them."


    Qian Zhuo immediately nodded and said, "I''m already working on it. The emperor seems to be


    preparing something on his side, and I will see to it that we are also well prepared on our side. I think


    the people we select to serve around you must have their own talents and advantages, including


    disguise, poison, medical skills and tracking skills. Their skills should be diversified In order to meet all


    kinds of needs."


    She tilted her head and added, "As for the secret guards in the dark, the most important thing is that


    they are good at martial arts. Of course, it''s better for them to have their own advantages. Especially,


    they must know all kinds of life-saving methods, such as swimming, diving, and survival skills in the


    wild."


    Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo with a profound smile, "You are getting more and more appropriate


    in dealing with things now."


    Qian Zhuo blushed. She stuck out her tongue and said yfully, "I''ve been with you for a long time. I''ve


    learned something useful from you, but I''m not as good as you."


    "You are ttering me," Yun Shangughed. But she soon restrained her smile, and said, "I need you to


    prepare something for me."


    Upon receiving the order from her highness, Qian Zhuo straightened her face and replied, "I am at your


    service, your highness."


    "Prepare the map of the State of Yng for me. The more detailed the better. And the detailedyout of


    the imperial capital city of the State of Yng, including the address of the main courtiers.


    I also need the detailed information about the officers and generals of the State of Yng who server


    the court at the moment. Don''t forget collecting the information about the aristocratic families in the


    imperial capital, and the information regarding the rtivelyrge shops in the State of Yng."


    Qian Zhuo quickly wrote them down one by one, then she asked tentatively, "I''m afraid there are a lot


    of them. Will you take them all with you then, your majesty?"


    Yun Shang shook her head and said, "No, I won''t. Just have them all written on the paper. I''ll read it


    thoroughly for a few days and recite it by heart. One might lose the things on the way identally. It''s


    safer to keep them in mind."


    Yun Shang paused for a while and then continued, "Besides, I will discuss with the emperor tomorrow


    about my route. I will then hand the discussed route over to you. You and Qian Yin work together to


    have a look at the ces I shall go pass. There must be some secret holdout of ours. Make a list for


    me, and I''ll keep them all in mind."


    Qian Zhuo was slightly surprised at her n, "Keep all of them in mind, your highness? This is a lot of


    work! You are really awesome!"


    "Just prepare the paper work and leave the rest for me."


    After saying that, Yun Shang sighed softly. Then she looked at her maid and ordered her in a most


    serious tone, "Bear in mind, you will disguise as me to investigate the Dragon Mountains. The things


    you will prepare for me muste in two copies. You shall take one with you."


    Qian Zhuo frowned, "I don''t need these things, do I?"


    Yun Shang knocked on the table with her fingers and said slowly, "But you are going to pretend to be


    me. We must look identical in every detail. You see, his majesty is so worried about me when I go out,


    he makes sure that I will have all the luggage with me. If you don''t have all the luggage with you, I''m


    afraid people will suspect you. The more prepared you are, the less others will doubt you."


    "You are right, your highness," Qian Zhuo nodded obediently.


    She quickly noted down her orders and promised, "I''ll get ready and make sure things work out


    ording to your n."


    "Good. Please remember that you have to familiarise yourself with the ces you are going to be."


    As she saying so, Yun Shang gazed at Qian Zhuo worriedly. Deep down, she always felt that she had


    missed something.


    She casually took a book over and turned a few pages before she suddenly came to her senses.


    She called out to Qian Zhuo, "By the way, we must pay attention to Cangjie Qingsu." She sat up


    straight and looked serious, "Although we have encountered him several times ande to know him,


    I still don''t know much about his current situation. I need to have aplete information about him,


    including his siblings, marriage, family background and so on. The more detailed, the better."


    She thought that she almost forgot her real goal this time.
