Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 138: The whereabouts of King Jing

Views:

Yun Shang was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and in the end she just hooked the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

It seems that the imperial uncle's secret guard still doesn't have his heart on his side. Yunshang turned her head to look at Qianyin, "Notify all the people in the imperial city to pay attention to the movements in the city, but they still brought people with them in such a short time, so they must not go far."

Qian Yin nodded, her eyes fell on Mei Ying, she raised a sneering smile, took out a bamboo flute the size of a thumb from her sleeve, brought it to her mouth and blew it vigorously, but no sound came out . Mei Ying's expression moved, and she lowered her head. She understood that Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to pass the message in front of her, just to tell her that if she wanted to get in touch, even if she was not nearby, she could easily get in touch. They are all the prince's secret guards...

The imperial guards searched, but found nothing, neither King Jing nor the secret passage.

Yun Chang sat in front of the window, and it started to rain again outside, and the laughter of those ladies came from the front hall. Yun Chang lowered her head and looked at the arrow feather in her hand, which she picked up from the Qingsi Pavilion just now while no one was looking.

Yunshang looked at it for a while, then handed the arrow feather to Qianyin, and said softly, "Ask someone to check the iron shop in the imperial city, and ask who has recently made hollowed-out arrowheads with pig iron."

Qianyin quickly responded and stepped back.

The raindrops outside the window fell on the bamboo leaves, making a dripping sound, Yun Chang sighed, she knew that Prince Jing should not expose herself to danger, and how could a cunning person like Prince Jing Will it be taken away so easily

However, even though the rationality in his heart told him that Prince Jing would be fine, he still couldn't overcome the waves of uneasiness that came over him.

There was another burst of laughter outside, and there were footsteps coming towards her, Yun Chang looked away, looked towards the door, and saw Qin Yi walking in, holding a bowl of honey water in her hand.

Yun Chang was stunned, and then remembered, Xu didn't know if he was feeling a little uneasy today, but he had menstruation, so he couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to take the honey water and drink it all in one gulp.

However, Qin Yi murmured, "The princess was exposed to the rain just now, so she must be kept alive. When this woman is in sunflower water, it is most likely to cause coldness in the palace, so she must be careful."

Yun Chang nodded, and then heard Qin Yi say, "Just now Eunuch Zheng came to announce the ranking of the flower viewing banquet. The first place is Zilong Woxue brought by Sun Yaniang, and the second place is Wan Qin'er from Qizhou. We brought Wei Zi, and the third place went to Qinglong Womochi of Qian Yundi from Yunzhou. The Miss Wen family didn’t even get the top three.”

"Oh?" Yun Chang slightly hooked the corners of her lips. That Sun Yaniang is someone I can make friends with. Now that she has won the first place, her marriage will not be so low in the future, and maybe she can be used by me in the end.

"Princess." A black figure appeared in the room, Qin Yi was taken aback, took two steps back, and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared with some puzzlement.

"Just now, not long after the accident happened to the master, the third prince of Yelang Kingdom said he was not well, and left after apologizing."

Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at the woman in black, and raised her eyebrows, "What? Do you think that Cangjue Qingsu is the murderer who arrested your master?"

Mei Ying fell silent when she heard the words, and said after a while, "Cangjue Qingsu always felt that it was because of the master that he was hindered from attacking the Ning Kingdom, so that he could not get the approval of the Yelang Kingdom Emperor and was established as the prince. Therefore, I have always held a grudge against my master."

Yun Shang sighed, shook her head and said, "What do you think, what is Cang Jue Qingsu's temperament?"

Mei Ying pondered for a moment, then said, "Impulsive and irritable, act decisively, don't look forward and backward."

Yun Chang nodded, and asked again, "How do you feel about today's situation?"

Mei Ying fell silent, that's right, she was the one who was in a hurry, the soldiers of Yelang Kingdom are not weak, and Yelang Kingdom has a majority of nomads, and the war horses are also very good, if Cangjue Qingsu has such ability, how can he It would be so embarrassing to be beaten by the master.

Yun Shang ignored Mei Ying, walked to the table and stood still. Now in the imperial city, there are only a few people who dare to attack King Jing, Prime Minister Li, Cangjue Qingsu, and the Seventh Prince of Xia... Yes, Emperor Ning...

Yun Shang paused, and when she thought of the last person, she couldn't help trembling slightly, no wonder King Jing had such thoughts before, for the sake of this country, there are too many brothers fighting against each other, not to mention, they are not biological brother.

It was getting dark gradually, Yun Chang frowned slightly, today, I'm afraid I can't go back to the palace. Emperor Ning is now in this palace, although there are enough things happening in this palace today, but after all, there are so many people guarding him, so it is safer, if he goes back to the palace in the dark, he may be ambushed on the road.

Time passed little by little, and there was no news from the front hall. After eating something, Yun Shang went to the inner room and sat down again.

"There are no concubines coming today, and there are many empty courtyards. You can take the ladies to rest later. Try to share the courtyard with the two of you, so you can take care of them. Send more maidservants to serve you." Yun Chang said softly.

Qin Yi nodded and stepped back.

Qian Yin came in with a wet body, "Princess, there is news from outside that all the iron shops in the imperial city have been searched, and no one has ordered such a batch of arrows. These arrows have a special structure and are made of pig iron. It was really done in the city, someone must know about it.”

Yun Chang nodded, since it wasn't built in the imperial city, it was done outside and brought in.

Qianyin knew what Yunshang was thinking, so she came again quickly, "I also went to the four city gates to inquire. These days, there are two groups of envoys who have brought in a large amount of things from outside, as well as the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and the Li Mansion. "

The Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion is the Wang family, Yun Chang shook his head, the Wang family must belong to Prince Jing, and it is impossible to attack him.

So, is it the Seventh Prince of Xia, Cang Jue Qingsu, or Prime Minister Li

"Has Xia Houjing come today?" Yun Chang asked softly.

"It's here, it's still there now." Qianyin responded quickly.

Yun Chang fell silent, Wen Ruyu came prepared today, but she was afraid that the situation with clothes was her goal, but it seemed that Prince Jing had solved it. Wen Ruyu pretended to be herself to lure King Jing, Wen Ruyu must have known that group of people.

I clearly remember that the last time I was captured was also because of Wen Ruyu.

The only one who has contact with Wen Ruyu is the Prime Minister's Mansion. It seems that everyone in the Wen Mansion respects Prime Minister Li very much.

Could it be Prime Minister Li

But... Yun Shang paused for a moment. If Prime Minister Li was not stupid, he would never have chosen such a time to attack Prince Jing. It is well known that Prince Jing is at odds with him. If something happens to Prince Jing, most people will suspect him. Moreover, Yelang Kingdom has not yet retreated, and Xia Kingdom is also eyeing it. After all this is done, there will be no more prestigious and powerful generals like King Jing in the Ning Kingdom. When the two countries unite, Ning Kingdom will be in danger.

Prime Minister Li has been cultivating generals for these years, but it is obviously not successful now. At this time, Prime Minister Li may not dare to touch Prince Jing.

Yun Shang turned her eyes to Qianyin and said, "If you were the one who robbed Prince Jing, where would you hide Prince Jing?"

Qianyin didn't expect Yunshang to ask such a question suddenly, she was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Didn't the princess always say that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Could it be in this palace?"

Yun Chang smiled slightly, but did not speak.

When a flute sounded in a hurry, Yun Shang suddenly raised her head and looked at Qian Yin. Qian Yin walked to the window in a few steps, opened the window, and saw a piece of parchment nailed to the window by a golden needle. Yin took off the parchment, looked down, and his expression changed, "Princess, there is something different about a small courtyard in the east of the city."

Yun Shang took the paper and looked at it, a ray of doubt flashed in her eyes. It said that some gray-clothed men entered a courtyard in the east of the city before, and carried a small sedan chair, and went directly into the courtyard. The yard was sold five days ago, and the person who bought it was named Lin Hua.

"I'll go there, you stay here and watch." Yun Shang whispered, and turned over from the window with a body.

"Hey, princess..." Qianyin yelled hastily, rushed to the window to look out, and saw that Yunshang had disappeared outside, Qianyin widened her eyes, bit her lips and said, "My dear Princess, this is in the palace, if the emperor invites me, how should I respond."

Because of several accidents in succession, the guards in the palace were strengthened a lot, so that when Yunshang left the palace, it took a lot of effort and she had several cuts on her arms.

Once out of the palace, Yun Chang quickly found Ning Qian and asked Ning Qian to take her to the courtyard mentioned above. The courtyard was heavily guarded, and Yun Chang's heart skipped a beat twice. Could it be that Prince Jing is really here? But, why doesn't the aura of the dark guard seem to be felt around here

Ning Qian's qinggong was excellent, so she went in first to explore the way, Yun Chang leaned against the window and listened to the rustling sound inside, and after a while, she heard a low whistle.

Yun Chang hurriedly raised her breath and crossed the wall. The yard is not big, but it is a four-way yard with a front yard full of flowers and plants. The current position of Yunshang and Ning Qian is in the front yard. Yunshang frowned. The defense here is very strict, but fortunately, although the guards are all masters, they are not top-notch experts. Chang can handle it well.

Someone is walking this way, Yun Chang is hiding in a bush of flowers, frowning slightly, in this position, if those two people come over, it is very likely that they will be found, Yun Chang thought, then raised her hand, and in her sleeve A few silver needles were shot, and the sound of the silver needles entering the body came. Yun Chang nodded slightly towards Ning Qian. Ning Qian raised his hand and threw a bright light outside. The foyer was on fire.

"It's water, it's water!" A voice came over, and Ning Qian quickly walked over and grabbed Yun Shang's waist, jumped up, and flew to the roof.

Yun Chang saw someone walking towards the front hall, but a few people who seemed to have better martial arts than those guards glanced at each other, walked out quietly, and walked towards a room on the side.

As soon as Yun Chang's eyes lit up, Ning Qian pulled her up to the top of the room again.

A low voice came from below, "I'm afraid someone has found this place. Let's take this princess Yunshang away first and send it to the master's Zhuangzi overnight."

Yun Shang was slightly taken aback, Princess Yun Shang? Aren't you here

Before he could react, he saw two gray-clothed men running out of the room quickly with a scarlet figure on their shoulders, and left in a few moments.

"Master..." Ning Qian said softly.

A dark light flashed in Yunshang's eyes, "It seems that the one who is going to be arrested here is not the emperor, but he is coming for me." Yunshang had already seen it just now, and the woman who was carried away was wearing her own clothes. For clothes, Wen Ruyu.

"You send someone to follow them and see where they went. I'll go back to the palace first." Yun Shang turned around and jumped towards the palace. King Jing is not here...

"Princess, you are back." As soon as Yun Chang entered the room, she saw two girls pacing back and forth in the room anxiously. Yun Chang smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter? But what happened?"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Something happened in the palace. The concubine Ya, Meng Jieyu, Fumei, and the empress have all been poisoned... just now the emperor has passed on the order, and we will leave for the palace immediately."

"Such a coincidence?" Yun Chang frowned, it was so coincidental that it was hard to ignore that four concubines were poisoned at the same time, I don't know what this song was about.

Qin Yi nodded, "The servant heard that the emperor was furious just now, and almost killed the eunuch who came to report."

Yun Chang nodded, "Then let's go back to the palace." Saying that, he walked outside.

When I reached the door, my footsteps suddenly stopped, "No, this matter is a bit strange..."

Qianyin pursed her lips, "This servant also knows that this is a strange thing. He poisoned so much at once. I don't know who is so powerful. While the emperor is not in the palace, he actually attacked the concubine in the harem. I just don't know that the concubine in the harem was poisoned to death. What is the use."

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and she almost fell for the trick just now, just as Qian Yin said, attacking a few concubines would have no effect at all, at most the queen could restrain Prime Minister Li a little bit, and the others are almost insignificant of. But, by such a coincidence, it happened.

"This is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Yun Shang bit her lips and stood up, "I can't go back to the palace, I have to wait here, maybe the emperor didn't go out to the palace at all, and that man made a mess in the harem. Such a big commotion is to lure the father back to the palace. Once the father returns, at least three quarters of the guards in the palace will be withdrawn, and at most a small part of the imperial guards will be left to find out the whereabouts of Prince Jing. , at such a time, it is best to escape."

A little doubt flashed in Qianyin's eyes, "But princess, after Prince Jing disappeared, the emperor almost ordered people to dig three feet into the ground, but he still hasn't been found. If he was in the palace, how could he not be found?"

Yun Shang sneered, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to dig a tunnel directly down the mountain. It will take too much time. Moreover, there are many ordinary people here, so it is extremely difficult. However, if you just dig a tunnel for people to temporarily It's not difficult to hide for a while. You don't need to say too much, I will definitely stay here, and you sent a message to ask Ning Qian to pretend to be me and go back to the palace with his father."

Qianyin was silent for a while, then nodded, took out the bamboo flute and played it.

After a while, Ning Qian walked in, Yun Chang told her about the matter, and asked Ning Qian to change her clothes. Yun Chang watched Ning Qian put on a human skin mask, changed her clothes, and tied her hair again. Only then smiled and said, "Qianqian's disguise is really superb, even I can't see the difference."

As soon as Ning Qian finished cleaning up, a servant came to urge Yun Shang to leave. Yun Shang nodded and hid behind the screen. Ning Qian walked out with Qian Yin and Qin Yi. Yun Shang stood in the room for a long time, It was only then that the commotion in the palace gradually subsided.

After a while, I heard a cold female voice above my head, "The emperor has already descended the mountain."

Yun Chang nodded, raised her hand and blew a strange syllable, and more than a dozen women in black appeared in front of her. Yun Chang said softly, "Prince Jing disappeared in Qingsi Pavilion, focus on the vicinity of Qingsi Pavilion."

Yunshang led people to guard near Qingsi Pavilion, motionless, and lost weight all night. In the early morning, the palace was very quiet, but Yunshang suddenly saw someone running out of Qingsi Pavilion carrying a cloth bag, Yunshang slightly Startled, his eyes fell on the cloth bag, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Master..." came a thin voice of inquiry from behind.

Yun Chang raised her hand and shook her head, "Fake."

Everyone was taken aback, looking at the cloth bag, they obviously didn't see anything, how did the master know it was fake

The corners of Yunshang's mouth curled up. Although this group of people were smart, they missed some details. Did the person in the bag straighten up? They were tied tightly, but Yunshang looked at the bag , the cloth bag is at most a little over five feet. Prince Jing is seven feet tall, just by his stature, he can tell that he is not Prince Jing.

Not long after, a few more people came out carrying a cloth bag, and Yun Chang shook her head. This time, the height is not bad, but she has gained weight.

After a long time, two people opened the door again and walked outside.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "Follow me..."

"Master, there is no one else..." Someone looked over, but did not see the cloth bag that should be there, and frowned.

A gleam of light flashed in Yun Chang's eyes, "One of them has been controlled in his mind, but the way he walks is exactly the same as Prince Jing."

"Princess, why don't we go up and snatch the prince back?" the person behind said softly.

Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, but under such circumstances, she couldn't help laughing. What she said was like snatching a kiss.

"We don't know how many people are on the other side. We only have a few people. Don't confront this matter head-on. Follow up and see where they are going. Don't startle them."

Yun Chang led the crowd to follow, and saw that they had successfully left the palace. After leaving the palace, there were a few more people, who seemed to be the ones who had carried the sack before. Yun Chang smiled coldly, and became more and more curious in her heart, who is so bold and careful.
