"So, Hua Jing, are you dead?" Yun Shang held a handful of grains in her hand, teasing the parrot that King Jing sent early this morning, and asked casually.

Ning Qian gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and Yun Chang knew the result just by her expression. Xu Shi was in a good mood today, so she was not too depressed, and just said lightly, "If you're not dead, you're not dead. Anyway, sooner or later, I will die at my hands, but after this time, I am afraid that the queen's side will have to pay more attention to the group of young men raised by Huajing. Fortunately, Yaxi was not there yesterday, and the rest Even if we are kicked out of the princess mansion, it won't affect us too much."

Ning Qian sighed, with deep melancholy in his words, "It's fine if it's just that he didn't die, but that Cangjue Qingsu didn't know what kind of evil he had fallen into. When the Princess Mansion was in chaos, he ran back, captured Hua Jing and ran away, and even ran out of the imperial city before everyone could react."

Yun Shang, who was teasing the parrot, paused slightly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Run away?"

Ning Qian nodded, and said hastily, "But now that the emperor of Yelang Kingdom is seriously ill, Cangjue Qingsu can only run towards Yelang Kingdom if he wants to run. His subordinates have already sent people to chase after him. The princes of the Lang Kingdom are not vegetarians, and I am afraid that they have already set up an ambush to wait for him. There was an ambush in the front, and there were chasers in the back. The subordinates did not believe that he could safely run back to Yelang Kingdom with a half-dead Hua Jing. Besides, Hua Jing is also the princess of Ningguo, and many people have seen him assassinate the princess. The emperor, queen, and the Li family will probably not let it go. As long as the king of Yelang is not him, Cang Jueqing Su, I am afraid that the monarch of Yelang Kingdom will not spare Cangjue Qingsu lightly."

Yun Chang didn't make a sound, but stared blankly at the parrot cage in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

When King Jing returned to the mansion, Yunshang and King Jing still had some doubts in his tone when talking about this matter, "What did Cangjue Qingsu think? Why did he come back suddenly and take Hua Jing away? On the way Not to mention the cumbersomeness, I'm afraid it will arouse the embarrassment of the father, and now he wants to fight for the throne, why is he making such an enemy?"

Prince Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "This Cangjue Qingsu, didn't you lure him to the Princess Mansion?"

Yun Shang was silent. He retorted secretly in his heart, she was indeed the one who attracted it, and the incense in the room was also ordered by her, which would induce mania and magnify the desire in the bottom of his heart several times. But she wanted to make Cangjue Qingsu go crazy and attack Hua Jing, but she never thought that Cangjue Qingsu would suddenly come so suddenly, it was a stroke of genius.

Seeing that she was silent, King Jing shook his head and said with a thoughtful face and a smile in his eyes, "If I were Cangjue Qingsu, I'm afraid I would do the same."

Upon hearing the words, Yunshang raised her eyes to look at King Jing, with a puzzled look on her face, and it was clearly written in her eyes, "Tell me."

Prince Jing smiled, and said, "Since they have already hurt their hands and been seen by others, it is natural to annoy the emperor, at this time, it makes no difference whether Hua Jing is taken away or not. However, although there is an extra burden, it also has an extra guarantee. After all, he has been in Ningguo for so long, but he has not achieved what he wanted to achieve. After all, Hua Jing is still a princess, the queen's own daughter, Prime Minister Li's niece, if she chased him down, she would naturally have to be scruples. Let's not take someone captive first, if he can find a way to resolve this grudge in the future, wouldn't it be another backup?"

Yun Chang was silent for a long while before sighing. When she was doing this, she thought a lot and almost made sufficient preparations. The only thing she didn't think of was people's hearts.

"Left and right you also have one less unhappy person who is in the way of your eyes. You should be happy. Why is there such a worried look?" Prince Jing lay down on the beauty couch where Yunshang used to lie down on weekdays, and casually Grabbed the grapes in the fruit plate on the stool next to him and ate them.

Yun Chang sighed, "I originally wanted to take Hua Jing's life, but I didn't want such an accident to happen. It will still be a variable in the future."

"What are you afraid of? You're so smart, why are you afraid of someone who falls into a foreign land and doesn't even have a good mirror?" Prince Jing said casually, but Yun Shang was taken aback. Is this... a compliment

When Emperor Ning learned of this, he was naturally very angry. Even though he wrote the letter of crusade against Cangjue Qingsu and sent it to Yelang Kingdom, he quickly issued an order to chase Cangjue Qingsu , The border border also reignited the flames of war.

Concubine Jin's body is also gradually recovering, and seeing that the day when the fruit is ripe and ripe is getting closer, she said that she would return to Fengcheng to wait for the delivery. Even if Emperor Ning ordered someone to pack it up and said that he would accompany him, Yun Chang was worried, so she also He made up his mind to follow, and when he went back to the mansion and told Prince Jing, Prince Jing didn't stop him, he just said, since the concubine is going, he naturally has to follow.

Yunshang always felt that Prince Jing was a little bit unusual recently, not to mention giving her some small things usually, as long as the palace was idle and free, she would always follow her step by step, causing everyone to say that the prince and concubine are in love with each other. deep.

The concubine felt terrified and was about to refuse, but she saw Prince Jing suddenly straighten his face, "The emperor is gone, and I am going too. Think about it, who else is in this imperial city?"

Yun Chang lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "The queen in the harem is in power, and Prime Minister Li is in power in the court."

Prince Jing nodded, and walked to the window, "I received news that it seems that the Emperor Xia has given some order to Li, what to do in the near future, and it seems to be quite a big move. I have seen Prime Minister Li busy recently I met many officials privately, and secretly asked people to collect food and grass. Moreover, Xia Houjing seemed to have sneaked back. I suspect that he left a few days ago because he knew that I suspected him, so I cast suspicion. If It's true, Concubine Jin is giving birth, and the emperor is not in the palace is the best opportunity. I secretly made some arrangements, but as long as I am in the imperial city, I am afraid that Prime Minister Li will take precautions I, I'm afraid it will be difficult to act at that time, I will go to Fengcheng with you on the surface, and then I will naturally follow Xia Houjing's method and lurk back secretly."

Yun Chang felt very frightened just listening to it. She has been to Qilin Mountain, so she naturally knows that she is not an idler who can arrange so many soldiers and horses in Qilin Mountain. I am afraid that Xia Guo has other arrangements, and I am afraid that there will be other arrangements in Qilin Mountain before. He didn't expect such an incident to happen so quickly, but because someone discovered the secret in Qilin Mountain, he simply changed his plan for fear of repercussions.

This matter must be very dangerous.

Yun Shang looked at King Jing with some concern, King Jing smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched her face, "Don't forget, I have another identity, if my life is in danger, I will Go ask Duke Hua for help. You can count me as his grandson, so you won’t watch me die.”

It was the first time King Jing talked about his life experience with Yun Shang, Yun Shang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long silence in the room, Yunshang said, "Forget it, go as long as you want, I will ask Ning Qian to gather all my available people, and wait for your orders when the time comes. Although they are not as good as your people The martial arts are high, but they are all distributed in many inconspicuous places in the imperial city, and they are good sources of information, and they can be of great help if they encounter any danger."

King Jing's Adam's apple moved slightly, and after a while, he said softly, "Okay."

As he spoke, he raised his hand again and pulled Yunshang in front of him, holding her shoulders, and said in a very gentle voice, "If this time, I can return safely, we..."

Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at him, she didn't like to hear such unlucky words, she wanted to raise her hand to cover his mouth, but because his hand was tightly tightened, she couldn't move.

"How about we just be a real couple?"

Yun Chang was stunned, thinking all the time in her mind, they have worshiped the heaven and the earth, aren't they a real couple

Before this thought could be suppressed, another thought popped up, could it be that he was talking about consummating the house? Yun Chang felt that her face was a little hot, and her mind was messed up by her own thoughts.

After a long while, I heard my own voice say very calmly, "Okay."

In fact, why their conversation developed to this point, Yun Shang thought about it for a long time afterward, but never figured out why. Thinking about it, she and Prince Jing have known each other these days, but before they got married, their relationship could be considered very weak. It was only after Qilinshan came back that he got better because of his injuries, and the only manifestation was that Prince Jing had a stronger desire to control her, always forbidding her to do this or that. Later, after they got married, they didn't make much progress. Although they ate and slept together every day, and they could drink tea together and chat about messy things in their free time, she always felt that she hadn't reached the point where she could What a depth of affection.

So, why did she agree to it in a moment of fever? Why did Prince Jing make this request? All of these, she also attributed to feverish head.

However, later Yunshang wanted to find an opportunity to talk to King Jing to see if this agreement could be ignored. But Prince Jing never mentioned this matter to her again, and she probably couldn't be as thick-skinned as Prince Jing, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Whatever it is, it's not the time to burn the eyebrows anyway, is it

Thinking of Xiahoujing's incident, but also remembering that Ningguo is still at war with Yelangguo at the border, foreign troubles are everywhere, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos.

In the previous life, Prince Jing seemed to have died on the battlefield with the Yelang Kingdom, but how did he die? Yun Chang thought about it for a long time, but she didn't remember that she didn't pay attention to these things in her previous life. I just remember that the time seems to be vaguely when she was eighteen years old.

That is three years later.

In this life, after her rebirth, many things have changed. For example, Zhao Yingjie, the son-in-law who was supposed to be dead, changed his name to fight against the enemy at the border. For example, she who was supposed to have nothing to do with Prince Jing became Concubine Jing. Therefore, the life-and-death catastrophe of King Jing can probably be resolved.

The day for Concubine Jin to leave soon arrived, and a group of people set off from the palace in a mighty way, going back and forth to Fengxing Palace. Although the group was a little slower, they arrived in Laifeng City safely.

The palace is not as strict as in the imperial palace. Even if Emperor Ning is there, Yunshang's temper is still a little bit different than in the imperial city. He directed Qinyi and Qianyin to tidy up a very elegant small hall and come out again. After carefully arranging it, I am very satisfied.

There is a bamboo forest outside the hall, and there is a lotus lake. It is the season when the lotus blooms. It is very pleasant to have a pot of wine on the ice by the lake every day. As King Jing rowed a boat to pick lotus seeds to eat, his whole hand was scratched all over because of peeling lotus seeds, which made King Jing dumbfounded.

It's just that King Jing only stayed in Laifeng Palace for less than six days, and was called away by a letter. Before leaving, he took advantage of Yunshang to go boating on the lake, jumping on the boat, and fell off the boat. into the lake.

Prince Jing didn't know how to swim, so he fluttered in the lake for a while before being pulled up by Yunshang, and fell ill that night. This illness lasted for several days, and it didn't even appear when Concubine Jin gave birth.

On July 18th, Concubine Jin had a seizure while watching flowers in the garden.

Yunshang calculated the date, and it was about a month earlier than normal babies. However, because Concubine Jin took the oxytocin in the imperial city, Yunshang knew that the baby would be born prematurely. But it's only a month early, so it should be safe.

Fortunately, Emperor Ning was fully prepared, and Wen Po was trustworthy, and the Wen Po that King Jing brought into the palace was also there.

It's just that Concubine Jin was born for about ten hours. Yunshang and Emperor Ning were sitting in the hall together, listening to the screams coming from the bedroom, their bodies were tense.

Yunshang had also given birth to a child in her previous life, so she naturally knew how painful it is for a woman to give birth, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and brought back some bad memories, her face was always pale.

Turning his eyes to look at Emperor Ning, he was shocked again. Emperor Ning was sweating coldly, and his body was also trembling.

It stands to reason that this should be the third time Emperor Ning has seen a child, why...

Yunshang thought, maybe chatting with him could relieve his nervousness, so he said, "Father, don't be nervous, mother and concubine will definitely be able to give birth to younger brothers and sisters safely." After speaking, she smiled again. , "It stands to reason that Sister Huang and Chang'er are both so old, father shouldn't be so nervous..."

Emperor Ning heard the words, turned his eyes to look at Yunshang, with a little guilt in his eyes, and said after a while, "I didn't intend to take the queen back then, so I was naturally unhappy. When the queen gave birth to Huajing, I excused something. Didn't go. But when you were born..." Emperor Ning paused slightly, "I was dragged by Prime Minister Li to discuss matters in Qinzheng Hall, and when Prime Minister Li released me, you were already born."

Yun Shang realized, no wonder she was so nervous.

Concubine Jin's voice became weaker and weaker, Yunshang hurriedly ordered people to prepare ginseng soup and ginseng slices, feeling worried, and went to the inner hall to look at it a few times.

When the cry of the child was heard from the inner hall, it was already the morning of the second day, and the stone in Yunshang's heart finally fell, and she saw the midwife coming out holding a golden swaddle, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the concubine Jin gave birth to the baby!" A little prince."

little prince...

Yun Chang calmed down a little, and walked forward, only to see a baby who was all red all over, sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed.

"Although my younger brother looks a little smaller than ordinary babies, he is also very healthy. I think he is a blessing." Yun Chang smiled and turned to look at Emperor Ning who was standing beside her. The child in Granny Wen's arms seemed to be in a daze.

Yun Chang turned around in her heart, and said with a smile, "Father, please give my younger brother a name."

Emperor Ning was silent for a while, and then said, "Let's call it Chenxi."

Dawn, the morning sun. Yun Chang smiled, but it was a good name, full of warmth.

Yun Chang thought, and while Emperor Ning was looking at the dawn, he entered the sleeping hall. There was still a smell of blood in the sleeping hall. Concubine Jin lay on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. It's just that Yunshang saw her eyelashes trembling slightly, Yunshang knew that she hadn't fallen asleep, so she walked over lightly and sat down next to the bed.

"My younger brother is very beautiful. When he grows up, he must be a man who attracts countless women. The emperor named him Chen Xi, the morning sun, whether the mother and concubine like it or not." Yun Shang said softly.

Concubine Jin slowly opened her eyes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's good." She fell asleep tiredly.

Concubine Jin has given birth safely, but there is still a stone in Yunshang's heart, Prince Jing...

Prince Jing has been back in the imperial city for some time, and he doesn't know how the situation in the imperial city is, and Ning Qian doesn't know why, and there has been no letter from him.

It was not until the fifth day after Concubine Jin gave birth to Chen Xi that a letter came from the imperial city, but it was not from Ning Qian, nor Prince Jing, but Xiao Linzi.

Originally, Xiao Linzi was in the clothing bureau, and Yunshang wanted to bring him to his side, but he refused desperately, thinking that it would be good if he was in the clothing bureau, but if he was by Yunshang's side, I'm afraid there would be many people Others will keep it from him, and not being careful in the clothing bureau may have other effects, but I didn't expect that this effect will be highlighted at this time.

Xiao Linzi's letter stated that a few days ago, the queen said that important things had been lost in the palace and that the guards needed to be strengthened, so she added thousands of imperial guards to guard the harem tightly. The high-strength Jianghu people are afraid that they can enter and leave the palace even with light kung fu, and they have specially prepared tens of thousands of archers to guard the walls of the palace. Even the monthly family visits by the palace people have been cancelled, saying that they are afraid that the palace people will bring things from the palace to relatives outside.

Xiao Linzi felt that this matter was very unusual, but ordinary palace people could not enter or leave, nor could they send messages. Xiao Linzi was different, the washing water of the Huanyi Bureau was taken from a river in the palace, and that river was running water. The queen probably didn't know this, but let Xiao Linzi pick up a trick and send the letter from the river. Fazi floated out. Yunshang once taught Xiao Linzi how to contact her hidden guards, so Xiao Linzi contacted her people and passed the letter to her.

Yun Chang's heart trembled, the imperial city was afraid that something serious would happen, and Prince Jing was afraid that she would be worried, so he probably did not send the letter to her on purpose. As for Ning Qian, when she left, she gave special instructions to follow Prince Jing's arrangement in everything...

Yun Chang was already very worried in her heart, but when she was hooked by this letter, it became even more serious. Dang even decided to quietly sneak back to the imperial city...
