Yun Shang stretched out her hand to lift Qin Meng's chin, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, "Why does this princess think that Meng Jieyu's words are so unbelievable? At the beginning, Meng Jieyu was the empress Later, because the empress abandoned you, you came to beg my concubine to save you, and my concubine saved you. You said that from then on, you only listened to me. However, you were pregnant but kept it from me. Wangfei, she is still cooperating with the empress, if I hadn't discovered it early, I might have been bitten by you sometime. Tell me, is such a swaying person trustworthy?"
A flash of panic flashed in Qin Meng's eyes, she opened her mouth, but said nothing, looking at Yun Shang with tears in her eyes.
"You want this princess to save the child in your belly?" Yun Shang let go of her chin, leaned back on the chair, and didn't look at Qin Meng again.
Qin Meng fell to the ground softly, nodded, her voice was a little hoarse, "Please, princess, save the child."
Yunshang took out a small bottle from her waist, poured out a black pill, and handed it to Qin Meng, "This is a poison, and it happens once a month. You have little effect on the fetus in your womb. If you have something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences. If you want to keep your child, then eat it. If If you doubt what the princess said, that princess has never been here this time."
Qin Meng raised her eyes, her eyes fell on Yun Chang's hand, she was silent for a while, then she stretched out her hand, took it tremblingly, and swallowed it quickly.
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "That's right. In these days, my concubine has hardly asked you to do anything. Now, it's time to see whether you are loyal or not. You have been by the queen's side for so many years, there must be own people..."
Qin Meng was shocked, shook her head, and was about to speak, but gritted her teeth and didn't speak. Yun Chang smiled coldly, "Your task is very simple, that is to convince the Queen that Princess Huajing has been killed by this princess. gone."
Qin Meng raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, "Princess Huajing?"
"Yes, Princess Huajing. The young ladies in Princess Huajing's mansion are all placed by the princess. They have poisoned Princess Huajing long ago, but the poison is slow and has been hidden. The poison has accumulated over time, Huajing The princess was kidnapped by Cangjue Qingsu, and I'm afraid she would have died before she left Ningguo." Yun Shang smiled slightly, "It should be said that way, but how you want to convince the queen is up to you."
Qin Meng lowered her head and said nothing, Yun Chang stood up and said with a smile, "Don't think about it anymore, I'm afraid you don't know, all the people in your palace belong to this princess. You Do you think this wangfei is so stupid that if you express your sincerity, you will believe you? Since this wangfei dares to push you to your current position, she is not afraid that you will cause trouble."
Qin Meng looked at Yun Shang with horror in his eyes, how could this be? She clearly remembered that it had been less than a year since the princess returned to the imperial city, and she had been in poor health and looked sickly. However, she has already changed the people in her palace without a sound, how did she do it
Yun Shang didn't care what Qin Meng was thinking at the moment, she just turned her head and glanced at her, then swaggered out from the entrance of the main hall. Qin Yi heard a uniform voice from outside, "This subordinate has seen the master."
This voice seemed to be a lullaby, and it completely broke Qin Meng's willpower. This person is only fifteen years old...
After Yun Shang came out of Qin Meng's palace, she called the hidden guards and went out of the palace together through the secret passage.
King Jing stood in the room staring at a map in a daze. Yunshang let the guards disperse before walking over, and saw that the map seemed to be a map of the border border with Xia Guo. The State of Xia is in the south of Ning State, bordered by several mountains, and to the north of the mountains is Ning State, so it is inevitable that it is the State of Xia. There are three cities on the back of the mountain, namely Jingyang, Kangyang and Dexi. Yun Chang saw that Kang Yang on the map was heavily circled.
"Xia Guo started to attack the city?" Yun Shang asked.
Prince Jing turned his eyes, took Yunshang in his arms, and said softly, "Are you back? Did it go well?"
Yun Chang nodded, and continued to ask, "What was the prince looking at just now?"
King Jing lowered his head and pointed at the map, "Xia's army has already crossed these mountains and is approaching these three cities. According to the battle report, they are divided into three groups. The prince commanded an army of 500,000 troops to go to Kangyang. Jingyang and Dexi were approached by 250,000 soldiers led by veteran generals Lin Yu and Zhan Yang respectively."
Yunshang was startled, but now Ningguo is under the enemy's front and back, the imperial city is under the control of Prime Minister Li, the back is fighting with Yelang Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom's million-strong army is pressing against it in the south.
"Who are the generals defending the three cities of Kangyang, Jingyang, and Dexi?" Yunshang asked softly.
King Jing was silent for a moment before he said, "Kang Yang is General Qi Lang, and Jing Yang and Dexi are two of my generals: Zhang Qi and Wei Nan. I believe in the fighting skills of those two men under me, but Qi Lang "..." King Jing paused, "Qi Lang was once a veteran under the late emperor's command, so he didn't have to talk about fighting, but he was extremely conceited, and he was afraid he would suffer losses. There is a river behind the two cities of Jingyang and Dexi, but Kang After Kangyang, there is a plain, if Kangyang falls, Xia** team can go all the way to the imperial city smoothly."
Yun Chang frowned slightly, "Xia Jun has millions of soldiers, but how many soldiers can we fight at the border?"
"Eight hundred thousand." Prince Jing frowned, "It's true that Ning is a big country, but it has a vast territory, and there are many places on the border that need to be guarded. Weaker. However, the entire Ning Kingdom can still dispatch nearly 500,000 troops to support it, but it will take at least three months to organize food and mobilize the army. The front line may not necessarily be able to afford it.”
After a pause, he sighed again, "If I were here... the chances of winning would be better, but, the current situation in the imperial city... I can't leave no matter what. I can only... wait and see The situation…”
Yun Chang also fell silent, but she was a little uneasy in her heart. She was very optimistic at first, thinking that everything in the imperial city would be resolved, but she didn't expect that the current situation is so as complex.
Seeing her solemn expression, Prince Jing smiled, and closed the map, "The matter is not so bad that it cannot be undone. I have settled the matter in the imperial city earlier, and I will rush to the border. No matter what happens at the border, there are still 800,000 troops, and they can last for a while, so don't worry."
Yun Chang nodded, her eyes fell on the closed map, and she didn't move away for a long time.
"You came back in a hurry today and went to the palace again. I'm afraid you're tired. You should rest early." Prince Jing said with a smile, "The soldiers and horses will arrive at the city in a short time. Let's stand still for a few days. That's it. When the soldiers and horses arrive, go in and take the head of that old thief Li Jingyan."
Yun Shang smiled slightly when she heard the words, "Okay." Then she turned around and went into the inner room to rest.
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as I woke up, I heard voices from outside the house, "Recently, there were three big families in the imperial city that were wiped out by that old man. Now everyone in the imperial city is in danger. Your lord, you Why not let the subordinates simply go to the prime minister's mansion to take the old man's old life? The old man even said in the court today that the emperor is already in his hands and is on the way to the imperial city. Put your mother's shit on!"
"That's right! When those traitors and thieves heard this, they shouted long live to the old man one by one, and said something to let the old man ascend the throne as soon as possible. Is he worthy? The prince didn't say such a thing, he What qualifications do you have to say?" Another voice came, with a "Yah".
"My lord, why don't you take this opportunity to kill that old man and get on the throne yourself. The general has always felt that only the lord is the most qualified to be emperor in this country of Ning."
Yun Chang's heart was shocked, and she closed her eyes, a shock of emotion churned in her heart. If even King Jing took the opportunity to turn against him, wouldn't it make things worse.
Yun Chang held her breath and listened to the movement outside.
"Don't let this king hear such words again, if you talk nonsense next time, don't blame this king for being rude." Prince Jing's cold voice came.
Yun Shang heard the voice that made King Jing enthroned sound again, "My lord, why is this? I will remember that when I was at the border before, my lord clearly had this intention, my lord..."
In the middle of the speech, there was suddenly no sound, Yun Chang's heart hung high, biting her lip, only feeling frightened.
"Tell Wang Jinhuan to act faster. This king got the news this morning. Although the leader of Kangyang is the crown prince, the supervisor of the army is Liu Yinfeng, the former military advisor of Duke Hua, the teacher of Xia Houjing. He is really powerful, and Qi Lang He is very familiar with the combat tactics. This king originally thought that if the prince of Xia would lead the army, there would be no problem for Qi Lang to support him for two months, but now he has to weigh it again. Shangliu Yinfeng, with Qi Lang's temperament, I don't know whether I can last a month."
People outside responded one after another, and discussed for a while, but they didn't say anything about letting Prince Jing ascend the throne. Yun Chang bit her lip and nestled on the bed, feeling a little confused.
After a long time, I heard footsteps walking towards the inner room. Yun Shang knew that it should be Prince Jing. After a moment of silence, she finally opened her eyes and looked towards the door.
Prince Jing didn't seem to think that Yun Chang had woken up. He paused for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he walked up to Yun Chang's bed again, "Did you hear that?"
Yun Shang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Does the prince want to become emperor?"
Prince Jing's eyes fell on Yunshang's face, he stretched out his hand and patted her head and said, "I don't think much about it for now, and no one will be able to say clearly about the future."
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, "Why?"
King Jing sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "Probably because I want to be the emperor just because I feel that there is nothing to do, and life is a bit boring. But, now, after marrying you, I will I think it's not bad to live a small life with you like this. If in the future, one day I feel that it's not interesting, I will have that kind of thinking again."
Yun Shang stared at King Jing with wide eyes, feeling that his explanation was absolutely absurd.
"Is the prince teasing me?" Yun Chang frowned.
Prince Jing smiled, rubbed Yunshang's soft hair again, and squinted his eyes, "If you have my experience, you will feel that everything I say is true. In fact, sometimes I feel that I am I was very lucky. I was originally just an outcast, but because I met the late emperor, I became King Jing. The late emperor gave me the kindness of nurturing me, so I accepted him and helped his son guard the world. I lived here thousands of miles away. But later, because of my brother’s suspicion, and because I was a little tired of the day-to-day wars at the border, I wondered if I would have new fun if I took the position of the master. Actually , I went back to the imperial city with such thoughts in mind, but I didn't want to meet you and found some new fun. If I really go to take that position, I'm afraid you will probably hate me , I still care about you now, so I don't want to make you unhappy. If one day, I don't care about you, maybe I will think about it... "
Yun Shang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what does it mean that he still cares about him now, so he doesn't want to make himself unhappy, such absurd words, I'm afraid only King Jing can say them.
Yun Chang gritted her teeth, and said in a muffled voice, "The princess should thank the prince, I hope the prince will always care about this princess."
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, but actually nodded, "What the princess said is very true, so I hope that the princess can always attract the attention of this king, so that I can care about it."
Yun Chang became hoarse, and said again after a while, "That Liu Yinfeng is so powerful?"
King Jing didn't care that she suddenly changed the subject, nodded and said, "That's really a formidable one. He is very good at studying the opponent's combat rules and finding loopholes from them. Even this king used to eat in his hands a few years ago." Had a lot of losses."
Yun Chang sat up and looked at King Jing with burning eyes, causing King Jing to frown, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"My lord, I want to go to Kangyang." Yun Shang said with a smile.
"..."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Yunshang took his hand again and said, "I want to go to Kangyang."
"What are you going to do? To die?" Prince Jing was unmoved.
Yun Chang couldn't help but get angry, and snorted, "I think there is some reason for going, you said that Qi Lang is an extremely conceited person, such a person doesn't listen to other people's opinions. But, I am a woman , It’s the princess again, or the concubine. The prince probably won’t know. If a woman is unreasonable, there are few people who can resist it. You said that Liu Yinfeng is very good at studying the opponent’s combat laws. Only those few have rich combat experience, but Liu Yinfeng has a way to find the rules. If it is a brand-new general who has no rules at all, then he has no rules to find."
"Nonsense." Prince Jing patted Yun Shang's head, stood up, ignored Yun Shang, walked to the desk and looked at the map again.
Knowing that he would not agree, Yunshang turned around in her mind, then got up and walked to the side of King Jing, looked at the map with him, and asked the dark guard to collect the information of the three cities and the generals of the enemy and us. He brought them all, went to a chair beside him and sat down to look through them.
It was a very peaceful day, and there were only three pieces of news that could be considered news.
First, rumors suddenly spread in the palace, saying that Prime Minister Li rebelled, and many people in the court were killed. Most of the family members of the concubines worked in the court, and the palace was panicked for a while.
The second is that Xia Houjing was sitting in the prime minister's mansion, and was seen by Cangyang Yu'er who was walking in the mansion. Cangyang Yu'er, regardless of her pregnancy, took the initiative to seduce Xia Houjing, her clothes were half-faded, and was seen by Prime Minister Li. Yang Yu'er was beaten half to death by Prime Minister Li, and the child in her womb was naturally gone.
The third one also happened in the palace. It is said that there was a sudden ghost in the palace, and the crying was bleak in the middle of the night, and the voice sounded like Princess Huajing.
King Jing listened, looked at Yun Shang who was sitting on the chair as if he had never heard of it, sighed, shook his head, but did not speak after all.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. People like King Jing who have been at the border all year round and don't even have a maid in the mansion naturally don't know that women seem to only cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, but sometimes they can play a role. is very large.
On the third day, rumors suddenly spread in the city, saying that Prince Jing and Emperor Ning were on their way back to the city with their troops, and they would be able to reach the imperial city within three days.
Amidst the rumors, the prime minister's mansion was very quiet, and Li Jingyan, who used to visit the mansion in person almost every day, never went out.
For several days, the imperial city was completely silent.
On the night of the eighth day, Yunshang took the hidden guards to the palace again. Yunshang ordered the hidden guards to avoid the patrolling soldiers in the palace and bring all the concubines to Qingxin Palace.
Those concubines were all panicked when they were tied up by men in black to the Qingxin Palace, but when they saw Yunshang in the palace, everyone was already there, and hurriedly asked, "Princess, what's going on?"
Yun Chang smiled slightly, and glanced across the crowd, "Have you ever heard the news that Prime Minister Li has rebelled?"
Many concubines looked at each other and nodded.
"That's it. Prime Minister Li rebelled, and now the palace has been surrounded by his people. After two days, the soldiers and horses of the father and the prince will be able to go to the city. Prime Minister Li always thought that his conspiracy had never been leaked. The emperor didn't know. Therefore, when the soldiers and horses were besieging the city, Prime Minister Li panicked. He was afraid that he would take you as hostages to threaten his father, so this concubine entered the palace quietly in advance and took you out of the palace." Yun Shang looked at Kou Dan, who had fallen off because she hadn't taken care of it for many days, and her voice was very soft, but also very calm, "Do you want to stay in the palace or go out with me to take refuge in the palace?"
"The concubine went out of the palace with the concubine..." Yabi first spoke out, and Qin Meng also spoke out. With these two as examples, many people naturally agreed.
Yun Chang smiled, and asked the dark guard to lead them out of the palace quietly.
After all the concubines left, Yunshang stayed behind and headed towards Qiwu Palace...
