Chapter 152 The Real Kidnapper Behind The Scenes (Part Two) (1/2)

Sensing someone had entered, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked toward the door. After seeing Prince Jing, she gave a little pause and said, ”Uncle.” Her expression softened a little.

Smiling, Prince Jing went to Yun Shang. Then he sat down, and asked softly, ”Are you all right?”

Yun Shang nodded, ”I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm a bit sleepy because I didn't sleep yesterday. You rest in the room, uncle. I'll have someone show me to the guest room.”

Seeing that Yun Shang was about to rise, Prince Jing lifted his hand and pressed her back on the couch again. He smiled, ”Never mind, just sleep here. Didn't you sleep in my camp when we were on the frontier?”

After a moment's silence, Yun Shang nodded. She lay down obediently and closed her eyes. She soon fell asleep.

When she was asleep, Prince Jing got up, went out into the yard and said, ”Jing Ying.”

Then a woman in black knelt before him.

Prince Jing squinted at Jing Ying with displeasure, ”Who kidnapped Princess Yun Shang?”

”Your Highness, it was the Deputy Minister of Revenue, Yunqing. His daughter Ruyu asked him to do it. From what they said, I learned that Lord Wen seemed to want his daughter to do something in exchange.” Jing Ying replied with an air of indifference.

Prince Jing's eyes flickered over Jing Ying, ”The Deputy Minister of Revenue, well, he is really a capable man. But you allowed it to happen. How would you make it up to Princess Yun Shang if something had happened to her? Besides, you've been with Princess Yun Shang. Why didn't you send someone to tell me?”

Jing Ying was silent for a moment before she knelt and said, ”I'm to blame. Please punish me, Your Highness.”
