Chapter 239 The News Came (2/2)
”What are you looking at, your highness? So serious? ” Prince Jing opened the curtain and walked into the inner palace. He saw Yun Shang frowning at the stuff in her hands. Prince Jing walked to her with curiosity and looked down. ”What? Map? Are you interested in it? ”
Yun Shang looked up at Prince Jing and asked, ”Is Xia Houjing planning to collude with Cangjue Qingsu to deal with the State of Ning?”
Prince Jing nodded. ”Xia Houjing has discussed with Cangjue Qingsu. After they take over the State of Ning, they will divide the cities and even the desig
ander around.”
”What?” Yun Shang was surprised. She tilted her head and thought for a while. Soon she realized that the prince was probably going to deal with something about Xia Houjing. He had come to her father and probably discussed the countermeasures with him.
”When are you leaving?” Yun Shang asked softly.
Prince Jing's hand paused, but he still answered calmly, ”Tomorrow morning.”
Yun Shang kept silent for a while on Prince Jing's words. Then she nodded, ”I don't know what kind of things you need, as you didn't bring anything with you. If you need anything, just tell Qian Yin to prepare it.”
Prince Jing was somewhat absent-minded. After a long while, he said, ”No need. I've sent people to prepare.”
”…… Okay... ” Yun Shang agreed. She lowered her head and continued to read through the map. Somehow, she was a little upset, and she couldn't go on reading. This was the first time he had left for such a long time after they got married. She remembered what he had said a moment ago. Sometimes it would be two months, sometimes it would be a long time that he didn't know. He didn't know, which meant he was not sure about what would happen.
Yun Shang recalled that now that Prince Jing had known about his origin, what she worried about finally happened. He had no choice but to be an enemy of his family members. Xia Houjing is his seventh brother. Lord Hua Guo was his grandfather. And the Emperor of the State of Xia was his biological father.
Yun Shang didn't know what Prince Jing was thinking, but her heart ached.
It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that no matter what happened, Prince Jing's identity cannot be known by my father. Although her father seemed to have a close relationship with Prince Jing, he was actually afraid of him. And he even suspected his own daughter. If father knew Prince Jing's true identity, he would be even more skeptical of Prince Jing and would take precautions. The State of Xia had prepared for so many years. Yun Shang believed Prince Jing was just a pawn they set up. At that time, his majesty would try every means to eliminate Prince Jing.
That was the last thing she wanted to see.
