Chapter 314 Countermeasures (1/2)
With a wealthy and amiable look, Jing Kui curtsied to Yun Shang, ”Your Highness.”
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and looked at the map for a while. Then she curved a smile on her lips and said, ”Congratulations, grand councilor Jing. Your luck is going well with your official career. Miss Jing will soon become the empress of the state of Ning. You are so lucky.”
Prince Jing snickered when he heard it. Yun Shang smiled faintly. When her eyes fell on Jing Wenxi, she moved away quickly. When Lord Zheng opened the door and came out, he saw the three of them. He was stunned before he said with a smile, ”your ladyship, Master Jing, Miss Jing, his majesty is waiting for your arrival.”
Yun Shang nodded and entered the qinzheng hall. Emperor Ning was there, and there was another man sitting on the chair in front. Yun Shang recognized that the man was the Master of Astronomy and his name seemed to be Liu Guangyu. Although so many troubles had happened recently, Emperor Ning didn't show any anxiety. When he saw Yun Shang, Master Jing and Miss Jing, he asked with a smile, ”you are here? Please take your seat. ”
After the three sat down, Emperor Ning meditated for a moment and said, ”I summoned you here for the gossips outside. Although I'm the emperor, I can not completely ignore the will of the commoners. Now that so many commoners have knelt down at the palace gate, I'm really having a headache.”
When Yun Shang arrived at the palace, she saw many commoners kneeling on the ground in front of the palace in such a cold day. Even guards couldn't drive them away, only asking His Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict.
Yun Shang looked at Jing Wenxi, and found that she looked unhappy, but she still stated calmly. ”It's not Jing Wenxi's fortune. The emperor, feeling content with the people's wishes, cancelled the imperial edict.” She bit her lips slightly with stubbornness, and her eyes sparkled with water. She took a deep look at emperor Ning and lowered her head, her eyelashes quivering.
Wonderful! Yun Shang thought to herself. Even the man with a tender heart couldn't bear a woman to compromise.
Emperor Ning frowned, but soon responded, ”Wen Xi, you don't need to worry about it. I will solve it. As his majesty, do I have to get everyone's approval to marry a woman?”
Jing Wenxi lowered her head, speechless.
Jing Kui said, ”The imperial edict has been issued but has been stained, and we can't stop it. I guess that even if it has been delivered to each city, it would have caused accident. However, even the imperial guards and secret guards have shown up, they can't catch the criminal. Rumor has it that Wenxi failed in the past, so the strange phenomenon appeared from the heaven. I think if we ask a person who is well-known in the society to tell us the truth and find the true murderer on the broad daylight. After your majesty gets married, we can say that the true murderer has been found. ”
