An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 255 Convincing The People (Part Two)

Qi Lang clenched his fists, and veins stood out on his forehead. After a while, he responded, "yes, I

understand your teachings."

Yun Shang knew that he thought she had embarrassed him just now, and might not really take her

words seriously. But it would leave indelible marks in his heart. That was enough. In this way, she had

prestige in the hearts of these generals behind her. She would make Qi Lang work for her willingly one

day.

"Back to the camp." Yun Shang spoke loudly. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She took the lead in riding the horse.

Yun Shang didn't linger in the camp any longer. She just said a few words with other generals before

she went back to the General Qi's Mansion.

As soon as Yun Shang came back, Qian Yin helped her take off her cloak, and asked someone to bring

water for her. Then Qian Yin said gently, "It's so cold outside. Don't go to bed with a cold wind, your

highness. Just take a bath first."

Yun Shang had no choice but to listen to Qian Yin. She first bathed in the bathroom, and then went

back to the inner room. As soon as she got back to the inner room, she threw herself on the bed, "I'm

so sleepy. I don't want to fight against anyone in the army. But the Xia's army only knows about night

attack and forbids people from sleeping..."

Qian Yin laughed. "Did you forget that you were willing to do all these things?" After thinking for a while,

she added, "I don't know how his highness is going. If his highness returns to his mansion as soon as

possible, he will replace you and take over the imperial household. By then, your highness can be

relieved. Do you want to write a letter to ask him?"

There was no answer for a long time. Qian Yin turned around in surprise and saw the woman on the

bed asleep in a short time. She couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was hard for her to be so drowsy

like her highness.

Since the night attack that day, the military in the Xia camp had deployed more troops, no longer

delayed as before.

Yun Shang was also invited to the army by Qi Lang to discuss a few war events. She also knew more

about the situation in the army. Qi Lang had five generals and seven hundred captains. The generals

knew Yun Shang well and admired her.

"Now we are in the camp and waiting for Xia Houjing. According to your commands, we're on full alert

inside and outside the camp." The one who talked to Yun Shang was General Wang Chong, who had

grown fonder with her these days.

Yun Shang nodded and looked at the map made of sand.

"Today, I'm still guessing with General Liu Hua that how the Crown Prince of the State of Xia, Xia

Houyan, will come." Seeing that Yun Shang was looking at the sand picture, Wang Chong smiled and

said.

Hearing this, Liu Hua laughed too. "General Wang guesses it's from Liuyun mountain, and I guessed

it's from the Spring Water. The one who loses will pay the winner to have a meal at the Yuman Tower in

the city. Would you like to join us? Ha ha, General Wang is known for guarding his wealth and is well-

known in our army. We'll definitely make him pay a big fortune this time."

Hearing his words, Wang Chong gave him a stare and said, "it's not sure whether I'll win or lose. Who's

going to pay the bill?"

Yun Shang listened with a smile. When they were tired from the argument, she said, "I bet on the Wind

Valley."

Everyone in the tent was surprised. They looked at Yun Shang for a while, and even Qi Lang looked at

her. Then he asked, "why do you choose the Wind Valley?"

Yun Shang smiled with a cunning look, "That's because no one has chosen the Wind Valley. If I win,

both of you can buy me a meal. It's a good deal. Moreover, as far as I know, Xia Houyan loves military

tactics best. If I were Xia Houyan or Liu Yinfeng, I would choose an extremely dangerous place.

Although the Wind Valley is dangerous, it's well concealed in the dense forest and better than the troop

that we send to obstruct."

Qi Lang nodded, which was rare to see. "You are right. However, no matter which way the Xia's army

chooses in the end, I will try my best to defeat them and make them never come back again."

Yun Shang said with a smile, "Good spirit, general."

When Yun Shang went back to the General Qi's Mansion, she took over a letter from Qian Yin. Qian

Yin said that the secret guard had torn off several horses and brought them here last night. So she

assumed that Prince Jing had something urgent to tell her.

Yun Shang unfolded the letter in a hurry, but what she saw was a crumpled letter, in which several bold

words were written. "Your Highness, I'm glad that you've decided to have a concubine."

Nothing else. Yun Shang couldn't help but be stunned. Was this the letter he sent that night in an

urgent manner?

Feeling angry, Yun Shang smashed the letter on the table. Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Qian Yin

asked in confusion, "is there anything serious?" So she took a look at the letter, and she couldn't help

but burst into laughter.

"Your highness, I'm afraid his highness is jealous. Hahaha..." Qian Yin couldn't help but laugh after she

finished her words. She looked at Yun Shang teasingly. "It's rare for the prince to be so angry. Even

from the letter, I can image what he looks like. Look at this crumpled letter, his highness must be

desperate to rub it randomly as this letter. Look at the words on the back of the paper, and he must

have written them down with clenched teeth. "

Yun Shang lifted her eyes to glance at Qian Yin. Then she clenched her teeth and raised her hand,

pretending that she wanted to slap the maid. "Qian Yin, you know a lot about his highness. That's it!

Tell me, did you tell anyone about what happened to me? It was you who visited Qi Yufeng that day!"

Qian Yin dodged Yun Shang's hand and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, you are clear minded. There

were many other maids carrying gifts with me when I went there that day. Perhaps it is one of them.

Your highness, don't wrong me. I'm loyal and devoted to you. The sun and moon can prove it."

Yun Shang snorted in fake annoyance. She then asked Qian Yin to leave. Then she sat on her chair,

crumpled the letter into a ball and said hatefully, "It's none of your business. It's just a concubine. I'm a

princess and I don't care what others think of me. I am the princess, don't I deserve to have a

concubine?"

Then she unfolded the letter, snorted, and put it into a book she often read. A faint smile appeared on

her face. She always thought of the words Qian Yin said, "I'm afraid his highness is jealous..."

Is he really jealous? Yun Shang opened her book and thought about this question all the time. She and

Prince Jing treated each other with due respect even after their marriage. And they never acted

crossing the line. This wedding had their own motives, and Yun Shang had never expected too much

from it. However, she was a little looking forward to it. In fact, she didn't know what she was expecting,

but she seemed to expect something from the bottom of her heartIt should have something to do with

Prince Jing.

She had been expecting that they could get along like normal couples.

Yun Shang's mind had been in a mess for the whole day. At dusk, a secret guard from the State of

Yelang finally drew her back. "Your highness, Princess Hua Jing has become a favorite concubine of

the eldest prince of the State of Yelang. She has been very favored recently. It seems that she is

pregnant. For the sake of Princess Hua Jing, the eldest prince of the State of Yelang even neglected

the lady, which displeased the people behind him."

Yun Shang was shocked. Hua Jing... She hadn't heard the name for a long time, which almost made

Yun Shang forget her existence. But how come Hua Jing became the eldest prince's favorite concubine

when she was abducted to the State of Yelang, since she had a close relationship with Cangjue

Qingsu?

"How did Hua Jing become the prince's favorite concubine?" Yun Shang squinted. A murderous light

flashed across her eyes.

The secret guard hastened to explain. "When Princess Hua Jing arrived in the State of Yelang, she was

housed in a separate yard by the Third Prince of the State of Yelang. The prince was saved by her in

an assassination. Princess Hua Jing didn't hide her identity. She only said she came here to find the

missing Emperor's son in law, and was carried into the mansion by the eldest prince. I don't know why,

but she accepted it."

Yun Shang knew Hua Jing's way of seducing men. But she didn't expect her to get close to the eldest

prince of the State of Yelang again. Yun Shang admired her very much and asked, "Did the eldest

prince of the State of Yelang send someone to investigate the background of Hua Jing?"

"Yes, he did. Princess Hua Jing carried her jade pendant, and her face was exactly the same as the

portrait. The prince never doubted her identity."

Yun Shang lowered her head and began to read the scroll. The surprise brought by Hua Jing was

already suppressed in her heart, and there was no sign of it at all.

But it's funny that a princess of a country should be reduced to work as a spy in order to help an

enemy's Prince.

Yun Shang sighed. She was afraid that her father would be furious for a long time once he heard the

news.

It was a pity that she wanted to kill Hua Jing in time. But she could do nothing now in the JY City. Yun

Shang pinched through the pages and came to herself. She nodded, "Arrange servants in the eldest

prince's mansion."

The secret guard answered and then asked, "Your Highness, the baby Princess Hua Jing is carrying

seems to have been induced with some medicine. I have asked a secret guard who has good medical

skills to dress up as a doctor and go to the hospital. Her highness, this baby... may not live until it's

born. Can we allow its existence?"

Yun Shang squinted her eyes and a smile appeared on her face. "I'm afraid we don't even need to take

action. No matter where we are, women's fight in the mansion is always inevitable. It all depends on

Hua Jing's ability. If the baby is born, we will come up with another plan..."
