Chapter 152 The Real Kidnapper Behind The Scenes (Part Two)

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."

Prince Jing gave a sneering laugh. "You are the only woman in my secret guards, so I asked you to

protect her. Now that you don't like the arrangement, there is no difference between your presence or

absence. Go to your leader, take the punishment and get out of my shadow guards."

Jing Ying thought Prince Jing would beat or scold her at worst. She had not expected that he would try

to dislodge her from the shadow guards. She gave a shudder and looked at Prince Jing in disbelief.

Then she asked, "Your Highness, you want to remove me from the shadow guards for her?"

Prince Jing calmly stared at Jing Ying for a long time before he said, "You were all chosen and nurtured

by me, and I cherish each of my shadow guards very much. However, no matter how excellent a

person is, once unfaithful to me, he or she is a disaster, which will be fatal when a problem occurs. I will

never allow such an uncertainty to exist. I've made up my mind. Go."

Jing Ying was stunned. Tears rolled down her face. She begged, "Your Highness, I will protect Her

Highness. Please forgive me for being silly. From now on, I won't have any delusions. If Her Highness

gets hurt even in the slightest, I will die for it."

Prince Jing shook his head and firmly said, "I've made up my mind."

"Uncle, I think her Kung Fu is wonderful. It's a pity to remove her from the shadow guards. Now that

you don't want her anymore, give her to me. I'm short of a guard." A clear, cold voice came. Prince Jing

and Jing Ying turned around, and saw a woman standing behind the door. Her face was as beautiful as

jade, and her hair flew freely over her shoulders.

Prince Jing knitted his brows and said, "I have many shadow guards. If you want guards, just pick

some."

Yun Shang refused with a smile, "But she's the only female shadow guard. I am a woman after all, so it

will be a bit unseemly to be protected by several men." With that, she looked intently at the woman

kneeling on the ground. She ignored Prince Jing, and asked, "Would you like to be my shadow guard?"

Jing Ying was dumbfound, but thought, 'Princess Yun Shang would have heard the conversation. She

knows I don't like her. Then why does she dare to keep me around?'

Jing Ying knew that she was a little envious of Princess Yun Shang who had the most exalted status.

When Prince Jing sent her to protect Yun Shang, she thought Yun Shang was just a Princess in a

prominent position. Having shadowed the Princess for a while, Jing Ying had seen what the Princess

had done. She couldn't help admiring the Princess, although she still did not like her. The Princess was

much younger than Jing Ying, but she felt that on many things, she might not do as well as Yun Shang

had done.

Jing Ying found that Yun Shang was good enough to be worthy of the man she had always admired.

So she became even more unbalanced and did not take Yun Shang seriously.

Unexpectedly, she ended up like this. What's more, the person who helped her when she was going

through something so embarrassing was the one she did not like.

After quite a while, Jing Ying did a small curtsy to Yun Shang and said, "Yes, I'd like to, Your Highness."

She thought that although Princess Yun Shang now was her Ladyship, she would be content to see

Prince Jing whenever she could.

Yun Shang gave Jing Ying a nod, and said to Prince Jing, "Uncle, since Jing Ying is willing to be my Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

shadow guard, I should beg you for her. Please go easy on her."

Prince Jing's eyes flitted back and forth between them. He frowned. A moment passed before he

replied, "Now that she has identified you as her Ladyship, she is yours. It's up to you."

"Okay, " Yun Shang answered, and turned to Jing Ying, "Then go down and wait for my orders. I'm

sleepy. I'm going to bed first."

Jing Ying nodded and watched as Yun Shang entered the bedroom followed by Prince Jing. She

paused and knelt for more than an hour before getting up. She looked sad.

The night grew blacker. In Wen Mansion, Ruyu sat at the table. She seemed a little lost. "What's the

matter with you, Ruyu?" Lady Wen asked with a frown. "You look pale. Are you feeling sick? I heard

that you went to Prince Shun Qing's Mansion with your mother today. Is everything well?"

Ruyu returned to her senses and instantly shook her head before answering, "I'm fine, grandma. I was

thinking about what kind of embroidery design I would use to embroider the flower that I'm working on.

Many styles are out of date. I want to find some new ones."

Lord Wen's eyes flickered over Ruyu. He didn't saying anything.

Lady Wen was very glad to hear that. She said, "You really are the most talented. I heard from your

aunt the other day that you have learned double-sided embroidery. I learned it when I was young, but I

never mastered it. And you got the hang of it in a few days. You're so smart. Lady Shun Qing likes

embroidery very much. I will ask someone to find some new designs for you. When you're finished,

give it to Lady Shun Qing. She is your sister's mother-in-law. If you please her, your sister's life will be

easy. Your sister is the most promising person in Wen Mansion. You have to work hard."

Ruyu frowned. She got a little angry, but dared not to show it on her face. She agreed in a low voice

and said no more.

After accompanying Lady Wen for a while, Ruyu had supper in Lady Wen's yard. Then her father called

her into his study and gave her some orders.

After that, Ruyu returned to her own yard. She changed into a servant girl's clothes, and went towards

the side yard. It had already started getting dark.

The guards in the side yard gave her a cold look before letting her in. They were a little remorseful, for

the two guards on the afternoon watch had fallen asleep by accident. Fortunately, the abductee was

still in the house when they woke. Otherwise, they would all die.

The woman lying on the hay had not yet awakened. She frowned in her dreams and seemed very

uncomfortable. "I can't believe you've fallen into my hands. It's a pity that you were drugged and are in

a coma. Although I want you to wake up and feel pain, I know it's better to do it like this. Thank me."

Ruyu said coldly. A cold glint reflected in her eyes at the sight of Yun Shang.

With a sneer, she took the dagger by her side and drew it from its sheath. The dagger flashed a frosty

light in the air. Ruyu held the dagger to Yun Shang's face and laughed, "It's a lovely face. I'll ruin it..."

Then she moved her hand and the dagger cut Yun Shang's face....
