Yun Shang changed into her new clothes and stepped out. Qin Yi stared at the Princess for a long while before speaking. "Your Highness looks quite elegant in this dress. The begonia flowers on it are beautiful."
Yun Shang smiled, "Come on. I don't feel like myself when wearing such a colorful dress. But its style is not bad. Qian Yin, ask them to use pear flowers instead. And change the dress to the color of pear flowers too. When it's done, send the dress to the Xiping Princess Palace. Tell them it's made for the guest there."
Qian Shui nodded, "Is there anything else that you need?"
Yun Shang shook her head, "No. That's all." Then she turned around and walked out of the shop. Qin Yi paid for the dress and quickly followed the Princess.
The three women wandered around casually. Before long, Yun Shang felt hungry. She looked up at the sky and found that it was already noon. It was time to find a place to eat. She took a turn and found herself walking into a back alley. She wasn't worried. Instead, she instructed her maids. "When we walk out of this alley, let's find a place to eat. I'm feeling hungry now."
Qin Yi and Qian Yin agreed; they were famished as well. Before Yun Shang could say more, the sound of several hurried footsteps came from behind her. Yun Shang stopped. The footsteps sounded closer.
"Your Highness, someone is following us." Qin Yi said with worry. As she was speaking, a dozen men in black stepped out of the shadows and surrounded them.
"What do you mean by this? Have I offended you?" Yun Shang frowned and blamed herself. She knew that staying in Hua Jing's Palace would be safe but stepping away from the Palace might be dangerous. And yet, she had left unprepared. If she called her people now, it's highly likely that she would undermine all her planning. She gauged that the threat posed by the men was not worth it.
A large man came forward. He seemed to be their leader. He looked at Yun Shang and said, "Your Highness, someone paid u
efense and War, Wang An. He was a well-known playboy and also a genius at Kung Fu. And he was good friends with Prince Jing, Luo Qingyan.
Prince Jing. Yun Shang frowned. In her previous life, she didn't have many opportunities to meet the Prince. But in this life, he seemed to be everywhere she went. Fortunately for Yun Shang, her association with Prince Jing in her current life was a beneficial one.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Well, in that case, I'll have to ask you for a favor. I'm known to be weak. I cannot bear with something as cruel as this. Why not kill him for me? By the way, I was just surrounded by a bunch of killers, and you came to my rescue. I'll ask for a reward for you from my Sister and Father. Now, I'm in shock. Please walk me back to the Princess Palace."
Wang Jinhuan's eyebrows twisted. "What? Excuse me? When did I save you?"
Yun Shang smiled. Her eyes reflected mischief. "Well, it was just a moment ago. And... Ah..." She shouted loudly.
Wang Jinhuan trembled. He quickly reached out and twisted the stalker's neck before letting his lifeless body tumble down the roof.
An instant later, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Wang Jinhuan ground his teeth. His eyes were full of anger. "Uncle and niece, what a cunning bloodline! I shouldn't have stepped in at all! How stupid am I?"
