Chapter 171 Who Is The Assassin (Part One)

"Oh?" Yun Shang looked at Qian Yin. "Did the third Prince of the State of Yelang breed enmity with others?"

Yun Shang glanced around and saw that everyone was buried in thought. They seemed to wonder who stabbed Cangjue Qingsu and why he was stabbed.

Everyone remained silent in the yard before someone said from outside, "Shang'er, since the third Prince was stabbed and injured, everyone present is a suspect. Go meet His Majesty."

All the girls became worried. They never thought that they would encounter such a terrible experience here. Yun Shang pacified them with a smile. "Don't worry. We were all in the yard. No one had time to attempt an assassination on the third Prince. They will just ask you questions as a matter of routine."

What Yun Shang said relieved them. They stood up, put on their veils, and followed Yun Shang out of the yard.

Prince Jing stood under a cherry tree outside the yard. When the wind blew, the cherry blossoms on the tree fell on Prince Jing. Hearing footsteps, Prince Jing raised his head and saw Yun Shang and the others walking out of the garden. He looked much more handsome under the cherry tree. At the sight of Yun Shang who walked out first, Prince Jing smiled. His typical indifferent expression changed to a gentle one and entranced the other girls.

"Shang'er." Prince Jing said gently.

Yun Shang sighed and thought, 'He must do it deliberately. Even if I don't look back, I know the girls following me must be fascinated.'

"I just heard that th

he did that at the order of the Emperor."

"How dare you!" Yun Shang growled at the man and sneered. "Since your Prince was stabbed here, we will investigate and punish the assassin severely. You keep saying that my father ordered the stabbing of your Prince. Do you have any evidence? If one smears His Majesty in our state, then generations of his family will be implicated. Tell me. If it is proved that this matter has nothing to do with my father, do you dare to take the responsibility?"

The man was tall and strong with a fierce look. Originally, he was careless and contemptuous, but he wore a scared expression now.

"You…" The man stammered.

Yun Shang sneered, "Me? I'm Princess Hui Guo of the State of Ning. I respect you as our guest, but I hope that you know your place. Don't forget that you are now in the State of Ning."

The man blushed with embarrassment. He wanted to respond but was stopped by his fellow companions. So he just stamped his foot in anger and turned his head away.
