Chapter 183 Where Is Prince Jing (Part Two)

Yun Shang fell silent as it reminded her of another accident that happened today. Wen Ruyu seemed prepared when she dressed like Yun Shang and tried to seduce Prince Jing, although he wasn't trapped. It was clear that she was an accomplice of the culprit, or at the very least, she knew them.

And it also came to Yun Shang that she was taken to Wen Mansion when she was kidnapped.

Perhaps, Ruyu was under the Grand Councilor's orders? It wouldn't be surprising as the Wen Clan worshiped Grand Councilor Li a lot.

Was the culprit Li Jingyan?

But... Yun Shang paused for a while. It was rather reckless of the Grand Councilor to do anything to Prince Jing now. It was a well-known fact that he and Prince Jing did not get along. If accidents happened to Prince Jing, most people would doubt the Grand Councilor first. What's more, Yelang's army was still laying siege, and the State of Xia was waiting for Ning to lower its guard. If the two countries joined together, the State of Ning would be in danger. No one else in Ning was as authoritative and resourceful as Prince Jing as a military leader. If misfortune happened to him, the State of Ning would also be at risk.

The Grand Councilor had been trying to replace Prince Jing with his own men over the years. But he had failed to find anyone with as much martial prowess as the Prince. At this crucial time, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Prince Jing.

Yun Shang turned to Qian Yin, and asked, "If you were the person who abducted Prince Jing, where would you take him?"

Qian Yin was stunned by the unexpected question. She paused for a while before answering, "Your Highness, you always said that the most dangerous place is also the safest. Perhaps, the culprit is hiding in the temporary imperial palace?"

Yun Shang smiled at her words, but didn'

y heard a low voice speaking, "I'm afraid they've found us. Let's transport Princess Yun Shang to His Lordship's mansion."

Yun Shang was surprised. Did they mention Princess Yun Shang? But she was right here.

Before she could think it over, she saw two men in gray clothes carrying a crimson figure dash out of the room. They disappeared in a few seconds.

"Your Highness..." Ning Qian quietly asked for her opinion.

Yun Shang cast a vexed glance at the direction in which the figures disappeared and murmured, "It seems I am their target, not uncle." Yun Shang had seen the woman's face. The woman they carried was Wen Ruyu, who had dressed in Yun Shang's clothes to seduce Prince Jing.

"Follow them. And report to me where they went. I need to return to the temporary imperial palace now." After giving her orders, Yun Shang turned and headed towards the palace. She thought to herself as she jumped between the trees and roofs, 'If he wasn't being held here, where could he be?'

"Your Highness! You are back!" As Yun Shang entered the inner chamber, she saw her maids pacing up and down the room. Anxiety reflected on their faces. Yun Shang smiled as she asked, "What happened? Did something happen?"
