Jing Kui was assassinated by the emperor, and Li Jingyan had just been put in prison and died. Jing Wenxi and Yun Shang had been given all of them to Emperor Ning, so they didn't ask anything about it. Soon it was eighth of the April.
On April 8th, the weather was a bit cloudy, which was a good day for parting. Yun Shang looked down at the plum blossoms embroidered on the hem of her dress and thought to herself.
Xia Huanyu and Prince Jing went to the palace together to say goodbye to Emperor Ning. As a woman, she was not allowed to enter the palace on such an occasion. At this moment, she could do nothing but wait outside the Imperial City, waiting for Xia Huanyu and Prince Jing to come back. Then they could all set out.
Qian Yin and Yun Shang were in the same carriage. Qian Yin poked her head out of the window and looked out. She said in a somewhat disappointed voice, "Your Highness, is something wrong in the palace? Why didn't lady Jin come here to see you? "
Yun Shang glanced at Qian Yin and said to her, "no need to look. Mother will not come here. I didn't tell her that I will leave the imperial city today."
Qian Yin turned her head abruptly at Yun Shang's words. As she was about to hit the wall of the carriage, she lowered her head and looked at Yun Shang with her eyes wide open in surprise. "Didn't your highness tell lady Jin about this? Why is that? "
Yun Shang looked down, "for no reason, what I fear most is to leave. If mother cries, I'm afraid I will regret doing this."
A noise came. It seemed that someone came from outside. Qian Yin glared at Yun Shang and put her head out again. After a while, she said excitedly to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, his highn
k. I can protect you anyway. "
Yun Shang nodded her head, and flashed her mother a smile. But then she put on a forced smile as if she had just learned how to smile.
"You'd better have a child as soon as possible, or you will be lonely in the State of Xia." Lady Jin softly ordered her.
"Okay." Yun Shang could only say "yes". She was afraid that with one more word, she would be unable to hold back her tears.
Lady Jin smiled at her response. "Well, I'll go back now. Just go back, in case they go away and you can't catch them up." Then she held the reins firmly, turned around and walked towards the gate of the city.
Looking at her retreating back, Yun Shang choked with sobs, standing there.
"Shang'er, it is time to go." A voice came from behind her. Yun Shang wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes, turned around and said with a forced smile, "okay. Let's go... " Then she rode to the man who was waiting for her not far away. 'Now I only have him, ' she thought to herself.
Prince Jing walked to Yun Shang's side, got on the horse, and held her in his arms. He said softly, "shang'er, thank you so much."
