As soon as Yun Shang reached the door of the mansion, she heard the sound of horses' hooves. She turned around hastily and saw Luo Qingyan, followed by several secret guards.
As soon as Luo Qingyan saw Yun Shang, he got off the horse and took a look at the carriage. Then he turned to Yun Shang with a frown. "Why are you out at this late hour? It's not funny."
Yun Shang let out a sigh of relief and quickly said, "You have been out for so long. I'm worried and want to see how it is going."
Luo Qingyan looked around, and then walked inside with Yun Shang in his arms. "Let's go back first."
When they got back, Luo Qingyan tossed his cloak to Qian Zhuo and ordered, "It's late now. Let all the secret guards retreat to have a rest."
Qian Zhuo responded and left. Then Luo Qingyan went to wash his hands in the bathroom. He took Yun Shang to sit on the couch and said, "Don't go out late at night again. If I hadn't come back in time today, we would have missed each other. What if something happens then?"
Yun Shang nodded and asked, "How is it going?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head and sneered, "The seventh prince is really a tough nut to crack. Before the two groups of secret guards were out of the city, he asked his men to abduct them. When he found that they didn't have what he wanted, he quickly returned to his mansion. And the secret guards hurried back."
Yun Shang also frowned at his words. They had thought that the city would be in danger, so they thought the seventh prince would send some people to follow the shadow guards out of the city. They didn't expect that the seventh prince would be so bold, which messed up their original plan.
"What should we do now?" Yun Shang frowned, "What did the secret guard put in the seventh prince's mansion?"
Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and said, "A corpse."
Then he continued with a frown, "But if we can't light up a fire, then the corpse won't work. On the contrary, the seventh prince will doubt it. By that time, it will be much harder for us to do anything else."
Yun Shang sighed. Things had gotten worse.
Luo Qingyan stood up and smiled, "It's midnight now. We might not come up with any good idea even we are so worried. Let's get some sleep."
Yun Shang saw that he also looked unwell, so she nodded, helped Luo Qingyan take off his clothes, put down the bed curtain and went to bed.
Yun Shang had just got up. With all the mess, she wasn't too sleepy now. She tried to think about how to deal with it. The most important thing was that since it failed, she couldn't let the seventh prince find the corpse.
'should I tell Hua Yutong this thing and ask her to take the corpse water to deal with the corpse?'
Yun Shang hesitated. She didn't know Hua Yutong very much. If what Qin Yi said was true, Hua Yutong was pretending all the time, which confused Yun Shang. Would she trust her or not...
She was struggling with these thoughts, bu
ua Guo she saw Yun Shang, she smiled. "How lovely, Shang'er."
Yun Shang nodded and walked towards the stone table with a smile. She looked at the fox on the table and said, "This little fox looks very beautiful. No wonder grandma is so happy."
Hua Yutong stood up in a hurry, "Shang'er, sit here."
"It doesn't matter. I have been sitting in the carriage for long and just want to stand for a while." Yun Shang replied with a smile.
She looked at the little fox up and down for a long time. Yun Shang reached out her hand from her sleeve to touch the head of the little fox. But the little fox suddenly rushed toward her face as if it were going nuts. Yun Shang dodged. Qian Zhuo walked up hurriedly and stood in front of Yun Shang, stretching out her hand to hit the little fox. The little fox was slapped away by her hand. It fell heavily on the ground, struggled for a few times, and then died.
Everyone was shocked. Lady Hua Guo stood and walked to Yun Shang. She examined her carefully, but still felt worried. She asked worriedly, "Are you hurt?"
Yun Shang's face was pale. She kept silent for a moment and shook her head. She looked at the fox's body with a frown. "Nothing. It's just this little fox..." Yun Shang looked up at the seventh prince and the stunned Hua Yutong, and shouted at Qian Zhuo, "Apologize to the seventh prince and the seventh princess."
On hearing this, Qian Zhuo instantly knelt on the ground and apologized, "Your Highnesses, please forgive me."
Lady Hua Guo sighed, "I'm glad you're all right. It's just an animal. We could hunt another one."
"But I heard Yutong say that this one was caught by the seventh prince himself. It means a lot. But now..."
The seventh prince regained his composure and said with a smile, "It's the beast's fault. I thought it was lovely, so I gave it to Yutong, but I didn't expect him to go mad and almost hurt sister-in-law. If you don't feel well, I'll be the one to blame. "
