Chapter 119 Hua Jing Is Released From Prison (Part Two)

On the way, Emperor Ning suddenly asked, "Why did you intercede for your sister?"

Yun Shang gave a smile, "It was Uncle Jing's idea. He asked me to tell you that the third Prince of the State of Yelang entered the Imperial City secretly. Today, I took Uncle Jing's carriage to the countryside, but a man suddenly ran into the middle of the road and was hit by the carriage. He deliberately prodded me and my servant girl so that we would get off the carriage. That's how he learned of my identity. Uncle Jing said he was the third Prince of the State of Yelang."

Emperor Ning furrowed his brows upon hearing her words. He understood why Prince Jing asked Yun Shang to intercede for Hua Jing. The third Prince of the State of Yelang had asked to marry Hua Jing. After he entered the Imperial City, he would have learned of Hua Jing's imprisonment. However, he managed to see Yun Shang after he got the news. He might have changed his target to Yun Shang.

Emperor Ning looked at Yun Shang and shook his head, 'Yun Shang is Lady Jin's daughter. I've already hurt Lady Jin. I can't hurt her daughter.'

Emperor Ning had made his decision. He said, "Yun Shang, don't leave the Imperial Palace for a few days."

Yun Shang agreed, "Uncle Jing said the same to me. I won't leave the Imperial Palace. Father, don't worry."

Emperor Ning nodded, "Why did you ask to bring Lady Qingya into the Imperial Palace. Was it Prince Jing's idea too?" Emperor Ning suddenly became wary of Lady Qingya. If she was Prince Jing's hired spy, he couldn't sleep with her.

Yun Shang shook her head and looked a little shy, "She performed such a wonderful sword-dance. Uncle Jing is a military general, and I guess he might like sword-dance. So I want to learn it."

Hearing her words and seeing her shy expression, Emperor Ning laughed out loud, "Yun Shang, you've grown up."

They talked with each other for a while before Yun Shang said goodbye to Emperor Ning and went back to Qingxin Palace.

The next day, Emperor Ning issued a decree which stated that the conspirator that poisoned Li Yingying on New Year's Eve had been found. It was Li Yingying's sister who was born of the same father but a different mother. The lady's mother was a servant girl, so Grand Councilor Li's eldest son was unwilling to admit to the lady's identity and made the lady Li Yingying's servant. The lady harbored resentment toward everyone in the Li Clan, so she poisoned Li Yingying.

No one wanted to figure out how a servant girl from the Grand Councilor's House was able to put poison onto Li Yingying's Pipa at the heavily guarded Imperial Palace.

Hua Jing was then released. Soon after, Emperor Ning issued a second decree to declare the divorce of Hua Jing and her husband. As Emperor Ning deliberately concealed the fact that Zhao Yingjie was still alive, there were few d

d. If I marry you, I would have the support of Emperor Ning, the Empress, and Grand Councilor Li. That's a better deal! We had a wonderful time together. Aren't you going to help me? Besides, you have been married before. Who dares marry you in the State of Ning? If I become the Crown Prince of the State of Yelang, you would be the wife of the Crown Prince. After I become the Emperor, you would be the Empress. Don't you want to be the Empress?" Qingsu raised his eyebrows as he stared at Hua Jing with gleaming eyes.

The Empress... The word excited Hua Jing. After a long time, she eventually shook her head. "I'm the beloved daughter of my father and mother. They are not willing to send me far away to marry you. As for my marriage, it's none of your business..."

Qingsu gave a vicious look as he heard her words, but then he changed to a smile, "That day in the military camp, you and I were perfectly matched in bed. I have missed you so much. Did you miss me? I finally managed to arrive at the Imperial City. Hua Jing, what about we revisit that wonderful experience tonight?"

Hua Jing was taken aback. She bit her lower lip for a long time, and then murmured, "You are insane."

Qingsu put his mouth to Hua Jing's ear, "I am insane, but it is only because I missed you so much. Hua Jing, you can go back to the Princess Palace first. I'll call on you later."

Hua Jing frowned and wanted to refuse him, but Qingsu turned and left.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Hua Jing's servant ran to her when she saw the man leaving.

Hua Jing stamped her foot and stated viciously, "I'm okay. Ask the butler to ask all the guards to be on patrol tonight. If they meet any casual visitors, just kill them."

The servant didn't know Hua Jing's intention, but she answered in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness." Then she helped Hua Jing get in the carriage, and the carriage began moving again.
