Chapter 120 Prince Jing's Purpose (Part One)

That night, there were more guards outside the Princess Palace than usual. They patrolled back and forth and left no gap in their shifts, which made it impossible for anyone to sneak into the Palace. Yun Shang worried that bringing too many people with her would get them caught, so she only brought Ning Qian. When they arrived, she realized that she had worried too much. The guards were just normal servants whose Kung Fu knowledge was only enough to protect themselves from an attack, but not enough to keep dangerous people outside the Palace.

Yun Shang and Ning Qian found a place to hide. They stayed on the roof right on top of Hua Jing's bedroom, which was coincidentally located on a corner. There was no way that they could be found under the cover of the night.

After they settled on the roof, Yun Shang quietly lifted a tile from the roof. While the tile was above the middle of the bedroom, which made it convenient for Yun Shang to observe what was happening in the room, it's placement also put her at risk of discovery. So she put it back and left a small gap.

Hua Jing was sitting on a chair and seemed fidgety. After sitting for less than fifteen minutes, she stood and paced back and forth. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Prince Qingsu. She wondered how he had arrived at the Imperial City so soon, and how he had found out that she was not Princess Hui Guo. 'Should I pay a visit to the Grand Councilor's Mansion and ask for help from grandpa?' Well, she intended to ask for her mother's help. But since her mother had been grounded, her grandpa told her not to make too much trouble and worsen the situation.

So she had to seek her grandpa's help. But if grandpa asks how she met Prince Qingsu, what would she tell him? Should she tell him the truth that she was captured by him at the border, and stayed in his camp for a very long time, and was even forced to have sex with him? This was something that she would definitely not tell anyone. Besides, if the secret was exposed to the public, she and grandpa would face the accusation of treason. That was too much for them.

But thinking back on what Prince Qingsu had offered, it seemed that he actually wanted to marry her. Hua Jing bit her lip and pondered. Indeed, being the Empress of Yelang was a huge temptation, but since Yelang State was not at all comparable to the State of Ning in wealth, she would not go to that barren land by any chance.

Hua Jing subconsciously placed her hand on her belly. She felt a little annoyed. What's inside her belly was also trouble. She had planned to drink a decoction to abort the fetus without being noticed, but somehow the prescription hadn't worked and she was still carrying the baby. What's more bothering is that she couldn't see a physician or seek any medical advice. So this issue had been dragged out to this date. Hua Jing was well aware of methods to get rid of the fetus. She could have just arranged for a

ng.

Prince Jing looked really upset. He kept a poker-face and acted as cold as stone. He held her in his arms and leapt away from the Princess Palace. The whole time, he kept Yun Shang's mouth covered. After they had left the Palace, Prince Jing finally removed his hand. He lifted Yun Shang on to a horse, cracked his whip, and galloped to his mansion.

"What are you doing? Qian Qian is still there. If she is found by Prince Qingsu, we are over." Yun Shang couldn't hold back her anger, so she scolded Prince Jing.

But the man behind her kept silent. He galloped to the gate of his mansion, then helped Yun Shang dismount before carrying her inside.

Prince Jing's butler was in shock. Seeing Prince Jing's angry face, he knew something must have upset him. But the girl in his arms...... The butler took a long time to focus and then recognized Princess Hui Guo. And the Princess looked angry, too.

He was in greater shock now. Why did the Prince bring the Princess to the mansion?

But he didn't dare to say anything. He could only look at them as Prince Jing led Princess Hui Guo into the yard.

It was not until they arrived in Prince Jing's room that he put Yun Shang down. Yun Shang was still worried about Ning Qian, so she rushed outside.

"Stop. I hit an acupoint that would only keep her still for fifteen minutes. She should be fine now."

Knowing that Prince Jing wouldn't lie to her, Yun Shang felt a bit relieved. But she was still angry at him. "Uncle, why did you do that?"

Prince Jing said coldly, "Why did I do that? Why don't you ask yourself that question? I specifically told you not to go out of the Palace in case Prince Qingsu noticed you and made his schemes against you. But look at what you've done. Sneaking out of the Palace at middle of the night? Going to Hua Jing's Palace? You even stayed on the roof and watched them do that thing! That filthy scene! Aren't you afraid that it will leave a bad influence on you?"
