Wang Jinyan giggled, "whatever. Life is short, I will just do what I like."
Wang Jinyan kept urging Yun Shang to play against her. Yun Shang had no choice but to change into some casual clothes in her room. Then she took Wang Jinyan to the training ground in Prince Jing's mansion. This was the first time that Yun Shang came to the training ground, which was a open place. Weapon racks were on both sides. Yun Shang still chose her favorite dagger, and Wang Jinyan chose a whip.
They were familiar with each other and didn't need to stand on ceremony. They fought soon. Wang Jinyan chose the whip, and it was more convenient and easy to attack from a distance. Yun Shang was good at attacking. She had spent about an hour to attack her, and finally won.
Wang Jinyan's eyes twinkled. "My father said my whip skill was good, but I lost to you. Shang'er, you are awesome."
Yun Shang liked Wang Jinyan's ingenuous manner. She smiled and said, "in fact, I don't have much thoughts on martial arts. I only have a year, where I cultivated day and night, and the people fighting with me are usually killers who kill people. What they taught me wasn't good-looking. There weren't any styles, but it was very practical."
Wang Jinyan nodded, "well, I like whip because it's also good-looking. It's a combination of toughness and gentleness. Now it seems to be also a weakness." Then Wang Jinyan seemed to remember something and whispered in Yun Shang's ear, "I heard that Jing Wenxi has some grudges with you and I will tell you a secret..."
Yun Shang's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Jinyan's words. She hurriedly asked with a smile on her face, "really?"
Wang Jinyan smiled and nodded. "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but a maid in Jing's mansion walked in on them and she was poisoned. Jing Wenxi wanted to put her to death, but the girl was smart enough to run away. I brought her back after seeing her pitiful face, so I knew it. I'm not a gossip girl. I just heard that Jing Wenxi hurt the youngest Prince and coveted his highness. I think it's time to tell you this. You can take revenge as you like."
Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "thank you for such an interesting news. If you are free, send me an invitation. I'll treat you to Yuman tower."
Wang Jinyan smiled, "then I'll wait." Then she said goodbye and left Prince Jing's mansion.
Yun Shang thought about what Wang Jinyan said a moment ago. She called Qian Yin in and asked, "I asked you to send someone to kill Jing Wenxi. Haven't you killed her yet?"
Qian Yin was stunned for a moment and then sighed. "Your Highness, the night is dark and windy. How dare I act rashly in broad daylight?"
"That's good." Yun Shang smiled and knocked on the table, "Jing Wenxi's life should be kept for me in the first place..."
Seeing Yun Shang's thoughtful expression, Qian Yin knew that Jing Wenxi was about to suffer.
The new imperial edict that the emperor had issued to the emperor lasted for a night without any accident. The news had been spread around the imperial city just in a morning. It seemed that Jing Wenxi indeed succeeded in tempting the emperor, and Liu Qingya was the empress chosen by the God.
Hearing those rumors, Yun Shang shook her head. The so-called rumors, in fact, every time it was someone who had ulterior motives.
Yun Shang hadn't visited her mother for a long time, so she had prepared a carriage and went into the palace in advance.
Lady Jin was feeding Chenxi. She smiled at Yun Shang as she sat on the edge of the bed. "Is his highness feeling better? I heard that he fainted several days ago? I've been busy recently and haven't had time to go to see him."
Hearing lady Jin's question, Yun Shang lowered her head and answered softly, "his highness is fine. The wound has healed well. It was just because of the snow that day that he slipped and tore his wound. It's no big deal."
Now he must be more energetic than anybody else. Yun Shang thought to herself. She was suffering from the pain day and night these days, hoping that her period would come as soon as possible, so she could rest for a few days.
Yun Shang flushed at the thought. She forced a smile and said, "Chenxi, don't cry. You're such a sweet boy."
