To the state of Xia? Yun Shang lifted her eyes to look at Prince Jing. He looked calm but confused. Yun Shang didn't know how Prince Jing made a deal with Xia Huanyu, but she knew that some things were destined to happen, and they would come sooner or later.
This wasn't what she wanted, but it wasn't what Prince Jing wanted either. From the very beginning, he was the one who got hurt the most in the entire thing. But he had always been strong and didn't want to show his fragility in front of her, so she pretended that she never noticed it.
"Okay." Yun Shang chuckled, "as the saying goes, you will follow the one you married to. Since I'm married to you, of course I'll follow you."
Hearing Yun Shang's tease, Prince Jing's face softened. He held Yun Shang in his arms and finally gave her a faint smile, 'silly girl.'
The two of them rested for a while, and then took Qian Yin out of the mansion and headed for the heavenly prison. The head of court of justice had not come back yet. Only the Assistant Officer of court of justice was here. Just now, Yun Shang and Prince Jing came with emperor Ning, and the guards outside had all seen them. The Assistant Officer of court of justice had no doubt of the identity of the two. He said with curiosity, "I've heard that the prince just left with his wife. Is there anything wrong?"
Yun Shang shook her head with a smile. "I found something earlier when I checked it in the prison, but I didn't think of anything at that time. After I went back, I felt something wrong, but I couldn't figure out what it was, so I came back to have a look."
The Assistant Officer of court of justice, who seemed to be only twenty years old, was in a daze when he saw Yun Shang smiling at him. After a while, he hurried to say, "help yourself, your highness. Just now the head of the Court of Justice asked me to pack up something, but I'm afraid I can't go with you. The guards at the gate are just at your service."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "well, then I'll leave you be, your lordship."
After the Assistant Officer of the court of justice left, Yun Shang went into the prison with Prince Jing, without taking any guards. The burnt corpses were spread the smell of burning. The oil was a little lighter than before, but it was still filled with the nose.
Yun Shang frowned and said, "did your highness find that the oil smells more than normal. It makes me feel stuffy."
Prince Jing stood there for a while and said, "something was added to the oil."
Yun Shang asked Qian Yin behind her to take something to the corner to see if there is still burn gas. If possible, she would put it together and let someone see what was wrong with the gas.
Yun Shang walked to the door of Xia Houjing's jail and found that Xia Houjing's corpse had been transported to the post house. Yun Shang walked in and found some black small pieces on the place where Xia Houjing had been lying. She frowned and squatted to take a piece on the corpse. She smelled that the meat was burnt with a pleasant smell.
Yun Shang frowned and wondered whether Xia Houjing's flesh fell from the pot when he was burnt? Prince Jing pulled Yun Shang up, threw the black thing away, took out the brocade handkerchief in her sleeve and wiped her hand carefully. "Don't you see what's wrong with this? You should touch anything as long as you see something. What's wrong with it?"
".." Yun Shang was stunned. She looked at Prince Jing
and wondered, 'when I was at the border, he never cared about the dirty things. Why does he suddenly care about it now?'?
After Yun Shang was dragged out of the prison, Prince Jing also took her out of it. "Let's go back to Prince Jing's mansion. As for the matter, it is under Emperor's watch. The head of court of justice should also investigate it. Why are we in such a hurry?"
".." Yun Shang remained silent. She was anxious
