Zhao Yingjie looked at Yun Shang in a daze and thought for a long time before he nodded in panic. "Yes."
Yun Shang flashed a smile and nodded, "That's good. His highness looked a little cold, but he is actually softhearted man. You will find it if you get along with him more. General, please take good care of him."
Zhao Yingjie's mind was in a mess. After Yun Shang finished speaking, he just nodded immediately. He might not even hear clearly what Yun Shang had said.
The sound of something falling and smashing came from the inner room. The two of them were stunned. They quickly walked into the inner room and saw that the medicine bowl on the chair had been knocked to the ground by Lady Zhao and broke into pieces.
Hearing the footsteps, Lady Zhao raised her head and said lightly, "I broke it by accident. Yingjie, is it my medicine? Go and boil another bowl for me."
Zhao Yingjie replied and left in a hurry.
It was not until then that Lady Zhao turned to look at Yun Shang. She thought for a long time and said in a low voice, "You have known it, right?"
Her question was a little abrupt, but Yun Shang soon understood what she wanted to ask. She nodded slightly and said, "yes."
Lady Zhao smiled and said, "I know my stupid son's little tricks can't be hidden from you. Don't blame him. He is just worried about me. Since I have promised to go to Jin City with you, I will not break it."
Yun Shang also smiled and said, "I understand. But General Zhao also gave me a reminder. If someone wants to hurt Your Ladyship, there are too many ways. I have to pay more attention. There are several unoccupied rooms in the yard. I will move here tomorrow and live with Your Ladyship. So will the secret guards around me. Then it will be much safer here."
Lady Zhao just raised his eyelids slightly without saying anything.
Yun Shang stood up and said softly, "Your Ladyship, you must be tired today. Have a good rest. I'll take mu leave now." Then she stood up and turned around, intending to go out.
After taking a few steps, Yun Shang stopped by the window and said, "The jasmine is blooming very well."
While praising softly, Yun Shang quickly picked two jasmines from the branches, took some soil from the flowerpot and wrapped it in the brocade handkerchief in her hand before she left the inner room.
Yun Shang bid a goodbye to Zhao Yingjie who was decocting medicine in the kitchen. Then she and Qin Yi went out of the yard with a lamp and walked slowly towards the yard house they lived.
"General Zhao seems to be upright, but I didn't expect him to use such a scheme." Qin Yi said in a low voice.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "After all, he is a general who could command tens of thousands of soldiers. And this is not a scheme, but a strategy. But it's a pity that he met me, a hard-hearted princess.
Qin Yi glanced at Yun Shang and chucked. "Your Highness, you are not hard-hearted. You are so tender, but only to one person." Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, glared at Qin Yi, and snorted, "When do you have such a glib tongue? You even made fun of me. It seems that I should let Qian Yin and Qian Zhuo stay away from you. I remember that my Qin Yi the most steady one."
The two of them went back to the yard with laughter. Then Qin Yi served Yun Shang to sleep.
It has been a tiring night for Yun Shang. She fell asleep soon and didn't wake up until dust. When Yun Shang woke up, she heard a scream from outside.
She frowned and called out, "Qin Yi."
Qin Yi hurried in with a smile in her eyes. Yun Shang looked up at Qin Yi and asked softly, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Qin Yi chuckled and smiled, "Mr. Wang has come, so has Ning Qian."
Yun Shang finally came to her senses. No wonder she felt the laughter was so familiar. It turned out to be Wang Jinhuan.
Yun Shang asked Qin Yi to serve her up. Qin Yi went to the chest to take some clothes for her. When she was dressing Yun Shang, Ning Qian lifted the curtain and walked in. His beautiful face flushed, a bit of anger in her eyes.
Yun Shang seldom saw her like this. She couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong? Who made our beauty so angry?"
Ning Qian walked to a chair and sat down sulkily. Then she looked up at Yun Shang and snorted, "Master, you should've told me that madman is here. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have come."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled. She was wondering how Wang Jinhuan made Ning Qian so upset. Ning Qian had been training with her since childhood. She learned a lot and was very calm and indifferent. Even though they had known each other for such a long time, they had never seen her so lively. She thought that maybe it was a good thing.
But seeing that Ning Qian was so angry, Yun Shang didn't want to provoke her, so she changed the topic with a smile, "Why do you come all of a sudden? When I was in Cangnan City, I heard from His Highness that he had sent you to Huaiyin City. I've been in Huaiyin for such a long time, but you haven't come to me. I thought you might be busy with some task..."
