An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1408 What Can I Do For You

"I have prepared three paths in total, just in case. I've kept all the information about the towns and cities

around the three paths in my mind, including the information about the officials and the wealthy

merchants. I have recorded all the spies where I have to go through.

In case of any change during the journey, I have chosen an absolutely reliable spy in every place and

told them the time when I may possibly pass through that place. Whether I will pass by that definite

place or not, they should deliver the news to your majesty after the time I have set. In this way, no

matter what happens, your majesty will be able to know my situation and my whereabouts.

I've also arranged well in the imperial capital city of the State of Yelang. I have specially arranged six or

seven spies in different places there, and they do not know one another. I will choose one of the places

to settle down according to the situation then.

I have prepared all the medicinal materials and things I need in advance. There is a set of them in each

place along the way. The herbs are ordinary ones and haven't been refined into poison. I have to refine

them after I get there.

Almost all my belongings have been specially handled. There are all kinds of self-defense items. In

addition to those being with on the way, I will also apply a layer of poisonous nail polish on my nails in

case of any emergency," reported Yun Shang.

While hearing these, Luo Qingyan lowered his head but said nothing.

He found she was really well prepared. She had thought of everything, including what he didn't expect.

After finishing reporting, Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan and asked, "Do you think I still have

anything else to prepare?"

Luo Qingyan shook his head, "You've arranged it very carefully."

"Of course." A hint of complacency flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, "I have promised you that I will This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

try my best to make sure that I will come back safe and sound this time."

"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded, "And not a hair can be lost from you."

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "That's impossible. Everyone has to lose some hair. That is a natural

rule, and I can't control it."

"Okay, then you are allowed to lose a few pieces of hair and nothing more than that."

Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and then he sat up a little straight, "There are three or four spies

that I have planted in the court of the State of Yelang. Come close to me and I'll tell you their names

and general information. Maybe they will be helpful when you are there. "

Yun Shang wanted to say no. She was clear that Luo Qingyan must have put a lot of effort into the

court of the State of Yelang. If they were not careful enough then, they would be exposed.

But she also knew that if she didn't obey him and noted them down, Luo Qingyan wouldn't rest

assured.

Thus she nodded with a smile and went up to him.

She would keep these officials in mind whether she could use them or not. And she knew that she

could not care whether things would be exposed or not in time of urgency.

Luo Qingyan whispered in Yun Shang's ear for a while in a voice that only both of them could hear.

"Do you remember them now?" asked Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes. I've kept them in mind. You can test me now.

You see I have a good memory," replied Yun Shang with a smile in her eyes, "I've heard about one of

the four people you mentioned. He has a high reputation in the court of the State of Yelang. I couldn't

imagine that he could be your people?"

"As the saying goes, wise birds choose good places to perch and capable men choose the right leader

to serve. It's just because he is smart that he owns today's status and knows who will be the real ruler

in the world in the future. "

Although he was praising the official of the State of Yelang, there was a sense of complacency between

the lines. Obviously, he was boasting.

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She then nodded, "Yes, the world will eventually belong to your

majesty. That official is indeed smart and knows the result in advance, so he has found the best way for

himself. "

Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang and knew she was making fun of him. He tutted, stood up and then

said, "I'll go and have a look whether the other officials that follow us have got ready."

Yun Shang nodded and waited until Luo Qingyan left. Then she stood up and said, "I'm going out for a

walk too. I haven't been to this temporary imperial palace before. On the way here, I found the scenery

here is very good."

The maid responded and followed Yun Shang.

The temporary imperial palace was in the south, and the scenery was completely different from that of

the Imperial Palace in Jin City. It was less magnificent, but more graceful and restrained. Water could

be seen everywhere in the temporary imperial palace. There were lakes, streams and deep pools. In

the streams were several waterwheels.

As soon as Yun Shang approached, she heard Chengye's laughter.

"His highness the Crown Prince is playing water over there," someone reported.

Yun Shang nodded and walked over there, only to see Chengye standing in the stream and fiddling

with a waterwheel.

"Mother! Mother! Come on, it's fun! "

Chengye was very excited seeing Yun Shang. Children at this age were most fond of playing. Seeing

that, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, but she was a little worried, too, "It's late autumn. The water is

cold. Don't play too long. Be careful and try not to get sick."

"All right," replied Chengye obediently, "I'll be back soon. The servants have prepared hot water. I'll go

back to take a hot bath after playing."

Yun Shang nodded. She looked around for a while before she went to other places.

Yun Shang was not familiar with the temporary imperial palace. Thus she soon didn't know where she

was and she met Cao Han there.

Yun Shang couldn't help squinting. What a coincidence?

But was it really a coincidence? Or just... Someone revealed her whereabouts to him?

However, she was just wandering around as she liked. She herself had no goal, so no one should know

that she was passing here, right?

While Yun Shang was thinking of all these, Cao Han caught sight of her.

He bowed and greeted, "Greetings, your majesty!"

Yun Shang replied casually, "Why is Master Cao here?"

Cao Han smiled and replied, "I've been waiting here specially. I thought that your majesty would come

out for a walk, but I didn't know where your majesty would go. According to the people in the temporary

imperial palace, this is a rare scenery here. I feel that if you come out for a trip, you should pass by

here."

"Oh?" Yun Shang was surprised. She looked around and asked, "Is this place famous? What's the

view? "

Cao Han pointed at the rockery by the side and answered, "The servants in the temporary imperial

palace said that from that rockery Pavilion, one can take a panoramic view of the whole temporary

imperial palace."

After a pause, she asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go up there and have a look?"

Yun Shang glanced at him and said, "You come to see me. You must have something to tell me. Let's

go."

As Yun Shang spoke, she walked towards the rockery, climbed on it and entered the pavilion.

She knew Cao Han must have inquired about it. And just as he said, from the pavilion one was able to

see the scenery of every place in the temporary imperial palace, every yard was beautiful, and the

servants were seen walking around there...

Yun Shang squinted, "Well, tell me. What can I do for you?"
