Hua Jing decided to go to Ning'guo Temple half a month later. Yun Shang asked Qin Yi and Qin Meng to pack for the trip. However, she only took Qin Yi with her.

Just as Hua Jing had promised, they traveled to Ning'guo Temple at a comfortable pace. They made several stops to eat and rest along the way. So much so that a half a day's journey took them the whole day. It was getting dark when they arrived at the Temple.

After they had settled down, the two Princesses were presented with their meal. Just as they had started eating, a young monk reported that someone was asking to see Princess Hua Jing for an urgent matter.

Hua Jing frowned and agreed to see that person. On seeing Hua Jing, the man addressed her with a bow, "Your Highness, The General's mother injured her leg when taking a walk in the garden this afternoon. Right now the Palace is in chaos. The steward asked me to bring you back to the Palace."

"What? My mother-in-law injured her leg?" Hua Jing waited for confirmation before rising from her chair. She quickly turned and apologized to Yun Shang. "Sister, I'm really sorry. I asked you to come here to pray for my husband, but I didn't expect that there would be an accident at the Palace. I have to rush back tonight. Why don't you rest at the Temple for a few days? I will tell the stableman to stay at the Temple, and you can return to the Imperial City when you are ready."

Yun Shang nodded and replied with a soft voice, "Don't worry, sister. I am familiar with this Temple and everything will be okay. It's important that you return to your mother-in-law and take care of her. Be careful on the way since it is dark."

Hua Jing expressed her gratitude and then rushed out.

After watching Hua Jing disappear into the shadows of the night, Yun Shang sat down with a smile and continued to eat.

"Your Highness, it is such a coincidence that Princess Hua Jing's mother-in-law had an accident. I feel that there is something wrong. Is it possible that Princess Hua Jing wants to do something bad to you at this Temple? Qin Yi said with worry, still staring outside.

Yun Shang kept eating. She spoke after she had wiped her hands with the handkerchief Qin Yi had handed to her. "She knows that I have stayed at the Temple for many years. It would not be wise for her to scheme something here. She is not that stupid. I think there might be assassins waiting for me on my way back to the Palace once I tell the coachman that I am ready to leave."

Surprised, Qin Yi frowned and said, "Ning Qian and other people are in the Imperial City right now. You only have me to accompany you. Wouldn't it be very dangerous if there is an ambush on the way? Your Highness, what if we split up and go separately? I will go first to distract the assassins."
