Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1431

Was she exposed?

This was the first thought that flashed through Luo Qingyan's mind.

However, this thought flashed through his mind, but was quickly denied by him.

Qian Zhuo had served Yun Shang for a long time and knew Yun Shang well. She shouldn't have been exposed easily.

And if she was exposed, nothing would happen to her.

Luo Qingyan frowned. He didn't know where Qian Yin was and what was going on. Was she found not to be Yun Shang?

If she was found not to be Yun Shang, then Yun Shang would be in danger.

"Send more secret guards to search for her with all their might."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luo Qingyan tapped on the table with his finger. The whereabouts of Xia Houjing was still unknown and Xia Houjing didn't come to the temporary imperial palace to look for him. Did he go to Qian Zhuo's place?

It was not impossible. Qian Zhuo pretended to be Yun Shang. Xia Houjing knew that Yun Shang knew medical skills, so he could guess that he was most likely poisoned by Yun Shang.

If that was the case, then everything made sense. The secret guards around Qian Zhuo, who was pretending to be Yun Shang, were arranged according to Yun Shang's usual practice of going out.

It was difficult for ordinary assassins to get close to her at all.

"How about the secret guards that protected her? Is there anyone still alive? What happened at that time?"

"At that time, the carriage was proceeding. The road was on the mountain, next to which was a cliff, and below was a river. When the carriage was proceeding, the whole ground below suddenly sank, and Miss Qian Zhuo fell down with her carriage.

As soon as the carriage fell, the secret guards immediately reacted. Half of them jumped down, and the other half hurried to find a way to go below.

However, the cliff was full of traps, and there were over a hundred opponents. The secret guards all died there, and only the signal was transmitted out."

Luo Qingyan knocked on the table and said, "So, she wasn't missing, but was taken away?"

"It should be. No one knows the specific situation." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips. The cliff was full of traps, and there were over a hundred opponents. This was not something that ordinary people could afford. It was most likely that Xia Houjing had done it.

If it was Xia Houjing, Qian Zhuo might very likely be recognized by him.

The top priority was to try every means to deceive Xia Houjing before he found out that Yun Shang had gone to the State of Yelang and found Yun Shang, so as to ensure the safety of Yun Shang.

Luo Qingyan looked down and saw Chengye staring at him. "Something happened to Qian Zhuo?"

Luo Qingyan nodded, "I have something important to deal with. You can go to the carriage in the back and go to the nanny's."

Chengye nodded and left the carriage obediently.

After Chengye left, Luo Qingyan said, "Go and invite the Empress here."

After a while, the the Empress got on the carriage. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Luo Qingyan. "Your Majesty."

"From now on, you'd better show some flaws in front of others and let others suspect your identity."

The Empress was stunned. "Show some flaws?" "Yes."

This request was really strange, but the Empress also lowered her eyes and answered, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Let's go. I'll see him."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered Mingzhu, who was standing on the other side, "The tea is cold. Clean it up."

Mingzhu quickly responded and got into the carriage.

It was already very cold. When Luo Qingyan entered the tent, a gust of cold wind blew. Chengye shook because of the coldness. When he raised his head and saw Luo Qingyan, his eyes lit up. "Father? Why are you here?"

Luo Qingyan smiled, "I heard that you have been working very hard recently. Let me have a look."

The smile on Chengye's face faded again. He looked around and waved the servant out of the tent. "Is the Empress not my mother?"

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask this?"

Chengye pressed his lips and said, "Although I'm not smart enough, I can recognize my own mother anyway."

Without waiting for Luo Qingyan's answer, Chengye continued, "I can recognize her. I'm sure father has noticed this as well. But judging from your expression, it's obvious that you don't want to make a sound. It proves that everything is in your plan. Maybe mother has something to do and needs to leave, so she specially asked someone to pretend to be her."

Chengye lowered his eyes and said, "But no matter what, it's too dangerous for mother to leave alone. I want to study hard and practice martial arts, so that I can help father and mother as soon as possible, and prevent her from taking risks by herself."

Luo Qingyan raised his hand and touched Chengye's head, "You should study hard and practice martial arts, but you shouldn't show how capable you are."

Chengye nodded and said, "I understand. I should learn to hide my strength and not show it. Mother once told me, so now even the people around me don't know how good my kung fu is. I have my reservations when I practice in front of them."

"Okay." Luo Qingyan smiled, "Your mother is right."

All of a sudden, there was a thunder outside. Luo Qingyan listened carefully and said, "A thunder in the late winter means a storm is coming."
