Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1481

Yun Shang nodded. It was normal. After all, the situation in the city was special now. There were not many real civilians, and most of them were high-ranking officials. Naturally, it was impossible for them to go to the military camp for a few taels of silver.

Moreover, if Luo Qingyan suddenly issued such an order, Xia Houjing would definitely feel that it was most likely a trap, and it was impossible for him to rashly send someone into the camp.

That was why the edict of Jin City didn't receive many responses.

"The edict of encouraging people to join the camp has just been issued. There are many onlookers. Since they have just started signing up, no one has really entered the camp to experience it. They don't know what it looks like in the camp, so there is no special news now."

"Okay." Yun Shang nodded gently, "Thank you. Keep an eye on the city."

The secret guard answered and left. Yun Shang tapped the armrest of the chair gently with her fingers, turned around and took a book from the bookshelf to read.

As soon as Yun Shang read the book, she was fascinated by it. The servants had urged Yun Shang to have a rest for several times. It was not until then that Yun Shang realized that it was already midnight.

"His Majesty hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet." Pei Lan replied in a low voice, "Do you want me to ask the servant of the Taiji Palace?"

Yun Shang thought for a while and finally shook her head. "There's no need to ask. The two laws have just been implemented in the city today. There must be a lot of things that need His Majesty to deal with."

Yun Shang frowned again, "But it's still late..."

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to wash myself and brush my teeth. When I'm ready to go to bed and have a rest, it should be half an hour later. At that time, you can call someone to have a look. Ask Liu Wenan to remind His Majesty. Liu Wenan is a smart man and he knows what to do."

Pei Lan replied and followed Yun Shang into the bathroom.

When Yun Shang took a rest, Luo Qingyan really hadn't come back yet. Pei Lan sent a eunuch over, and Yun Shang finally rested.

She had planned to sleep after Luo Qingyan came back, but she fell asleep soon.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn outside.

Yun Shang frowned and touched the side of her body. There was no one beside her, and even the bed sheet and quilt were cold.

Yun Shang called a servant in, "His Majesty didn't come back last night?"

Hua'er blinked her eyes and said, "He came back. He came back about half an hour after you started to rest. But you were asleep at that time.

His Majesty was afraid of waking you up, so he rested on the bench outside. He went to the morning court meeting this morning."

Yun Shang couldn't help but mumble, "It's so cold now. Why did he sleep on the bench? What if he catches a cold?"

Although she said so, she didn't mind it at all. Anyway, if Luo Qingyan came back half an hour later after she rested, he should have slept for about three hours.

After Yun Shang washed up and had breakfast, a message came from outside the palace, "It's the news that Qian Yin sent in. She said that she had solved one hundred and three people yesterday according to your order."

Yun Shang nodded. Although the one hundred and three people were not many for the enemies who replaced ordinary civilians in the city, they were enough to let Xia Houjing know that his plan had been exposed.

"For the one hundred and three enemies who have been killed, our secret spies have secretly arranged some beggars who are relatively familiar with them in the city to replace them."

Not long after she met Cao Han, there was a serious illness in the Cao Mansion that could not be cured by the doctor inside the mansion...

It was most likely that the poison she put on Cao Han had worked.

If Xia Houjing was poisoned, the doctor of the Cao Mansion had no choice but to call the old imperial physician over. It meant that the old imperial physician was most likely from their sect.

Yun Shang lowered her eyes to hide the light in her eyes. "Okay, I see."

After the secret guard left, Yun Shang immediately turned around and ordered the servants in the palace, "Have a look. See if the morning court is over. Has Cao Han left the palace? If not, ask him to wait for me at the door of the Meeting Hall."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the morning court was over and Cao Han was still in the palace, Yun Shang went to the Meeting Hall as soon as she got the news.

As expected, Cao Han was waiting outside the Meeting Hall, as if he had something to talk to the emperor about.

Yun Shang walked over, and Cao Han bowed to Yun Shang, "Your Highness."

Yun Shang smiled and looked at Cao Han. "I think you should know that I have put someone in the Cao Mansion."

"Yes, Your Highness." Cao Han replied in a low voice, as respectful as before.

"I heard that the mansion sent for an old imperial physician last night. I'm not going to beat around the bush. Did the old imperial physician go to treat Xia Houjing? Is Xia Houjing poisoned?"
