Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 518

Yun Shang only heard a "yes" before she was carried on somebody's shoulder. As her head was upside down, Yun Shang simply opened her eyes and counted her steps.

About half an hour later, a loud bang was heard again. As if a stone door was opened, a ray of light suddenly shot in. Yun Shang closed her eyes in a hurry, but her hands began to shake some powder on the ground

slightly.

"Is she coming? Master is waiting in the study." A voice came. The man who carried Yun Shang answered in a low voice, "I'll take her there at once."

Along the way, some white powder dripped from Yun Shang's sleeve, but no one noticed. Yun Shang tried to tell the direction in her heart, and after a while, she heard the man in black who was carrying her. "Master, she is here."

The door creaked open. Yun Shang was carried in and placed on a couch.

"Master, do you want me to wake her up?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Yes." The voice was weak. But Yun Shang knew who the person was.

A pungent smell suddenly came under her nose. Yun Shang frowned and opened her eyes slowly with a whine. Her eyes seemed to be hurt by a sudden light. She raised her hand to cover her eyes and asked with confusion, "where is this place?" "Lady Rui, you are wearing a mask, but you still have to change your voice and speak. Aren't you tired?" The soft voice came. Yun Shang frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a screen and a figure coming out of it.

"Who are you?" Yun Shang frowned and asked.

A light smile came from behind the screen. "Lady Rui has fooled all of us completely. If it weren't for your eyes and the fragrance of plum blossoms on your body, I would have thought that something really happened to lady rui."

Yun Shang raised her hand to rub her forehead. She smiled, "there are too many people in the city who want to kill me, so I have to wear a mask to make a living. But even so, I am still tied here by you? Tell me, what do you want to do to me? "

"What am I doing? Lady Rui, don't you know that many people are targeting you for your beauty? Most of them want to use you as a hostage to lure the Prince Rui into a trap and kill him. " The man behind the screen raised his hand and put it to his mouth. Yun Shang heard him coughing.

"Really? You mean, you are the latter? " Yun Shang said casually, "but if you want to lure Prince Rui to save me, what you did is inappropriate. You eliminated all my tracks. How can Prince Rui find me?"

"Found you?" But the person behind the screen burst into laughter, after a long while, he stopped laughing. "Why do I let him to find you? Lady Rui is not the only one in the world who can change her looks."

Yun Shang was stunned at the man's words. She looked at the screen embroidered with bamboo bamboos and said coldly, "you had someone disguise as me in the Imperial Guard camp's prison?" Hearing Yun Shang's words, the person inside the room laughed more happily. "I want to kill Prince Rui, but I'd like to keep you alive. After all, only a few people are both beautiful and smart in the world."

Yun Shang's hand trembled slightly in the sleeve, and she bent a little. After a while, she said, "how dare you!"

"Ha ha ha, why not?" The man smiled insolently, but Yun Shang narrowed her eyes with coldness.

Then, Yun Shang was taken to a room, locked in which everything was collected and taken away. Staying in the empty room, Yun Shang didn't look panic. The room was empty, and there was no time for her to kill. Since the door and windows were not closed, she could only see a small yard, which was worth nothing.Enjoying the view, Yun Shang chose to lie down on the bench for a rest.

As it was getting dark, Yun Shang was woken up by a woman in her thirties. Seeing Yun Shang staring at her, she smiled and said, "my name is San Niang, and the master sent me to serve you. It's time for dinner."

Yun Shang yawned, stood up, went to the table and sat down. San Niang took out several dishes from her lunch box, and said gently, "these are all ordinary dishes. Do you like them?"

Just as San Niang said, the dishes on the table were almost the most common ones in the meals of the state of Xia. They were arranged like this on purpose, probably because they were afraid that Yun Shang might find something.

"Fireflies?" San Niang also turned her head and looked out of the window. She saw many fireflies gathered in the yard. When she turned her head, she saw Yun Shang standing up too. She stood beside San Niang and smiled: "how beautiful it is! There are only crickets and cicada singing in summer in the state of Ning, but rarely seen such a swarm of fireflies. I was so excited when I was young and asked people to catch them specially. You can use the veil to cover the fireflies later when you go back home, using them as a lantern."

San Niang frowned and felt something odd: "I saw fireflies gather in the suburbs of the state of Xia, but here in the Jin City..." She suddenly felt nervous and said to the maid: "serve the girl here. I'll be back soon."

Yun Shang smiled and said in a soft voice while watching San Niang go out, "it's said that the fireflies here are brighter than lanterns. I wonder if it's true."

The maid fell her eyes on Yun Shang and didn't understand what she was talking about until a long while later. She hurriedly said, "it's true. I can even see the leaves over there.

"Really?" Yun Shang squinted her eyes and heard faintly the sound of fighting and the secret guards conning from outside. She curved the corners of her mouth and said, "finally, you're here."

While she was thinking, she saw a man with a mask on his face in purple rushing in, followed by San Niang, who had just left. Yun Shang frowned and thought they came really quick.

The masked man walked in and looked at Yun Shang. He said coldly, "I forgot that you are lady Rui. You schemed to set up Liu Yinfeng and made him suffer a lot. I didn't expect that you could be so scheming to lure your men here. But unfortunately, I noticed it before they came." The masked man said in a weak voice. He was the one who talked to Yun Shang through the screen in the afternoon.

Yun Shang smiled, "yes. I thought you had left. I didn't expect..."

Before she finished her words, the man gave an order, "servants, take Lady Rui to the dark room and help her bathing. Make sure to wash her carefully from head to toe. Change her into the clothes we have prepared, and then take her there."
