Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 732

"Sister-in-law?" Yun Shang was shocked. "Your brother hasn't given up on Ning Qian yet? Ning Qian has been Lady Xiang of the State of Xia, and she has been pregnant. The baby in her belly is a prince and princess of the State of Xia."

Wang Jinyan lowered her head and drew circles on the ground unconsciously with her feet. She murmured, "I have persuaded my brother, but he said that he will marry her no matter what. I've tried my best to persuade him, but he's still like this. I have no choice..."

Yun Shang frowned and sighed. After a long time, she said, "I know. You can go back first. Be more careful in the Palace. Try your best to avoid being seen by His Majesty and Her Majesty. If someone noticed something, just ask Ning Qian for help."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Wang Jinyan knew that Yun Shang had forgiven her, so she was happy and said with a smile, "Okay. It's so boring in the Palace. Now that you're here, I'll have your companion." Then she ran away with a smile.

Seeing her run out, Yun Shang smiled helplessly and sighed, "Why are you still so reckless?" After a pause, she remembered that the excuse she asked her to come here was to take osmanthus cake, but she didn't take anything. What should she explain if someone asked her?

Although Wang Jinyan was straightforward, she was not stupid and was able to deal with it. Thinking of this, Yun Shang picked up the files and unfolded it.

It turned out that Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu were twins. They were both born on the leap April 31st in the 7th year of Mingqi. They were born in Xinghua village next to the Jin City. In the 21 st year of Mingqi, his father was addicted to gambling and lost all his money. He had no choice but to sell his two children to the Palace. The two of them used to be eunuchs in the Empress Dowager's palace. After the Empress Dowager died, Xia Huanyu transferred the two of them to the Taiji Palace to do some chores.

Qin Yi also looked at the files behind Yun Shang and murmured, "It seems there's nothing wrong. If they used to serve the Empress Dowager and then transferred to the Taiji Palace, they should be reliable."

After a long silence, [5 S- ] asked, "is it the emperor's year?"

Qin Yi nodded her head and didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. "Your Highness has been in the State of Xia for such a long time, but you don't even know the present reign tile of the state. If others know, those madams in the Palace will definitely say that you are impolite."

Paying no attention to Qin Yi's words, Yun Shang calculated in her mind and said indifferently, "The 7th year of Mingqi should be twenty-two years ago. If I'm not wrong, there was only thirty days in the leap April of that year, so April 31 st didn't exist."

Qin Yi was stunned. Seeing Yun Shang's determined look, Qin Yi asked, "Your Highness, do you mean that there is some mistake in the files?"

"It's not a mistake. The files are fake." Yun Shang smiled coldly. "Generally speaking, since Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu entered the Palace in the 21th year of Mingqi, the first part of the information in the files should've be recorded in that year. And the record about Xiangwen and Xiangfu being transferred to Taiji Palace after the Empress Dowager passed away should've been written in last year." Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the files. "The ink marks on the kraft paper seems age old, but this kind of ink actually hasn't been produced until the beginning of this year. I guess this document was probably written last night or this morning. As for the seemingly old paper and ink, it should have been sprayed water on it and roasted on the fire before it was put on. It was deliberately made like this."

Yun Shang looked indifferent but confident. Qin Yi kept silent for a while and asked, "Who did this?"

"Who did this?" Yun Shang sneered and turned to Qin Yi, "Go find some of our spies and ask them where have Cai Yi and Qi Ruihai gone after they left Zhaoxia Palace?"

"Your Highness, you suspect that Cai Yi and..." Qin Yi nodded, turned around and left.

Yun Shang looked at the kraft paper indifferently for a long time, but the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. It seemed that everything was not too optimistic, but at least she got news about Luo Qingyan, and she was relieved.

While she was thinking, Qian Zhuo came in with a tray on which a brocade handkerchief was placed.

Yun Shang looked at Qian Zhuo with confusion. Qian Zhuo looked nervous and said, "Your Highness, the Empress ordered someone to send it here."

The Empress? Yun Shang frowned. Why did the Empress send her a brocade handkerchief? When Yun Shang unfolded the handkerchief, her face suddenly changed.

It was a plain colored handkerchief with orchids embroidered on the lower right corner, which was very elegant. There were two words embroidered under the orchids, Shu Jin. Yun Shang suddenly crumpled the brocade handkerchief into a ball and put it into her sleeve. She stood up and said to Qian Zhuo, "Go to Weiyang Palace with me. Qin Yi has something to deal with."

Too many things had happened in the past two days, and Yun Shang had forgotten that the Empress had given her mother's hairpin to her that day. She was afraid that the Empress couldn't wait any longer, and she had sent her the handkerchief with the name of her mother.

Qian Yin didn't know what was going on, but she followed Yun Shang and rushed to Weiyang Palace.

Yun Shang didn't know why the Empress told her this, but listened quietly.

After a long time, the Empress withdrew her gaze and turned to Yun Shang with a smile. "I heard that Lady Rui was raised by the Empress of the State of Ning because your mother had been living in the Cold palace when you were young. Is that true?" Yun Shang pushed the strings of the Guqin hard and smiled, "What Your Majesty said is true. When I was young, I thought it was annoying to have a biological mother in the Cold Palace My mother should be the noble Empress. At that time, I was young and ignorant. If anyone mentioned my background, I would definitely teach her a lesson."

"Really? So you are not close to your biological mother? I heard that later the Emperor of the State of Ning has taken your mother out of the Cold Palace, and now she has been promoted as a noble consort. Besides, she has given birth to a prince who is the only prince in the State of Ning." The Empress kept staring at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang didn't know what the Empress wanted to do, so she raised her head and smiled calmly. "It might be offensive, but just imagine if Your Majesty were abandoned by your biological mother and couldn't see her for 15 years, What would Your Majesty do?

Hearing this, the Empress smiled quietly, with a bit of indifference in her eyes, but did not answer.

Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Sorry, I was being impolite."

Then she continued, "It is an undeniable fact that she is my mother. I respect her, but I don't have an affinity with her. After all, the loss in fifteen years is an irreparable regret in my life."

The Empress smiled quietly. "You are really a straightforward woman."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Yun Shang didn't bother to beat around the bush with the Empress anymore, so she said, "That's why I haven't recognized her hairpin and handkerchief until my maid, who used to be my mother's close maid, told me. Why did Your Majesty give these two things to me?" Yun Shang plucked the strings for a while and the music was melodious. When her eyes fell on the strings, she noticed some blood stains. She got a cut on her finger probably because she hadn't played for a long time. Yun Shang lightly wiped the blood off the strings.
