Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 760

However, Ning Qian didn't hear the answer from Xia Huanyu. She only felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck and lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, She was laying on the bed in Xiangzhu Palace. It seemed to be very late in the afternoon, and the light outside the window was a little dim.

"Qian Xin." Ning Qian's heart sank. She called loudly while thinking, 'Why didn't Xia Huanyu kill me to keep my mouth shut? He could just say that I died of a miscarriage and no one would doubt it.'

As footsteps faintly came from the door of the hall, Ning Qian frowned and became alert. It was not Qian Xin, but a kung fu master.

The door curtain was opened, and a maid came in. She stood respectfully in front of the bed and said, "Your Highness, Qian Xin has been transferred to another palace. Your Highness just lost your baby and are not in good health. His Majesty sent me to take care of you. My name is Qing Dai."

Ning Qian looked carefully at the maid standing beside the bed. After a long silence, she said softly,", Qing Dai, the name sounds good."

Qing Dai's face was cold and unmoved. She just lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."

Ning Qian withdrew her gaze calmly, "Has His Majesty said how long I need to rest?"

Qing Dai's voice came, "His Majesty didn't order that. But Your Highness definitely have to recuperate for a long time after a miscarriage, otherwise you might suffer from lingering effect. Your Highness at least need a routine confinement for recovery.

A routine confinement? Ning Qian curled up her lips and thought that it would be one and half months.

She fainted in Weiyang Palace. And when she woke up, she had clearly heard Xia Huanyu questioning the Empress. It seemed the empress would have a hard time.

Did Xia Huanyu use her as a tool to trick the Empress?

Ning Qian slowly raised the corners of her mouth. Her purpose and the order of the eldest princess were exactly the same, which saved her a lot of trouble. She finally understood why Xia Huanyu had spared no effort to promote her to a high position and even gave her the seal. The higher her position was and the more favored she was, and the more dangerous the Empress would be.

Then the Su clan behind the Empress would be involved. His Majesty is really ambitious.

And Ning Qian heard that all the evidences show that the Empress was the most likely suspect of the stone tablet case. So the Empress had been involved in framing Lady Shu and Prince Qi, and murdering her and her unborn child. She would be doomed this time.

Qing Dai looked at Ning Qian and frowned. She didn't know why this beautiful woman was still so happy at this time. She didn't seem to be afraid at all.

"I'm a little hungry. Go and get some food." Ning Qian turned to look at Qing Dai. She thought for a while and added, "I am not in good condition after the miscarriage. I want some red bean soup and steam fish. It's better to be light-favored." Qing Dai glanced at Ning Qian with a frown and warned, "I have to remind Your Highness that Xiangzhu Palace has already been besieged. You'd better not think too much."

"What?" Ning Qian was confused, "I know what's going on with me, so I don't need you to remind me, Qing Dai."

Qing Dai's face darkened at her words. She gave Ning Qian a quick glance and left.

Ning Qian lifted the quilt and stood up. She still didn't understand why Xia Huanyu didn't kill her directly, but trapped her in Xiangzhu Palace.

Everything went as usual in the hall, but the window was tightly closed. Ning Qian walked to the window and pushed it, only to find that the window couldn't be pushed open at all. With a thought, she went back to the couch and sat down.

After finishing the dinner as usual and washing her face, Ning Qian lay down on the bed early to have a rest. Seeing that Qing Dai was still standing in the hall, Ning Qian frowned and said, "I don't like any maid the hall when I'm sleeping. Just as you said, it's difficult for me to run away from the heavily guarded Xiangzhu Palace. Besides, I'm just an ordinary woman who doesn't know kung fu. There is nothing for you to worry about."

Qing Dai glanced at Ning Qian and left the inner hall. Ning Qian sighed slightly, stood up and turned off the lamp in the hall. Then she lay back on the bed.

There was silence in the hall. Ning Qian closed her eyes and felt that there were at least thirty people around the bedroom.

Why did Xia Huanyu do that?

Ning Qian frowned. Perhaps it was because she had slept for too long in the daytime, she was not sleepy at all.

After thinking carefully about what had happened recently, Ning Qian had some guesses. Was it for the eldest princess?

She was recommended to the Palace by the eldest princess. Did Xia Huanyu think that the eldest princess would definitely contact her, so he set the gigantic net to wait for her.

Qing Dai said that she need at least a routine confinement for recovering from miscarriage. Had Xia Huanyu done something? Otherwise why he was so confident that he could catch the eldest princess within a month and a half?

It was getting dark, but no guard around her palace had left.

Ning Qian was also a little tired. She turned over and wanted to close her eyes to rest, but her arm was suddenly being grabbed by a hand. Ning Qian became alert and quickly grabbed the hand, then she saw a figure get out from under the bed.

The night was deep and the hall was dark. Ning Qian could only vaguely see the person's outline. It seemed to be a woman. Ning Qian's heart skipped a beat. Who was she? Why was she under her bed? And just now, she didn't feel any breath under the bed at all.

Ning Qian continued, "His Majesty just ordered me to rest in my palace, but he didn't say that I had no right to ask about the culprit of my miscarriage?"

Qing Dai sneered and said indifferently, "Traces of musk oil was found the incense in Weiyang Palace. His majesty was so furious that he had ordered the Neishi Bureau to interrogate all the servants in Weiyang Palace."

Musk.

Ning Qian slowly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. It was really an old trick, but it was very effective.

Moreover, the smell of musk oil was not as strong as that of the musk. The musk oil had a light smell which was extremely difficult to find it, but its effect was also excellent.

But she didn't know how the Empress would react if she knew that it was a trap set by Xia Huanyu.

Thinking of this, Ning Qian smiled again. The imperial household was more dirty and complicated than anywhere else. After Qing Dai went out with the hamper, Ning Qian walked to the bedside, wrote a note and threw it under the bed.

Then she turned off the light and went back to bed. A soft voice came from under the bed, "I can't contact Lady Rui for the time being, but I have a way to contact Prince Rui's men."

Ning Qian thought for a while and replied softly.

It was the same if she could get in touch with Prince Rui as master was most likely in the same place with him.

Ning Qian thought that there were a lot of secret guards in her palace. Although they didn't know what had happened today, they would definitely send the news out.

After lying on the bed for a while, Ning Qian fell asleep.

On the second morning, Ning Qian got up early. She didn't need to make up as no one was allowed to visit her. So she just put on an outer robe and sat in the inner hall reading. Qing Dai had been standing beside her, pouring sweet tea for her from time to time, which made her look like a dutiful maid.

Ning Qian sat still the whole morning. When the curtain was being lifted up, Ning Qian looked up and saw a maid in the same dress as Qing Dai coming in. "Sister Qing Dai, His Majesty asked you to Taiji Palace."

Qing Dai said yes and asked the maid to keep an eye on Lady Xiang. Then she went out.

Ning Qian frowned and listened to the footsteps of the woman who just came in. She knew that the woman was not good at Kung Fu. The corners of Ning Qian's mouth slightly curled up. It seemed that her chance had come.
