Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 781

It was not too far from KY City to Cangnan City, only three cities between them, Jingyang City, Lingnan City and Lingxi City. It would take three or four days to arrive in Cangnan City.

However, the situation in Lingxi City was tense now, so Yun Shang decided to bypass it and go through Huaiyin City. In this way, it would be safer though it would take them two more days.

Because of Lady Zhao, Yun Shang had almost transferred all the secret guards she could mobilize to her side, and everything went smoothly along the way.

An hour after they went out of Huaiyin City, their carriage entered a dense forest. Yun Shang heard the faint sound of horse hooves. She quickly opened her eyes, took a glance at Lady Zhao, who had also opened her eyes, and lifted the curtain to exchange a look with the attendants outside the carriage.

The attendant waved his hand to the back, and a secret guard went to explore the way first.

The sound were getting closer. Yun Shang frowned and ordered everyone to be on guard.

The secret guard suddenly returned to the carriage and said with a bit of delight, "Your Highness, it's His Highness."

Yun Shang was slightly stunned, and a faint smile flashed across her eyes. She hadn't sent a letter to Luo Qingyan these days as she was in a rush to get here. Why did Luo Qingyan know her whereabouts? Just by a guess? Seeing Lady Zhao frowning slightly, Yun Shang was stunned again. She thought that since Lady Zhao just knew that Qingyan was her child, she might've not fully accepted it. Now that Qingyan has come, she might still have some misgivings.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "The first time I saw you in the State of Ning is in the Princess Palace. I remember you told me that among all the young people in the State of Ning, you admire Prince Jing the most."

Lady Zhao turned to look at Yun Shang. She didn't know why Yun Shang brought it up all of a sudden.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Now Your Ladyship could tell yourself that the invincible God of war is your son..."

Hearing this, Lady Zhao smiled. "Well, I did make a profitable business."

The thunder of horse hooves were getting closer and closer. Yun Shang ordered to stop and then she got off the carriage. From a distance, she saw a group of people coming over. The first one was Luo Qingyan, whom she had been missing so much.

At the same time, Luo Qingyan also saw Yun Shang. He rode quickly to her and stopped in front of her. He looked at Yun Shang with a gentle look. After a long time, he frowned and asked, "Why has your belly become much bigger?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan and snorted coldly, "It's all your fault!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan raised the corners of his mouth. His smile was like a snow lotus flower that suddenly broke the ice, which stunned Yun Shang. Luo Qingyan got off the horse, held Yun Shang's waist and said softly, "Well, it's all my fault."

Yun Shang stepped on Luo Qingyan's foot, lowered her head and whispered, "Lady Zhao is in the carriage."

Luo Qingyan's body froze for a moment, and he quickly came to his senses. He said, "Well, the news of your disappearance is no longer a secret. After you enter Cangnan City, you will live with me in Chengshou Mansion. But..."

Luo Qingyan looked up at the door of the carriage and said loudly, "But I'm afraid Her Ladyship will have to endure some hardship."

There was a moment of silence in the carriage before Lady Zhao said calmly, "It doesn't matter. As long as there is a bed to sleep, it's enough."

Yun Shang pinched Luo Qingyan's waist. When Luo Qingyan looked at her, Yun Shang opened her mouth and said in silence, "Why do you also call her Her Ladyship?"

Luo Qingyan didn't answer. He raised his hand and patted Yun Shang's head, smiling, "Go back in the carriage. It won't be long."

Yun Shang nodded gently and turned around to get on the carriage. At the moment, she suddenly remembered that Luo Qingyan had always called Xia Huanyu His Majesty since he went to the State of Xia, and he had never called him father.

A flicker of thought flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, and then she quickly hid her emotions and got into the carriage.

Lady Zhao glanced at Yun Shang indifferently and then looked at Yun Shang's belly. She thought for a while and said, "During the fifth month after I got pregnant, my belly was much bigger than yours."

Yun Shang was surprised and then realized that Lady Zhao must have heard the words of they two. Her face flushed. Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled, touching her belly gently. Recently, she occasionally felt the baby in her belly rolling, but it was not frequent. It should be a quiet baby.

"Prince Jing..." Although the door of the carriage had been closed, Lady Zhao still looked at the door, with a bit of thought in her eyes. She said softly, "When he looked at you, he looked completely different from usual."

Yun Shang was stunned and stared at Luo Qingyan. What did he say just now? Did he say that he had been missing and worrying about her? Yun Shang blinked her eyes and smiled bright. This was probably the most straightforward love words Luo Qingyan had ever said in his life.

Luo Qingyan just took off his shoes, held Yun Shang in his arms and lay beside her.

Looking at his chin covered with stubble, Yun Shang thought, 'Although Luo Qingyan hadn't been on the front line, he must've also had a hard time these days. Yun Shang felt a twinge in her heart. She smiled and said softly, "I feel sleepy as soon as I lie down. Why don't you sleep with me for a while, uncle?"

Luo Qingyan patted her on the head and said, "Don't call me uncle."

"Okay, uncle. Let's sleep." Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, burying her head in Luo Qingyan's arms.

Luo Qingyan patted Yun Shang's back gently, "Don't sleep. Chat with me for a while."

Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan and nodded slightly. She smiled, "Okay, what do you want to talk?" By the way, Qingyan, why did you settle Lady Zhao and Zhao Yingjie in the village?"

Luo Qingyan said in a low voice, "I'm afraid as soon as you enter the mansion, the news that you are in Cangnan City will soon be spread out. At that time, we two will definitely be watched by lots of people. If they are by our side, they will be easily exposed."

"Oh..." Yun Shang nodded slightly to show her understanding. After a long silence, she continued, "Lady Zhao... Oh, it's Empress Hua. Qingyan, Do you have any plan? Should we take her back to Jin City? Or should we hide her so that Xia Huanyu would never find her? If we take her back to Jin City, she will be in great danger. We have trouble even in taking care of ourselves. I'm afraid something will happen to her. But if we hide her, His Majesty will definitely look into it."

After saying that, Yun Shang didn't hear any reply for a long time. She pulled Luo Qingyan's sleeve, but Luo Qingyan still didn't say anything. Yun Shang was surprised. She looked up and saw Luo Qingyan closing his eyes and breathing steadily as if he was asleep.

The corners of Yun Shang's mouth curled up slightly. He had just asked her not to sleep and to talk with him. How could he fall asleep first...
