Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 890

Since Xia Huanyu didn't allow anyone to spread the news, Luo Qingyan didn't even have the chance to interfere. If he did, Xia Huanyu would know that they had planted people in the Palace and would be on guard against Luo Qingyan. Born in the royal family, she knew how ruthless the royal family was. When she was in the State of Ning, her father had also been suspicious of her.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Her Majesty will be fine. If someone wants to hurt her, he would've killed her directly instead of taking her away. Since the one took her away, he must have some plan." Yun Shang comforted him softly, "I'll ask the secret guards to investigate it carefully."

Luo Qingyan stood up and said, "No need. We don't need to send people to investigate. His Majesty will do that. It will be trick if His Majesty people met ours."

"I have many affairs about the imperial examination to deal with. I'll go to the study first." Luo Qingyan said and walked out of the room.

Yun Shang stared at Luo Qingyan's back, sighed and said nothing.

Perhaps because of the telepathy between father and son, Bao'er in her arms suddenly pouted and cried loudly.

Yun Shang hurriedly comforted him softly, "Little naughty boy, why are you crying now? Don't cry. Your grandma will be fine."

But Bao'er kept crying. He cried for a long time before he got tired and fell asleep in Yun Shang's arms. Yun Shang put Bao'er in his crib and looked at the map of the State of Xia on the desk. She frowned and sighed, "What a lot of troubles we seem to have!"

Luo Qingyan still didn't come back until the sleep time. Yun Shang was a little worried, so she asked Qin Yi to keep an eye on Bao'er and went out for the study.

It was a little cold in the autumn night, and it was a little quiet without the chirping of frogs and cicadas in summer. Yun Shang adjusted her cloak and walked along the corridor to the study. The light in the study was on. She could see Luo Qingyan's shadow reflected on the closed window. He was sitting a chair with a book in his hand, which looked a little lonely.

She knew that Luo Qingyan was a kung fu master. If she got close, she would be found. So she just stood far away and looked at the shadow on the window. For a long time, Luo Qingyan's did not turn a page. Yun Shang let out a light sigh, turned around and walked back to the South Yard.

Qin Yi had just added a small quilt for Bao'er. When she saw Yun Shang come back alone, a look of surprise flashed through her eyes, but she didn't ask more. She just said softly, "Are Your Highness going to rest?"

Yun Shang rubbed her forehead and said softly, "yes."

"The hot water is ready. Let me undress for you." As saying, Qin Yi took two steps forward, untied Yun Shang's cloak and put it aside.

Yun Shang frowned slightly and kept thinking, now that Su Ruji had been killed and Lady Shu had been dealt with. Who took away Empress Hua? Could it be Xia Houjing?

However, Xia Houjing was around Liucang City now. If Xia Houjing really swindled the relief materials from the national treasury as they thought and wanted to rebel, he must have transferred his forces to Liucang City. Even he still had some people left in the Jin City, it was impossible for them to take Empress Hua away from the innermost part of the inner Palace that had been strictly guarded.

No, it should be said that it was almost impossible for anyone to take Empress Hua away from the heavily guarded Weiyang Palace.

"Qin Yi, if I order you to bring Empress Hua here from Weiyang Palace like this without alerting any guard in the Palace, can you do it?" Yun Shang asked Qin Yi, who was removing the bead hairpin from her head.

Qin Yi was stunned. She thought for a while and said softly, "I can't do it. We have Qian Zhuo around Empress Hua, but even with Qian Zhuo's help, we still can't be able to bring the Empress back to our mansion without disturbing the guards. Since the Empress came back to the Palace, the Emperor has strengthened the security, especially near Weiyang Palace. When Your Highness went to the Palace to greet the Empress, Qian Zhuo had told me that there were many masters in the Weiyang Palace now, and any of the maids in the palace had unique skills. As long as the Empress didn't want to, how could anyone take her away?"

Yun Shang closed her eyes and let Qin Yi comb her long hair. She felt that she had blocked her own way again. As Qin Yi said, she didn't think anyone could take Empress Hua out of Weiyang Palace, but the fact was Empress Hua did disappear.

Yun Shang felt a little upset. After taking a bath, she ordered Qin Yi to take Bao'er downstairs and ask the wet nurse and Chen Miaosi to take care of him. Then she went to bed.

The second morning, when Yun Shang woke up, she touched the place beside her and found it was cold. She didn't know whether Luo Qingyan stayed up all night or left early. Yun Shang called Qin Yi in loudly, stood up, walked to the bronze mirror and sat down. "Have you sent a secret signal to Qian Zhuo? Is there any response?"

Lord Hua Guo knew that since Yun Shang said so, it must be a sure thing. He stamped his feet and said with hatred, "I didn't expect that. Hua Yutong looked like a lively and cheerful girl. I thought she was a straightforward person like me. Most of our family members are like this. But unexpectedly, there was an exception. No, my brother is also very gullible. He will believe it if Empress Hua makes up a story."

Lord Hua Guo stood up and paced anxiously in the pavilion. After a long time, he said, "How about this? Anyway, I'm not an official now. I'll write a letter to my brother when I go back, telling him that I'm bored in the Jin City after I resigned and want to pay him a visit. He has always been very respectful to me. If I say I want to visit him, he surely will agree. Then I'll go to see what's going on there. If Empress Hua tries to do anything she shouldn't have, I won't let her go."

[Yun Shang hurriedly shook her head and said, "Grandfather, don't be impulsive. Since Xia Houjing dares to do so, he must have been well prepared. Besides, if grandfather write a letter to tell her father that you will go there, Xia Houjing will have a lot of time to plan. I'm afraid that he will do something bad to you."

"What can the little bastard do to me? When I started to fight in the battlefield, he hadn't even been born! The enemies I have killed are more than the meals he has eaten in his life. How could I be set up by him? I'm not that easy to be calculated." Hearing Yun Shang's words, Lord Hua Guo was irritated.

Yun Shang hurriedly comforted him, "Yes, I know grandfather is very valiant. But since Xia Houjing intends to rebel, he must have a lot of people. Grandfather doesn't have any soldier now. You can't resist thousands of troops by your own, can you?"

Lord Hua Guo stamped his feet and said impatiently, "I can't do that. Tell me, what should I do?"

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and looked at the lotus leaves in the lake. Although the lotus leaves had turned brown, there was still a dragonfly standing on them.

"It must be inappropriate for grandfather to go there. But I wonder if you can find an excuse to call Hua Yutong's father to the Jin City?" Yun Shang looked at Lord Hua Guo with a gleam in her eyes.

"It's not a big deal. When Ling'er came back to the palace, His Majesty wanted to promote more people in our mansion, but I refused as I didn't want to cause any trouble to Ling'er. But I can go to ask His Majesty for help. I'll tell him that I'm old and miss my brother and I want him to go back to the Jin City for reunion. There is no need to promote his official position. Just transferred him from the area where he is now. If my second brother is transferred, Xia Houjing will have no reason to make use of him." Lord Hua Guo seemed to have come up with a good idea. His eyes lit up. "I'm going back to my mansion to write a memorial."

Without waiting for Yun Shang's response, he rushed out of the pavilion and left in a hurry.
