Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 904

The following day after the banquet, rumors spread. Most of them said that the Crown Princess was so jealous she didn't allow the Crown Prince to marry any other women. Some said that the Crown Princess was a fierce woman. Back then, on the battlefield, she had rushed into the enemy's siege and saved the Crown Prince. No wonder even the Crown Prince didn't dare to marry a concubine.

Hearing the rumors reported by the secret guards in the mansion, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. "I'm afraid in the eyes of people who have never seen me, I must be a fierce woman who can twist a person with one hand."

However, Yun Shang was too busy to pay attention to these rumors. The Grand Ceremony would be held soon. As Empress Hua has lost her memory, even with the help of the old madams in the Palace, she was also very busy, so Yun Shang had to go to the Palace every day to help.

The Phoenix robe was prepared by Lady Shu before. Yun Shang was not sure whether Lady Shu had done anything to it. If there was anything wrong with the Phoenix robe, it would cause big trouble.

After thinking it over, Yun Shang discussed with Empress Hua and decided to make a new Phoenix robe. Since the embroidery on the robe was extremely complicated, there were only a few people in the Shangyi Bureau who knew this skill, so they had to make it all day and night.

In addition to the Phoenix robe and the Phoenix crown, there were a lot of things to prepare. Yun Shang was preoccupied with all kinds of things. She went back home much later than Luo Qingyan did every day.

After more than ten days, everything was finally ready. Yun Shang finally had time to rest. The first thing she did was to sleep until noon. When she woke up, she received an extremely bad news.

Liu Yinfeng, who was responsible for escorting the relief materials, encountered robbers less than ten miles away from Liucang City, and all the materials were robbed away.

Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned, "Robbers? Is everything okay with Mr. Liu and Dr. Zheng?"

The secret guard quickly said, "They are fine. Mr. Liu and Dr. Zheng have arrived Liucang City."

Yun Shang felt a little relieved and asked the secret guard to inquire about the situation. Before the secret guard went out, Luo Qingyan came back.

Yun Shang immediately asked, "I heard the relief supplies have been taken by robbers?"

Luo Qingyan sneered, "Robbers? According to the Liu Yinfeng letter, the robbers were well-trained and seemed to know that he was good at arrays. They were divided into two groups from the beginning. One group rushed straight to him, and the other group fight with the soldiers who were escorting the relief materials all the way, so that the soldiers could not form an array. I've never heard of such brave and resourceful robbers who know both themselves and their opponents well."

Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang realized that the so-called robbers were most likely disguised by Xia Houjing's men.

Xia Houjing was really a scheming man. She had thought that Xia Houjing would take the materials away in the name of disaster relief after Liu Yinfeng sent them to Liucang City. Then he would ask the soldiers he gathered to disguise as refugees and receive the relief supplies, which would be flawless. But she hadn't expected that he would do this unexpectedly. In this way, there was no evidence to prove that the relief supplies had been taken by him. No one would suspect him as Liu Yinfeng was the one to blame for he didn't protect the materials well.

"What should we do now?" Yun Shang frowned and looked up at Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan touched her hair and said gently, "Have you forgotten what we put in those relief supplies? Now Liu Yinfeng and Dr. Zheng have arrived at Liucang City. As long as Dr. Zheng is here, they can find the location of the materials through the fragrance of the perfumed pills. Besides, we have put drugs in the food. We don't need to worry about it."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and felt relieved. Then she asked, "Has His Majesty received the news?"

"Of course he has. But in the past two days, he was busy preparing for the Grand Ceremony, so he handed it over to me and asked me to investigate it thoroughly. I meant to take the opportunity to go to Liucang City, but His Majesty said that there was no need to be in a hurry. He asked me to send someone to investigate it first. If there is still no news, I can go there after the Grand Ceremony." Luo Qingyan said softly with a frown.

Yun Shang thought for a moment and didn't know what Xia Huanyu was thinking. It was better to investigate this matter as soon as possible, but Xia Huanyu asked Luo Qingyan to stay in the Jin City first. Did he want to help Xia Houjing?

But Empress Hua was Luo Qingyan's mother, so it made sense that he asked Luo Qingyan to stay for the Grand Ceremony. Yun Shang guessed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "As her son, you definitely should attend the Grand Ceremony for the Empress.

Lord Guo's wife just got up. She made a cup of tea and took a nap in the yard. When she saw [5 ], she

smiled and said, "I heard that you are too busy to go home these days. I didn't see you when I went to the crown prince's mansion a few times before, but I came back after seeing my son. It's not easy. What happened today?"

Yun Shang had to admire Lady Hua Guo's insight. She quickly walked up to Lady Hua Guo and said, "There is indeed something wrong. I wonder if Grandpa has told grandma that the seventh Prince wants to use the power of Hua Yutong's father to rebel from the Liucang City. Grandpa said that he would ask His Majesty to summon her father back to the Jin City. I want to know how it is going now." Seeing Yun Shang came in such a hurry to ask about it, Lady Hua Guo knew that Xia Houjing must have taken some action. She sat up straight and looked at Yun Shang, "I've heard about it from His Lordship, and His Majesty has agreed. The imperial edict seems to have been issued. His Ladyship also wrote a letter to her second brother urging him to return to the Jin City, but I don't know whether or not the letter has been sent. When His Lordship comes back, I'll ask him."

[Yun Shang nodded slightly and said, "The relief materials escorted by Liu Yinfeng have been robbed. And the seventh Prince will marry the daughter of the richest man in Liucang City as his concubine in a few days."

Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo frowned. "Robbed"? The robber must be the seventh Prince, right? "

Yun Shang had to admire Lady Hua Guo. Judging from Yun Shang's simple words, she knew that it was the seventh Prince who had done it.

"The letter from Mr. Liu only said that those robbers were well-trained and seemed to know that he was good at setting up arrays. They deliberately aimed at him and destroyed the formation of the team, making him unable to form an array. Then they took the materials away." Yun Shang replied softly.

Lady Hua Guo paused for a while and said, "That's it. The seventh Prince is by no means simple. He could even hide his strength for so many years and get rid of Xia Houyan on the quiet. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Qingyan, he would have been the Crown Prince. He must hate Qingyan very much. You must be careful."

Yun Shang answered in a low voice and said, "But it is not wise for Xia Houjing to rebel blatantly. In this way, he will become a traitor everyone hates." Lady Hua Guo let out a cold laughter and said, "Now he is a traitor. But if he succeeds in taking the throne, he will become a respected emperor. Since ancient times, the stronger one will rule the world. Back then, when the current Emperor was still a prince who was just a son of an imperial concubine, he killed his father and brother. The former Emperor and the former Crown Prince died miserably, and everyone cursed him for his cruelty. But the result is that the story has not been recorded in the history. Now people sing the praises of him as the State of Xia is peaceful and prosperous under his rule. I'm afraid that few people still remember the tragedy in the Taiji Palace."
