Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1013

Luo Qingyan was stunned, with an unbelievable look in his eyes. After a while, he asked, "Are you kidding, my lady?"

However, there was no smile on Yun Shang's face. "Your Majesty, I'm not joking. I've just come up with a way, which is called to fight with death and survive..."

The next morning, as soon as Luo Qingyan got up and went to the court, Yun Shang got up. He asked Qian Zhuo to find her an ordinary dress and make her a simple hairstyle.

The secret guard asked to see her, and Yun Shang let him enter the inner hall.

Yun Shang looked up and said gently, "I ordered three things yesterday. How is everything going?"

The secret guard hurriedly cupped his hands and answered, "Master, the people in the secret prison have been safely sent out of the palace. Ning Qian has also replied two hours ago that everything is ready. I have kept in mind what they talked about last night. Please allow me to repeat it for you."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

"Yesterday, I hid on the roof of the Huaixiu Palace. When I uncovered a tile, I saw that Qi Ruihai entered Lady Wan's bedroom..."

There was no servant in the bedroom.

The nineteenth prince was lying on a small bed in the room. Lady Wan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him. Hearing the footsteps behind her, she turned around and said, "You're here?"

Qi Ruihai nodded slightly and hurriedly took a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Lady Wan. He sighed and said, "Now the Empress is getting more and more powerful in the imperial household. I have to be careful in everything. I managed to get a few of them, and they can hold on for half a year. I heard that the Emperor and the Empress are leaving the palace in a few days. I'll get some more then."

Lady Wan's face was a little pale. She nodded repeatedly and carefully opened the handkerchief. On the handkerchief, there were a few black pills quietly.

Lady Wan woke up the nineteenth Prince and comforted him softly, "Come on, An An, have a sweet pill."

The nineteenth Prince seemed to be much better, and his face was a little ruddy. Hearing what his mother said, he took the pill obediently, put it in his mouth and bit it into pieces.

After eating the pill, he yawned and fell asleep.

Looking at him, Qi Ruihai thought for a moment and said, "Now that the new Emperor has ascended the throne, why are you still so vigilant?"

Hearing this, Lady Wan shook her head repeatedly and gritted her teeth. "I have only one child. I must protect him. There are open strife and secret struggles in the palace for that position. I don't want my son to be a victim."

Qi Ruihai stopped persuading her.

After a long time, Lady Wan looked up again. "I heard that the Empress wants to woo you?" Qi Ruihai nodded slightly, "She did mention it to me before."

Hearing this, Lady Wan stood up in a hurry and looked at Qi Ruihai, with a gleam shining in her eyes. "Why didn't you agree? Now the Empress is in a good condition. Although there are all kinds of rumors outside, I don't think she was hurt at all. I don't think she is easy to get along with. If you don't agree her, she will think that you are her enemy. In that case, she will pick up on you."

Qi Ruihai frowned and said after a while, "I know. But it seems she doesn't want me to stay in the Neishi Bureau anymore. If I can't stay in the Neishi Bureau... " Qi Ruihai looked at the black pills on the brocade handkerchief and said, "I'm afraid I can't get these things again."

A guilty look flashed through Lady Wan's eyes when she heard Qi Ruihai's words. She thought for a long time and said, "It's us who dragged you down."

Hearing this, Qi Ruihai hurriedly said, "Don't say that. I've been looking for you for so many years to make up for your suffering these years. It's getting late. I'm going back."

Lady Wan nodded. Then Qi Ruihai went out of the the bedroom and left the Huaixiu Palace.

Hearing the secret guard's detailed description, Yun Shang was confused. What's the relationship between Lady Wan and Qi Ruihai? What is the pill that the nineteenth princes had?

Yun Shang stood up and walked back and forth in the hall. She suddenly remembered that when she called Qi Ruihai to the Weiyang Palace to draw him over, Qi Ruihai had said that he didn't want to leave the Neishi Bureau because his sister was sold into the palace and he came for her. Just now, the secret guard said that Qi Ruihai had told Lady Wan yesterday that he had been looking for her for many years to make up for her suffering.

Yun Shang paused. Was Lady Wan Qi Ruihai's sister?

However, if Lady Wan was sold to the palace as a maid, how could she become a concubine of Xia Huanyu?

"Qian Zhuo, send a message to Qin Yi and ask her to inquire about Lady Wan's background." Yun Shang looked up and ordered Qian Zhuo.
