Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1039

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and sat down. Before long, Qian Liu entered the inner hall with a worried expression. She must have heard about it from someone. As soon as she got to the inner hall, she said hurriedly, "Your majesty, I've sent someone to contact the secret guards. No matter what happens, they must send someone back to the Jin City as soon as possible and tell us what has happened so that we can make a relative plan. But don't worry, your majesty. I have sprinkled some tracking powder on Xia Houjing's body before I left. Anyway, he can't escape from us."

Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes flashed with joy. If so, things would be much easier. Yun Shang walked back and forth in the inner hall before she ordered in a low voice, "The secret guards who were guarding Xia Houjing will come back to the Jin City first, and we don't have to hurry to follow Xia Houjing. Xia Houjing has just been saved, and the enemies must be very careful. The pursuers don't take any action first. Tomorrow, send someone to wait in Liucang City first. The troops of Xia Houjing's is still there. But there is a saying that the monk can run away, but the temple cannot. We will not arrange people to look for the trace of the seventh Prince until the day after tomorrow.

Qian Liu answered in a low voice. She glanced at Yun Shang and said, "I am sorry I didn't do it well enough. I've let others take advantage of the loophole."

Yun Shang shook her head and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with you. If it is really that person who does it, even if I send masters to guard him, it will be useless." After hearing what Yun Shang said, she paused for a moment and realized that Yun Shang must have guessed who had saved Xia Houjing. Qian Liu bowed quietly and left.

With her hands clasped behind her back, Yun Shang looked out of the window at the dark sky. Judging from what Xia Huanyu had done recently, he still had a lot of power in his hands, and he didn't give it all to Luo Qingyan. She didn't think too much before. She only thought that Xia Huanyu had left some secret guards to protect him and Hua Ling. But now, it seemed that they were not just that simple.

She could figure out what had happened in the palace. After all, Xia Huanyu had been in charge of the State of Xia for thirty years. It was normal that many forces were still kept in the imperial household of the previous dynasty. But after these two things, Yun Shang realized that Xia Huanyu was not only staring at the imperial household of the former dynasty, but also at Luo Qingyan and Xia Houjing.

This feeling was really not good.

Yun Shang was a little annoyed and ordered someone to go to the Taiji Palacel to see how things were going on there. The person who went to inquire about it came back soon and reported to Yun Shang, "Your Majesty, his majesty is in high spirits now. When I went there just now, several ministers were congratulating his majesty, saying that the Prince had grabbed the jade pendant and sword, whcih symbolized that the Prince would certainly make great achievements in the future. His majesty laughed and immediately drank three bowls of wine."

Yun Shang's throat tightened, and she waved her servants to leave.

It was a little late when Luo Qingyan went back to the Weiyang Palace. Yun Shang didn't mention the banquet, but told him everything about Xia Houjing in detail. Luo Qingyan kept silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said gently, "I heard that every emperor of the State of Xia has not only the imperial guards and the palace guards, but also thirty-six secret guards. Still, there is also a Zhuque army that no one else knows. It's an army of less than a hundred people, but each of them is a real elite. Its member is passed down from generation to generation, who only obeys the emperor's orders. Xia Huanyu should have handed over that army when I took over the throne, but he didn't mention it."
