Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1059

Yun Shang blinked her eyes, but Shu Jin smiled. "When your grandfather came back to the Imperial City, he told Chenxi that you couldn't understand the letter he wrote. Chenxi was depressed for quite a while for this. Then he worked hard and practiced calligraphy all day long, but he was still scolded by your grandfather."

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She touched Chenxi's head and said, "Grandpa lied to you. He just wanted you to study and practice your handwriting."

With his eyes wide open, Chenxi looked up at Yun Shang and then at Shu Jin. "Ouch!" he screamed, clapping his knees with both hands, "Grandpa is so bad!

Yun Shang and Lady Jin couldn't help laughing at his reaction.

Chenxi was vexed for a while. Then he turned to Yun Shang, blinking with a cunning look, "Sister, I heard that you were taught by Grandfather when you were a child. Did Grandfather ever lie to you like this?"

Yun Shang shook her head. Seeing the depressed look on Chenxi's face, she smiled again and said, "Maybe it's because I was much more honest than Chenxi. I would follow Grandpa's every idea. I would read and write whenever Grandpa asked me to, so he didn't blame me much."

"I see," replied Chenxi. He pouted, lowered his head and sighed, "All right. Everyone has his own ambitions." Seeing him acting like an adult, Yun Shang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

After returning to the palace, Yun Shang ordered the guards to send the luggage of Emperor Ning and his group to the post house. She went back to the palace together with Emperor Ning and his group. The family chatted for a while. Seeing that Shu Jin and Chenxi were tired after a long journey, Yun Shang asked the guards to send them back to their post house for a rest.

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan returned to the Weiyang Palace. Luo Qingyan said softly, "Judging from brother's expression, he seemed as if he wanted to swallow me alive."

Yun Shang blinked and asked in surprise, "Really? Why can't I notice it? "

Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe he saw that you and I have a good relationship today, and he couldn't show his resentment in front of you. He could only show his silent fury to me secretly." Then he waved his hand and said, "It's natural for Brother to be angry with me. Well, have you put Cao Shanxiu in the private prison?"

Yun Shang nodded and said, "Yes. I consider that Father and Mother are both now in the Jin City and often come to the palace. It's inevitable for them to walk around in the Weiyang Palace. It's not good if they see them. I'm the only one in your Imperial Palace. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any internal strife, and they probably don't want me to interfere too much in these affairs."

"Yes, you are right," Luo Qingyan replied softly and he was lost in thought.

As for Cao Shanxiu, Yun Shang said helplessly, "She doesn't yield to either hard or soft tactics. It's not easy to get the truth from her. Recently, I have asked my secret guards to interrogate her. These secret guards are specialized and proficient in interrogating, but Cao Shanxiu is such a tough nut!. I'm still thinking about getting up early tomorrow. Before Father and Mother enter the palace, I'll go to the private prison to see Cao Shanxiu in person. And I haven't seen her for a few days."

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "It's also been a few days since I sent the letter to Liucang City. I think we will a reply soon."

Yun Shang realized what Luo Qingyan meant. It was the rumor that she had killed Cao Shanxiu that they planned to let Xia Huanyu hear. She nodded and said, "I don't know how His Former Majesty will react. But I've kept Cao Shanxiu in the palace. It is not a secret in the imperial household. I'm afraid that someone will spread the truth to His Former Majesty. In that case, our plan will be meaningless."

Luo Qingyan smiled proudly, "Don't worry. I've been in the palace for nearly a year, and it's not in vain. I've learned a lot. Before this, I've tried to transfer all the secret guards I can use to the surroundings of the palace and have made a good plan about it. Once anyone who send messages to His Former Majesty is found, we will try every means to eliminate him. Liu Wenan is the key person under surveillance. Now it's not easy for him to send a letter out of the palace than when he first came here."

Luo Qingyan put his arms around Yun Shang's waist and continued, "This time, I'm sending a message with an eagle. The eagle took the letter to Yang Liu Town. After the secret guards there received the message, they would think of a way to send it to His Former Majesty. Even if someone has sent a related message to His Former Majesty, it would probably take more than ten days for His Former Majesty to get the information. This gap in time can make a difference."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Great. I'm not as good as you."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Sometimes, if you play such a trick when you want to deal with a tough nut, you may gain something."

Hearing this, Yun Shang squinted at Luo Qingyan, and lost herself in thought. After quite a while, Yun Shang said, "Learning from your majesty is better than reading for ten years."

On the second morning, Yun Shang got up early and went straight to the private prison. Cao Shanxiu had lost a lot of weight and her face was a little pale, but she looked good. When she saw Yun Shang, she stood up to greet her and said with a smile, "It's very rare for your majesty to come here."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Lady Cao, you are quite at ease here. I'm a little surprised. Although Lady Cao was only a collateral relative of the Cao clan, the Cao clan was one of the most popular clans in the State of Xia before. Moreover, Lady Cao was also a daughter of the eminent family before you married into the imperial palace. I didn't expect that you, as a lady from an eminent family, so weak and delicate, could survive the repeated interrogations of the secret guards."
