Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1088

"I haven't found anything useful from the shopkeeper and the attendant of Wenshu Bookstore, but I can't rule out that there might be someone working for Xia Houjing in the bookstore. Although Xia Houjing has fallen into our hands now, his power in the Jin city can't be underestimated. Although I have cleaned up some of them before, there are still some remnants hidden around."

Yun Shang nodded and frowned, "I really don't know what Empress Hua wants to do, but I can see that she takes action so frequently. If she really has a purpose, it won't be long before it is exposed. Now that Xia Houjing is in our hands, we have plenty of time. I'd like to see what she is planning."

"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded, "The secret guard also found out that Prince Xian left his mansion yesterday and went straight to the north city gate. And he only took four servants with him. I've sent my secret guards to follow them. If anything happens, they will report it in time."

"Okay." Yun Shang said, "Prince Xian has been suffering a lot these days. If he goes out for a walk, it might be a good thing. I'm just afraid... He was used by someone on purpose."

"I know." Luo Qingyan smiled, "Don't worry. I won't be jealous."

Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan and ignored him. But she was still wondering what Hua Yutong was up to.

The weather was just right. It was neither cold nor hot. Luo Qingyan went to deal with government affairs. Yun Shang had nothing else to do, so she went to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

After appreciating the chrysanthemums for a while, she was taking a rest on the bridge of the lake when she saw Hua Ling slowly walking over with her servants.

Yun Shang stood up and bowed to Hua Ling. Hua Ling nodded. Then bun was handed over by a servant. She tore the bun into pieces and threw them into the lake. The fish in the lake gathered around to fight for it, which was very lively.

"I heard that Prince Xian has left the Jin city?" Hua Ling's voice was soft and calm.

Yun Shang nodded. She wasn't surprised that Hua Ling would know about it.

Hua Ling threw the pieces of bun into the lake unhurriedly, and looked at the fish fighting for food. "What a pity! I've heard of him when I was in the State of Ning. He is young, but he is good at both literature and martial arts. He is respected by all the officials and people. It's a pity that he has such a mother."

Yun Shang suddenly thought of something. After handing over Cao Wenxi to Xia Huanyu, Yun Shang didn't ask much about how Xia Huanyu would deal with her, nor did she mention it in front of Hua Ling. Now when she heard Hua Ling mention Cao Wenxi, she thought for a moment and said, "I've met Cao Wenxi several times. She is good at disguise and tricks. Father was just fooled by her."

Hearing this, Hua Ling smiled, "I know what you want to say. I'm old and have experienced a lot. What can't I see through?"

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled.

Indeed, Hua Ling had experienced many ups and downs in her life, so she could see through more than anyone else.

Before Yun Shang opened her mouth, Hua Ling got the topic back to the matter of Liu Yinfeng, "Prince Xian has a good reputation among the courtiers, and even more famous than his majesty. We know him well enough and know why he left the city this time. But the officials and people in the court don't know. What happened to Xia Houjing might also make them think that it's his majesty who mistreated Prince Xian, or his majesty thought Prince Xian was a threat and forced him to leave."

"Qingyan hasn't held the enthronement ceremony yet. If there are such rumors in the court at this time, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on Qingyan."

Hua Ling turned to Yun Shang, "I remember that Prince Xian and Qingyan are good friends. Why did he choose to leave at this time?"

Yun Shang frowned slightly, "Qingyan and I also feel that this matter is strange, and we are also asking people to investigate it, but we haven't got the answer yet. I and Qingyan both think that Prince Xian has his own difficulties."
