Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1332

"What clues?" Yun Shang asked immediately.

"Rumor has it that his majesty was assassinated by the lake just now..."

Yun Shang's eyes were full of doubts. The rumor was completely within their expectations. It was not a clue.

While she was thinking, the secret guard continued, "And his majesty took a woman with him then. The two looked very close, but the woman was not the current empress."

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other and frowned.

The secret guards did mention that the fake Luo Qingyan was at a lantern stall with a woman when he was assassinated.

But at that time, they were attracted by the news that the fake Luo Qingyan was assassinated, so they didn't notice the woman at all. They only subconsciously thought that since someone had disguised as Luo Qingyan, then the woman beside Luo Qingyan must have disguised as Yun Shang.

When Yun Shang heard the news, she was at a loss. Soon she realized that what they had expected was probably wrong.

"Someone said firmly that he had met the woman beside his majesty. She was the princess of the State of Youyue who came to our State of Xia recently. He also said that the envoys of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai brought the princesses here for political marriage. It seemed that the emperor had a crush on the princess of the State of Youyue and she might become a lady in the imperial household of the State of Xia soon. "

"As soon as this rumor came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people. They said that they thought the emperor would only have the empress in his harem and that the emperor was very affectionate, but now it seemed that it was just because the emperor had not met someone he liked."

"Someone also said that the current empress was the princess of the State of Ning. If the princess of the State of Youyue became a concubine of the emperor, the two ladies in the imperial household will both be foreign princesses."

"They said now that everyone knew that his majesty and the princess of the State of Youyue were going shopping together, which was detrimental to the reputation of the princess. So his majesty should soon take her back to the palace."

Yun Shang pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "In case they would make trouble in the palace, I've tried every means to prevent them from entering the palace. I even drugged them with purgatives, which is not a very bright way to keep them in the post house. But I didn't expect that they could also find a way even they can't enter the palace. "

"What a surprise!"

Yun Shang's eyes were full of anger. If they didn't go out of the palace today and didn't know about it, tomorrow the rumor would have already been known to everyone in the city. At that time, no matter how they explained, they couldn't convince the public.

At that time, they would be in a dilemma. If they didn't take the princess back to the palace, the State of Youyue could use it as an excuse to attack the State of Xia.

At that time, the reputation of Luo Qingyan would be greatly damaged. People would say that as the emperor of a country, Luo Qingyan didn't even have the courage to take the responsibility.

If they were forced by rumors to return to take the princess back to the palace, the enemy's wish would be fulfilled.

No matter what choice they made, they would suffer losses.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and said with a smile, "don't worry. We are here now. We should know about it as soon as possible and know what they are planning. Then we have a way to deal with it."

Yun Shang nodded. Even if they were not here, she would still definitely not let the schemes of the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai succeed.

Luo Qingyan didn't know what Yun Shang was thinking. He turned around and asked the secret guard, "When will Liu Wenan come with the honor guards?" "Master Liu should be out of the palace now." Luo Qingyan nodded, "Inform the governor of the Jin City to gather soldiers to lead the way."

"Send another eight hundred city guards to escort me and her majesty."

"Yes."

After Luo Qingyan gave the order, he turned around and saw Yun Shang staring at him. He smiled and said, "Since the rumor is spreading, we have to make it grand so that we can resist it." "What's more, there are many people in the city today, mixed up with good and bad. It's safer to have more guards."

Yun Shang nodded and said nothing.

About an hour later, they heard a noise downstairs.

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the window, only to see the surging crowd on the street below. There was a faint voice of discussion, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you walking that way? "

"Some officers and soldiers are clearing the street. They said that the empress and the empress had gone out of the palace to visit the lantern show in the city and someone came to pick her up."
