Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1339

Yun Shang didn't expect Luo Qingyan to figure out the key point with just a few words. She pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, it was a coincidence. But it was not easy that I confirmed my guess at that time. To be honest, the process was really complicated."

Luo Qingyan couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "Oh really? How complicated was it? Would you like to share the details with me?"

Yun Shang cast a thoughtful look at him. She didn't plan to hide it from him in the first place. With a slight grin on her face, she sorted out her thoughts and then calmly opened her mouth, "At first, I didn't doubt it at the very beginning. I have never met those envoys before, so I don't know their manners or temperament."

Speaking of this, Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan in the eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, you have actually met them several times. Haven't you doubted them at all?"

Luo Qingyan smiled, "At that time, it was obvious that Shan Xian and Gong Yu had deliberately restrained their behaviors in front of me. In addition, when we met, Prince Ming Yue was the one who talked to me most of the time, so I didn't pay much attention to the rest."

Yun Shang nodded. It was exactly as she had expected. She continued, "At the beginning, I actually wanted to use a trick to sow dissension between them. I thought that these envoys seem to be in harmony with each other, but after all, they are from two different countries. There must be some suspicions and fights among them in private. Moreover, they might even have planted spies around each other.

Therefore, I wanted to pretend to encounter Shan Xian by chance and then find a way to talk with him in front of everyone so that the men from the State of Youyue would see us. In this way, when they all come to the palace to greet us, they will be shocked to find out who I really am. They will definitely doubt Shan Xian and the State of Yihai, suspecting that the State of Yihai has colluded with us for a long time.

So I sent people to keep an eye on the tavern and as a result, I successfully made a contact with Shan Sean as I wish. But I didn't expect that Shan Xian actually was meeting Gong Yu there. It did come to me as a big surprise.

I thought it would be better. In this way, when Gong Yu saw me talking to Shan Xian, he would definitely become suspicious.

Later, I went to the tavern and exposed my real identity to them on purpose. I am quite sure that when Gong Yu finds out that I'm the one who talked to Shan Xian the other day, he will immediately find a way to report this piece of information to Prince Ming Yue.

However, things turned out differently. When I arrived at the tavern, it was not as turbulent as I had expected. It was obvious that Shan Xian and Gong Yu only briefly met in the study, and then they departed as if nothing major had happened. What's worse, Gong Yu didn't even report anything to Prince Ming Yue.

I was already suspicious of the two. Gong Yu's behaviour that day made my suspicion grow even bigger."

As they talked, Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan arrived at the Meeting Hall. There was no one else in the hall and the two stepped in.

Yun Shang sat down comfortably on the chair and continued, "With this doubt buried in my heart, I even secretly sent people to check if they had skilfully disguised themselves, but strangely, they didn't.

Later, Your Majesty met the leaders of the trade groups from the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai. According to them, although they had heard of the name of Prince Ming Yue, they had never seen him in person.

Back then, they described Prince Ming Yue as someone truly gorgeous. Gentle and elegant, he is the ideal husband for many women of the State of Youyue.

However, I don't think the man we met in the palace deserves such a comment."

Her words made Luo Qingyan chuckle, he teased, "My dear empress, you must have a rather high taste in men. I'm afraid that in your mind, few men can live up to your standard of an ideal husband.
