Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1456

Yun Shang looked up and saw Wu Duona being detained on the city wall. She didn't know what the general of Xia had said to the people in the city. They were all furious and cursed Wu Duona, and some even tried to throw some objects onto her.

Seeming to see Yun Shang's doubts, Liu Yinfeng said in a low voice, "When we took Wu Duona out, we searched her yard and found a lot of evidences."

She pointed at the official notice posted under the city wall.

"Including the letters of her with Cangjue Qingsu, the design drawing of the underground passage revised by Cangjue Qingsu and the detailed map of the city which was presented by the Lord of the city. Many places on the map would not have known by the people, if they hadn't been in the city for a long time.

The people hate us because we occupied the city, but they also feel desperate for a king they much trusted before but now who deserts them and even wants to kill them."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "They used to trust the king very much, so his behavior now would make them feel more disappointed."

Then she asked Liu Yinfeng in a low voice, "It makes sense that you can dig a secret tunnel under the ground to take me out. But how did you take Wu Duona away? I know that her yard

was heavily guarded because of her, so it was not easy for you to do that."

Liu Yinfeng answered with a smile, "Speaking of this, I have to thank you, the Empress, for your strenuous effort to win Wu Duona's trust these days."

"Me?"

She had been under house arrested. What kind of contribution could she do?

"I dispatched a woman who is good at personation skill. She disguised herself as you and pretended to been frightened for the collapse of ground, and rushed out for help. When the guards entered the room, they saw the secret underground passage. Then they reported it to Wu Duona, and she asked people to take you to her.

Wu Duona didn't guard against you. She asked the person who disguised as you to stay in the room with her. Besides, she sent a lot of servants to investigate the sinking ground. Therefore, there were only a few maids in the room. Then the woman, whom I dispatched, took the poison, which was made by Ghost Doctor, and poisoned Wu Duona and her maids. Then she took Wu Duona out through the secret passage with her."

Yun Shang nodded slightly. Although there was an event about the Lord of the city, as Liu Yinfeng said, after more than a month's contact, she had completely removed Wu Duona's defenses.

Wu Duona trusted her very much.

The general of Xia had already begun to send soldiers to yell at the people, promising that they would be kind to them and not disturb their original lives. The state of Xia just only sent a new city Lord to manage the city, and then they would remove the surrounding guards.

They also promised that they would try their best to fill in the empty places in the city, and that they would restore commercial paths between the city and the state of Xia as soon as possible.

But, if there was anyone who wants to intended to rebel, they would kill him immediately.

After that, he announced the way to punish Wu Duona. Three days later, Wu Duona would be burnt at the stake in the city.

Then he took Wu Duona away.

"Empress, are you going to see her?"

Yun Shang nodded, "It's time to do that."

Beside the city gate, there was a place for the guards who were changed to rest, and Wu Duona was taken there.

Yun Shang didn't remove her disguise. As soon as Wu Duona entered the room, she looked up at her. When she saw Yun Shang's face clearly, her eyes flashed with hatred.
