Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 146

"Hehe..." Someone sniggered. Yun Shang looked back and found that the members of Li Clan looked grim. She didn't see where the laughter came from.

"Prince Jing, it's my fault. Please pardon my offense. I am leaving now." Grand Councilor Li bowed to Prince Jing and left straight away.

Members of the Li Clan followed him. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to restrain their anger if they stayed.

Since Grand Councilor Li had left, many guests also took their leave. Yun Shang stood beside Prince Jing and bid them farewell. Soon all the guests had left except for Wang Jinyan and Wang Jinhuan. Only after everyone had left did they burst into laughter. Yun Shang looked worried. She pointed at the room behind to remind them that Cangyang Yu'er was still around and that they shouldn't be so impolite.

Prince Jing glanced back. A look of disgust came over his face. "What eyes don't see is regarded as clean. Let's rest in the lobby. I will have her thrown out and then I will ask servants to demolish the pavilion." With these words, he left for the lobby.

Wang Jinhuan caught up with Prince Jing and wrapped an arm around his neck. While he said something happily, Prince Jing brushed Wang Jinhuan's hand off. But Wang Jinhuan put his hand back a minute later. Yun Shang frowned and worried about Prince Jing's wound...

'Your Highness, let's take a seat there." Wang Jinyan said in a low voice, "Cangyang Yu'er embarrassed herself. It was indeed greatly satisfactory. Your Highness, she covets Prince Jing. Are you happy with her fate?"

A smile appeared on Jinyan's lips. Yun Shang glared at her and said, "Nonsense!"

Wang Jinhuan and Wang Jinyan laughed for a while in the lobby. Satisfied with how the day had ended, they left. Only Yun Shang and Prince Jing remained. They didn't speak.

Then Prince Jing sighed. He looked up and scolded, "You are reckless!"

Yun Shang didn't reply. She flashed him an attractive smile. His heart softened. He stopped his preaching and warned, "Next time, don't be so willful. Grand Councilor Li certainly knew he was drugged. If he had asked the Emperor to investigate, you would have been involved in the case. How could you do something like this on the spur of the moment? I know you didn't plan it. The chamberlain said that you have been busy. How could you spare time and energy to trap him?"

"Uncle, what you said is wrong. It was your chamberlain who led the Emperor to the wrong room. If you hadn't ordered him, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily." Yun Shang smiled at Prince Jing and added, "Moreover, I did it because I am sure Grand Councilor Li wouldn't want to lose face. So he wouldn't admit to being drugged. Especially if you and my father were present. Cangyang Yu'er is the sworn daughter of the Chief Councilor. Her status is embarrassing. She came with Cangjue Qingsu though. What the truth is, doesn't matter. Grand Councilor Li couldn't contradict Cangjue Qingsu, or else, my father would vent his anger on the Grand Councilor. He has been cautious for most of his life. He won't risk his status to enrage my father."

Prince Jing shook his head and said, "You were reckless. But you really knew how he thinks. I hope it won't happen again. I'll clear up the messy situation. Don't do something like this next time. Don't."

There was happiness in Yun Shang's eyes. She looked up and smiled like a spoiled child, "Uncle, that is very kind of you."

Yun Shang thought happily, 'Flattering Prince Jing is effortless and worthy. My last life didn't have a wonderful ending. I have my own powers now, but it's not enough. It's better to find some support.'

Prince Jing was excited as she had finally accepted his help. But she would never know it.

The chamberlain of Prince Jing's Mansion entered. He greeted both Prince Jing and Yun Shang. Then he reported, "Your Highness, Lady Qian Qian is looking for you."
