Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1471

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. He knows that we have sent people to keep an eye on the Cao family, but he hides in the Cao mansion aboveboard. He is indeed a resourceful person."

Yun Shang smiled, "I wonder what he wants to do by luring me to the Cao mansion? Does he want to take me alive to threaten you?"

"It's not impossible." Luo Qingyan said casually, "It would be a good deal for him to exchange a fake Yun Shang for a real Yun Shang."

"It's indeed a good deal. Xia Houjing made a good plan." Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "But I can't just watch Qian Zhuo get drugged and lose her memory, and be imprisoned in the Cao mansion, can I?

If I don't go to the Cao mansion to pick up Qian Zhuo, I'm afraid that Xia Houjing will know that we've already guessed his schemes, and we're most likely not to be fooled. If he thinks we won't be fooled, he is very likely to kill Qian Zhuo."

Luo Qingyan shook his head, "No, he won't. Since Xia Houjing knows that you have a deep relationship with Qian Zhuo, he won't kill her easily. He will think that he wants to trade Qian Zhuo for you, but you think this deal is not worthwhile and you won't be fooled. Then he will change the deal. He will change it to a deal that you can barely accept."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "And you just came back to the palace. There is no hurry. You can pretend to be busy for a few days and pretend that you don't have time to deal with the matter of Qian Zhuo.

Didn't Ning Qian say that? Qian Zhuo just lost her memory and couldn't remember anything. On the surface, Old Lady Cao wants to let her be Cao Yi's wife so she doesn't restrict her freedom.

You can't ask for her in person, but there are many ways to rescue her. We can find a way to rescue her... You have many secret spies in the Cao mansion, don't you?"

Yun Shang thought for awhile and nodded, "Yes." Seeing that Yun Shang take his advice, Luo Qingyan was a little relieved. "We need to think it over. Since we know that Xia Houjing is in the Cao mansion, we have to take him into consideration in the plan and don't make any decision without thinking through."

Yun Shang nodded, "I see."

The second morning, Qian Yin went to the palace.

"I've arranged people to keep an eye on the cemetery and the mass graves outside the city. I found that the number of people who died this year is indeed much more than before. In particular, there are many nameless corpses in the mass graves outside the city, and many of them are hidden very secretly.

The secret guards have checked four cemeteries and two mass graves. Judging from the corruption of the corpses, there should be more than a thousand corpses that have died in the past month. This is almost the total number of nameless corpses in the past year...

When the secret guards were investigating, they accidentally found that some corpses were scattered in a dense forest outside the city. I guess in places we don't know and few people go, there are maybe many corpses scattered like this."

Yun Shang closed her eyes slightly, as if her neck was strangled, unable to breathe.

It was one thing to guess, and it was another thing to see the truth in front of her.

She had thought that Xia Houjing would try every means to seize the throne. She deliberately poisoned Xia Houjing and let him go, hoping that Xia Houjing would take the initiative to contact his companions and then destroy them all.

She had thought that Xia Houjing would make a move when Luo Qingyan's leaving from the Jin City for the temporary imperial palace for hunting by force to seize power.
