Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1479

"It's not a good way to delay something like this. How about we find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible?"

Taking a look at Yun Shang, Xia Huanyu loosened his grip on the chess piece and put it down after a long time.

"The people are more important than the emperor. I don't want to know what kind of method you are going to use to completely finish this matter. I just hope that you can put the lives and interests of the people in the first place."

Xia Huanyu lowered his eyes and said, "As for Xia Houjing, he is a man who ignores the lives of the people and will never be able to be an emperor."

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes."

Xia Huanyu's eyes froze on the chessboard for a long time before he continued, "You said that you and Luo Qingyan suspected that Xia Houjing was hiding in the Cao Mansion?"

"Yes." Yun Shang paused for a while. She remembered that Xia Huanyu didn't know the relationship between the current Cao clan of the Jin City and the previous one, so she explained, "The current Cao clan is a distant branch of the former one. Later, it was supported by Cao Wenxi, so it became what it is now."

Xia Huanyu nodded. No one know what he was thinking about, and the chess piece in his hand didn't fall down for a long time.

Yun Shang was not in a hurry. She just played with the chess piece in her hand casually. She looked down, but a scheming look flashed through her eyes without being seen by Xia Huanyu.

Previously, Xia Huanyu asked for Cao Wenxi, but they didn't know where Xia Huanyu put Cao Wenxi. They had never heard of Cao Wenxi again. But she always felt that Xia Huanyu would not really kill Cao Wenxi.

If Cao Wenxi was still alive and was only hidden by Xia Huanyu...

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. She had made it very clear to Xia Huanyu about the current situation. As long as Xia Huanyu still knew what was more important and maintained the sense of responsibility as an emperor, he would definitely help them influence Cao Wenxi.

But Xia Huanyu didn't mention it again. He just asked casually, "I heard that this morning, the emperor issued a decree that people can only go out of the Jin City but not get in, and he also issued a law that all the people should accept military training?"

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I heard about it too."

"Oh? What does the emperor want to do?"

Yun Shang blinked, "I really don't know. I just heard it from my servant this morning."

"The emperor has never discussed with you?"

Yun Shang was confused. "Father, you must be kidding. These are political affairs. I can't interfere in political affairs as a member of the imperial household. Even if the emperor wants to discuss with me, I dare not."

Xia Huanyu just sneered and said nothing.

After a while, Hua Ling came in with a plate and put it at Yun Shang's hand. "I made it myself, tea cakes. I learned it from the outside recently. I ground tea into powder and made it into cakes. The cakes have the fragrance of tea, fresh and not greasy. I like them very much. Have a try."

"Thank you, mother."

Yun 8hang took a piece of cake with a smile on her face. Xia Huanyu didn't mention those political affairs anymore. He just said casually, "You haven't played chess for a long time, and your chess skills have decreased a lot."

"Yes, father." Yun Shang nodded, "I have a lot of things to deal with recently, so I have slacked off in chess."

"This chess skill is like kungfu. If you don't practice it for a day, you will know. But if you don't practice for a month, your opponent will know."
