Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 165

Yun Shang requested leave from the Emperor and the Empress, and returned to Qingxin Palace with Qian Yin. As soon as Qian Yin entered the Hall, she told everything that had happened at Qiwu Palace to Qin Yi. She gloated, "Qin Yi, you should have seen the expression of the Empress and Hua Jing. It was so exciting. However, I think Hua Jing looked more quiet and not as stupid as she was before."

Yun Shang smiled at the fact that Hua Jing was not a fool. Actually, she was cunning enough to prepare schemes in advance. However, Hua Jing had been spoiled since her childhood. She may be smart, but she never knew how to exercise patience.

If she learned how to restrain herself, she would certainly be a good opponent. An opponent that Yun Shang wouldn't be able to ignore so easily. What a pity that she was too conceited to learn that.

Qin Yi felt uneasy about Yun Shang making fun of the Emperor. She said with hesitation, "Your Highness, will Lady Ya be angry at you?"

Yun Shang smiled faintly and shook her head, "I have trained Lady Ya for a long time. So, she won't feel anger at such a trivial matter. On the contrary, this can help her. I saw the Empress wanted to draw Lady Ya over to her side, but felt she couldn't be fully trusted. If I fool with Lady Ya either by accident or on purpose, the Empress will trust her more."

The two maids listened and agreed with a nod, before dropping the topic. Then, Qin Yi whispered, "Your Highness, a short while ago a message was delivered from the master. She warns that you should take proper precautions against the Li Clan. Since those envoys are staying in the Imperial City now, she is worried that people from the Li Clan might play dirty tricks against you. Li Clan has set many spies at the Imperial Palace, and you should be careful."

Yun Shang was moved. Although Lady Jin was awaiting her delivery at the temporary imperial palace in Laifeng, she was paying attention to the movements and trends in the Imperial City to warn Yun Shang about any possible danger in advance.

Yun Shang smiled faintly, "I see."

Although Yun Shang did prepare herself against possible risks, the Li Clan still tried to hurt Yun Shang in an unexpected way.

The day before the Flower Show Banquet, Grand Councilor Li came to the Imperial Palace. Later, Yun Shang was summoned by Lord Zheng to Qinzheng Hall. When she changed and arrived at Qinzheng Hall, she saw Prince Jing walking toward the Hall in haste.

Yun Shang meditated for a moment and still couldn't figure out why they had both been summoned. When Prince Jing and Yun Shang entered Qinzheng Hall, they saw Grand Councilor Li sitting beside the Emperor with a serious expression. He was talking with the Emperor.
