Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 170

Wen Ruyu didn't expect that Yun Shang would object in such a forceful manner. Yun Shang looked a bit like Prince Jing when she got angry. Wen Ruyu was worried because she realized that she had underestimated Yun Shang.

But if she couldn't guide the ladies to the place where the scream came from, how could she play a trick on Yun Shang? Wen Ruyu was anxious. Just as she was about to say something, Sun Ya'niang said gently, "Your Highness, you are the noblest. We will follow your orders."

Upon hearing what Sun Ya'niang said, Wen Ruyu didn't want to talk anymore.

As all the ladies were thinking about what happened outside, a cold voice said, "Shang'er, are you all right?"

Yun Shang knew it was Prince Jing. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. 'Uncle is here now. Lady Wen's plot to scheme against Uncle must have failed.' Yun Shang felt relieved and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm all right. All the ladies are here. The culprits should not attack us in the garden. So please, ask several bodyguards to guard the entrance of the garden lest some people get in."

The bodyguards gave a quick response and retreated.

Wen Ruyu was frightened. She didn't realize that the one who was speaking was Prince Jing. When she heard Yun Shang called him uncle, she was shocked. How could Prince Jing be here now?

Wen Ruyu started to act like a cat on hot bricks. 'Prince Jing had worn the robe prepared by the Grand Councilor. The flowers all withered when Prince Jing held them. It meant that the robe did work. But what happened just now? Why did Prince Jing appear here? Judging from Prince Jing's voice, he hadn't been hurt.

But if Prince Jing didn't get hurt, why was there a scream coming from the distance?'

As Lady Wen thought of this, a voice came from the entrance of the garden. "Princess Yun Shang is in the garden. Is everything okay in the garden?"

A roar interrupted the voice. "Prince Xia, please hold on. There are ladies in the garden. If you enter the garden, they will feel offended."

Yun Shang thought for a while. It sounded like Wang Jinhuan had roared at Xia Houjing. Yun Shang was not sure if the speaker was Wang Jinhuan as he was always jovial and immature. He seldom appeared to be tough. It was not normal for Wang Jinhuan to roar at Xia Houjing in such a way.

Just as she thought of this, Yun Shang heard Xia Houjing speak again. Apparently, Xia Houjing was a bit angry this time. "It's said that people in the State of Ning are all friendly and polite. I am a guest. How could you treat me in such an impertinent way?"

Just as Xia Houjing finished speaking, a short laugh sounded. Hearing the laugh, Yun Shang was convinced that Wang Jinhuan was the person who was talking to Xia Houjing outside the garden. Yun Shang admitted that Prince Jing was a meticulous and discreet man. He deliberately asked Wang Jinhuan to guard the entrance because he had predicted that if someone powerful wanted to enter the garden, the ordinary bodyguards would be unable to stop him but Wang Jinhuan could do it. "Oh? Prince Xia, it seems that you know you are a guest here. I thought you didn't know it. I heard that the seventh Prince of the State of Xia is genial and urbane. Judging from your countenance, I don't think you are the Prince of Xia. Talk! Who are you? Why do you pretend to be the Prince?"

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Wang, don't play a joke on the Prince. Prince Xia, thank you for your concern. We are all right here. There are some unmarried women here so I can't let you enter. I'm sorry, but you can see my dilemma."
