Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 171

"Oh?" Yun Shang looked at Qian Yin. "Did the third Prince of the State of Yelang breed enmity with others?"

Yun Shang glanced around and saw that everyone was buried in thought. They seemed to wonder who stabbed Cangjue Qingsu and why he was stabbed.

Everyone remained silent in the yard before someone said from outside, "Shang'er, since the third Prince was stabbed and injured, everyone present is a suspect. Go meet His Majesty."

All the girls became worried. They never thought that they would encounter such a terrible experience here. Yun Shang pacified them with a smile. "Don't worry. We were all in the yard. No one had time to attempt an assassination on the third Prince. They will just ask you questions as a matter of routine."

What Yun Shang said relieved them. They stood up, put on their veils, and followed Yun Shang out of the yard.

Prince Jing stood under a cherry tree outside the yard. When the wind blew, the cherry blossoms on the tree fell on Prince Jing. Hearing footsteps, Prince Jing raised his head and saw Yun Shang and the others walking out of the garden. He looked much more handsome under the cherry tree. At the sight of Yun Shang who walked out first, Prince Jing smiled. His typical indifferent expression changed to a gentle one and entranced the other girls.

"Shang'er." Prince Jing said gently. Yun Shang sighed and thought, 'He must do it deliberately. Even if I don't look back, I know the girls following me must be fascinated.'

"I just heard that the third Prince was stabbed and hurt. Is it serious? Who stabbed him?" Yun Shang went up to Prince Jing and whispered.

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Shang. "You know the answer, right?"

Yun Shang looked back at the girls behind her. "Yes, I do. But the girls following me have no idea."

"The third Prince has been seriously hurt. He was stabbed in the abdomen, but the imperial physician said that it wouldn't take his life. The assassin has been arrested, but His Majesty suspects that there were accomplices, so he ordered all of you to go over." Prince Jing said in a low voice.

Yun Shang knew that Cangjue Qingsu had been hurt, but she didn't know whether he was hurt seriously. Now she knew that his wound was serious. That was just what Yun Shang wanted.

Yun Shang nodded. "Let's go, or His Majesty will have to wait."

Prince Jing led them to a yard in the backyard. This yard... Yun Shang squinted at the yard. What a good place it was. It was clearly Hua Jing's yard. Although this was just a temporary imperial palace, each of the masters had their own yard. This yard was named Jinglan Garden, and it belonged to Hua Jing.
