Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 172

Yun Shang stood quietly. She knew that many people were watching her and had their own judgments. Yun Shang's eyes ran across the room. She saw that the Li Clan was surprised. Wen Ruyu looked blankly at Yun Shang, but Prince Jing was smiling.

Yun Shang turned back and saw that Emperor Ning was thoughtful. She smiled and walked to Emperor Ning, "Father, do you blame me for being too reckless? I am angry. Some people are clearly dogs, but they have run wild on the grassland for some time and have never been told that they are dogs from childhood, so they think they are wolves."

Emperor Ning smiled. Although he was amazed at what Yun Shang said, he was somewhat happy. His daughter wasn't weak, and no one could bully her. Moreover, she defended him, which made him happy.

"What you said is right."

Yun Shang turned her head, pretending that she didn't see the man's furious and murderous look. She looked at the two men kneeling on the floor and frowned. "Well, I seem to have met the assassin in black before. But I just can't remember where."

Prince Jing laughed. "You have indeed met him. We met him when we had an outing on the third of March this year. He is Wen Qingzhu."

Yun Shang was now enlightened. "Oh yes! I remember that. He is indeed Wen Qingzhu. He came with Wen Ruyu that day... But why did he hurt the Prince?" Yun Shang looked at Wen Ruyu as if absorbed in thought. Lord Zheng had brought the chairs. Wen Ruyu was about to sit down when she heard Yun Shang mention her. Stunned, she looked incredulously at the two men kneeling on the floor. She thought that they were familiar, but she didn't think much about their identity as they were the assassins who had stabbed Cangjue Qingsu.

Wen Ruyu was surprised. She quickly went up to the two men in shock and disbelief. Even though she now knew who they were, she couldn't help but shout out, "Father, brother..." She was totally astonished.

Wen Qingzhu looked broken-down. His clothes were messy. His bun was loose. His face had paled, and his hands were trembling. As Wen Ruyu called out to him, he raised his head to look at Wen Ruyu before lowering his head again.

Wen Yunqing straightened his back. But his frown revealed his emotions.

Wen Ruyu didn't know what was happening. Shocked, she turned to look at Grand Councilor Li, but Grand Councilor Li didn't look at her. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother, what happened? You have never met the third Prince of the State of Yelang before. Why did you stab him?" Wen Ruyu squatted and grabbed Wen Qingzhu's arm. As Wen Qingzhu didn't respond, she tightened her grip. Wen Qingzhu frowned and looked at Wen Ruyu, but he didn't say anything.

Wen Ruyu helplessly turned to look at Wen Yunqing, "Father."

Wen Yunqing frowned and remained silent.
