Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 187

Lord Hua Guo smiled at them. "The other day, I saw Her Highness, and I found that she looked a lot like my daughter. It made me feel close to her. Besides, I have heard that Prince Jing had an accident. When I thought of Her Highness's sadness, I became worried. So I came to make sure that she was fine."

Before they stopped talking, Lord Zheng entered in a hurry.

All of them present looked at Lord Zheng expectedly. Lord Zheng lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. "Your Majesty, Xiao Yuanshan has arrived."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows in surprise. A few days ago, Prince Jing had told her that her maternal grandfather was coming to see her. But she had forgotten this since she had been busy. Realizing that her grandfather was here now, Yun Shang was surprised.

"Father, it's my maternal grandfather!" she smiled at her father in excitement.

The Emperor was shocked too. Xiao Yuanshan had resigned from office and lived in seclusion ever since his daughter, Lady Jin, had been banished to the Cold Palace. Now Lady Jin was going to give birth to another child. The Emperor had heard that Xiao Yuanshan went to Laifeng City to see her. However, he had no idea why Xiao Yuanshan had come to the Imperial Palace.

"Is he the former Grand Tutor? I heard about him in the State of Xia. People told me that he was a brilliant man. I've long wanted to visit him. What a coincidence!" said Lord Hua Guo with a smile.

"Let him in." The Emperor commanded.

A man dressed black walked in the door. His face could not be seen as the light source was behind him. However, it was clear that the man was tall and straight. 'I haven't seen my grandfather in a long time. He still has an imposing appearance!' thought Yun Shang. She flashed her grandfather a brilliant smile.

"Grandfather!" Yun Shang ran to the man, and finally saw his familiar face.

Xiao Yuanshan looked at his granddaughter and laughed happily. "Shang'er, you're getting prettier! You become more and more like your mother." Then he turned to the Emperor and saluted. "Long live Your Majesty!"

The Emperor looked at the man, and sighed. He was about to say something. After a long time, he spoke up. "Once my teacher, always my teacher. You don't have to be too polite."

Xiao Yuanshan produced a forced smile. Of course, he couldn't be as happy. It was not easy to forgive the man who had broken his daughter's heart and made her suffer for years.

The Emperor noticed the apathetic expression on Xiao Yuanshan's face. 'If I hadn't let him go, our nation would have became more prosperous,' thought the Emperor. He hung his head and was bitterly remorseful.

"I haven't seen you in years, my teacher. What can I do for you?" the Emperor asked softly.

Xiao Yuanshan stared at Yun Shang, and smiled. "The other day I went to Ning'guo Temple to pray, and I met Master Wu Na. He told me that you might get into big trouble. I was worried, so I came to see you." "Trouble?" Everyone was amazed, especially the Emperor. People in the State of Ning believed in Buddhism. As Master Wu Na was famous for his marvelous predictions, everyone believed him. Over the years, everything had turned out just as Master Wu Na predicted. Now that he had said that Yun Shang was going to get into deep trouble, his warning had to be taken seriously.

"Did Master Wu Na tell you what exactly the trouble might be? Or if there is any way to defuse it?" the Emperor asked eagerly. Yun Shang also stared at Xiao Yuanshan anxiously.
