Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 229

Jing Wenxi wanted to say something, but she hesitated after hearing Yun Shang's words. "I will follow your orders and wait here."

Yun Shang gave Jing Wenxi a deep look, and then went into the hall with Lady Jin, who looked pale. As soon as they entered the hall, Lady Jin hurriedly went to the bedside and looked at the little baby. Seeing nothing wrong with the baby, she pulled Yun Shang and said, "you say, it was Miss Jing who set up Chenxi. But Chenxi got pimples on his body. It's not toxic"

"Mother, if Jing Wenxi insists on getting Chenxi a pimple, she can have it stained on anyone's dirty clothes or anything he has touched. Chenxi has just been born, and his body is much less stronger than an adult's, a small amount of pimple can easily get him infected." Yun Shang turned to Lady Jin and said gravely, "As soon as Jing Wenxi came here, Chenxi is ill. I have to doubt her."

Lady Jin was silent for a moment before she looked up at Yun Shang, "Miss Jing, does she have a crush on Prince Jing?"

Yun Shang was stunned. She nodded, "yes." "I'm sorry, mother. I'm not suspicious of her. It was just that she came at the right time. Something bad happened to Chenxi. I couldn't think of any reason for her doing that. It occurred to me that she liked Prince Jing. Since she likes him, she will naturally take me as a thorn in her side. So, what she has done is normal. Jing Wenxi looks innocent, but how many daughters of big families in the Imperial City are as harmless as she looks? " Lady Jin frowned. "Since you know she likes Prince Jing, why did you let her in and leave her outside? Now that you know Prince Jing is coming, why do you create opportunities for her to get along with him?"

Hearing Lady Jin's question, Yun Shang smiled. "Because I trust him."

But Lady Jin didn't seem to think so. She pulled Yun Shang into a chair and sat down, "shang'er, you and Prince Jing are newly married. Maybe your relationship is temporary stable, but there is a flaw in a man's heart. Prince Jing is a good man. I hope you can seize him. Don't push him to other women's arms so easily. It's true that he loves you. But when a beautiful woman throws herself on him, very few people will push her away. Because they always think it's normal for them to have several wives. " Lady Jin's face darkened while speaking.

It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that Qin Yi had told her that that His Majesty and her mother grew up together. The late Emperor threatened his majesty to marry Li Yiran, and his majesty obeyed him. After the Emperor took the throne, no one threatened them, but the concubines in the palace never stopped. Qin Yi once said that her mother could stand Li Yiran's existence, because she knew that it was still helpless for her father to marry Li Yiran. But her mother could not accept it. Her father's imperial household was getting prosperous day by day, and his father became more and more like a dissolute emperor, who treated all the ladies pretty well.

She was afraid her action will remind mother of something that happened at that time, and make her recall something. Yun Shang then took Lady Jin's hand and said, "mother, I'm not willing to force anyone to love me. And I don't want to lie to you. Prince Jing is not my love as we think. I don't want to be trapped in love. If his lordship really disappoint me, I would at most ask a piece of paper for a divorce, and I can freely go out alone. Mother, I'm not obsessed with love. If it's mine, I'll cherish it; if it's not mine, I won't force him to love me. Moreover, I can protect myself now and I can live a happy life alone."

On hearing this, Lady Jin fell silent again. After a long time, she said, "mother is overthinking things. I'm not so smart as you on certain things. But I also hope you're happy. As long as you feel happy, then I'm happy."

Yun Shang didn't want to dwell on the matter any more. She remembered what the guard had said earlier that father was also in the palace. She asked as she didn't see him when she came in. "I heard that father was also here, but why haven't I seen him?"

"Your father has something urgent to deal with in the study. Just now, I saw that you were in a tight corner. What happened?" Lady Jin replied.

Yun Shang didn't try to hide it, "yes, Grand Councilor Li indeed betrayed the state, and now he is coming all the way to Laifeng City with the traitors. A few days ago, my father passed a message to Prince Jing that he would return to the palace today. I was afraid that you would run into Li Jingyan, so I rode my horse immediately. Fortunately, you haven't come back."

"I did go back to the palace today, but Chenxi suddenly fell ill and was unable to leave, so I had to stay." As Lady Jin spoke, Chenxi began to cry on the bed, and Lady Jin quickly held him in her arms. Before Yun Shang could walk up to her, Lady Jin stopped her, "if you didn't listen to me and insisted on coming in, I wouldn't be able to save you. But Chenxi, you can't lay your finger on him."

Yun Shang looked at the red Chenxi and found that his face was covered with blisters, which made him look terrifying. She frowned and said, "if Jing Wenxi allowed her to touch things she shouldn't, then all things that she is able to touch in this hall should be changed into new ones." Lady Jin nodded. Just then, Madam Zheng came in with a bowl of medicine. She was surprised to see Yun Shang. "Princess Yun Shang, why are you here? You haven't had any pimples. Don't get infected. Get out of here."

Yun Shang smiled at Madam Zheng, "since I've already come in, it's useless to go out. I won't touch things that my brother has touched." Then she told Madam Zheng what she had thought. Madam Zheng's face darkened as she said, "if so, it's highly possible that what I have done will come out in spring and winter. I feel it unusual to have any pimples in summer, but it's not the first time that I have done so, so I didn't think too much. The youngest Prince is just one month old. He is weak. It's a good chance for him to get sick by those dirty things."

Madam Zheng could not help but get angry as she spoke. "I didn't expect that Jing Wenxi could be so scheming. Lady Jin treated her so well. Since Lady Jin is so close to her, I'll search for something that doesn't belong to the palace right away. If I find the evidence, I won't let her harm others again."

Yun Shang nodded. Madam Zheng was in her mother's service all the time. She was a medical expert, and knew everything in the palace. Lady Jin took over the bowl, carefully held Chenxi in her arms, and fed him little by little. Chenxi behaved herself, and he cried for a while, and took the medicine obediently. Yun Shang thought of her son, Huan'er when she saw his pitiful look. She bowed her head in a hurry to hide the emotion in her eyes.

Madam Zheng searched every corner in the palace, but didn't find anything unusual. She started to check again, and there was still no abnormality. Yun Shang frowned and thought, 'is she really thinking too much?
