Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 232

Was the woman his daughter?

Emperor Ning glanced at the woman sitting beside him and didn't ask.

Prince Jing reached the temporary imperial palace at his late hour. Hearing the noise outside, Yun Shang also got up. Emperor Ning and Lady Jin were waiting for her in the hall, so she went to a chair and sat down. But after a long time, Prince Jing still didn't come over.

Yun Shang frowned. Emperor Ning ordered the guards to have a look. A voice came from outside. "Your Highness has sent for a physician, but the physician is at the side yard preparing medicine for the youngest prince. I'm here to ask your majesty."

Hearing this, both Emperor Ning and Yun Shang stood up and asked, "what's wrong? Did Prince Jing get hurt?

A loud voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing wasn't hurt. It's Miss Jing. I don't know what happened. I just saw that Prince Jing took her into the temporary imperial palace. He seemed to have blocked an arrow for the prince and was still in a coma."

Emperor Ning frowned at these words. Before he could answer, a loud bang was heard. Emperor Ning turned and saw the cup that had been placed beside Yun Shang fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.

"Shang'er..." Lady Jin stared at Yun Shang, with a worried look in her eyes. Yun Shang chuckled playfully, "what a scheming girl." Yun Shang took up a brocade handkerchief and wiped the tea on her hands. Then she said quietly, "father, Madam Zheng and I can handle everything here. Since Miss Jing wants a physician, please take all the doctors in the side yard with you."

Lady Jin walked to Yun Shang and sat down, holding her hands, "Shang'er, mother will call Prince Jing here."

Yun Shang shook her head, "it's okay. His highness will be here soon."

As expected, after a while, Prince Jing's greeting was heard. Then the guard said, "Your Highness, the youngest Prince has got a pimple. He can't get in."

Yun Shang asked Madam Zheng to clean the floor. Then Prince Jing said in bewilderment, "I remember my wife never had any pimples on the ground. Why can't I get in, but my wife can?"

"Let his highness come in." Lady Jin sighed and said in a loud voice.

The door was pushed open. Yun Shang saw Prince Jing walk towards them in a dark green robe, which seemed different from the one in the morning. He must have been wearing a new one.

Prince Jing went to the main hall, bowed to Emperor Ning, and sat down next to Yun Shang. He turned to Yun Shang and asked softly, "why did you come in without having any pimple? I was freaked out by the secret guard on our way here."

Yun Shang smiled, "what? With a beauty in his arms, his highness is still curious about what I did?"

"Shang'er." Lady Jin sighed and called her softly with some blame.

Prince Jing seemed to be surprised at her words. Then he smiled, "Your Highness, there seems to be a deep misunderstanding." His voice rose slightly at the end, showing a bit of romantic taste.

But he didn't make any further explanation. He turned to Emperor Ning and said, "Li Jingyan and Xia Houjing just brought about 40000 men here today. I fought with them, but they damaged less than 10000 people and withdrew in a hurry. I suspect that they are just making a gesture to get what they want. I'm afraid that they have other intentions. But it doesn't matter. Our people will be here soon. Now I just need to send someone to keep an eye on them."

Emperor Ning nodded. "But don't let them stall for time. The borderland is not sure to last long. I have sent Qin Jing and Wang Zhaoxi to assist the KY City."

Prince Jing said yes and turned to Yun Shang with a smile. "We should have had a good conversation, brother. But my wife seems to have a fight today. What do you think, brother?"

Yun Shang glared at Prince Jing, stood up and went to the side hall. Emperor Ning and Prince Jing's laughter came from behind. Then Yun Shang heard footsteps, which sounded neither too fast nor too slow.

Yun Shang went back to the side hall and was about to close the door, but Prince Jing stopped her. "Alas, I've been tired the whole day. Why don't you allow me to have a rest? I didn't mean to hurt you."

Yun Shang sneered, "I remember that you brought another princess with you just now. She must be very happy to see you."

Prince Jing stared at Yun Shang with remorse. Just as he was about to say something, Prince Jing laughed. "Are you jealous?"
