Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 242

When arriving at the Imperial City, it was already the beginning of September. As the weather became colder, the chirping of cicadas became less. Yun Shang began to draw on the paper carefully with her pen. After a while, she stopped writing. The paper on the paper was a map of the State of Xia.

When Qian Yin came in with a cup of tea, she frowned at the map drawn by Yun Shang. "Your Highness, why do you draw this map of the State of Xia?"

Yun Shang didn't say a word. She put down the map, picked up her teacup, and went to a bench nearby to sit down. With a touch of sadness in her eyes, she said, "I calculated the days, and Ning Qian should have arrived in the State of Ning, right?"

Qian Yin thought for a while with her head tilted to one side, "She should have arrived at the borderland if it was normal. But it's not safe there. I'm afraid it will take some more time. I'm afraid it'll take a few more days."

Yun Shang nodded.

It had been a few days since they returned to the Imperial City. The tense atmosphere in the Imperial City a month ago seemed to have disappeared. It seemed that everyone had forgotten what had happened at that time, except for the few clans that had disappeared inexplicably. Yun Shang smiled. In fact, most of the time, the most ruthless people were these people. Even if someone else had become the Emperor, they would only be surprised by a few words, and would not have thought of how to live in a short time.

Yun Shang sighed before she looked up at Qian Yin, "In the recent days, ask the servants to buy more food in case of need.

Qian Yin nodded. The servant said outside, "Princess, Lady Shun Qing has come to visit."

It was Lady Shun Qing. Yun Shang stopped and thought, 'what is she doing here? Ning Ye has been a spy in her mansion for years. Do Prince Shun Qing and Lady Shun Qing know about it?'

Yun Shang put the teacup on the table and stood up, "Let's go to the front hall."

Compared with the last time they met, Lady Shun Qing seemed to be older and had much more grey hair. Yun Shang sighed. Indeed many things had happened in Prince Shun Qing's mansion these days. A daughter-in-law had colluded with the Empress and almost killed her. Another daughter-in-law was nowhere to be found. She didn't know why her son turned out to be another person. All of this was like a heavy punch in her heart.

Yun Shang walked into the front hall hesitantly, "Lady Shun Qing..." Yun Shang curtsied to Lady Shun Qing before taking a seat on the main seat. She asked a maid to serve tea and snacks to Lady Shun Qing, and asked with a smile, "Lady Shun Qing, what can I do for you?"

Lady Shun Qing looked at Yun Shang for a while before she said, "I don't want to bother you, but since Prince Jing is not in the Imperial City, I can't do anything about it. I'm here for my son..." She paused and sighed, "Well, he might not be my son."

Yun Shang knew she was talking about Ning Ye.

Lady Shun Qing smiled bitterly, "Well, I have four sons in my life. Ning Ye, the youngest of them, is a stubborn man, so we have worried a lot about him. In the past few years, although he still acted playful, he became more sensible. Before Prince Shun Qing and I could comfort him in time, we finally knew that he was not our son..." Lady Shun Qing said in a shaky voice, "Ning Ye, I didn't know he was not our son."

Yun Shang listened in silence and sighed in her mind, 'What a poor parent.'

After a short pause, Lady Shun Qing began to speak with a trembling voice, "I am here to ask you to send a message to Prince Jing. If he meets... in the battlefield. .. If he meets him... If we can capture him alive, please do your best to do so. Our prince and I just want to ask him where my Ning Ye's bones are."

Yun Shang's hands slightly trembled. After a long while, she said, "Okay."

After Lady Shun Qing left, a servant came to tell her that Lady Jin summoned her.

Yun Shang got changed and went into the palace in light pink. Lady Jin was watching a madam nursing Chenxi with a smile.

"Mother." Yun Shang curtsied to her, and Lady Jin drew her to sit beside her.

"I haven't seen you in the palace these days. What are you doing here?" Lady Jin asked with a smile after the nurse had fed the baby.

Yun Shang shook her head, "No. I'm just reading a book.

Lady Jin glanced at her and said, "I got a news from Prince Jing that he was about to arrive at the house and met an ambush not far away from the house. But Prince Jing had taken precautions, so the ambush wasn't severe."

Yun Shang had her people with Prince Jing, so she knew about it already. She didn't pay much attention and nodded slightly. Seeing Yun Shang's face, Lady Jin handed the baby boy to a babysitter, and asked her to take Chenxi out. She held Yun Shang's hand, and said, "I asked my father in private. He said you had learned a lot from him in the past few years. Father is quite confident with your talent. To be frank, I can't rival three of you."

Yun Shang gave a wee smile, "mother, I'm flattered."
