Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 251

Just then, a maid came in a hurry, bowed to Qi Yufeng and said, "Master, Qian Yin, Princess Yun Shang's mais, is here to visit you."

Upon hearing that, Qi Yufeng looked forward to seeing the girl. With his eyes fixated on the door, he was focused regardless of the presence of the other people present. When the others heard that the princess had sent someone, they looked at the door curiously. Although they couldn't see the princess, it was not bad to see her maid. The princess was the canary in the Imperial City. They are guarding here and wouldn't see the real princess for the rest of their lives.

Qian Yin, dressed in cyan, walked in, feeling somewhat uneasy under people's gaze, but she showed no discomfort on her face. Her eyes swept across the crowd, and then she bowed and said, "Nice to see you, Mr. Qi. The princess sent me to bring you some tonics to thank you for your help yesterday." Then she waved to those women behind her.

Eight maids followed her, with a plate in their hands. There were a wide variety of things in the plates, including some precious supplements like ginseng. Some of the plates contained rare treasures.

Qi Yufeng glanced over the plates, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. "I'm her Highness's subordinate. It's my duty to protect her. I don't deserve them."

A strong man beside him became a little angry. "Our captain got hurt because of that princess. And you just compensated him with these lousy tonics?" Qian Yin smiled, not angry at the man's vulgar words, but only said gently, "general, don't worry. The princess has told his majesty what happened yesterday. His majesty likes her very much, and he will definitely remember to reward Mr.Qi. Besides, the princess has also written to Prince Jing. Prince Jing will be very grateful to you too, Mr. Qi."

Suddenly, another man said, "Oh, I almost forget that Princess Hui Guo has been married. Now that she's married, how can she stay alone with our captain in the middle of the night? Is she not reconciled to loneliness?

Qian Yin's eyes flashed with pride. She didn't expect that her master could predict things like that and knew someone would use such a problem to embarrass her. Fortunately, her master had taught her how to deal with it.

"I have always been with her highness. She was not alone with Mr.Qi. And she just met Mr. Qi on the way. However, no one will believe me. Your highness said that if Mr.Qi insists on threatening her with saving her life, she won't mind. You just need to tell the princess and she will personally give you the honor to be her man, Mr. Qi."

Qian Yin looked calm and smiled peacefully. But for the other people in the room, the look on their faces was getting darker, and among them, Qi Yufeng was the most unhappy.

"Bah! Who the hell is she? Our captain is young and promising, and he is the son of General Qi Lang. How can he be a concubine to a woman? Damn it!"

"This princess is too arrogant. Our captain shouldn't have saved her. She should have been killed by the assassin."

Qian Yin kept smiling. "Your Highness is the Emperor's favorite daughter. It will be easy for a captain or even General Qi Lang to be her concubine. But General Qi Lang is old and looks a little..."

Qian Yin stopped, frowned, and then smiled. "I'm afraid that her highness doesn't like him, either."

Qian Yin murmured to herself, "Didn't you wait for your highness in the midnight because you were obsessed with her beauty, Mr. Qi? That place was only led to the Chrysanthemum Yard where only my master lived. If not waiting for her highness, why were you there last night? Moreover, everyone at the banquet yesterday saw that I'm not inferior to any other man. Even the master can't compare with me. With me, how can the assassins hurt the princess? I saw it with my own eyes. Mr. Qi bumped into the point of the blade himself."

Then she looked up at Qi Yufeng and continued, "But don't worry, captain. The princess has been under the Emperor's shadow guards' protection. They will find out who has hurt you soon."

Hearing what he said, many people in the room changed their faces. Even though they stayed at the border all the year round, they knew that the secret guards were secretly found by the late Emperor and it was designed to protect the Emperor. Every one of the shadow guards was excellent in all aspects. They didn't expect that the Emperor would send the secret guards to protect Yun Shang.

On the bed, Qi Yufeng's face turned pale.

He had always thought highly of himself as a smart man. Even his father often praised him. However, it was out of his expectation that he underestimated the frail pretty woman. He admitted that the chaos was a result of his father's recent quarrel with Yun Shang. He took his own orders to solve the problem. At the thought of that beautiful lady, he had a little selfish motives. He had thought that it would be worth it if he could play a trick to win the girl's attention. But he didn't expect her to be so smart that her slap threw him into the endless abyss.

He had forgotten that she was in such a high status.
