Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 332

Emperor Ning remained silent for a while and said, "earlier I heard from grand councilor Jing that there are rumors in the imperial city that Prince Jing is the eldest prince of the state of Xia, and they even made up some unconvincing rumors." Seeing Yun Shang raise her head to look at him, Emperor Ning smiled gently. "But I've made an agreement with the emperor of the state of Xia. In one hundred years, the state of Xia will not send any troops to the state of Ning. I hope it can stabilize the people's morale."

Then he asked, "when did you tell me that Prince Jing is the son of the empress of the state of Xia, you and Prince Jing should have prepared for it. What are you going to do?"

Yun Shang was silent for a moment before she said, "Prince Jing and I haven't known this for long, and father should also know that when I was in Kangyang city, the crown prince of the state of Xia, Xia Houyan, suddenly led four hundred thousand soldiers to surround Jingyang city and almost ruined it. At that time, Prince Jing and I felt that no matter what happened, the crown prince of the state of Xia shouldn't take this step. Lord Guo was in the military camp of the Xia army outside Jingyang city and asked him out, reporting this to him. He said that Xia Houyan had suddenly brought his troops there, and he wanted to escape just because he was afraid that the secret of his royal highness might be exposed and he might not be able to be the crown prince."

"But later in the battle in Jingyang city, his highness was seriously injured and in a coma. When he woke up, I was so worried about him that I never asked what he was thinking about. Till yesterday, the emperor of the state of Xia suddenly mentioned this matter at a banquet, and after we left the palace, we were assassinated. His highness is in a bad mood, and I dare not mention it..."

Emperor Ning pondered for a while and then smiled. "Now that Prince Jing is the prince of the state of Xia, it's natural for him to go with his family." After saying that, Emperor Ning slightly bent down and whispered in Yun Shang's ear, "shang'er, you are father's daughter, and father will certainly not harm you. If Prince Jing recognizes his ancestors to return to the state of Xia, with his ability, he can have the throne of the state of Xia. If he is the emperor of the state of Xia, then you must firmly hold the post of the empress of the state of Xia."

Yun Shang shivered at emperor Ning's words. She looked up at him with a confused look.

Emperor Ning chuckled, stood up, and looked at the patterns of dragon and Phoenix carved on the post aside. "You have always been extremely smart, much smarter than I thought. You know how to endure and hide your sharp edge. The state of Ning and the state of Xia have been fighting for hundreds of years. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in every battle. If you become the empress, you can definitely find a way to persuade Luo Qingyan to agree, and let the two countries coexist peacefully. We have gone for a long time and the people have gone through a lot of hardships..."

Emperor Ning sighed and said slowly, "as an emperor, the only thing I hope for is nothing but peace and happiness of the people. If you agree to this, I will promise you that the next emperor of the state of Ning will definitely be Chenxi."

"Father..." Yun Shang thought it over carefully, but she was a little hesitant. The emperor wanted people to live an easy life and their country to be prosperous. It was true, but many emperors also hoped to rule the world and become the emperor of the world. What scared her was that her father or husband would do something like that.

"It's not clear who his highness is. It's too early to bring this up. Besides, the state of Xia has his crown prince now. I don't know what his highness thinks. I just wish his highness could live a peaceful life. I don't like the disputes and plots in the imperial household... " Yun Shang said with some timidity. She paused and continued, "if his highness really has such a plan, the state of Ning was the place where mother give birth to and support me, but also the place where my father, mother and little brother were. I will surely do my best to ensure the safety of the state of Ning."

Hearing this, Emperor Ning nodded with a smile. "Okay, okay. I'm relieved with Yun Shang's words."

With high spirits, Emperor Ning talked with Yun Shang for a long time before letting her go. Just out of the ginzheng hall, Yun Shang saw madam Zheng standing by her side. Seeing Yun Shang out, she smiled and walked up to her. "Her Highness knew that you are in the palace, so she told me to wait here. When you are out, I will take you to the Jinxiu palace."

Yun Shang put on a sincere smile and said, "Mother is just so considerate. Have you prepared any delicious food?"

Madam Zheng smiled. "But didn't his highness give the princess a meal? You look like a cat who craves for food. Don't worry. I prepared everything you like."

Yun Shang nodded with a smile and went to the Jinxiu palace with madam Zheng.

Chenxi was still crying as if he just woke up. Lady Jin was carrying him in her arms, coaxing him softly. Yun Shang approached her and touched Chenxi's face. "You sister is here. Don't cry..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chenxi stopped crying. Lady Jin and Yun Shang exchanged a glance and smiled. "It seems that your sister is the one to blame. I've coaxed him for a long time, but he still ignores me." Lady Jin handed Chenxi over to a madam, held Yun Shang's hand, and told her, "I saw Prince Jing yesterday at a banquet and he didn't look good, and heard that he was assassinated at night. How is he now?"
