Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 340

Seeing their interactions, Prince Jing curled his lips and said, look at Mr. Liu. I am afraid that he must have fallen in love with my shang'er. What should I do about it? It's a pity that my shang'er has been already married to me. Alas! Having a wife who is so attractive, which is really annoying. If shang'er feels interested and gets too many men to go home as her concubines one day, I'll cry. It seems that I'd better lock you in our house so that you won't be able to see other people."

Yun Shang knew he was only joking. But as he was outside, Prince Jing looked so serious and sstern that Yun Shang felt nervous about his words.

The preparation of the empress ceremony was very smooth, from the release of the imperial edict to its various preparations. Everything was carried out in an orderly way. Soon it was March 1st, and two days later, the big ceremony would be seal. Before the ceremony was made, the emperor and the future empress would need to pray in the palace and cultivate for three days.

Since Qiwu palace was burned to ashes, Emperor Ning ordered his servants to demolish it and rebuild it. But they hadn't started any construction yet. They had another magnificent palace which was hung and put on the name Qiwu palace on it as the empress' palace in the future.

Perhaps it was because of emperor Ning's moves that rumors had been spreading in the palace. It was said that emperor Ning doted on Lady Jin very much, and the new empress was merely a target set up by him to protect Lady Jin. The rumor was spreading steadily and orderly. It was said that there were three evidences for this kidnap. On one hand, lady Jin was the concubine who had been sent to the cold palace before. Since ancient times, no concubine had been sent out again after entering the cold palace. Lady Jin was the only lady who had such a high rank. Second, lady Jin had lived in the Qiwu palace for a period of time. Although she just lived in the side hall, it was the empress' bedroom that had never been shared with others. And what was more, the Qiwu palace was on fire, but emperor Ning just ordered another palace to be cleaned. The Jinxiu palace where lady Jin lived in was the most luxurious palace in the imperial household, both before and now...

The rumor sounded quite convincing, but someone also refuted it. They said if emperor Ning really loved lady Jin, why didn't he make her the new empress after their son Chenxi was born? Moreover, if she was the empress and the emperor doted on her, who would dare to hurt her?

But these words sounded feeble, and they were refuted by the words, "the empress has always been the place which the young women of the imperial household fight for. Emperor Ning really loves lady Jin, and he doesn't have the heart to make her the target of public."

Qian Yin said in an aggrieved voice, "Your Highness, I'm sure Qin Meng is the root cause of the gossips which are extremely disadvantageous to you. If it weren't for you, Qin Meng would never have a chance to ascend to her high position now. Your highness, when she broke her legs by Prince Jing, you should not have sent Qin Meng with great tendons. The bone reinforcing drug had healed her legs, so her legs were fine except for the pain in rainy days. But she was so ungrateful. The rumor about lady Jin must have hurt Lady Jin. We can't let her go."

Yun Shang looked at Qian Yin's indignant face and smiled. This little girl was still so grumpy.

"As you said before. Qin Meng had never been out of the palace nor seen anyone else, but she had a lot of jewelry outside the palace. Obviously, someone was bribing her. I'm afraid someone else had told her to do it. I surely will take care of Qin Meng, but it's a piece of cake for me to deal with him. Before we take actions against her, we need to find out the person behind her who did this. I'd like to see who is so bold to make trouble with my lady mother. " Yun Shang smiled and said.

Qian Yin nodded, "all right. I'll wait a little longer. Anyway, now the secret guard has found out that the maid named Qi'er around Qin Meng was behind it. At the monthly visit by the maid, she contacted with people outside the palace and sent something to Qin Meng. Since we have already caught her, we will track down the person behind this very soon."

Yun Shang nodded slightly with a smile, "it's going to be done soon. The grand preceptor is going to seal the marriage in two days. I'm afraid that someone in the imperial palace will do something against my mother during that time."

Qian Yin smiled and said, "his highness said earlier that he had found out someone searching for Princess Hua Jing. Tomorrow morning he will get the detailed news. If she wants to plot against the princess, she should weigh her own weight. After all, Prince Jing is protecting Princess Yun Shang now."

Yun Shang took a glance at Qian Yin and asked her to leave, feeling amused.

She saw the white fungus soup on the table and remembered that Prince Jing was called to the study by the housekeeper when he had dinner at night. She didn't know when he would come back.

While she was thinking, the door was pushed open, and Prince Jing appeared in front of Yun Shang, followed by a secret guard. While walking, he said, "there's an accident in the palace. It's said that someone had put chopped meat in Lady Ya's meal...
