Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 356

"This palace is more and more unfriendly for people to stay in." Yun Shang let out a sigh.

Prince Jing put his arm around Yun Shang's shoulders and pulled her closer to him. He said with a smile, "you don't think it's a good idea for people to stay in the palace. Maybe there are many people who are enjoying it very much. For example, Li Yiran had enjoyed the disturbance in the imperial household a lot, hadn't she? Jing Wenxi also tried her everything to came to the palace."

After a short pause, he continued, "you may seem cruel and merciless, but you are still too kind-hearted. In the palace, only the most ferocious people can survive and rise to fame."

Silence reigned again on Yun Shang's words. Yes, only viciousness could survive in the palace. But she didn't want her mother, nor did she want her brother Chenxi to be the victim of the struggle in the palace, nor did she want them to be tortured and lost their original intention.

Then it occurred to Yun Shang that, with the current status of Prince Jing, both of them would be sent to the Imperial Palace sooner or later. She wondered whether the prince would change, and whether she would change.

For the first time in her life, she began to doubt the path she had chosen.

But she couldn't tell this to Prince Jing or anyone else. All she could do was to bury these memories deep in her heart and let them rot.

After returning to the Prince Jing's mansion, Yun Shang ordered Qian Yin to take off the official uniform for her, and took off the heavy hair accessories on her hair. Then she entered the bathroom to freshen up.

Qian Yin asked a maid to bring some hot water for Yun Shang. Then Yun Shang took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. She closed her eyes and soaked herself in the water.

Outside the bathroom, Prince Jing was talking to the Chamberlain. His voice was so soft that Yun Shang couldn't hear what they were talking about. After a short while, Prince Jing left the room with the Chamberlain.

"Has his highness left?" Yun Shang opened her eyes and looked at Qian Yin.

Qian Yin nodded with a look of excitement, "Your Highness, you are so wise. You have guessed that Jing Wenxi was disguised by Princess Hua Jing. No wonder you didn't care when I asked you why Princess Hua Jing didn't come. You knew Princess Hua Jing was here a long time ago."
