Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 412

Li Jingyan remained silent for a while after hearing Emperor Ning's words. Then he burst into laughter and said, "She is dead? I don't care. It's good for her to be dead. She is good for nothing after all. I don't want her to live a miserable life." Then he turned to look at Emperor Ning and snorted coldly, "don't try to get any information from me. I won't say a word even if I have to die."

Yun Shang chuckled and said, "you have been faking in the state of Ning for so many years. You must be very loyal to the state of Xia? You made the prince of the State of Xia in prison. What will Xia Huanyu think of you if he knows this?"

But Li Jingyan remained unmoved, "so what? You little girl knew nothing. Though I have waited in the state of Ning for decades. No matter who I met and what I do, I have a clear conscience."

"Yeah, you are warm and nice to everyone. But I wonder if you could say these words to your family. In order to reach your goal, you have to send your daughter to the imperial palace to compete for love. You also need to make a decision in the life of your grandchildren. You want to woo Zhao Yingjie, a general, from Ning Hua Jing's marriage, so it ended like that. You want to draw him over to your side. That's why you ended up like that. After you rebelled, you took away some of the Li clan members, leaving behind some of its branches. The others were all killed because of you. And the ones you took with you was now on the way to the imperial city. You have a clear conscience you say? How about letting someone send a person of your clan in everyday so that they can carry out a sentence in front of you? " Yun Shang's lips curled into a cruel smile.

Grand councilor Li's eyes were wide open and he seemed to be on the verge of bursting into pieces. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "well, I didn't expect that the poor scholars from Xiao Yuanshan taught their daughter to be cowardly, while his granddaughter is cruel. But, you are just a little girl. You used to call me Grandpa. I'm not afraid of you. But I'm still more experienced than you, and I can manage it. If you want to try it, I'll play with you."

Yun Shang knew that Li Jingyan wouldn't tell her anything more when he was like this. She frowned and stood aside. Emperor Ning glanced at Li Jingyan, and then glanced at the seventh Prince of the state of Xia. Then he said softly, "let's go."

As the two went out of the secret chamber, Emperor Ning noticed Yun Shang's displeasure. He smiled softly and said, "I found that after you and Prince Jing got married, you have become much more cold and cruel than before like him."

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said gently to him, "father, you are wrong. I am not a good person from the beginning." How could a woman, who had always been filled with hatred, be kind? She had lost her kindness since the day she woke up at the age of eight in this life.

Emperor Ning was also stunned by her words. He smiled faintly and did not respond to her. After they walked out for a while, Emperor Ning stopped and asked, "what's your opinion on Hua Jing's matter?"

"Sister's letter shows that cangjue Qingsu and Li Jingyan have allied themselves to kill Cangjue Kangning. Since Li Jingyan and the seventh prince are both stubborn, it will be hard for them to change their mind and give us information. I thought it would be better to ask the head of court of justice for the maid of Hua Jing. She just told us a general idea, and we can interrogate her in detail."

Emperor Ning nodded his head. Then he asked, "you really don't want to investigate the case?"

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. "Father, there are so many officials in the court. If I take all the job, they will have nothing to do, won't they? You can't spoil them like this, father."

Emperor Ning didn't say anything more. He turned and left Prince Jing's mansion with his eunuch. Yun Shang smiled, and went back to the room. Prince Jing was lying on the bed for a rest, as if in sound sleep. Yun Shang quietly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. She stared at Prince Jing for a long time. It seemed that she seldom saw him sleeping like this. Usually, Prince Jing went to bed later than Yun Shang, and Yun Shang liked to get up late. When she woke up, Prince Jing had already got up. It turned out that Prince Jing was not as indifferent as usual when he was asleep. His long eyelashes left a shadow under his eyes, and he looked a little tired.

After a while, Yun Shang felt sleepy as well, so she lay down on the edge of the bed and fell asleep too. After a while, Yun Shang felt as if someone was gently stroking her hair, which made her feel a little annoyed. So she opened her eyes with a whine and raised her head. She saw Prince Jing looking at her playfully.

"Why did you fall asleep with your head on the edge of a bed?" Prince Jing smiled, and his smiling face amazed Yun Shang.

"Are you still asleep yet?" Prince Jing patted her on the forehead and said with a smile.

Yun Shang blushed a little. She lowered her head and said, "No. I just came back and saw you sleeping well here. I felt sleepy as well, so I lay down beside you and fell asleep for a while." "Yes, I see." Smiling, Prince Jing raised his hand to touch Yun Shang's face. "How is it?"
