Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 591

Yun Shang was puzzled at his words and said, "but he just had a third of the token to mobilize the imperial guards. Even if the eldest princess gets it, it's impossible for her to dispatch the guards. What's the use in doing that?"

Luo Qingyan had a sip of soup and smiled, then he said to her, "she has never thought of using the imperial guards. What she wants is just preventing us from using the imperial guards ourselves."

"It was a slip of the tongue. The highness had prepared something for her in advance..." Yun Shang said. Then she paused and raised her head to look at Luo Qingyan. "His Majesty is smart enough to give the token to order the imperial guards to you in advance. How could he be fooled by the eldest princess so easily? We have mentioned the other day that though his majesty seems to be fond of Lady Yun and Princess Qian Ling, he should have been prepared for that a long time ago. Now that the eldest princess planned to use lady Yun and her daughter as bait, how could his majesty not be prepared for that?"

Luo Qingyan, with the bowl in his hand, paused for a moment before he continued, "now no one knows what happened that night, neither did the people in the Yunqi Palace. All the servants were killed by a knife, clean and neat."

Yun Shang bit her lips. She felt that it was unusual that Xia Huanyu would be so careless and fall into the trap of the eldest princess. She thought for a while and said, "may I come to the imperial palace?" Luo Qingyan shook his head. "Not yet. Just stay at our mansion. I'll take you out some time later."

Yun Shang knew Luo Qingyan meant to protect her and was afraid that the eldest princess would take revenge on her. Moved as she was, she smiled and said to him, "Your Highness, do you really think I'm an ordinary woman and you're worried about my safety? Since the eldest princess has taken the emperor, the next step must be to kill you and the seventh prince. I'm the best bait to threaten you. But your highness, since the eldest princess is lost and we can not find her, it would be a good idea to lure her out."

Luo Qingyan just shook his head and said, "there are many ways to lure the eldest princess out. I won't let you risk your life for that."

Hearing that, Yun Shang knew there was no room for negotiation on this matter. She stopped talking about it. When Luo Qingyan put the empty bowl on the table, she said immediately, "Your Highness has been busy all night. Please go and have some rest on the bed."

Luo Qingyan gently put his arm around Yun Shang's shoulder and let out a sigh, "no, I just come back to see you and inform you of my safety. Today I still need to check the inside and outside of the Yunqi Palace carefully. I will enter the palace right now."

Yun Shang didn't expect Luo Qingyan would have to go back to the palace so soon after coming back. Yun Shang was a little surprised, and then she added, "it's cold outside, your highness. Please wear something more thick." After that, Yun Shang walked into the room and found a long robe with cotton in the cupboard. She put the robe on Luo Qingyan and covered him with a overcoat. Then Yun Shang said," I'm afraid your highness is busy today, but you still need to rest from time to time. Take a nap while you have time, I think you should sleep." Luo Qingyan answered yes. Then he told Yun Shang to stay at home and not to worry too much about it, then he went out.
