Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 595

Yun Shang kept silent for a while, and then handed the two things to Qian Liu, "Put them back under my pillow." Then she turned around and went to the garden house.

Lady Hua Guo looked very anxious. She kept staring at the door of the garden house. The maid served a cup of tea, but she shook her head and said, "Remove it. I am not in the mood for tea now."

Hearing that, Yun Shang paused, took a deep breath, and called gently, "grandmother..."

Lady Guo hurriedly stood up and walked to Yun Shang. She took hold of Yun Shang's hand, and looked her up and down. Then she asked, "Why is your face so pale? Are the rumors true? Did something happen to Qingyan?"

Yun Shang paused for a while and sighed softly. Her face was full of bitterness, and said in a low voice. "Yes. This morning, His Highness came back from the Imperial Palace to take something. After breakfast, he rushed back to the palace. After a short while, a secret guard came back and reported to me that they met many assassins on the way to the palace. His Highness only took two secret guards with him and was took away by the assassins. Seeing this, one of the shadow guards hastily came back to report."

Lady Hua Guo trembled, patted her thigh, and asked anxiously, "how could it happen? How could it happen? "

Yun Shang lowered her head and said nothing, with tears in her eyes. She felt touched that Luo Qingyan had relatives who cared about him so much after he had been alone for such a long time. Lady Hua Guo murmured to herself for many times, "How could this happen?" She suddenly stood up. "I have to go into the Imperial Palace and beg the Empress to send someone to save Qingyan. He is my only grandson. I can't lost him again."

Yun Shang quickly reached out her arm but failed to hold her back. Lady Hua Guo was too fast. Before Yun Shang could say anything, she had already arrived at the gate.

"Nonsense!" A low voice came from outside, followed by a cold snort.

Yun Shang hurried to the door, and saw Lord Hua Guo standing there. He looked at Lady Hua Guo coldly, with his hands clasped behind his back. But there was no anger in his eyes.

Yun Shang looked behind Lord Hua Guo. Liu Yinfeng wasn't there. He must have left.

Lady Hua Guo suddenly stopped when she saw Lord Hua Guo. As if she had recovered from her own thoughts, she said, "Oh, I forgot. The Empress is no longer Ling'er." Then she held Lord Hua Guo's hand and ordered, "Please save Qingyan."

Lord Hua Guo frowned and pulled his wife towards the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. Lady Hua Guo stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but was dragged out by Lord Hua Guo. She asked anxiously, "What are you doing?"

Qian Zhuo intended to hold Lady Hua Guo, but Yun Shang stopped her. After a short while, she said calmly, "Lord Hua Guo won't hurt her."

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo recalled that Lord Hua Guo quickly raised his hand to pull Lady Hua Guo up when she was about to fall. She replied, "Yes." Yun Shang turned around and walked out of the garden house. She saw the butler standing outside the door, frowning. He seemed to be thinking about something. Yun Shang stopped and looked at the butler. "What are you thinking about?"

The butler bowed to Yun Shang as soon as he heard her words. Then he said, "I've noticed that, after the incident happened to His Highness today, the eyes that were kept on staring at him outside the mansion seemed to be much less than before."

"Really?" Yun Shang looked at the butler thoughtfully. "How much is missing?"

The butler hastily answered, "Three or four more people came yesterday after the incident in the Imperial Palace. Since you and His highness were both very busy, I had someone keep an eye on them without reporting to you. Today, after His Highness's missing, at least seven or eight people outside has gone. Now there are only three or four people left."

"Seven or eight people..." Yun Shang pulled her cloak tighter. Her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes flashed a sharp light. As they left as soon as the Prince Rui was captured, they must work for the one who ordered to take away Prince Rui, the Eldest Princess...

The rest were most likely sent by the Empress and the Seventh Prince. Even if the Eldest Princess's spies hadn't all gone, there would only be at most one left among them.

Now that the Emperor was missing and the Imperial Palace was full of trouble, the Empress was busy with her own affairs, so she most likely couldn't take care of Prince Rui's mansion. And the Seventh Prince... The Seventh Prince was probably focusing on how to utilize the opportunity to take the throne.

In this case, there was almost no attention paid to Prince Rui's mansion now. She could easily hide from the rest outside.

Something suddenly flashed in her mind. Her voice trembled with excitement. "I know." Then she hurried to the yard.

As soon as she entered the room, Yun Shang went to the bed and sat down, taking out the imperial guards token under her pillow. She bit her lips and looked at them for a long time before saying, "I finally know."
