Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 623

Yun Shang had already known that Luo Qingyan would ask about it if he had known the truth. So she had made a detailed statement. "It was very important to get rid of the hidden army of the Eldest Princess. But the palace guards were only familiar with the terrain of the Jin City. I was afraid that there would be some troubles, so I decided to go with them. I had been ready for it before we set out. We didn't hurry on with the journey. Besides, I know some medical skills. It's nothing serious."

Luo Qingyan sighed, "I know you were doing this for me. But don't do this again. No matter what happens, you can't ignore your own health."

Yun Shang didn't expect Luo Qingyan could forgive her so easily. She nodded and agreed.

Xia Huanyu had not gone to the court for several consecutive days. Luo Qingyan had gone to the Imperial Palace once. When he came back, he had a worried look on his face and only said that Xia Qingyan intended to take this opportunity to clean up the court. After that, Luo Qingyan stayed in the mansion, accompanying Yun Shang.

Yun Shang didn't bother to ask more. Besides, part of the guards in the Imperial Palace had been withdrawn, so Yun Shang could get news of the Imperial Palace. That day, Ning Qian sent a message saying that Luo Qingyan and Xia Huanyu had a big fight. The servants said they seemed to keep mentioning Lady Rui in their conversation.

Yun Shang had been guessing for a long time, but she couldn't figure out why they quarreled. She didn't ask Luo Qingyan about it.

It was not until the sixth day that Xia Huanyu issued a decree to resume the morning court.

On the first day when the morning court was restored, several imperial edicts were issued. A number of officials in the court were punished and Liu Jin was sentenced to death on a treacherous crime. Many officials, whom Yun Shang had never heard of, were also affected. Some of them had been downgraded, and some had been killed.

However, these officials who had been punished were mostly those who the secret guards had reported to Yun Shang that they had unusual behaviors during the period when Xia Huanyu was missing.

It was easy to see that Xia Huanyu was well prepared as he took action so fast.

Well prepared... The corners of Yun Shang's mouth curled into a smile. She was afraid that the whole disappearance thing was under the control of himself.

Old fox. Yun Shang thought to herself, 'Poor me. I have also fooled by him.'

Two days later, it was the wedding day of the seventh prince. Yun Shang had been grounded again by Luo Qingyan, and she hadn't been out of the mansion for a long time. Taking advantage of the wedding of the seventh prince, she went to celebrate them with Luo Qingyan in a carriage.

Yun Shang was a little curious. Liu Jin was about to be beheaded, then there would be no Liu clan. In that case, could it be possible for Liu Chuchu to marry into the seventh prince's mansion?

Yun Shang asked Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "why couldn't? Although Liu Chuchu doesn't have a noble identity now, she is the most talented lady in Jin City and she will marry the seventh princess just as a concubine. She entered the Mansion of the Liu clan. No one knows what would happen then."

Yun Shang was surprised at his words. Then she recalled that although the seventh prince looked gentle, he was a merciless and cruel man. Since Liu Chuchu was of no use to him now, she might be hurt by him.

But it was a pity that Hua Yutong, a straightforward lady, was doomed not to be happy in this marriage.

This wedding was a grand one. Although the seventh prince was sick, he gained a good reputation among the commoners. Even in the coldest winter, Yun Shang met many onlookers on the way from Prince Rui's mansion to the seventh Prince's mansion.

The seventh prince was marrying his wife and concubine on the same day. The wedding was so grand that the whole city seemed to have been covered with a red.

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan entered the mansion together. The seventh prince had already gone out to greet the guests, and the housekeeper was busy serving the guests. When the housekeeper saw Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan, he hurriedly ordered the servants to lead them to a garden especially for distinguished guests.

There were only people from Lord Hua Guo's mansion and the Su clan in the yard, as well as several princesses and their husbands. These married princesses lived in their own palaces. Yun Shang was not familiar with them at all. They came over, curtsied to Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, and sat back.

Lord Hua Guo and Lady Hua Guo also came. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan went to greet them, and then sat beside them, chatting. Su Qi and his wife had been sitting there. Lady Su seemed not to be an easygoing person. She held a string of Buddha beads in her hand and kept silent all the time.

Yun Shang glanced around the garden and found that no one from the Imperial Palace had come yet. Normally, the prince's mother would attend his wedding ceremony even Xia Huanyu didn't show up. But since the seventh princess didn't have mother, Yun Shang didn't know who would come.

About half an hour later, Yun Shang saw the empress enter the yard with her maids and directly walked into a room.

Yun Shang tugged at Luo Qingyan's sleeve and pointed at the empress who passed through the yard. Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment, and then pulled Yun Shang up and head towards the room.

The other princesses also saw and they and their husbands followed Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang.

Since the empress came. They, as princes and princesses, should pay respects to her.

There were maids guarding at the door of the empress's room. When they saw Luo Qingyan and the others, they entered the room to report and then led them in.

"Your Majesty." The people went to the empress and curtsied.

"Get up. Today is the seventh prince's big day. No need to be restrained." The empress said lightly, and everyone got up.

The empress's gaze swept across the crowd before setting her eyes on Yun Shang. She smiled, "You look much better. Is the baby fine these days?" Yun Shang said: "Thanks for your concern. Everything is fine."
