Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 690

Yun Shang took it over and looked at the rattle. The rattle was poor, only worth twenty cents. Yun Shang shook the rattle slightly. The sound of beating the drum was very weak in the noisy crowd.

"Okay." Yun Shang smiled and put the rattle into her sleeve carefully.

"Let's go home." Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and went to the their mansion.

Yun Shang finally realized that Luo Qingyan had changed the topic. Yun Shang shook her head and sighed softly. She had already had an answer in her mind.

When she returned to the mansion of ray, Qin Yi was already waiting for her in the courtyard. Yun Shang glanced at Qin Yi and asked softly, "Has grandpa gone to bed?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, walked up to Yun Shang, took off her cloak, and said gently, "He asked me to take some books from your highness's room earlier, read them for a while, and went to bed early." Qin Yi put the cloak aside and hung it up. Then she turned her head and continued, "He has suffered bumps for several days on the road. His Lordship is old now, so he must feel tired. He will recover after two days' rest."

"Okay. I'll make a prescription for grandfather tomorrow. Jin city is not as dry as the State of Ning. The winter here is cold and wet. It might cause sore in body. Warm tonic food will do much help." Yun Shang smiled and turned to look at Luo Qingyan. "You went to the palace with grandfather today. What did His Majesty say?"

Luo Qingyan had already hung his cloak. After hearing Yun Shang's words, he turned around and said with a smile, "His Majesty is very polite to Grand Tutor Xiao. He talked about something about the State of Ning with him and asked his current situation. Then he told him to go back to the mansion for a good rest."

Yun Shang nodded. After a short silence, she asked, "Has the State of Yelang sent anyone here for the coming Wanshou Festival?"

"Yes, and the new Emperor of the State of Yelang will come here in person." Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes, his voice becoming cold.

"Cangjue Qingsu?" There was a hint of surprise in Yun Shang's eyes. How arrogant Qingsu was! He had ordered his subordinates to deliberate provoke on the border, but he had the nerve to come to Jin City to celebrate his Majesty's birthday.

"When will Lord Hua Guo set off?" Yun Shang asked again.

Standing at the desk, Luo Qingyan picked up a book from the bookshelf and answered, "The forces are already gathering and the Ministry of Revenue is still preparing food."

Luo Qingyan paused and continued, "Don't worry. Cangjue Qingsu will not come here."

"He is not coming here? Why? Didn't you just say that he is going to personally celebrate His Majesty's birthday? " Yun Shang's eyes were filled with confusion. She was now confused by Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan nodded. "He did send a letter, saying that he would come to the Jin City to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, but it's definitely just his scheme. His real goal is the frontier. In order not to let us discover that he planned to lead the army to the battlefield in person, he deliberately did so to confuse us."

Yun Shang frowned again at his words, "Do you mean that Qingsu lying about his coming to Jin City to celebrate His Majesty's birthday so as to cover up the truth that he will lead the army to attack the State of Xia?" Yun Shang paused before she continued, "It doesn't make sense. If it's to cover up the truth, why did Qingsu send people to cause attention at the border. But did he alert us in this way? It's totally unnecessary."

Luo Qingyan grinned and crooked at Yun Shang. Yun Shang walked to Luo Qingyan, and he held her hand and let her sit on his lap.

"Yes, it's unnecessary. This trick is called looking one way and rowing another. There was a glimmer of smile in Luo Qingyan's eyes.

Hearing that, Yun Shang kept silent for a while before she said, "You mean that Qingsu's target is not the place where he sent people to bother? Then where is it?"
