Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 692

Yun Shang had to pretend that she didn't hear anything. She blinked with a smile and muttered to herself, 'I haven't seen the bill today. I need to go to read the account book.' Then she made a curtsy to Xiao Yuanshan, "Grandfather, I'm leaving now."

Both Xiao Yuanshan and the butler burst into laughter.

Yun Shang indeed went to read the account book in her room. After having lunch with Xiao Yuanshan, she went back to her room and was about to take a nap, when someone told her that the seventh princess was here.

Yun Shang then remembered that she had asked Qin Yi to send for Hua Yutong at noon.

Yun Shang nodded and asked the servants to take Hua Yutong to her room. As soon as Hua Yutong entered, she smiled and greeted, "What treasure do you want to show me by sending someone to the seventh prince's mansion to invite me here? Shang'er, show me quickly, please."

Yun Shang smiled and looked at Hua Yutong indifferently, "The treasure is not here, but I'd like to talk to you."

Stunned for a while, Hua Yutong sat down next to Yun Shang. With a confused look on her face, she asked, "What's the matter? What happened? "

Yun Shang smiled and looked out of the window. The frost on the bamboo leaves hadn't faded away. She asked softly, "Did you buy two blue sapphire butterfly hairpins in the Qianshui Pavilion the other day?"

Hua Yutong was stunned again. Then she nodded and answered, "Yes, it's been a long time."

Yun Shang didn't expect that Hua Yutong would admit it so quickly. She was absent-minded for a moment, then she said slowly, "Did the seventh prince tell you to buy it? A few days ago, these two hairpins were seen to be on Lady Xian's head in the palace. Have you heard of it? Did you send them to her in the palace in person? "

"Indeed, his highness asked me to buy them, but I don't know why he did so. He only said he had to send a gift to a woman. It's not very convenient for him to buy hairpins, so he sent me to the shop and especially told me to put on a veil. I haven't paid attention to it since I bought them back and gave them to his highness. Perhaps it was his highness who had sent the hairpins to Lady Xian," with a puzzled look on her face, Hua Yutong didn't look at Yun Shang until she replied her questions, "You asked me like this, but what's wrong with the two hairpins? I heard that the other day Lady Xian was sent to the Cold Palace. Does it have anything to do with the hairpins? "

Yun Shang said with a smile, "You're right. It has some connection between them. Lady Xian wanted to frame Lady Hui. Some important evidences were put in those two hairpins on Lady Xian's head. I'm a frequent visitor to the Qianshui Pavilion. When the shopkeeper came here to measure my size and make clothes for me, I inquired her about the matter. She told me yesterday after you left the Qianshui Pavilion. It was you who bought that hairpins. I am afraid that you might get involved in some strives in the palace and be framed, so I called you here in a hurry."

Hearing this, Hua Yutong seemed to be shocked. She quickly took Yun Shang's hand and said, "I really know nothing about it. What should I do? How could his highness treat me like this? "

Yun Shang took her hand and said, "Don't worry. Things are not that bad. Now that Lady Xian has been sent to the Cold Palace, as long as the seventh pince did not mention about you, no one will know. Besides, it was the seventh prince' idea. You have nothing to do with it," after a pause, Yun Shang continued, "but next time you must be on guard against his highness. If he asks you to do something again, you must be careful. Even if you are forced to do it, you can't go there in person. Don't leave any proof to others."

Lydia nodded repeatedly. Her face turned pale. "You know, although the seventh prince and I are a nominal couple, we are actually strangers, not like other couples, who respect each other very much. The seventh prince seldom asked me to help him, so I agreed without hesitation this time. But I didn't expect..." after a pause, Hua Yutong sighed, "I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Shang'er. If the seventh prince has any other requirements in the future, I'll tell you first. Please think about it for me."
