Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 693

Since Wang Congwen had some contact with the seventh prince, then Lady Xian was not likely to be set up by the seventh prince. In fact, they had a collusion. However, with the wisdom of the seventh prince, it was impossible for Yun Shang to see through their plot so easily. Yun Shang thought carefully about what happened that day and realized that everything seemed to be planned, and the hairpins seemed to be a flaw they had deliberately left to her.

But Yun Shang didn't know why they deliberately left such a flaw behind?

Yun Shang was silent all the time. Qian Liu was at a loss what to do. She asked in a low voice, "Your ladyship, is it necessary to give Wang Congwen some warning?"

Yun Shang came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "It's not necessary. You just need to speed up, check the financial accounts, and transfer the money that we deserve to our account, so that we can be assured."

Qian Liu replied in a low voice.

After Qian Liu left, Yun Shang was again in a daze. The seventh prince had been really busy recently. Quite a few people and things were related to him - from the frontier general Feng Ming, to Lady Xian, to Wang Congwen, and to yesterday's rescue of the emperor. It seemed as if everything was knitted into a net. But Yun Shang didn't know what the net looked like or what its purpose was. Yun Shang even felt that Cangjue Qingsu's harassment tactics at the border were instructed by the seventh prince. Yun Shang would not forget that Cangjue Qingsu had cooperated with the seventh prince before. In their cooperation, the Crown Prince of the State of Yelang and the Crown Prince of the State of Xia both died in that battle.

If what Cangjue Qingsu had done at the border was colluded with the seventh prince, then their purpose was not hard to guess. It was actually a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain. As the State of Xia advocated culture, there were not many military generals available. At present, Cangjue Qingsu came to power and he was well known for being cruel and ruthless. Thus Xia Huanyu would definitely send somebody who was able to fight against this opponent, Cangjue Qingsu. Now, among all the military generals available in the state, except Lord Hua Guo, there was only Luo Qingyan.

But whether it was Lord Hua Guo or Luo Qingyan, as long as one of them went out of the Jin City, it would be a great opportunity for the seventh prince.

But what did he want after his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain succeeded? What did Feng Ming conspire with the seventh prince after he sneaked into Jin City? What kind of agreement did Lady Xian, Wang Congwen make with the seventh prince?

Everything was like a mystery to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Luo Qingyan coming in. Luo Qingyan frowned at the lost look on Yun Shang's face. He walked to her, sat down, and patted her on the shoulder.

Yun Shang almost jumped up. When she saw clearly who the man was, she patted her chest and complained in a hurry, "You scared me to death." Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "I have come in and stared at you for a while, but you didn't notice it. What are you thinking?"

Yun Shang thought for a while and told everything to Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan listened quietly for a long time and inferred, "Is the seventh prince trying to seize the throne during Wanshou Festival?"

Yun Shang was surprised at the deduction, and thought it was highly possible. Yun Shang hurriedly grabbed Luo Qingyan's hand and asked, "Is there any news about the assassination yesterday?"

The corners of Luo Qingyan's mouth lifted into an unfathomable smile. "I don't know if this is a progress about the incident, because his majesty doesn't allow me to participate in the investigation. It's just that today his majesty claims that the seventh prince is in poor health and must stay at home to recuperate from his illness recently. There's no need for him to go to the court."

Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang knew that the assassin was sent by the seventh prince. It was just that the seventh prince didn't really mean to hurt Xia Huanyu, and he knew that it was impossible. Xia Huanyu should not be all unprepared as he was out of the palace. He probably only intended to ask for a reward for the reputation of rescuing the emperor.

Yun Shang smiled, "The seventh prince went for wool but came home shorn."
