Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 709

Yun Shang hadn't recovered from the shock that the woman in front of her was Lady Yun, who had disappeared for a long time, when Lady Yun took back the paper and wrote a few more words on it. Then she held the paper up so that Yun Shang could see clearly. The handwriting of this time was illegible, especially the last two words - Save Qian Ling.

Yun Shang stared at the words for a long time before she slowly raised her head and looked at the woman who claimed to be Lady Yun. Again she raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes met the woman's. Yun Shang didn't dodge, but asked directly "Why?"

Yes, why? The woman seemed to be confused by Yun Shang's question. She was motionless for a long time without even a blink.

Although Yun Shang's smile was still quite cold, she was now a little more relaxed. She ordered Qian Zhuo to fetch a chair, and sat down opposite Lady Yun. Her voice was calm, "I think I know you well, Lady Yun. Maybe it's because I grew up in the palace, I know very well what the women living in the palace are thinking. Therefore, after I arrived at the State of Xia, I kept a distance from the Imperial concubines. Lady Yun, you were one of the few that were intimate to me."

Lady Yun didn't seem to understand why Yun Shang said these words. She just looked at Yun Shang blankly. Yun Shang smiled more brightly and went on, "but Lady Yun, you made me quite disappointed..."

After being silent for a long time, Lady Yun slowly put away the paper and sat on the chair, lowering her eyes.

Yun Shang ordered Qian Zhuo to find the antidote for dumbness as well as the liquid medicine for the facial disguise. Although the woman said she was Lady Yun, Qian Zhuo still did not trust her to stay in the same room with Yun Shang, so she stayed in the room and only gave the orders to the servants.

Lady Yun kept sitting quietly all the time, so Yun Shang didn't speak. About an hour later, the shadow guard found medicine Yun Shang asked for. Qian Zhuo took it over, fed an antidote pill to Lady Yun, then ordered someone to take some water, poured the liquid medicine to remove the disguise into the water, twisted the handkerchief and bit by bit wiped off Lady Yun's disguise on her face.

After a short while, the true appearance of Lady Yun was revealed. Yun Shang looked at her from head to toe. She found she was a little thinner than before. Her eyes looked dark, which showed she must have not slept well for a long time. Her skin looked pale and morbid.

After a long time, lady Yun tried to say something. She said in a hoarse voice, "The Eldest Princess has fed Qian Ling with medicine. So Qian Ling needs to get antidotes from her every month, or else she will die..."

Yun Shang raised an eyebrow and didn't reply. Lady Yun's eyes were red and quivering. There were tears in her eyes. She seemed to be recalling something, "When my father was in trouble, I was the most favored royal concubine and his majesty had shown endless favor to me. But when I knew that my father died, I was terrified. I tossed and turned restlessly the whole night, fearing that his majesty would order to send me into the Cold Palace and deprive me of the title of the Imperial concubine as well as his favor to me. Just as I was filled with fear, the Eldest Princess appeared."

Lady Yun took a glance at Yun Shang, and smiled bitterly. Then she went on, "She said she could help me keep what I had, but I had to do something for her. "The imperial household is by no means a clean place. When I was favored, the other concubines tried every means to get rid of me. I gave birth to a prince, but he disappeared before I could see his appearance. It's just because the poison I got during pregnancy was directly transferred to him."

Tears streamed down Lady Yun's face. She confessed, "I was a murderer myself before, a slut who wanted to get into the emperor's bed shamelessly. As you said, there is no one clean place in the imperial household, so I agreed without asking the Eldest Princess what she wanted me to do.

Indeed, I didn't lose anything in the end. Or at least I thought so at that time. Fortunately, the Eldest Princess never asked me to do anything actually. Later on, when I saw the women in the imperial household kept changing, I gradually understood a lot of things and began to learn to be indifferent and relaxed. I thought the days of my life would pass like this, but I didn't expect that the Eldest Princess suddenly..."
