Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 717

Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "After Lady Shu was sent to the Cold Palace, I sent many people to monitor her. I used to find that there was a man in black who came into contact with her, but as he was not weak in Kung Fu, our secret guards weren't able to follow him. I think now that Lady Shu has joined hands with the seventh prince and Lady Xian is also in the Cold Palace, it's normal for them to have news delivered among themselves. Since the seventh prince is determined to go to the frontier, I'd like to stop the person who sent the news, and then replace him with our people."

Luo Qingyan lost in thought while knocking on the chair lightly. After a while, he said, "Try it as you said."

"Then your highness will lend some powerful secret guards to me. I'm afraid that my guards will lose those messengers again. Actually I'm not afraid of losing them. What I'm afraid of most is not only losing the secret messengers, but also alerting the enemy," said Yun Shang smiling at Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. He replied, "That's exactly what you wanted to do when you told me this. All right. It's up to you. The best secret guards in my hands are all by your side."

Yun Shang had supposed to be joking, but she did need one or two secret guards with higher martial arts. Yet she didn't expect Luo Qingyan to answer her like this. Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat as if someone had scratched it. After a while, she said softly, "Okay, I see."

Just as the two of them were talking, Qin Yi came in from outside and reported in a low voice, "Su Qi is here."

Yun Shang was stunned at the news. She stood up and said to Luo Qingyan, "You can go back to bed first." Then she turned to Qin Yi and asked, "What is he doing here? Is he in the garden house? "

Qin Yi shook her head and said, "The housekeeper sent a maid to tell me that he is looking for his lordship. So the housekeeper has taken him to the yard where his lordship lives."

"Grandfather?" Yun Shang frowned and asked, "Why is he looking for Grandfather?" Then she put on her cloak and walked out of the room, heading quickly towards the yard where Xiao Yuanshan lived.

Xiao Yuanshan's house was located in the southeast of the mansion. It was called Shi An Yard.

When Yun Shang came to the door, she faintly heard the laughter from inside, which seemed to be from Su Qi. Yun Shang paused for a while, and walked in with a faint smile on her face.

Su Qi and Xiao Yuanshan sat at a stone table under a banyan tree in the yard. There was a chessboard on the stone table. Both of them were playing chess. The housekeeper and her grandfather's butler stood aside and watched quietly.

Yun Shang heard Su Qi say in a bright voice, "I have no other choice. In fact, I'm not interested in playing chess, either. When I was young, this chess game was the weakest one for me, but his majesty likes it. He would play it with me from time to time. At that time, every time I heard his majesty mention playing chess, I would show fear and trepidation. However, as time goes by, it's getting better and better."
