Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 733

Hearing this, the Empress laughed in delight mixed with a bit of irony. "Lady Rui, you don't have to pretend to be weak and ignorant in front of me. I know you've defeat the army of the State of Xia in the KY city and I actually have carefully studied every battle. You are really capable woman. You don't perform as well as you did in the State of Ning, but that owes to the fact that the State of Xia is not your space. These days, I have been thinking that if I were at your age, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as good as you."

The Empress looked at Yun Shang with burning eyes, but Yun Shang just smiled and said lightly, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

"I gave you those two things in order to make you cooperate with me, and you have no choice but to do so. Because you don't know what's wrong with your mother and you don't dare to risk her life." The Empress looked a little cold, but her eyes lit up.

Yun Shang had to admit that the Empress was right. Although she knew it was most likely that the Empress only ordered people to find some of her mother's belongings to threaten her, she dared not bet.

"Your Majesty, if you have any orders, just tell me. Why did you bother to do this..." A bitter smile emerged on her lips.

"Why did I bother? Lady Rui, you are by no means a simple woman, so I have to be more discreet, or I'm afraid I'll lose all. Lady Rui, I'm here to ask you, are you willing to cooperate with me? Now that Prince Rui is missing, you have no one to rely on anymore. " The Empress looked straight into Yun Shang's eyes. Her voice was soft, but it made Yun Shang breathless. Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and looked at the withered plum blossoms behind the Empress. The petals of the plum blossoms fell to the ground and were stepped into the soil by people coming and going.

"What are you planning, Your Majesty?" Yun Shang said quietly.

The Empress smiled. "I've got the news that the seven prince, Lady Shu, Lady Xian and the eldest princess have joined hands. Both the matter of Prince Rui's mansion and the case of Lady Liu are likely to be done by them. Once they succeed, none of us will have a good end. I need to keep the position as the Empress, and you want to find Prince Rui. Prince Rui and they are sworn enemies, so it's better for us to join hands to defeat them all."

The the Empress looked at Yun Shang with a bit of firmness in her eyes. "What I want from you is your intelligence. And I could offer is my power and the support of the whole Su clan."

Yun Shang pondered for a long time before she replied with a smile. "I don't seem to have any reason to refuse.

Hearing this, the smile on the Empress's face became brighter. "Then I wish we could have smooth cooperation. But I have to remind you that you'd better not play tricks with me. If I find anything wrong with you, I will definitely not show mercy."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and nodded. The Empress smiled again and stood up. "If you could be obedient, I can ensure you that Lady Jin will be fine."

After saying that, the Empress stepped out of the pavilion and went down the rockery with the eight servants outside.

Qian Yin walked to Qian Zhuo and said nothing. She was good at martial art, so she had heard what they said clearly.

With a grin, Yun Shang plucked the strings for a long time. The smile on her face became colder and colder. "One day, she will regret every word she said today." Yun Shang let out a laugh after saying this.

When Qian Zhuo's eyes fell on the Guqin, she exclaimed, "Your Highness, your finger is bleeding."

Yun Shang nodded, took out a rouge red handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped off the blood on her hand, and stood up. "Let's go back to Zhaoxia Palace."

When they arrived, Qin Yi hadn't come back yet, but Qi Ruihai was already waiting for her in the outer hall.

Seeing Yun Shang come back with Qi Ruihai, Qi Ruihai hurried up and bowed to Yun Shang. "Your Highness."

Yun Shang smiled faintly and looked at Qi Ruihai, "Lord Qi, have you made any new progress in the case?"

Qi Ruihai replied in a hurry, "Yes, the result of the corpse examination has come out. It is reported that Lady Liu was drowned to death, but her internal organs were all damaged. She must have been injured by a kung fu master with internal force before being thrown into the Yancui Lake."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Really? How could there be such a master in the Palace? Then why didn't Lord Qi look for the murderer, but came to Zhaoxia Palace instead?"

Qi Ruihai raised his eyes secretly and took a look at Qian Yin, who was standing next to Yun Shang. Then he smiled obsequiously and said, "I came to Zhaoxia Palace just to investigate the case. In addition to the internal injury, I also found a small piece of cloth in her hand. I guess that it might have been torn from the murderer's clothes when she was struggling." A bad premonition flashed through Yun Shang's mind. She heard Qi Ruihai's voice grow louder. "I've shown the piece of cloth to Lady Liu's servants and they all said that it looked like a piece from the clothes of a maid of Your Highness. I heard that Lady Liu had a conflict with the maid yesterday. And I heard from those servants that the maid seemed to know kung fu?"

Yun Shang noticed that Qian Yin's body froze. She sneered, "Oh, it turns out that you are here for my maid?"
