Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 741

Qin Yi was a little surprised. Yun Shang smiled and continued, "Since the accident of Xia Huanyu in Yunqi Palace, entrance to the palace was then forbidden and later the order was withdrew. However, no one was willing to go there as so many people died in the palace. Although Yunqi Palace was Lady Yun's palace at that time, it was far away from Taiji Palace. Now it was very desolate. What's more, Yunqi Palace is the place where Lady Mei was being accused and took into the Cold Palace from, so it has some special meaning to Cai Yi."

"Let's go to Yunqi Palace and save Qian Zhuo." Qin Yi stood up immediately.

Seeing this, Yun Shang held Qin Yi's hand and said, "No hurry. Order some secret guards to see if it was as I expected lest we alert the enemy if I guess wrong. Even if I am right and we find Qian Zhuo, we couldn't prove that it was done by Cai Yi. Besides, since Cai Yi wants to avenge Lady Mei, her goal will definitely not be Qian Zhuo. I'd like to see what Cai Yi wants to do."

Qin Yi looked a little hesitant. Yun Shang said so confidently and Qin Yi always believed in her ability. But after all, they were not in the State of Ning, not even in Prince Rui's mansion. Moreover, both Prince Rui and Qian Zhuo are missing. If something happened, there would be no one who could protect Her Highness.

Looking at Qin Yi's face, Yun Shang knew what she was worried about. With a smile at the corners of her mouth, she took Qin Yi's hand and asked her to sit down next to her. Then Yun Shang said with a smile, "Maybe it's because His Highness has protected me too well in the past two years. So many people have forgotten that I am not a weak person, and I also know martial arts. I was able to fight against the Empress and go to the battlefield in the State of Ning, wasn't I?

Qin Yi was amused by Yun Shang. She sighed and said, "Your Highness, you have always had reliable ideas since you were a child. No matter what decision you make, I will follow you."

"Okay, you've been so nice to me." Yun Shang held Qin Yi's arm and acted like a spoiled child. After a while, she paused and lowered her voice, "Try to send a message to the secret guards out of the Palace. Ask them to guard outside the mansion Prince Qi stays tonight. If there's anything unusual, just take action. And withdraw all our spies outside the Cold Palace."

Seeing the serious look on Yun Shang's face, Qin Yi nodded in a hurry and thought for a while before asking, "Is there anything happened?"

After a moment's silence, Yun Shang leaned against the couch and said softly, "I went to the Cold Palace with the Empress earlier. Judging from Lady Shu's expression when the Empress mentioned Ning Qian's pregnancy, she should have known that. But it seemed that she hadn't known Prince Rui's missing, so she must have been out of touch with the outside world for a few days. We went to visit her today. It's very likely that she will send a message out tonight."

Yun Shang frowned and tapped on the edge of the bed. After Qin Yi said yes, she continued, "Besides, we didn't see Lady Xian when we went to the Cold Palace. Although Lady Shu said that Lady Xian caught a cold and was resting in the room, I intuitively felt that Lady Shu was lying. She has been working for the Empress for so many years and knows the Empress very well. She knows that the Empress has always been loved and spoiled since her childhood as she was the daughter of the Field Marshal and then became the empress in the Palace. She definitely noticed the disgust in the Empress' eyes when she saw the weeds in the yard of the Cold Palace, so she was sure that the Empress wouldn't enter the inner hall to visit Lady Xian.

Qin Yiwas a little surprised, "Your Highness have sent someone to keep an eye on the Cold Palace and Lady Xian doesn't seem to be a kung fu master. If she is missing, the secret guards outside should have noticed it."

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and said indifferently, "I always feel that there must be something wrong with Wu Yan Palace. Recently, I have reinforced the guards around the palace, but Lady Shu can still get the news. I believe in the ability of the secret guards, so I think there must be something wrong inside the palace. The person that Lady Shu cared most was Prince Qi. Now that he was in the Jin City, Lady Shu will have to find a way to visit him. And she must be more eager after the Empress and I visited her today. She should be taking action tonight. Instead of gaining nothing outside the Cold Palace, it was better to stay by the side of Prince Qi and wait. As for Wu Yan Palace, I'll have to find a way to visit the palace in person."

After the two of them talked for a while, Yun Shang felt sleepy and lay down on the couch.

When Cai Yi came back, Yun Shang hadn't woken up. She walked to Qin Yi, looked down at the embroidery in Qin Yi's hands, and smiled, "Qin Yi, what are you embroidering?"

Qin Yi didn't raise her eyebrows and made a gesture of silence. Then she smiled and said in a very low voice, "I don't know whether the baby in your Highness's belly is a boy or a girl, so I'm going to embroider clothes of both styles. And this one is for the little princess."

Cai Yi nodded and looked at the beautiful woman on the couch. After staring at her for a long time, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Qin Yi, it's so lucky for you to be with Her Highness. Her Highness is a little different from what I thought. I heard from other servants that Her Highness is brave even on the battlefield. Before I saw her highness, I thought her highness was very fierce. I didn't expect her to be such a gentle lady."
