Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 743

Qin Yi took out the letter and handed it to Yun Shang who then unfolded it and read it. After a moment of silence, she threw the letter into the brazier.

"Is there any news?" Qin Yi asked in a hurry.

Yun Shang seemed to be relieved, but there was also a bit of doubt and shock in her eyes. After a while, she said softly, "It's from Wang Wanzhi. She said that the seventh prince and Su Ruhai had led troops outside the Lingxi City."

Qin Yi was stunned. It seemed that the news had nothing to do with Her Highness.

Yun Shang continued, "Xia Huanyu claimed that he had sent out an army of more than 500, 000 soldiers. But the number of soldiers led by the seventh prince and Su Ruhai was only 150, 000."

"So?" Qin Yi still didn't understand. She looked at Yun Shang blankly.

Yun Shang stared at the flickering fire in the brazier, and there was also a flame dancing in her eyes. After a long time, Yun Shang said softly, "When the two armies are fighting, they tend to overstate the number of their soldiers in order to deter the enemy. But the number being claimed can't be too exaggerated, or it would be dangerous if the spies from the enemy found out the truth."

Yun Shang suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and seemed to be very happy. "Since Xia Huanyu dares to declare that there are 500, 000 soldiers, there should be at least 350, 000 to 400, 000. It's impossible that there were only 150, 000 soldiers. If three 350, 000 soldiers, where were the other 200, 000 soldiers going? And who is leading them? "

The smile on Yun Shang's face suddenly disappeared, which was so fast that Qin Yi was confused.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? " Qin Yi said in a hurry. As soon as she finished speaking, she found that Yun Shang's body trembled slightly and her eyes were red.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! " Qin Yi was also a little flustered.

Yun Shang grabbed Qin Yi's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I see."

"What?" Qin Yi was stunned, her eyes full of confusion.

Yun Shang bit her lips, and suddenly loosened her grip on Qin Yi. "I know who poisoned Lord Hua Guo, who took away Liu Yinfeng, and who killed the people in Prince Rui's mansion and took His Highness away."

Qin Yi didn't expect what Yun Shang figured out was bout these cases. She asked with shock in her eyes, "Who is it?"

Just as Yun Shang opened her mouth and was about to say something, she heard footsteps from the outer hall. Yun Shang was taken aback, and quickly withdrew her hand, pretending that nothing had happened. She leaned against the couch and closed her eyes, slowly calming herself down.

"Your Highness, osmanthus cakes has been sent to Xiangzhu Palace." The voice of Cai Yi was sounded, gentle and respectful.

Yun Shang nodded and said, "Ok, It's good. Is His Majesty in Xiang Zhu Palace?" When Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes, the surging emotions had been covered behind her calm eyes. Cai Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "His Majesty has highly praised osmanthus cake. When His Majesty learnt it was sent by Your Highness, he said that he had eaten the osmanthus cake in Yuman Tower when he was in Yuman Tower. His Majesty and Lady Xiang both enjoyed the osmanthus cakes. Lady Xiang has eaten two, and His majesty has eaten one."

"It's good that His Majesty likes it." Yun Shang looked listless.

Cai Yi looked at the expressions of Yun Shang and Qin Yi. Then she smiled and said, "Your Highness, why do you look listless after returning from Mingcui Palace? What did the maid in the palace see?"

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "The maid said she saw a woman talking with Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu that night. But it was a little dark that she didn't see it clearly. She didn't pay much attention and didn't know what happened next. When she took another glance after a while, she found Xiang Wen and Xiang Fu were not there and Lady Liu followed the woman out of the east side hall."

Cai Yi's hands trembled slightly in the sleeves, and then she quickly asked, "How could it be? Did the maid see the appearance of that woman?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang looked up at her, observing her in secret. After a long time, she said indifferently, "She didn't see it clearly. But the maid said that the woman's figure looked familiar. If she saw her again, she would definitely recognize her. I'll send someone to tell Qi Ruihai later and ask him to lead the maid around the Palace to see if she could find that woman out. There were many servants in the Palace, but if they really made up their minds to look for the woman, they should be able to find her. Since many people in the Palace think I am the chief instigator, I'll ask Qi Ruihai to take the maid here to see if that woman is from my palace and prove my innocence. It's a pity that we haven't found Qian Zhuo yet. Otherwise, we can help her get rid of the injustice."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Cai Yi didn't say anything for a long time. Then she smiled and said, "Right, Your Highness."

Not long after dinner, Yun Shang was about to go to bed. After Qin Yi helped her lie down on the bed, Yun Shang thought for a moment and said to Cai Yi, "Since you are sent here by Lord Liu, and now Qian Zhuo is not here, I will trust you. Tonight, you take care of me in the bedroom."
