Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 749

Noticing Yun Shang's expression, Luo Qingyan gave a glance to the storyteller who was talking excitedly and then turned to Yun Shang, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the storyteller?"

Yun Shang shook her head slowly. She thought for a while and said, "Go with me to see the stone tablet outside the ancestral temple before it gets dark. I'll tell you what happened on the way."

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and stood up with Yun Shang. They walked out and headed for the ancestral temple in the east of the town.

Along the way, they hear many people talking about the person the stone tablet which appeared from nowhere. After Yun Shang's narration, Luo Qingyan asked softly, "You feared that the eldest princess would frame me after you saw the note with the words "Heaven bestows upon Luo the position" in your handwriting imitated by the eldest princess. So you came up with the stone tablet idea to strike Prince Qi and Lady Shu first and instigated the Empress to do it. In this way, even if the eldest princess spreads the words on the note later, His Majesty and others will think it must be that someone copies the method to frame me."

While talking, they arrived at the ancestral temple.

There was indeed a high stone tablet at the entrance of the ancestral temple. The stone tablet was mottled, and the words engraved on it were a little light, as if it had existed for a long time. It had been almost a day since the stone tablet was found, but there were still many curious people around it. The local officials had sent guards to protect the stone tablet from being destroyed.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang in his arms, separated the crowd and walked to the stone tablet. The words on the stone tablet were very big, especially the four words "the mandate of heaven". They were bright red, as if they were stained with blood.

After staring at it for a while, Yun Shang asked a guard beside, "Sir, what are you going to do with the stone tablet?"

The guard felt like to talk with Yun Shang when he saw her slim figure though her face was covered under the curtained hat. He smiled and said, "Our magistrate said it's a once-in-a-century wondrous scene. We must protect the stone tablet well and send it to the Palace for His Majesty to see."

Another man chipped in, "I heard that some senior officials from the Jin City have already come to inquire about this matter. Our Jin'an Town might be famous after this stone tablet is sent to the Jin City. At that time, His Majesty will think that our town has been blessed, and will give us a great reward."

Yun Shang thanked her with a smile and left with Luo Qingyan.

When the two of them walked a little further, Yun Shang smiled and said, "The Empress is really smart that she chose the Jin'an Town. The stone tablet appeared in the Jin'an town, so no one will associate it with the Empress. And I'm afraid that many people in the Jin City will know the news soon as the town is close to the Jin City. Besides, there is a certain distance between the Jin City and the Jin'an town, so even if someone finds the secret about the words on the stone tablet and wants to cover it, it will be too late when they arrive.

After saying that, Yun Shang held Luo Qingyan's hand and said, "Shall we leave tonight? We'd better not get involved into this."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Although the Empress will try her best to spread the news, Lady Shu and Prince Qi may not be affected too much."

Yun Shang was stunned and turned to Luo Qingyan. "Why?"

"Maybe because of His Majesty's Indulgence as you said." Luo Qingyan smiled.

Yun Shang frowned and felt confused, but Luo Qingyan didn't make it clear. He just smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. Today, Let's have a good rest in the inn."

Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang didn't ask any more questions. She nodded gently and followed Luo Qingyan back to the inn.

Yun Shang went to bed as soon as she was back to the Inn. She didn't know that many changes had happened in the Palace in one day.
