Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 763

Xia Huanyu stared at Yun Shang for a long time and said indifferently, "Since you've returned to Jin City, where are you going to live? I've asked someone to clean up Prince Rui's mansion, but I'm afraid that you can't live in the yard you used to live in anymore. And the Zhaoxia Palace is still available. You could go there if you don't want to live in Prince Rui's mansion."

Without hesitation, Yun Shang smiled and said, "I'll go back to Prince Rui's mansion. I haven't been back for a long time." After a pause, Yun Shang rolled her eyes and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request. Please agree."

"You have made a great contribution this time. Just tell me what you want." Xia Huanyu said in a calm voice, fiddling with the jade ring on his thumb.

Yun Shang lifted her mouth into a brief smile. "Now that the eldest princess has been caught. Although Lady Xiang was recommended to the Palace by her, she has never done anything to help the devil. I want to take her out of the Palace."

Xia Huanyu's hand, which was caressing the jade ring, paused for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter why she came to the Palace, she is already my concubine. How can I let her go? There has never been a case of letting a concubine out of the palace since ancient times."

"Your Majesty has just said that I have made great contributions and can ask for anything I want. An emperor could not go back on his words. Besides, His Majesty only said that there has been no precedent to let a concubine out of the Palace. But it doesn't matter if a maid is missing in the Palace." Yun Shang knelt down and bowed to Xia Huanyu.

A hint of doubt flashed through Xia Huanyu's eyes. "Are you asking for Lady Xiang who is locked up in Xiangzhu Palace now?"

Yun Shang was shocked. Why did Xia Huanyu ask this question? Did he already know that the lady in Xiangzhu Palace was no longer Ning Qian? It couldn't be. If he had known it, how could there be no movement in the Palace?

Yun Shang thought for a long time and finally didn't dare to take the risk. She smiled and said, "There is only one Lady Xiang in the Palace. If you let go the one in Xiangzhu Palace, of course there will be no Lady Xiang in the Palace."

Looking at Yun Shang, Xia Huanyu said coldly, "I know. You must be tired these days. Go back and have a rest."

Yun Shang curtsied to him and exited.

Before Yun Shang left the palace, the news of the eldest princess' rebellion had been known to all in Jin City. As soon as she walked out of Taiji Palace, Yun Shang saw a servant in cyan standing aside. Seeing Yun Shang come out, she immediately walked up to her and said, "Your Highness, I'm a maid from Shuya Palace. Lady Shu sent me to invite you to her palace."

Lady Shu...

Yun Shang turned to look at the maid and nodded slightly. "Okay, let's go."

When they arrived at Shuya Palace, Lady Shu hadn't taken off the ceremonial garment. Perhaps it was because too many things had happened today, she looked a little tired.

Yun Shang went up and curtsied torwards her. Lady Shu smiled and said, "You don't need to curtsy since you're pregnant."

Then she helped Yun Shang up and ordered servants to prepare tea cakes for her. "I thought you've gone to Cangnan with Prince Rui. I didn't expect that you didn't."

Yun Shang got to know clearly that Lady Shu was just a secret guard of Xia Huanyu and was not a threat to her at all after she heard what Xia Huanyu had said to the eldest princess. It was a little embarrassing for her to sit together and talk with Lady Shu as she had treated her as an enemy for a long time.

"I'd set out for Cangnan, but I came back halfway. It was just an impulse to go to the frontier with Prince Rui. There are so many messy things for me to deal with in Jin City. How could I leave?" Yun Shang smiled and said gently.

Hearing this, Lady Shu also smiled, "You are right. Thanks to Lady Rui this time, otherwise it would be difficult for us to catch the eldest princess. I was really shocked when I saw her pretend as a monk. As a woman, she can even ignore her appearance. It's admirable."

Hearing this, Yun Shang nodded and said, "Before, she pretended to be a beggar and stayed at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion for half a month in the wind and rain. Later, she worked as an accountant in a small mansion. The eldest princess has always been cruel to herself."

The two of them laughed. Lady Shu glanced at Yun Shang and said with a smile, "I had no choice but to fight against Your Highness before. Actually I like your personality and wisdom very much. You are welcomed to Shuya Palace at any time if you love to."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course."

After the two chatted for a while, Yun Shang stood up and said goodbye. After leaving Shuya Palace, she went to Zhaoxia Palace for Qin Yi who then left the Palace with her.
