Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 764

After guessing the secret of Lady Shu, Yun Shang also received a message from Ning Qian, knowing that Ning Qian had received the eldest princess' instructions from Lady Shu.

At first, Yun Shang didn't understand why the eldest princess asked Ning Qian to frame the Empress with her unborn child. After thinking for a long time, she figured out that it was the eldest princess' trick of killing two birds with one stone. Although the Empress was grounded by Xia Huanyu, she could still turn over in a short time. And at that time, the person in charge of the Empress' seal was Ning Qian.

Although it was the eldest princess who recommended Ning Qian to the Palace, she didn't completely trust her. As long as Ning Qian did as the eldest princess asked, no matter what the result was, the Empress would definitely be involved in the crime of murder a royal children. Even if the Empress had the support of the Su clan, it was still difficult for her to turn over in the short term. Moreover, if Ning Qian had a miscarriage, she would have to recuperate. In this way, Lady Shu would be in charge of the imperial household.

The eldest princess wanted to seize the opportunity to usurp the throne when the seventh prince and Jin City were not in Jin City. She was not afraid that Lady Shu would disobey her as she had Prince Qi, who had poisoned by her, as a bargaining chip.

The message the eldest princess was brought into the Palace by Lady Shu, so Xia Huanyu must have guessed the eldest princess' plan. The only thing Xia Huanyu didn't expect was that Ning Qian had found out that she hadn't been pregnant at all, and that she had even question Xia Huanyu about this in public. Xia Huanyu had already arranged everything, waiting for the eldest princess to take the bait. He would definitely not allow such a thing to happen at this time, so he simply grounded Ning Qian in Xiangzhu Palace. Fearing that there would be spies of the eldest princess in Xiangzhu Palace, he also ordered all the servants leave Xiangzhu Palace to prevent the news from leaking out.

Yun Shang couldn't help but marvel at Xia Huanyu's thoughtfulness.

When did this plan begin? Since Lady Shu was sent to the Cold Palace? All these things, including the war with the State of Yelang, the expedition of the seventh prince, and Ning Qian's fake pregnancy, seemed to be within the plan.

However, the only thing that Yun Shang didn't understand was whether the purpose of the series of actions was to target at the eldest princess alone or to plot against both the eldest princess and the seventh prince.

It should be the former. If the matter went on like this, the seven princes would soon know that Lady Shu was a secret guard of Xia Huanyu. She didn't know if the seventh prince had told any secret to Lady Shu, but since the seventh prince knew about it, he would definitely take some action. Fortunately, the seventh prince were far away in Lingxi City, and couldn't respond in time.

Yun Shang thought that it seemed she had to remeasure Xia Huanyu.

"Please tell me what I'm going to do next, master." Ning Qian just said lightly without asking what Yun Shang was thinking just now and what the secret of Lady Shu was.

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled. She was smart and had never made any mistake in her task. Moreover, she knew how to behave and never asked about anything that she was not supposed to ask. That was what Yun Shang liked most about her.

Yun Shang thought for a long time and said with a smile, "Cangnan, go to Cangnan on my behalf."

Ning Qian quickly received the order, and then asked, "what do I need to do after arriving in Cangnan?"

The smile at the corners of Yun Shang's mouth became more obvious. "Go to find Wang Jinhuan when you arrive. His Highness had arranged him to lurk in Cangnan city to search for spies of the State of Yelang and secretly investigate the movements of the State of Yelang. You could help him as you are good at collecting information, ignoring that Wang Jinhuan always indulging himself in pleasure when he was in the State of Ning.

Ning Qian answered without any doubt.

Yun Shang smiled and ordered the butler to find a yard for Ning Qian to rest before she set out.

After Ning Qian left, Qin Yi smiled slowly. "Your Highness, you want to fix Ning Qian and Mr. Wang up?"

"You are smart." Yun Shang also smiled, with a bit of contemplation in her eyes. "Wang Jinhuan looks playful and unreliable, but he has a deep love for Ning Qian. I saved Ning Qian when I was a child. She has always been my capable assistant and loyal to me. The tasks I gave her have always been the most difficult ones, but she has never complained. It must've been a hard time for her to carry out tasks in the brothels and in the Palace these years.

Yun Shang sighed, "But she is the only one I could entrust these tasks to. That's why I really hope that she could have a good husband and settle down. Otherwise, I will definitely feel sorry for her even if she doesn't blame me." "Your Highness, you are so kind. I believe that Ning Qian will have a good man to accompany her." Qin Yi comforted her softly.

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "I hope so. That's all I can do. Next, it depends on that whether Wang Jinhuan could seize this opportunity and try his best to win her heart."

I think we will have some peaceful days since the eldest princess has been caught. At least, there would be a short period of peace before the seventh prince received the news and began to plan.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang raised her head and said, "Tell the butler to prepare some gifts. I will pay a visit to Lord Hua Guo's mansion tomorrow. I haven't seen Lady Hua Guo for a long time."

After Qin Yi replied, Yun Shang continued, "Send someone to call Qian Liu and Qian Yin back to the mansion."
