Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 807

The seventh prince seemed not to be surprised at Yun Shang's arrival. He looked up at Yun Shang with a smile and pulled the iron chain that tied his hands, splashing water around.

"Are you here to save me, sister-in-law?" The seventh prince asked, all smiles, though he was being imprisoned in the water prison, his hands and feet tied by iron chains, his clothes wet with water. But he still wore a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all.

Hearing this, Yun Shang also smiled slowly, with a bit of interest in her eyes. "You're joking, Your Highness. I'm just a weak woman. I don't know why you are locked here, and I don't know how to save you. Don't make things difficult for me. I'm just here to see how Your Highness are doing..."

The seventh prince nodded with a faint smile, "Of course I'm good. But I'm afraid my legs will broken after being soaked in the water for too long. How about sister-in-law asks them to change a cell for me for the sake of my brother?

Yun Shang smiled more brightly, "How could it be? I heard that Your Highness had escaped, but you deliberately exposed yourself to make yourself back here. Your Highness must like to be locked here, or you wouldn't have done that."

"Yes, I do like here, but the water prison is really not adorable." The seventh prince smiled bitterly. Seeing that Yun Shang didn't want to make a sound, he said to Yun Shang with a smile, "By the way, I heard that Empress Hua has been found. Congratulations to brother. Father is infatuated with Empress Hua. With the presence of Empress Hua, brother will soon ascend the throne."

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Your Highness are right, but I'm wondering if you could witness that day. The water is really cold. I could even feel cold air here. I'm pregnant, so excuse me that I can't stay here chatting with Your Highness.

The seventh prince smiled, "Yes, sister-in-law, you should help brother to protect Empress Hua, as well as the baby in your belly..."

"Thank you for your reminding, Your Highness." Yun Shang smiled, turned around and walked out of the prison slowly. Yun Shang felt as though that someone was staring at her back...

"The seventh prince are really arrogant. Your Highness, let me send some secret guards to teach him a lesson. Let's see how he he will behave after that." Qian Yin snorted with displeasure.

Yun Shang smiled faintly, "There's no need to argue with him."

After returning to the yard, Yun Shang said indifferently, "He's indeed the seventh prince, not a fake one. Besides, he also knows what happened to Empress Hua and that Empress Hua is in Lingxi City now. Then why did he break the prison? During the time he left the prison, he must have done something, not something like delivering news, but something that he had to do in person."

There was no way to know what the seventh prince had done after he left the prison, so there was no way to investigate. Yun Shang thought for a whole night but couldn't figure out the reason, so she had to give up.

Luo Qingyan's army had arrived at Zha'na City, and Lord Hua Guo had brought all his soldiers to the border, waiting for a fierce battle.

Although Yun Shang knew that Luo Qingyan was fully prepared, she was still a little worried. In the battlefield, swords and blades were blind and changeable. No matter how careful the plan was, it couldn't guarantee that everything would be all right.

At the same time, Yun Shang received a message from Qian Yin, saying that Wang Wanzhi told her that His Majesty had agreed to the resignation of Su Qi. It seemed that Su Qi didn't expect this result. He had summoned many officials who were on the same side with him to his mansion for a few days and seemed to have a secret plan.

Rumors were spreading everywhere in Jin City. The rumors that Yun Shang had ordered to spread also caused a great uproar among the people. For a time, the whole Jin City was talking about it. The rumors also spread to the ears of many officials in the court. Many people in the court had always been at odds with the Su clan, so they took this opportunity to report it to the Emperor.

Xia Huanyu had always meant to deprive the Empress of her title. Since he seized this opportunity, he would definitely not let it go. In front of all the officials, he took the Empress to the Taiji Palace and sent for an imperial physician to take the pulse of the Empress. After feeling her pulse, the imperial physician immediately asserted that the Empress was infertile.

Hearing this, Su Ruji almost fainted and kept shouting that it was impossible. She invited many imperial physicians and even physicians from outside the Palace, but the results were the same.

Then, a servant who had served the Empress for many years came out and reported that when the Empress was pregnant with the former crown prince, every time the imperial physician came to take her pulse, she would not allow anyone else to be in her bedchamber, and the imperial physician could only take her pulse through the bed curtain.

Someone else said that in the past more than 20 years, the Empress always asked the same imperial physician to take pulse for her. The physician had a good relationship with the Su mansion and had received the favor of Su Qi.

All the rumors were extremely disadvantageous to the Empress. At this time, Li Qianmo, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, found out that a hunter had seen a group of sneaky people near the cliff where Empress Hua fell. He had heard them mention Lord Su and the assassination. The hunter also handed over a few jade pendants, on which were the private seals of the Su mansion. According to the hunter, he heard from those men in black that they couldn't expose their identities. So they took off their jade pendants and buried them. The hunter secretly dug out all the jade pendants and found that they were of good quality, so he took them for himself. Later, when he wanted to sell it, he found the seals on them. He dared not act rashly, so he just kept them.

For a time, the court was filled with rage. In a fit of anger, Xia Huanyu ordered to deprive the Empress of her royal title.
