Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 814

There was a touch of confusion in the eyes of Empress Hua. She was stunned at the appearance of the group with still some mud stains on their clothes. After a while, she asked softly, "What's wrong?"

However, Xia Huanyu had already walked in front of Empress Hua. Without answering her question, he just stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly.

Yun Shang saw that the body of Empress Hua stiffened for a moment, and her eyes flashed. In the end, she did not push Xia Huanyu away.

A hint of ecstasy flashed through Xia Huanyu's eyes. He quickly said, "Ling'er, follow me back to the Palace."

Empress Hua's face froze and she didn't respond.

Yun Shang turned around and winked at the people standing at the door. Then they left together.

The yard had been besieged by the imperial guards and the palace guards. Although the corpses of Su Ruji and Su Qi hadn't been found, they were most likely to have escaped. Yun Shang no longer worried about the safety of Empress Hua, and felt relieved. Since Xia Huanyu was here, it was not her duty to protect Empress Hua.

It was already noon. Yun Shang had been on the way without eating anything since last night. She didn't felt hungry until she finally relieved. Thinking that Xia Huanyu might still have a lot to say to Empress Hua, she smiled at Liu Wenan, who was waiting outside, and said, "Lord Liu, I'm afraid you must be hungry too. Why don't you go to have meal with me?" Liu Wenan looked at the closed door of the yard with a smile. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will go with you."

Yun Shang was indeed very hungry, so she stopped at a random restaurant. The shopkeeper noticed that Yun Shang was well-dressed and followed by several servants. He knew that she must be an extraordinary woman, so he quickly took her to a private room upstairs.

Qin Yi asked Liu Wenan what he wanted to eat and ordered a lot of dishes.

The shopkeeper poured tea for them and then hurried down to ask the servants to prepare food. Liu Wenan smiled and said to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, you have left Jin City for more than two months. Is everything okay?"

Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "I had been on tenterhooks these days, fearing... Since Hua Ling hadn't been restored to the throne, Yun Shang smiled and continued, "Fearing that something might happen to Her Ladyship. Now that His Majesty is here, I can finally be relieved."

Liu Wenan nodded and sighed with a touch of emotion, "When I heard that Her Ladyship was still alive, I thought that God is really fair. His Majesty had been blaming himself for not protecting Her Ladyship well for so many years. When we were at the top of Mt. Jun, I was thinking that if Her Ladyship fell off the cliff in front of him this time, His Majesty would never be able to live. Fortunately, everything turned to be perfect. Thank you very much, Your Highness. Thank you for protecting Her Ladyship well."

"I'm flattered, Lord Liu. This is what I should do. After all..." Yun Shang curled up her lips and didn't speak it out. A hint of understanding flashed through Liu Wenan's eyes. He smiled and said, "Prince Rui is a man of great importance. With a smart wife like you supporting him, I believe that His Highness will make a great achievement."

Yun Shang's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and a flicker of thought flashed through her eyes, but it was quickly concealed. She smiled and lowered her eyes, without answering.

After the meal, Xia Huanyu sent a message to Yun Shang, saying that he would stay in Huaiyin City for a few days and ask Yun Shang to do her own thing. Yun Shang thought that there were still some things to deal with in Lingxi City, so she agreed and went back to Lingxi City with Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo.

Lady Zhang had been caught by the secret guards. Since Su Ruji and Su Qi had run away, she was just an abandoned chess piece.

When Yun Shang returned to the yard, she saw Lady Zhang kneeling in the yard guarded by the secret guards. Lady Zhang's hair was in a mess, and her face was a little pale. Her eyes were dull, but her face was still calm. Zhang Xing stood aside with a stiff face.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Xing turned around and saw Yun Shang. He immediately lowered his head and stepped further from Lady Zhang.

Yun Shang's eyes moved. She glanced at Zhang Xing and then fixed her eyes on Lady Zhang. She smiled and said, "Lady Zhang looked so gentle and kind, I didn't expect you were such a woman. If I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come back today."

Both Zhang Xing and Lady Zhang pulled a long face.

Qian Zhuo took out a chair from the room for Yun Shang. Yun Shang sat down, squinted at Lady Zhang for a long time and sighed, "Lady Zhang, you don't have to be so desperate. Although I'm not a good person, I'm not as cold-blooded as you think." After a pause, Yun Shang lowered her head again and said in a low voice, "By the way, I forgot to tell Lady Zhang that your son was killed by Su Ruji on the second day he was taken away. But you have done so much for the murder of your son."

Hearing this, Lady Zhang suddenly raised her head and asked in shock and doubt, "What did you say?"

Yun Shang didn't respond.

Lady Zhang said in a hurry, "You are lying, aren't you?" My son is still alive, isn't he?"

Looking at her like this, Yun Shang recalled the scene in her previous life when her child was thrown to the ground by Mo Jingran and died. A hint of sympathy flashed through her eyes. After a while, she said, "Then just take it as a lie."
