Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 819

Yun Shang return to the mansion from the Palace together with Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan finished his work earlier than the previous days and didn't look tired. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Your Highness seems to be getting familiar with those affairs."

Luo Qingyan also smiled. "Not very familiar. It's just that there are a lot of government affairs piled up in the 10-odd days after His Majesty left Jin City, I've done dealing with them in these days."

"That's good." Then she held Luo Qingyan's hand, giggling, "My uncle is really capable."

Luo Qingyan reached out and held Yun Shang in his arms. He patted Yun Shang's head and said, "Are you praising me or making fun of me? What about you? Didn't you complain that there were too many account books a few days ago? Why did you go to the Palace today?"

Yun Shang smiled quietly, "I also have done with my work." There was another usual thing in the Palace recently except that jewelry purchase thing reported by Qian Yin. I heard from Lin Youran that some servants were also missing for no reason, and she had never heard of the jewelry purchase thing."

Luo Qingyan nodded and thought for a while. Then he looked at Yun Shang and asked softly, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do about it?"

Yun Shang pondered over for a while and said, "I hope Your Highness could offer me the number of the missing people both in the city and in the Palace."

"Well, since Your Highness has given the order, I will definitely send someone to investigate it in two days" Luo Qingyan replied with a smile.

As soon as she returned to her room, Qin Yi came up to her and said with a smile, "Your Highness, there is a letter from the State of Ning."

Yun Shang was surprised, and her face lit up with joy. "Who has wrote to me? Let me have a look." As she spoke, she saw a letter on the desk. Yun Shang picked it up and saw the handwriting of her father on the envelope.

Yun Shang opened the envelope and unfolded the letter. It was written by her mother. In the letter, her mother just told her some trivial things, and gave some detailed instructions to Yun Shang like what she needed to pay attention to when she was about to give birth. But what made Yun Shang frown slightly was the date at the bottom of the letter, June 6th, 9 pm.

Yun Shang got some information from the date. One good news and one problem.

The good news was that Su Ruji didn't pose a threat to her mother. After all, it was about April or May when Su Ruji took out her mother's hairpin to threaten her. If something really happened to her mother, she couldn't have written the letter.

But there was a problem. After Su Ruji threaten her with her mother, she had sent someone to the State of Ning to check. So her mother should've send her letters to relieve her as soon as possible. But the date written in the letter was more than a month after Yun Shang sent the secret guards. Moreover, her mother wrote the letter in June, but it was already August now. It would take at most 20 days from the Imperial City of the State of Ning to Jin City if at top speed. But why did it take two months to send this letter?

"What's wrong?" Luo Qingyan asked as he saw that Yun Shang didn't look happy when she received the letter from the State of Ning.

Yun Shang handed the letter to Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan read it carefully and stared at the bottom of it.

"This date..." Luo Qingyan frowned and looked up at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang nodded slightly and asked Qin Yi, "Is the person who sent the letter still here?"

"Yes. Seeing that he was a little messy, I asked him to take a bath and have some food. Do you want to see him, Your Highness? I'll ask someone to bring him here. " Qin Yi said in a hurry.

"Well, bring him here. I have some questions to ask." Yun Shang nodded.

Qin Yi replied and went out.

Someone outside asked to see Luo Qingyan. After Luo Qingyan walked out, Yun Shang heard a low voice coming from downstairs. After a while, Luo Qingyan came up again, stood at the door and said to Yun Shang, "I have something to deal with. I'll go to the study. Ask someone to call me at dinner time."

Yun Shang replied with a smile, and Luo Qingyan went downstairs in a hurry.

Yun Shang felt a little hot in the room. In the last few days, she just wore a loose silk dress which was quite comfortable. Today, she had changed into formal clothes when she went to the Palace. Yun Shang frowned, walked to the window and pushed it open. Outside the window, she could see the green lake and pink lotus flowers in full blossom. A breeze blew into the room, which made the room less stuffy.

From the second floor of the South Yard, you could overlook more than half of Prince Rui's mansion. There were many yards in the mansion, but most of them were unoccupied as there were only two masters, which made the mansion look a little desolate.

Footsteps came from outside. Yun Shang turned around and saw Qin Yi go upstairs with a young man. "Your Highness, here he is."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and looked at the man, "Are you the one who sent the letter to Lady Jin?"

The man cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

"I saw the date in the letter was June 6th. Now it's already August. Why did it take you so long?" Yun Shang picked up the letter beside her casually and folded it.
