Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 853

"The Su Mansion?" Frowning slightly, Xia Huanyu subconsciously glanced at Empress Hua. Seeing that Empress Hua had been looking at the stage, he kept silent for a while and asked softly, "Who are in the Su Mansion?"

Li Qianmo replied in a hurry, "Su Qi's concubines, his daughters-in-law and his grandchildren are in the mansion."

"Send someone to check the casualties." Xia Huanyu answered indifferently. When he turned his head, he saw Yun Shang looking at him. He paused for a while and then turned to the stage.

The beauties on the boat had already boarded the stage. Each of them held a Pipa in their hands. They danced gracefully while playing the Pipa. Their clothes fluttered in the air, which was breathtaking.

When the Pipa dance was over, Luo Qingyan stood up and said, "Today is my son's full moon party. Thank you for coming. I'll drink three cups of wine to express my thanks to all of you."

After he drank the wine, Liu Wenan took the imperial edict and stood aside with a smile. "His Majesty has an imperial edict."

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to listen to the imperial edict, which was the same as what Xia Huanyu had said before. The Emperor named the son of the Crown Prince Chengye and bestowed him with a prince title, Ming Jin.

As Yun Shang expected, everyone present looked at each other in dismay and bowed to the Emperor. Yun Shang smiled and asked Hua'er to prepare the second performance, which was an opera called Success and failure are both due to Xiao He.

Yun Shang had asked someone to add this opera on whim. Looking at the actor on the stage whose face could not be seen, the corners of Yun Shang's mouth slightly curled up. She turned to Empress Hua and said, "This opera is my new favorite. Do you like it, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, the Empress turned to Yun Shang and said with a smile, "It's a classic. Success is due to Xiao He, downfall is also due to Xiao He. But I'm wondering who is Xiao He?"

Empress Hua definitely knew who Xiao He was. What she asked was who the Xiao He in the play implicate.

Yun Shang smiled and said something that had nothing to do with the opera, "I've heard a saying before. Noble clans could keep their prosperity for at most three generations, but there is a family in the State of Xia that has been favored by the emperors for a long time. However, the recent generation went into a rapid descent. Although there were still some people in the clan who were in high positions, they did not achieve much in both literature and martial arts. But even so, the family was still powerful in the court. I think the reason is that there is such a Xiao He among the family.

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu, who was watching the opera, turned to Yun Shang, lost in thought.

Yun Shang smiled again, "I don't know if the fire of the Su Mansion is extinguished or not. It would be a pity if the foundation of the Su clan is destroyed in this way."

The opera was a long one. Bao'er seemed to feel a little noisy. He pursed his lips and began to cry again. Yun Shang picked up Bao'er in a hurry. In order not to disturb Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua, she walked back and forth in a pavilion aside with Bao'er in her arms and lulled him softly.

"I'm not as good as the Empress. Alas! I'm old! Ha ha... I hope to be an emperor who could live in peace after this battle. I don't want to fight any more!" On the stage, Liu Bang said in a tired voice.

Lyu Zhi waved her hand and replied in a voice full of firmness, Tor the sake of peace, don't show mercy to the people you should fight and kill; don't leave any future trouble!"

"Never leave any future trouble!" These words sounded like a thunder on the ground. Then, everyone by the lake saw that Lyu Zhi jumped up and flew straight in the direction of Yun Shang.

The pavilion Yun Shang chose was a little far away from them because she was afraid that Yun Shang crying would disturb everyone. At this moment, Yun Shang was alone in the pavilion, holding Bao'er in her arms and lulling him, as if she didn't feel the danger at all.

"Shang'er..." Empress Hua suddenly stood up and roared.

Yun Shang turned around with confusion in her eyes. The actress who played the role of Lyu Zhi was not far from Yun Shang, holding two hairpins in her hands. The sharp tips of the hairpins were flashing in the sun.

Yun Shang stood still, and so did Luo Qingyan.

The hairpins stopped less than five inches away from Yun Shang. Yun Shang blinked her eyes and saw that Lyu Zhi suddenly fell to the ground, with disbelief in her eyes. A thin silver needle was inserted between her eyebrows, which was almost undetectable. There was a drop of blood between the actress's eyebrows. Her eyes were still open, but she didn't move at all. "Take off her makeup and let me see who dare stab the Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's Mansion." Xia Huanyu said in a cold voice.

Yun Shang looked down at Bao'er in her arms, only to find that Bao'er was staring at the actress on the ground and stopped crying.

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. "You are fearless. You will definitely be a little devil in the future."

The guard fetched water from the lake nearby and washed off the makeup on the actress's face. Under the thick paint, a familiar figure appeared.

"The... The Empress?" Someone screamed.
