Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 856

Seeing Su Ruji had died, Yun Shang touched her face subconsciously to see if she was disguised by someone else. Then Yun Shang bent down to smell, but she didn't smell any medicine.

This time, it was the real Su Ruji.

Yun Shang raised her head and smiled. Su Qi panicked and stepped back in a hurry. He stared at Su Ruji's corpse, as if he had lost his mind all of a sudden.

Yun Shang looked at Su Qi coldly. The Su family had been favored for more than two hundred years. Su Qi was probably much worse director than the previous ones in charge of the family. He had tried every means to send Su Ruji to the Palace, but only with the prestige and the supports the Su family had accumulated in the court for nearly hundred years, he managed to hold on.

However, Su Qi didn't know how to restrain himself. He wanted to attract everyone's attention, but he was not smart enough and left many hidden dangers.

Su Ruji gradually gained a firm foothold in the imperial household and was able to help the Su family which was already on the decline. Xia Huanyu might have had the intention to take action against the Su family. The Su family's perseverance till now had something to do with Su Ruji's efforts in the imperial household.

As soon as Su Ruji died, it meant that the Su clan was going to be over. Naturally, Su Qi was extremely sad.

"Guards, drag the traitor down." Xia Huanyu's voice was cold, and he didn't even give a glance at the corpse of Su Ruji from beginning to end.

The palace guards rushed in from the outside, restrained Su Qi and pulled him out.

Yun Shang faintly heard the signal from a secret guard. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua. She smiled and said, 'Til go out to see what's going on outside."

After saying that, Yun Shang bowed and walked out of the Taiji Palace.

Outside the Taiji Palace, the palace was under the control of the palace guards. The figures of the palace guards could be seen everywhere. Yun Shang walked to a corner, and a piece of paper fell down from the beam above her head. Yun Shang took the paper and unfolded it.

She frowned and looked at the note. There were only a few words on it: The seventh Prince has arrived at Jin City.

Yun Shang had guessed where the seventh Princes would go after he fled. She thought he was going to the frontier to dispatch troops. But she didn't expect him to return to the Jin City so soon. Didn't he plan to seize the throne now?

But now Luo Qingyan had become the Crown Prince. Even if the seventh Prince returned to the Jin City, it would be difficult for him to turn over.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang curled up her lips, rubbed the paper and put it into her long sleeve.

All the traitors had been arrested, and the Palace gradually returned to peace. The palace guards were cleaning up the corpses of the dead servants in the Palace.

Yun Shang stood in the corridor for a while, with mixed feelings mounting in her heart. Although she was born and raised in the Palace. The Palace was the most prosperous place in the world, and also the darkest place in the world. There were always schemes and slaughters here. However, it was the first time that Yun Shang had experienced such a drastic change in the court.

Yun Shang closed her eyes slowly with a bit of sadness.

Although she didn't like the Imperial Palace where countless creatures were buried like this, she was destined to only stay in it for the rest of her life. Because the people she loved and her family were all there.

Yun Shang sensed footsteps coming, so she opened her eyes. Without looking back, Yun Shang knew who it was.

"The seventh Prince has returned to the Jin City." Yun Shang whispered, "The slaughter is far from over."

The man behind her held her in his arms and said in a gentle voice, "It doesn't matter. As long as we are all here, there is nothing we can't do in the world."

Yun Shang smiled and nodded.

Then Luo Qingyan said in a serious tone, "Shang'er, no matter what happens in the future, no matter how desperate and sad you are, you must always remember that I will always be by your side. I am the one who will spend the rest of my life with you."

Yun Shang didn't know why Luo Qingyan said that, but she nodded.

However, Luo Qingyan still didn't seem to be satisfied. He turned Yun Shang around and whispered to her, "Promise me that you will trust me unconditionally no matter what happens. Trust me, everything will be fine. Yun Shang was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will always believe you..."

Luo Qingyan was satisfied and took Yun Shang's hand with a smile.

Just as she was speaking, she saw the palace guards rushing towards the Taiji Palace. Luo Qingyan frowned and reached out to stop them. "What happened?"

A palace guard replied in a hurry, "Your Highness Crown Prince, the seventh Prince has brought many imperial guards into the Palace."
