Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 872

Have dinner in the Palace? Yun Shang looked up at Hua'er and said softly, "His Highness is in the study. Go and ask him here."

Hua'er answered and walked out of the hall for the study. Qian Yin was quite curious about the woman who was said to have helped Yun Shang defeat the seventh Prince. She hurriedly approached her and said, "I've heard about what happened in the Taiji Palace, and I've been curious about how you found that there was something wrong with the three memorials? I always think that only Her Highness and Qian Qian have such insight."

Hearing this, Wang Wanzhi smiled and said softly, "You are quite right. You should ask Her Highness about it. I was being very flustered at that time. If it hadn't been for Her Highness who remind me, I woldn't have paid attention to the handwriting on the three memorials.

"But wasn't everyone in the hall at that time? The seventh Prince and His Majesty are all there. How could Her Highness remind you in presence of all of them?" Qian Yin widened her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Wang Wanzhi felt a little funny. She smiled and said, "Sometimes you don't have to make a sound when you remind someone. A letter was found together with the two memorials. Lord Wang slandered me that it was a letter from the Crown Prince. After Her Highness got the letter, she had been finding faults with the handwriting. Her Highness was so familiar with His Highness. It should be easy to find some loopholes of the content of the letter. I was wondering why she kept focusing on the handwriting. "I saw your highness look at me on purpose, so I guessed that you must be reminding me of something. I heard her mention the handwriting all the time, so I tried to find the flaws in the three memorial from the handwriting. It really made me find the flaws." Wang Wanzhi looked at Yun Shang with a smile.

There was obvious admiration in Qian Yin's eyes. She blinked and turned to Yun Shang, "Is it really like what Lady Wang said?"

Yun Shang didn't hide the appreciation in her eyes. She nodded and said, "When Wang Yuanjun mentioned the memorials, I knew it would be too late for me to find out the memorials. I'd better play it by ear."

"I thought about it for a long time and then remembered that Wang Yuanjun said that the Imperial Astronomer had submitted two memorials. And the one that was said to be found in the study of the Imperial Astronomer was the third one. However, when he made a statement to His Majesty, he said that the Imperial Astronomer just found something unusual when he was observing the astronomical phenomena a few days ago. I guessed they were not well prepared. After all, Xia Houjing didn't return to the Jin City until the day when Bao'er's full moon birth party was being held. So they had only had a few days to set up the trap. That was why I thought of the handwriting. Many calligraphers or collectors could tell when the words was being written just from the ink mark. I thought there must be someone who could tell it among the court officials. As long as we mentioned it and asked someone to check it, the truth would be found out." Yun Shang replied with a smile.

"But Wang Wanzhi's performance is much better than I expected. She could even remember the feature of the ink used by the Imperial Astronomer, which destroyed their trap in one blow." Yun Shang looked up at Wang Wanzhi with a smile. Qian Yin complimented in amazement, "Apart from the fact that you could find out the loopholes of the handwriting and proved it, you were really brilliant that you could guess the intention of Her Highness in such an situation."

Yun Shang smiled and nodded, with appreciation in her eyes.

"It is just a coincidence. Although the Imperial Astronomer seems to be a low-key person, he likes to show off very much. I heard him show off to others that the ink he used is extremely precious. He even listed all the features of the ink one by one. I just have a better memory. As for my other words like the memorials seemed to be written on the same day or they had just been written less than five days ago, I just made them up causally." Seeing that Qian Yin and Yun Shang were both gentle, Wang Wanzhi felt much relaxed and answered with a smile.

While they were talking and laughing, footsteps came. Yun Shang turned around and saw Luo Qingyan.

Wang Wanzhi bowed to Luo Qingyan and greeted, "Your Highness Crown Prince."

Luo Qingyan nodded and frowned. He walked to Yun Shang and sat down, "Has His Highness ordered me and Her Highness to have dinner in the Palace?"

Wang Wanzhi replied, "yes."

Seeing that Luo Qingyan didn't look well, Yun Shang knew what he was thinking. After handing the Bao'er to Qin Yi, Yun Shang said gently, "It doesn't matter. The dinner will be setting in Her Majesty's Weiyang Palace."

Luo Qingyan put his hand on Yun Shang's and nodded slightly, "Okay, then pack up and go to the Palace."

Yun Shang nodded. She asked Qin Yi and the wet nurse to change Bao'er's clothes, and prepared some diapers and some spare clothes for him. Then she left the Crown Prince's Mansion with Luo Qingyan and got on the carriage.

Luo Qingyan still frowned after getting on the carriage. Yun Shang touched his forehead and said with a smile, "Your Highness, are you afraid that Xia Huanyu will go back on his word and want to let Xia Houjing go?"

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "Yes, I know Xia Houjing won't be locked up for long, but I haven't arranged it well. Now is not the time."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "I'll take care of it. If the Emperor asks about it later, I'll tell him that although the seventh Prince is a royal member, he had killed two innocent people who were also the important courtiers. If he is released as soon as he is put in prison, it will do no good to the majesty of the royal family. He should be locked up for a few days at least, and then find a suitable time and an appropriate excuse to release him. In this way, others will not gossip about it."

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, held Yun Shang's hand and sighed, "You know me better than anyone else."

After entering the palace, Wang Wanzhi took them to Weiyang Palace. The Weiyang Palace was much quieter than before when Su Ruji was there. There were fewer people in and out of the palace, but Yun Shang felt more relaxed and less restrained.
