Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 888

"What?" Luo Qingyan seemed to be surprised. He kept silent for a while and said, "I remember that when Lady Liu entered the Palace, Liu Yinfeng should've been at a tender age, right?"

Yun Shang nodded with a smile. "Yes, he was very young then. But who can make it clear about love? Maybe it's because Xia Houjing is the only child left by Lady Liu, Liu Yinfeng still hopes to keep Xia Houjing alive though they have different beliefs."

Luo Qingyan frowned, but didn't seem to believe Yun Shang's words. He was silent for a moment and said, "Why does he always have a problem with a married woman?"

Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, and Luo Qingyan didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed for a rest. After a long time, he didn't hear Yun Shang's movement. He quietly narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Shang, only to find that Yun Shang was looking at him with a frown. Luo Qingyan closed his eyes again and murmured, "Alas, it's so painful to be sick. My throat aches, my head aches, and my whole body aches. And I'll have to inspect the examination tomorrow." He frowned as he spoke, looking miserable.

Yun Shang was angry and amused. She snorted and said, "Go on acting. I'll go to help with the drugs."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan opened his eyes and looked at Yun Shang pitifully. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll be very busy today, and I'll also ask Dr. Chen for help as she is proficient in drugs. No one could take care of Bao'er. I'll go and bring Bao'er here. Since you'll rest all day in the room, you take care of Bao'er today." Then Yun Shang opened the bead curtain and walked out.

"Alas..." Luo Qingyan wanted to stop Yun Shang, but before he could finish his words, he saw the bead curtain slightly shaking at the door and Yun Shang had already disappeared.

After a while, Yun Shang returned to the room with Bao'er in her arms. Seeing that Yun Shang put the baby beside him, Luo Qingyan was about to say something, but Yun Shang interrupted him, "I'll put Bao'er here. Just keep an eye on him. The wet nurse will come to feed him on time. If Bao'er cries, he must have peed or pooped. You can ask the wet nurse to clean it up. You don't need to do anything else. If you have time, you'd better play with Bao'er for a while."

After saying that, Yun Shang turned around and left in a hurry, as if she was afraid that Luo Qingyan wouldn't agree. The two of them, father and son, sat on the bed, staring at each other. Looking at Luo Qingyan with curiosity for a while, Bao'er chuckled.

Looking at Bao'er innocent smile, Luo Qingyan felt bitter in his heart. He was silent for a long time before he sighed and turned around.

However, Bao'er could not bear to be ignored by others, even if this person was his father, the God of war that everyone worshiped. Seeing that Luo Qingyan didn't look at him anymore, Luo Qingyan suddenly grabbed Luo Qingyan's clothes and pulled him with little strength, which made himself roll around and stop just at Luo Qingyan's hand. Bao'er grinned and bit Luo Qingyan's hand.

It was already afternoon when Yun Shang came back. As soon as she returned to the room, she saw the father and son sleeping soundly. Bao'er held Luo Qingyan's arm, as if his whole body was hanging on it. Yun Shang stood at the door and watched quietly, with a smile on her face.

On the early morning of the second day, Luo Qingyan got up early and his fever had subsided. Yun Shang opened her eyes and saw Luo Qingyan putting on his clothes. She frowned and asked, "Where are we going?"

"The Examination Hall." Luo Qingyan answered in a low voice, still a little hoarse, "It's the first day of the autumn Imperial examination. I have to go and check."

Knowing that there was no use to persuade him, Yun Shang also got up and too out a black cloak from the chest. She tied it outside Luo Qingyan's court uniform and said gently, "Don't expose in the wind. Drink more hot water. Don't drink too much tea."

Luo Qingyan said yes, bent down and kissed Yun Shang on the forehead before walking out.

Since she was awake, Yun Shang didn't want to sleep any more. She simply asked Qin Yi to help her dress up. As soon as she finished breakfast, she saw Chen Miaosi coming in with Bao'er in her arms with a smile. "Your Highness, you get up so early today."

Yun Shang took Bao'er from Chen Miaosi's hand. Then, Chen Miaosi continued, "The drugs have been prepared according to Your Highness's order. My master and I have also prepared some special perfumed pills for tracking. Put one in every clothes box on the carts and the clothes will be stained with a faint fragrance. Our butterflies can track the fragrance. But if we use this method, we have to do it recently. If it is getting colder, the butterflies will freeze."

Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes were full of surprise. "Perfumed pills for tracking? This is a good thing. We also made some perfumed powder for tracking before, but the materials required are very rare, so it is difficult to make even a box of it."

Chen Miaosi nodded, her eyes full of complacency. "This is the fruit of my master's painstaking efforts. Although the medicinal materials are not too precious, they have wonderful effects. But only the butterflies we raised coud track the fragrance. If you want to use the perfumed pills, either master or I have to go with the relief supplies."

Yun Shang thought for a moment and smiled, "It's a hard job to escort the supplies. You'd better be more girlish. Let your master go."

Hearing this, Chen Miaosi laughed, "I think so too. The most important task for me is to accompany the little prince."
