Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 893

"Do you believe me or them?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that the news has been spread by those ladies in the imperial household. Since the Empress returned to the Palace, the Emperor favors her only. Most of the concubines in the Palace are the daughters of important officials who hope that their daughter could get the Emperor's favor and help them. They are surely unwilling to see the Emperor spoiling the Empress. I'm afraid that's why they make up the rumor."

Shen Yilan still had some doubts in her eyes, "But why? As long as Empress Hua shows up, the lie will be exposed. What benefit can they get from spreading such a rumor?"

"What benefit?" Yun Shang frowned, but suddenly a light flashed in her mind. She abruptly turned to Shen Yilan and asked, "Do you know that Empress Hua has lost her memory?"

Startled by Yun Shang's action, Shen Yilan nodded, "Yes, I know. What's wrong? Does it have anything to do with this matter?"

[Yun Shang nodded with frightening light in her eyes, "Of course."

"They spread the rumor that the Empress disappeared in order to lure the Empress out to break the rumor. If the Empress appears, they will say that the Empress is a fake one." Saying this, Yun Shang squinted her eyes.

Shen Yilan couldn't figure it out. She looked at Yun Shang blankly, "But isn't the Empress the real one? Even Her Ladyship and His Lordship said she was indeed their daughter..."

"But it's also a fact that the Empress has lost her memory. They will make use of it. The news of the Empress's memory loss was not made public. The Empress grew up in the Jin City, and there were many people who knew her in the city. They only needed to ask some questions. If the Empress could not answer, they could say that the Empress was a fake. Disguising as the Empress is a serious crime." Yun Shang said in a clod voice.

Hearing this, Shen Yilan was a little agitated. She quickly took Yun Shang's hand and said, "Then what should we do? If the Empress doesn't show up, they will say that the Empress was missing. If she does, they will say that she is a fake Empress. What should we do? Shang'er, you are smart. Think of a way."

Yun Shang frowned. She had no choice now, because there was one thing she couldn't figure out: where was Empress Hua?

If that was the case, then Empress Hua should have shown up to break the rumor. But Empress Hua was obviously missing?

"Your Highness..."

While Yun Shang was thinking, she heard Qin Yi's voice coming from afar.

Yun Shang turned around and heard Qin Yi's anxious voice, "Your Highness, the Empress's car is about to arrive at the gate. His Highness ordered me to ask you to the gate to greet Her Majesty."

With obvious surprise on her face, Yun Shang asked, "Her Majesty?"

As Shen Yilan was by her side, Yun Shang had to suppress her surprise. She turned to Shen Yilan and said, "Let's go to greet Her Majesty together."

However, Shen Yilan looked very anxious. "Why is the Empress here? How could the Empress come here? What should we do?"

Yun Shang said indifferently, "Cross the bridge when we get to it."

Now she had to confirm one thing, that was, whether the Empress who came was real or not.

Yun Shang took Shen Yilan and Qin Yi back to the yard. Luo Qingyan was waiting at the door of the garden house. Yun Shang walked quickly to Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Highness, the Empress..."

Luo Qingyan shook his head and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it later."

Yun Shang had to swallow the rest of the words. She bit her lips and looked at Luo Qingyan in bewilderment. Luo Qingyan turned around and glanced coldly at the people in the yard who had quieted down. He raised his voice and said, "The Empress's carriage has arrived at the gate of the Crown Prince's mansion. Please go with me to greet Her Majesty."

"Yes." Everyone agreed. Noticing the meaningful look in their eyes, Yun Shang's heart sank.

Luo Qingyan walked in the front, and Yun Shang followed him through the garden house to the gate. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw the Empress's carriage coming out from the corner and stopping in front of the Crown Prince's mansion.

Luo Qingyan pulled up his robe and knelt down. Yun Shang followed in a hurry, and the others all knelt down.

"Good day. Your Majesty."

Yun Shang raised her eyes slightly and saw that the maid standing next to the carrige was lifting up the gauze curtain embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns. It was just Qian Zhuo.

Yun Shang was very familiar with Qian Zhuo as she had served her for a long time, so she was sure the maid was indeed the real Qian Zhuo. If Qian Zhuo was the real one, Empress Hua couldn't be a fake one.

The gauze curtain was lifted. Qian Zhuo stretched out her hand and helped Empress Hua out of the carriage. Empress Hua was wearing a black robe with phoenixes embroidered on it and a phoenix crown, which made her look quite dignified as the Empress. Yun Shang was shocked as she had never seen the Empress in a phoenix robe. The Empress only wore some plain colored clothes even in the Palace.
