Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 905

Yun Shang didn't know how Xia Huanyu ascended the throne. She had heard many people say that Xia Huanyu killed his father and brother but she never heard any detail. Hearing what Lady Hua Guo said today, the situation must have been very tragic at that time.

Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Lady Hua Guo smiled and said, "It's been so many years, and no one was allowed to mention it again. The reason why I brought it up is not that I want you to do as Xia Huanyu did. I just want to tell you that if you want that position, you have to contend for it by fair means or foul."

Yun Shang nodded slightly. Although she grew up in the royal family, most fights happened in the imperial household instead of in the court of the State of Ning as her father just have a few children. It was not until she came to the state of Xia that she realized that one could really do anything for the throne. Intrigues, schemes and bloody wars. The imperial household, the court, and even the mansions were all affected.

"You don't have to worry too much. I know His Majesty well. He is nostalgic man. Ling'er had gone through so many things, but he still took her back to the Palace and made her the Empress. If everything goes well, the throne will surely be Qingyan's. Everything must be under His Majesty's control. He just hasn't made a move. The world is still His Majesty's after all. As for who will own it in the future, it's up to His Majesty." Lady Hua Guo curled up her lips into a smile.

Although Lady Hua Guo said so, Yun Shang was not really relieved. If Xia Huanyu was a nostalgic man, how could he kill his own blood relatives without mercy? Moreover, the attitude of Xia Huanyu towards Xia Houjing was so abnormal that Yun Shang couldn't figure it out.

Yun Shang smiled and said gently, "Don't worry. Everything will be settled. He who laughs last laughs best. No matter how scheming Xia Houjing is, so what?"

Lady Hua Guo also smiled, "I believe in you and Qingyan's ability. I and your grandfather can't help you as we are old."

Hearing this, Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Grandma, you can't say that. We are both very busy. We are counting on you and grandpa to help us tutor Bao'er."

Yun Shang had stayed in Lord Hua Guo's mansion for more than two hours before Lord Hua Guo returned. He looked pale and began to scold as soon as he stepped in the yard, "How could second brother become like this? How could he!"

Yun Shang's face changed slightly. Wasn't Lord Hua Guo's second brother Hua Yutong's father?

Yun Shang stood up and asked softly, "What happened? Is he unwilling to go back to the Jin City?"

Only then did Lord Hua Guo find that Yun Shang was in the courtyard. He quickly walked up to Yun Shang and said angrily, "I don't know what kind of promise or benefit Xia Houjing has given him. His Majesty has issued an imperial edict asking him back to the Jin City, but he refused under the guise of helping deal the matter of disaster relief!"

"Disaster relief?" Yun Shang sneered, "There is no disaster at all in the three cities. The so-called disaster and the so-called refugees are all arranged by Xia Houjing. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that Lord Hua has been connected with Xia Houjing for a long time. He is most likely to be involved in the fake disaster." Hearing this, Lord Hua Guo's face darkened. He stamped his feet and said, "There is no such a traitor in our Hua clan. No, I have to go there in person. I will definitely take him back and make him kneel in the ancestral temple to confess."

Lady Hua Guo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned and scolded, "How could you come between the bark and the tree?"

Lord Hua Guo snorted. "How could I not? After all, he is my brother. How can I watch him go astray?"

Lady Hua Guo glared at him and sighed, "The world is about to be in chaos. Now, not only your second brother, but also many people in the court are hesitating. It's his freedom to choose which side he wants to stand. He's not a child anymore. He doesn't need you to teach him. Even if you take him back to the Jin City, he might complain that you're obstructing his way to ride high. Just mind your own business. If you go to second brother, Xia Houjing will know we have known his plan, won't him?

Lord Hua Guo fell silent. After a long time, he stamped his feet and said, "None of my business. None of my business. I won't care whatever he does." Then he walked into the study in a huff.

Yun Shang looked at Lord Hua Guo's back with worries in her eyes. Lady Hua Guo smiled and said softly, "It doesn't matter. He is not able to go there."

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. From the confrontation between Lord Hua Guo and Lady Hua Guo just now, Yun Shang knew that real person in charge of the mansion must be Lady Hua Guo.
