Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 930

Luo Qingyan was a little surprised to see Chen Ke when he came back. After Chen Ke had gone to the kitchen to order the dinner, Luo Qingyan turned to Yun Shang. "What's going on?"

Looking at his expression, Yun Shang knew that he must have also found out that the person who had been watching her in the Weiyang Palace was Chen Ke. Yun Shang blinked at Luo Qingyan and smiled, "It's safer to put the spy around me."

In fact, Yun Shang knew that since Chen Ke worked for Xia Huanyu, what he would do was just to keep an eye on her and report everything to Xia Huanyu in detail. He wouldn't hurt her. In this case, it was best to put him around her. In this way, Yun Shang could find more opportunities to act out of his sight.

Seeing the cunning look in Yun Shang's eyes, Luo Qingyan understood what Yun Shang was thinking. He sighed and said, "I meant to get rid of him directly, but your method is very good."

"Get rid of him..." Yun Shang smiled, "I have thought about it too. But if we can deal with one, there will be another one, and the next one might hide more deeply, which will cause unnecessary trouble."

Knowing that Yun Shang had her own arrangement, Luo Qingyan didn't say anything more. He walked to the bench, sat down, and held Yun Shang to sit beside him. Then, he stared at Yun Shang and couldn't help laughing. Yun Shang was confused. "What are you laughing about?" "I received a message earlier that the State of Ning had sent troops to attack the State of Yelang." Luo Qingyan leaned back, put his hands under his head and looked at Yun Shang with a smile.

Hearing this, Yun Shang was also surprised, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Why should I lie to you? The State of Ning has sent four hundred thousand people to attack the northernmost city of the State of Yelang, Qimucuo City and has taken down three cities in a row in just four days." A hint of cruelty flashed through Luo Qingyan's eyes. "I've ordered Zhao Yingjie to not to t fight against the enemy head on, but just to entangle Qingsu to make him unable to go back for self-rescue."

Yun Shang kept silent for a moment, but she was a little worried. "Although father has sent troops there and taken down three cities, as far as I know, the cities in the north of the State of Yelang are very poor, thus worthless. However, it will take at least three months for the army of the State of Ning to reach the Imperial City of the State of Yelang at the fastest speed. I'm wondering whether or not Qingsu will give up those barren northern cities directly and join hands with Xia Houjing to attack the State of Xia. If they succeed, he can also get from Xia Houjing some cities that are much richer than those in the north of the State of Yelang. In that case, it won't be a loss for him."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "I've thought about it before. But Qingsu is a ruthless man and he was always unwilling to suffer any loss. Besides, he doesn't believe anyone easily. I'm afraid he doesn't completely believe in Xia Houjing. Xia Houjing was scheming though he looked gentle. There is only interest but no trust between the two of them. It is easy to sow dissension between them."

Luo Qingyan thought for a moment and continued. "It is surely a not good thing for Xia Houjing that the State of Yelang has been attacked. He definitely hopes that Qingsu can ignore it and continue to attack the State of Xia with him. I'll ask my secret guards to disguise as Xia Houjing's men to grab the army provisions of Qingsu's. Then Qingsu will have to be very angry with Xia Houjing Ithough he knows it is best for him to take down the State of Xia. Once they have internal strife, it will be our chance."

Yun Shang nodded and smiled at Luo Qingyan, "Your Majesty, it's a good idea to sow dissension between us.

Just then, Hua'er's voice came from outside, "Your Majesties, it's time for dinner."

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan stood up and walked to the outer hall. Chen Ke and Ban Xia were placing the dishes on the table. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, thinking that Chen Ke must have heard what they said. She would have to remind Qian Zhuo and the others to be careful and find a way to inform her once Chen Ke came near her. Fortunately, they only talked about the war just now.

Yun Shang looked around, but she felt something was missing. After a long time, she remembered. "Why hasn't Liu Wenan been with you these days?"

Luo Qingyan smiled, "He's been sent for something. He'll be here soon."

Since Liu Wenan was not here, Pei Lan was asked to test the dishes. After that, Yun Shang took the chopsticks from Ban Xia and began to eat.

In the next few days, everything went as usual. Only the weather was getting colder and colder. As soon as October came, Qin Yi ordered the servants to put braziers in the inner hall. Yun Shang didn't want to go out and she just stayed in the inner hall all day long, dealing with some affairs, reading, and playing with Bao'er. She enjoyed herself very much. Qian Zhuo lifted the purple bead curtain, walked to Yun Shang and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I've got some news."

Hearing this, Yun Shang looked out of the window and asked. "Where is Chen Ke?"

Qian Zhuo smiled and said, "Qin Yi took him to the Imperial Household Department to get the winter clothes of the servants in Weiyang Palace. He's just left and it is going to be a while befor he returns."
