Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 940

It was getting colder and colder in the winter, and the braziers were taken into the palace. It seldom snowed in the State of Xia, but it was also piercing cold. Yun Shang didn't like to be wet and cold this way. For some reason, it hurt so much during her menstrual period since winter.

Yun Shang was lying on the couch with a pale face, surrounded by three braziers. Qin Yi lifted the curtain and came in with a food box. She took out a bowl from it and handed it to Yun Shang. "Your majesty, this is brown sugar water. I heard that it is very useful to drink during your menstrual period if it hurts."

However, Yun Shang had no strength to nod. She took it and drank more than half a bowl of brown sugar water. Then she sighed slightly and said, "I didn't have this problem before. Why did I suddenly become like this?"

Qin Yi thought for a while and asked, "Is it caused by the cold air when you were giving birth to the Prince?"

Yun Shang sighed, "Does it mean that the pain will be with me for the rest of my life?"

Qian Zhuo said, "I've heard that if you fell ill during the delivery or during the month, you can recover completely after the next birth."

Yun Shang drank up the rest of the water and turned to stare at Qian Zhuo, "Do you think giving birth to a baby is so easy? I suffered a lot when I gave birth to Bao'er."

Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "It's much better than being like this all your life, isn't it? I have never seen you so weak since I followed you."

Yun Shang leaned against the couch, not willing to talk.

Suddenly, a very obscure voice came from outside, which made Yun Shang and Qin Yi prick up their ears. Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo, and then turned to Qin Yi, "There is no other person in the palace who can turn to for help. Qin Yi, go to the Taihe Palace to ask the former empress. Ask Chen Ke to take some desserts from the State of Ning which were prepared in the kitchen at noon. The former empress will like them."

As soon as Qin Yi heard that Yun Shang asked her to take Chen Ke with her, she knew that Yun Shang must have something to deal with, so she said yes and left the inner hall. Then Qin Yi's voice came from outside the hall, "Chen Ke, go to the small kitchen to get some cakes made for the empress this noon. Come with me to the Taihe Palace."

Chen Ke replied in a low voice. Then Yun Shang heard footsteps getting farther and farther.

"Your majesty?" Qian Zhuo glanced at Yun Shang and asked.

Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "There's no hurry. You can go out and have a look. You can come in after Qin Yi and Chen Ke leave the Weiyang Palace."

Qian Zhuo responded and walked out of the inner hall. After a while, Qian Zhuo came in. Yun Shang nodded, and Qian Zhuo quickly walked to the window and opened it. The cold wind blew in all of a sudden, which made Yun Shang frown and feel a stomachache again.

A small paper ball flew in from the window and landed on the ground beside Yun Shang. Yun Shang stared at the paper ball for a long time before she raised her eyes and ordered Qian Zhuo to pick it up. Yun Shang unfolded the paper and quickly glanced at the words on it. She frowned and suddenly sat up. "Go and bring the secret guard who sent the message in. I have something to ask him."

Qian Zhuo answered yes and left in a hurry. After a while, she came in with a eunuch. When the eunuch saw Yun Shang, he bowed and greeted, "Your master."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, with a bit of anxiety in her eyes. "According to what you said on the paper, there were two Liu Jin in Yang Liu Town. What's going on?"

The secret guard quickly replied, "We went to visit Yang Liu Town. They all said that there was only one Liu Jin in the town, a butcher. But later, another Liu Jin moved to the town, who was a teacher."

Yun Shang bit her lips. She suddenly remembered something. When Lady Hua Guo mentioned Lady Liu, she said that Liu Jin was just a butcher. She also said that Lady Liu was the wife of a butcher and she was very vigorous. But a few days ago, Luo Qingyan said that Liu Jin was just a teacher, and even ten Liu Jin couldn't teach a Liu Yinfeng.

Why was it so strange?

"Which Liu Jin' daughter is Lady Liu?" Yun Shang looked up at the secret guard and asked softly.

"She is the daughter of the teacher, Liu Jin. Less than two years after the teacher moved to Yang Liu Town, his daughter was suddenly chosen to be a concubine, and then the whole family moved to Jin City. After the teacher moved away, the butcher Liu Jin also moved away," the secret guard replied.

Yun Shang looked up at Qian Zhuo and said, "Send someone to investigate what Lady Liu reported to about Liu Jin when she entered the palace." Qian Zhuo nodded. Then Yun Shang turned to the secret guard and asked, "Does anyone in the town know that Liu Jin has adopted an orphan as his adopted son?"

The secret guard thought for a while and said, "As for the adopted son, the old people in the town said that Liu Jin didn't have an adopted son, but there was a little boy living in the house, about six or seven years old. The boy looked like a child from a rich family, with servants accompanying him. And the Liu Jin family respected the little boy very much. Someone once heard Liu Jin call the boy master."
