Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 979

Yun Shang nodded and sighed in her heart. Doctor Xue Yan couldn't have expected that he would be killed by his disciple whom he had raised for many years.

"But why did Zheng Qiming kill Doctor Xue Yan? No matter how powerful Doctor Xue Yan is, he is just a doctor. A doctor is not a threat to Xia Houjing and can't obstruct him. Why did he have to kill him?" Yun Shang couldn't figure out why Xia Houjing killed Xue Yan.

Hearing Yun Shang's question, Luo Qingyan fell silent. Seeing this, a light flashed in Yun Shang's mind. She paused for a moment and lowered her head. "Doctor Xue Yan helped me a lot. It's me who hurt him."

Worrying that Yun Shang would overthink, Luo Qingyan put his arm around Yun Shang's shoulder and said, "It's all Zheng Qiming's fault. What we can do for Xue Yan now is to revenge him. If Zheng Qiming and Chen Miaosi do something bad in the name of Doctor Xue Yan's disciples, it will really ruin his reputation."

Yun Shang nodded and said, "I must revenge Doctor Xue Yan."

Seeing that Luo Qingyan was in a better spirit, Luo Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.

While they were talking, Qian Zhuo walked in from the outside. She looked at the two people carefully and said softly, "Your Majesty, some news has been sent back from the Yang Liu Town."

Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan, but met his gaze. She smiled and ordered softly, "Go ahead." Qian Zhuo nodded and reported with her head down, "The secret guard found out that two months after the teacher, Liu Jin, moved to Yang Liu Town, a couple also moved to the town. The couple have outstanding appearances and bought the best house in the town generously, so many people had a deep impression of them. A woman in the town had once worked in that house and was responsible for purchasing food. She said that she had seen the young boy of Liu Jin's mansion in that couple's house. She also said that the young master called the couple dad and mom."

Both Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were surprised and excited.

"Is there a lachrymal mole on the woman's face?" Yun Shang asked hurriedly.

Qian Zhuo was stunned for a moment before she answered softly, "The secret guard didn't ask about it in detail. But he told that the man called his wife Xi Er. The man seemed to be in poor health and had been taking medicine for years. The two of them kept a low profile and rarely went out. That man likes to carve wood, and the carvings are lifelike."

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and thought, Xi Er, Cao Wenxi. It must be her.

But who was that man? According to Liu Yinfeng's age, when Cao Wenxi gave birth to Liu Yinfeng, she was still the Crown Princess. Yun Shang had guessed that Liu Yinfeng was the son of the crown prince, Xia Huanyu's brother, Xia Chun.

Liu Yinfeng called the man father. Was it possible that the man was Xia Chun?

But it shouldn't be. When Liu Yinfeng followed Liu Jin to Yang Liu Town, Xia Huanyu had already ascended the throne. Didn't Xia Huanyu ascend the throne after killing Xia Chun? Was Xia Chun still alive? It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that Lady Hua Guo once mentioned that Xia Huanyu was a nostalgic man. At that time, she felt a little ridiculous. If he was a nostalgic man, he couldn't have killed his father and brother. Now Yun Shang felt that the man in the Yang Liu Town might be really Xia Chun, or perhaps Xia Huanyu had never killed him.

"Where did the couple go later?" Yun Shang asked hurriedly.

"According to the secret guard, after Liu Jin left the town, the couple had been living in the town. About three or four years later, the lady was pregnant again. The woman said that the couple were very happy and award her with 20 taels of silver. But happy time didn't last long. Before the baby was born, the husband's illness was aggravated. He passed away before that winter. The lady was heartbroken. After her husband was buried, someone took her away. No one knew where she went." Answered Qian Zhuo.

Hearing this, Yun Shang was a little surprised, but many things were connected.

Cao Wenxi was pregnant three or four years after Lady Liu entered the Palace, which was in line with the time of Xia Houjing's birth. The man should pass away in the early winter, and Xia Houjing was born in December, which was in the middle of winter. Yun Shang had thought that Xia Houjing was the son of Xia Huanyu and Cao Wenxi. Xia Huanyu said that Xia Houjing's background was not like what Yun Shang and others had imagined. If Cao Wenxi had been pregnant in the Yang Liu Town, the child could've been Xia Huanyu's. Liu Yinfeng and Xia Huanyu were both the children of Cao Wenxi and the man. No wonder Liu Yinfeng called Xia Houjing brother in the letter he wrote to Xia Huanyu.

In this way, the identity of the man became the key point. Yun Shang guessed that the man was Xia Chun, but it still needed to be verified. Yun Shang bit her lips. If Xia Houjing was the child of Cao Wenxi and Xia Chun, then it was justifiable for him to rise in revolt. After all, on the surface, Xia Huanyu got the throne after killing Xia Chun. Then Xia Houjing could rise in revolt to revenge his father.

"Send out a message and ask someone to ask..." After a pause, Yun Shang continued, "Ask Lady Hua Guo if Xia Chun likes carving wood. And ask her about Xia Chun's health condition at that time. And how did Xia Chun die?"

Qian Zhuo answered yes and left in a hurry.
