Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 984

Yun Shang saw her pale face in Xia Huanyu's eyes, and the astonishment on her face was obvious. Yun Shang quickly hid her expression, silently picked up the black chess piece that had just fallen, and then looked up at Xia Huanyu. Her voice was slow and powerful.

"I've heard that father only doted on mother in the imperial household regardless of others' opposition. After mother's accident, father also had the plan to abdicate and look for her. Father, you can do this when you even didn't know whether or not mother was still alive. Moreover, Shang'er is still a living person now. You are not the only one who can give up the throne for your beloved one."

Xia Huanyu's eyes darkened. He chuckled, but there seemed to be a hint of self-mockery, sarcasm, and some unknown emotions in his laughter.

"Like father, like son." Said Xia Huanyu in a somewhat cold voice.

"Do you want to take your favorite tea set with you?" Hua Ling walked out and asked softly.

Xia Huanyu's indifferent expression faded away. When he turned his head, a gentle smile appeared on his face. "Take it. Just put it in the carriage. If we have nothing else to do, we could boil the tea in the carriage."

Hua Ling glanced at the maid behind her, and the maid quickly responded, turned around and entered the inner hall again.

Since Hua Ling was there, Xia Huanyu and Yun Shang changed the topic at the same time, only talking about some ordinary things.

After Luo Qingyan finished dealing with the political affairs, he went straight to the Taihe Palace. The four of them had dinner together, taking it as a farewell to Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling.

After dinner, it was completely dark. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan walked towards Weiyang Palace. Yun Shang recalled what Xia Huanyu had said and what Luo Qingyan had said to Liu Yinfeng yesterday. Her mind was in a mess.

In this situation, they had to choose between abdication and concubine selection.

Yun Shang bit her lips. She would feel guilty to Luo Qingyan if Luo Qingyan abdicated. But she couldn't accept the fact that Luo Qingyan would marry a concubine, unless she left Luo Qingyan.

Between guilt and leave, her choice was evident.

Yun Shang clenched her fists in her sleeves. Just as Ning Qian said, she had always been planning for Luo Qingyan. Let her be selfish this time.

Yun Shang was taken aback when her hand was being held suddenly and turned around.

Linder the dim light of the lantern, Luo Qingyan's eyes looked a little deep. He was staring at her.

Yun Shang came to her senses and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Luo Qingyan frowned. He looked at Yun Shang for a while and said, "That's what I want to ask you. Look at you. You look upset. What happened?"

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time and hesitated. Since she had decided to be selfish this time, she should tell him the truth. Besides, it was him who concealed the decision he had made.

Seeing that Yun Shang lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time, Luo Qingyan sighed, "If you don't want to say..."

Before he could finish her words, Yun Shang suddenly raised her head and said, "His Former Majesty has known it."

Seeing the confusion in Luo Qingyan's eyes, Yun Shang explained, "His Former Majesty has known that I can't have children anymore. He said earlier that I shouldn't have ruined the State of Xia for my own interests."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan trembled slightly and his face gradually turned cold. "You don't have to..."

Yun Shang knew that he was going to comfort her, so she interrupted him and said in a lower voice, "Yesterday, you and Liu Yinfeng were drunk. I heard what you said in the study of the Taiji Palace."

Luo Qingyan suddenly quieted down.

Without waiting for his reply, Yun Shang turned around and walked forward silently.

After a long time, Luo Qingyan's footsteps gradually caught up. Then Luo Qingyan's words rang in her ears, "I know you must have a hard time these days, but we are a couple, so we should deal with it together. A few days ago, I was afraid that you were not in the mood to listen to these, so I didn't tell you. I've come up with three ideas."

Yun Shang didn't turn around, nor did she respond. She just listened quietly.

"The first way is, of course, what I want most is to find Ghost Doctor as soon as possible and cure you and Bao'er. In that case, all the obstacles will disappear. The second is that I abdicate and let Liu Yinfeng ascend the throne. Although Liu Yinfeng is not willing to be the emperor, Xia Houjing is not suitable to be the emperor. If I hand over the throne to Xia Houjing, the State of Xia will be destroyed. I believe in Liu Yinfeng's talent and ability. Although I wanted the throne before, it's just because my life is boring without you. Power is the only way to paralyze myself. Now that I have you, the throne is nothing compared to you."

Luo Qingyan paused.

"The last method is also the worst situation. If Ghost Doctor can't cure you and Bao'er, and something goes wrong with Liu Yinfeng."
