Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 998

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she folded the piece of parchment again. She ordered Qian Zhuo to light the lamp and burned it. As the parchment was being burnt, there was a smell of burning. Yun Shang frowned and looked at it. It was burnt out little by little until nothing was left. Then she ordered Qian Zhuo to clean the ashes.

Yun Shang looked up at the sparks that were still jumping among the ashes and was lost in thought. She then bucked herself up, looked at Qian Zhuo, who was busy with her work and asked, "What do you think is the best way to stop the rumor?"

Qian Zhuo was dazed for a moment. She then turned around, and answered uncertainly, "Rumors disappear in front of the wise. It's good that you don't believe it. In this way, no matter what kind of rumors they are, they will vanish."

Yun Shang smiled faintly, "What can disappear before the wise is a rumor, not the facts. So now the best way is to make people believe that the news they spread is fake."

Yun Shang pursed her lips. She had done this kind of things when she was in the State of Ning. But at that time, she had a unique condition, which was, Master Wu Na was there, and he was very respected in the State of Ning. His status then was close to God. But in the State of Xia, no one could help her like this.

Yun Shang closed her eyes slowly and kept muttering that there must be a road to the mountain top. After a long time, she opened her eyes. A firm look flashed through her eyes, "It's Qing Ming Festival. It's March now. There's still nearly a month left before the Festival. Everything is still there. We still have time to go."

She also had the opportunity to manipulate things in such a short time, so that the whole situation would be different. With this in mind, Yun Shang laughed. This was a great challenge, wasn't it? It was exciting to think about it.

Yun Shang raised her eyes and said to Qian Zhuo, "Tomorrow you will go out of the palace with my token and find Ning Qian. Ask her to find a middle-aged man with a look of sage-like type and place him in a Taoist temple near the Jin City as a Taoist. It would be best if he could replace the position of the temple leader, set up rules and make three trigrams a day. Every day, send three people to do divination there, and then try every means to spread the results. They will say that this Taoist is accurate in divination and that he is a God coming from the mortal world."

Qian Zhuo didn't quite understand about all these, but she responded immediately seeing Yun Shang look so serious.

Yun Shang walked to the chair and sat down, slowly closing her eyes. Only one month was left and what could she do within this one month? It was enough for her to create a master Wu Na out of nowhere. Maybe his reputation and status were not as high as that of Master Wu Na, who had accumulated so much for such a long time, but one month was enough for that created master to deal with this very matter.

In the past, she always thought that it was no big deal to deal with the situation according to the actual situation. Flowever, she had forgotten that the most important thing was to take preventive measures in advance. It was best to block all the hidden dangers before they started. This time, she had to work hard on the action "block".

Thinking of this, Yun Shang went back to the couch, picked up a medical book and read it carefully.

In the next few days, some news came from the Shangyi Bureau and the secret guards who were watching the palaces and halls. Yun Shang had ordered Yu Nian to keep an eye on the Shangyi Bureau, and indeed they found some who were panicking because of Yun Shang couldn't sit still and secretly contacted others. At the same time, several ladies were involved.

Yun Shang noted down the names of those people one by one and asked the secret guards to investigate them carefully. As expected, they found out a lot of secrets in the palace. Yun Shang divided all those people in the palace into two categories. One was those who were against her, and the other was those who were safe to her.

Outside, Yun Shang had always declared that the person who poisoned Yun Shang had not been found yet, and thus everyone was nervous and worried. However, the imperial household started to stir up trouble from the Department of Jewelry.

For a moment, everyone in the palace was jittery. In the daytime, people kept talking about it. At midnight, they indistinctly saw white shadows floating outside the Department of Jewelry, and intermittent cries could be heard.

There were different opinions about the identity of the ghost. Someone said that there had been a servant who had killed herself in the Department of Jewelry. Presumably, the servant had been wronged and came back to ask for her life.

Some people also said that the Department of Jewelryhad been burnt, and many people had died. It was also possible that they were the ghosts of those people died in the fire.

Yang Mingzhu, the master of the Department of Jewelry, was the most affected. It was said that it was Yang Mingzhu who saw the white shadow that day. He was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she was also a little unconscious. Once someone came across her, she would scream and shout, "Don't look for me. Don't get close to me. It's not me who killed you."

When the report came to Yun Shang, she was talking to several ladies. She frowned and said worriedly, "I'm afraid she was frightened and talked nonsense."

Lady Wan, the mother of the nineteenth prince, was a little hesitant when she heard this. She asked in a low voice, "Was it possible that she was stained by something dirty?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes were full of worry. She thought for a while and said, "Master Yang is in charge of the Department of Jewelry, but now she is so ill and weak. I'm worried about her. I'd better go to have a look."

Hearing this, the concubines immediately said, "The Department of Jewelry has made a lot of beautiful jewelry for us. Now that Master Yang met trouble, we have heard about it in the Weiyang Palace. It's not appropriate not to see her. Your majesty, would you mind taking us to the Department of Jewelry?"

Yun Shang replied smilingly, "Of course not. I don't mind."
