Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

"There is news from the imperial tomb that the humidity in the imperial tomb is heavy, and the young prince is seriously ill. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive." Li Qianmo sat opposite Yunshang and said softly.

"Xiao Shizi?" Yun Shang squinted her eyes, turning her mind around, but she didn't remember who this so-called Xiao Shizi was.

Li Qianmo saw the doubts flashing in Yun Chang's eyes, so he understood her question, and said quickly, "He is the son of the ex-prince. He is three years old. I heard that he was a child prodigy. He used to be favored by His Majesty. After the ex-prince died, So I went to the imperial mausoleum with the concubine to guard the mausoleum for the prince. It should have been three years, but it has only been three months."

"Oh?" Yun Shang turned the teacup in her hand, squinted her eyes and took a sip of tea, before saying, "The empress is really impatient, now that Prince Rui is not in Jincheng, and the eleventh prince has just gone to the fiefdom, the only adult in the imperial city The prince of the year is the seventh prince. Although the little prince is young and the relationship is separated by another layer, he is the queen's grandson after all. The royal family has a shallow relationship, let alone a grandson, it is a father and son. The eleventh prince is imprisoned in the fief like that, and it is rare to see him once in a few years, I am afraid that His Majesty will soon forget that he has such a son, so the queen is anxious."

"Master, what do you mean?" Li Qianmo was stunned, and after a moment of contemplation in his mind, he turned around, "Is it true that the young prince is sick, and the queen wants to take the young prince back to the imperial city in the name of serious illness?"

"Of course it is, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? As soon as the queen's people arrived at the imperial mausoleum, the young prince became seriously ill." Yunshang said indifferently, but she thought in her heart that it would be beneficial to be a dead person, you can sit on the mountain and watch Tiger fight.

Yun Chang put down the teacup and tapped lightly on the table, "It's just that this incident also let me know one thing."

Qian Yin, who was playing with an embroidered support, raised her head curiously when she heard the words, "What's the matter?"

Yun Shang glanced at her empty right sleeve, and a red bloody light flashed in her eyes, "The people who chased us around Qilan Town must not belong to Su Qi and the Queen."

Qianyin was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Yunshang to come to such a conclusion suddenly, with a bit of doubt in her eyes, "Why did the master say that?"

"If this matter was done by the Su family or the empress, the empress knows that I am still alive, so she will definitely not take Xiao Shizi back to Jincheng at such a juncture. If I am still alive, I will definitely not allow such a thing to happen, Xiao The prince is the only bargaining chip in her hand now, and she dare not take this risk." Yun Shang slightly stroked the rim of the teacup with her hand, with a somewhat indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth, "Concubine Shen Shu..."

"I remember that during the last witchcraft incident, witchcraft also appeared in Concubine Shen Shu's palace. In this way, Ning Qian should have planted people in Concubine Shen Shu's palace. Tell Ning Qian, try to let us People approach Concubine Shen Shu and gain Concubine Shen Shu’s trust. Adding flowers is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult. Tell Ning Qian these ten words, and she will naturally know what to do." Yun Shang whispered, her eyes became more and more cold up.

"The little prince?" Li Qianmo asked in a low voice, "How does the master want to deal with it?"

Yun Shang pondered for a moment before saying, "The queen is not against me now, and I don't want to hurt a three-year-old child, so let's just wait and see, I think, even if we don't make a move, someone will. "

"The Seventh Prince?" Qianyin said in a low voice, "That's right, although the Seventh Prince has always looked sick and weak, his private power should not be underestimated. He really cares about the throne, and he definitely doesn't want to have another one." The enemy, even if it's just a three-year-old kid, I'm afraid he won't be willing."

Yun Chang smiled, "These princes and concubines are all staring at the chair His Majesty is sitting on, but they all forgot that the chair is still His Majesty's now. Your Majesty is only in his fifties this year. When you are old and strong, how can you let them plot one by one, just watch and see how your Majesty will treat them in the end after exhausting all their efforts."

The news of the prince's serious illness spread to the imperial city. Yun Shang has been paying attention to the movements of the queen and Su Qi, but found that they were very calm this time, and they did not mention this matter before His Majesty. The last person who spoke surprised Yun Chang, and it turned out to be the Seventh Prince.

I heard from Li Qianmo that His Majesty sent two imperial physicians to the imperial mausoleum to see the young prince. That morning, the imperial physician wrote back, saying that the imperial mausoleum had been invaded by the damp poison of the imperial mausoleum. It won't be long. After the Supreme Hospital's verdict was reported, there was silence in the hall. After a long while, the Seventh Prince stood up and said, "Father, the little prince is the only blood left by the royal brother. The royal brother is gone now, but the little prince is still alive." They are still the descendants of the royal family. Our country of Xia respects the character of filial piety, and the little prince guarded the mausoleum of the emperor's brother because of this word of filial piety. But we can't blindly be filial piety and lose our lives."

Xia Huanyu glanced lightly at the sad Seventh Prince, and after a long while, said calmly, "Then what do you think should be done?"

The Seventh Prince hurriedly said, "Bring Xiao Shizi into the palace, heal his illness first, and then make plans."

"What do you think?" Xia Huanyu looked up at the court full of civil and military ministers, and everyone looked at each other. After a while, almost half of them came out and knelt behind the Seventh Prince. yes."

After a moment of silence, Xia Huanyu called Liu Wen'an and said, "Let's draw up an order, let someone go to the imperial mausoleum to take the son back to the palace."

Yun Chang smiled, "This is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds. After all, the prince is the prince's child. Both the queen and the Su family must avoid suspicion, otherwise they may cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied. And this matter is said by the Seventh Prince, Your Majesty You will definitely feel that the Seventh Prince is magnanimous. In the court and among the common people, he can gain a good reputation as a virtuous man, which kills two birds with one stone."

The corpse of the fake Princess Rui had been lingering in Prince Rui's residence for seven days, and it was about to be buried. Princess Rui is the wife of the prince, but she cannot be buried in the imperial tomb, so Xia Huanyu ordered to choose a place on a mountain east of the imperial tomb.

On the day of the funeral, Yun Chang followed Li Qianmo with Qian Yin and left Li's mansion. Outside Prince Rui's mansion, the soldiers who sent the spirits were ready, all dressed in plain colors. After a while, the carriage with the coffin came out of the house. Fuchu drove out. The butler was dressed in sackcloth and mourning, holding the spirit tablet of Princess Rui in his hand. The soul-calling flag walked in the front, followed by the steward holding the spirit tablet, and then many people crying for spirits, they should all be servants of Prince Rui's residence, followed by the carriage carrying the coffin, behind the carriage was a long Guarding soldiers.

It was very grand, and wherever it passed, it was crowded with people watching, some of them were still whispering and discussing who was in the coffin, and Yun Chang moved with the crowd.

"Master, among the onlookers, there are many skilled killers." The dark guard approached Yunshang and whispered.

Yun Chang nodded, but she had thought of it. Since she was waiting for her to appear, Concubine Shen Shu must also understand that today is a good day, so she must be fully prepared.

It still takes about three days from Jincheng to the imperial mausoleum. The sending team slowly left Jincheng, and the number of people who followed gradually decreased, but there were still quite a few, but most of them were arranged by Yunshang.

Not long after leaving the imperial city, he walked into a small valley with hillsides on both sides, but it was not very high. Yun Shang was thinking, it's almost here, and she wanted to turn around and go back to Jincheng.

At this moment, two touches of bright red suddenly flew down from both sides of the hillside, followed by hundreds of men in black.

"There are assassins, there are assassins!" Many exclamations suddenly exploded in the spirit sending team, and they became a mess. Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at the two bright red heads, and suddenly frowned.

Before Yunshang could react in the future, some people who looked like ordinary people standing around Yunshang who were walking with the spirit sending team suddenly drew their swords, and greeted the man in black who rushed down from the mountain cloak , fight together.

The horses dragging the hearse seemed to be frightened, raised their legs and neighed twice, and then began to charge into the crowd. Everyone hurriedly dodged, Yun Chang smiled slightly when she saw this, and held the silver needle in her hand , shot towards the horse, and the horse became even more mad, rushing around, the hearse swayed from side to side, and with a loud "bang", it fell to the ground, and the coffin on the hearse rolled down.

The coffin didn't seem to be nailed too tightly. When it was thrown so hard, the lid was thrown away. Yun Chang's eyes fell on the coffin, and she frowned suddenly. It was empty.

The coffin turned out to be empty?

Yun Chang's mind turned quickly, and many people around had already seen the scene in the coffin, and they began to scream again. Seeing this, the two men in red hurriedly shouted, "The coffin is empty, get out!" Then they quickly jumped up the hillside, jumped down, and disappeared.

The butler had come to his senses, and hastily shouted, "The princess is gone, the princess is gone!" The crowd was so chaotic, where he couldn't hear his voice clearly, Yun Shang glanced at it, and took Li Qianmo and Qian Tone they left.

"Why is the coffin empty?" Qianyin murmured to himself in a low voice, "It was just a pretending fake corpse, why did it disappear during the funeral?"

Yun Shang was also a little unclear, so she was silent for a long while before saying, "After this matter, I will quietly ask the housekeeper, and you ask the secret guards to find out where they are."

Qianyin raised her head and glanced at Yunshang, then she knew who they were that Yunshang was talking about, she nodded, and went to pass on the message. Before it was night, the dark guard had already found the place, so Yun Chang hurriedly dressed up and went to the inn that the dark guard said, walked to the door, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened, and a woman's face was poked out inside, looking at Yunshang strangely, "Who are you?" Yunshang faintly heard the sound of a sword being pulled out, and then quickly smiled and said , "It's me, won't Yan'er invite me in?"\u003c
