Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 456

It turned out that in less than half a day, the bell in the Imperial City rang, and the imperial edict was sent to the mansions. It said that the old empress died of a violent illness after she came back from a fatigue and long journey.

Yun Shang asked her servants to put on white clothes and white dress, and hang a white handkerchief in her mansion. It was also planned by Xia Huanyu that all the princes and princesses should be in the palace to honor the old empress, but no one mentioned that the families needed to go into the palace as well. Yun Shang was happy with the idle time. As for the imperial palace of the state of Xia, she didn't really want to enter it that often.

After the seventh day, it was the day that Luo Qingyan joined the army to tame the Ya Clan. The white flower had been removed, and Yun Shang replaced her clothes with a light blue dress. Then she sent Luo Qingyan out.

As soon as Luo Qingyan left, the mansion became lively instead. The Lady Hua Guo, several aunts and her sisters-in-law often came to visit her. Xia Huanyu's daughters also came here occasionally to play with her, especially Princess Qian Ling. After that, Princess Qian Ling often took several other princesses here. The youngest prince was a little younger, so he waggled his hands to play with them.

Yun Shang was quite familiar with the other princesses. She always prepared some snacks when they were free in the mansion for fear that the greedy monkeys would come again one day. She didn't go to the palace for many times. But she went to the empress occasionally. And the empress never mentioned ally with Prince Rui again. Occasionally, Yun Shang went to the Xiang Zhu Palace to keep Ning Qian company. Lady Yun was the one who summoned her the most. Lady Yun was kind to Yun Shang as she had saved Princess Qian Ling's life last time.

"I always thought the empress had something to do with the poison, but recently I have found out something. It was lady Shu." Lady Yun sighed. Coldness reflected in her eyes.

"Lady Shu?" Yun Shang fell silent. She had heard of the name for many times. Last time when they discovered the witch dolls, it was found in the palace of Lady Shu. It was said that lady Shu was in poor health, because she had seldom left her own palace.

Lady Yun nodded her head, "you saved Qian Ling's life, so I didn't want to hide it from you. Lady Shu was a maid of the empress at first, and she somehow hooked up with the emperor, the emperor made her a beauty and left her there. The empress was very strict with her servants, and she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen in her palace. Besides, her father was the Field Marshal and was very powerful, so the emperor had to reconsider for the empress' sake. Everyone thought it was over, but lady Shu gave birth to the eleventh Prince and the twelfth princess.

There is rarely a boy and a girl twins in the royal family. Everyone thought it was a good omen at that time. As his Majesty was overjoyed at the news, so he made her Lady Shu. Because of the two kids, His Majesty went to her palace from time to time due to the pregnancy of her two children, and in the end, she climbed to the position and was pregnant again. The empress couldn't tolerate a maid to act so recklessly, so she got rid of Lady Shu's child and even made her never able to have child again. It was all my fault. Lady Shu, pregnant, offended me at that time. I was young and impulsive, so she was punished by me. She knelt down for several hours, but the fetus seemed to be unstable due to her kneel. Lady Shu panicked for the baby, so she fell into the Empress' trick. " Lady Yun sighed and shook her head.
