Chapter 799 The so-called secret
Yun Shang turned his head when he heard Luo Qingyan's voice and said with a smile: "Why are you back? They don't even say a word?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I haven't heard you speak, so I want to come in and see what you are doing. What are you looking at? Are these handwriting not the same person?"
Yun Shang smiled bitterly: "It is because it is the same person's handwriting that I feel a little distressed." Yun Shang said Ning Qian's discovery and his suspicion to Luo Qingyan.
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he picked up all the books on the table and looked at them. After a while, he said, "I am not good at distinguishing handwriting, but there are always people in this world who are good at. Give me these books, and I'll ask someone to come and have a look."
Yun Shang responded, sent a meal, and took a dinner with Luo Qingyan to rest.
Luo Qingyan's movements were fast. The next day, he had already sent a letter saying that the handwriting was seen by the academicians of the Hanlin Academy Meng Zhui and Han Mingqing, and they were handed down by the same person, but the handwriting was only ten years.
Within ten years, Yun Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, and this time was obviously inconsistent. It has been nearly twenty years since Luoxue Pavilion was seized, but the things in the Pavilion were only put in in recent years, so it was obvious that someone had tampered with it. This made Yun Shang's guess in his heart a little firmer.
Yun Shang raised his eyes and ordered Qian Liu: "Go and find the ritual and music officer, and ask her to find a better pipa to bring you back."
Qianliu responded softly and stepped back. When Qianliu took the pipa, Yun Shang took her to the private prison with her. Cao Shanxiu's face was still calm, and I don't know if it was because of wearing a mask.
Seeing Yun Shang coming, Cao Shanxiu only raised her head and looked at Yun Shang, but did not speak. Yun Shang walked to Cao Shanxiu, ordered someone to move a chair and sit down, and then ordered someone to make tea.
Seeing this, Cao Shanxiu sneered: "The Empress seems to have regarded this private prison as a place to drink tea, but there is no scenery here, so it is probably affected by the Empress's interest in drinking tea."
Yun Shang reached out and uncovered the lid of the teacup, and used the lid to gently brush off the top foam. Yingying smiled and said, "This scene, if the Taipin gave a pipa song, it would be just right. It would also allow me to see how beautiful this world-famous rebounding pipa is."
When Cao Shanxiu heard this, she lowered her eyebrows. After a while, she sneered softly: "The Empress is afraid she has found the wrong person. Although my surname is Cao, I just don't know how to play the pipa."
Yun Shang seemed to have not heard of it and said to herself: "Concubine Xiang, you must have seen it yesterday. The one who came to the private prison to find me was her disguise. She is the one among the secret guards of this palace who is the best at disguise. It's just that, you have too bad luck, but you have revealed a flaw in front of her."
Yun Shang picked up the teacup and put it in his hand. Fang sighed and said, "Since I left yesterday, I have reported this to Your Majesty. I wonder what I should call you, is it Cao Taipin or the Crown Princess? Or Cao Taipin, did Cao Taipin think that he had replaced all the books that originally had Cao Shanxiu's handwriting in Luoxue Pavilion, and wiped out all the traces left by Cao Shanxiu. Your Majesty and I have no other evidence to prove it? If you still don't believe in this evil, I don't mind finding Xiang Taipin's master and removing the disguise on your face."
Cao Shanxiu's eyes kept changing. After Yun Shang finished speaking, she laughed: "Yes, I am Cao Wenxi, so what? What can you do to me?"
Before Yun Shang could speak, Cao Wenxi said again: "Since the matter has reached this point, I am not afraid to open the skylight to speak with you. If you know this, it is not good for you. Do you know why Xia Huanyu dared not touch me, and why did he try his best to help me protect Xiahou Jing's life? Queen, do you know that the fifteenth princess is the daughter of me and Xia Huanyu. You said, if my true identity was revealed to others, what face would Xia Huanyu have? This would definitely become the biggest scandal since the founding of the State of Xia. Haha..."
Cao Wenxi's voice was so arrogant that Yun Shang couldn't help frowning, with a bit of stern expression in his eyes: "At that time, it was clearly Xia Chun who gave up the position of prince. Xia Huanyu had no intention of seizing the throne. He was considering his brotherly feelings and ascended to the throne with the charge of killing his father and brother. And he raised Xiahou Jing and Liu Yinfeng for you for so many years, why did you repay such kindness with such grudges?"
"Good will revenge?" Cao Wenxi's voice became even colder: "Yes, Xia Chun gave the throne to him, but what was the first thing he did after ascending the throne? It was to completely eradicate my Cao family! Although he said it was because my father and brother were greedy and disturbed the court, why did he kill them like this? As my husband, Xia Chun knew Xia Huanyu's plan but did not reveal any of it to me. How could I not avenge this hatred? I pretended not to care and followed Xia Chun to leave Jincheng, but I never forgot to revenge for a day. Xia Chun's illness was poisoned by me. After he died, I entered the palace with the excuse of being pregnant and waiting for childbirth, and he believed it."
Cao Wenxi showed a cruel smile on his lips: "After Xiahou Jing was born, I killed Cao Shanxiu, changed her favor, and replaced her. Although the Cao family was killed by the whole family, the remaining forces should not be underestimated. Although Xia Huanyu is powerful inside and outside the palace, I have slowly established my own network of contacts. I was discovered by Xia Huanyu by accident, so I was thrown into the cold palace, but he did not dare to kill me, haha!"
Cao Wenxi suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Yun Shang, and sneered, "I have been cut off from contact with the remaining forces of the Cao family outside the palace for several days. For more than ten days, if I still haven't sent a message, the reputation of Xia Huanyu and the Xia royal family will be destroyed. And..."
Cao Wenxi paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know, the Queen knows that the jade seal in His Majesty's hand is fake."
When Yun Shang heard this, he was shocked suddenly and looked at Cao Wenxi with a steady look. However, when Cao Wenxi burst into laughter, tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Look at the Queen's expression, I'm afraid I've already known it. Queen, you said, if this news is revealed, can Your Majesty, the Emperor, still be safe?"
Yun Shang suddenly put the teacup in his hand on the table beside him, stood up, and walked to Cao Wenxi. Cao Wenxi was not afraid at all, but raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang with a little sarcastic look in his eyes: "Do the Queen want to kill me?"
Yun Shang narrowed his eyes, but his expression was very calm, almost strangely calm: "The real jade seal is in your hands?"
Cao Wenxi shook his head, and the sarcastic look in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "I am not that stupid. I brought the jade seal into the palace. The Queen, who hates someone, wants to kill her immediately, but cannot do it, isn't it very wonderful? Puff...haha..."
Yun Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hands tightened in his sleeves a little. After his heart calmed down a little, he smiled and said, "You can threaten Xia Huanyu, but you may not be able to threaten me."
Upon hearing this, Cao Wenxi suddenly put away her laughter and looked at Yun Shang, as if she wanted to see what she wanted.
"The throne is so powerful, even if there is no jade seal? So what? Absolutely, I, together with Your Majesty, overthrew the Xia Dynasty and established a new dynasty again! Do you think the people will care about what dynasty is now? Who is the emperor? No, who can make them eat and wear warmly, will they support whom. Even if the court officials are unwilling? In every scientific examination, those talented ordinary people want to enter the court and become officials.
, So what if everyone in the court is replaced? And most of the officials in the court are His Majesty's people now. The jade seal is just a dead object, so you can't help but take its role too important. Your precious son wants to rebel, but he is also suppressed? Now, the one who is in charge of the Xia Kingdom is Your Majesty. Even if His Majesty carries a carrot and carves a pattern, it must be a jade seal!"
Yun Shang's words were extremely exciting. Even Cao Wenxi was suppressed by Yun Shang's aura.
"At that time, what if Xia Huanyu gave birth to a fifteenth princess with you? Even the dynasty has changed. The so-called Xia royal joke is just a joke. If you are willing, just spread these two so-called secrets according to your ideas. You might as well try it. What I said is true or false. By the way, I have sent a message to Yangliu Town. Xiahou Jing and Liu Yinfeng will be afraid that they will return to Jincheng in less than half a month. At that time, I will take them to this private prison and let them come to pay homage to...their mother."
Yun Shang said something as usual, and the sarcasm in his eyes was also obvious.
Yun Shang finished speaking in one go, and without waiting for Cao Wenxi to react, he turned around and said to Qianliu: "Leave the pipa here. If Cao Taipin is bored in this private prison, you can also play it and pass the time. Let's go."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, he took Qianliu away from the private prison and walked to the imperial garden. He saw Qianzhe hurriedly walking: "Empress, your mother and father have entered the palace and are waiting in Weiyang Palace."
Yun Shang nodded gently, sighed lightly, turned around and looked at Qianzhuo and said, "Here you see, is my hair messy? What's wrong with my face?"
Qianliu quickly helped Yun Shang to sort it out before whispering: "Everything is fine."
Qian Zhuo stared at Yun Shang for a long time before whispering: "I just saw that my face was a little bad, but what happened in the private prison just now?"
Yun Shang shook his head and sighed softly, "No matter what, I finally know the truth. The matter has been clear, so I can prescribe the right medicine, which is not a bad thing." After Yun Shang said that, he went straight to Weiyang Palace and returned. (To be continued)
