Yun Shang turned her head when she heard Luo Qingyan's voice and said with a smile: "Why don't they let you know that you are back?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "I haven't heard you speak, so I wanted to come in and see what you are doing. What are you looking at? Don't these handwritings belong to the same person?"
Yun Shang smiled bitterly: "It's just because the handwriting is written by the same person that I feel a little troubled." Yun Shang told Luo Qingyan both Ning Qian's discovery and his own suspicions.
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he picked up all the books on the table and looked at them. After a while, he said: "I'm not good at identifying handwriting, but there are always people who are good at it in this big world. Give me these books.
Go and ask someone to come and take a look."
Yun Shang responded, passed the meal, and had dinner with Luo Qingyan before resting.
Luo Qingyan acted very quickly. A letter was sent the next day, saying that the handwriting had been read by Meng Zhui and Han Mingqing, both academicians of the Hanlin Academy. They found that it was written by the same person, but the dates were all within ten years.
's handwriting.
Within ten years, Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly. This time was obviously not right. It has been nearly twenty years since Luoxue Pavilion was sealed, but the things in the pavilion were only put in in recent years. It was obvious that someone had tampered with it.
His hands and feet were broken. This made Yun Shang a little more firm about his guess.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and told Qianliu: "Go to the Li Yu Guan and ask her to find a better pipa and bring it back to you."
Qianliu agreed softly and retreated. When Qianliu got the pipa, Yun Shang took her to the private cell again. Cao Shanxiu's face was still calm, maybe it was because of the mask she was wearing.
Seeing Yun Shang coming, Cao Shanxiu only raised her head and glanced at Yun Sang without speaking. Yun Shang walked up to Cao Shanxiu, ordered someone to bring a chair and sat down, and ordered someone to make tea.
When Cao Shanxiu saw this, Fang sneered and said: "The Queen seems to use this private cell as a place to drink tea, but there is no scenery here, I'm afraid it will affect the Queen's interest in drinking tea."
Yun Shang stretched out her hand to open the lid of the tea cup, and used the lid to carefully brush off the foam on the top. She smiled and said: "In this situation, if the concubine plays a pipa song, it will be just right. It will be easy.
I have seen how beautiful this world-famous rebounding pipa is."
Hearing this, Cao Shanxiu only lowered her eyebrows. After a long while, she sneered softly and said: "I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. Although my surname is Cao, I can't bounce the pipa."
.”
Yun Shang, however, seemed as if she hadn't heard anything and just said to herself: "Princess Xiang, you must have seen her yesterday. The first person who came to the private prison to look for me was her disguised form. She is the original
Among the secret guards of the palace, he is the one who is best at the art of disguise. It is only strange that you, the concubine, were so unlucky that you exposed your flaw in front of her."
Yun Shang picked up the tea cup and put it in his hand. Fang sighed and said, "After we left yesterday, I reported this matter to Your Majesty. I don't know what I should call you, Concubine Cao or the Crown Prince."
Concubine? Or Concubine Cao, right? Does Concubine Cao think that by replacing all the books with Cao Shanxiu's handwriting in Luoxue Pavilion and erasing all the traces left by Cao Shanxiu, Your Majesty and I will have no other evidence?
Proved? If you still don’t believe in this evil, I don’t mind finding Concubine Xiang’s master to remove this disguise from your face.”
Cao Shanxiu's eyes kept changing. After Yun Shang finished speaking, she burst into laughter: "Yes, I am Cao Wenxi, so what? What can you do to me?"
Before Yun Shang could speak, Cao Wenxi said again: "Now that the matter has reached this point, I am not afraid to speak openly with you. If you know about this matter, it will not do you any good. Do you know Xia Huanyu
Why don't you dare to touch me, and why do you try so hard to help me protect Xia Houjing's life? Queen, do you know that the fifteenth princess is my and Xia Huanyu's daughter. What do you think, if my true identity is made public?
Everyone, what kind of face does Xia Huanyu have? This will definitely become the biggest scandal since the founding of the Xia Kingdom. Haha..."
Cao Wenxi's voice was so arrogant that Yun Shang couldn't help but frown, with a stern look in her eyes: "Back then, it was clearly Xia Chun who gave up the position of crown prince. Xia Huanyu had no intention of seizing the throne. It was Gu Nian
It was only because of brotherly love that he ascended to the throne of God with the crime of killing his father and brother, and he has raised Xia Houjing and Liu Yinfeng for you for so many years, why do you want to repay your kindness like this?"
"Repay kindness with revenge?" Cao Wenxi's voice became colder: "Yes, the throne was given to him by Xia Chun, but what was the first thing he did after he ascended 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 imperial court, but why did he have to kill everyone like this? Xia Chun, as my husband, knew Xia Huanyu’s plan clearly but did not reveal even half of it to me. How could I not avenge this? I pretended not to
I didn't care and followed Xia Chun and left Jincheng, but I never forgot my revenge for a day. Xia Chun's illness was poisoned by me. After his death, I entered the palace under the pretext of being pregnant and expecting a child, and he believed it.
.”
A cruel smile appeared on Cao Wenxi's lips: "After Xia Houjing was born, I killed Cao Shanxiu, changed her appearance, and replaced her. Although the Cao family was slaughtered, the remaining power cannot be underestimated. Gong
Although Xia Huanyu was powerful inside and outside the palace, I slowly built up my own network of contacts. However, I was accidentally discovered by Xia Huanyu, so I was thrown into the cold palace, but he did not dare to kill me.
Me, haha!”
Cao Wenxi suddenly turned her eyes to look at Yun Shang, and said with a sneer: "I have cut off contact with the remaining forces of the Cao family outside the palace for several days. If it has been more than ten days, if I still haven't sent the message, Xia Huanyu and
The reputation of the Xia Kingdom’s royal family may be ruined. And...”
Cao Wenxi paused for a moment and then said: "I don't know. Does the Queen know that the jade seal in your Majesty's hand is fake?"
When Yun Shang heard this, she was suddenly shocked and looked at Cao Wenxi intently. Then she saw Cao Wenxi burst out laughing, with tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Looking at the look on the Queen's face, I'm afraid she already knows it. Queen, tell me, if this news is leaked, will Your Majesty, the Emperor, still be safe?"
Yun Shang suddenly put the teacup in her hand on the table beside her, stood up, and walked to Cao Wenxi. However, Cao Wenxi showed no fear at all. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at Yun Shang with a hint of fear in her eyes.
A bit sarcastic: "The Queen, you really want to kill me?"
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, but her expression was very calm, almost eerie: "The real jade seal is in your hands?"
Cao Wenxi shook her head, and the mocking look in her eyes became stronger: "I'm not that stupid to bring Yuxi into the palace. The Queen hates a person and wants to kill her right away, but she can't do it. Isn't that the feeling?
Isn’t it particularly strange? Pfft…haha…”
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly and secretly tightened her hands in her sleeves. After her heart calmed down a little, she smiled and said, "Your words can threaten Xia Huanyu, but they may not threaten me."
When Cao Wenxi heard this, she suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Yun Shang, as if she wanted to see what she wanted.
"This emperor's throne is occupied by those who are capable. Even if there is no jade seal, so what? No matter what, my Majesty and I will overthrow the Xia Dynasty and re-establish a new dynasty! Do you think the people will care about what dynasty it is now?
, who will be the emperor? No, they will support whoever can keep them fed and clothed. So what if the courtiers are unwilling? In every scientific examination, those talented ordinary people have sharpened their heads.
If you want to become an official in the court, what if you replace everyone in the court? And most of the officials above the court are already His Majesty's people. The jade seal is just a dead thing, so you will
You overestimate its role. Your precious son wanted to rebel, but was he suppressed? Now in the Xia Kingdom, it is His Majesty who is in charge. Even if His Majesty just takes a carrot and carves a pattern on it and says it is a jade seal
, then it must also be a jade seal!"
Yun Shang's words were so passionate that even Cao Wenxi was suppressed by Yun Shang's momentum.
"At that time, what if Xia Huanyu gave birth to a fifteenth princess with you? Even the dynasty has been changed. The so-called joke about the Xia Kingdom's royal family is just a joke. If you are willing, feel free to follow your ideas
Just spread these two so-called secrets. You might as well give it a try and see if what I say is true or false. By the way, I have already sent a letter to Yangliu Town.
Then they will return to Jincheng. When the time comes, I will bring the two of them to this private prison and let them come and pay homage to...their mother."
Yun Shang paused after speaking in general terms, and the sarcasm in his eyes was obvious.
Yun Shang finished speaking in one breath, and without waiting for Cao Wenxi's reaction, she turned to Qianliu and said, "Leave the pipa here. If Concubine Cao is bored in this private prison,
You can also play some to pass the time, let’s go.”
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she left the private prison with Qian Liu and walked to the imperial garden. She saw Qian Zui walking in a hurry: "Your Majesty, your mother-in-law and father-in-law have entered the palace and are waiting in Weiyang Palace now.
.”
Yun Shang nodded lightly, sighed lightly, turned around and looked at Qian Zui and said, "Take a look at me, is my hair bun messy? Is there anything wrong with my face?"
Qianliu quickly helped Yun Shang tidy up, and then said softly: "Everything is fine."
Qian Zui stared at Yun Shang for a while, and then said softly: "It's just that his face looked a little bad, but what happened in the private cell just now?"
Yun Shang shook his head, sighed softly and said: "Anyway, I finally know the truth. Now that the matter is clear, we can prescribe the right medicine, which is not a bad thing." After Yun Shang finished speaking, he went straight to Weiyang Palace and returned.
