Yun Shang smiled faintly, and then bent down to salute. Her voice became softer and softer: "Father, the Emperor Mingjian, my daughter-in-law did not have this intention. It's just that my daughter-in-law heard that His Majesty was still handling the memorial in the Taiji Hall before, so she thought
Recently, your majesty has become more exposed. Your majesty is wearing thin clothes, so I took a cloak and sent it to your majesty. I heard them talking about the fact that the traitor Xia Houjing raised troops in Liucang. Now, although the rebellion has been put down, the people have suffered a lot. Food has been betrayed.
The army robbed the crops, and a lot of crops were ruined. When the army started, many men were forced to join the rebel army, leaving no one to farm in the people's homes. There was almost no harvest this year, and the disasters were heavy."
Xia Huanyu frowned and didn't speak. He didn't know what he was thinking. Yun Shang smiled and said: "When I heard about this, I thought that the people were suffering from this disaster. We in the palace should also be frugal in spending and save money.
All the silver that came down was used for disaster relief."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Mr. Wang, the Minister of Household Affairs, spoke: "Previous disaster relief was mostly caused by natural disasters, and everyone knew what to prepare for the medicinal materials. This is the first time in recent years that such a disaster has occurred due to a military disaster.
The lower official heard that the Empress knew some medical skills, so he asked the Empress for advice on what medicinal materials should be prepared most appropriately."
Yun Shang lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's a bit late today, and I don't want to disturb the Queen anymore. I have nothing to do, so I will help your majesty take notes."
"Oh? What did you discuss? Let me see." Xia Huanyu sneered.
Luo Qingyan winked at Yun Shang, and Yun Shang presented the bamboo slips recorded in his hands. Xia Huanyu opened the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully. Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "After discussing for nearly two hours,
It has achieved some results, and the decree will be promulgated in court tomorrow."
Xia Huanyu raised his eyebrows, closed the bamboo slips, and said calmly: "Something happened in the palace earlier, and it was a mess. Fortunately, I left early, but I ask you people in Weiyang Palace, why don't they know you are in Tai Chi Hall?
?”
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "After dinner, I went to the Imperial Garden with the Queen to enjoy the flowers. Later, because I received an urgent report, I went straight to the Tai Chi Palace. The Queen was in the Imperial Garden
After walking for a while, he saw that I didn't have my cloak, so he made a special trip to bring it over. The two of us were walking in the palace, why did we need to report to the palace?"
Yun Shang looked at Xia Huanyu with disbelief in her eyes, and almost plastered the words "complete nonsense" on her face.
"Father said something happened in the palace? I wonder what happened?" The smile on Luo Qingyan's face gradually faded, and she raised her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, her eyes full of doubts.
Xia Huanyu glanced at everyone in the hall, frowned, waved his hands randomly, flicked his sleeves and turned around and said: "It's okay, you can continue to discuss your matters."
Everyone hurriedly bid farewell to the Supreme Emperor. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other and smiled, and then breathed a sigh of relief. After staying in the Tai Chi Hall for a while, everyone was allowed to disperse. The two of them walked slowly towards Weiyang Palace. Luo
Qingyan kept her head lowered and walked without saying a word, as if she was worried.
Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan from time to time, raised her hand, took Luo Qingyan's hand, and said with a smile: "Xia Huanyu was waiting angrily in Weiyang Palace today to accuse us, but he got a
Damn you. Even if you know that we are just talking nonsense, there is no evidence to expose us. I am afraid I will be furious."
Luo Qingyan's face showed no joy at all, and he said calmly: "It's just that, if it is according to what Liu Yinfeng said before, Xia Huanyu's love for Xia Houjing was only for Cao Wenxi to see, but in fact it was used secretly.
It's precisely because he used the trap in secret that Xia Houjing ended up in this situation. Xia Huanyu didn't let us attack Xia Houjing, just because he was afraid that we would anger Cao Wenxi and Cao Wenxi would leak it.
Knowing those two secrets will shake the Xia Kingdom, so I want to figure it out slowly."
Yun Shang nodded, wondering what Luo Qingyan wanted to say when he suddenly mentioned this matter.
Luo Qingyan stopped, turned to look at Yun Shang and said, "If this is the case, isn't it true that we had always thought that Xia Huanyu was targeting us, but it was actually wrong? Xia Huanyu did not intend to target us, his
What he did was just to stabilize Cao Wenxi and protect the country in our hands. Even if he hurriedly conveyed the throne to me, I'm afraid it was just because Xiahou Jing raised troops, and he was afraid that Cao Wenxi would be ruined because of this.
Therefore, he passed the throne to me in order to minimize the impact of the scandal between him and Cao Wenxi. He is no longer the emperor. Even if the scandal between Cao Wenxi and him is exposed, it will at least hardly threaten the Xia Kingdom.
Then he grabbed Xia Houjing in his hand, did he also intend to threaten Cao Wenxi?"
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan, her mind spinning rapidly. What Luo Qingyan said was not unreasonable.
Liu Yinfeng said that Xia Huanyu doted on him and Xia Houjing just to show Cao Wenxi, so that many strange things he had done before would have reasonable explanations.
Not long after Xia Houjing raised his army, Xia Huanyu hurriedly gave the throne to Luo Qingyan. It is indeed possible that he was afraid that Cao Wenxi would act willfully in order to help Xia Houjing.
Later, Xia Huanyu left Jincheng after New Year's Eve. Yun Shang thought that he was afraid that Luo Qingyan would kill Xia Houjing, so he wanted to go to Liucang himself. But Xia Huanyu went to Lingxi City and even gave him his life.
The person who pretended to be him and Hua Ling and was kidnapped by Cang Jue Qingsu was probably not trying to confuse Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang. The person he really wanted to confuse was probably Cao Wenxi.
"Your Majesty is saying that by confronting him like this, we are probably dealing with the wrong person?" Yun Shang bit her lip, but she still had some doubts in her heart: "But, why didn't he tell us directly? What if he talked to us directly?
We said, let's work together, are we still afraid that we can't deal with Cao Wenxi?"
Luo Qingyan shook her head, her eyes as deep as the sea: "My biological mother is Hua Ling."
It was only seven words, but Yun Shang understood it. If it was just a jade seal, it would be easy to say, but Hua Ling was the source of Xia Huanyu's love. Xia Huanyu finally found Hua Ling and held it in his hands like a treasure.
Here, Hua Ling had lost his memory and had no deep feelings for Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu was even more afraid that if the scandal between him and Cao Wenxi spread to Hua Ling's ears, Hua Ling would have an even worse impression of him.
Yun Shang bit her lip, but she had no idea: "Then what do you think should be done now, Your Majesty? Today, in the daytime, I almost got into trouble with the Supreme Emperor in the Taihe Palace because of Cao Wenxi's incident.
Hands. And just now, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor, we made a special trip to sing this "Escape from the Golden Cicada". Since Your Majesty has thought of this, why didn't you just take advantage of the plan and go to the Weiyang Palace to make it clear to the Supreme Emperor? Just say that we misunderstood.
He..."
Luo Qingyan shook his head, sighed softly and said: "It's just my random guess. I can't be sure now, so I don't dare to take the risk. We have been in trouble for most of the night today. Let's go back to the palace to rest.
I will go to Weiyang Palace in person tomorrow."
Yun Shang responded in a low voice, curled her lips and said, "It's no wonder that we are, our Supreme Emperor behaves so strangely, it's no wonder that we are suspicious. And from what we can see, the things he has done before, such as everything
He favored Xia Houjing and even snatched Xia Houjing from me, who I had finally captured. Even now that I see these things, I feel that he is deliberately targeting us. But I have never figured out that you are his favorite.
Hua Ling’s son, why does he insist on having trouble with us?”
Yun Shang sighed: "Now that I hear what you say, I feel that he just has trouble getting along with me. He always wants to squeeze people around you, and he even used Bao'er and me to choke me during the day.
"
Luo Qingyan reached out and touched Yun Shang's hair, and said with a smile: "I've made you feel wronged."
"It's not an grievance. You are now his most valued son, and you are the Emperor of Xia. It is normal for him to worry about your heirs." The corners of Yun Shang's mouth were slightly raised, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
The two returned to Weiyang Palace and saw Qianliu and Qianzui waiting at the door. When they saw the figures of Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan appearing in front of them, they hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Empress, it's okay.
Right? Is the Supreme Emperor trying to embarrass His Majesty and the Empress?"
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Isn't this good? What about you? Are you scared?"
Qian Zhui nodded, bit his lip and said: "No, the Supreme Emperor just arrested everyone. As soon as they entered the Weiyang Palace, he ordered the secret guards to keep an eye on them and not allow anyone to come in or out, even our secret guards.
There is no way to convey the news to the outside world, so I am afraid that you will suddenly come back..."
"How can your master be so stupid? When we saw how quiet the palace was, we felt something was wrong." Yun Shang said with a smile: "It's late at night and I'm a little tired. I went to get hot water and wash up early.
Let’s take a rest.”
Qian Zui wanted to say something else, but Qian Liu pulled her back and quickly changed her words: "Yes."
Early the next morning, Yun Shang woke up a little late. As soon as she woke up, she heard Qian Zui say: "Madam, your Majesty sent a letter earlier, saying that Prince Xian has entered the palace, and asked Madam to send someone if she wakes up.
Report to the meeting hall."
Yun Shang was slightly stunned. She had never thought that Liu Yinfeng would come so early. The news yesterday probably had a big impact on him, and he probably had to stay up all night.
"I know, you can send someone to the meeting hall to announce that I'm up." Yun Shang responded softly.
Qian Zui responded, and Yun Shang got up, dressed and made up. She had just had breakfast when she saw Luo Qingyan and Liu Yinfeng entering the gate of Weiyang Palace.
Yun Shang stood up with a smile, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Xian."
Liu Yinfeng met with Yun Shang, and Yun Shang ordered someone to pour tea for him. Fang smiled and said, "Prince Xian is entering the palace today. Can you go to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor?" (To be continued)
