Xia Huanyu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said: "Yes, what happened to Concubine Liu was something I did deliberately. It was because I had just found out about Cao Wenxi at that time, and Cao Wenxi used some tricks to keep it secret.
Support Xia Houjing. I sang this in order to cut off my thoughts about her. However, even though Xia Houjing is not my biological child, he grew up under my knees. Those so-called favors are not all fake.
.If Xiahou Jing'an is peaceful, his love will not be cut off, but his temperament is somewhat similar to that of his mother."
"If that's the case, then why didn't your father tell us directly? Instead, it made us suspicious for no reason." Luo Qingyan turned his eyes and looked at the waves blown by the wind on the lake.
Xia Huanyu laughed: "Firstly, this matter is indeed a bit difficult to talk about, and I was the one who caused it, so I believe I can solve it on my own. Secondly, after you entered the palace, the Queen left with Cao Wenxi
I have to be a little close. The queen is suspicious of me and will show it more or less in front of Cao Wenxi. Only in this way can it affect Cao Wenxi's judgment. Cao Wenxi is an extremely smart woman. If I tell her straight,
I'm afraid the queen can't do so well in front of Cao Wenxi."
"Tomorrow..." Luo Qingyan asked.
Xia Huanyu waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about tomorrow. Just rest assured, I will never hurt you."
Luo Qingyan was not worried about this matter. After pondering for a long time, he sighed lightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards Xia Huanyu, and turned around to leave the pavilion.
"Thank you Queen for me." Xia Huanyu's voice came from behind, with a bit of awkwardness.
Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at Xia Huanyu with some confusion: "Thank you Chang'er? Why did you thank her?"
Xia Huanyu lowered his head, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Go and ask her, she is indeed a good wife, but if she really can't produce children for Xia Guo, I will not agree to it no matter what.
.”
Luo Qingyan frowned slightly and looked a little colder: "If my father insists on doing this, then I will not agree to it." After Luo Qingyan said this, he turned around and left without looking back.
When she returned to Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang was sitting on the soft couch in the inner hall, holding an embroidery support in one hand and an embroidery needle in the other. Her head was looking at the needlework that kept going back and forth in Qin Yi's hand.
, his brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with distress.
Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing: "Hey, I didn't see the sun coming out of the west just now?"
Qinyi quickly stood up and saluted, but Yun Shang just snorted coldly, put the embroidery support in his hand aside, curled his lips and said: "I can take silver needles, and it's okay to kill people with this silver needle."
It's easy, but why is it so difficult to embroider some flowers?"
Luo Qingyan sat down next to her with a smile, looked over at the tangled needle and thread in her hand, and couldn't help laughing again: "Why did you suddenly think of embroidery?"
Yun Shang rolled her eyes and sighed: "It's nothing, I was just thinking that I haven't embroidered a piece of clothing for Bao'er or a sachet for you for so long, so I suddenly wanted to do it, but I didn't expect it.
, why is it so difficult?”
Qinyi leaned over and collected the needle and thread used by Yun Shang, arranged it carefully, and showed it to Yun Shang with a smile: "Here, it's untied. I'm just not familiar with it yet. It will be better if you use it more."
"Leave it alone, it's not difficult to look at this trick. I'll poke it when I have nothing to do." Yun Shang waved his hand and said casually.
Qinyi put the needle and thread next to Yun Shang again.
Luo Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "What is this embroidered on? I am indeed missing a sachet."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glared at him: "I have never seen you wearing a sachet, and I have indeed rarely seen warriors wearing sachets. I must have thought that wearing this thing on the body would make it easier to move.
That’s why.”
"That's because he has been on the battlefield all year round. Now there should be one in this palace." Luo Qingyan murmured.
Qin Yi stood aside, but couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, saluted the two of them, and then retreated.
Luo Qingyan put her arms around Yun Shang's shoulders and looked at Yun Shang's profile: "Just now, Xia Huanyu asked me to say thank you to you, but I don't know when you did something to actually ask him to say thank you to you.
Thank you."
Yun Shang's hand that was about to hold the teacup paused slightly, then took it back, and then said calmly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that before Liu Yinfeng went to Yangliu Town, I chatted with him and unintentionally learned something about the past.
Old things. Those old things have nothing to do with us, so I gave him a favor, but now it seems that although he said he was grateful, what he did was..." Yun Shang shook his head and said with a smile.
Clearly displeased.
Luo Qingyan lowered his eyes, with a bit of contemplation in his eyes, and then said after a while: "What is that old story about?"
Yun Shang didn't know why Luo Qingyan cared so much about this matter, so she responded softly: "Liu Yinfeng said that when Xia Chun knew that his time was running out, he wrote a letter and wanted Liu Yinfeng to hand it over to Xia Chun.
Huanyu. However, after Xia Chun gave the letter to Liu Yinfeng, he seemed to regret it again and asked Liu Yinfeng to wait. He then placed the letter somewhere in the old house in Yangliu Town. Last time
When he returned to Yangliu Town, he remembered this and opened the letter and read it. What was written in the letter was that Xia Chun entrusted the country to Xia Huanyu. The last time he went to Yangliu Town should be the fall of the Liu family.
Later, although he read the contents of the letter, he felt resentful because of Liu's incident, so he did not bring the things back to Jincheng."
Luo Qingyan's mind moved slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed and lowered his voice: "He actually told you all these things."
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this, reached out and tapped Luo Qingyan's forehead, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is so sour. Although Liu Yinfeng seems to have a high reputation in Jincheng and has many supporters, but because of the previous
He has always been a commoner, and it is not suitable for him to get too close to the courtiers' family. In fact, he has almost no friends who can express his true feelings."
"In this Jincheng, there are quite a few young and talented women with good families. The virtuous king, his concubine, and his concubines are all vacant. He doesn't even have a concubine. It's time to choose a princess for him." Luo Qing said lightly.
typical.
Yun Shang laughed when she heard this, stretched out her little finger, blinked and said, "Your mind is so small."
After a pause, he continued: "What happened to Cao Wenxi is a big blow to Liu Yinfeng. I can't even say those words to comfort you. I feel that Liu Yinfeng is actually the same."
What a poor man." Yun Shang lowered his head and picked up the tea cup.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. You hurried over. Did you hear what Xia Huanyu and Cao Wenxi said?" Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan shook his head: "No."
"Then what did you talk about with him?" Yun Shang took a sip of tea with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
"Xia Huanyu just kept giving instructions, saying that Cao Wenxi's matter should be left to him, so that we don't need to worry about it. This matter started with him and should be ended by him." Luo Qingyan stood up: "I agree.
.”
Yun Shang frowned slightly, and then said after a while: "Tomorrow is the ten-day limit mentioned by Cao Wenxi. Xia Huanyu tried every means to see Cao Wenxi, but did not release her. Could it be that he has already prepared a response?
What's the plan?"
"The evidence in Cao Wenxi's hands is ironclad, and the crime is not trivial. Even if the information you gave him might be able to clear him of the crime of killing his father and brother, the information here is of no use at all.
, I don’t know how he will deal with it." Luo Qingyan straightened his sleeves, his voice calm and calm.
Yun Shang put down the tea cup, looked at Luo Qingyan's expression, and said with a smile: "Are you not worried at all? After all, if Xia Huanyu loses this battle, the situation in the DPRK and China will definitely be affected and cause great turmoil."
"What's the use of worrying? Of course I've already made all preparations." Luo Qingyan said calmly: "Although the problem cannot be completely solved, there is no big problem in protecting the dynasty from major shocks."
"That's good." Yun Shangfu picked up the tea cup again, took a sip of tea, and then frowned and said: "Xia Houjing..."
"I already know his current hiding place." Luo Qingyan secretly clenched his hands in his sleeves, "If nothing else happens, I will give Xia Huanyu some face for the time being and will not take the initiative to touch him. If anything happens,
If there is any accident, he will definitely not survive."
"That's how it should be." Yun Shang murmured softly: "Now that everything is ready, let's wait and see a good show tomorrow."
"Your Majesty." The sound of drinking came from outside. Yun Shang put down her tea cup and responded in a loud voice: "Come in."
The sound of the bead curtain crashing was heard, and Yun Shang raised his head and looked at Qianzui. Qianzui held a few rouge-colored hibiscus flowers in his hand and saluted Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang: "I have just been in the royal palace.
While I was picking flowers in the garden, the secret guard came quietly to report that in the past two days, I saw many courtiers in Jincheng who were Emperor Wenzong's reign."
"Those courtiers are getting older. Although most of them retired to the mountains and forests before, it is only natural for people to return to Jincheng to take care of themselves." Yun Shang responded softly, taking the embroidery support and needle thread in her hand to play with.
Qian Zui saw that Yun Shang didn't take this matter to heart, so he continued: "If it was just one person, it would be reasonable. However, the secret guard had already seen several people, all of whom were courtiers during Emperor Wenzong's time.
, and the official positions are not low. Those courtiers resigned and returned home one after another after Xia Huanyu came to the throne, and now several of them have returned, I am afraid it is not a coincidence."
Yun Shang paused slightly while playing with the needle and thread, then raised her eyes to look at Qian Zui: "How many people are there?"
Qian Zui nodded, stood up and put the hibiscus flowers in his hands into the vase. Fang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "The list of those people the secret guard has seen and their original identities have been checked.
Find out clearly and ask your Majesty to take a look." (To be continued)
