The transmission sound rang three times from far to near, and everyone in the hall had different expressions. The old man in cloth also seemed a little surprised, and his expression darkened. The calmest person in the entire Tai Chi Hall seemed to be Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang was wearing a rouge-colored long skirt. The hem of the skirt was touching the floor. Her bun was slightly messy. The originally upright phoenix hairpin was also crooked, but her expression could barely be considered calm. Qian Zui followed her not far behind.
,Pale.
Yun Shang walked leisurely, looking directly at Luo Qingyan who was standing in front of the dragon chair. He walked to the front of the hall, stopped three or four steps away from the steps, and slowly knelt down and faced Luo Qingyan.
He bowed lightly and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Luo Qingyan's expression moved slightly, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Fang raised his eyes and said, "Just now, Qianliu from your palace came to report that you were invited by Concubine Wan to the Huaixiu Palace to diagnose the pulse of the Nineteenth Prince.
Then he disappeared, when exactly did it happen?"
Yun Shang's lips trembled slightly. She raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Qingyan, with a hint of horror in her eyes: "It's true. After I entered the Huaixiu Palace, I saw the Nineteenth Prince covering two beds.
The quilt, with a pale complexion, looked like something was not going well. I asked Qianzui to take the Nineteenth Prince's hand out of the quilt and diagnose the Nineteenth Prince's pulse. As soon as he started to diagnose the pulse, Qianzuo who was following the concubine
Zui then screamed in surprise, saying that his body was a little weak and his head was a little dizzy. As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted. My concubine was startled and was about to go forward to check the situation, but the same thing happened to her.
Symptoms, he fainted."
"Simply, what Chen Concubine and Qian Zui were given was just drug, and both Chen Concubine and Qian Zui were martial arts practitioners, so they woke up not long after. After waking up, Chen Concubine found that we were being held captive in a
We were in a dark room. The person who did it must not have expected that we would wake up so quickly, so there were not many guards guarding us. I and Qianzuo took advantage of the guards' unpreparedness and dealt with them.
Fang escaped. After I escaped from the dark room, I found that I was...in..." Yun Shang bit her lip and did not continue.
"Where?" Luo Qingyan frowned slightly, his eyes a little sharp.
Yun Shang lowered her eyes, but suddenly interrupted her conversation, saying in a low voice: "My concubine is no longer in harm's way. I just saw that the Imperial Guards are searching everywhere. Your Majesty can issue an order to withdraw the Imperial Guards."
Qian Zuo, who was standing next to him, had a somewhat anxious look on his face. He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I know where I woke up with the Queen just now."
As soon as Qian Zui finished speaking, Yun Shang sternly scolded: "Qian Zui!"
Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a bit of coldness exuding from his body: "Oh? Where is it?"
Qianzuo kowtowed quickly and said loudly: "It's in the Palace of Taihe, in the dark room in the study of the Supreme Emperor. When the servant woke up earlier, he heard the Supreme Emperor ordering the guards to keep an eye on him.
The people in the dark room said that the Queen was too smart and knew about Yuxi and Cao Wenxi. Although the Queen would not talk nonsense for the sake of His Majesty's empire, they had to prevent her from spilling the beans. The best way was to prevent her from spilling the beans.
Just lock her up, wait for the news to pass, and then release her. Moreover, there is another woman locked in the dark room, and the slave knows that she is..."
"Come here, pull out this person who is pretending to be the Queen and the Queen's personal maid!" Before Qian Zui could finish her words, Luo Qingyan interrupted her and raised her voice.
Qian Zui was startled when he heard the words, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true..."
Yun Shang, who was kneeling in the hall, also had a look of astonishment on his face, as if in disbelief, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty..."
But the old man in civilian clothes beside him laughed: "In order to cover up the sins of the Supreme Emperor, your Majesty is not even willing to let go of his first wife? That's right, country and beauty, after all, country is more important than beauty. But, even the maids beside the Queen are more important than beauty.
Having said this, Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor think that we, the civil and military ministers in the palace, are blind and deaf. The Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty cannot explain today's events clearly. I am afraid that I agree. The civil and military ministers of this court and the people of the world also
I won’t agree. If the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty have no evil intentions, they might as well take out the jade seal and let the civil and military officials of the court identify it to see if it is true or false!"
Yun Shang in the palace bit her lip when she heard this, her face turned pale. After a while, she stood up and said: "Since your majesty is ruthless, don't blame me for being careless. I know what happened. The jade seal is fake. The emperor took it away back then.
After he got the throne, he didn't get a real jade seal at all, so he had no choice but to carve a fake jade seal on the fly. The fake jade seal was made in a hurry and there were flaws, so the Supreme Emperor said it was accidentally broken. I have seen the fake jade seal before.
The jade used is completely different from the real jade seal. Although it looks similar, you can tell whether it is genuine or fake just by looking closely. I heard that Master Meng of the Hanlin Academy has seen a real jade seal before. Does your majesty dare to use that jade seal?
Take it out and show it to Lord Meng."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court was in an uproar. After the uproar, there was silence in the palace.
At this moment, a gentle, yet majestic voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What kind of drama are you singing here?"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the voice, but they were all stunned: "How come there are two queens?"
The woman standing outside the door has the same appearance as the queen kneeling in the palace, but her clothes are different. The woman outside the palace is wearing a dark red robe, with a shining phoenix crown on her head, and a faint smile on her face.
meaning.
Qianliu, who was kneeling on the ground, was also a little confused. He raised his eyes and looked at the clothes of the queen kneeling beside him, and then looked at the queen who was approaching the door step by step.
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yun Shang who was walking slowly, and his somewhat cold face suddenly softened a little. He walked down the steps and walked up to her, not hiding the worried look in his eyes: "Shang
Son, are you okay?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly, shook her head and said: "Nothing, I just went back to Weiyang Palace to change clothes, so I came a little late. I didn't want to, but I almost missed such a big show."
Everyone in the civil and military court was confused, their eyes flickering back and forth between two people who looked exactly the same, but they didn't know which one to believe.
Luo Qingyan helped the person who came after him up the steps and sat down on the chair next to the dragon chair.
The man kneeling in the hall looked a little pale, but he straightened his waist and said coldly: "Your Majesty thought that by delaying time and finding such a person to disguise himself as a concubine and come here to sing on the stage, he would be able to wipe out his true desires.
Destroy it?"
Before Luo Qingyan could speak, the woman wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on the phoenix seat had already spoken: "Wan Taifei's skill in disguise is not bad, and she sang the opera very well today, but it's a pity.
, before Concubine Wan decided to poison me, she forgot to inquire about it for a long time, and she didn’t even know that I am immune to all poisons."
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the old man in cloth clothes in the palace again, and he smiled slightly and said: "The identity of this old man was reported to me by the secret guard just a quarter of an hour ago. He is from a prosperous family during the reign of Emperor Wenzong.
The steward of the Cao family, Mr. Cao. When the Cao family was raided and executed, Mr. Cao managed to escape because he was out checking the business for Mr. Cao. He has always wanted to avenge his master's family. Over the years, he has done so.
A lot of things.”
"Back then, the Cao family was in power, and many people in the harem and the front court were secretly placed for his use in order to better control the government. Concubine Wan's father was a personal servant of Mr. Cao back then. After the emperor succeeded to the throne,
, knowing well that the government would be difficult to clean up if the Cao family was not eliminated, so he took advantage of the Cao family's unpreparedness and executed all the Cao family members. In order to avenge the Cao family and revive the Cao family's prestige, Concubine Wan's father killed his own family.
The daughter was sent to the palace. However, the Cao family's death was a serious blow. After so many years of planning, they never found the right time to take revenge. However, they did not want the Supreme Emperor to be strong, so he passed the throne to His Majesty. The remaining
The Cao family panicked. As time went by, the hope of revenge would become slimmer, so they planned the real and fake jade seal, accusing the Supreme Emperor of killing his father and brother to seize the throne." Yun Chang hooked up.
He curled his lips and turned around to look at Luo Qingyan and Xia Huanyu.
"It's just that if we only rely on a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a word from His Highness the Wise King for the crime of patricide and brother murder, it would be difficult to convince the public. However, it is easy to prove innocence in this matter. Concubine
I thought that His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor might as well take out the jade seal and identify it. However, most of the ministers in the court are either the Supreme Emperor or newly promoted by His Majesty. I am afraid they don’t know what the real Jade Seal is.
Looks like Han Mingqing from the Hanlin Academy is a veteran of three dynasties, but I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone with just one family's words." Yun Shang murmured to himself in a light voice.
Hearing this, Han Mingqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Empress, if we talk about the veterans of the three dynasties, how many of them will we know? They have just returned to Jincheng to take care of themselves. These adults were in the court at that time.
It also has a very high reputation, so you might as well invite them to come to this hall to identify the jade seal."
"Since there are several adults, it should be possible to prove it." Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the old man in civilian clothes: "Steward Cao, isn't this your purpose today? Isn't this good?"
"What do you mean by the Queen's words?" Butler Cao snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain on his face, but his hands hanging by his sides tightened his clothes.
Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Pass it on."
Luo Qingyan turned around and ordered Liu Wen'an: "Go and ask Mr. Han to write down the names and residences of the adults, and send the Imperial Guard to invite the adults." (To be continued)
