"I have heard of Tian Guang's technique of carving objects into jade without destroying the integrity of the jade itself, but I have never seen it." Someone spoke, and others agreed.
The old man in cloth clothes smiled coldly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.
Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at Xia Huanyu, only to see that Xia Huanyu's face was also very calm, and he was looking at the jade seal placed in the tray without blinking.
Liu Wen'an stepped forward to take the jade seal, raised it up, and looked at the light coming from the door, and saw that the white jade actually reflected the appearance of a flying dragon.
"There is a flying dragon, there really is a flying dragon." The palace suddenly exploded, and everyone's eyes fell on the flying dragon faintly emerging from the jade seal. But Luo Qingyan saw that the expression of the old man in cloth suddenly changed.
, with surprise, suspicion, and confusion in his eyes.
"Such a unique carving technique, it is very difficult for anyone in this world except Tian Guang to achieve it. I heard that although Tian Guang has several apprentices, no one has learned his skill. I saw it today, and it is really three
I'm lucky to be born." Some people were still sighing.
But the old man in cloth clothes suddenly said: "It's fake, this jade seal is fake." After saying that, he rushed forward to grab the jade seal. Liu Wen'an moved slightly, but he was already far away, his figure was like a ghost.
No one saw how he did it.
Luo Qingyan was also stunned, but hurriedly spoke: "If you haven't captured the person yet, you are talking nonsense and disturbing the court."
The old man in cloth clothes was still pale, and he took out a box from the baggage behind him. With a stern look on his face, he said loudly: "I also have a jade seal here, which is real. You can also take it.
Identify, this is the real jade seal."
As the old man spoke, he hurriedly took the jade seal out of the box and rushed into the crowd: "Look, this is the real jade seal."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone sneered: "This jade is clearly just Nanyang jade. Are you trying to trick us into not understanding jade? Although Nanyang jade is also a fine jade, it has only been less than a hundred years since its discovery.
How can you use Nanyang jade to make a jade seal after more than two hundred years?"
When the old man heard this, he held the jade seal in his hand and looked up, down, left and right for a long time, then rushed out of the crowd, held the jade seal and looked at the light for a long time, but his face became paler and paler: "How could this happen? How could this happen?
?”
After a long while, he suddenly turned his head, pointed at Xia Huanyu and said: "It's you, it must be you, you replaced the jade seal."
Xia Huanyu sneered: "You are talking nonsense. This person is mentally disturbed. He carved jade seals privately and faked imperial edicts. His crime is irredeemable. He will be dragged out and sentenced to quartering with five horses. He will be executed immediately."
The guard responded, rushed in, pulled the old man and walked out. The old man still held the jade seal tightly in his hand, and his voice became much louder: "Xia Huanyu, you killed your father and brother, and took possession of your sister-in-law. Your crime is
Not redeemable."
Luo Qingyan frowned slightly, and the guard had already taken a piece of cloth, stuffed it into the old man's mouth, and pulled him out of the Tai Chi Hall.
Luo Qingyan looked a little tired and said calmly: "Ji Chengjun was also deceived about today's matter, so the matter will not be pursued. It's just that I have made a rule in the future. All imperial edicts are to be carried out by my side.
Manager Liu personally delivered it. If it had not been the imperial edict sent by Manager Liu, the first thing you would do after receiving it would be to go to the palace to verify the authenticity of the edict. If something like this happens again, we will never tolerate it."
Everyone hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and Luo Qingyan said in a clear voice: "Retreat from the court."
"Your Majesty." The voices of the officials rang out in the Tai Chi Hall. Luo Qingyan rubbed his forehead and entered the side hall with Xia Huanyu.
In the side hall, Yun Shang was the only one sitting in the hall, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw it was Luo Qingyan, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Just now
I heard that the main hall was very lively, so I wanted to go and see what the situation was like, I think everything is under control."
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, walked to Yun Shang and sat down: "Why are you alone?"
Yun Shang smiled, closed the book in his hand and put it down. Fang responded: "Something happened earlier. Someone wanted to kidnap Cao Wenxi while we were all in Tai Chi Hall. I asked Qian Liu to go
I went to deal with it, but I was afraid that something would happen here, so I waited here."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Xia Huanyu: "Since this matter started because of my father, it should be left to the father to deal with it. They couldn't save Cao Wenxi, so Cao Wenxi's daughter-in-law was left to the father to deal with it.
."
Xia Huanyu's eyes fell on Yun Shang, he pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay."
Yun Shang smiled, but there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes: "I have heard a lot about what happened in the palace just now, but I have some questions and want to ask my father to clarify them.
."
Before Xia Huanyu could answer, Yun Chang had already spoken: "According to the situation in the palace just now, the jade seal your Majesty took out must be the real jade seal. However, the original jade seal used was a fake jade seal, so this matter is true.
How did my father find the real jade seal and find it from Cao Wenxi?"
Xia Huanyu's eyes flashed slightly, and Fang smiled and said: "There is nothing complicated about this matter. Yesterday I went to see Cao Wenxi and told Cao Wenxi that I would send the old minister who had been there when Emperor Wenzong was here.
We all invited them back to Jincheng because they knew how to identify jade seals. I told her about the flying dragon that can be seen in real jade seals by looking at the light. With her suspicious temperament, she will definitely try her best to pass on the news.
Go out and order someone to check. The jade seal her men were holding at that time was actually genuine..."
When Yun Shang heard this, she became even more confused. The real jade seal was in Cao Wenxi's hands yesterday. Why did the jade seal return to the palace overnight?
"The people in her hands have verified that there is a flying dragon in the jade seal. Cao Wenxi will definitely think that there must be more than one way to identify the real jade seal. Among the old officials invited, there are some who have worked with Cao before.
She sent someone to take the jade seal and ask that person. I sent secret guards to guard the person's house in advance, and used some methods to quietly exchange the jade seal back."
Xia Huanyu looked calm and authentic.
"The method that Butler Cao obtained to identify real and fake jade seals is fake. The fake jade seals can be matched one by one. Naturally, he will still think that the jade seal in his hand is real."
Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly realized, with a look of admiration in his eyes, he smiled, turned around and looked at Luo Qing and said: "As the saying goes, ginger is still hotter when it is old. When my father makes Li Daitao stiff like this,
But it’s very exciting.”
Qianliu and Qianzui hurriedly ran in from outside, walked to Yun Shang and saluted: "Mother, everything has been dealt with. Cao Wenxi is fine."
Yun Shang gently nodded, smiled and said: "In this case, Cao Wenxi will be handed over to the father. I will go back to Weiyang Palace with Qingyan. Qianliu, you take the Supreme Emperor to the private prison."
Qianliu responded quickly, and Yun Shang took Luo Qingyan's hand and walked out of the side hall. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Xia Huanyu's voice coming from behind: "Xia Houjing is being held in the princess's mansion in Tai'an. You can go on your own."
Deal with it."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan. No wonder she had not been able to find out where Xia Houjing was. Ever since Princess Tai'an planned to trap her and Bao'er in the ice cellar, Princess Tai'an escaped from Jincheng.
The mansion was empty, and no one would dare to set foot there easily. Xia Huanyu actually imprisoned Xia Houjing in Princess Tai'an's mansion, which really put a lot of thought into it.
But Luo Qingyan had said before that he already knew where Xia Houjing was being held. However, if Xia Huanyu did not harm them, he would not touch Xia Houjing. Now it is Xia Huanyu who takes the initiative to hand over Xia Houjing to them.
, which naturally means to let them handle it.
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan exchanged a look, then they both laughed, walked out of the side hall, and walked towards Weiyang Palace together.
The harem had also just experienced a fierce battle, and there were secret guards and guards everywhere cleaning up.
The concubines and concubines in the other palaces were all human beings. Although they didn't know what happened, they also understood that something must have happened in the palace. They were all hiding in their own palaces and no one was walking around.
"Today is the end for Cao Wenxi. I'm afraid I have put all my chips on it and tried my best. From the appearance of the fake jade seal, to the confrontation with Butler Cao in the palace, to the fact that I was framed,
At the end of the battle between the real and fake jade seals, all the hidden forces were used to come to rescue her. Step by step, they were all connected, but in the end they were still a little short of each other." Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
stand up.
Luo Qingyan nodded and reached out to touch Yun Shang's head: "Did you know that you scared me earlier? I was still thinking, all the secret guards around you are the best, how could it be so easy?
Something happened. Fortunately, the secret guard secretly conveyed the news to me later..."
Yun Shang blinked, his eyes full of cunning: "I didn't let the secret guards in. I just wanted to see what they wanted to do."
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he stopped and turned around to look at Yun Shang, with a serious look in his eyes: "Always putting yourself in dangerous situations, Ning Yunshang, your habit is really bad.
Okay, if you don’t change it, I will definitely be angry.”
Yun Shang stuck out her tongue, suppressed the smile on her face, nodded seriously, and responded: "I understand, and I will never be like this again."
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yun Shang and sighed softly: "If your words can be believed, it is not you anymore. But you have to remember that you are now a wife and mother, and you are no longer alone. You can't
Don’t be so willful anymore.”
Yun Shang nodded repeatedly and changed the topic: "Now that Xia Houjing has been eliminated, the war has calmed down. His Majesty said before that the enthronement ceremony will be held when the war calms down. However, he also said that he wanted to take over the throne.
Leave it to Liu Yinfeng, what does Your Majesty want to do next?" (To be continued)
