Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 522 Anger and Struggle

As soon as Yun Shang's words fell, almost everyone's faces changed. Qin Yi also opened her mouth wide, raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, and then glanced at Xia Huanyu's expression of indiscernibility, her eyes widened. It was so big that it was hard to hide the surprise in his eyes.

"Princess Rui, do you know what you're talking about?" Xia Huanyu's voice was cold, accompanied by the night wind and drizzle, Yun Shang felt that the cloak on her body could hardly resist the severe cold.

Yun Chang bit her lips and laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, and her voice was tinged with coldness: "My wife naturally knows, but my wife can't help it, I want to ask Ask Your Majesty these questions, why?"

Xia Huanyu didn't answer for a long time. The sound of rain falling and the sound of the night wind blowing and turning the leaves sounded in the originally silent night, but around Xia Huanyu, it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was very clear.

It seemed that after a long time, Yunshang heard Xia Huanyu laugh quietly: "Okay, since you asked such a question, and since you want to know why, I will tell you why." He glanced at Yunshang again, his eyes were full of indifference, "Go back to Tai Chi Hall."

Xia Huanyu had already turned to leave, Yun Chang turned her head to look at the mottled red palace wall, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was also a bit cold. The hand was held by someone, and there was warmth from the other hand, Yun Chang turned her head to look at Qin Yi, Qin Yi smiled and said in a low voice: "Princess, don't be afraid. Beside the princess."

It turned out that Qin Yi thought she was afraid, and a warm current surged in her heart, Yun Shang also smiled at Qin Yi, and said lightly: "Let's go."

When the two arrived at the Taiji Hall, Xia Huanyu had just entered the hall. Yun Chang followed Xia Huanyu, walked in, and saw Liu Wen'an took off Xia Huanyu's cloak and hung it aside, poured a cup of tea and put it on the imperial table.

Xia Huanyu walked to the dragon chair and sat down, his eyes fell on Yunshang, and his voice carried a bit of undisguised anger: "Kneel down."

Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, and Fang realized that Xia Huanyu was talking to her, so he quickly knelt down, but there was a bit of arrogance in his eyes.

"Who told you those words just now? Who told you that the matter of Prince Rui's residence was done by a widow?" Xia Huanyu frowned and asked.

Yunshang laughed, "No one told my wife, I just inferred it myself." Yunshang raised her head and looked at Xia Huanyu without avoiding it. Seeing that Xia Huanyu had no intention of speaking, she said softly : "When the incident happened that day, it was the time of the banquet in the palace, and the minister's wife was in the palace. Therefore, the minister's wife knew that the person behind the scenes must be a familiar person. And the minister's wife did not mention it. After entering the mansion that day, the minister's wife found something in the corridor, which was a ribbon. The courtier's wife often walked around the palace, and recognized it at a glance. At that time, the minister's wife was a little puzzled, the mansion must be cleaned every day, and there were no future people in the palace that day, why did such a thing appear?"

"So you suspect that you have fallen in love with the widow?" Xia Huanyu looked at Yunshang lightly, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

Yun Chang lowered her head, shook her head, smiled and said: "It's not enough. Later in the meeting hall, Mr. Li showed his wife that another thing was found in the mansion. It was a piece of fabric. The dark lines on the fabric, It also makes the minister feel that she has seen it somewhere, but the minister can't remember it until the day the minister came out of the meeting hall and met the commander of the hidden guard beside His Majesty..."

Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, with a bit of indifference in her eyes: "I just found out that the pattern on the cloth is exactly the same as the pattern on the clothes under the armor of the commander of the dark guards."

The smile on the corner of Yun Shang's mouth was also a little pale, "Later, many details came to mind in my wife's mind. First of all, my wife found that although Prince Rui's mansion was chaotic that day, there were very few signs of fighting. If we really met an assassin, there are quite a few hidden guards in Prince Rui's residence, and they must not be vegetarians, it is impossible that there are no traces of fighting."

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and then continued: "The courtier also found that there should be about 220 people who stayed in the mansion that night, and 137 people died, and most of them died. The old people in the prince's mansion before. At first, the courtier's wife thought that the prince had discovered the assassins and asked them to evacuate. But after thinking about it carefully, the courtier's wife felt that something was wrong. The assassins usually came in surprise attacks, but they disappeared together Yes, besides the hidden guards, there are also cooks, maids, and even servants who clean the courtyard. If it is really an assassin, how can we have time to avoid all these people?"

"The only possibility is that the prince knows who the mastermind behind the scenes is, and deliberately avoids it first. It may also be that the people behind the scenes are afraid that the prince will be angry, and allow the prince to take these people away safely. I understand that there are not many people who can make the prince do this. Even the courtiers can be sure that there are only two possibilities, one is you, Your Majesty, and the other is Hua Guogong. Combining the front and back, I discovered some things , let the ministers know, it must be His Majesty." Yun Shang's voice became more and more calm.

"Heh..." Xia Huanyu laughed softly, but the laughter made people feel a little cold in his heart, "You are really a smart person, but these few things make you suspect that you have fallen in love with me."

When Yun Shang heard the words, she laughed, with a bit of brilliance in her smile, "My wife not only knows that His Majesty did what happened to Prince Rui's residence, but also knows why His Majesty did this."

After a short pause, Yunshang opened her mouth again: "My wife heard that the Yelang Kingdom was in trouble, and His Majesty ordered the Seventh Prince and General Su Ruhai to lead troops to Lingxi City. At that time, His Majesty announced that it was an army of 500,000. However, my wife received the news yesterday that the number of soldiers gathered outside Lingxi City was less than 200,000 at most. My wife has also been on the battlefield, so she naturally knows the reality of the battlefield, but she knows even more. It's just reporting false numbers to deter the enemy, and the gap won't be so big."

"Your Majesty wants the prince to lead a surprise attack from Cangnan City, destroy the Yelang defense line, and go straight to Yelang country, so as to relieve the crisis in Lingxi. And your majesty was afraid that the prince would disagree, so he took advantage of the fact that his wife had not yet When she recovered, she took the courtier's wife into the palace. In a daze, the courtier's wife became a hostage for His Majesty to threaten the prince." Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, with a bit of undisguised dismay in her eyes. Yue, "Your Majesty's tactic of deceiving the world and crossing the sea is indeed very effective, but you can't treat people's lives like this!"

Xia Huanyu heard Yun Shang's stern accusation, but smiled faintly: "Today you have given many crimes to the widow, disregarding human life, committing a murder in Prince Rui's residence, using you as a hostage to threaten Prince Rui, favoring Concubine Shen Shu , favoring the Seven Kings. Although I don’t know, how did you find out these news, but I understand the first three, but I don’t know how to get the last one?”

Yun Shang sneered, and looked at Xia Huanyu, "Concubine Shen Shu committed such a serious crime, but His Majesty only put her in the cold palace and protected her with heavy guards. Isn't this partiality? Concubine Shen Shu and Mrs. Xian together with the seventh prince In private, and there is something tricky in Wuyan Palace, Concubine Shen Shu and Mrs. Xian are definitely not in Wuyan Palace tonight, but after hearing that the assassin entered Wuyan Palace, His Majesty organized the ministers to let people go in and search. Does that mean His Majesty knows about it? Knowing about it but still indulging it, isn’t this partial favor?”

Seeing that there was still a smile on Xia Huanyu's lips, Yun Shang listened earnestly, and a surge of anger surged in her heart, and then continued: "As for the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince colluded with Cangjue Qingsu and Li Jingyan to use Princess Huajing to kill him. Prince, doesn’t Your Majesty know? Pretending to be ill and secretly forming a party with the officials of the court for personal gain, Your Majesty doesn’t know? Assassinate Prince Rui, Your Majesty doesn’t know? Now he’s even colluding with Cangjue Qingsu to overthrow Xia Kingdom, His Majesty doesn’t know? His Majesty is kept in the dark about things that all women know, since His Majesty knows everything, but blindly indulges, isn't this connivance?"

Yun Shang scolded Xia Huanyu for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, the hall was terribly quiet, Liu Wen'an lowered her head, Qin Yi's face was full of shock, but Xia Huanyu just looked at Yun indifferently Chang, the brilliance in his eyes changed, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ning Yunshang, do you know that just based on what you said just now, the widow can sentence you to death." Xia Huanyu's voice was calm, and his eyes were fixed on Yunshang.

Yun Shang heard the words and laughed quietly. There was a little presumptuousness in her smile, but she was also very relaxed: "Since my wife came to Xia Kingdom, I have never spoken so presumptuously. I am really happy. However, Your Majesty How could he punish the minister's wife to death? After all, now that Yelang soldiers are approaching the city of Lingxi, Su Ruhai is an idiot who can only talk on paper, and the seventh prince is secretly colluding with Yelang Kingdom. Isn't it just to deal with the Yelang Kingdom? If something happens to the minister's wife, the prince will be furious, and then the Xia Kingdom will be in danger."

Xia Huanyu burst out laughing when he heard the words, and after laughing for a long time, Xia Huanyu said: "Do you believe it or not, even if a widow kills you in this palace today, there will be no rumors about this Tai Chi?" temple."

Xia Huanyu smiled, and Yunshang also smiled, with a bit of confidence in his smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to gamble with my wife? If my wife doesn't come out of this Tai Chi Hall by myself in the early morning tomorrow, before tomorrow evening, my wife The news of being secretly killed by His Majesty in the palace will spread throughout Jincheng and the ten surrounding cities. Within five days, it will spread to every corner of Xia Kingdom, and will reach the ears of the prince without any hindrance, no matter where the prince is. where."

Yunshang thought, if Xia Huanyu had never been threatened like this in her life, she felt extremely happy in her heart. After a long while, Yunshang heard Xia Huanyu sneer, and tapped the table lightly with her hand. Then he said softly: "Ning Yunshang, I have underestimated you after all, and I have underestimated your influence in Prince Rui's heart. I never thought that you would discover the truth of the matter so quickly, and dare to fight with you so quickly. The widow speaks. Before the widow did these things, I never thought that Prince Rui would be unwilling to obey the widow's arrangement, and would only go to Cangnan after seeing you leave the palace."\u003c
