Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Cao Shanxiu bit her lips, sighed softly, and then slowly opened her mouth: "When the concubine was young, my father was sent to the city of Yangcai to serve as the magistrate. Because my mother was not in good health, my mother and I didn't follow her immediately. Let's go together. Before I was ten years old, I lived in the Cao Mansion, and I had a very good relationship with the eldest sister Cao Wenxi. After I was ten years old, I went to Yanghuai City. My sister married very well."

"Later, the news of the emperor's ascension to the throne reached Huacai City, and he was taken aback. Within a few days, the eldest sister came here with her family, but no matter how my father and I asked, they refused to say that what happened in Jincheng What. My father placed them in a small town called Yangliu Town among the acacia trees, and the family lived in Yangliu Town for about two or three years. Later, the brother-in-law in the lobby got sick for some reason, and it became more and more serious. The hall sister discussed with my father for a long time in the study, and after my father came out of the study, he let me enter the palace for draft."

Cao Shanxiu had tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said: "I only know that the Supreme Emperor has taken the throne of the brother-in-law in the hall, and even ordered to kill so many people in the Cao family. , but my father made up his mind, I finally entered the palace, but I didn't want to fight for favor. Not long after I entered the palace, the eldest sister suddenly appeared in the palace, and she was pregnant. She told me everything, pretending to be a servant After staying in the Luoxue Pavilion, two months later, the child was born. The child was taken away just after birth, and the eldest sister jumped into the well to follow her brother-in-law before the child was full moon."

Yun Shang lightly tapped on the table, a little impatiently: "I know all these things, including Liu Yinfeng and the Seventh Prince are the children of Cao Wenxi and Xia Chun, I would like to ask a few questions."

Cao Shanxiu lowered her head, a look of surprise seemed to flash in her eyes, she pondered for a moment, and then nodded lightly: "Excuse me, my lady."

Yun Chang sat up straight and said, "Why did you end up in the cold palace back then?"

Cao Shanxiu smiled wryly, and responded softly: "Because Concubine Liu suddenly suspected the life experience of the Seventh Prince for some reason, she secretly ordered people to investigate everywhere, but was discovered by the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was afraid that she would eventually find the concubine, so he searched for it." He put the concubine into limbo from the beginning, and even sealed Luoxue Pavilion."

Yun Chang was startled, Concubine Liu suspected Xia Houjing's life experience? Could it be...

"Is Concubine Liu's death related to this?" Yunshang narrowed her eyes and asked hastily.

Cao Shanxiu thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "The concubine entered the cold palace, one day Concubine Liu suddenly broke in, holding fifteen, holding a sword across fifteen's neck, and asked the concubine before Who is that pot-bellied servant who lives in Luoxue Pavilion? However, before the concubine could answer, the Supreme Emperor hurried over and took Concubine Liu away. After a few days, news of Concubine Liu's death came .”

"How did you change your identity and become Cao Guiren later?" Yun Shang said indifferently.

"After a few years, the concubine heard that the people in the palace had changed a lot, so she thought of a way to send a letter to His Majesty, begging His Majesty, and His Majesty issued an order to pardon all the concubines in the Leng Palace. In the hand of Su Ruji, there are many concubines who are rivals with Su Ruji. When the concubine was in the Luoxue Pavilion, no one noticed the concubine. The concubine was placed in the Qinxin Palace, and later sent someone to register At that time, the concubine's father had already been transferred to Huaiyin to serve as the general judge, so many people forgot..." Cao Shanxiu lowered her head and responded softly.

"You and Li Fuhua..." In order to take care of Cao Shanxiu's emotions, Yun Shang deliberately did not finish her sentence.

Cao Shanxiu gave a wry smile, bit her lips and said, "Your majesty has always been regarded as a treasure by your majesty, I am afraid that you have never experienced the days when even the little maids looked down on you? It is said that this palace is the most prosperous place in the world, but In this most prosperous place, the lowly concubine once lived for a few months by eating leftovers from other palace maids. Su Ruji is not a benevolent person, and the Supreme Emperor doesn’t care much about the affairs of the harem. We unfavored concubines have been trampled upon. One day, the concubine was cold and hungry, and collapsed, and the maids around her panicked, and ran to see His Majesty, and met Li Fuhua on the way."

"Li Fuhua followed the maid to the palace, and the concubine watched him take off the clothes on the concubine, and raped the concubine with her hands. The concubine hated her, but she didn't have the slightest strength to resist. Later, after he left, he was sent I brought the food and clothes. The empress knows that sometimes, in order to survive, people can bear any kind of insult. The concubine has fifteen princesses. I hope I can watch her grow up and marry a good family. Don't swallow the pain."

Yun Shang blinked, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes: "How did you know that Ben Gong was investigating what happened back then?"

"Because I accidentally heard that someone was asking about Luoxue Pavilion, and later I heard that Yuqin from the Huanyi Bureau was transferred to the Shangyi Bureau. The concubine got closer to Concubine Liu because of her cousin and Xiao Shizi. It is knowing that Yuqin used to be the maid who served Concubine Liu personally. The concubine guesses that someone must be investigating what happened back then, but I don't know who it is..." Cao Shanxiu said in a low voice.

"So you took the opportunity to kill Li Fuhua to test it?" Yun Shang lightly stroked the coral bracelet on her wrist, with a somewhat dangerous tone in her voice.

Cao Shanxiu nodded lightly: "The concubine knows all the women in this palace are very well-informed. After knowing that someone is investigating, she copied the portrait of the big lady and put it in the Luoxue Pavilion. It will spread, as long as someone is investigating that matter, they will definitely take action."

"How did you kill Li Fuhua?" Yun Chang leaned back quietly, leaning on the chair, her eyes were scrutinized and thoughtful.

"It's not as difficult as I imagined to kill him. After he escaped from the inner guard that day, he sent someone to send a message, asking me to go to Luoxue Pavilion at night, and the concubine put a drug on his body. After he fell into a coma, the concubine then Together with the palace maid, they carried him and threw him into the well." Cao Shanxiu's voice was extremely calm, but it was difficult to conceal the hatred in her heart.

After Cao Shanxiu left, Yun Changfang stood up, walked to the window and opened it.

"My maidservant always thinks that Mrs. Cao is a little strange. The empress just cheated at will, and she said everything thoroughly like a bean. Is there a fraud?" Qianzhuo frowned, with a gleam in her eyes. He hesitated a little.

Yun Chang smiled, turned around and walked to the desk, took the ink stick by herself, poured some tea into the inkstone and began to grind the ink: "It's not strange, but she asked me for something. But she must know more than this, presumably It's also hidden from me. But it doesn't matter..."

Yun Chang put down the ink stick, picked up the pen, took out the paper, and wrote three people on the paper: Cao Taibi, Li Taifei, and Shangyiju Yu Nian.

Qian Zhuo looked at the three people on the paper, with some doubts in his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want to?"

Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "The first two are people who want something from me, and both of them have means. Now I have just started in this harem, and I can't support it alone. These two are excellent! chess piece. And this Yu Nian..."

Yun Shang recalled what Concubine Li had said to her before: "It's a fool's errand."

The only advantage of the wall grass is that as long as the benefits are enough, she can be used by you. Just don't trust her.

"Didn't the empress want to start with the eunuch Qi, the inner guard?" Qianzhuo blinked and looked at Yunshang.

Yun Shang laughed: "Qi Ruihai is very good, he is a smart person, but if he has too much obsession in his heart, he needs to be on guard more than grass on the wall. For him, I am not in a hurry."

Yun Shang drew a circle on the names of those three people, "That's all they are."

Yunshang threw the pen in his hand aside, and then laughed: "Since I entered the palace, I have seldom interacted with the concubines and concubines in each palace. It just so happens that the weather is getting warmer. When the spring color in the imperial garden is a little thicker, let's hold a spring feast."

Qianzhuo quickly responded, and Yunshang said again: "I don't have much experience in these banquets, so I ordered Concubine Li and Cao Taibi to assist me in holding them together."

Qianzhuo knows that Yunshang must have a plan, and the spring banquet is just a pretext, I am afraid that Yunshang is planning to use this banquet to clean up all the people who should be cleaned up. Qianzhuo thought to himself, and quickly responded with a smile.

Yun Chang thought for a while, and then asked, "Is Hua'er in Chengye's room?"

Qian Zhuo responded: "Since the last time the little prince got angry and had a nosebleed, after the empress ordered Chen Miaosi not to get close to the little prince, the maid asked Hua'er to watch in the little prince's room."

Yun Chang nodded lightly, and remained silent for a long time before saying: "If I want to clean the harem thoroughly, we still don't have enough people, and places like Shangyi Bureau and Imperial Hospital need some people who can specialize. Letter out of the palace, ask Ning Qian to help me find some people like this and send them to the palace."

Qianzhuo answered all of them one by one, and saw that Yunshang had nothing else to order, so he withdrew.

Yunshang took a book from the bookshelf to read. Since she figured it out, Yunshang ordered people to find a lot of medical books. When she had nothing to do, she looked at it with medical skills, and she always hoped to find a good one. The way to heal Bao'er is to heal yourself.

After not reading much, Liu Wen'an asked to see him outside the hall. Yun Shang ordered someone to lead him in. Seeing a long box in Liu Wen'an's hand, he smiled and said, "What is this?"

Liu Wen'an smiled and said: "This is a tribute presented by the local officials. It is a qin. Although it is a new-made qin, it is absolutely top-grade. Your Majesty said that the empress will definitely like it, so he ordered the slaves to rush over to the empress. .”

A softness flashed in Yunshang's eyes, she stood up, walked to Liu Wen'an and opened the long box, inside lay a qin quietly, the qin was in the shape of pearls, bright in color, with dark patterns of plum blossoms. Yun Chang stretched out her hand to fiddle with it, and the tone was also unparalleled.

Yun Shang laughed: "It's indeed a good piano, let's put it on the piano table."

Although there is a piano table in Yunshang Hall, but there is no favorite piano on it, but Luo Qingyan also notices it. \u003c
