Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Cao Shanxiu bent down and knelt on the ground, Yun Chang couldn't see the expression on her face, but her body trembled slightly, whether it was fear or anger.

Yunshang smiled with her hands behind her back, and said softly: "I ordered the secret guards to search the palace secretly while you were away, and let Qianliu wet your and Shiwu's clothes on purpose, in order to find the exact identity as soon as possible. Evidence, I will understand this matter sooner. I shouldn't have made such a bad plan, but I don't like to always guess wildly, and the most taboo is to be betrayed. Cao Shanxiu, what do you want to say?"

Cao Shanxiu lowered her head and gave a wry smile, and after a while she asked in a very soft voice: "Since you know about Shiwu's meeting with the cloth merchant, I'm afraid you have already sent someone to intercept the merchant, right?"

Yun Chang nodded, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Of course, I won't let him enter Yangliu Town. I'm afraid that the concubine's plan will come to nothing."

Cao Shanxiu raised her eyes, but her eyes were completely calm: "Could it be that the empress thinks that if the cloth merchant is stopped, the Supreme Emperor will execute the Seventh Prince?"

Yun Chang's eyes fell on Cao Shanxiu, and she pondered for a moment before saying: "The Supreme Emperor is kind, but I am not soft-hearted. If the Supreme Emperor refuses to let go, I am very willing to help the Supreme Emperor. The empress dowager feels that I am If Gong wants Xia Houjing's life, who else can protect him?"

However, Cao Shanxiu got down, as if with a bit of sarcasm: "Your Majesty will not do it either. Madam, you know why the Seventh Prince is clearly not the Supreme Emperor's biological son, but the Supreme Emperor tolerates him everywhere, no matter how big a mistake he has made. The incident was only a small punishment, and never hurt the life of the Seventh Prince. Your Majesty knows that if His Majesty wants to stabilize the world, he must not attack the Seventh Prince. The Empress felt that the Seventh Prince had an incident before and the Yelang Kingdom attacked. Is it the biggest crisis of the Xia Kingdom? Your empress is wrong, if something happens to the Seventh Prince, then the crisis of the Xia Kingdom will really come."

Cao Shanxiu's voice became more and more high-pitched, with a sneer on her lips: "I'm afraid the empress doesn't know that the Supreme Emperor has done everything possible to protect the Seventh Prince in order to stabilize the country of Xia. Even, over the years, the concubine twice Going in and out of the cold palace, but still saving his life, it is because the concubine has something in his hands that the emperor has always wanted. However, the concubine will not give it to him. The concubine feels that it is time for the emperor to borrow something. It's back. It's time to return this country to the real owner."

Yun Shang didn't know what Cao Shanxiu was talking about, but she just vaguely felt that there was a huge secret involved in it, a secret about the country of Xia.

Blood flashed in Yun Chang's eyes, and she stretched out her hand as fast as lightning, and instantly grabbed Cao Shanxiu's neck.

"Ms. Cao's plausible ability is beyond my reach. It's so mysterious, maybe I can come up with something to convince me?" Yun Shang's eyes were full of coldness, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. Squinting, looking at Cao Shanxiu.

Cao Shanxiu was taken aback, and there was a little sweat on her forehead, but she still clenched her teeth, with a sarcastic smile on her face: "It's unexpected that the empress is so skilled. Does the empress think that If you catch the cloth merchant, will you get rid of a future problem? Then you can sit back and relax? The empress, the concubine has been in the harem for more than 20 years, and recently she has dealt with the empress a lot. I have never dared to underestimate the empress, the cloth merchant is just a bait. Although the concubine does not study much, she is not as proficient in the art of war as the empress, but she still knows a little bit about it."

Cao Shanxiu's face was already flushed, and she even found it difficult to speak.

Yun Shang sneered: "Oh, then I will wait and see, but I don't know if the concubine can wait until then."

Cao Shanxiu swallowed with some difficulty, then blushed and forced a smile and said: "Why should the empress become angry from embarrassment? The concubine advises the empress that now is not the time to kill the concubine. If the concubine is gone, the empress will definitely die." Will regret it."

Yun Chang smiled, and threw Cao Shanxiu out suddenly. Cao Shanxiu fell on the stool behind her, hit the stool with her waist, rolled off the stool again, and got up from the ground after a while.

Yun Chang snorted coldly, then raised her voice and said: "Come here, I had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Cao Taibi, and I ordered someone to clean up a room in the side hall and put Mrs. Cao inside."

Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo hurriedly responded, and carried Cao Shanxiu out of the inner hall.

Yun Chang looked at Princess Fifteen who was trembling all over, paused for a long time, and then said: "Princess Fifteen lives with Weiyang Palace, take her into the firewood room."

Peilan responded, called Qinghao, and dragged Princess Fifteen towards the door. The fifteenth princess was so frightened that tears ran down her face, and she hurriedly shouted: "I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

Yun Chang looked at him with a cold face, but didn't speak.

Not long after, Qianliu and Qianjufang walked in and replied: "Your Majesty, you have already been brought to the side hall. The hidden guards are closely guarding them, and there are also hidden guards in the hall to take care of you. Nothing will happen."

Yun Shang nodded lightly, her mind echoed Cao Shanxiu's words over and over again, she was not without doubts, according to Cao Shanxiu's meaning, Xia Huanyu favored Xia Houjing not because he was the son of Xia Chun and Cao Wenxi, It's just because he is afraid of Xia Houjing and dare not touch him.

There is a secret hidden in Xia Houjing's body, but only Cao Wenxi knows that secret. However, now Cao Wenxi probably ordered someone to bring that secret to Yangliu Town, intending to tell Xia Houjing.

That secret must involve that position in the Tai Chi Hall, and if Xia Houjing knew that secret, he might be able to directly seek that country.

What kind of secret is that? Xia Huanyu has been in power for thirty years, but he has never found it, and has always been afraid of it. That secret is mostly related to Xia Chun and Cao Wenxi, and Liu Yinfeng is also the son of Xia Chun and Cao Wenxi, and now he is in Yangliu Town, will there be any changes?

Yun Chang's mind was a little confused, and there was a wave of ups and downs. She originally thought that Cao Shanxiu wanted to rescue Cao Shanxiu because Xia Houjing was Cao Wenxi's child. But I didn't want to, there was something else hidden behind this incident.

Looking at Yunshang's expression lightly, he comforted softly: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. The servant feels that this matter is probably made up by Mrs. Cao in order to survive. How can there be such a magical thing in this world? Isn't it a joke to overthrow the world with one secret and one thing?"

Yun Chang rubbed her hands lightly, with a serious expression on her face, and after a while she said softly: "I can still tell if it's true or not."

In fact, deep down in her heart, she believed Cao Shanxiu's words. After all, Xia Huanyu's behavior was too strange, and it was fine to just blindly favor him before. Yun Shang only thought that it was because Xia Houjing was Xia Chun's son that he repeatedly showed mercy. But this time, Xia Huanyu clearly knew that Xia Houjing's rebellion, if it happened, would endanger Luo Qingyan's life. Luo Qingyan is the son of Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling, and Yunshang has clearly captured Xia Houjing, and she also promised that Xia Huanyu would keep Xia Houjing alive. If it's just about brotherhood, with Xia Huanyu's temperament, as long as Yunshang doesn't kill Xia Houjing, he shouldn't have any opinions.

After all, children of siblings are no match for parents and children.

However, Xia Huanyu unexpectedly took Xia Houjing away from Yunshang.

Yun Shang has never understood why Xia Huanyu is like this. If it is what Cao Shanxiu said, there will be an explanation for Xia Huanyu's recent abnormalities.

"Whether it's true or not, I have to make Cao Shanxiu tell the truth." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly and gritted her teeth.

Qian Zhuo responded softly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this interrogation of others is a skill of the secret guard. Cao Shanxiu is just a woman, so it's no problem."

But Yun Shang shook her head: "Don't talk too much, our secret guards are really good at interrogating. But if it's true what Cao Shanxiu said, she holds a secret related to the country and the country, the Supreme Emperor will definitely not let it go lightly, I guess So, there must be something about her that makes the Supreme Emperor afraid to kill her, but interrogation will definitely not be less, but since she has kept that secret until today, I am afraid that all kinds of interrogation methods will be useless to her She just needs to be sure that we dare not kill her, even if we carry it to death, we won't say anything."

Qianliu saw that Yunshang's complexion was not good, Fang pondered for a moment, and asked softly, "What can you do, my lady?"

Yun Chang bit her lip, and walked back and forth in the room several times before saying: "We don't interrogate, we only attack her heart. Princess Fifteen is her daughter, no matter how hard-hearted she is, it is absolutely impossible Completely disregarding your own daughter. Tomorrow, you will go to the sky prison to find some death row prisoners, and then look for people who have similar parts to the fifteenth princess. One finger today, one ear tomorrow, every day One thing, send it to Cao Taipin, and cook it in front of her for her to eat."

Qianzhuo and Qianliu were a little startled when they heard what Yunshang said. Yun Shang stretched out her hand to hold the cup on the table, her face was frosted, full of indifference: "Since she dared to betray and threaten Ben Gong, don't blame Ben Gong for being cruel."

Qianzhuo and Qianliu hurriedly lowered their heads and were about to respond, when they heard Luo Qingyan's voice from outside the door: "Why are you so cruel? Our empress is so virtuous and virtuous, how can anyone say you are cruel and merciless."

Yun Chang waved Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo to retreat, and then stepped forward to take the cloak from Luo Qingyan's body.

Luo Qingyan saw that Yunshang's expression was not very good, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

Yun Shang had no choice but to tell Luo Qingyan what Cao Shanxiu had just said, and Luo Qingyan fell silent after hearing the words, and said for a long time: "I will send a letter from my side to the Supreme Emperor. If you cheat, you will kill Cao Shanxiu."
