Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 818: True and False

The communication sound rang three times from far to near, and the faces of the people in the hall were all different, the old man in commoner clothes also seemed a little surprised, and his face sank. In the entire Tai Chi Hall, the calmest one seemed to be Luo Qingyan.

Yun Chang was wearing a rouge-colored long skirt, the hem of the skirt was dragging to the floor, her hair was in a slightly messy bun, and the originally upright phoenix hairpin was also crooked, and her expression was barely calm. Qianzhuo followed not far behind her, his face pale.

Yun Chang walked unhurriedly, staring at Luo Qingyan standing in front of the dragon chair, walked to the front of the main hall, stopped three or four steps away from the steps, and slowly knelt down towards Luo Qingyan. He said lightly and made a salute: "The concubine pays homage to His Majesty."

Luo Qingyan's expression moved slightly, 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 Huaixiu Palace to diagnose the pulse of the Nineteenth Prince. And then disappeared, when did it happen?"

Yunshang's lips trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Luo Qingyan, with a look of horror in her eyes: "It is true, after my concubine entered Huaixiu Palace, I saw the nineteenth prince covering two beds. The quilt, with a pale complexion, looked not very good. The concubine asked Qian Zhuo to take the hand of the nineteenth prince out of the quilt, and to check the pulse of the nineteenth prince. Zhuo then screamed, saying that his body was a little limp and his head was a little dizzy, and as soon as he finished speaking, he passed out. The concubine was startled, and was about to step forward to check the situation, but the same thing happened to him. Symptoms, and passed out."

"Chenqie and Qianjue were simply drugged, and both Chenqie and Qianzhuo were martial arts practitioners, so after a while, they woke up. After waking up, Chenqie found that we were imprisoned together In the dark room, the person who attacked us must have not expected that we would wake up so quickly, so there were not too many guards guarding us. Chen Qie and Qian Jue took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards and disposed of the guards. Fang escaped. After the concubine escaped from the dark room, she found that she was...was..." Yun Shang bit her lip, but did not continue.

"Where is it?" Luo Qingyan frowned slightly, his eyes sharp.

Yun Chang lowered her eyes, but she interrupted the conversation, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is all right now, I just saw that the imperial guards are still searching around, your majesty can order to withdraw the imperial guards."

There was a bit of anxiety on the face of Xiaozhuo on the side, and he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this servant knows where the servant and the empress woke up just now."

As soon as Qianzhuo's words fell, Yunshang sternly reprimanded: "Qianzhuo!"

Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a bit of coldness on his body: "Oh? Where is it?"

Qian Zhuo hurriedly kowtowed, and said loudly: "It's in the Taihe Palace, in the dark room of the Taishang Emperor's study in the Taihe Palace. When the slaves woke up earlier, they heard the Taishang ordered the guards to take care of them." The people in the dark room said that the empress is too smart to know about Yuxi and Cao Wenxi. Although the empress does not talk nonsense for the sake of her majesty, she has to prevent her from leaking. The best way Just lock her up and let her out after the wind has passed. Besides, there is another woman locked in the dark room, and the servants know that she is..."

"Come on, pull out the person who pretends to be the empress and the empress's personal maid!" Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingyan interrupted her and raised her voice.

Qianzhuo was stunned when he heard the words, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, what the servant girl said is absolutely true..."

Yun Chang, who was kneeling in the hall, also had a stunned expression on her face, as if she couldn't believe it, and shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty..."

But the old man in civilian clothes laughed: "In order to cover up the sins of the Supreme Emperor, is your majesty not even willing to let go of his first wife? That's right, the beauty of the country, after all, the country is more important than the beauty. But, even the maids around the empress Having said that, Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor think that our civil and military ministers are blind and deaf. It is difficult for the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty to explain today's affairs clearly. I am afraid that I agree. I will not agree. If the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty have no ghosts in their hearts, they might as well take out the jade seal and let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discern whether it is true or not!"

Yun Chang in the palace heard the words, bit her lips, her complexion was pale, she stood up after a while and said: "Since Your Majesty is ruthless, don't blame the courtiers and concubines for not being careless. This palace knows about it. The jade seal is fake. The emperor seized it back then. After winning the throne, I didn't get the real jade seal at all. As a last resort, I had to engrave a fake jade seal temporarily. The fake jade seal was rushed too fast and had flaws. 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 only need to look closely to distinguish the authenticity from the fake one. I heard from the palace that Mr. Meng of the Hanlin Academy had seen the real jade seal before. How dare your Majesty take that jade seal? Take it out and show Master Meng."

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar all over the court, and after the uproar, the hall was completely silent again.

At this moment, a gentle yet majestic voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What kind of drama is this singing?"

Everyone's eyes were attracted by that voice, but they were all stunned: "How come there are two empresses?"

The woman standing outside the door has the same appearance as the kneeling queen in the palace, but the clothes are different. The woman outside the palace is wearing a dark red robe, the phoenix crown on her head is shining brightly, and there is a faint smile on her face. meaning.

Qian Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, was also a little dazed, raised her eyes to look at the clothes of the queen kneeling beside her, and then glanced at the queen who was approaching the door step by step.

Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yun Chang who was walking slowly, and his indifferent face suddenly softened a little, he lifted his foot and went down the steps, and went up, without hiding the worried look in his eyes: "Shang Son, are you okay?"

Yun Shang smiled slightly, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I just went back to Weiyang Palace to change clothes, so I came a little late, but I didn't want to, and almost missed such a big show."

All the civil and military men in the whole dynasty were confused, their eyes shuttled back and forth between the two people who looked exactly the same, but they didn't know which one to believe.

Luo Qingyan helped the one who came later 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 straightened his waist, and said coldly: "Your Majesty thought that if you delay in finding such a person who turns into a concubine and comes here to perform on stage, you can wipe away your true desires." Extinct?"

Before Luo Qingyan could speak, the woman wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on the phoenix seat had already spoken: "Concubine Wan's disguise is not bad, and today's play is really wonderful, but it's a pity Concubine Wan, before she decided to poison this palace, she forgot to inquire about it, and she didn't even know that this palace is invulnerable to all poisons."

Yun Chang's eyes fell on the old man in the palace again, and smiled slightly: "The identity of this old man was reported to the palace by the secret guard just a quarter of an hour ago. The head of the Cao family, the housekeeper next to Mr. Cao. Cao’s family was robbed and beheaded. The housekeeper Cao escaped by counting the business for Mr. Cao outside. He has always wanted to avenge his family. Over the years, he has done so. Lots of things."

"Back then, Cao's power was in the hands of the people, and the harem had secretly placed many people for him to use in order to better control the government. Concubine Wan's father was a personal servant of Master Cao back then. After the Supreme Emperor succeeded to the throne, Knowing that if the Cao family is not eliminated, the government will be difficult to clean up, so taking advantage of the Cao family's unpreparedness, the whole family of the Cao family was executed. In order to avenge the Cao family and revive the prestige of the Cao family, Concubine Wan's father sent his The daughter was sent to the palace. However, Cao’s death in the past was a serious blow. After so many years of planning, he never found the right time to take revenge. The Cao clan of the Cao clan panicked, as the time passed, the hope of revenge would become more and more slim, so they planned this real and fake jade seal, accusing the Supreme Emperor of killing his father and brother to seize the throne." Yun Shang hooked Curling the corner of her mouth, she turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan and Xia Huanyu.

"It's just that if the crime of murdering father and brother is just based on a handwritten letter from His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Wise King, it may be difficult to convince the public. However, it is easy to prove the innocence of this matter. Concubine I thought that Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor might as well take out the jade seal to identify it. However, most of the ministers in the court today are the Supreme Emperor or newly promoted by His Majesty, and I am afraid they don’t know what the real jade seal is. It looks good. Han Mingqing of the Hanlin Academy is a veteran of the three dynasties, but I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the public with just one family’s words.” Yunshang muttered to herself in a faint voice.

Hearing the words, Han Mingqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Empress, if you talk about the veterans of the three dynasties, I will know how many of them are there. They have just returned to Jincheng to take care of themselves. It is also very famous, 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 proven." Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the old man in civilian clothes: "Butler Cao, isn't your purpose today not for this? Do you think this is good?"

"The Queen's words, can you decide?" The housekeeper Cao snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain on his face, but the hand hanging by his side was holding his clothes tightly.

Yun Shang turned her head to look at Xia Huanyu, Xia Huanyu pondered for a moment, then Fang nodded and said, "Let's pass it on."

Luo Qingyan then turned around and ordered Liu Wen'an: "Go and ask Lord Han to write down the names and addresses of the adults, and send the imperial guards to invite the adults here."
