Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 820 The Dust Settles

The hall was silent for a long time.

"I've heard of Tian Guang's technique of carving objects in jade without destroying the integrity of the jade itself, but I've never seen it before." Someone opened his mouth, and others echoed.

The old man in plain clothes smiled coldly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Luo Qingyan turned around and glanced at Xia Huanyu, but Xia Huanyu's face was also very calm, looking at the jade seal on the tray without blinking.

Liu Wen'an stepped forward to take Yuxi over, lifted it up, and faced the light coming in from the door, he saw that there was indeed a faint projection of a flying dragon in the white jade.

"There is a flying dragon, there really is a flying dragon." The pot exploded in the hall, and everyone's eyes fell on the faintly floating dragon in the jade seal. Luo Qingyan saw that the complexion of the commoner old man suddenly changed, with surprise, suspicion, and puzzlement in his eyes.

"Such a unique carving technique is hard to achieve in this world except Tian Guang. I heard that although Tian Guang has taken in several apprentices, no one has learned his technique. Today, I can see that it is really three I am lucky." Someone was still feeling emotional.

But the old man in common clothes suddenly said: "Fake, this jade seal is fake." He wanted to rush forward to grab the jade seal, but Liu Wen'an's body 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 taken aback for a moment, but hurriedly said: "If you don't take him down, talk nonsense and disturb the court."

The old man in common clothes was still pale, and he took out a box from the baggage behind him, with a fierce look on his face, he said loudly: "I also have a jade seal here, it is real, you can also take it Identification, 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 the words fell, someone sneered: "This jade is clearly just Nanyang jade. Are you deceiving us that we don't understand jade? Although Nanyang jade is also a high-quality jade, it has been less than a hundred years since it was discovered. For more than two hundred years, how can you use Nanyang jade to make jade seals?"

Hearing the words, the old man took the jade seal in his hand and looked up, down, left, and right for a while, then rushed out of the crowd again, held the jade seal and looked at the light for a long time, but his face became paler and paler: "How could this be? How could this be?" ?”

After a while, he turned his head abruptly, pointed at Xia Huanyu and said, "It's you, it must be you, you replaced Yuxi."

Xia Huanyu sneered: "You are talking nonsense, this person is out of his mind, he carved a jade seal privately, and faked an imperial decree. His crime is irreparable. He will be dragged out and executed immediately."

The guard responded, rushed in, pulled the old man and walked out, but the old man still held the jade seal tightly in his hand, and his voice became louder: "Xia Huanyu, you killed your father and brother, and took your sister-in-law. 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 also looked a bit tired, and said lightly: "Ji Chengjun was also deceived about today's matter, so he will not pursue this matter. It's just that I will make a rule in the future, and all imperial edicts will be accompanied by my side Director Liu personally delivered it, if it wasn’t for the imperial decree sent by Director Liu, the first thing you do after receiving it is to go to the palace to check the authenticity of the imperial decree. If similar things happen again, we will never tolerate it.”

Everyone quickly knelt down to accept the decree, Luo said softly, "Let's retreat."

"Farewell to Your Majesty." The voices of the officials rang out in the Taiji Hall, Luo Qingyan rubbed his forehead, and entered the side hall with Xia Huanyu.

In the side hall, only Yunshang was sitting in the hall alone, flipping through a book in his hand, raised his eyes when he heard footsteps, and looked over when he saw Luo whispering, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Just now Hearing that the main hall is extremely lively, I feel like going to see how the situation is going, I think everything is under control."

Luo Qingyan nodded lightly, walked to Yunshang and sat down: "Why are you alone?"

Yun Chang smiled, closed the book in his hand, and put it down, Fang Ying said: "Something happened earlier, someone tried to rob Cao Wenxi while we were all in the Tai Chi Hall. I let Qian Liu go It was dealt with, 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 was caused by the father, it should be handed over to the father. They can't save Cao Wenxi, Cao Wenxi, the daughter-in-law will be handed over to the father." .”

Xia Huanyu's eyes fell on Yunshang, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay."

Yunshang smiled, but there was a bit of curiosity in her eyes: "I have heard a lot about what happened in the palace just now, but I have some questions, and I want to ask my father to answer my questions. .”

Before Xia Huanyu could answer, Yun Shang had already opened his mouth: "According to the situation in the palace just now, the jade seal that His Majesty took out must be the real jade seal. However, the jade seal that was originally used was a fake jade seal, which is true. How did the father find the real jade seal and get it out of Cao Wenxi's hand?"

Xia Huanyu's eyes flickered slightly, and Fang smiled and said: "There is nothing complicated about this matter. I went to see Cao Wenxi yesterday and told Cao Wenxi that I will tell Cao Wenxi, who was an old minister when Emperor Wenzong was here, They all invited back to Jincheng because they knew how to identify jade seals. I told her about the flying dragon that could be seen in the real jade seal. With her suspicious nature, she will definitely try her best to pass the news on. Go out and order someone to check. At that time, the jade seal held by her subordinates was real..."

Yun Shang was even more puzzled when she heard the words, the real jade seal was in the hands of Cao Wenxi 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 courtiers invited, there are some who used to work with Cao She sent someone to take the jade seal to ask that person. I sent secret guards to guard the man's house in advance, and used some methods to quietly exchange the jade seal." Xia Huanyu looked calm and authentic.

"The method Steward Cao obtained to identify the real and fake jade seals is a fake one. If the fake jade seals can be matched one by one, he will naturally still think that the jade seal in his hand is real."

When Yun Shang heard the words, she suddenly realized, with a look of admiration in her eyes, she smiled, turned to look at Luo and said lightly: "As the saying goes, Jiang is still old and hot, and the father is so stiff when Li Daitao is so stiff. But it’s very exciting.”

Qianliu and Qianzhuo hurried in from the outside, walked up to Yunshang and saluted, "Your Majesty, everything has been dealt with, Cao Wenxi is fine."

Yun Shang nodded lightly, smiled and said: "So, Cao Wenxi will be handed over to the emperor. I will go back to Weiyang Palace with Qingyan, Qianliu, take the Supreme Emperor to the private prison."

Qianliu quickly responded, and Yunshang took Luo Qingyan's hand out of the side hall. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Xia Huanyu's voice coming from behind: "Xiahoujing is being imprisoned in the princess mansion in Tai'an. Deal with it."

Yun Chang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, no wonder she hadn't been able to find out where Xia Houjing was. Ever since Princess Tai'an's plan made her and Bao'er trapped in the ice cellar, Princess Tai'an escaped from Jincheng, and the Princess Mansion was vacant, and no one dared to set foot there easily. Xia Huanyu actually imprisoned Xia Houjing in Princess Tai'an's mansion, which really moved a lot of thoughts.

It's just that Luo Qingyan said before that he already knew where Xia Houjing was being held. But Xia Huanyu didn't do them any harm, so he wouldn't touch Xia Houjing. Now that Xia Huanyu took the initiative to hand Xia Houjing over to them, that meant naturally that he let them handle it.

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan exchanged a look, then both laughed, lifted their feet out of the side hall, and the two walked towards Weiyang Palace together.

The harem had also just experienced a fierce battle, and there were hidden guards and bodyguards cleaning up and down everywhere.

The concubines and concubines in the other palaces are all human beings. Although they don't know what happened, they also understand that something must have happened in the palace. They all hide in their own palaces and no one is walking around.

"Today can be regarded as Cao Wenxi's end. I'm afraid I've put all my chips on it and exhausted all my efforts. From the appearance of the fake jade seal, to the confrontation between Steward Cao and me being framed, At the end of the dispute between true and false jade seals, and then exhausted all hidden forces to come to her rescue. Step by step, they are closely linked, but in the end there is still a little difference." Yun Shang smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up. stand up.

Luo Qingyan nodded, and stretched out his hand to touch Yunshang's head: "Do you know that you surprised me before, and I was still thinking, all the hidden guards around you are the best, how could it be so easy?" Then something happened. Fortunately, the hidden guard quietly passed on the news to me..."

Yun Chang blinked, her eyes full of slyness: "I didn't let the hidden guards in, I just wanted to see what they were trying to do."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Yunshang, his eyes were full of seriousness: "Always put yourself in a dangerous situation, Ning Yunshang, your habit is really bad. Well, if I don't change it, I will definitely be angry."

Yun Chang stuck out her tongue, restrained the smile on her face, nodded seriously, and agreed: "I know, it will never be like this in the future."

Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yunshang, and he sighed softly: "If you can believe your words, it's not you. But you have to remember that you are now a wife and mother, and you are no longer alone. Don't be so willful anymore."

Yun Shang nodded again and again, and turned away from the conversation: "Now Xia Houjing can be regarded as eliminated, and the war has been settled. His Majesty said before that the enthronement ceremony will be held when the war is settled, but he also said that he wants to take the throne. Leave it to Liu Yinfeng, what does His Majesty want to do next?"
