Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Yun Shang blinked, but Xiao Shujin who was on the side laughed: "After your grandfather returned to the imperial city, he told Chen Xi that you didn't understand the letter he wrote. Chen Xi was still lost for a while because of this, and then You have worked hard to get better, and you have been practicing calligraphy all day long, but you are still always reprimanded by your grandfather."

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and raised her hand to touch Chen Xi's head: "Grandfather lied to you, just wanting you to study and practice calligraphy with him."

Chen Xi opened her eyes wide in surprise, raised her eyes to look at Yunshang, and then at Xiao Shujin, Fang cried out "Aww", clapped his hands on his knees and said, "Grandfather is so bad, so bad!"

This appearance made Yunshang and Concubine Jin couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xi was annoyed for a while, then turned her head to look at Yun Shang again, blinking, with a bit of cunning in her eyes: "Sister, I heard that my grandfather taught my sister when she was a child, did my grandfather lie to my sister like this?"

Yun Shang shook her head, and seeing Chen Xi's depressed look, she smiled again and said, "It's probably because my sister is much more honest than Chen Xi. My grandfather asked my sister to read books and my sister just read them, and I asked my sister to write, so my grandfather didn't criticize her very much." I."

"Oh." Chen Xi curled her lips, lowered her head and sighed for a while, before saying, "That's all, everyone has their own aspirations and everyone has their own aspirations."

Seeing that he looked like a little adult, Yun Shang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing again.

Back in the palace, Yunshang ordered the guards to send the salute of Emperor Ning and his party to the post station first, and brought Emperor Ning and the others into the palace. The family talked for a while. They were all a little tired, so they asked the guards to take them back to the station for a rest.

Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan returned to the Weiyang Palace, Luo Qingyan said softly: "Looking at the look on the emperor's brother, it seems that he wants to swallow me alive."

Yun Chang blinked, but was a little surprised: "Is there? Why didn't I see it?"

Luo Qingyan slightly pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm afraid I saw that you and I have a good relationship today, and it's inconvenient to show it in front of you, so they all quietly winked for me to see." After finishing speaking, he waved his hands again and said, "Brother Huang deserves to be angry with me, that's all, by the way, Cao Shanxiu, have you been put in a private prison?"

Yun Shang nodded and replied: "Yes, I feel that the father, mother and concubine are now in Jincheng and often enter the palace. It is inevitable that they will walk around in this Weiyang Palace. It is not good if they see it. You I am the only one in the palace, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any such inner palace battles, and I'm afraid they don't want me to interfere too much in these matters."

"Yes." Luo said softly, lowering his eyes, eyes full of thought.

Speaking of Cao Shanxiu, Yun Chang felt a little helpless: "This Cao Shanxiu will not be soft and hard, and I am afraid it will not be easy to pry the truth out of her mouth. Recently, I have been interrogated by hidden guards. The secret guards who specialize in interrogation are all the best at this kind of thing, but Cao Shanxiu bumped into an iron plate. I'm still thinking about getting up early tomorrow, before my father, queen and concubine enter the palace. On this occasion, I will go to the private prison to see Cao Shanxiu, I haven't seen her for a few days."

Luo Qingyan nodded lightly: "The letter to Liu Cang has been sent to Liu Cang for a few days, and there should be an answer soon."

Yunshang realized that what Luo Qingyan said was the rumor that she had killed Cao Shanxiu that she wanted to spread to Xia Huanyu's ears before, so she nodded: "I don't know how the Supreme Emperor will react, but I will kill Cao Shanxiu in the past few days. Cao Shanxiu's stay in Weiyang Palace is not a secret in the harem, the Supreme Emperor definitely has a spy in the palace, I'm afraid, if someone tells the truth to the Supreme Emperor, then our plan will be meaningless."

Luo Yan smiled softly, with a bit of pride in his eyes: "Don't worry, I have been in charge of this palace for nearly a year, and I have not stayed in vain for a year. Before that, I tried every means to use the secrets that I could call. Wei all moved around the palace and set up people in the palace. Once they found out, they tried their best to get rid of them. Liu Wen'an paid more attention to it. Now it's no different than when he first arrived. Liu Wen'an wants to send a letter out of the palace. It’s not easy either.”

Luo Qingyan hugged Yunshang's waist, and Fang continued: "And this time, I used Feiying to send the letter, Feiying took the letter to Yangliu Town, and the guards in Yangliu Town thought of ways to deliver it after receiving it." When it comes to the Taishanghuang, even if someone sends a message to the Taishanghuang, it may take about ten days to arrive, but the gap of a few days in between can change a lot."

Yun Chang nodded lightly, and Fang smiled and said: "Your Majesty's schemes are calculated, and my concubines are not as good as them."

Luo smiled softly: "Sometimes, if the person you want to deal with is not willing to accept the hard way, you may gain something by cheating like this appropriately."

When Yunshang heard the words, she squinted her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, her eyes seemed to be full of contemplation. After a while, Yunshang said: "Listening to His Majesty's words is better than reading ten years of books."

Early the next morning, Yun Chang got up early and went straight to the private prison. Cao Shanxiu has lost a lot of weight, and her face is also a little pale, but she is still in good spirits. Seeing Yun Chang's arrival, she got up to greet her, and said with a slight smile: "It's rare for the empress to come here."

Yunshang smiled: "Cao Taibi is comfortable here, but I am a little surprised. Cao Taibi is from the Cao family. Although it is only a collateral line, the Cao family was considered to be the most popular in the Xia Kingdom before. On the other hand, counting, Cao Taipin was also a noble lady when she was not out of the cabinet. This palace really did not expect that a noble lady and a weak woman can persist even after repeated interrogations by the secret guards."

Cao Shanxiu laughed when she heard the words, and bowed to Yunshang: "The empress is really flattering you."

Yun Chang lowered her eyes, raised her hand and lightly lifted the phoenix hairpin on the bun, Fang glanced at Cao Shanxiu lightly, and said softly: "However, Mrs. Cao knows that I haven't appeared in your presence for so many days. In front of you, what are you going to do?"

Cao Shanxiu's face remained calm and self-possessed: "The empress is in command of the harem, so she is busy with common affairs, how could I have guessed that the empress is too flattering."

Yun Chang ignored her cynicism, her eyes fell on the oil lamp on the wall of the private prison, and the flame on the oil lamp danced lightly.

"A few days ago, my palace sent Liu Yinfeng to Yangliu Town. Liu Yinfeng was surrounded by my palace's hidden guards. Although the martial arts of my palace's hidden guards were not as good as those around the Supreme Emperor, fortunately, there are many who are good at medicine. Poisonous. It took no effort to snatch Xia Houjing back from the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and now he has arrived in the palace. Although His Majesty promised the Supreme Emperor before that he would not harm Xia Houjing's life, Xia Houjing is His Majesty's greatest How could this palace spare his life?" Yun Shang gritted her teeth, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Cao Shanxiu lowered her head and smiled: "Liu Yinfeng is Xia Houjing's real brother, how could he help an outsider like you to harm his younger brother? If the empress wants to lie, find someone who is more credible. It’s good to find a flaw.”

"Lying? Cao Taipin thinks, how could this palace capture Xia Houjing before? If Liu Yinfeng hadn't bought a wealthy local businessman in Liucang when he was in Liucang, how could Xia Houjing have fallen into this palace so easily?" I have to say that Liu Yinfeng deserves to be the most outstanding military advisor in the Xia Kingdom. He actually predicted Xia Houjing's concubine from the fact that Xia Houjing married several concubines from Liu Cang and other nearby ladies in order to win people's hearts. They will find those few people to get married, and thus bought the rich merchant and his daughter in advance, and the rich merchant's daughter wiped the medicine that my palace asked Liu Yinfeng to hand over her lips on the night of the wedding, and then won Xia Houjing." Yun Chang raised the corners of his mouth, with a bit of complacency in his eyes.

"As for why Liu Yinfeng helped Bengong, it was because he fell in love with Bengong." Yun Shang laughed, turned around and said, "I'm afraid the concubine would never have thought of this matter, too. The concubine has heard that when I was pregnant, Liu Yinfeng was trapped in the ice cellar, and Liu Yinfeng almost died in order to save me, so I let him be Chengye's godfather."

When Cao Shanxiu heard Yun Shang say this, her eyes were full of gloom, and she said after a long while: "I knew that sooner or later he would be ruined by his deep love. Before that, he drew his sword against Xia Huanyu for Concubine Liu, and now for you, unexpectedly He even betrayed his own brother."

Yun Shang's eyes kept paying attention to Cao Shanxiu's reaction, and when she saw this, she laughed: "You and Cao Wenxi are just sisters in the boudoir, why would you risk your life and glory for her?"

Cao Shanxiu didn't answer, just stood quietly, hearing Yun Shang's question, she just sneered.

The door of the private prison was opened, Yun Shang turned around and looked into the palace, saw Qian Liu hurried down and walked up to Yun Shang, Fang hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Mother, Boss Qianqian is here to enter the palace. gone."

Yun Chang nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Where is it?"

Qian Liu hurriedly said: "It's just outside, and I came here with my servant, just to let the servant pass on."

Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words: "Since they're all here, there's nothing to pass on. With her temperament, asking you to pass on is just a formality. Even if I say I don't see it, I'm afraid it won't work."

Before the words were finished, the door of the private cell was opened again, and Ning Qian walked in from the outside. She changed her appearance and saw that she was just a slightly better-looking woman.

"Master knows the servants very well, and the servants are very happy." Ning Qian said with a smile, her eyes swept the private prison.

Yun Shang took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped her hands, said with a smile, "Is there anything urgent about entering the palace today?"

Ning Qian nodded lightly, glanced at Cao Shanxiu, and then said softly, "Ma'am, it's about Xia Houjing..."

Yun Shang heard the words, put away the brocade handkerchief, and said lightly: "Let's go, there is no light here, let's go out and talk."

Ning Qian responded softly, and waited for Yun Chang to go up, and then left the private prison together. When Ning Qian came out of the private prison, Fang Zai looked back frequently, with doubts on his face: "Why is Mrs. Cao in there?"

"Do you remember her?" Yun Chang replied casually with a smile.

Ning Qian nodded, and hooked the corners of her lips: "I remember her because she is the only one whose disguise technique is better than mine. If it wasn't for the emperor's disapproval before, I really want to reveal her face." Take a look at the mask on and see what her real face looks like."
