Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1079

Yun Shang took it over and scanned it roughly. She frowned and handed the paper to Luo Qingyan, with worry in her eyes. "It's indeed unusual that so many old courtiers gather in the Jin city all of a sudden. Do you think these people were hired by Cao Wenxi just for the matter of the imperial seal?"

Luo Qingyan took it over and said, "It's hard to guess..." Luo Qingyan looked down at the list on the letter and continued, "But I don't think the Cao clan is able to gather so many high-ranked courtiers. Moreover, the Cao clan has declined for so many years."

"You are right." Yun Shang murmured to herself, but there was a little confusion in her eyes. "Then why did these people come? During this period of time in the Jin City, the biggest thing that is happening or about to happen was probably the matter of the imperial seal. If it weren't for the imperial seal, I really couldn't find the reason why they gathered in the Jin city."

"I don't dare to make a conclusion on this matter at once. Qian Zhuo, ask the secret guards to inquire around..." Luo Qingyan paused and said, "There's no need to ask others. You can ask Lord Hua Guo about the relationship between these people on the list and the Cao clan."

Then Qian Zhuo bowed and left.

Luo Qingyan put the list on the table and pressed it down with the glaze lamp. He raised his head to look at Yun Shang. Seeing that Yun Shang frowning, he walked to her and held her hand. "You once told Cao Wenxi that I am the emperor now. The imperial seal doesn't matter much. Why do you look so worried now?" "I won't lower my head in front of her, but it's not the truth. Your majesty know it. In all ages, the imperial seal has been an important object for the emperor to inherit. Now the imperial seal in our hands is fake. It's not proper for the real imperial seal to be lost. I don't know what kind of evidence Cao Wenxi has to prove that the imperial seal in her hand is real, but judging from her confident look, she must not be pretending. Once this matter is exposed, it will definitely be a big storm. Maybe it is not enough to shake the State of Xia, but a lot of efforts are needed to calm it down." After saying that, Yun Shang sighed, with a touch of sadness in her eyes.

Luo Qingyan smiled and held Yun Shang's hand tightly. "Don't worry. Since we have known it so long in advance, I have been well prepared. Tomorrow, although there will be a battle between Xia Huanyu and Cao Wenxi, I will never let Xia Huanyu lose this battle."

The firmness on Luo Qingyan's face calmed Yun Shang down. "Well, since you said so, I believe you."

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang in his arms with a smile and said softly, "But it must be a tough battle. You should also be careful. Although we have controlled Cao Wenxi now, the remaining members of the Cao clan have not been completely eliminated. Since tomorrow is the time limit set by Cao Wenxi, the remaining members of the Cao clan will definitely counterattack with all their might. You should remember to protect yourself and Chengye."

Yun Shang smiled and nodded, "I know. Don't worry."

Though worried, Yun Shang had a good sleep at night. On the second day, she got up early and let Qian Liu dress her up. Then she asked softly, "Where is Qian Zhuo?"

Qian Liu answered softly, "Qian Zhuo went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet." Yun Shang nodded slightly. She must have gone out to inquire information. When she was about to stand up, she heard Pei Lan, who was standing by the window and sorting out the flowers in the vase, laughing. "Your majesty just asked about Sister Qian Zhuo and now here she is."

Yun Shang looked up and saw Pei Lan looking out of the window. She knew she must have seen Qian Zhuo. Sure enough, not long after, Yun Shang heard footsteps.

Qian Zhuo came in with breakfast in her hands. She bowed to Yun Shang and put the dishes on the table. "Your majesty, it's time for breakfast."

Yun Shang nodded and sat down at the table. Then she looked up at Qian Zhuo, who was placing the spoon, and asked, "I heard that you disappeared this morning. Where have you been?"

She smiled and put the spoon in the bowl. She stepped back half a step and said softly, "I went to the private prison to have a look. His Former Majesty didn't take Cao Wenxi away, but Cao Wenxi seemed to be fine. She kept muttering, "east, west, south, north. I don't understand."

"Oh? What did she mean? " Yun Shang frowned, confused.

Qian Zhuo curled her lips and said, "I don't know either, but she has been repeating it all the time, so I keep it in mind. By the way, his majesty sent a secret guard to ask Lord Hua Guo about the relationship between the courtiers who have recently entered the Jin city and the Cao clan. Lord Hua Guo replied that he was only a general at that time and didn't know much about the intrigues in the court. He only knows that at that time, Zhao Qicheng, the grand tutor, didn't have a good relationship with the Cao clan and often quarreled in the court." Yun Shang remembered this name, Zhao Qicheng. In the list she saw yesterday, his name ranked first.

"Since they don't have a good relationship with the Cao clan, I'm afraid that the possibility of Cao Wenxi inviting them here is very small. Is it really a coincidence?" Yun Shang frowned and murmured.

Hearing this, Qian Liu said, "If there are one or two of them, it's possible to be coincidences. But these people all appeared in the Jin city at the same time. If it's a coincidence, I will never believe it. But, if the Cao clan didn't invite them here, your majesty, do you think it is possible that the person who invited them to the Jin city is His Former Majesty? "

"His Former Majesty?" Yun Shang was shocked. She pondered for a moment, pounded the table and stood up. "I didn't expect that it might be His Former Majesty. The one who hated Cao Wenxi the most in the world now was probably Xia Huanyu. For so many years, even if Cao Wenxi threatened him with the two secrets, Xia Huanyu would not sit still and wait for death. Maybe he has prepared something to deal with it in secret."
