Chapter 1077 Schemes


    Cao Wenxi was now imprisoned in a private prison in her own pce. After her ident, although no


    one in the pce knew what she had done, they knew that she would have no chance to turn over.


    Cao Wenxi was not eye-catching in the imperial household. If Yun Shang hadn''t supported her after


    she became the Empress, others would have forgotten that there was such a person left in the imperial


    household.


    The sound of swords and des faintly came from outside the private prison and gradually


    approached. Cao Wenxi frowned, but her body did not move. She leaned against the wall, holding a


    dry straw in her hand. She was fiddling with the straw in her hand from time to time, and soon made a

    thick braid with the straw. She pretended to be bored. After making up a long part, she threw the braid


    in her hand and pulled a new straw.


    The sound was getting closer and closer. After a long time, footsteps came down the steps. Without


    raising her head, Cao Wenxi stared at the straw in her hand intently.


    "You look quite rxed." The man stood outside the prison for a long time before he opened his mouth.


    Cao Wenxi smiled, but still didn''t raise her head. "Your Former Majesty has a good taste. The Emperor


    and the Empress are not ordinary people. It took you six years to find out the secret, and they found it


    out in less than a year. But you have something inmon. Except imprisoning me, you have no other


    way to deal with me. "


    Raising her eyes to look at the small window above her, Cao Wenxi smiled and said, "I have been


    counting the days since I came in. Today, it''s the ninth day since I came here. I heard that you were still


    in Yang Liu Town when I was just locked up. You came back very soon. But only one day left, will you


    let me go? Or continue to lock me here? "


    After saying that, Cao Wenxi suddenlyughed and said, "The world is so interesting. Thirty years ago,


    you racked your brains and destroyed all the members of the Cao n, but you shouldn''t have let me


    go. Thank you foring to see me, your former majesty. I think this ce is good, with food and


    amodation, and a good sleep at night. I don''t want to go out. Why don''t you beg me? Kneel down


    and beg me? The Empress said that she didn''t care whether or not the two secrets would spread. They


    didn''t want to deal with the scandals that you killed your father and brother and colluded with your


    sister-inw. Ha ha! The imperial seal in my hand is the solid evidence. They don''t care, but can you


    just ignore them all? I wonder what her former majesty will think if she knows it. "


    As Cao Wenxi spoke, her smile became more and more arrogant.


    Blue veins stood out on Xia Huanyu''s forehead. He fixed his eyes on Cao Wenxi and said with a cold


    smile, "You have threatened me with these two things for more than more than 10 years. Do you think I


    will still have no denfense as 10 years ago? "


    Wendy''sughter suddenly stopped, and a sneer appeared at the corners of her mouth. "Defense? It''s


    irrefutable evidence. What''s the use of your excuses? "


    Xia Huanyu walked back and forth outside the prison for two circles. His voice was a little light, but very


    calm. "If your corpse is carried out from here, others will think that you are Cao Wenxi or Cao


    Shanxiu?"


    "There is no Cao Wenxi in the world. Even if the remaining members of the Cao n spread out the


    two rumors tomorrow, so what? In fact, I had never been captured by Cangjue Qingsu before. During


    that period of time, I went to a lot of ces to visit some old officials who had resigned after I ascended


    the throne. I also obtained a lot of useful things. I went to the ces you had been after leaving the Jin


    city and found out something that even you might have neglected... Do you know why I took Xia


    Houjing to Yang Liu Town? I''m afraid you will never know that your husband, my brother, has left a


    letter in Yang Liu Town. " The expression on Xia Huanyu''s face was still indifferent, and his eyes were


    filled with determination.


    "From the day Xia Houjing rebelled, I knew that although I had tried every means to stabilize you for so


    many years, you wouldn''t let go of this opportunity this time. I passed the throne to Qingyan and left the


    Jin City in a hurry because I got an extremely useful clue, a clue that can prove that the imperial seal in


    your hand is also a fake one. " Xia Huanyu curled up his mouth.


    Cao Wenxi sneered, "His Former Majesty is good at confusing right and wrong and bewitching people.


    I''ve learned it for so many years. How can I be easily fooled?"


    However, Xia Huanyu didn''t refute her. He looked at the straw in her hand. After a long time, he said,


    "at that time, you and my brother were in deep love. Did he ever tell you how to distinguish the true


    imperial seal? The imperial seal was made of top-grade jade, and the one who carved it was Tian


    Guang who is very famous. The imperial seal he carved looked like an ordinary jade at first nce, but


    it had a special mystery. As long as the imperial seal was shining in the sun, you could vaguely see a


    flying dragon. "


    Seeing that Cao Wenxi was unmoved, Xia Huanyu continued, "Many officials in the court knew this


    method, but most of them leftter. Under my deliberate concealment, very few people know it now. But


    it''s not impossible for me to invite those old officials. "


    Cao Wenxi''s hand paused for a moment, but then she moved quickly and said, "So what? The imperial


    seal in my hand is true. Even if you have some methods to identify whether it is real or not, why should


    I be afraid? "


    Hearing this, Xia Huanyu smiled with burning eyes. "Why should you be afraid of? I''ve found the real


    imperial seal and identified it. Do you think the one in your hand is real or not? "


    Cao Wenxi suddenly raised her eyes to look at Xia Huanyu, with blue veins standing out on her


    forehead. "Liar, you must have tampered with the fake imperial seal. You must have made up the


    method to identify the imperial seal."


    "Why are you so excited? Whether it''s real or not, we''ll know it tomorrow. " Xia Huanyu pursed his lips


    and said with obviouscency, "By the way, I haven''t told you what your husband has written in


    the letter in Yang Liu Town."


    Cao Wenxi looked at Xia Huanyu with anger in her eyes, but it seemed that Xia Huanyu hadn''t seen it.


    Heughed and said, "It was him who asked me to take over the throne and help him leave the Jin city.


    You and he have been together day and night. Do you think that he didn''t notice the deep hatred in


    your heart? That''s why he did this. If you don''t do it, I don''t want to do it to you. But now that things


    havee to this, I won''t let it go. Do you think that letter can wash away my stain in the past? The


    letter can prove that I didn''t kill my father and brother. Now no one knows that you are Cao Wenxi. No


    one will hear what you say. "


    Not knowing whether what Xia Huanyu said was true or not, Cao Wenxi kept a straight face. Her


    trembling fingertips revealed some of her emotions. She quickly withdrew her hand.


    "Only one day left." Xia Huanyu murmured, "I''ll keep you alive until tomorrow, so that you can see how


    you lost."


    Greetings came from outside. A secret guard hurried down, cupped his hands and reported, "Your


    Former Majesty, his majesty is here."


    "I see." Xia Huanyu replied. He paused for a while, turned around and walked up the stone steps


    slowly.


    Luo Qingyan didn''t go to the private prison. Instead, he waited at the door. When he saw Xia Huanyu


    wonder if you are free."


    Luo Qingyan didn''t call father. Xia Huanyu frowned and sighed. He looked up at the blue sky and said,


    "It''s a nice day today. Let''s go to the Imperial Garden."


    Luo Qingyan answered and walked towards the Imperial Garden with Xia Huanyu. The weather was


    getting cold, and the air was a little cold.


    There were still many blooming flowers in the Imperial Garden. Luo Qingyan didn''t like these flowers


    and nts. He looked up and only recognized chrysanthemums.


    "You came here in such a hurry and said you wanted to have a talk with me. After walking for a long


    while, you didn''t say anything. Are you here to stroll in the Imperial Garden with me?" Xia Huanyu


    curled his lips.


    Luo Qingyan walked to a pavilion by theke and sat down. He looked up at Xia Huanyu and said,


    "Have a seat."


    Hearing this, Xia Huanyu couldn''t helpughing and sat down opposite Luo Qingyan.


    "The matter about Cao Wenxi is only a grudge between you elders. I shouldn''t have intervened with it


    with Shang''er. But Cao Wenxi has the evidence that is disadvantageous to the state, so I can''t just


    ignore it." Luo Qingyan said softly.


    "Leave it to me. You don''t need to worry about it. I will solve it myself. Now you should start to worry


    about how to reorganize the court principles. You have just ascended the throne, and the imperial


    examination which is held once every three years can be changed to once every two years. There were


    still many ws in the military strength of the State of Xia. Although the State of Yng retreated for the


    time being, Cangjue Qingsu was not a person who will easily give up. He would definitely make a


    the emperor and the empress, not soldiers. You couldn''t always fight in person. " Looking at his son


    with a smile, Xia Huanyu said, "I will definitely solve problems that should be solved by me."


    Luo Qingyan listened quietly and didn''t respond. After Xia Huanyu finished his words, he looked up and


    said, "You used to dote on Xia Houjing in order tofort Cao Wenxi? You seem to dote on him very


    much, but in fact, you are plotting in secret. So that when Xia Houjing does something out of line, you


    could get the chance to defeat them all? "
