Chapter 1080 Trapped
Lady Wan looked at the neenth Prince on the bed, tears streaming down her face, and her eyes
and brows were full of anxiety. "I don''t want to, either. Yesterday he kept saying that he was cold, so I
took out the thickest quilt in the pce and covered him. But he still felt cold, and gradually lost
consciousness and passed out. I had no idea what to do. I didn''t dare to call for an imperial physician
or disturb you in the middle of the night. I touched his hand and thought he was still feeling cold, so I
added another quilt. Your majesty, what''s wrong with An An? "
Yun Shang asked Qian Zhuo to take the hand of the neenth Prince out of the quilt. Qian Zhuo
frowned. Yun Shang nced at her and then put her hand on his wrist. Yun Shang also frowned. He
was indeed very cold.
In no time, Yun Shang''s face changed. There was no pulse, no pulse at all.
Yun Shang hurriedly put her hand away and put a finger under the nose of the neenth Prince. There
was no breath. The neenth Prince on the bed was obviously dead. Even though Lady Wan was too
anxious, it was impossible for her not to notice that her child had lost his pulse and breath.
"Your Majesty, how is An An?" Lady Wan looked at Yun Shang worriedly.
Seeing her like this, Yun Shang didn''t know how to say. She thought for a long time and was about to
say something, but she heard Qian Shang''s voiceing from behind. "Be careful, your majesty. I feel
weak and dizzy."
Yun Shang was taken aback and thought quickly. Qian Zhuo was in a good condition just now. It must
not be a coincidence. Someone must have done something.
With a bang, Yun Shang saw Qian Zhuo fall to the ground from the corner of her right eye. Yun Shang
didn''t think too much and responded, "What did you do? Why... Why do I feel sore all over my body and
dizzy? "
"Your highness, I''m sorry. I don''t want to do that, either. But I have no choice." Qi Ruihai''s voice came
from behind.
With a sneer, Yun Shang raised her head and rubbed her forehead before falling down.
Lady Wan pushed Yun Shang in a hurry and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Qi Ruihai and said,
"She finally fainted. I thought the maid with her was best at Kung Fu, but I didn''t expect her to hold on
longer than her maid."
Qi Ruihai nodded and looked at Yun Shang. Then he said softly, "I''ve heard that the Empress is good
at Kung Fu. But fortunately, we put the poison on the child''s hand. No matter how smart she is, she
couldn''t imagine it."
"Let''s send her away as soon as possible. She must have secret guards with her. If she doesn''t go out
after a while, the secret guards wille to look for her soon." Lady Wan still looked worried.

Qi Ruihai nodded, walked to the bedside, lifted Yun Shang to the bed, and then moved Qian Zhuo to
the bed. He pulled a rope by the bed, and with a click, the bed turned over. The three people on the
bed slipped down, and the bed turned back, as if nothing had happened.
In the Taiji Pce, Luo Qingyan''s face was full of anger. "Ji Chengjun! Liucang City had just
experienced a catastrophe. Who allowed you to collect taxes from the people of Liucang City? If it
weren''t for General Wang, who was cleaning up the battlefield, have sensed that something was wrong
and reported hurriedly. I couldn''t have known that you were so bold! "
An official knelt down in the Taiji Pce. Upon hearing Luo Qingyan''s words, he bowed to Luo Qingyan
and said, "Your Majesty, without your majesty''s will, how dare I make such an order. I received an
imperial edict ten days ago, asking me to do so! "
Luo Qingyan was even more furious. "My will? I''m not old enough to forget that I haven''t issued an
imperial edict. You don''t have to find such a far fetched excuse. "
Ji Chengjun hurriedly kowtowed three times and said, "I''m not lying at all. The imperial edict is still in
my mansion..."
Luo Qingyan frowned. Ji Chengjun was the Ministry of Revenue. He was highly praised by the Minister
of Revenue. Perhaps he was not such an unscrupulous man.
Today was the deadline mentioned by Cao Wenxi. ording to her, she would expose the secret to the
public today. Was this the way she made it public? If so, then as Yun Shang said, Cao Wenxi''s
scheming cannot be underestimated.
She knew that Liucang City was a sore spot in Luo Qingyan''s heart. Even though the revolt had been
suppressed, Liucang City suffered a lot. What Luo Qingyan needed to do immediately was tofort
the public. She had made a n in advance. She made a fake imperial edict with the fake imperial seal
and asked someone to give it to Ji Chengjun...
Although Luo Qingyan had roughly understood the whole story, he said calmly, "You said you had
received the imperial edict. Well, Liu Wenan, go to the Ji mansion in person and bring the imperial edict
that Lord Ji mentioned."
Liu Wenan replied and left the Taiji Pce.
Luo Qingyan nced at the people in the hall and thought for a while. Then he called the eunuch who
was standing at the foot of the stairs up and ordered in a low voice, "Go to the Tiahe Pce and ask
His Former Majesty toe here. Ask His Former Majesty to wait for a moment in the side hall. Tell
him that something happened."
The eunuch received the order and left the Taiji Pce in a hurry.
Liu Wenan was very quicl. In less than an hour, he hurried back to the Taiji Pce, holding an imperial
edict in his hand.
Liu Wenan quickly walked up the steps and handed the imperial edict to Luo Qingyan. "Your Majesty,
this is the imperial edict that Lord Ji received a few days ago."
Luo Qingyan opened the imperial edict, and it was true that the imperial edict asked him to issue an
order to collect the taxes from the people of Liucang City. Luo Qingyan looked at the lower left corner of
the imperial edict, where there was a red mark, the size and pattern of which was exactly the same as
the imperial seal.
"I can confirm that I didn''t issue this imperial edict. Ji Chengjun, when did someone send this imperial
edict to your mansion?" Luo Qingyan asked as he folded the imperial edict.
As soon as these words were uttered, the hall was immediately like a boiling pot, and low voices were
heard from time to time.
Fear was written all over Ji Chengjun''s face. He hurriedly replied, "This imperial edict was sent to my
mansion on August 18th. I don''t know the eunuchs who came to issue the imperial edict. Seeing that
they are all dressed in eunuchs'' clothes, and the imperial edict and the imperial seal mark on the
imperial edict are correct, I feel that no one dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict in the Jin City, so
I epted it. At that time, I saw that the eunuch who issued the decree was a little strange, and I had
specially tested him. However, he knew very well about the people around your majesty, and he
answered all my questions correctly. "
Hardly had Ji Chengjun''s voice faded away, the schr of the imperial Hanlin academy, Yang Qiu,
stepped forward two steps and cupped his hands. "Lord Ji has been an official for several years. We
have seen the seal mark many times in the past. The color is very different from ordinary ones. How
could you be easily cheated?"
Hearing this, Ji Chengjun turned around in a hurry and said, "It''s because the imperial seal mark looks
too real..."
When the two of them were in a stalemate, they heard a loud voice from outside, "Report."
Luo Qingyan frowned and looked at the gate of the Taiji Pce. The person standing at the gate was
the deputymander of the imperial guards, Li Huaian. Luo Qingyan nced at Liu Wenan, and Liu
Wen''an nodded immediately and raised his voice, "Call."
Li Huai hurried in and cupped his hands. "Today I saw a carriage running on the street. Someone in the
carriage threw pieces of paper outside, saying that the real imperial seal has lost. The imperial seal in
the pce is fake and that His Former Majesty killed his father and brother and ascended the throne,
but he didn''t get the real imperial seal at all. He didn''t deserve to be an emperor. And there were
imperial seal marks on the notes. "
As Li Huaian spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper from his waist and raised them above his head
with his hands. Liu Wenan hurried to Li Huaian, took them and handed them to Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan took them over and unfolded them.
He didn''t expect that Cao Wenxi would spread the news in such a way that all the civil and military
officials would know it.
The officials in the hall whispered even louder.
Luo Qingyan sneered and looked up at Li Huaian, "Since you saw the carriage, have you caught the
person in it?"
Li Huaian cupped his hands and replied, "Fortunately, I didn''t fail my task. I''ve caught him. The man
said he was a member of the Cao n and said he knew where the real imperial seal was. I thought it
was a big deal, so I directly took that person her and he is waiting outside the hall. "
Luo Qingyan frowned and said, "Why do you keep the person who talked nonsense?"
When Luo Qingyan was about to issue an order someone to kill the man, the curtain of the side hall
was suddenly lifted. A eunuch came out in a hurry and whispered something in Luo Qingyan''s ear. Luo
Qingyan frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Bring the man to the hall."
He was taken to the hall, but he stood straight in it with a sneer on his face and stared at Luo Qingyan.
"How dare you! Kneel down now!" Liu Wenan frowned and raised his voice.
The manughed. "Even the imperial seal is fake. What kind of emperor is he?"
Li Huaian frowned and lifted his foot to kick the man''s knee. The man felt pain and bent one of his feet,
but he stabilized his body before he touched the ground. He looked at Luo Qingyan with mockery in his
eyes and said, "Why are you so excited? Why don''t you take out the imperial seal? We can see
whether it''s real or not."
