Chapter 1081 Confrontation
After saying that, the manughed again. "Oh, I forgot that the traitor killed his father and brother in the
past, so he got the throne, but he didn''t get the imperial seal. Although he has been looking for the
whereabouts of the imperial seal in the past few years, he has never found it. How dare he prove
himself in front of me? "
"Traitor?" Before Luo Qingyan could say anything, the curtain of the side hall was opened again. "Who
are you talking about? You said you are a member of the Cao n. Do you know that the Cao n is
the real traitor? How much money has the Cao n corrupt, how many loyal ministers have they killed,
and how many bad things have they done. You just hate me because I god rid of the Cao n. I don''t
know how long you have nned before you came up with such a charge. "
"Kill father and brother?" Xia Huanyu walked out of the side hall slowly, his face full of coldness. "At that
time, the emperor was seriously ill, and the crown prince was in charge of dealing with the state affairs.
Atst, the crown prince died, and finally I ascended the throne. In the eyes of others, it was indeed
strange, but I''ve been hiding the truth as I promised the crown prince. I have a letter written by the
crown prince. Since someone raised such a doubt in front of everyone today, and my brother is no
longer alive, for the sake of the stability of the State of Xia, I should tell the truth to everyone. "
As Xia Huanyu spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve. "Han Mingqing, you and the crown prince
Xia Chun were very close at that time, and you must be the most familiar with his handwriting. Come
and check if the letter is written by him. If you are sure, read the contents of the letter to everyone."
Han Mingqing was surprised when his name was mentioned. Then he responded and walked out of the
courtiers. Liu Wenan handed the letter to him. He took it and looked at the envelope. He was a little
surprised and took out the letter. He looked at it carefully, but didn''t say anything for a long time.
"Is this letter real or not?" Someone asked.
Han Mingqing hurriedly replied, "The handwriting on this letter is indeed the former crown prince''s. I''ll
read it to everyone. Greetings. I knew that I don''t have much time left. Recently, I noticed that Wenxi
seemed to mind the matter of the Cao n very much. There must be hatred in her heart. I am worried
that things would change in the future and be unfavorable to you, so I wrote down what happened in
the past for you to use when you need it. If Wenxi didn''t do anything out of line, please continue to hide
the secret. "
After a pause, he continued, "In the 23rd year of Qian Ming, father was seriously ill and ordered me to
deal with the state affairs. Although I was appointed as the crown prince because of my identity as the
eldest prince, I don''t like to be an emperor. I always admire freedom and want to do what I want to do.
As long as my family is harmonious, I will be satisfied. I knew that my father''s condition was bad, but I
didn''t want to ascend the throne, so I begged my brother Xia Huanyu to take over the throne and
ascend the throne on my behalf. Then I went out of the Jin city with my family to settle down. My
brother, Xia Huanyu, had always respected me. Although he didn''t want to, he dared not refuse. After
that, I pretended to be dead and lived in seclusion for nearly six years with my family. I was seriously ill
and my body was getting weaker and weaker day by day, so I wrote all this down. "
Xia Huanyu looked at Liu Yinfeng, who was standing at the head of the group of officials, and said
indifferently, "Prince Xian also knew what happened that year. My brother came up with this idea
because he was afraid that it would cause the displeasure of the courtiers who supported him at that
time and cause some trouble. I have kept this secret for thirty years. No matter how others
misunderstand it, I never say a word. Now, it''s time for the truth to be known to the world. "
Liu Yinfeng''s face was also a little pale. "Yes, the truth was indeed like what His Former Majesty said."
The man sneered and said with determination, "The letter can be forged, and the testimonies can also
be forged. You just need to take out the imperial seal and let everyone identify it together. Then we will
know whether it is true or not. His Former Majesty, don''t you dare? "
"Of course!" With a cold expression on his face, Xia Huanyu said, "You asked me to take out the
imperial seal, then where is the so-called real imperial seal you mentioned? Since you don''t take
anything out even if you want to identify it, how can I know whether or not you have other intentions? "
The man smiled faintly and said, "Of course I will take out the real imperial seal. But please release
Miss Cao the crown prince''s wife. The real imperial seal is in her hand. DoesHis Former Majesty think
that imprisioning her in the pce can prevent others from finding out that the imperial seal in your
hand is fake?"
The hall was soon filled with noise. Luo Qingyan and Xia Huanyu didn''t expect that he would mention
Cao Wenxi like this.
With a colder look in his eyes, Xia Huanyu raised his voice and said, "What are you talking about? How
could Cao Wenxi be in the pce? "
The man said unhurriedly, "His Former Majesty, don''t lie. Ourdy has been locked up in the pce by
you for many days. If you don''t believe me, I can take you to the pce to see if ourdy is in the
pce or not."
Neither Xia Huanyu nor Luo Qingyan spoke, but the manughed. "What''s wrong? Are you afraid? "
When the hall was in a stalemate, another voice came, "Your Majesty, Qian Liu from Weiyang Pce
wants to visit you."
Luo Qingyan frowned and nodded, "Call her."
Qian Liu hurried in with an anxious look on her face, "Your Majesty, your majesty, something happened
to her majesty."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan''s face suddenly changed. He stood up and asked anxiously, "What
happened? Tell me, what happened to her majesty? "
Qian Liu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lady Wan from the Huaixiu Pce sent someone to report
that the neenth Prince is sick and the imperial physician has no way to cure him. She wanted to ask
her majesty to have a look. Her majesty was kind and agreed. She asked Qian Zhuo to go to the
Huaixiu Pce with her. But the secret guards followed her for a long time outside the pce, and did
not see her majestye out. Then he went in to check, except for some unknown servants, the
others are nowhere to be seen. "
Luo Qingyan clenched his fists in his sleeves, and veins stood out on his forehead. He stood up and
said, "Li Huaian, send people to gather the imperial guards. Even if we have to dig the underground,
you must find out the Empress."

Li Huaian replied and left in a hurry.
Xia Huanyu frowned and saw a meaningful smile on the man''s face. Xia Huanyu was a little confused.
After thinking about it carefully, he knew there must be something wrong.
The disappearance of the Empress must be a conspiracy of Cao Wenxi. Luo Qingyan loved the
Empress very much. Knowing that she was missing, he must look for her everywhere. If Cao Wenxi
was found out of the inner pce by someone, how could they exin?
Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at Luo Qingyan and Qian Liu, Xia Huanyu pulled Liu
Wenan''s sleeve. Liu Wenan turned around and got a little closer to Xia Huanyu. Xia Huanyu gave
orders in a low voice. Liu Wenan nodded in a hurry and took two steps back, intending to leave the Tai
Chi hall.
"Lord Liu, where are you going? Are you afraid that ourdy might be found when they are looking for
the Empress, so you''re going to order someone to imprison her in another ce? " The man suddenly
spoke with obvious sarcasm in his voice.
Everyone''s eyes fell on Liu Wenan. Liu Wenan smiled and said calmly, "You can''t be presumptuous in
the hall. The disappearance of the Empress must be done by someone with ulterior motives. His
Former Majesty is worried about her former majesty, so I went to the Taihe Pce to see if she is fine.
Do you mean that you have something to do with the disappearance of the Empress? "
The old man didn''t hide anything and said, "Lord Liu, you are a little rude. If you are out to condemn
someone, you can always trump up a charge. Lord Liu, do you want to impose the crime of murdering
the Empress on me? But you''d better not leave the Taiji Pce. Otherwise, it will make people feel that
His Former Majesty is afraid. "
Xia Huanyu frowned. However, even though Luo Qingyan ordered the imperial guards to search the
inner pce, he shouldn''t be so confident, as if he was sure that the imperial guards would find out
Cao Wenxi. Could it be that they had nted spies in the imperial guards or the inner pce.
However, Luo Qingyan had no response to the other noises in the hall. All he thought about was the
disappearance of Yun Shang. He lifted his foot and was about to leave the Taiji Pce.
"Your Majesty, where are you going? Since his majesty is leaving the Taiji Pce, we should follow
him. Otherwise, we don''t know what will happen. " The man said again.
Xia Huanyu frowned more tightly.
Luo Qingyan rolled his eyes and walked to the old man. He grabbed the old man''s neck and asked
angrily, "Tell me, where did you hide the Empress?"
The old man was a little angry. His face turned red because of the suffocation, and there was indeed a
strange smile on the corner of his mouth. "I don''t know, but if the emperor is willing to release ourdy,
maybe the Empress will be fine."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan was even more furious. He kicked the old man to the ground and said,
"Guards, drag this man down and kill him."
The old man coughed for a while before he calmed down and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don''t be
so angry. What I said is true. His Former Majesty has kept ourdy in the pce for more than 20
years. His Former Majesty thinks that no one will know what you have done in the past if you don''t let
her out?"
There was silence in the hall. The old man coughed from time to time. "Everyone in the hall knows
about this today. If his majesty and His Former Majesty don''t give a satisfactory answer, I''m afraid
everyone will be confused..."
Hardly had her voice faded away, a shrill voice of the eunuch came outside, "Her majesty is here..."
