Chapter 1083 Confrontation In The Hall
Outside the pce, there was a secret signal from a secret guard. Yun Shang and Qian Liu raised their
heads at the same time. Yun Shang thought for a moment before turning to Luo Qingyan. "Women in
the imperial household are not allowed to participate in politics. Since it''s clear, I have another request.
I wonder if your majesty agree."
Luo Qingyan looked up at Yun Shang with a smile, "You can say it."
Yun Shang turned to thedy in the hall who had the same face as her and smiled slowly. She pointed
at thedy and said, "It''s my duty to make the imperial household peaceful. Please leave her to me,
your majesty. "
The woman in the hall seemed to be a little flustered and her face twisted. "His majesty treats me like
this in order not to let me tell you the truth. All the officials are watching!"
Luo Qingyan sneered, "How stubborn you are."
Yun Shang knew she was trying to buy time. Frowning slightly, she said, "Since she doesn''t feel like
she has lost and wants everyone to witness it, I''m willing to help her."
Yun Shang stood up, nced at the ministers in the hall, and said indifferently, "It''s not difficult to
distinguish whether I''m telling the truth or not. We just need to ask some questions that others don''t
know. We need to write down the answers and distinguish the truth. To prove that his majesty and I
haven''t cheated, let Prince Xian think about the questions. Prepare the writing brush and paper. "
Liu Wenan hurriedly asked the servants to make preparation. Yun Shang nced at Liu Yinfeng. After
a moment''s reflection, Liu Yinfeng asked, "When the empress is in a good mood, how does she
address the emperor?"
Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan with a cunning look in her eyes. She smiled and wrote down the
answer without hesitation. Luo Qingyan also finished the writing very quickly.
Cold sweat seeped from the woman''s forehead. Yun Shang urged her with a smile, "It''s a simple
question. Don''t you know it?"
Seeing this, everyone had an answer in their hearts. The woman pondered for a long time before she
wrote down the answer. Yun Shang asked Liu Wenan to take the paper back and showed the answers
of the three people to everyone.

The woman wrote Qingyan.
The answer of Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan was uncle.
The woman was stunned for a long time, but she still looked incredulous. "How could it be? It is
Qingyan. How could it be uncle?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled, "Isn''t it easy to understand? When we were in the State of Ning, his
majesty was my father''s sworn brother. ording to his seniority, I should call him uncle. Although we
got marriedter, I haven''t changed my habit. When I am in a good mood, I will still call him uncle. So,
are you sincerely convinced? Qian Liu, take her to the side hall. "
Qian Liu hurried to agree and escorted the woman away with another servant. Yun Shang bowed and
left the main hall.
As soon as they entered the side hall, Yun Shang said hurriedly, "They want to lure the tiger away from
the mountain. They want to take the opportunity to rescue Cao Wenxi. Transfer all the secret guards
that can be dispatched in the pce. We can''t let her be saved."
Qian Liu hurried to say yes and left. Yun Shang walked up to the woman and asked the guard to hold
her. She fumbled around her face for a while before she lifted her hand and suddenly took off the mask
on her face.
Under the mask, as Yun Shang expected, it was Lady Wan''s face.
"Your disguise skill is much worse than that of Cao Wenxi." Yun Shang sneered, "I don''t understand.
Although you are not favored in the imperial household, you have a child after all. You don''t need to
worry about living a peaceful life. Why do you take the risk to do such a thing? "
With tears in her eyes, Lady Wan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "I also hope to live a stable
life, but they don''t want to give me the chance."
"If you don''t want to, who else can force you?" Yun Shang sneered, her eyes full of distrust.
Lady Wan lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "I learnt from the same master as Cao Wenxi''s. But I''m
not as talented as her in both disguise and other aspects. I''m a very important chess piece in their
hands, and they naturally don''t want to let me go so easily. Since I gave birth to An An, they have paid
more attention to me. "
Lady Wan sighed, "They wanted to use medicine to control An An before. Even if I found out, I
discussed with my brother to secretly bring the forbidden medicine into the pce from outside and
disguise An An as using medicine. A few days ago, after the ident of Cao Wenxi, I had been very
careful, but I didn''t expect them to still take An An away. If I want to save my child, I have no choice but
to listen to them. "
Hearing this, Yun Shang was lost in thought. When she first knew that Lady Wan fed her child with the
forbidden medicine, she was a little surprised. The neenth prince was too young to fight for the
throne. Why was she so cruel to her child? But she didn''t expect this to happen.
"The road is always chosen by yourself. If you chose to tell me frankly when I found that you and Qi
Ruihai had brought the forbidden medicine into the pce, you would never end up like this today." Yun
Shang said coldly.
Lady Wan bit her lips and said with a sad smile, "Maybe. Unfortunately, fate won''t give me a chance to
make a new choice."
Lady Wan knelt straight and kowtowed to Yun Shang. "I know I''m sinful. I don''t ask your majesty for
mercy. I just want your majesty could save An An for the sake of his young age and at least the royal
bloodline."
With a tinge of sympathy in her eyes, Yun Shang sighed for a while and said, "If I can save him, I will
do my best. But now, I don''t know anything. I don''t know how many people are still in the Cao n,
what Wenxi wants, what they are going to do next, and where the neenth prince is locked up by
them."
A teardrop dropped from Lady Wan''s eyes and fell on the ground iid with jade. Her body trembled
violently. "I will tell, I''m willing to tell your majesty everything I know."
Yun Shang''s eyes brightened. She waved her hand and asked all the people in the side hall to leave.
"Go ahead."
In the main hall, the imperial guards had led the people written down by Han Mingqing to the hall. Most
of them were old, and their hair and beard were gray. However, they were in good spirit and walked
steadily. As soon as they entered the hall, they knelt down and said, "Greetings, your majesty."
Luo Qingyan quickly helped them up and said, "I shouldn''t have disturbed you, but this matter is rted
to the State of Xia. I have to invite you to the pce and hope you can understand. What happened
today was caused by the imperial seal. Some people suspect that the imperial seal in my hand is fake,
and recently someone has recklessly used some imperial seal tomit crimes. Therefore, I ask you
here to identify whose imperial seal is real. "
The elders looked at each other and said, "yes."
The old man standing beside said, "Who knows if these people are invited by his majesty and His
Former Majesty? To ensure fairness, I propose that you just need to ask these officials to speak out
what the characteristics of the imperial seal are, and then please show the imperial seal in your hands
to see if it can match. In order to ensure fairness, please write down the method first. After the emperor
takes out the imperial seal, we can identify it again through the method. "
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu rolled his eyes and looked colder. Yesterday, when he just said something to
Cao Wenxi in the private prison, she also made such a request. Presumably, she wasn''t notpletely
isted from the outside world though she was locked up in the private prison. Cao Wenxi must''ve told
those words to the old man, and he must have done something.
Liu Wenan ordered someone to bring paper and writhing brush to the elders. The elders and Han
Mingqing pondered for a moment before they finished writing.
Luo Qingyan asked someone to put away all the things before asking Liu Wenan to take out the
imperial seal.
The imperial seal was ced in a box made of purple sandalwood, with a piece of yellow cloth inside.
Liu Wenan took the seal out and asked someone to take the notes from the elders one by one.
Luo Qingyan selected a few people to check with the elders. Liu Wenan started reading the notes.
"When Emperor Yuan founded the country, he chose a special jade to carve of the imperial seal. The
special feature of the jade is that it was in a shape of a dragon, and there were ck spots on the top
of the dragon''s head. That was a w, but Emperor Yuan said that the ck spots were the dragon''s
eyes, so he chose this jade to carve the imperial seal." Liu Wenan''s voice rang out in the hall.
Everyone''s eyes fell on the dragon of the imperial seal.
"Yes, there are two ck eyes, and they are indeed embedded in the jade." Someone eximed.
Seeing this, Liu Wenan continued, "The jade used to carve the imperial seal is Dushan jade, a soft
jade. It was white, delicate and moisturizing. Except for the two spots of the dragon eyes, there was no
other impurities. The craftsman who carved the seal was Tian Guang who has unique skill. "
Some people who were good at appreciating jade stepped forward and carefully looked at the jade
seal. They all nodded and said, "Yes. I''ve seen the jade carved by Master Tian. It''s indeed amazing.
The dragon looks natural, and the lines on its back are carved with his unique skill."
"When Tian Guang was carving the jade, in order to make it easy to identify, there was a secret hidden
in the jade seal. At first nce, the jade seal was not special, but if you look at it in the light, you can
see a flying dragon embedded in it." Liu Wenan raised his voice and folded the notes in his hand.
