Chapter 1056 Being Threatened

Cao Shanxiu knelt down on the ground. Yun Shang couldn't see her face, but her body trembled slightly, not knowing if it was fear or anger.

With her hands clasped behind her back, Yun Shang smiled and said gently, "I ordered my secret guards to secretly search the palace when you were not here, and let Qian Liu wet your and the fifteenth princess's clothes on purpose. In this way, I wanted to find the exact evidence as soon as possible and get to know the truth. I shouldn't have done this way, but I don't like to make random conjectures, and I hate to be betrayed the most. Cao Shanxiu, what do you want to say? "

Cao Shanxiu lowered her head and gave a bitter smile. After a long time, she asked in a very low voice, "Since you know that the fifteenth Princess met the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, I'm afraid you have sent someone to stop him, right?"

Yun Shang nodded and sneered, "I won't let him enter Yang Liu Town. I'm afraid your highness's plan will fail."

Cao Shanxiu looked up, but her eyes were completely calm. "Your Highness, do you think that his former majesty will kill the the seventh Prince after you stopped the cloth merchant?"

Yun Shang's eyes fell on Cao Shanxiu. She thought for a moment and said, "His Former Majesty is kind, but I'm not softhearted. If His Former Majesty can't do it, I'm willing to do it for him. If I want to kill Xia Houjing, who else can save him? "

Cao Shanxiu stood up and said sarcastically, "Your majesty, you won't. Your majesty, do you know why His Former Majesty always tolerates the seventh Prince even he is not his biological son? No matter what mistakes he has made, it's just some minor punishment which never hurts the Seventh prince's life. Do your majesty knows that if his majesty wants to take control of the state, he can't do anything to the seventh Prince. Do you think the seventh Prince's rebel and the attack from the State of Yelang is the biggest crisis of the State of Xia? Your majesty is wrong. If something happens to the seventh Prince, the crisis of the State of Xia will really come. "

Cao Shanxiu raised her voice and sneered, "I'm afraid you don't know that the reason why His Former Majesty tried every means to protect the seventh Prince is to stabilize the State of Xia. Over the years, even though I've been sent to the Cold Palace for two times, I still managed to survive, because I have something that His Former Majesty had always wanted. But I won't give it. I think it's time for His Former Majesty to return what he had borrowed. It's time to give the state back to its real master. "

Yun Shang didn't know what Cao Shanxiu was talking about, but she felt that there was a big secret related to the State of Xia.

With a flash of blood in her eyes, Yun Shang stretched out her hand as fast as lightning and grabbed Cao Shanxiu's neck in an instant.

"Your Highness, you are so good at talking nonsense. It's so mysterious.Can you show something to convi

elated to the state, His Former Majesty would definitely not spare her. I guess that she must have something that makes His Former Majesty afraid of her and not dare to kill her. We have to interrogate her, but I'm afraid that all kinds of interrogation methods will not work on her since she has kept the secret until today. She just needs to make sure that we don't dare to kill her. She won't tell us the truth.

Qian Liu saw Yun Shang's face darken. She thought for a moment and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you have any idea?"

Yun Shang bit her lip, walked back and forth in the room for a few circles, and said, "We won't punish her, but only attack her weakness. The fifteenth Princess was her daughter. No matter how heartless she was, she would never completely ignore her own daughter. You can go to the prison tomorrow to find some condemned prisoners, and then look for someone who has the similar features as the fifteenth Princess. Bring some body part like finger and ear to Lady Cao every day, cook them in front of her and asked her to eat. "

Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu were both shocked. Yun Shang reached out to hold the cup on the table, and her face was as cold as frost. "Since she dares to betray and threaten me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu lowered their heads in a hurry. When they were about to answer, they heard Luo Qingyan's voice from outside, "What are you talking about? Our Empress is so virtuous. How could anyone say that she is ruthless? "

Yun Shang waved her hand to ask Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo to leave. Then she went forward and took Luo Qingyan's cloak.

Seeing that Yun Shang didn't look well, Luo Qingyan looked at her for a while and asked, "What happened?"

Yun Shang had to tell Luo Qingyan what Cao Shanxiu had said just now. Hearing this, Luo Qingyan kept silent for a long time and said, "I'll write a letter to His Former Majesty and lie to him saying that you have killed Cao Shanxiu."
