Cao Wenxi was now imprisoned in a private prison in her own palace. After her accident, although no one in the palace 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 blades 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 relaxed." 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 in common. 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 suddenly laughed and said, "The world is so interesting. Thirty years ago, you racked your brains and destroyed all the members of the Cao clan, but you shouldn't have let me go. Thank you for coming to see me, your former majesty. I think this place is good, with food and accommodation, 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-in-law. 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's laughter suddenly stopped, and a sneer appeared at the corners o
There were still many blooming flowers in the Imperial Garden. Luo Qingyan didn't like these flowers and plants. 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 the lake and sat down. He looked up at Xia Huanyu and said, "Have a seat."
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu couldn't help laughing 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 flaws in the military strength of the State of Xia. Although the State of Yelang retreated for the time being, Cangjue Qingsu was not a person who will easily give up. He would definitely make a comeback. What should you do with it? I admit that you and the Empress is good at battle, but you are 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 to comfort 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? "
