Chapter 1081 Confrontation

After saying that, the man laughed 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 clan. Do you know that the Cao clan is the real traitor? How much money has the Cao clan 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 clan. I don't know how long you have planned 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. At last, 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 clan 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

p 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 Palace. 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 palace, 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 planted spies in the imperial guards or the inner palace.

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 Palace.

"Your Majesty, where are you going? Since his majesty is leaving the Taiji Palace, 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 our lady, 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 our lady in the palace 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..."
