Chapter 991 The Past

Biting her lips, Cao Shanxiu sighed and said slowly, "when I was a child, my father was ordered to Yanghuai City. Because of my mother's poor health, my mother and I didn't go with him immediately. Before I was ten years old, I lived in the Cao mansion and had a good relationship with my cousin, Cao Wenxi. When I was ten years old, I went to Yanghuai City. When I knew that my cousin married the crown prince, I was so happy for her. "

"Later, the news that His Former Majesty ascended the throne was spread to Yanghuai City. I was shocked. In a few days, my cousin came with her family, but no matter how my father and I asked, they didn't tell us what happened in the Jin City. My father settled them in a small town called Yang Liu Town in Yanghuai City, and they lived there for about two or three years. Later, I don't know what kind of illness her husband got and it became more and more serious. My cousin discussed with my father in the study for a long time. After my father came out of the study, he let me take part in the beauty selection to enter the Palace. "

Tears welled up in Cao Shanxiu's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "I only know that His Former Majesty has taken away the throne of my cousin's husband and even ordered to kill so many people in the Cao mansion. I was very reluctant, but my father has made up his mind. I finally entered the palace, but I don't want to compete for favor. Not long after I entered the palace, my cousin suddenly appeared in the palace. She was pregnant. She told me everything. She pretended to be a eunuch and stayed in the Luoxue Pavilion. Two months later, she gave birth to the baby. As soon as the baby was born, he was taken away. Soon, my cousin jumped into a well and died. "

Yun Shang knocked on the table and said impatiently, "I know all these. Liu Yinfeng and the seventh prince are both the children of Cao Wenxi and Xia Chun. I just want to ask you a few questions."

Cao Shanxiu lowered her head, and there seemed to be a flash of surprise in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Yun Shang sat up straight and asked, "Why were you sent to the cold palace that year?"

Cao Shanxiu smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "Because Lady Liu suddenly suspected the identity of the the seventh Prince. She secretly ordered people to investigate and was found by His Former Majesty. His Former Majesty was afraid that she would investigate me, so he found an excuse to send me to the cold palace and seal the Luoxue Pavilion. "

Yun Shang was surprised. Lady Liu suspected Xia Houjing's identity? Could it be that...

"Does Lady Liu's death have anything to do with this?" Yun Shang squinted and asked in a hurry.

Cao Shanxiu thought for a long time and finally nodded. "When I was in the cold palace, one day, Lady Liu suddenly broke in with the fifteenth Princess in her arms and a sword in her hand on the neck of the princess. She asked me who the pregnant eunuch in the Luoxue Pavilion was. However, before I could answer, His Former Majesty came in a hurry and took Lady Liu away. A few da

ve a plan. The spring banquet was just an excuse. She was afraid that Yun Shang was going to use it to clean up all the people who should be cleaned up. Qian Zhuo thought to herself and agreed with a smile.

Yun Shang thought for a while and asked, "Is Hua Er in Chengye's room?"

Qian Zhuo answered, "Since the Prince had a nosebleed last time, your majesty ordered Chen Miaosi not to get close to the Prince. Then I asked Hua'er to take care of the Prince."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and kept silent for a long time before she said, "If I want to thoroughly clean up the imperial household, we still don't have enough people. Moreover, in places like Shangyi Bureau and the the Imperial Hospital, we need some experts. Send a message out of the palace and ask Ning Qian to find some capable people for me and send them to the palace."

Qian Zhuo answered yes. Seeing that Yun Shang had nothing else to order, she left.

Yun Shang took a book from the bookshelf and read it. Since she figured it out, Yun Shang had sent people to find many medical books. When she had nothing to do, she read them. She always hoped to find a good way to cure Bao'er and herself.

Not after long, Liu Wenan came and asked to see her. Yun Shangasked someone to lead him in. Seeing a long box in Liu Wenan's hand, she smiled and asked, "What's this?"

Liu Wenan smiled and said, "This is a tribute from a local official. It's a Guqin. Although it's a new one, it's definitely a top-grade Guqin. The emperor said that you would like it, so he asked me to send it to you in a hurry."

A touch of tenderness flashed through Yun Shang's eyes. She stood up, walked to Liu Wenan and opened the long box. There was a Guqin quietly lying in it. The Guqin was bright in color, and there were dark patterns of plum blossoms. Yun Shang stretched out her hand and played with it. The sound was unparalleled.

Yun Shang smiled, "It's indeed a good Guqin. Put it on the table."

Although there was a table for Guqin in the palace, there was no Guqin on it. She didn't expected that Luo Qingyan noticed it.
