Chapter 1382 It Fell Down



Chapter 1382 It Fell Down

"But this stuff was made with the assistance of the State of Youyue. If something happens this time, it

will easily arouse suspicion that the State of Youyue is behind the scene and that they do it on

purpose."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Your majesty, this is a very good plan. The State of Youyue will bemade the fall

guy for the affair again."

"Haven't your majesty asked me to perform well in this show? Since we want to give a show, this will

naturally be the best arrangement. " Yun Shang took a sip of wine and then went on, "Once something

happens to this Kongming latern and it is just blazing down to the Weiyang Palace, I can take the

opportunity to fly into a rage and right away launch an attack against both the State of Youyue and the

State of Yihai."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "And then... Everything will be as your majesty wish, "

replied Luo Qingyan. Then he smiled again and said, "I've said that today is Mid- autumn Festival. We

should enjoy the moon well. Let's not talk about anything else.

Now that your majesty have broken the rule, should you..." Luo Qingyan looked up with a sly smile, This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Should you have three glasses of wine as punishment?"

"……"

Luo Qingyan presented a glass of wine in front of Yun Shang. Yun Shang snorted, "Your Majesty, since

the wine is ready, what else can I say?"

Then she took the wine and drank three glasses of it.

The large Kongming latern was floating in the air and attracting the attention of countless people below.

At the moment, in the Cao mansion outside the palace, it was another busy scene.

Because it was Mid-autumn Festival today, everyone in the mansion gathered in the yard to enjoy the

moon. The moon worship ceremony was just over when a child suddenly cried out, "Wow, look! What's

that? Is it Kongming latern? I've never seen so big a Kongming latern... It's really big. "

Everyone was attracted by the exclamation and looked up in that direction.

Old Lady Cao narrowed her eyes and tried hard to see it. She then turned to her sons, "You have good

eyesight. Tell me that.... Is that really Kongming latern? "

Cao Yi nodded, "It looks like Kongming latern, but it seems a little different from the normal ones. It is

really too big. And mother, can you see it? There seems to be something hanging under Kongming

latern? But it's too far away. I can't see clearly what's hanging underneath. "

Old Lady Cao frowned but said nothing.

Cao Yi focused kept looking at Kongming latern for a while and then went on, "That... That Kongming

lantern seems to be flying above the Imperial Palace? "

"Above the Imperial Palace?" Old Lady Cao frowned more tightly, "But who dares to fly it above the

Imperial Palace?"

Old Lady Cao just asked this question when she immediately realized herself that it can only be its own

master that could play this in the Imperial Palace.

And now the only people who could really make decisions in the palace were their majesties and their

former majesties.

"Does anyone know what it is?" Old Lady Cao pursed her lips, "We've never seen this before. It's most

likely newly made. Even if it's flown by their majesties or their former majesties, it can't be made by

themselves. Hasn't anyone heard about it these days?"

Cao Han, who kept silent for a long time, finally spoke, "I've heard some news about it..."

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Han. He lowered his head and clenched his fists in his sleeves, "I've heard

that the envoys from the State of Youyue and the people from the Ministry of Works have made out

something new together."

After a pause, Cao Han went on, "I have inquired about it. People from the Ministry of Works said that it

was made for the Emperor and the Empress to enjoy the moon during Mid-autumn Festival. They said

that this new stuff could fly to the sky with people inside. As for its detail, the people from the Ministry of

Works were ordered not to leak the secret, so they only told this much to me. "

"Maybe... It's the thing we are seeing....

For people to enjoy the moon?" Old Lady Cao narrowed her eyes and then asked, "Did the people from

the State of Youyue and those from the Ministry of Works make it together?"

twirling prayer beads in her hands, Old Lady Cao asked coldly, "When did the State of Youyue and their

majesties become in such good terms? Didn't the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai try every

means to introduce their princesses into his Majesty's imperial household?

I heard that the Empress was furious about it."

Cao Han still lowered his head while replying with uncertainty, "After all, the envoys from the State of

Youyue and the State of Yihai are here to celebrate the birthday of his majesty. Even if the Empress is

dissatisfied with them, she should show some respect to them on the surface, right?

As for the State of Youyue..." Cao Han paused again, "After all, they are only envoys from both the

State of Youyue and the State of Yihai. In the territory of the State of Xia, they have to pay their respect

to the Emperor and the Empress, don't they? Or if they really offend the Emperor and the Empress, I'm

afraid they won't even be able to walk out of the Jin City, right? "

Old Lady Cao turned to Cao Han with a meaningful look in her eyes. After a pause, she said, "Now you

are very favored by the Emperor and the Empress."

Cao Han became more and more flustered, "Well, as your son, how dare I? I am just..."

"All right." However, it seemed that Old Lady Cao didn't want to listen to his explanation at all. She just

said casually, "Let's enjoy the moon. Don't say those nonsense. It's a good thing that you are favored

by the Emperor and the Empress. However, our Cao clan is now on the edge of the blade. You have to

keep up your spirit and think twice before you are in front of the Emperor and the Empress. If our Cao

clan is implicated because of you, I will definitely not spare you. "

"All right..."

Glancing at Cao Han indifferently, Old Lady Cao turned around and ordered the maid behind her, "Ask

the theatrical troupe to prepare for the performance. Give me their program list and I'll order two plays."

Since the stuff up there was just a new thing for their majesties to enjoy the moon, the others in the

clan had no interest in it now. Only the children in the yard still felt fresh and kept staring at it.

Soon, the performance on the stage began. The yard became lively all of a sudden. Except for the

sound of gongs and drums, the other sounds gradually faded away.

Taking a look at Cao Yi, Old Lady Cao said in a low voice, "You can go and wait in my yard after the

dinner."

Cao Yi responded in a low voice while fixing his eyes on the stage.

Looking at the secret movements between the two people sitting in the front, Cao Han slightly pursed

his lips. A dark light flashed through his eyes, and he froze up for a second.

Someone suddenly reached out and held him by the hand. Cao Han was stunned and turned around. It

was his wife looking at him with a smile.

Cao Han's eyesight softened. He held his wife's hand back and lost in thought.

The play on the stage just came to half of it when a cry of surprise suddenly rang out, "It fell! It fell

down! That big Kongming latern! It suddenly fell down! "

"Ah! And it is on fire! It's on fire! "
