"Lady Shu?" Astonishment appeared on Yun Shang's face when she heard what the empress said. She was silent for a long time before she asked curiously, "I have no enmity with Lady Shu before. But why did she send people to assassinate me?"
The empress smiled coldly and let out a slight sigh. "You do have no enmity with her, but don't forget that lady Shu has a son, and the eleventh prince is talented and was often praised by his Majesty in all the princes. The crown prince was dead and the seventh prince is weak. It was supposed to be a great chance for the eleventh prince to take the power. However, Prince Rui came out halfway. Prince Rui was courageous and resourceful, so the emperor thought highly of him. Lady Shu was unwilling to accept the fact that the throne was farther and farther away from the eleventh prince. But you... You are lady Rui, and the person that Prince Rui values the most. Of course she will laid her hands on you. "
Hearing what the empress said, Yun Shang couldn't help but frown and said sadly, "but Prince Rui has never thought of competing for anything with the eleventh Prince... When it came to power and influence, his royal highness was second to none in the state of Ning. If my father had no heir, the throne would belong to him sooner or later. The reason why Prince Rui chose to come back to the state of Xia is that he wants to live with his families. Prince Rui has no biological parents since he was a child, and he always felt lonely. Then he finally knew the truth of his birth, and he cherished it very much. "
The empress let out a sigh, full of disappointment on her face. "La
shook her head. "I tried many ways to do so, but they were all ruined by Lady Shu. Shang'er, could you do me a favor? If the emperor dotes on Qing Ming, lady Shu's good days will come to an end then."
"I don't know. What can I do for you?" Yun Shang frowned, eyes full of hesitation and confusion.
The empress waved at Yun Shang, and Yun Shang went closer to her. The empress whispered something in Yun Shang's ear, and Yun Shang nodded her head repeatedly. After a while, Yun Shang straightened up with a smile on her face, turned around and bowed to the empress. "I understand."
The empress nodded her head with a smile, "then I'll wait for your good news."
Yun Shang curtsied to the empress and walked out of the Wei Yang palace. As soon as they left the palace, Qian Zhuo immediately asked, "Your Highness, do you really want to cooperate with the empress? I think the empress is just taking advantage of you. "
Yun Shang stopped and frowned. She asked coldly, "why not? We don't have any power in the state of Xia. If we can borrow the power of the Su clan, why not? "
