Since Wang Congwen had some contact with the seventh prince, then Lady Xian was not likely to be set up by the seventh prince. In fact, they had a collusion. However, with the wisdom of the seventh prince, it was impossible for Yun Shang to see through their plot so easily. Yun Shang thought carefully about what happened that day and realized that everything seemed to be planned, and the hairpins seemed to be a flaw they had deliberately left to her.
But Yun Shang didn't know why they deliberately left such a flaw behind?
Yun Shang was silent all the time. Qian Liu was at a loss what to do. She asked in a low voice, "Your ladyship, is it necessary to give Wang Congwen some warning?"
Yun Shang came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "It's not necessary. You just need to speed up, check the financial accounts, and transfer the money that we deserve to our account, so that we can be assured."
Qian Liu replied in a low voice.
After Qian Liu left, Yun Shang was again in a daze. The seventh prince had been really busy recently. Quite a few people and things were related to him - from the frontier general Feng Ming, to Lady Xian, to Wang Congwen, and to yesterday's rescue of the emperor. It seemed as if everything was knitted into a net. But Yun Shang didn't know what the net looked like or what its purpose was.
Yun Shang even felt that Cangjue Qingsu's harassment tactics at the border were instructed by the seventh prince. Yun Shang would not forget that Cangjue Qingsu had cooperated with the seventh prince before. In their cooperation, the Crown Prince of the State of Yelang and the Crown Prince of the State of Xia both died in that battle.
If what Cangjue Qingsu had done at the border was colluded with the seventh prince, then their purpose was not hard to guess. It was actually a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain. As the State of Xia advocated culture, there were not many military generals available. At present, Cangjue Qingsu came to power and he was well known for being cruel and ruthless. Thus Xia Huanyu would definitely send somebody who was able to fight ag
After dinner, both of them took a walk in the yard. After that, Luo Qingyan went to the study. As soon as Yun Shang picked up a book, Qin Yi came in with a smile and said to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, there is good news."
"Really?" Yun Shang looked up and asked, "what good news?"
Qin Yi replied momentarily, "I was informed from the imperial palace that the candidates for the female official have been chosen. The emperor selected Wang Wanzhi at last."
Yun Shang was quite familiar with the name. She smiled and nodded, "Good news indeed. Wang Wanzhi is now the female official of his majesty, which means every memorial the officials have passed to his majesty and every imperial edict from his majesty will be well known by us. It's really good for us. "
"That's exactly what I think. But as Wang Wanzhi was just selected as a female official, I think we'd better not intervene too much at this time. Otherwise, Wang Wanzhi will surely be targeted by many people and if she moves a little, she will be found. Thus, I'm thinking that we'd better take some actions when things become less eye-catching," Qin Yi said gently.
Yun Shang nodded slightly, "I will do as you said. Tell Wang Wanzhi to stay with his majesty and be careful. The royal position is indeed a good position, but it is also risky. Any carelessness may result in a loss. "
Qin Yi curtsied to her, and withdrew from the room.
