Chapter 769 Entrust Liu Yinfeng

Yun Shang's hand holding the teacup suddenly tilted, and the tea almost spilled out. Fortunately, Yun Shang quickly came to her senses. With a flash in her eyes, she picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and covered the surprise in her eyes with the teacup.

When Yun Shang finished her tea and put down the teacup, her face had already returned to calm.

"You must be kidding, Lady Shu. Now the Empress is grounded in Weiyang Palace, and something's happened to Lady Xiang. In the imperial household, you are the only respected one in the imperial household. Glory has long been in your hands." With a faint smile on her face, Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the pink peach blossoms on the porcelain teacup, thinking fast.

Lady Shu had been in the imperial household for a long time, so she naturally knew that if the concubines in the Palace didn't have a son and a daughter to rely on, no matter how noble they were, it was still uncertain whether they could survive after the Emperor died, let alone glory.

Although Prince Qi was just a fake prince, as long as Xia Huanyu didn't spill the beans, he would still be the support of Lady Shu. But now, because of the eldest princess, Lady Shu's identity had been exposed, and Prince Qi would probably be abandoned by Xia Huanyu without hesitation.

Since she couldn't rely on Prince Qi anymore, Lady Shu might have seen it more clearly that she was just a pawn that could be discarded at any time in the hands of Xia Huanyu. She had no choice but to find a supporter to ensure her glory and wealth.

She couldn't count on the seventh prince as the news that she was a secret guard should soon spread to the seventh prince. The seventh prince would definitely not believe him anymore when he knew she was just pretending to ally with him and the eldest princess and that she had betrayed the eldest princess.

Lady Shu lost the support of Prince Qi and dared not to rely on the seventh prince, so she had only one choice left.

Yun Shang curled up her lips, with a touch of coldness in her eyes. The imperial household was indeed the place that could change a person dramatically. Lady Shu, who was just a secret guard, was not willing to let go of the glory and wealth after she had enjoyed the noble life.

But Lady Shu forgot that Yun Shang had witnessed that she betrayed the eldest princess. How could she trust her again?

Lady Shu frowned slightly and fixed her eyes on Yun Shang unblinkingly. "I believe that you are smart enough to understand what I'm talking about."

Yun Shang didn't respond. Lady Shen paused and then smiled slowly. "Forget it. I just invited you here to have a cup of tea today. If others saw you walk out of my palace unhappily, they would think that I had bullied you. Forget it. Let's talk about something else, something you might be interested in."

Yun Shang smiled at Lady Shu and raised her eyebrows, "Oh? What is it?"

Lady Shu thought for a while and said with a smile, "Let's talk about Mr. Liu Yinfeng."

Yun Shang's eyelids twitched, but she couldn't help smiling. "Didn't Your

arely heard that the emperor of a country would make such a promise to a person who is not even a minister. But if Mr. Liu is really as loyal and talented as Your Highness said, it makes sense."

Hearing this, Lady Shu smiled, "Yes, but I think this is... not fair to..."

Lady Shu didn't speak out the name, but Yun Shang could clearly understand who she was talking about.

Yun Shang smiled faintly and didn't reply. Lady Shu continued, "The seventh prince is the son of Liu Feixue. Liu Yinfeng has taught him for a long time and always taken care of him. I'm afraid that Liu Yinfeng would be partial to the seventh prince because of Lady Liu and choose the wrong person."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "If Mr. Liu chooses the seventh prince, it means that he think the seventh prince have some outstanding ability and could be a good emperor. Since His Majesty trusts Mr. Liu so much and even makes such a promise to entrust the country to him, I believe in Mr. Liu's insight and ability.

A hint of sadness flashed through Lady Shu's eyes. She kept silent for a long time before she said, "I'm a little tired after talking so much..."

Yun Shang understood the implication in her words. She stood up with a smile and bowed, "Then I'll take my leave, Your Highness."

Lady Shu sneered and nodded. Then Yun Shang left slowly.

After walking out of the palace, Yun Shang sneered, "She is really full of tricks. I even could see her purpose on her face. She just want me to unite with her to deal with the seventh prince."

Qin Yi smiled and put a cloak on Yun Shang.

Yun Shang sighed and turned to Qin Yi, "I don't know that I have become something like a hotcake that everyone fights for."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness, just ignore her."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "I want to, but she is a concubine in the Palace. If I ignored her, I'm afraid I will be accused of being disrespectful."

The two of them walked out of the Imperial Palace, got on the carriage and headed towards Prince Rui's mansion.
