Yun Shang] smiled. Qi Ruihai looked calm and told a lie calmly.
"Lord Qi also knows what kind of crime it is to smuggle the forbidden medicine into the palace."
Qi Ruihai nodded imperceptibly and answered in a low voice, "death penalty."
"Yes." Yun Shang smiled, "But I have to tell you the truth. Among all the directors in the imperial household, you are the most promising one. If Lord Qi can help me, I will pretend not to know about it and won't cut off your way of wealth. I'm the only one in his majesty's harem now. Lord Qi, what do you think? "
Qi Ruihai pondered for a long time and didn't respond. Yun Shang was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
After a long while, Qi Ruihai suddenly knelt down and said, "I, Qi Ruihai, am willing to work for your majesty."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and said, "Well, Lord Qi is a man of sense. In that case, if you are loyal to me, I won't treat you unfairly. But to put it bluntly, betrayal is the last thing I want. If you betray me, I have thousands of ways to make your life worse than death. Not only you, but also the people you care about. "
A hint of coldness flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, but Qi Ruihai was secretly shocked. He nodded and agreed.
After Qi Ruihai left, Qian Zhuo came in. She looked back at his back and said gently, "Your Majesty, I don't understand."
Yun Shang took a look at Qian Zhuo. There were many people around her, but not many people she could trust. Qian Zhuo was one of them. Although she was more mature than before, she still lacked a lot in dealing with things. She hoped that she could grow up quickly, so she smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me, what do you not understand? "
Qian Zhuo said, "I don't understand two things. First, you can ask someone to invite Qi Ruihai here directly. Why did you find an excuse?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang looked at the faint parrot in the bird cage aside and said softly, "Qi Ruihai is smart. If I ask him to Weiyang Palace for no reason, he will understand that I have a plan and will think of all kinds of ways to deal with it in advance. What I want is to make him unprepared."
"Let me guess. The second thing you don't under
with a smile.
Hearing this, Cao Shanxiu looked very happy. She quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, your majesty."
After thanking her, Cao Shanxiu looked up at Yun Shang, thought for a moment, and said, "There's one thing. I don't know if I think too much, but I'm afraid that something bad will happen if I don't report it to you."
Seeing her expression, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "I didn't think you were such a coward before? What was it? Tell me. "
Cao Shanxiu nodded and said in a low voice, "Not long ago, your majesty was not in the palace. I was in collusion with Lady Li to deal with the affairs of the imperial household. By accident, I found that Lady Li had secretly put several seals on several white papers when she took your private seal from Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi. I don't know what did she do this for, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"Oh? How could this happen? " Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Qian Zhuo. The confusion on Qian Zhuo's face didn't seem to be fake. It could be seen that she really didn't know about it, but Lady Li didn't know kung fu. Besides, Yun Shang had ordered that if Lady Li and Lady Cao used her private seal, Lady Li, Lady Cao, Qin Yi and Qian Zhuo must be present. Qian Zhuo was good at Kung Fu. If Lady Li could hide the truth from Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi, how could Cao Shanxiu find out?
Yun Shang thought to herself, but she didn't show it on her face.
