This is not the first time Yunshang said this, but it still made Cao Han involuntarily shudder: "I don't dare... I don't dare."
"It's fine if you don't dare." Yun Shang casually lowered her eyes and straightened her sleeves: "Apart from that, do you have anything else to report?"
Cao Han shook his head: "No, I just found an excuse to rush into the palace today, so I came to report this matter to my empress."
"Okay." Yun Chang stopped in her tracks: "In that case, go to the meeting hall by yourself. Although it's just an excuse, but Cao's mansion has a lot of contacts, and I don't know if there are any people in the palace. You have to be thorough in acting, otherwise, if someone gets caught, it won't be a good thing."
"Yes." Cao Han bowed his head in response, saluted Yun Shang again, and then quickly walked towards the meeting hall.
Yun Chang stood in the distance for a while before turning back to the Tai Chi Hall.
In the evening, when Luo Qingyan returned to Taiji Hall, Yunshang told him about it.
"Your Majesty, why do you think Cao Han did this?" Yun Shang was really puzzled: "Although the Cao Mansion and Xia Houjing probably already know about it, we have already suspected them, but there is no need to directly confiscate the entire Cao Mansion." Let it out?"
"Lead us to investigate? Attract our attention? Make a noise?" Yun Shang frowned slightly: "If it is really found out that they have harbored Xia Houjing, wouldn't the Cao Mansion be over? Even if we didn't find anything, Cao Han lost his trust in front of me, and he lost a pawn."
"What is their purpose for such a thing that is not worth the loss?"
Luo Qingyan tapped his fingers on the table lightly: "It's possible to say something. Xia Houjing knows us well. He knows that just relying on Cao Han's mere words, he will definitely not send the Imperial Forest Army with great fanfare or It was the city defenders who went to search, and most of them just secretly dispatched secret guards to investigate."
"The hidden guards in our hands are limited. If Cao Han gave them ten or eight places, and those places are far apart, once the hidden guards are scattered, we will have no one in our hands. It will be much more convenient for them to do what they want to do."
"We didn't find anything at that time. At most, they would damage Cao Han, and even Cao Han, at most, would be regarded as an abandoned son. We have no evidence to punish him."
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows: "If so, what are they trying to do?"
"Who knows, maybe it's Xia Houjing's actions?" Luo Qingyan didn't take this matter too seriously: "Just wait and see what happens. Right now, Xia Houjing has been released, and let's tie him up." It's like a kite, no matter how far he runs, as long as we hold this thread in our hands, we don't have to worry too much."
"Don't say that Cao Han just said that he suspected that Xia Houjing was hidden by the Cao Mansion. Even if he had conclusive evidence to prove that the Cao Mansion hid Xia Houjing, I would not do it until I was sure that everyone in the Cao Mansion could be completely convicted. .It was released, and I never thought of capturing him again."
Luo Qingyan glanced at Yunshang with a smile: "What are you doing when you catch it back? It's useless to hold it in your hands. I worry about this and that all day long. Now it's great."
Yun Chang secretly thought it was funny, glanced at Luo and said lightly: "Your Majesty is very open-minded."
"That's natural."
Luo whispered softly: "Let's wait and see what happens, and see what Cao Han will present to you in the next two days."
Yun Chang nodded and said nothing more.
Luo Qingyan thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked again: "By the way, Xia Houjing's first poisoning attack should be soon, right? How many more days?"
Yun Shang calculated the time: "There are still two days."
"The first poisoning occurred seven days after the poisoning. Then every time the mood fluctuated greatly, or when it was stimulated, the poisoning would occur."
Yun Chang hooked the corners of her mouth: "In life, there are seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. As long as these seven emotions and six desires are touched, it will be poisoned. "
Luo nodded lightly: "Very good, this poison is interesting. It would be better if it was taken out earlier."
"The concubine didn't think of this at the beginning."
"It's okay, it's not too late now."
Yun Shang suddenly had an idea in her mind: "Cao Han should submit the properties he said belonged to the Cao family but not under the name of the Cao family by tomorrow at the latest. If it is true as His Majesty said, the Cao family will The purpose of doing this with Xia Houjing is to make a fool of ourselves, so they will definitely take advantage of what we have done."
"Why don't we set the time for action in the day after tomorrow, when Xia Houjing's poison is revealed?"
Luo Qingyan turned his eyes to look at Yunshang, with a smile in his eyes: "Empress Empress, it's gone bad."
Yun Shang stretched out her hand and climbed up Luo Qingyan's neck: "Does the emperor like me who has become bad, or does he not like it?"
…
As expected by Yun Shang, Cao Han presented a piece of paper through Wang Wanzhi the next day.
"When Cao Han presented the things to the minister, he hesitated to speak for a while, and then he choked out a sentence. He always felt that His Majesty trusted Lord Wang very much, but he didn't know that Lord Wang actually belonged to the empress."
Yun Chang hooked the corner of her mouth: "He said that? How did you reply?"
"Yes." Wang Wanzhi lowered her eyes, her face was calm: "My minister said that the empress is kind to the subordinates, and it is human nature for me to serve the empress. Besides, your majesty and the empress have a deep relationship. Empress, there is no conflict."
"After Weichen finished saying this, Cao Han just sighed in a low voice, yes, he didn't mean anything else, it's just a kind of fate to serve the same master."
"Also, people's hearts are separated from each other. Although the emperor and empress are deeply in love, they are two people after all. Who knows if this deep love can last a lifetime."
"After Cao Han finished speaking, he laughed and joked with Weichen again, saying that he just said it casually and expressed his feelings, and had no other meaning, so I told Weichen not to think too much."
"It is also said that although the official position of the humble official is not too high, it is beyond the imagination of many people in the court. On the side of the emperor, rising to the top, or falling into hell, it is just a matter of a moment. Although there are risks, it is also an opportunity, an excellent opportunity. As long as you seize the opportunity, even if you can't be an extremely human minister, it is not difficult to fly on a branch and become a phoenix."
Yun Shang laughed: "This Cao Han is quite interesting. He probably never thought that you would tell me these words exactly."
"He looks like he's just gossiping, but he's also... sowing discord."
