Chapter 1387 Instigate Him To Defect


    Yun Shang fumbled for the embroidery on the handkerchief in her hand casually while replying, "I''ve


    secretly contacted your sister-inw''s parents. What your brother has done is indeed heartless. Your


    sister-inw has a grudge against him. If I secretly support them, they will definitely dare to turn around


    and deal with your brother.


    Your sister-inw has been in the Cao mansion for so many years, and she is your brother''s wife. She


    must be very clear about him. If she changes sides, the situation will be very advantageous to you. "


    A glimmer flickered in Cao Han''s eyes and he asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that I should contact


    my sister-inw in secret? And then we can fight against my eldest brother together? "


    "No."


    Yun Shang shook her head and replied, "Your eldest brother is indeed an extremely important


    opponent on your way to be the chief of the Cao n, but he is not the only opponent.


    You are now not strong enough, and no one else will take you seriously. This is an advantage for you,


    actually. In the current situation, what you need to do is to try every means to secretly reveal what I just


    told you to your other brothers and sisters.


    If they want to be the chief of the n, they will seize this opportunity to contact your sister-inw. At


    that time, you can watch the battle from the mountain and benefit from it.


    I will only give you the chance and proper support. It depends on your own ability to do what you can."


    With excitement written all over his face, Cao Han replied in a hurry, "I see."


    Yun Shang smiled, but changed the topic about the State of Youyue, "You said earlier that the envoys


    from both the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai had done a lot of things in secret after they came


    to the Jin City, and they had contacted many courtiers.... Did they contact the Cao n? Not only you,


    but all the members of the Cao n? "


    Cao Han''s body suddenly went rigid, but he answered honestly, "Yes, they used to contact us."


    And then he hurriedly exined, "But it''s not me that they contacted. I''m not very eye-catching among


    my brothers in the mansion. I just heard that they had contacted my mother and the eldest brother.


    But I really don''t know what they were talking about."


    Yun Shang smiled, "That''s all right. It''s just a casual question. Don''t be nervous."


    Seeing that Cao Han was still nervous, the smile at the corners of Yun Shang''s mouth deepened. She


    said, "Anyway, Prince Ming Yue of the State of Youyue has been locked up in prison. It''s still unknown if


    these envoys from the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai can safely leave the Jin City in peace. I


    don''t care what they have done before in secret."


    Cao Han was stunned and looked at Yun Shang in disbelief. "Your majesties have imprisoned Prince


    Ming Yue from the State of Youyue?"


    "Otherwise? They''ve tried every means to murder his majesty and me. Do we still have to serve them


    well? How can there be such a good thing in the world? "


    Yun Shang didn''t want to say anything more. She just waved her hand casually and said, "Well, don''t


    you have something to discuss with the emperor? Hurry up then! "


    "Yes, your majesty," Cao Han replied and bowed before he left.


    Standing behind Yun Shang and watching Cao Han walk away, Qian Zhuo said, "Cao Han is good at


    ying cute and innocent. He knows clearly about the fire in Weiyang Pce, but he is still pretending


    and shows up in front of your majesty."


    Yun Shang smiled, "He''s just here to inquire about the news on purpose. His majesty is still in the


    Meeting Hall of the Taiji Pce. If he really wanted to find his majesty, he should have asked the


    servants first. He pretended toe to the Emperor, but in fact, what he wanted was only to see me.


    He probably guessed that I would attack the State of Youyue, but he didn''t know the news that his


    majesty had dealt with Prince Ming Yue. Thus he came to test my attitude about the matter.


    Now that he hase, I would naturally do as he wished.


    I can''t let him really take the initiative in the matter."


    Qian Zhuo nodded slightly and said, "No matter whether their internal strife for the position of the Cao


    n''s chief is true or not, it can still keep Cao Han busy for a period of time."


    Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly turned to Qian Zhuo.


    "What''s the matter, your majesty?" Qian Zhuo thought she had said something wrong and asked.


    Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, "Nothing. I just got some inspiration from what you had just


    said."


    Inspired?


    Qian Zhuo was confused. She didn''t know what Yun Shang was thinking about, so she looked at Yun

    Shang in confusion.


    Yun Shang smiled, "The present Cao n may be indeed the one supported by Cao Wenxi and used


    as a tool by her and Xia Houjing decades ago. But after all, so many years have passed, and the Cao


    n is now in a high position in the whole Jin City. Several men from the Cao n are officials in the


    court, and their business is booming. The Cao n is also one of the most popr ns in the Jin City.


    The Cao n of decades ago has long gone. Now, this Cao n is just a branch of the n that came


    from nowhere. This n was unknown before, but now it is extremely prosperous. However, it is easy


    to go from economy to extravagance, but not from extravagance to economy. The Cao n bet on their


    own future and support Xia Houjing. This may be epted by everyone when Cao Wenxi was still


    alive. After all, she was in power at that time.


    But now, Cao Wenxi is gone, and Xia Houjing is like a stray dog. It''s hard to say whether someone else


    in the n has any other thoughts in his mind. These people may be unwilling to give up their wealth,


    status and power, and make a bet with Xia Houjing."


    Qian Zhuo nodded, "I see."


    She then rolled her eyes and understood what Yun Shang meant, "Your majesty, if someone in the Cao


    mansion misses their existing glory and wealth and doesn''t want to work for Xia Houjing, shall we just


    instigate him to defect?"


    Yun Shang smiled, "We don''t need to deliberately instigate them to change sides ."


    "We don''t need to?" Qian Zhuo was confused.


    Yun Shang nodded, "As long as something happens to Xia Houjing and the Cao n is surely involved.


    At that time, someone will voluntarily surrender themselves."


    Yun Shang''s eyes lit up, "I even feel that this moment is a rare opportunity."


    "This moment?"


    Yun Shang nodded, but said nothing.


    Now that Xia Houjing had escaped, he had to hide himself.


    Luo Qingyan said that after Xia Houjing left the pce in the middle of the night yesterday, the butler of


    the Cao n had entered the study where Old Lady Cao and several masters of the Cao n were


    having a secret meeting. They must have then known that Xia Houjing had escaped.


    And they all knew that the Cao n had something to do with Xia Houjing.


    If at this time, his majesty should issue a notice to chase after the key criminal of the court and


    emphasize that if anyone finds out to keep the key criminal, generations of his family will be


    implicated.
