Chapter 1395 To Sow Dissension


    It was not the first time that Yun Shang had said this, but it still made Cao Han''s heart skip a beat," I... I


    dare not to do that. "


    "That''s good." Yun Shang lowered her eyes and adjusted her sleeves casually, "Other than that, do you


    have anything else to report?"


    Cao Han shook his head and said, "No. I came to the pce in a hurry today just to find an excuse to


    report this to your majesty."


    "Okay." Yun Shang stopped and said to him, "In that case, you can go to the Meeting Hall by yourself


    now. Although it''s just a random excuse, the Cao n has a wide range of contacts. We are not sure if


    they have nted their people in the pce. A y should beplete. Otherwise, it''s not a good


    thing if you are caught out. "


    "Yes, your majesty." Cao Han bowed to Yun Shang and then walked quickly towards the Meeting Hall.


    Yun Shang stood in the distance for a while before turning back to the Taiji Pce.


    In the evening, when Luo Qingyan returned to the Taiji Pce, Yun Shang told him about it, "Your


    Majesty, what do you think Cao Han did this for?" Yun Shang was really confused, "Although the Cao


    mansion and Xia Houjing are probably clear that we have already suspected them, there is no need for


    them to directly push the whole Cao n out, right?


    They mean to lead us to investigate the matter? To attract our attention? To distract our attention?" Yun


    Shang frowned, "If we find out that they have indeed hidden Xia Houjing, won''t the Cao mansion be


    over? Even if we haven''t found out anything, Cao Han will lose his trust from me and be an


    abandoned pawn.


    "What''s their purpose for such a worthless deal?"


    Luo Qingyan tapped the table with his finger and then replied, "It''s possible that they are distracting our


    attention. Xia Houjing also knows us well. He knows that with only a few words from Cao Han, we will


    definitely not send the pce guards or the garrison troop to search him openly. We will most likely


    send the secret guards to investigate it in secret.


    As we have limited number of secret guards. If Cao Han tells us ten or eight hiding ces which are far


    away, the secret guards will have to be dispersed for the search. In that case, we won''t have any secret


    guards in hand and it will be much easier for them to do anything then.


    In the end, we may find nothing. As a result, they will at most lose Cao Han, and he will be regarded as


    their abandoned pawn. And we won''t have any evidence to punish him."


    Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "If so, what do they want to do?"


    "Who knows? Maybe Xia Houjing has some n." Luo Qingyan didn''t take it too seriously, "Let''s just


    wait and see. Anyway, Xia Houjing has been released. We have tied a line to him, just like a kite. No


    matter how far he runs, as long as we pull the line in our hands, we don''t have to worry too much.


    Not to mention that Cao Han suspected that Xia Houjing had been hidden by the Cao n. Even if he


    had irrefutable evidence to prove that the Cao n have indeed hidden Xia Houjing, I will not take


    action until I am sure that all the members of the Cao n arepletely convicted. Since we''ve letting


    him out. I have never thought of taking him back. "


    Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang with a smile, "And why should we take him back? It''s useless to hold


    him in hand. In that case, we will have to be worried about this or that all day long. Now it''s a good


    situation. "


    Yun Shang thought it was funny. She nced at Luo Qingyan and said, "Your Majesty is quite clear-


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    minded."


    "Of course,"


    Luo Qingyan said in a low voice, "Let''s just wait and see what Cao Han will report to you in the next two


    days."


    Yun Shang nodded but said nothing.


    Luo Qingyan thought for a while and then asked in a low voice, "By the way, it should be the right time


    soon for Xia Houjing''s first poison attack, right? How many days will it take? "


    Yun Shang calcted the time and then replied, "There are still two days left.


    His first poison attack may ur seven days after he got poisoned. From then on, every time his mood


    fluctuates greatly or he is irritated, he will have a poison attack. "


    Yun Shang smiled, "In life, any man has seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, including joy,


    anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. As long as any


    of these seven emotions or six sensory pleasures is triggered, he will be attacked by the poison in his


    body. "


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "That''s good. The poison is interesting. If only we could make use of it earlier. "


    "I didn''t think of this strategy in the beginning.


    It doesn''t matter. It''s not toote."


    With that, an idea suddenly came to Yun Shang''s mind, "ording to what Cao Han had told me, he


    should submit the list of properties that belong to the Cao n but not under the name of the Cao


    mansion tomorrow at thetest. If, as your majesty said, the purpose of the Cao n as well as Xia


    Houjing is to distract our attention, they will certainly act before we do something.


    Thus, how about we just set the time of our action on the day after tomorrow when Xia Houjing''s poison


    attack begins?"


    Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang with a smile, "Your majesty, you''ve gone to the bad."


    Yun Shang put her arms around Luo Qingyan''s neck and asked, "Then do you like or don''t the one who


    has gone to the bad, uncle? "


    Just as Yun Shang expected, on the second day, Cao Han passed a piece of paper to her through


    Wang Wanzhi, "When Cao Han handed the paper to me, he seemed to want to say something but


    hesitated for a long time. Atst he said he always felt that his majesty trusted Lord Wang very much,


    but he didn''t expect that Lord Wang was working for your majesty."


    Yun Shang smiled, "Did he say that? How did you reply then? "


    "Yes, your majesty," Wang Wanzhi lowered her eyes and replied calmly, "I said that the Empress has


    helped me a lot, and it''s natural for me to serve the Empress. What''s more, his majesty has a deep


    rtionship with the Empress. And my being loyal to his majesty or to the Empress makes no


    difference.


    After I finished speaking, Cao Han just sighed in a low voice. He replied that he didn''t mean anything


    else and he felt that it''s fate to serve the same master.


    He then added that there was a huge gap between people''s hearts. Although your majesties'' love was


    deep, it was still between two people. Who knew if this love couldst for a lifetime.


    After saying that, Cao Hanughed and then joked with me. He told me that he just said it casually. He


    didn''t mean anything else and asked me not to think too much.


    He also went on pointing out that although my position was not very high, it was beyond the


    imagination of many people in the court. He said that being on the side of the emperor, it was only a


    matter of seconds for me to be sessful or to fall into hell. Although there were risks, it was also


    a good opportunity. He told me as long as I seized the opportunity, it would''t be difficult for me to have a


    very high position in the court even if I might not be a supreme official. "


    Yun Shang smiled andmented, "This Cao Han is really interesting. He probably never thought that


    you would tell me what he said in detail.


    He seemed to be just chatting casually, but... He was trying to sow dissension between us. "
