Back in the main hall, Yun Shang sat down on the couch and sneered, "Interesting."
Qian Zhuo looked at Yun Shang strangely, but didn't understand what Yun Shang meant. She just said, "These servants are too bold. They dared to urge the Prince like this. This time, his majesty and your majesty happened to hear it. I don't know how many times such things have happened before."
"Now that your majesty has punished the three servants. It's also a warning to others. The rest of them should not dare to do such a thing again. But in this way, there are fewer people around the Prince to serve. We have to find someone we can trust to fill the vacancy as soon as possible."
Yun Shang just smiled and glanced at Qian Zhuo, without saying anything.
Qian Zhuo felt strange. She touched her nose and asked, "Your majesty, did I say anything wrong?"
Yun Shang didn't say anything. Qian Zhuo then turned to Qian Liu. Seeing that Yun Shang didn't object, Qian Liu said, "Her majesty has always regarded the Prince as an apple of her eye, how could she be careless on picking servants for him. The servants around her are all trustworthy people that chosen by Qian Qian in person at her majesty's order..."
"Ah!" With her mouth wide open, Qian Zhuo exclaimed, "But the three people just now..."
Yun Shang's eyes darkened. "Yes, but the three dared to urge my son in front of me. What does that mean?" "It means that someone bribed the servants of the Prince..." Qian Liu paused and said, "But since they were carefully chosen by Qian Qian, they wouldn't be easily bribed. Then, there is only one possibility."
"I'm afraid someone has secretly get rid of the servants who served the Prince before, and then sent someone to replace them with a disguise."
Yun Shang replied in a low voice and frowned, "It's all my fault. I have been too busy recently and neglected the situation of Bao'er. I didn't know it happened. If I hadn't overheard those words today, I wouldn't have expected it to happen."
"I don't know how long this has it last and if they have done anything to Bao'er." Yun Shang bit her lips and said, "I don't worry if they've poisoned Bao'er because Bao'er has poison-proof bead on him. But I don't know if they've done anything else..."
Yun Shang clenched her fists in her sleeves and said, "There are still three people left. It's not necessarily that nothing is wrong with them. Today you can find an opportunity to test if the remaining three people are our people."
Thinking of that her baby was almost set up by others, Yun Shang became more remorseful. "Even they are our people. I won't use them anymore. The people who serve Bao'er have been replaced, but they know nothing about it. What's the use of keeping such servants?"
Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo agreed in a low voice. Then Yun Shang continued, "Hurry up to choose some suitable people to serve Bao'er. Before you finish it, leave Bao'er in the main hall and I'll take care of him."
After Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo left, Pei Lan brought Yun Shang a cup of tea. Yun Shang raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, frowning. It seemed that there were still many potential dangers in the palace, and they seemed to be much more brilliant and vicious than she had expected. She had to be more careful and find them one by one.
She could allow some potential dangers to exist in the imperial household, but she could never allow them to threaten the lives of the people she cared about.
No way.
Yun Shang squinted, with a bloodthirsty light in her eyes.
"Your majesty, the lunch has been delivered by the imperial kitchen. Would you like to the dishes to be set now?" Hua'er asked softly as she opened the curtain and walked in.
Yun Shang came to her senses all of a sudden. "His majesty and the Prince haven't come back yet. Send someone to the Imperial Garden to look for them. And set the dishes after his majesty and the Prince come back."
