Yun Shang fumbled for the embroidery on the handkerchief in her hand casually while replying, "I've secretly contacted your sister-in-law's parents. What your brother has done is indeed heartless. Your sister-in-law has a grudge against him. If I secretly support them, they will definitely dare to turn around and deal with your brother.
Your sister-in-law 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-in-law 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 become the chief of the Cao clan, 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 clan, they will seize this opportunity to contact your sister-in-law. 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 clan? Not only you, but all the members of the Cao clan? "
Cao Han's body suddenly went rigid, but he answered honestly, "Yes, they used to contact us."
And then he hurriedly explained, "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 playing cute and innocent. He knows clearly about the fire in Weiyang Palace, 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 Palace. If he really wanted to find his majesty, he should have asked the servants first. He pretended to come 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 has come, I would naturally do as he wished.
